The menu is expertly crafted by their head chef, showcasing the finest local meats, game and poultry alongside delectable seafood sourced from the renowned Northumberland coast.

The Black Swan Inn, Seahouses (Gastropub) 

Seahouses’ oldest purpose-built pub is now an elegant and sophisticated gastropub specialising in seafood serving the finest dishes using the highest quality ingredients which are sourced from local fishermen and butchers.

The Potted Lobster, Bamburgh (Restaurant) 

The Potted Lobster Bamburgh offers a unique and relaxed dining experience with a menu packed with fresh, locally sourced seafood including local Lindisfarne Oysters and Shetland Mussels.

Swallowfish, Seahouses (Seafood Retailer) 

Swallowfish is based in The Fisherman’s Kitchen in Seahouses complete with the original smokehouses which have operated on this site since 1843. Some claim this is one of the possible places where the modern 'Kipper' was invented but now serves an incredible range of fresh fish, shellfish and smoked fish as well as their famous seafood platter and lobsters.

R. Carter and Son (Quality Butchers) 

Having been present in Bamburgh for over 125 years, R. Carter and Son sell meat and sausages, all of which are sourced from local farmers who supply their lamb, beef and pork. They produce a wide range of homemade pies and their award winning bacon is cured and smoked on the premises.

Turnbull's Northumbrian Food (Gourmet Supermarket) 

Established in 1880, Turnbull’s have become the must-visit home of Northumbrian Food with the creation of a flagship Food Hall on the edge of Alnwick, which opened in December 2019. The modern, state-of the art Food Hall encompasses a traditional butcher as well as an indulgent selection of seasonal vegetables, award-winning pies and salads, hot and cold food-to-go and much more.
