Creel & Reel Seafood Trailer in Northumberland

Finally after a number of years we made it to Creel and Reel. Hot lobster rolls and a bacon and scallop sandwich. Absolutely delicious.

What a surprise to find this amazing father and son team serving restaurant worthy seafood cooked to order from a small trailer close to the beach. And what amazing food it is too! We had Cheesey Crab, brown crab meat cooked with with tarragon, cayenne and cheese and served with a slice of fresh lemon and eaten sitting outside on the picnic tables in the sunshine. Mouthwatering! And that's not to mention the seriously good crispy chips. A must if you're anywhere near Bamburgh Castle.

Wow what an excellent find on the links car park bambrugh The seafood was amazing and so fresh. Can get very busy but didn’t have to wait long and it was certainly worth it !

We were staying near Bamburgh for a few days and became aware of Creel and Reel so thought we’d give it a try . My wife and I both opted for the half lobster and fries. Food was superb and the most difficult decision was what to order. We’ll definitely be back .. Give Creel and Reel a try and like us, you won’t be disappointed.

We live locally and visit summer and winter to enjoy restaurant quality seafood at street food prices. I've tried most dishes on the menu and they are all excellent. To check opening times etc search creel and reel on facebook.

Absolutely love the food from Creel and Reel. It's our third visit and the food and service has been excellent every time. We had the Monkfish skewer, seared Scalops and garlic butter, Scallop and bacon roll and a portion of fries. Scallops are huge, meaty and full of flavour as is the Monksfish. Perfect location for a walk through the dunes onto Bamburgh beach and the parking was free today but usually £5. I wish we could eat here every day.

Fabulous scallop and bacon roll with fries. The scallops were huge, plenty of yummy thick bacon. The guy was amazing as he was serving so many but everything so well organised and a buzzer to let you know when your food was ready. Would highly recommend and we will be back.

Called up on a wet Sunday lunch time. The lobster roll was to die for, yes it may not be the cheapest but absolutely fantastic. The homemade burger was also amazing and the chips perfectly seasoned. Service was polite and we even got a buzzer so we could wait in the car out of the rain. We will be back as only live down the coast.

An absolute delight to head off the amazing Northumberland beaches, over the wind swept dunes and discover this tasty gem. A great find and lovely to get some local knowledge for the rest of our stay. Lobster roll was outstanding - thank you!

All I can say is WOW!!!!! Me and my partner have been wanting to try this food for a few months now and finally we got to try it and it did not disappoint! We ordered a few things from the menu, lobster roll, scallops and crab and spent the entire time just saying wow with every bite! Lol we will definitely be back best seafood either one of us have ever had!

Really tasty food would recommend dippy crab, lobster roll, monkfish and scallops all really good!!!

Stopped here after walking along the beach, was around 14:30 and really busy. I ordered the monkfish and chorizo skewer. It was delicious, fresh and piping hot. Will definitely eat here again, everyone was commenting on how good their food was. I’ve written this review straight after eating to make sure I didn’t forget. Really good. Eat here!

Ordered lobster, monkfish & chorizo and cod with Ragu sauce. All cooked to perfection, really tasty and fresh. Tasted of the sea. Service really quick, and very helpful and friendly. Will go again when in the area. Hugely recommended .

Fab.delic ,very reasonably priced.Do not miss.Perfect spot with the Castle and the sea just behind the duneEating here really made our trip so memorable

What an amazing find!! Beautiful freshly prepared food & excellent friendly service. It was closed (due to a broken generator) on our arrival, but happily it reopened before we left. Our first dinner (that we pre- ordered by text, was ready for collection on time and eaten at home) was so delicious, it was followed by lunch the following day at the Bamburgh location. We were towards the end of the lunch spell and so a number of items were sold out. But it meant that we all had something different - and everything was equally as good as the previous night’s dinner. We returned the next day for a final lunch on the way home. Between us, over the 3 days we had almost everything on the menu - the lobster, monkfish, prawn chilli burger, scallops, fishy fries. The food was freshly prepared to order and it was all hot and delicious. The quality of the food and the friendliness of the service never changed. We will be back next year!!

Oh my goodness! Lobster and scallops to die for! It’s our first time staying here and we’ve found an absolute gem for seafood! I can see us doing this every night for a week! Many thanks for keeping us so well fed on holiday! All the best for the future! V&M

Had seen this little trailer on Google maps. Our first time in Northumberland, and we were determined to visit. Messaged the lovely chap who runs it on Instagram to make sure we got the right times and location, he confirmed he would be at Bamburgh. Arrived at 12... (Already saw other hungry visitors circling!) Had Lobster claws, the Bacon and scallop roll and scallops with toast and garlic. OH MY LORDY... it was delish. Just wish I had taken some pictures of it, but was in too much a hurry to tuck in. Please be there next year? (we have rebooked to stay in Alnmouth) got the feeling we may be following you around for the whole week!

For goodness sake don't tell anyone about this absolute gem of a seafood 'shack' we arrived off the beach after closing time and were served with truly memorable lobster and chips. Totally delicious. Great guy. Best wishes for the season ahead and a well deserved future

Amazing food - we had steak & scallops with fries & garlic butter. Delicious - would definitely recommend

We walked from Seahouses to Bamborough along the beach with the idea we'd go to this place for lunch, expecting to see a restaurant on the roadside. When we came across this trailer in a car park with a few picnic tables alongside, I felt pretty disappointed! I needn't have worried, the guy who owns the trailer is amazing. He has his catch of the day which he cooks and sells himself. Be prepared for a wait, maybe half an hour, but it is worth it! I had sole fillet in lemon and caper butter and my husband had scallops and bacon in a roll. There was lobster too. It was well-worth the 12km round trip walk, totally recommend going, but get there around 12.30 for a good choice from the menu as he sells out after around 1.30pm.

This is my first overseas visit after the pandemic; also a family visit after close to six years. The trip to Northumberland was a brief one but apart from the local sight-seeing, I think the meal we had here is one of the main highlights....

Well worth a detour but get here early. A very poular catering trailer selling top notch seafood. We enjoyed a hot lobster roll with fries, and monkfish wrapped in bacon in a roll. Not cheap but given the ingredients, excellent value.

Excellent seafood. Very friendly and relaxed location. We will definitely be back to try more from the excellent menu. 👌

Arrived at lunchtime with my 12 year old son. The gentleman on the kiosk immediately said we might have to wait as he had just taken a large order. It wasn't that busy, no-one standing, three picnic benches take. I asked how long and he...

We always eat here when in the area and are never disappointed. To complain about the speed of the service is unreasonable. This is a one man band, cooking everything fresh, to order. From time to time we have had to wait, but it's always...

Absolutely delicious seafood! We had the Hot Lobster Roll with fries, Seared Scallops on Toast and a couple of Languistines. Cooked perfectly and so very tasty.

Lovely stop at this tiny stall selling immaculately prepared seafood. Crab sandwiches, Scallop and bacon roll, "Fishy chips" and a couple of Gurnard fillets definitely made lunch time a treat for us

Delicious food eaten al fresco come rain or shine. Unusual fish combos such as prawn and chilli burger. Scrummy chips.

Visited lunchtime gorgeous food lobster and scallops from a roadside trailer wow chef excellent very friendly 😀 I really recommend this guy his food is fantastic. Thank you

Exceptional food much better than a well known restaurant in Bamburgh. Lobster was delicious and the three chargrilled scallops with garlic butter on toast were stunning. Even on a windy lunchtime sitting by the van and eating the food was a real culinary experience. Make...

What a brilliant place and what delicious food on offer, innovative, unique, simple and tasty. This was one of the best meals on our visit to the area,hot and tasty smoked haddock chips, perfectly cooked scallops, really different and they just nail it at Creel...

You wouldn’t expect food served out of trailer parked by the side of the road to be up to much but Creel & Reel show just how wrong you can be. The food was cooked fresh to order and was, quite honestly, superb. Lobster with...

Well what else can I say other than wow!... Okay I can write more... My mother in law mentioned this trailer and when I looked up the menu I was so excited to visit. I wanted to have some lobster this holiday and this is...

The scallops were delicious and are obviously the star of the show on that dish, however the little garlic breads were amazing too! My husband had the lobster which he loved. My favourite of the dishes (kind of unexpectedly for me as I love scallops...

We timed our explorations of the local area to make sure we were in Bamburgh when the van was open. This is a well-managed operation and the menu is quite extensive. I had a grilled half-lobster with garlic butter and chips: not cheap, but it...

We arrived looking for lunch only to find that Friday was evening opening... Should have checked. My bad... Amused ourselves in Seahouses and Bamburgh for a few hours. Returned after 5pm for delicious lobster and clams. Beautifully cooked, with the best chips! Sole and steak...

We are lovers of seafood,having seen that this little trailer had good reviews, we decided to call in. We both opted for lobster rolls and fries. What a treat ! The rolls were soft and the lobster was fresh and sweet, with tasty fries. Lovely...

I have to be careful here because I've written 2 reviews on Google and both of them have been removed. My assumption is the owner didn't like it and gets them all removed as there are no bad reviews on their Google page. I ate...

Fabulously tasty cooked to order seafood. Looks can be diseeving, as this looks like your average fast food van, but that is so far from the reality. Glorious local seafood cooked beautifully and presented in environmentally friendly containers. Definitely worth the effort to find and...

Finding Creel + Reel in Banburgh was one of the highlights of our visit. Exceptional seafood, freshly cooked onside, friendly service with a smile - we went back twice as the food was so nice. Being placed by the beach car park we enjoyed the...

Just wow. We bumped into this unexpectedly on the first full day of our holiday and went out of our way to call back twice later in the week. Brilliant brilliant fresh seafood, cooked quite simply to reveal the quality of ingredients. Over our three...

The food was superb. It brightened up a cold day. It is an outdoor shack but it provides high quality food and service. A lovely, unexpected, treat.

The best Lobster during our entire holiday we had here! Local and fresh with a delicious butter sauce! Friendly and fast service

Fantastic spot , and friendly service . The food was excellent and delicious - just right for a family lunch . Would recommend .

Just the best seafood!! Had a mixed box of shellfish, which was amazing, and such good value, also scallops on garlic toast and Korean squid. Too much really for two people, but couldn't resist, and so glad we didn't. The scallops and squid were cooked...

Relatives in Rothbury recommended this fabulous little spot. After a four mile hike we had scallop and bacon baps and fries cooked to order with good coffee from the adjacent coffee van. The scallop baps were really delicious and the fries light and crispy. Seated...

We were recommended by some friends who stayed in Bamburgh to visit this place and boy we were not disappointed. Fantastic fish and seafood freshly cooked to order.

Amazing freshly cooked sea food. We shared a selection of items from the menu including the Halibut special with fries and creamy leeks, the monkfish and chorizo skewer and wrap and scallops. All the food was freshly cooked to order from the van and we...

Thankfully was recommended Creel and Reel for lunch, looked forward to it for weeks and it was even more amazing than anticipated! Between us we had the monkfish and chorizo, scallops and langoustines. The food was all fresh, cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. In...

We came to Northumberland for a week and ate here twice, it was so good. On our last day we gave our boys (12 and 14) the choice of where to have our final meal and the decision was unanimous - back to Creel and...

Fabulous Fresh Seafood cooked to order. Great lunch sitting on picnic tables by the dunes. Cold drinks as well. Hand sanitiser provided too.

Great selection of dishes, amazingly well prepared. Will return when back in Bamburgh! Our family tried just about everything on the menu and would recommend it all!

Took a cottage in Bamburgh for a week and our end of the week plans worked round making sure we could get food from Creel & Reel. We took the food back to the cottage with a chilled bottle of wine. Both meals were outstanding...

This is our favourite stop off for a seafood treat lunch. We usually have the lobster ( in what ever form available on the day) and the scallops. Crisp freshly cooked fries and the freshest fish. It’s the best lobster around and the view of...

Seriously if you want seafood Creel & Reel is the place to go! We had the most amazing lunch (on more than 1 occasion), the lobster is mouthwatering and the scallops are to die for! The food of the best quality & is cooked perfectly....

Absolutely delicious! Such a great idea, restaurant quality seafood right in the middle of the gorgeous Dunes. The lobster brioche was so good I had it again the next day and the scallops on toast got a massive thumbs up too. This is not your...

Definitely quality we’ve never been disappointed. I’ve tried the crab sandwiches, teriyaki salmon and the king prawns but must say my absolute favourite has to be the seared scallops. My husband who is not a fan of seafood loves the steak.

extraordinarily good food perfectly cooked. Beautifil site in the Bamburgh dunes. Good food starts with good ingredients and these are first rate.

Both me and the hubby had the monkfish and chorizo skewer with a portion of fishy fries absolutely fabulous food😃

Something a bit different for a lunch stop very close to beach. Lovely & fresh. We had the monkfish and chorizo skewers. Looking forward to next visit to try something else.

Wow !!! I wish I lived closer !! Fantastic fresh seafood cooked to order. Restaurant quality sea food at a fraction of the price. Such an unbelievable find !! Can’t wait to return

We really enjoyed our trip to the trailer a few weekends ago. As locals we’ve exhausted all of the local eateries and I can honestly say this is the best seafood we’ve had on the coast. Chef is very friendly too, which always helps! We’ll...

I didn’t have a clue how big my crab sandwich was going to be, but at £8.80 I expected it to be substantial. Wrong. 2 slices of wholemeal bread cut into triangles & not exactly packed with crab & that was it. £17.60 for 2!...
