The Island Shack in Northumberland

We had a toastie, crab sandwich and a coffee and it was freshly made with fresh quality ingredients and absolutely delicious! Watching them cater patiently for all requests (no butter, extra pickle etc) is admirable and at peak times, as long as you are prepared to wait a short time, you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely wonderful, back again, we can’t resist the chicken fillets and chips . Dad said his burger was tasty and quality, nanna loves your crab sandwiches. Thankyou for a friendly service. The Gosport family .

Couple of cracking crab sandwiches and cup of tea. Can’t fault it. Friendly service, crab landed on the island, reasonably priced

great prices, quick service, freshly made sandwiches, great value and quality ingredients , will visit again

Excellent we had a savoury cheese sandwich, bacon cob and chips. Really good value, great friendly service- will visit again

. . . great entrepreneurship, deserves to do well. Excellent location in the centre of the village. We have had food in the past before we could review and thoroughly enjoyed with family. This is a delightful option, great value on the very busy island of Holy Island, so well worth a visit.

Not desperately keen to drop £17 a head on pub fish and chips, we tried this kiosk-with-tables by St Aidens Winery. This place is underselling itself and deserves to be busier. The food is much better than you’d expect given the prices, I heard some people discuss it and walk away - more fool them. A really generously filled fresh crab sandwich, made to order, was £5.95, with lovely soft bread. My husband had a similarly generously filled cheese sandwich. We shared a tray of fries, had a soft drink each and we were out for little over £15.

We popped in because they had crab sandwiches and no one else seemed to have crab. The wait was VERY LONG. I ordered an Angus burger. It was the toughest, driest burger I've ever had. So, while prices were low, the quality was poor. I'd try somewhere else.
