Good chippy in Seahouses, Northumberland? - Now Puffins trip report

The main ones are Neptune and Hooks (formerly known as Pinnacles). They are almost opposite one another. There's also Lewis's a couple of minutes up the high street. They are all very similar.

Eat them on a bench overlooking the harbour https://maps.app.goo.gl/JZ9uGWMr6v5TBrb6A

The best fish and chips are further south at the Harbour View at Seaton Sluice.

thanks for the reference to Seaton Sluice. I've never been but there's a National Trust property I'm hoping to visit this trip. Good info

I know you asked about Seahouses, but in case you are looking for seafood in the area more generally later, we had a really excellent lunch at the Potted Lobster in Bamburgh just up the road.

We visited the puffins as well- loads to see tho the sea was slightly rough when we went. We also learnt the hard way that if your boat is due back in during low tide you need to queue to get back into the port as there is only one dock that can be used for both boarding and disembarking when the tide is low- we wound up bobbing just outside the port for about 20 minutes waiting for our slot.

thanks for the heads up Cat VH

we specifically picked a time when the tide is up - my wife would have trouble with too many steps.

I had one of the best meals of my life in Seahouses at the Black Swan Inn. It's a bit fancier than one of the chippies, but the food was incredible.

interesting, Mardee

I've just looked at the menu. Sounds wonderful

well yesterday at Inner Farne, Northumberland in far northeast England, before we could get to the Puffins the Arctic Terns, who commute 18,000 miles a year, and who were nesting next to the boardwalk and even in some cases on the boardwalk gave an exceptionally loud and fierce greeting to walkers. I was divebombed and pecked at least 11 times.

The puffins were starting to raft which our guide told us meant they would be gone within 2 weeks. Saw just a few Puflets (fluffy balls of feathers with a huge appetite) but plenty of protective and very good fishers parents.

we, yesterday, were much later in the season.

back soon
