Northumberland Street Food

Absolutely amazing fish and chips. The fish is cooked to order instead of being deep fried in batter. The wait is around 10 minutes as everything is made fresh. Wonderful experience.

This charming coastal town can be a bit challenging when it comes to finding parking, so be prepared! Despite what the restaurant website says, it seems to be closed more often than not. If it had been open, we would have ordered takeout and enjoyed our meal in the lovely garden at the corner of Marine Rd and Northumberland St, which offers stunning views of the sea.

We ordered takeout from this restaurant twice while staying in Alnmouth for a week, and both times the food was really delicious. During our visits, we tried the Lobster and Fries, Crabcakes with sweet potato fries, and the Smoked Haddock Mac and Cheese, which was the best Mac and Cheese I've ever had. The food was prepared quickly, and packaged well for us to take back to enjoy. We will definitely be returning.

The menu over-claimed and so we were sorely disappointed. We ordered the bun “full to the gunwales” with lobster prawn and with mayonnaise. It was full but only of mayonnaise and an OK amount of prawn, but the tiniest slither of lobster. Couldn’t taste anything other than the mayo. Chucked it away sadly. Pity as the people were lovely and other reviews were great. Maybe it was impacted by the pandemic’s challenges.

Great seafood takeaway for lunch sitting in the sunand back for an ice cream later! Such a character too!
