Jaspers in Northumberland

From start to finish probably one of the best meals we have ever had . The small compact restaurant is warm and cosy. The staff are attentive, friendly and very knowledgable about the dishes . The lobster was delicious and the chips cooked in beef fat were irresistible- the steak was cooked perfectly . The cheese and biscuits were good , and a huge bowl of chocolate brownie went down a treat . We were here celebrating a birthday in Amble for a few days . We were pleasantly surprised at this beautiful quaint town, with plenty of fabulous restaurants to choose from . We felt this one was the best ! We went to 4 while we were there .

We came upon this restaurant just before the first lockdown and have since made the journey and visited a few times each year. It continues to be absolutely amazing! fresh homemade food with fantastic tastes, highly recommend see you in the summer 😀

This has to be the best restaurant in Amble. The restaurant was recommended to us by the owners of the holiday apartment we stayed in & we were not disappointed. 5 stars for service - the waiter was fantastic and so friendly.5 stars for the atmosphere and decor - it’s absolutely beautiful. 5 stars & more for the food - it was so good we went twice during our holiday. The seafood risotto is absolutely delicious. My family even had oysters which they loved. Even our dog was welcome and he was given a fresh bowl of water on arrival. We will certainly be back the next time we visit Amble. Well done to the owners and staff of this fabulous little restaurant, you are amazing.

Totally forgot how good Jasper's is, first visit for a while due to covid restrictions. Excellent food, service and ambiance. Fresh food superbly prepared by Ryan and staff. Got to be the best in Northumberland unless anyone knows any where better.

Visited for an early evening meal for two. Very small intimate restaurant with a small but excellent menu concentrating on fish/seafood but alternatives for both vegetarian and non fish eaters. Very nice atmosphere (dog friendly so be aware if you don’t like them in restaurants, we had ours and the table next to us two, all big dogs but very well behaved). Excellent service. The food was superb, my wife and I are not really fish lovers but we both dived into the fish side and could not have enjoyed the meal more. My filleted sea bass curry was absolutely brilliant. Good sized portions, small but good beer and wine selection. Very good value for such a high quality meal. Would highly recommend and we will return when next in the area. Well done to the chef and staff for making it such an enjoyable experience. Oh yes, given the size then best to book ahead I would suggest.

Very quiet only one other couple came in. But ambiance still nice. Enjoyed our starters oysters and crab soup. Husbands main course of sea bream slightly under cooked but this was soon rectified. Monkfish was delicious.

Loved everything .. thank you for a lovely evening. We enjoyed a fabulous 3 courses and a cosy friendly setting.

We tend to save Jasper's for our special occasions, and this time it was celebrating our 30th anniversary.As always the food was absolutely fantastic, the restaurant was spotless and cosy, with a lovely intimate, but friendly atmosphere.At some point I will run out of things to say about this brilliant little place, because it is just so good!

Each year for our anniversary we come here,we have never been disappointed, this year was no exception. We were seated in this comfortable restaurant, given complimentary prosecco, which we appreciated, by Ryan and his wonderful staff. My wife had the mushroom risotto with roasted walnuts and st.agur cheese,pea shoots.I had slow roasted pork belly with crushed potatoes, samphire ,parsnip and pea shoot salad. This was followed by Eton mess. The food was accompanied by lovely bottle of shiraz. The atmosphere in this restaurant is complemented by a great choice of background music.The staff are friendly and you can tell that they are enthused to work in such a convivial environment. Five stars are not enough to award such a great place. We will ,without doubt,keep returning.

This is a special unique restaurant. With only 12 guests at a time it feels more like a private dinner and you can watch the chef prepare one table at a time. Perfect lobster and bouillabaisse. ‘Slow food’ and all the better for it to enjoy a leisurely dinner rather than the more normal rush. Went back for equally good fish pie and fish and chips lunch. Not cheap but excellent value

We visited this bistro on holiday in August. It was a small, friendly place, with just a few tables. The welcome was very warm and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, and freshly prepared, and the ambience was great. We will definitely be back when we are next in that area.

An amazing place. Atmosphere perfect. Didnt rush you. Staff lovely very helpful. Beef medallion best had in ages. Cheese board locally sourced. Definitely recommend. Value for money. Perfect start to our holiday

We had booked on our first trip to Amble in June but unfortunately due to a refurbishment that ran over Jaspers had to cancel. Thankfully we were able to book on our 2nd visit to Amble and visited last night from the welcome by Connor everything was perfect, Scallop starter delicious, Fish Pie - don’t expect your normal fish pie covered in mash potato this is a revelation so rich & full of lovely fish, Mushroom Risotto, spot on. Sadly we couldn’t manage a dessert. It is only a small restaurant but so well ran by only a team of 3. Can’t recommend enough if your visiting Amble.

We visited here from the Scottish Borders after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. We hadn't been in this area and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Northumberland Coast. Our lunch was the highlight of the day. The bistro is small, cosy and welcoming. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and helped us feel at ease. The food was so fresh and tasty and very well presented. It would be a shame to come to Amble and not relish the freshest of local seafood and this is exactly what we did. Sardines, scallops, crab, langoustines prepared to order. Lovely background music added to the atmosphere. Well done and thankyou.

The food and service are excellent. It is a small cosy restaurant with just a few tables. There is no rush or hurry and so be sure you have time to eat here. The food is local produce and expertly cooked and presented. We had oysters, scallops and squid to start - outstanding fresh produce and I had sea bream as a main and my wife had belly of pork. The service is friendly and informed. All diners then we were there were equally pleased with their selections. I recommend eating here and each of the courses we had.

From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, Connor couldn’t have been a better host. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was exquisite. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this small gem to any food lovers. Being by the coast we had seafood but there is a good choice.

My family and I spent a lovely evening at jaspers . Food was delightful, nice cosy atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend for anyone if you like seafood!

Jaspers was recommended to us by a regular visitor to Amble and we’re so grateful they suggested this delightful little bistro as the go-to venue for my 60th birthday meal. The food was exceptional. The scallops were the best we’ve ever tasted and the bouillabaisse was a triumph. The staff were friendly and attentive and there was a fun, laid back vibe to the place. Our fellow diners were all having a thoroughly good time too and their menu choices looked equally appetising. Thank you. We’d definitely return.Sent from my iPhone

Had a beautiful meal with great service, the chicken liver starter was fantastic as was the pan fried squid. The fish pie was indulgent and rich, the pork belly was fantastic, crisp crackling and soft pork with a gentle sweet apple relish to cut through the richness of the of the fatty belly, can't wait to come back

What a great find! A delightful bistro with a local fresh menu. Every course was delicious & beautifully presented. Excellent ambience & friendly service. The food is definitely fresh as the fisherman arrived with the crab whilst we were ordering!

Don’t be put off by the location of this small bistro in a terraced back street in the centre of Amble. The service and fish courses are really good. The bouillabaisse was the finest I have ever tasted anywhere. The deserts ,however, are made by the waiter and are a big let down and worth a miss. Gets a bit warm inside when full ( only 12 covers )

Can not rate this restaurant highly enough, fabulous food. We had scallops and squid to start and then seafood risotto and bouillabaisse. Just wonderful. Staff are just the right amount of attentiveness. Chef obviously loves his job which is just perfect. You need to book in advance as so popular (rightly so) I would say say at least 3 weeks.

We went for a meal here on Saturday and it was exceptional. Great service, food and overall great experience. We got the lobster and chips and the chef made up a vegan mushroom curry which was amazing! 100% recommned.

As soon as we sat down I knew we were in for a treat as we had a warm welcome and the ambience was very pleasant. We had scallops and crab soup to start, lobster and bream for mains, and Eton mess and brownie sundae for dessert. All three courses were very tasty and excellent value for money. The lobster was really melt in the mouth. Wine was reasonably priced. Service was lovely. Keep up the good work, would 100% recommend!

We had an outstanding dinner at Jasper's Bistro.This was my first time trying lobster and I couldn't have picked a better place to do so.Mains were sea bream, battered monkfish tail, vegetation assorted sides and whole lobster.Desserts of affogato, chocolate brownie sundae, sugared donuts and a local cheese board.Service was outstanding and, of course, no review of mine is incomplete without a comment on toilets, immaculate!In summary, this is an intimate little restaurant (under 20 covers), booking= essential, definitely worth the trip!

One word….outstanding! We dined there to celebrate my wife’s birthday, Conner was extremely welcoming with a glass of complimentary fizz! Mussels and chicken liver were devoured with much joy followed by a rib eye steak for me and sea bream for the birthday girl….both beautifully cooked and presented, our taste buds were very excited! You MUST try the home made Focaccia!! The attention to detail was outstanding and the background music was perfect!! Make the time to visit…you won’t be disappointed!

Oh my goodness, what a very, special place. The food was out of this world, stunning, would be an understatement! Wonderful attentive service from Connor, and even a homemade dog biscuit for our furry companion and a bowl of water for him when we arrived.The Bouillabaisse and fish pie were exceptional, so much so that we tried to book for later in the week , but sadly, but not surprisingly they were fully booked.We will definitely be back and have already recommended to friends who have booked for November. Thank you Connor and Ryan for the most amazing meal.

We paid a visit to Jasper’s last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were greeted with warm welcome from the staff and a complimentary glass of fizz. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. Everything about our visit was great, so much so we booked again for the next night!!!

As others have said previously, it’s a great little place, unpretentious and friendly. The food is a delight to look at and an even bigger delight to eat. Very relaxed atmosphere, a must if your visiting this wonderful area.

At last a restaurant which lives up to its reviews! From the moment we walked in the waiter was friendly and that was the start of a fab evening, food was superb and the small touches of a free liquor at the end of the evening was a welcome close to the evening, we would have booked every night however evenings were fully booked during our stay - what more can you say!

We enjoyed the food at this exceptional restaurant. Quality figments and good ambience with most helpful staff. Expect a warm and friendly welcome here .

Their restaurant is tiny, so I would imagine that booking a table is a must. When you do, you will certainly not be disappointed - the food is freshly cooked and clearly benefits from locally sourced produce.Both the main menu and the specials board were primarily aimed at fish lovers, however there are meat options as well - both my daughter & I took the meat route with a main course of beef fillet served with roast potatoes, broccoli & black pudding.This was perfectly cooked and presented - they even took on board my strange request for the beef to be cooked med/well done :-)My daughter had Eton Mess & I had Ice Cream with Espresso & Alnwick (Almond) rum to follow - all washed down with a good quality Chilean Malbec.The service & food were top quality and we have already booked for a return visit.Highly recommended !!!They are dog friendly as a neighbouring table had their labrador puppy with them - top marks for it's behaviour :-)

Thankfully I had read the reviews and booked ahead. Quirky, small venue with friendly staff and first class food. Highly recommended. We had the seafood risotto, seafood bouillabaisse, monkfish and the Argentinian ribeye, along with cocktails, wine and dessert. Everything fresh and cooked to perfection. Can’t rate this little gem highly enough!

We stopped off in desperate search of a coffee and they very kindly accommodated. Unfortunately we were leaving the next day so could not book a meal. Definitely a must when back in the area as the menu looked amazing. Restaurant was beautifully decorated, small but full of atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. Serve lovely hot coffee. Great atmosphere great music great staff. We will be back for a meal next trip.

We had booked this place months ago as we knew it was a popular spot in Amble and we were not disappointed! The food was absolutely superb - perfectly cooked Pork belly, sublime squid and courteous, friendly service too. Book ahead and support local.

A fantastic little restaurant in Amble, Northumberland. Just a few tables inside this little restaurant but that creates a lovely, very personal experience. The food was excellent as is the service. Couldn’t fault a single thing and it lived up to its great reputation. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

I cannot fault this restaurant or it’s staff. This is the second time I have eaten here as I am from the area but live away now. From the booking process to the meal itself the service I received on both occasions has been first class. The food here is done with style but using fantastic local produce and most importantly it’s done with love. You will not be disappointed if you choose to eat here and from the chef to the table staff they are a team and family, it is a pleasure to have met them and eaten their food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a lovely meal here. Fresh seafood cooked beautifully, with the superb chips and anchovy tapenade served with the lobster a personal highlight. Really excellent service - friendly, calm and helpful and a lovely overall atmosphere.

The five of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal there… all were enthusiastic about the dishes. Lovely atmosphere, attentive service, cool music and good food. What’s not to like?

Absolutely fantastic. Best meal in a long time. Belly pork apple crushed potatoes samphire …..wow The seasoning spot on service fantastic and such a lovely place.

We went as a family group on the eve of my mother's 80th birthday. The restaurant is small and unfortunately they needed to move our booking back by 30mins but we were prewarned so no biggie for us.Covid wise excellent, tables spaced out, door open so plenty of ventilation and staff wearing masks. Felt much happier here than we did when we went to a place in Alnmouth the following day.The food is to die for! Standout dishes were chilli crab soup, Amble langoustines and scallops to start. Main courses of note were the Monk fish n chips, lobster from the Specials board and for me the curried sea bass - delicate, complex and complimentary flavours - I loved this dish, it was sublime!The venue is relaxed, not formal and the team are wonderful. The waiting team knew all the dishes very well, were so lovely to my elderly parents and even gave my mother a beautiful gift for her birthday!Wonderful food and service, can't fault it and thank you for a very memorable meal.

What can I say. This place is very small, however this doesn't take anything away from this wonderful place. Fresh seafood cooked wonderfully by the talented chef. We had Pan seared squid with garlic and chilli, along with amble languistines for starters, I had a whole crab with a wonderful salad and chips and my partner had battered monkfish and chips.. absolutely fantastic. The waiter was well informed and very friendly. We will be back. Thank you so much. Keep doing what your doing!

The welcome is warm, the place is small but with with a slightly (and tasteful) rustic feel to it. The wines are carefully chosen for quality. We had two glasses each. I had a whole fish (catch of the day) and my husband had the fillet. There were only six people in and the others already had their main courses. Our wait was 30-40 minutes (rather too long) but the meat and fish were beautifully cooked and nicely presented. I had to ask for a plate for my fish detritus. I had a potato which was simply cut in half and sautéed. The vegetables seemed to be presented as al dente, but they weren’t really as they still had a ‘raw taste’. It’s definitely a four star plus, but having eaten in five star restaurants and paid less - it doesn’t quite reach that standard..

Believe all the reviews, this place is amazing!The restaurant is so small that it feels like you’re actually dining in someone’s home! The compact nature of Jasper’s really helps with their ability to provide a personal service. There were only 4 tables in the restaurant when we dined and everyone was getting super service.The quality of the food and presentation is second to none and the wine selection is very reasonably priced. Many thanks for a great evening.

Wow !! What an amazing place to visit . Jaspers is small and intimate and the service and food is incredible . The fish dishes are superb but for me the mushroom risotto was simply the best I have ever eaten please never take it from the menu ! We booked to return whilst still at the table !

So, so good! A gorgeously small restaurant in the heart of Amble. Perfect, friendly and efficient service and absolutely wonderful food. We shared squid and focaccia, then had monkfish and chips (which the teens polished off in record time) and fish pie. All excellent. Definitely recommend.

We spotted Jaspers on TA and whilst in Amble, called in at lunchtime on the off chance that they had a table. We were lucky, as it is only small, that they were able to fit us in before the next booking. We were both determined to have seafood whilst we were in the area, so I chose lobster and the OH had the crab. Both were delicious, as expected. The staff were very friendly and we loved the background music (Elvis)! Well we enjoyed it so much that we booked for lunch two days later. That time it was even better (if that were possible). Jaspers' food is superlative and the subtle tastes of the components of the meal make it unique. We can't wait to return!

Following the refurbishment we're delighted to say it looks really good. Our meal was lovely and it was well worth it. We regularly frequented Jaspers prior to lockdown, and found it to be just as good on our return . It's lovely to see Ryan back as he is an excellent chef. Customer service is excellent as always. We would highly recommend eating here. The ambience is to be envied.

What a Gem. A beautiful restaurant which is small and intimate. It was clean bright and had a brilliant ambiance. The food was amazing , freshly cooked using local produce. Service was amazing too. Definitely would 100% recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed this intimate restaurant. The seafood is fresh and expertly cooked. Maybe controversially though, my favourite was the desert - donuts with clotted cream. Genius.

We booked Jaspers for a birthday meal a few months in advance to ensure we got in, having had a great meal here last year when we visited the area. It was excellent again and we had a great evening with fantastic food and great service. Can’t speak highly enough of this restaurant. We need to visit Amble more often!

I don’t normally write reviews but we went to Jasper’s on the reviews that we had read and it did not disappoint! Lovely atmosphere and a super welcome from the staff and chef. Dog friendly too which is always a bonus although the car park is only a minute walk if you do need to keep them in the car. The food was delicious and the toilets were extremely clean…we will definitely be visiting again 5 stars all the way. :-)

Our 2nd visit to Jaspers. (Should have been our 3rd) We love this place so much so we booked for our 50th birthdays in December but then COVID cancelled everything. We delayed our trip until July and one of the main reasons to come back to the area was to eat at Jaspers. I can’t start to tell you how superb this place is. The food, service, atmosphere for such a small place is 100% spot on. If this was in a major city or down in that there London the ‘foodie know it all’s’ would be all over it. It is a gem of a place. The fish is locally caught and so fresh it must have been swimming that morning! Amble is so a lucky to have Jaspers. We hope to be back before the end of the year to eat here again. Cheers & keep up the good work.

This was a treat for me and my wife and we weren't disappointed. The service was excellent, friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious with fresh local langoustines and lobster. Accompanied by good beer and great wine, we thoroughly enjoyed the night.

It is a must to book ahead as it is a cosy restaurant with limited tables . The ambiance is just lovely . The menu is perfect with a good wine list and some specials . We both had oysters for our starters which were fresh and delicious and for mains we again had lobster which was on the specials and was divine . This is a chef at the top of his game .the service is excellent from connor and team go it’s fantastic .

Jaspers was a lucky find after a booking elsewhere was cancelled at short notice. Lovely menu with an amazing specials board full of fish dishes from local sources (some just a few hundred metres from the restaurant). Scallops were seared to perfection, oysters unbelievably fresh, lobster delicious and langoustines plentiful. The waiter was very friendly and attentive but never intrusive, even when we were chatting with the people on the table next to us. You could see the chef at work who never seemed flustered, clearly enjoying his work, and even managed a quick chat with him afterwards - very passionate about using the local fresh fish.We will definitely be back next time we are in Northumberland, thank you.

What a positive experience in a great little restaurant, tucked around a corner in Amble.My positive experience started from the moment I sent a text requesting a booking, all the way through to when we left the front door after an amazing meal.The menu was varied and featured ridiculously fresh local sea food, cooked expertly with a mix of delicate flavours.Service was attentive but not over bearing, delivered with a smile.It was clear watching the Chef and the front of house staff that this is a happy place to work, which reflected in the customer service, the delightful presentation of the food and the perfect blend of flavours.Enthusiastic, imaginative and superb attention to detail. The question isn’t whether I would go back, but when they can next fit me in.

Excellent food snd excellent service would highly recommend this place and hope to go back again to try something else on the menu.

What a lovely unexpected place. Very congenial cosy atmosphere with the chef in full view and, for once, music which suited us admirably. Great service and really enjoyable food. Our best evening out in Amble and regrettably it was booked up for the next two weeks so that we could not repeat the experience.

We booked a few well reviewed restaurants on our trip to Northumberland and Jasper’s was without a doubt the best meal we had. Small intimate restaurant with an excellent front of house. We had the bouillabaisse and the curried fish and both were fantastic. Superb fish cookery where the fish was perfectly balanced with the sauces. Would recommend this and make sure you book as they had to turn away a lot of walk ins.

Two fish dishes were overcooked. The chips were greasy and soggy. The veg overcooked and cold. A great disappointment after reading the rave reviews about the restaurant.

Absolutely excellent. Service was first class and very attentive. Seafood starters were very special, but the outstanding dish was the seafood risotto - incredibly tasty. Great wine list and the desserts were very good too. Can’t wait to come back.

We had booked to visit on Friday 19th June but they had not yet reopened.Whilst in Amble we noticed that they were reopened.We booked in the 3rd night of opening Due to covid rules we arrived at 5.30 , there were 4 other people at 1 other table We ordered garlic prawns and scallops to start These were nicely presented and delicious For main we had the specially recommended Battered Monkfish with tartare sauce and tripe cooked chipsMy husband chose Seafood LinguineAccompanied by a decent bottle of wine and a beer , our bill came to £100 Which we consider good value They turned away people who had not booked ,sadly a booking did not arrive whilst we were there.This is so inconsiderate , they are only a tiny venue, so losing a table could be a quarter of the takingsWould highly recommend booking in advance if you can

Visited in July 2019 and, as I was having a short break in the area with my daughter, we booked again. Staff are lovely, food was delicious. Scallop starter for me and garlic chilli prawns for my daughter. Then I had beer battered monkfish and she had bouillabaisse. All perfectly cooked and gorgeous.

Excellent food, excellent staff and all together an excellent experience! Couldn’t ask for more by the tentative staff and the food tasted great!

From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome by Conner, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, we ordered and he came back for a chat, very engaging person, very passionate about his town and the restaurant. The food we recieved was very fresh and prepared to the highest standards by Ryan the owner and chef, I cant recommend this place enough!! We are coming back to Northumberland again next year and will definitely come here to eat again. ☆☆☆☆☆

Staying in Amble for a few days with friends, we were looking for somewhere nice for lunch. We 4 plus 2 dogs were greeted with masked smiles and we settled down to choose from a delicious sounding menu. Fresh local seafood and oysters, juicy crispy pork belly, reasonably priced wine, sweet and delicious desserts. Fab friendly service from Connor made our farewell lunch truly special and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend booking yourself a table soon!

A wonderful refurbished bistro. We went on day 2 after the reopening. The service was great from start to finish. The food had great flavour, freshness and presented so well by the chef. This bistro should be tried before the press catch onto how good it is. I rate it better than any that have been mentioned in national press recently.

We ordered two seafood linguine's which were cooked to order. Arrived to collect, and the smell of it cooking was heavenly! Being new to Amble having just bought a cottage in town Jasper's was the first place we had eaten from and certainly did not disappoint. The portions were huge and full of shellfish, the staff were extremely friendly and the restaurant would have a great ambience when allowed to open again. We shall certainly be back, ordering takeaways until Boris says we can properly dine in style!

Although closed for sit down meals Jasper’s is open for wonderful food to take away. I treated myself to broccoli and Stilton soup with focaccia bread. It was lovely tasty change. They have a wide range of options from the restaurant menu to takeaway. A welcome change during these restricted times.

Booked online for dinner whilst on hols in the area back in early October, having seen reviews on Tripadvisor. Not disappointed, food was excellent and had local fish menu items (mussels starter and sea bass main). Owner was very welcoming and managed effective social distancing between diners at tables in this rather cosy restaurant.

Was meant to be getting married today but this was postponed due to COVID. My partner and I decided to treat ourselves and our 4 year old daughter for a meal and found Jasper’s through trip adviser. The service was great, the menu was very extensive and the waitress pointed out that we could order off menu for our daughter if we wish (we didn’t need to as she loves fish). We ordered lots of starters to share and dessert. It was all fantastic. The chef came out afterwards to chat. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to others.

Just visited jaspers for the first time and have no idea why we have not been before. Lovely ambiance. Warm and cosy with swing music played at just the right level. Food outstanding. Fish and seafood cooked simply at its best. Such a deft touch! Best meal I have had in ages. Thank you so much.

The restaurant is so welcoming with a fabulous ambiance. The service is fantastic & the waitress Georgia is very friendly. The Chef, to say he does all the cooking by himself, is absolutely spectacular. Even after a busy shift, he was super pleasant to speak to & was very interesting.The food was unreal, I’d say the best we have tasted. The fish is really fresh & each bite is full of flavour. We had the spiced pear crumble & bread and butter pudding for dessert, both were so tasty. No wonder this restaurant is 5 stars on here. Hopefully not long until they get a Michelin star, they really deserve one. Good luck with your sister restaurant & thank you for making our anniversary so special. We can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

Amazing food, wonderful ambience & friendly staff. The dishes were sublime & memorable, they gave brilliant recommendations, local produce pulled together elegantly. A must visit.

Superb little restaurant. Visited last night,the food was exceptional and the staff friendly and welcoming. Will be returning on our next visit to Amble

We recently had one of our best ever meals out at Jaspers in Amble. We went for the monkfish curry with a twist and the bouillabaisse for our mains. Both dishes were really beautifully presented and utterly delicious. The food was truly fabulous and the service second to none. We can’t wait to return and are still talking about it now. Good luck to the opening of your sister restaurant in Morpeth.

Ate there last night and the food was truly exceptionalStarted with the crab chilli soupI had catch of the day, beautiful, and my better half had the beef medallions, also stunningTopped of with rhubarb and ginger crumble and bread and butter pudding, both to die for!

What a gem! Wonderful fish restaurant in Amble serving excellent freshly cooked local food prepared to a really high standard in an atmospheric little bistro setting. A definite must for anyone in the area.

This was a birthday celebration supper, just the two of us. We sat down at 4 and left at 7. Everything about our meal was special. The wine was exquisite. The starter imaginative and perfectly cooked and presented (scallops and belly pork). Main course (monkfish with lightly curried or spiced sauce, and belly pork) was refined, full of taste, generous and beautifully presented. Cheeses lovely. Bread fresh. Service open, efficient, charming and just right. Afterwards outside we spoke with strangers from the next table who I hope will become long term friends. And my partner was as always perfect. What an evening. Never found such restaurant joy down south!

This maybe a bijou boutique restaurant but it has a big heart . We ate locally sourced seafood for starters and mains and both were delicious and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and helpful and keeping to covid rules to make it customer friendly in difficult times. We highly recommend a visit. Judith

This was our second visit to Jaspers (Amble) for dinner and the food again was excellent! The bread and mystery butter is highly recommended! The comfit of pork belly was beautifully cooked! Service was warm and welcoming, all our questions were answered including an in-depth conversation on fruit crumbles! Cosy ambience and we look forward to visiting the new restaurant when we are in Amble again!

Another fabulous meal at Jasper’s to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Attentive customer service with delicious food from an inspiring menu.We went for the scallops with pork belly and langoustines for starters and the ‘catch of the day’ curried (Monkfish) and Ribeye steak. All fabulous! Even though we were more than full we know that the desserts are to die for so managed to find room for the crumble of the week (rhubarb & ginger) and the cheese plate, again all gorgeous!Highly recommend

A fabulous experience from start to end. Creative food, beautifully presented & the most amazing flavours. We thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait from them to be in Morpeth too!

Starters good (oysters and scallops), mains we both had the ‘specials’ monkfish but unfortunately both sadly lacking. My monkfish in white wine was overcooked fish, undercooked tenderstem broccoli which was difficult to even cut with a knife, served with three pieces of bland potato in what can only be described as a salty dishwater sauce. I would have been ashamed to serve this up to anyone to be honest. My husband had the curried monkfish ‘special’ supposedly with coriander and coconut, both of which were entirely missing. I tasted his and he tasted mine just so we could be sure we weren’t missing something. So very disappointing! Front of house was very welcoming and we did not mind waiting an hour for our starters as we were told everything was cooked fresh. Fair enough except that there were only 6 people in total in the place and two had already been served mains. What takes 1 hour to open oysters and cook 3 scallops with cold pea purée? Anyway, the starters were good so that is forgivable. Mains were shocking, sorry. We will not be back. Chef needs to go back to catering college or go and eat at somewhere like Wheelers at Whitstable to see how seafood should be served. The monkfish definitely died in vain. Cheese board for dessert was good but we had to order it as we were still hungry after starter and mains! We so wanted to enjoy Jaspers. Anyone putting compliments on here doesn’t know what a real seafood restaurant is (unless Jaspers had a stand-in chef on evening of 24 September?)

Enjoyed a lovely meal of scallops with pea purée, lobster with garlic mayo, sauté potatoes and tender stem broccoli and chocolate brownie. Beautifully prepared to order and a joy to eat. The restaurant is small so booking is advised and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. We will visit again next time we are in the area

Myself and my husband have visited here tonight.Although a very small restaurant the food, service,and ambiance was wonderful. I cannot praise them enough everything was ‘A’ class.My praise goes to the chef, everything was freshly prepared and cooked to perfection well worth a visit if you can .Just excellent!

Beautiful meal! Great service, Rhubarb crumble for dessert which I don’t like so chef did an apple crumble for me! Totally recommend.

We booked a table for lunch and got there just as it was opening. We were seated after a lovely young waitress cleaned our table. There was a special board which I ordered from. I chose scallops (2) in minted pea purée with truffle oil (£10), cooked perfectly followed by monkfish which was shown to me and looked colossal (was quite a small piece when it arrived) it was accompanied by sprouting broccoli and potatoes. Hubby has chilli crap soup followed by fillet steak, black pudding and white truffle oil & fried potatoes. We decided after a break and seeing the only other occupied table having the cheese board with port to order it also. The chef had ran out of cheese so popped to Tesco to buy a fruit cheese and cheddar & smoked, not the best selection ever & a very small portion. The music & ambience is very relaxing, however it was cold as the front door was wide open & the bathroom wasn’t the cleanest I’ve ever used. We would go back & yes recommend.

We visited in Thursday 17th September there were 4 of us ...we all had high expectations and I’m afraid we were underwhelmed. None of our Starters Or mains arrived Together which is a pet hate of mine when I’m out to dine I want us all to eat at the same time. I had the mussels which were fine but the sauce was watery and had a strange flavour...there was the smallest square of bread served with it. The mains were served after about an hour and 20 minute wait ..far too long to wait and again the mains weren’t served at the same time. My friend had the catch of the day and it was a small portion with only one piece of sea bass fillet we gave feedback about this and were disappointed with the response we got really as there was no gesture made just that it had been fed back to the chef. The other 3 meals were good sized. Two of the part had the rhubarb crumble and said it was excellent and rather a large portion ! The other 2 of us shared A cheese board This again was extremely small , three slithers of cheese is the only way I can describe it so I asked for more cheese Which were fetched ...however we were charged £5 for the extra cheese which was disappointing and I feel this should not have been charged for. We knew it was going to be pricey and that wasn’t an issue ...however the food was overall disappointing.

We stayed a week in nearby Alnmouth. Our dinner at Jaspers was our favourite dinner of the week. The food was delicious; I had scallops followed by the local catch of the day. Both very good. There were 5 of us, and we all ordered different main courses. It took a while for these to arrive, but when they did all 5 of us agreed our meals were excellent. Staff are very welcoming and entertaining; the ambience is excellent. The immediate area is not especially attractive, but do not be put off, this is a restaurant to try out.

Went today for lunch with my husband, I had previously been in touch with Jaspers to ask if they could do me a seafood platter for one, as was a special treat for me and my husband does not like seafood. I had asked for a whole lobster but no oysters and they came through. It was absolutely amazing and I was in seafood heaven !!! So fresh, so delicious and so sweet. The young man that served us was lovely and added to the experience. A lovely treat all round. Thank you.

Went in for lunch which was lovely. Fresh produce well cooked - had surf and turf. Lovely staff. Highly recommended

We were really looking forward to our meal at Jaspers having read the reviews. However, we didn’t feel that the food quite lived up to expectations. The starters were lovely but a little expensive ( £10 and £11 for 2 scallops with peas/black pudding). The mains were okay but again we had expected something special for around £20 each. I had a dessert which was lovely. The ambiance and staff were really lovely but the food, on balance, was over priced for what it was.

Had the pleasure of dining at Jaspers in August and a Michelin star restaurant this month.Although the later was nice,Jaspers was by far the better experience.Need I say more.

We have been before and very much looked forwards to coming again. As this is a small venue we did wonder what would be different in these Covid troubled times and were absolutely delighted that everything worked and the food and service remain outstanding. An excellent meal at very sensible prices. Will we come agin? Of course and looking forwards to it.

Excellent service - spotlessly clean - very friendly whilst remaining professional - cup of tea and crumble was the order of the day for us and it was delicious.

I visited earlier today and so glad I looked on TripAdvisor before travelling to Northumberland. The food,service and atmosphere were spot on. I will definitely return, it would be worth the drive from Manchester! I had scallop, pork belly, black pudding and pea purée to start and then seafood risotto.

We had booked a table after reading the fab reviews and were not disappointed. Jasper's really is fine dining. Excellent food, service and ambience and the music was right up my street. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed mains of seafood linguine and surf n turf, both excellent. A chat with with Ryan, the owner/chef ( a very personable guy) finished off the perfect evening. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Amazing lunch at Jaspers - we were looked after from the moment we walked in to when we left. The food was absolutely delicious, scallops, mussels, oysters followed by catch of the day monkfish. Highly recommended!
