Longstone House Restaurant in Northumberland

Excellent srvice and lovely lunch (I had roast lamb). Other dishes were good as well by the family...................

Without a doubt this hotel serves the best Sunday lunch in the Seahouses area, and being local I have tried all of them in all seasons. The choice is excellent, the portions generous and the service excellent. The price is excellent for both the meals and the drinks. I know it's out of Seahouses in North Sunderland but it's well worth a stroll up the road. Thank you for everything today.

We had booked a few days before as we had the dog which is probably just as well as there only looked like 4 or 5 tables in the bar area. The tables were well spaced out. The food was pretty good (homemade chicken kiev, 2 steaks and a beef stew). The staff were friendly and efficient. Car park decent size too.

Received a warm welcome from the staff, shown to our table, drinks and food orders were taken straight away. Longstone Lighthouse is very famous for the heroine Grace Darling’s daring rescue rowing from the lighthouse in a coble with her father William to save 9 lives from a shipwreck on a stormy night. We toasted Grace as it was today, 7th September 1838, the brave deed took place. The food menu was very varied with fish, meat and vegetarian on offer, all freshly made. It was difficult to make a choice, we ordered crab and black pudding Scotch eggs for starters, extremely tasty and fresh. For mains we had pork, scampi, beer battered fish and a huge bowl of mussels. My fellow diner told them that they were the best mussels she had ever tasted and she’s had a few! Apparently they had received 3 compliments on the mussels that night! The dessert menu was a joy to read, sticky toffee pudding was top of our list. I would not hesitate in recommending this restaurant, it was a delight to eat there.

Lovey meal out. Team were brilliant and accepted us as a late booking. Menu was varied with good fish and vegetarian options. Good service and food really was very good.

Unimpressed and disappointed. High cost for basic , very small room . Cheap decor, clinical . No surfaces to put things. Awkward shower . Paltry toiletries. Sloping ceiling , hurt my head twice getting out of bed in attic room 3. No complimentary basket as promised. Tired looking furnishings as a whole in hotel. Garden nice. Good ok. Plastic noisy covering on mattress.

Saturday night in Seahouses, booked an hour before we arrived, on recommendation. Amazing food, very good prices and welcome (not just accepts!) dogs. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Excellent,fresh local food,well presented. Home made desserts.Wonderful friendly staff.Can truly recommend and well worth the walk.Lovely beer garden on a warm day|night too

We were a family of 6 who died on a Monday evening, and were delighted when our dog was allowed to join us, in the bar area rather than the restaurant. The bar area was well presented and suited us well A wide selection of starters were chosen, from mussels to a delicious fish chowder and some excellent potato skins. Portion sizes were large and well presented. Mains chosen included belly of pork, cod loin, mussels and fries, also beef stew. Portions were again plentiful and of top quality. We were all absolutely stuffed after sampling the desert menu! Prices were reasonable and drinks served to the table quickly. The staff were friendly and prompt - it did seem a bit quiet for them but 2 of our party ate there again later that week and standards were high again I really hope business picks up for this place, the restaurant and bar is part of a hotel, a 10 minute walk or so from Seahouses harbour. There is a car park on site too, dogs accommodated too.

Fabulous meal! Mussels for starters for me, my partner had the crab...both large portions and very tasty. Mains were cod with chorizo for me and lamb loin for my partner....absolutely perfectly cooked, full of flavour. Service was very good, the waitress was efficient, polite and very very busy. All in all couldn't fault it.

Sunday lunch, a rare treat to eat out but a holiday tradition. Visited Longstone previously and enjoyed drinks in the bar. It's a 15 minute walk from the centre of Seahouses or a few minutes drive. Menu offered pink beef, lamb or belly pork. Beef was not pink possibly as it was reheated, Yorkshire pudding was home made but overcooked and crusty. Veg was very overcooked, swede tasteless and watery, one roast potato per person! Watery carrots and green beans, disappointing 😞 lamb was full of garlic, pork was fatty and stuffing unpleasant. Just ok.

Be aware that despite the signs outside and information on the website, dinners are not available for non-residents Mon - Thu

I nearly avoided this place as it appeared as promoted on trip, very glad I didn’t. Excellent friendly but respectful service, very good choice of food. I had crab to start and cod loin as main, my husband had lamb, we both had bread and butter pudding. All beautifully cooked and tasty. Somewhat out of the main melee of Seahouses which was nice as town was busy. The hotel is clean and modern and dog friendly.

Visited last night with wife and dog, nice restaurant received a warm friendly welcome. The drinks order was promptly taken while we looked at the menu which had some different dishes available as we have found nearly every restaurant in Seahouses serves the same meals only the prices vary. I had the chicken Kiev on a bed of Caesar salad and the wife chose the mussels both meals were well presented and tasted lovely. To finish we shared a mixed berry Eton mess which proved to be a good decision. To sum up good food at reasonable prices well delivered would definitely return and recommend.

Fantastic group Sunday lunch. We booked a table for 10 & 4 dogs in the bar. Our table was ready on time & we were seated all together in the bar with water bowls already in place for the dogs. Bob was really welcoming & quick with drinks service. We had starters, mains & desserts & all were delicious. Food was served hot & quickly. Glowing reviews for the lamb & Yorkshire puddings! Lovely Eton mess puddings served in large glasses. Only feedback would be beef said served pink but was more medium/well done. Although still delicious.

Just reopened so decided to try. Great choice. Excellent service. Great food. Mussels in cider withe leak and bacon. Wow. Lamb rump with pan haggerty. Just the job. Lamb cooked to perfection. Well done. We will be back.

The hotel is in a lovely village and the room was spacious and comfortable. Vegan choices were a bit limited for evening meals, but breakfast was decent.

After many months of abstinence we finally decided to eat out, the Longstone was an excellent choice, twice. Wonderful food and friendly, efficient service. Sunday lunch today was superb, couldn’t recommend it enough

Lovely restaurant located in the hotel. They only accept advanced bookings so be sure to book in advance. We visited on a Thursday evening when they do an offer of 2 ribeye steaks and a bottle of wine for £27, excellent value. We opted for the normal menu and had delicious mussels with fries and chicken in a peppercorn sauce with crushed new potatoes, excellent. They appear to have a limited choice of wine so of the 2 options given we chose Pinot Grigio, which was very quaffable and great value at £15.95. No room for deserts, however from what we saw they look fabulous. Great service and the bill was a pleasant surprise too. Highly recommend.

Booked for Sunday lunch based on reviews here. Well worth going. Staff so pleasant and helpful and we felt quite at ease amidst all the requirements for Covid. Food was very good indeed with fresh vegetables and amazing Yorkshire puddings. Why can’t all places do them like the Longstone? I highly recommend you come here and leave the tourists queuing at all the other places in Seahouses. Thank you to all the staff.

Had two meals here and both were excellent and very good value for money. I would certainly eat here again and am considering a long weekend at the hotel itself at some point. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful.

Lovely meal, excellent service. We took advantage of the eat out to help out deal. There was a good selection of food on the menu. The restaurant felt very safe well spaced out. It was nice to venture out a short walk from the main centre of Seahouses which seemed very busy.

A gorgeous meal and excellent staff dining room was well spaced out. The garden around the car park is full of beautiful flowers and fruit and veg growing.

Called for last minute Sunday lunch while staying in the area. Good selection on the menu (I had the roast beef) Wine reasonably priced and not bad to drink. Bar is dog friendly but was packed. Left the dog at home and the four of us ate alone in the restaurant. Atmosphere a bit flat but it was late afternoon & would bet it was busy at lunchtime. Out of the way but worth a visit if you’re staying in the area

First time trying out this restaraunt. Steak night £22 for two rib eye steak meals with a bottle of red wine. The steak was to die for, the hand cut chips perfect. We will be back.

We ate here on a Sunday evening, in the bar area which is doggy friendly, we’d booked a table which was good because it was busy when we arrived. I ordered an extra Yorkshire pudding for our dog and we weren’t charged, which was a nice touch. This bar and restaurant is in easy walking distance if you’re staying at Springhill camp site

We stayed here for 5 nights along with our small dog. The hotel is excellent, the room very comfy, the staff are attentive and friendly.Breakfasts are delicious with plenty to eat, even the dog had a sausage every day. Evening meals are well prepared and very tasty, the bar is well served with beers, whiskeys, and gins.We thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Stayed one night here. £80. Good price. Room more than basic. Nice touches. Toiletries v nice. Smart telly good Wi-fi. Ate supper (tasty well cooked; mean with portions of ) breakfast nice. Sooo much better if there was decent bread eg sour dough. Nonetheless poached eggs good local kippers v good. No low fat yogurt n kinda ‘tinned’ fruit. Bit rubbish that. Cereal all a bit 1980s. BUT the staff are gorgeous so kind helpful chatty. Environment lovely bright clean and again nice touches.

We used to dine there many years ago but it has been closed for some years. We were delighted to discover that it has been completely refurbished and is now family run. We went on the steak night to try it out and what a fine meal we had. Two large rib-eye steaks mine rare, wifes medium, both cooked perfectly. Side veg and onion rings v.good and a bottle of decent red included. What a bargain, all for just over 20 quid!! We will return.

Nice restaurant with good food and friendly staff and well-priced. Good service and well worth a visit if in the area.

Had Sunday lunch here and found it to be really good. We each ate different food, one roast beef, one lamb shank and one sea bass. All were delicious and freshly prepared. All were served with appropriate accompanying vegetables. This is well worth going the extra mile out of Seahouses. There is also a good outside garden and food can be taken there, the restaurant or the bar.

We had a meal in the restaurant on the first evening of our break The welcome and the food where both excellent the service and attentive staff were friendly and helpful We thought we had left my son's glasses behind and the staff were most helpful in our search We found them eventually at the cottage before we left

The hotel is across the road from where we are staying so we decided to book a table. The hotel caters for non-residents. They allow dogs in the bar area, just not in the main restaurant.Food choices we good.I had breaded mushrooms in a throw back to the 90s which were yummy , followed by steak and ale pie, choosing to have extra veg rather than mash or chips. My husband went for scallops followed by lasagne, and out son had mozzarella sticks followed by a mozzarella burger (don't ask). We all thoroughly enjoyed our food.The staff were friendly and attentive and there was a reasonable beer / lager selection available.

Moderado, correcto. No cambian sabanas en los dias de estancia (4) y de malas maneras el checkout nos permitieron salir 1/2h tarde, amenazando de cobrarnos suplemento.

We ate here nearly every night. The food was fabulous. We particularly enjoyed the Chicken Supreme and the Lemon Posset. The service was excellent.

Called as in the area food was very very good and really well presented will be going later in the week for exceptional value steak night

Because it's a little way out of Seahouses we wouldn't have known about it without Trip Advisor but we're glad we found it. We had a very friendly welcome & had a nice table in the bar by the window. I had lasagne & my husband had pie both meals were delicious & very generous portions. I was too full for a pudding but the portions looked huge. A very good find thank you.

Went with my husband and our good friends and had a lovely meal with excellent friendly service. Everything was nicely cooked , well presented and served in generous portions. Will definitely be back !!!

The Longstone was recommended by a friendly fellow camper ( Thanks for that Mate) The staff immediately made us welcome and settled us down in a window seat with the dog say at the side of us. I decide to go for my normal pie and chips whilst my wife went for the fish and chips. But you know that Marks and Spencer food advert on telly where they ramble on about "It's not just fish and chips, it's M&S; fish and chips... Well believe you me, you ain't had proper food till you've tried Longstone food... It's absolutely delicious, and the portions are nothing to laugh at either! Good job we had Jazz the dog with us. Well done the chef... He's a magican, and the staff were lovely particularly the barman who replaced a half lager which I accidentally knocked over. Nearly drowned the dog. We enjoyed the evening so much we came back for the steak night and that was just as good. A little out of Seahouses but really well worth the trip.

Visited with friends on Thursday with friends for the steak night. The steaks were cooked to perfection very tasty, we also had a side order of onion rings which were very moreish washed down with a nice Merlot very good value for £22 a couple. There is also a quiz on at 9.30 every Thursday which is very popular with locals and visitors.

We walked far to reach this restaurant- much further than trip advisor suggested. The place was welcoming and tried hard. Unfortunately the food was a let down and didn’t live up to our expectations from the stunning pictures of seafood and the good comments that had been left. A real shame because I’d rather not be offered seafood or fish from the coast if it’s frozen.

We ate here on a Wednesday which, in addition to the a la carte menu, is a ‘who ate all the pies night’. There was a choice of pies on offer (including vegetarian option) with a pint of ale, lager or real ale or a glass of wine or soft drink for £11. We both had steak and ale pie which was delicious and served piping hot - portions were very generous. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we had a lovely evening in very pleasant surroundings. We will definitely return to enjoy their a la carte menu in the near future. Thank you

We were a family of 7 adults. Everyone's meal was superb.

Visited the longstone twice now and never been

This was by far my favourite meal from our time in Northumbria. I had the pan fried seabass ,which was served with buttered Samphire and sugar snap peas,on a bed of cauliflower mash.The flavours were gorgeous,particularly the samphire.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here 100% recommend. We stayed overnight and after studying the menu had no need to walk into Seahouses to eat. Bar prices reasonable too.

Stopped here with friends and we all had fish from the quite extensive menu. Two of us having the sea bass and two having the fish and chips, which was fantastic. But beware, the portions are huge !

Excellent Restaurant! Moretti was Magnificent (Larger) Food was Fabulous (Brie Starter, Burger) Dylan was Delightful (Our Waiter) Will be back👏👍

My husband and I took a ride out on a Saturday and came across this lovely place ! I had the mussels which were gorgeous and plenty of them and my husband had a burger fabulous food very helpful staff and a very welcoming place to go. I can’t wait to visit again

I went with my friend to try the steak night and we were not disappointed. Friendly staff, fabulous food and very nice Merlot, coupled with excellent and very yummy deserts made this a great night out. The waiter Dylan, couldn't do enough to ensure we had a good time and Lyndsey (management team) showed us an accessible room which was lovely. I would certainly expect to see more people there as it is definitely an improvement on another steak night held locally!! Friendly but not overbearing staff, fabulous steaks cooked exactly as requested and an excellent bottle of wine - watch this space cos we're definitely coming back.

What an absolute gem! We come to Seahouses every year, sometimes visiting 2-3 times per year and on our annual October visit we decided to try the Longstone House Restaurant, it was steak night and everything was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is perfect for a quiet and intimate meal, the staff are attentive without being too intrusive and the temperature of the restaurant is just right for eating in comfort. We will certainly make this place a regular eatery on our visits to Seahouses and congratulate the management on a beautifully decorated and well organised establishment. (Would love to know where the mixed olives are from too? Delicious)

Came here when they had steak night on that is ribeye steak with chips and a bottle of wine for 2 people for £22 you pay extra for mushrooms tomatoes and any sauces prices range from £2 to £2.50.The food was perfect and staff were friendly and attentive.The restaurant is decorated lovely,when we are in the area again we would dine again here.The menu was quite extensive with a good choice.

This hotel is a wonderful surprise. Cosy co for table and well equipped and serviced. Staff were most helpful, breakfSy very filling and the beds extremely comfortable. Trevor have great reliable advice.would recommend this hotel highly.

We happened upon this lovely family run hotel on our way back to our campsite from Seahouses.

What a lovely place that we found by accident. Lovely clean well appointed and presented rooms, accommodating and friendly staff and wonderful food both in the restaurant and the breakfast. We will be coming back.

Ate at the restaurant on our last night in Seahouses, it was great.

Excellent stay. Room very clean and extremely comfortable.10 minute walk into seahouses .Large car park for patrons.Trevor and all his staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a bar and a restaurant providing excellent food and local real ale. The breakfast served to your preferences with unlimited tea/coffee.The tea tray in the restocked every.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Longstone House and WILL BE returning in the new year.

We were recommended to the restaurant here by our accommodation and were not disappointed. It seemed a bit quieter than most of the other restaurants in the town, most of which were filled with families and children.

A lovely sized restaurant. Plenty of choice on the menu, food cooked really well. Also have a children's menu. Staff very friendly.

This place has been derelict for many years and now it's back in all its glory. Lots of time and effort has been put into this place, still bits to do, but it's just a matter of time.

Called in here a couple of times for a drink and were very impressed with the welcome and the style of the bar, so decided to give it a try last week for Sunday lunch. We found the menu a bit limited, only one choice of roast, beef. We decided on the slow cooked Blade of beef instead having heard some one praise it the week before. It was cooked perfectly and delicious, the veg was very nice also, on a personal note I was a bit disappointed with only roast potatoes, I prefer boiled new or mashed potatoes as well. All in all a very nice Sunday lunch, I think a bit pricey for what is a very cheap cut of meat. We had no children with us, but be warned the children's menu is £10, a bit pricey for a drink, sausage and chips and an ice cream. Nice place to call into for a drink, especially on a nice day to sit outside.

We have now eaten in the restaurant when staying at the hotel at least 3 times so have given it a good test before reviewing! Delicious food, freshly prepared every time, 5* standard! I am gluten and lactose intolerant and so helpfully gluten and dairy free choices are marked on the menu, so fantastic not to have to feel awkward or like a burden checking! They even made gluten and lactose free Yorkshire Puddings for me... luxury!!! Great choice of drinks available, for e.g. lots of gins to choose from. Cosy bar area adjoining the restaurant for pre or post dinner drinks. Friendly staff, can't fault it, will be back!!

I recommend Longstone House for anyone staying at Megstone House B&B; opposite. The decor is fresh and the ambience relaxing. Staff courteous and food delicious and well presented.

We went with friends and the biggest criticism is the portion size. Slow cooked feather blade of beef was fantastic but only came with hand cut chips. At £15 for a cheap cut of meat, I do think it could've came with vegetables. This cost an extra £2 making it £17 for the main course. The ladies opted for a vegetarian option of brie wellington which resembled a cheese pasty. Again a small portion. An expensive restaurant for Seahouses!

lovley meal steak cooked to perfection with a nice glass of wine very friendly waitress the hotel is very clean throughout

Staying in nearby Beadnell we stumbled across this fantastic restaurant whilst venturing into seahouses with our 3year old and 5year old. The bar and restaurant had recently been refurbished and combines the modern and traditional perfectly,there was also a lovely private beer garden. It was a pleasure to receive a genuine family friendly welcome and not feel like our children were an imposition. The food and service was exceptional, good level of choice on menu for adults and children, I enjoyed a beautiful rump steak with garlic butter,my wife loved her chicken on bed of crushed new potatoes and the children's food was all freshly cooked and good quality. We will definitely be going back for another evening meal in the future and also keen to try the highly recommended Sunday lunch they serve.

We went here for a meal, my husband and I.

This property has recently been renovated to quite a modern standard.

Stayed here for one night on a trip out to seahouses. Despite not being open long this is a well presented and very nice place to stay and eat. B&B; was very reasonable, best bet is to call direct rather than going via booking.com etc. Town centre is approximately 10 minutes walk away.

Stayed at Longstone House with my wife for our anniversary. We had never been before so were unsure what it would be like. To say we were pleasantly surprised would be an understatement.

We were delighted to see that this Hotel and restaurant had opened after being closed for a lot of years. The refurbishment is stunning now and what was years ago a rather tired pub is a very chic Restaurant and Hotel. We are local and called in for lunch today which was very enjoyable with freshly cooked food, a good choice and, a bit of a novelty nowadays, cooked to order. I liked the fact that you can have any of the starters as main courses or just a starter portion as a snack. I like this as I can't manage two big courses at lunchtime. The fish was fresh with lovely crisp batter. In this fishing village it isn't always the case that fish will be good with light batter - we have had awful fish and chips from local seafood restaurants in the past. We will certainly visit again soon and it will be on our list of good places to eat from now on.

We visit Seahouses frequently and noticed last time we were here that this hotel had re-opened. Popped in for a pint this evening to check it out. Lovely ambience and really good beer at a reasonable price for this area. Will return to try the food, and certainly for drinks again.

A very welcome and overdue reopening for an old favourite. Popped in for a drink last week and was impressed enough to book lunch for today. Beautifully redecorated and boasting a fine range of beers and lagers, the cool and shady bar area offered respite from what had turned out to be a bit of a scorcher. A warm welcome from an obviously well trained staff carried us through to our table in the spacious conservatory. Our drinks appeared within moments and were shortly followed by a delicious roast beef lunch. The meat cooked to perfection and a good variety of vegetables to accompany. I noticed that there were two vegetarian options available if required.The waitresses and our hostess were pleasant and attentive throughout and I was pleased to see that there was a good proportion of local people dining as well as some visitors to the area.. The dining room has several sections to it and the tables nicely spaced to allow for some privacy. A very enjoyable visit all round and we will be strolling up there again to enjoy the beer garden on a sunny evening especially as the evening menu also looked well worth a visit!

After finding the hotel, which is tucked nicely away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour, but not too far, we ended up having a three course meal, all of which was delicious! Kids loved the pork burger which was made fresh to order, seafood was all good and would certainly recommend the lamb cutlets and sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely return! Lovely surroundings and friendly staff.
