Radcliffes Cafe Bar in Northumberland

We had breakfast here due to other cafes being busy or closed. The food was good quality, but a wee bit expensive. I think cafes have increased prices slightly due to Covid. The area is also on the rise, so more visitors means more demand.We had 3 cooked breakfasts. As I said, food quality was good.We walked past at night and it was half full. Beer was £4-5 per pint. It was mainly German beer.

We visit northumberland as often as we can and that always includes a visit to radcliffes. Can't fault the lovely friendly staff, most excellent service and perfectly cooked and tasty food. The smashed avocado with poached eggs is the best I've ever had and the cheese scones are you die for. The labrador always gets a fuss and a treat too. We will be back!

Excellent brunch , had full English which was really tasty . Always an excellent welcome for two and four legged guests we love both the food and beer here

Called in here for breakfast last November whilst staying at a holiday cottage and it was just before 11am on Remembrance Sunday. Walked in, music was playing and it seemed quite nice. Got a table and our drinks came quickly. I then decided to go outside to pay my respects where it was quiet for the 2 minutes silence as it was just about 11am. As soon as I sat down a member of staff rushed outside after me and asked if everything was ok. I explained that I was observing the 2 minutes silence and she went back in. I stayed outside for a while listening to the service that was gathered in the square then went back in. My food was waiting and it was really good. I don't think this place realised it was Remembrance Sunday despite all of the people outside because I asked my wife if the music had been turned off for the 2 minutes and it had not. Hopefully this was just a one off and next time they will do their bit and show some respect like I and everybody else did...

We called into Amble to look at the weekly market and walked past this from the carpark. Since every other eating place and stalls seemed to have queues we decided to pop in on the way back to our car and was very pleased that we did.Nice decor, friendly greeting. I had a bacon panini and dirty fries and my daughter had a BLT. Both portions were generous so much so neither of us could finish which was a shame as the food was delicious. We didn't have a dog but they are dog friendly and give them not just bowls of water but even doggie treats.Prices were pretty standard so no complaints as we got our moneys worth for sure.

Went for breakfast. Staff talked down to me and neither cracked a smile; when I questioned my dish, I was bluntly "corrected". Food average. I won't be going back.

Warm welcome & excellent service. Very good food : extremely relieved to find they offer a GLUTEN FREE option

Called here a couple of times during our stay in Amble. Excellent service and great food and drink. Sat outside twice and once inside with our dogs who were welcomed. Highly recommended

Called in today ,glad we did had a lovely bratwurst with skinny fries it were grand ,staff were lovely and friendly ,dont pass it by well worth the visit ,and the beers very good aswell .

A very Dog friendly place. Lovely sun trap outside with nice decor. Some lovely staff & decent food. Will be back when next in Amble.

Service and staff excellent very dog friendly if you are in amble it's worth a visit, and the first Cafe that served your coffee in a cup, there is a cafe around the corner and they served everything in paper cups and plastic plates so didn't go there.

What an amazing place this is . Friendly yet efficient service. Splendid food....in fact the best smashed avocado and poached eggs I have ever had.... and I've had quite a few! Husband had a most excellent sausage sandwich made with proper sausages in 2 thick slabs of whitebread not a cheap fluffy roll. Spotlessly clean and very dog friendly. We will be back when next in the area

Visited today with friends for coffee and bacon sarnies, great bacon in thick slices of delicious crusty bread, faultless. Quick friendly service would highly recommend..

It was a rainy day and we couldn’t find anywhere to eat inside for lunch unless we’d booked. We came across this little gem of a place as a last resort. We received friendly and helpful service. We chose the Menabrea Italian lager and two bradwurst and chips. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of this lovely place. So glad we gave it a try.

We called in for a quick bite to eat while we were in Amble. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was lovely (we had Bratwurst, Currywurst and a child's sausages) and it came quickly. We are fussy due to Covid, but we felt relaxed as the tables were well-spaced and clean. Thank you!

Lovely freshly cooked breakfast with great choice. Made us & dog feel welcome. Loads of treats & fresh water available. Staff were very efficient & friendly. Called back next day had the club sandwich & German sausage

We found this on our first day exploring Amble and what a find it was! The sun was shining and so we sat outside, shared some delicious wine, and dined on currywurst, dirty fries and Cajun chicken sandwich, absolutely delicious! Very dog friendly too, inside and out. The staff are so friendly. Lovely place!

It was a quick pop in to catch up with a friend. Cocktails were delicious and we had a small bite which was excellent. Service was very attentive.

Lovely friendly service. Great location and the most fantastic breakfast (avocado and bacon on sourdough) to start the day.

Having been VERY badly let down by a nearby cafe (booking made weeks ago for breakfast, turn up in pouring rain to find cafe closed, send FB message, get message back from proprietor to say they'd had 'issues in the cafe over the weekend'...thanks for the heads up guys... ) I desperately phoned around to see where else was available for breakfast. I had visitors up from the other end of the country along with two small children who took shelter by the pods while I frantically googled to see who did breakfast locally. I contacted Radcliffes who answered the phone almost immediately and confirmed they did do breakfast and had some tables available.The atmosphere on arrival was lovely. Friendly staff, nice decor, definite happy buzz around the place. We were served by a really nice guy and all our breakfasts were brilliant. Hardly any waiting at all.The general concensus was that we wished we'd booked Radcliffes in the first place. Great place, massive thumbs up from me, my kids, and my friends

This is a little gem close to the delightful harbour area in Amble.The menu is spot on and we had breakfast which was delicious. The mushroom was the best we’ve ever had! Service is excellent and staff are polite, friendly but very professional. It has a good vibe at any time of day and in the evening we had drinks.Would definitely recommend as a place to eat and drink for meeting friends, as a couple or as a family.

Ate here twice in our weeks holiday in Amble. Once for breakfast once for lunch. Full English breakfast was delicious and the smashed avocado was just as good. For lunch the sandwiches looked delicious (daughter had pastrami and emmental ) the bratwurst and chips was filling and very good and my wife had a beetroot and feta salad. Highly recommended.

Visited for drinks only. Table service continental style. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good selection of continental beers. Zot on draft!!! Kwak served in the proper glass. An amazing list of different gins. Fevertree tonics. It would be nice to return during the day and try the food too.

Stopped off here for a few drinks, good choice of beers, staff very friendly and the food they was bringing out looked amazing.

Had a pulled pork sandwich with fries. Absolutely delicious. Nice glass of prosecco here last night too.

We are fortunate to live 2 minutes away from Radcliffe’s Café Bar! But this doesn’t mean that I can’t write a review (I tend to only write them when I’m on holiday!). The food, drinks, service and atmosphere here are all excellent. The owners pride themselves in offering a friendly, welcoming service to its customers, both local and visitors. Breakfasts are delicious - I highly recommend the avocado and poached eggs on toast. They also offer a good range of deli sandwiches with fries and also German style sausages. And they are hoping to extend their menu soon. They also serve wonderful coffees (the coffee is locally roasted in Amble) and locally baked cakes and scones. And as this is a café bar, let’s not forget to mention the great alcoholic drinks on offer. Radcliffe’s likes to offer beers that you don’t see in every pub. So, they serve a range of continental beers (such as an Italian lager, a dark German beer and a strong Belgian beer). There is also a wide range of gins on offer, as well as wines, ciders and other spirits. The decor inside is modern and welcoming and there is also a large seating area outside that is a sun trap during the day! I highly recommend a visit to Radcliffe’s Café Bar. You won’t be disappointed!

Called into Radcliffes cafe bar for some lunch, after being shown to our seat we waited around 10 minutes before we were given our menus, then we waited another 10/15 minutes for the waiter/waitress to take our order ( we had to ask for her to take our order ) after ordering our food we waited another 30 minutes for our sausage sandwiches and kids fish fingers and chips to arrive, The food made up for the slow service. The waiter was running around while the waitress on the door was just mulling around and seemed annoyed when asked to work

Great service, well spaced out, informed of the short wait (20mins) and service was quicker. Great food, lovely Bratwurst...

We'd planned to have fish and chips, as per the Amble tradition, but all the places were rammed and by chance we found Radcliffes Cafe Bar. A limited sandwich/fries menu, but ohh, what sandwiches. My wife had the simple bacon sandwich and I had a bacon brie and cranberry sandwich. Mine came with a generous amount of fries/chips while my wife had sweet potato fries. The sandwiches were jus unbelievable; I've never seen so much bacon on a sandwich even when I've made it myself! Strongly to be recommended. It has to be said the service was a bit slow but I have no idea if that is typical: the waitress did say she'd been demonstrating the making of the Radcliffe Club sandwich, so it's possible there are new staff in the kitchen, hence the slowness. But forgiven!

2 visits in 4 days but more to come both inside and out. Covid-19 regs compliant to high standard. Excellent service and toilet cleanliness exemplary on both visits. Card payment only at present.Now to the five star points- Martin who served us on both occasions was a very amiable young man and an expert in customer service! eg while serving an elderly gentleman he organised a wee bag for the cake he couldn’t finish as it was a huge slice. Then when the man produced cash for his coffee and cake Martin did not mention the card only policy and accepted the man’s cash and did not embarrass him. Bless you and well done

Initially underwhelmed by building and decoration. However, the quality of the food was fabulous. Toasted sanwiches bacon brie and cranberry- a load of bacon who can ask for more! Cajun Chicken had just the right amount of spice. Would happily recommend.

Just had breakfast at Radcliffes my wife had a bacon butty which was really good unfortunately I chose bratwurst which arrived on stale bread both breakfasts arrived with luke warm tea and not given the option of milk. We paid £18 for a totally rubbish breakfast!!!

We sat outside in the sun this morning and had coffee 👍👍👍👍😎 coffee great👍 Service excellent. Free parking on site Prices okay

After months of lockdown I couldn’t think of a better place to start I had the curry wurst with a bottle of the florid mango

We called for coffee and cake on a rainy Tuesday morning. Lovely hot cappacinos and a yummy slice of carrot cake. Plus a sausage for the dog. Great service and a really nice touch

We ate here for breakfast as Radcliffes is next to where we were staying. Very friendly service. I had the breakfast stack and Sarah had the griddled cheese scone with poached eggs and bacon. Both really good. Coffee also excellent. Dog friendly place so would recommend for breakfast if you are visiting Amble Sunday Market

This has become our regular drink stop when we visit Amble Market. Coffee is very good and the cheese scones are the best in Amble. Staff are very friendly. Good COVID-19 safety guidelines in place.

We visited twice during our week long stay at Coble Quay in Amble, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both meals were fantastic, but an extra special shout-out for the chicken wrap, it was amazing. Great service, great hygiene, great food. Cannot wait until they can start returning to their full menu ❤️

Enjoyed a quick visit for breakfast which we very much enjoyed as a curtain raiser for a walk around the market

Stopped here for lunch. Very good with Covid security. Details was taken & everything was very clean with sanitiser at the door. Lunch menu choices would seem limited to some people but what choice they had was good & catered for veggies too. The quality of the choices was excellent. My grandson is a Maccy D boy when it comes to burgers. His mind was soon changed when eating here. The 10 year old said it was the best burger he'd ever eaten. Food was cooked to perfection & was very tasty. Service was excellent, presentation of the food was very good & the portions were plentiful. Great value for money too

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, didn’t have any food, just a few drinks in sunshine , staff really friendly and helpful, also knowledgeable about the various drinks on offer. Relaxed atmosphere would definitely visit again, extensive drinks menu if you like beer/gin and wine

Met a group of friends for coffee & fantastic breakfasts; staff were friendly & polite, with fast service & a smile ❤️

Something a little different. Breakfast stack was delicious and pancakes to die for. Will definitely be back to try lunch menu. Staff could be a little more friendly.

Had the tapas which 3 of us shared, each picking one dish. Very pleasant young waitress and good menu choices. Limited parking but plenty on nearby streets. Nice coffees too.Excellent place for lunch which we all enjoyed in a nicely decorated restaurant.Would certainly return if I'm the area.

The vision of the owners, to create a European style bar, inspired us to go in and sample the atmosphere and a drink. Regrettably, surly service at the bar and a reasonably naff ‘80s playlist did not create the vibe we expected. No sign of tapas, nothing more than a slightly down at heel Northumberland bar. Very expensive drinks too £5.60 for a pint would even have London customers wincing!If the owners’ dream of creating something attractive and European is genuine then they need to be present and visible so that this is delivered....and then they can inspire the staff to do similar. What a disappointment. Huge potential but no visible leadership to deliver.

Wow!!! What can we say !! We heard about Radcliffes from friends that had been and told us it was a must visit!! They were not wrong. We were greeted by such pleasant staff who couldn’t help us anymore if they tried!! The place itself was spotless and the toilets too!! We went in for some lunch and ended up picking from the tapas menu!! So much choice for the whole family. The cakes, scones & croissants displayed were fresh and beautiful looking. The food was to die for and the kids loved it they had burgers!! . We will recommend this place to all of our friends and can’t wait to come and sit outside in the summer with all that space and just a small walk away from the beach!! Radcliffes is well in our top 10!!

This was one of our most enjoyable and exciting restaurants in Amble. We always looked forward to going back with their exciting menu and cakes to die for. Last week we found an excuse to go back, first for a number of weeks and Oh dear, what has happened. The menu is only a small subset of what it was, the cakes have vanished and all they had were scones, the quality really wasn't as good as last year. In fact the only thing that hasn't slipped are the prices. It was worth paying top prices for an exciting menu and excellent quality but now .... Maybe by streamlining they can cut cuts while maintaining the income but for us personally, we won't be going back I'm afraid.

We visited Radcliffes last night and weren’t disappointed. We were greeted by the friendly staff and were made to feel very welcome. We had tapas which were absolutely phenomenal! Couldn’t fault any of the dishes! Very tasty and a fabulous variety to choose off the menu. We also really liked the layout and decor of the restaurant. Looks like it would be beautiful to sit out during the summer. We will definitely back!!! Highly recommend! Thank you for also adding a personal touch for our anniversary.

If your looking for cheap drinks this isnt the place for you ...12 quid for white wine and a lager ...dont get me wrong place is nice and well decor and warm and dog friendly ..never had food from there but expect to pay top dollar for in amble ???...schooner and harbour inn cheap oppisite .

Visited a couple of weeks ago to try had a nice cup of coffee and a slice of carrot cake which to be honest I would not of fed my dog with i found it very dry and the filling is usually cream cheese but this was butter cream to put it as polite as I can it was disgusting my friend had a coffee and a scone that was dry and for some reason some idiot decided to put sugar on the top no scone we have ever had has never had sugar on the top the place is lovley but the cake and scones not good will try again sometime but only if I am passing

Visited today with friends travelled from Rothbury. Everything was fine apart from the fruit scones which were awfully dry and were very sweet with what appeared to be sugar on the top. The location and the cafe it’s self was beautiful but the food today not so beautiful. I would not be returning unfortunately.

Popped in for a coffee with a friend, coffee was nice but cup filled to just over half way!! Decided to have a chocolate brownie, I paid for it and was told it would be brought to the table. After ten minutes wait I went to see what had happened. I said I was waiting for the chocolate brownie and the girl behind the bar was going to charge me again for the brownie. I explained I'd already paid and once again said she'd bring it across. I declined and said I'd take it there and now. The actual brownie was dry and sickly, the topping appeared to be salted caramel, it was far to salty and inedible.

Great food ,good service and something a bit different for breakfast. My family really enjoyed it. We will certainly come back again when we are in Amble.

Friendly staff, dogs welcome and doggy treats at hand. Plus they sell draught Zot from Brugge! We had a nice lunch sharing a couple of starters with some fries, all very nice.

What an absolute gem, we stumbled across this place and it was . Clean, warm, welcoming and food is delicious for a good price

Excellent place for a meal and good atmosphere, and most importantly for us it is very dog friendly. We have been here four or fives times now, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Visited several times during our stay in Amble. Lovely brunch and coffee. Very dog friendly which is really important for us . Friendly staff ,great customer service. Can't wait to return.

Great fries, surprisingly delicious crepes and beautiful Belgium beers. It is slightly pricey though but I would come back.

We stumbled across Radcliffe’s on a visit to Amble. What a breath of fresh air.

My husband and I stopped by for a drink sitting out in the sun with our little dog. We only had drinks so can’t comment on food however the menu looked great. Lovely bar with great outside area, it’s nice to see so many businesses thriving in Amble.

We'd had two evenings of rich, high end meals that we'd enjoyed but come Sunday evening we wanted something simpler. Radcliffe's met our requirement. Bratwurst and chips for three with beer. All good.

Lovely bar which we frequented during our stay in Amble but couldn't get a cocktail during the week...weekends only...come on Radcliffes you could do better...🤔

All I am really going to say is that I had the best burger that i have eaten in a long time! And the god children (when asked their favourite part of the holiday) said tha5 going to Radcliffes was! The bratwurst and pulled chicken flatbread also come highly recommended too! Definitely adding to my list of favourite places in amble!

We stumbled upon this place whilst escaping the rain in Amble with the kids and dog.

Spent a lovely sunny afternoon sitting outside the bar having some great beer and g and ts with our friends from London who were duly impressed. A good atmosphere.

We don't visit Amble often and had not noticed this establishment previously. The outside seating caught our eye. Not the most comfortable as there were no back rests on the benches but it was not a long stay.

Had high hopes for lunch here but sadly the food failed to impress today. Nice place though - looks quality!

We were spending the day visiting places down the coast and having started up towards Holy Island we'd ended up in Amble around lunchtime. We found Radcliffes purely by accident while walking around.

We popped into the Radcliffe Cafe Bar, not the cheapest place to drink that’s for sure. But lovely ambience, interesting choice of different beers, most definitely not Punch Taverns beers.

I was really looking forward to visiting here today.

Called in for lunch and really impressed. Excellent beers, and I had a vegan flatbread with roasted veg which was very tasty. Staff are friendly, and if we'd found it earlier in our week's stay in Amble we'd have visited several times.

Came to the beach and we were peckish after a long walk. Searched on trip advisors for dog friendly places and Radcliffe’s didn’t disappoint. Very good look restaurant, and the food is different. The burger was lovely and the flatbread was full.

Mr sister and I had coffee and scones here yesterday and were very impressed, so today when we needed somewhere that was dog and wheelchair friendly we came back for lunch.

We are locals and called in to see what it was like. Very happy. Nice decor, friendly atmosphere, pristine toilets. Tea came with a little biscuit which was nice. Food was delicious (Breakfast stack and Avocado stack with salmon) which looked small on the plate but was just right. Will be back. PS you can just go in for a coffee/tea/beer which is great in Amble

Absolutely delicious lunch. Had the best cappuccino all week in Amble, even better than Spurelli's next door which is good BTW. The coffee came with an ace choc chip biscuit. A good omen for lunch to come. Lots of original choices with Germanic twist. But opted for fish finger sandwich which was simply the best I've ever eaten. Lovely fresh brown bread with gorgeous home made fish fingers. Exquisitely fresh fish. Accompanied with vegetable crisps and a good salad. This description doesn't do justice. Then I had a half of Belgium blond beer on tap. That really was the proverbial icing on the cake.

We visited today and although I don’t review many places I feel compelled to let other people know what a gem this place is. From the nice hello when we arrived, to the service and ambience and the fab food, everything about this place was great. We ordered crab sandwiches for hubby and fish finger sandwiches for me. The food was beautifully presented with hand made crisps and side salad in soft whole meal, hand cut bread. I feel that a lot of care was taken in creating the menu. We enjoyed our food and the price we paid was well worth it. We will definitely visit again. Well done to the management and staff.

Visited several times during our holiday in May along with Brian our Border Collie mostly in the morning in the middle of his walks! We had a few breakfasts and coffee along with a few beers on a couple of afternoons. Loved the interior, the staff were friendly and food was delicious. Best flat white coffees served in fab crockery.

Called in for lunch as we thought the menu outside was quite different from the normal fish and chips type fare. There were no staff around when we went in and we sat for ages until someone appeared at the bar. The lack of greeting and feeling of being ignored was not a good first impression. We placed our order for crab sandwich and bratwurst with fries and got our drinks. The coffee was lovely. The crab sandwich was huge,served in doorstep slices of crusty brown bread. It was very rich with a lot of dark meat rather than white and I couldn't finish it. A smaller portion at a lower price would be better as £9.95 is pricey for a sandwich. The bratwurst was very nice though.

Four of us called in for a drink last week. The place is done out very nicely indeed, good bar selection and atmosphere, a little more expensive than elsewhere.

10 hungry cyclists dropped in for lunch without booking, and we were amazed at the speed in which we were served. The food was great, and the service exceptional. Thanks for filling up our water bottles too.

Yes i had a nice capachino but one of my friends did not get milkfor coffee and my wife did not get milk for her tea they were given milk when asked. Please smile when serving your customers it helps.

Not been there in the evening, but have regularly visited it with our dog for afternoon coffees which are ground in the village. Gluten free cakes are excellent as well.

What a wonderful find this pub/cafe was . The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We were lucky enough to get a seat outside but they could do with a few more seats . We will come back .

Visited for a bank holiday lunch had a really refreshing Italian beer and ordered a couple of German frankfurters and an order of whitebait with fries. Absolutely delicious and clearly cooked to order. A shame the place wasn’t serving evening meals when we visited however lovely venue and location with friendly service.

Visited numerous times, always great service, good choice of wine, gin & beer, dog friendly, welcome edition to Amble

We are here last night with friends and the food was fabulous. Fish cakes full of crab and burgers outstanding. Fries crisp and hot. Will be back!

Popped In here today with the dog to shelter from the rain. What a lovely place.....better than a cafe....great as a Bar and great for a snack or meal.

Just had a lovely lunch here. Quite a surprise to find a German themed bar in Amble. Good choice on the menu and price not too bad for what you get. As we only live up the road from Amble I'm sure we'll be back.

Popped in for a drink while wondering around Amble. Its a bit pricey but the beer was good. I had a pint of Hofbrau Dunkel.

Looked for some lunch in Amble and came upon this place.

Called in here after a day visit to Amble. Warm welcome and good selection of meals. Would recommend the fish and chips.

Called in over lunch time. Was able to take our dog in which was an advantage. Nice atmosphere to the bar, clean and airy, staff very friendly and helpful. Ordered a crepe from the menu which was delicious, and there was also gluten free muffins available - which was also delicious. Coffee was good too. Looking forward to going back in the summer and taking full advantage of the outside seating area and sampling the wonderful selection of gins available. Hope this little bar has all the success it deserves.

Nice staff and presentable food but the visit was spoiled for me when a couple arrived with two dogs in tow. Both disappeared in to the toilets, each taking a dog with them which is a step too far for me. I get it that a large percentage of the population are dog owners and businesses such as this want to attract their custom but a greater percentage of the population are not, many of whom find that being forced to share eating and personal spaces with animals a bit off putting. Never again.

The food and coffee were good but I thought it was perhaps at the upper end of the price for what we received.

Very difficult to judge,prices are high good gin offerings,not much food on offer good German ales on tap,but bring loads of cash

We had an amazing late lunch. Good fries. It also has a good selection of German and Belgian beers. It has German specialties on the menu. It has bronze cutlery too.

This is a really smart bar in Amble. Great selection of drinks on offer. We were the only ones in on a Wednesday night but it is a lot busier when we have called in at the weekend. Good selection of platters on the menu. It is great to have a very smart, comfortable bar in Amble with good friendly service as well. I wish them well.

A very special place for all the family, beautiful ale,beautiful food, just a really special place, in a special part of Northumberland 👌

Cosy and warm after a long cold wet walk. A welcome change after visiting another bar in Amble that was cold and uninviting. A great drinks menu with lots of European beers and an excellent choice of gins. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food.

We happened to park near this cafe bar and were soon enticed in by the blackboards listing the types of food available. The ham and Brie crepe (one of a variety on offer) was very tasty and the (vegan) Mediterranean veg flatbread with hummus was amazing. The service was slow, but we were happy to enjoy our drinks until the food arrived. It’s a shame there was no soya milk for a soya cappuccino, but there were plenty of other dairy free / options including an excellent green tea. There was an amazing gin menu, each gin being paired with the appropriate Fever Tree tonic and a garnish, a few vodkas and whiskies as well as a selection of beers. Would like to investigate the former on a future visit to the area!
