The potted lobster appetizer was underwhelming and actually a bit disappointing but both the langostines and the sticky toffee pudding made up for it.

We stayed in Bamburgh castle for a week and had lunch here on our last day. It was fortunate we…read morewaited until then because otherwise we would have run up quite a bill coming here repeatedly. Even though they specialize in seafood, I had the 10 oz sirloin with a cup of chowder and my wife had the shoulder of lamb. My food was good but the lamb was mouthwatering delicious. To be fair, I had never had lamb before, so I didn't know if it's usually that good or if they did something special with theirs. Portions were large enough to have leftovers for dinner, so that was nice. Service was fine, a little more hands off than we're used to in the U.S. but that seems to be common in the UK. Overall, definitely worth your while if you're in the area.

Wow! Great service and REALLY tasty food! When you are a captive crowd at a castle, you don't…read moreexpect great food. They could have had so-so food for too much money, but instead, there is a wide variety of delicious options at the Clock Tower Tea Room. My toasted tuna was delicious. They made it fresh in front of me. My husband loved his quiche and the portion sizes of both were great. There were so many different yummy looking options! If you are at Bamburgh castle, don't hesitate to go here. You won't regret it!

Staggeringly delicious scones and ploughman's…read more Our family of four recently had a late breakfast here that featured - no joke - the best scones we had in a scone filled tour of Great Britain from Dover to Edinburgh through London and the castles of Northumberland. Both they and the ploughman's were so good that we ended up eating lunch here as well. And while the soup, salad, and sandwiches we had for lunch weren't quite up to the same level they were still mighty tasty. My only nit (and it is a small one) is that though the coffee was reasonably tasty the sharp contrast between my smallish cup of joe and my wife's enormous pot of tea was more than a little dispiriting.

The fish was perfectly fried, and wasn't greasy or dripping with oil. They gave us a generous amount of chips, which were the right amount of crispy. Do I dare say this was the best fish & chips joint I've ever been to?

There's a separate on site building for its roastery. The coffee is ace, we got a flat white, a cappuccino and two Americanos and the coffee smell was delicious. I've noted many of the chain coffee places don't have this notable inviting aroma. The home - made cakes and sweet treats were delicious too. I'd give it 5 green stars for its environmental commitments. It was real busy and we had to stand a while to get the bench seating outside in a breezy almost warm day. They had ample room inside but almost everybody opted for outdoors. They say that their mission is to bring top quality, speciality grade, carefully sourced arabica coffee beans from around the world, into the hands of UK coffee lovers. I agree they do. I would have liked to find out if their coffee is shade grown and if they buy from all female farm workers. I wonder too if they decaffeinate their own coffee and if so how? Really worth supporting.

I like that it was a kind of annex to the pub, so seemed really private. I forgot to book for breakfast, but the lady in the pub was extremely understanding and we had a cooked breakfast within a few minutes. (The Craster kipper was to die for!) All of the staff were friendly and extremely welcoming. Overall, it was excellent value. It was one of the most pleasant stays I've had in a pub and I will definitely be back. Absolutely excellent, in every respect.

Beautiful situation at the west end of Beadnell village. The food is OK and not hugely overpriced. Local fish dishes are on offer as well as local beers. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Well suited to large and family parties. For many years the place was owned by a family, but a recent change of ownership may have contributed to a slight drop in standards. Food portions are not always generous and meals are not always as hot as one might wish for.
