The Potted Lobster - Northumberland

Stumbled across the Opentable website whilst looking for an eaterie that catered for a lobster lover. And by chance found the Lobster Bar and what a find! It didn't disappoint on any level. My lobster loving family member gave it a whopping rating of 9. Pretty amazing as the only other real contender; ever so slightly ahead at 10 is the Red Lobster chain in the States where the size of lobster tends to be greater. So size aside you're on to a winner if you decide to dine out here. Will most definitely visit again

Disappointing the overall lighting in the evening is just not good and totally ruins the ambience. we could not see our food and the light that was there was not pleasant at all. It is probably a lot nicer during the day, the place could look good for dinning with the right tasteful lighting. the food was not good at all; extreme lack of spices, taste and abundance. Wrong combinations and bad taste overall. not too expensive in general but overpriced by far for what we ended up with! the place needs some serious rethinking.

We went there for my boyfriend's bday. Table for 7pax. On a Saturday night. It wasn't busy inside but all the outdoor sitting was full. We mainly choose the little dishes to share between all of us, most of it fish, and everything was very tasty and well presented!! Service and cocktails where also great!!! Will definetely go back again

Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. Good choice on menu and specials. Service was efficient and we didn’t feel hurried. Will definitely be back: this was our first visit to Northumberland and we have had a wonderful time.

Staff are friendly but very disorganised. Run out of wine glasses Run out of menu's Ordered bread and butter for starters and had to ask for it times. Got it after I have finished my whole meal. I did not have to pay for it.
