Excellent food, superb view but has become troubled by its own success! The wait for food was a bit crazy at lunch time, and the guy running it just got more and more annoyed at this! There is a ‘pager’ system for orders, so despite the 40 min wait, we just went and played cricket on the car park grass! Then relaxed with some very excellent, non-pretentious seafood. The fishy chips are superb, as is the sweet chilli and prawn burger, and the monkfish and chorizo wrap. Actually, it’s all lovely. It’s not cheap though; probably worth it.
All of the pleasantries of a fancy fish restaurant without any pretenciousness, combined with the convenience of a food truck nestled in a one of a kind location (Bamburgh Castle).
The gentleman who served us was very friendly and polite.
Wish I lived closer!
Had heard good things about this place so stopped by yesterday.
The food was absolutely delicious. Would recommend to anyone who likes seafood.
Super friendly bloke working there too, highly recommend trying the lobster roll if you get chance.
We loved Reel and Creel so much we ate there three days running. We ordered dinner in advance and it was ready on time and twice we had a walk up lunch in the Bamburgh car park. Note that you don’t need to pay for parking if you’re visiting the van. We are just about everything on the menu over three meals, from the lip smacking burger, the chilli prawn burger (10/10!) to lobster, all accompanied with lovely crisp fries, lightly salted and great on their own. This is real fresh food, so if you’re not prepared to wait a few minutes it’s probably not for you and top tip for lunch, be there early to ensure the full range is available. Great discovery, already looking forward to 2024. Ooh, and for Beadnell the caravan park is no cars, so park outside the park entrance in the public park area and walk in. The farm postcode is accurate, hopefully that’s helpful for you all to visit and enjoy the fab food we did.
Great food; we had garlic langoustines, a scallop and bacon roll and shared some
Fishy fries.
All well cooked and the seafood all tasted very fresh.
One thing to keep in mind - it is very popular (we queued for quite a while on a freezing January day) - but it was worth it.
Freshly cooked seafood at great value.
The lobster was cooked to perfection with a light yet rich garlic butter sauce. The fries were seasoned well with great crunch and worked well soaking up the sauce.
Highly recommend the scallops with garlic butter toast. The scallops were sweet, juicy and possibly the biggest scallops I've had in the UK at such a bargain price! The bread was perfectly toasted with crunch and the right crispiness.
Arrive early to avoid disappointment as the place does fill up quickly at noon and some dishes do sell out quickly if you come later in the afternoon.
Tables and benches available for casual "al-fresco" dining. On a good day you can even see Bamburgh Castle in the backdrop. Once filled up it's a short walk away from Bamburgh beach to burn off the calories!
Parking is £4 for the day.
Great little trailer for a lunch break. Fresh and exceptionally great value. We had Half a Lobster in Garlic Butter and Fries (Alien & Chips!). So good was the food we also had a Scallop and Bacon roll. Could have eaten everything on the menu! Simple food. Cooked with love I love how the chef was also thinking green. No plastics used in packaging or utensils. He clearly cares about his food. A great find Brilliant!
…the hot LOBSTER roll might be the only food you ever need to eat again… best lobster I’ve ever had.

This was an absolute triumph. We were looking for somewhere along the road coming back from the highlands to catch the ferry in Newcastle. This place with its (well-deserved) spectacular reviews came up. We each had the scallops on toast and shared one order of the loaded chips (with smoked haddock and cheese sauce). Everything was delicious with the scallops in particular mindblowingly good. Do what you can to make a stop here. Absolutely worth your while.
Had the half Lobster with Fries, incredible and delicious. The lobster was fresh, full of flavor and the fries was so crispy. The service was top tier. I loved everything and now want to try everything!
