Saltwater Cafe Description
We open at 8: 30am and serve breakfasts, light snacks, cakes and afternoon tea throughout the day.
Lunch is served until 2pm and when evening rolls 'round we dim the lights for a stylish bistro dining experience. Our bistro sittings start at 6pm.
Our specialities include homemade cakes, sweet treats, pastries and amazing mains, which showcase the wealth of quality ingredients found on our doorstep.
We pride ourselves on using Northumberland base suppliers and ingredients. This includes seafood fresh from Beadnell Bay and nearby Seahouses harbour. Our meat is from Bamburg butchers Carters, and we regularly use local game from the Cheviot hills.
Our coffee is freshly ground and prepared by our baristas. We also have a wide range of Ringtons loose leaf teas.
Reviews
Remember, we serve breakfasts from 8:30am - 11am. Like what you see, then head in and grab some brunch bites when you can
Always a fave is the seafood platter.
It's been fantastic to see the platter for one has been as popular as we hoped. Remember, you can still get it to share
Either way, we always load the plate with a big mix of locally caught and sourced fish and shellfish
If you're looking for a stater that's lite and delicate, you'll love our Salad of Seahouses Crab with Fennel & Apple Shavings
The sweet aniseed flavours of the fennel add a little kick when mixed with the crab whilst the apple helps balance out the dish
If you still haven't tried our latest bistro menu, then book your table 01665720333, we won't be disappointed
A tasty bite is our Pan Fried Hake Fillet!
The one comes with Potato Dauphinoise & Asparagus wrapped in Smoked Streaky Bacon, with a lemon & parsley butter sauce
Of course, the fish is straight out of the North Sea, helping us to keep ingredients local
Our Grilled Plaice is great for Monday night comfort bites
We serve this with roasted beets, parsnip & carrots with garlic, thyme & a red wine sauce
All of which makes this dish a late summer fave
This is one succulent weekend bite
Poached Chicken Agnes Sorel, is chicken breast filled with mushroom mousse in a white wine sauce with a medley of vegetables & new potatoes
Just one of our new dishes which can be found on our latest bistro menu
A sneaky shot from our outdoor seating zone
It's a fantastic place to sit and watch Beadnell idle by
Another great bistro dessert!
Belgium waffle with banana & caramel ice cream finished off with a big pour of caramel
This sweet treat is part of our evening sittings, making it a fab way to finish your meal
We've got a top weekend pick for you.
We currently love this Slow Roast Belly Pork & Black Pudding Bonbons, on Colcannon with Sage & Red Wine Sauce
With this mixed up weather, the dish is a little bit of comfort food
We know you all love a good dessert!
Perfect for August, is our Eton Mess
It'll satisfy even the sweetest sweet tooth
This one's one of our vegan picks!
Roast Sumac Vegetable Tajine with Couscous and Pitta Bread
The lemony flavour of the sumac, load it with summer tastes
This one's for the meat fan:!
The duo of Northumberland lamb is a confit of shoulder & a casserole of rump with minted mash and vegetables
This one has some home comfort feel and could be worth ordering if there's thunder and lightning this weekend
This one's perfect for a sunshine filled teatime bite!
Pot Roasted Salmon & crayfish with grilled baby leeks and new potatoes, finished with a minted dressing
All of which makes for a dish of delicate summer flavours
Our afternoon teas are now available everyday 2pm - 4pm
We've filled them with a whole mix of summertime light bites, making them ideal for alfresco eating.
Even better, a bottle of Prosecco goes down a treat with these delicate eats
We've been inspired by the heat and we've just whisked up this Mediterranean bread
it's tasting great so grab a slice before we scoff the lot 😋
Looks like a good spot for breakfast 😉
Looks like you're all loving our new alfresco dining area!
With more ☀️ on the way, it looks like it'll be filling up quick as the week progresses 😎🍴🥂
This is one of our new starters, that's just a little bit special!
Guineafowl & Fig Terrine with confit of cherry tomato, heritage beets & crumbled goats cheese
All of which makes for a well-balanced plate
As we head to another hot weekend, this dish is perfect for your bistro bites!
Pan Fried, Hake Fillet, with Potato Dauphinoise & Asparagus wrapped in Smoked Streaky Bacon. We also serve it with a Lemon & Parsley Butter Sauce
This is another brand new dish, that's full of summer flavours
What a lovely cafe! Staff were friendly and welcoming, and our afternoon tea was delicious. Thank you �
Went for a an evening meal drove all the any from Bedlington after seeing reviews and hearing good stories.
Food was excellent opted for the seafood sharing platter for two - fresh locally cooked ingredients cooked to perfection.
Well deserved 5 stars highly recommended will definitely be back service was excellent friendly, knowledgable and welcoming.
Thank you for a lovely meal,and evening out x
We were staying just across the road and said we would treat ourselves to a nice breakfast on our last day it was lovely buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup yummy... kept seeing other peoples breakfasts they all looked amazing.
Very enjoyable experience at the saltwater cafe , lovely food, very friendly staff we will definitely be back in the summer 😊☕️🍽
Thoroughly recommend to anyone who enjoys high quality, locally sourced meat and fish, beautifully cooked and presented. It really is a cut above the norm anywhere, not just in Seahouses, After a fabulous evening meal tonight we will definitely be back to try lunch and afternoon tea as well! :D
The best dinner we've had for as long as we can remember. We visited whilst on holiday in the area and as we will be staying in Beadnell regularly, we will certainly be back. The bistro has a lovely ambience; very pleasant decor and tables not too close together. The staff were friendly and warm and catered for my husband's onion allergy without any difficulty. The food was just amazing; fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked with delicious accompaniment. We were with my Sister and Brother-in-Law, who agreed that the meal was very good. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Stumbled across the cafe after a drive through beadnell, it's certainly a place we will be visiting regularly. We had coffee and scones that were fabulous the menu looks lovely for the rest of the food they do.
Staff were friendly, we would certainly recommend to anyone �
Never fails to delight and satisfy. I only wish I had room for a pud! Food great and staff wonderful. Relaxed atmosphere and fine food
Lovely food! Very friendly staff. Coffee was a bit cold but we did come in when it was very busy.
Lovely breakfast this morning, husband particularly enjoyed the black pudding on his Northumbrian breakfast!! So pleased that dogs are now allowed indoors!!
Lovely breakfast and great tea & coffee :) decent value too!
Love Salt Water on a day time with added kids and dog but couldn’t fault our table for 2 last night, food was delicious as was the gin, lovely staff and lush chilled atmosphere .... 10/10 from us xx����
Just happened on this place by chance. It didn't disappoint. Fabulous sandwiches, coffee and cake served by friendly and welcoming staff. We will definitely be back.
Just had a delicious dinner. Blackened Cajun seafood followed by sticky toffee pudding. Service was wonderful and very friendly. We’re staying next door so will definitely be back to try some of the yummy looking cakes and coffee, not to mention breakfast.
I can't rate this place highly enough ! We had 2 amazing meals here while on holiday in Beadnell ! Amazing choice on the menu , especially sea food and everything cooked to perfection . Service brilliant and also an enormous selection of cakes for dessert .
Had lunch here and it was very good. Food fresh, service fast and great atmosphere. Overall a fab place to eat.
Had great night and food at salet water cafe .food amazing �.

Had beautiful 3 course meal this evening and would highly recommend this place to anyone. There was plenty on the menu to choose from and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back again.
Had a lovely cooked breakfast yesterday morning with my son before we left Beadnell. Food piping hot and plentiful, gorgeous decor and pretty pleasant ladies serving - would love to return if visiting again. Thank you xx
Found this little gem two days ago. Been twice already we’re going back Saturday for our breakfast 🍳
Denise.
Found this little gem by accident. Will definitely be back before the end of my holiday. I've never seen my son not manage to finish a tuna sandwich lol. It was huge and the Lemon drizzle cake was the best I've eaten.
Fantastic full English breakfast and excellent service, very kindly gave me a slice of chocolate cake for my birthday which tasted amazing.
Fantastic food and staff, one of the best places we have been to in a long time.
Fantastic Breakfast yesterday , both the English Breakfast and veggie breakfast were delicious and plenty of selection for the kids such as pancakes, crumpets etc..
Fabulous little cafe, visited with friends and family at lunchtime. Great selection of drinks and the food was gorgeous, from wedges to the four layer chocolate cake!!! - Lovely little find.
Fabulous cafe in a lovely location with very friendly staff......the salted caramel chocolate cake is to die for.
Fabulous food in a lovely setting friendly polite staff,can highly recommend .
Fab cafe in a beautiful location sat outside which was lovely peaceful and relaxing coffee was excellant we did not have food but the meals that were being served looked amazing so next time will eat also, service great overall would highly recommend
Excellent food & friendly staff. Chico is a perfect host x
Enjoyed a wonderful spontaneous lunch today, we had lobster linguine and sirloin beef with a chilled bottle of sav blanc, delicious �
Delicious evening meal. Relaxing atmosphere.
Been for dinner and Sunday lunch. Both didn't disappoint. The cakes and Puddings on offer were scrumptious. Sometimes the service could have been more diligent.
Always great food and atmosphere. A must do if you are in the area. A regular if you are local.
Absolutely amazing. Gorgeous food, lovely people and an amazing place for a relaxed meal outside with the pooch. Thank you! Just wish you could move to Bakewell!
AMAZING!!!! Me and 2 friends had afternoon here today, we all agree its the best one we have had. The food was amazing there was so much choice we didnt know where to start. Thank you
We only live in Bamburgh but this is our little gem of a coffee stop when we walk Beadnell Beach .Staff always happy and very friendly service good .Do the most delicious cakes .well worth a visit
Lovely little restaurant...great food....nice airy atmosphere....will go again...next time we're up in beadnell
Really disappointed with my meal. Had to send back as not hot. Not worth £ 18 for a little slither of lamb and mashed potato. Friends meal had a dodgy prawn. Customer service appalling. Chef had chipped nail polish on if she was the chef. Burns night on at Crasher and wonder if she was a stand in on the night.
Won't be rushing back.
Called in for lunch today and sadly we were disappointed. Staff were less than welcoming and the atmosphere was flat. This café must have the noisiest fridge in the world! It was so loud, we could not hear each other speak! The food was average at best and based on most reviews we have read, we were expecting so much more. There was very little choice (sandwiches & jackets only on main menu plus a handful of fish specials on the blackboard). As I didn't want bread, I asked if I could have a salad. What I actually got was a sandwich without the bread! A small salad garnish, coleslaw and sandwich filling spread out on the plate is not a salad! It was an identical plate to my other half just minus the bread! We wont be rushing back.
