Bamburgh lobster – served as a creamy egg and brandy thermidor stuffed in the shell; grilled with garlic and parsley butter; or poached and served cold with wild garlic mayo – is the star of this nautical-styled gem. Seafood platters for two, piled high with lobster, Lindisfarne oysters, Craster crab, pickled herring and more, come with hand-cut chips and crusty home-baked bread.
