✨ A Sunday Roast Worth Travelling For… ✨
There’s something special about a Sunday in Craster.

The pretty harbour, the sound of the sea, the fresh Northumberland air, and the dramatic silhouette of Dunstanburgh Castle on the horizon create the perfect backdrop for one of life’s greatest pleasures… a proper Sunday roast.

Join us for beautifully roasted meats, crispy duck fat potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables and rich, homemade gravy, all served with the finest local ingredients and plenty of care.

Whether you’ve spent the morning exploring the coastline or simply fancy escaping for a leisurely lunch by the sea, there’s no better place to settle in and make the most of your Sunday.

Because Sundays were made for great food, great views and great company. 🌊🍷

The catch that’s worth making a trip for… 🌊✨

Perfectly pan-roasted fillet of sea bream – a beautifully delicate white fish with a light, sweet flavour and crisp golden skin that’s packed with texture. Naturally fresh and wonderfully flaky, it’s the kind of fish that lets quality ingredients do all the talking.

Served with layers of buttery potato terrine, vibrant Tenderstem broccoli and finished with a rich, gently spiced curried mussel velouté that brings warmth, depth and a subtle taste of the coast to every bite. Available on our evening menu.

Simple. Elegant. Unforgettable.

Who said fish fingers were just for kids? 😉

Meet our Posh Fish Finger Bap… golden, flaky fish tucked into a toasted brioche bun, layered with homemade tartare sauce and finished with a generous spoonful of proper mushy peas. Simple ingredients, done exceptionally well. 🌊

It’s comfort food with a coastal upgrade, best enjoyed with a sea view and something cold to drink.
