Food was really nice but the staff are terrible. The waitress raised her voice and told my 2 year old not to touch the plastic menu which was absolutely ridiculous I could understand if he was banging it off the table or throwing it around...but he wasn’t! Then she was complaining to other staff she couldn’t be bothered and was tired. All the staff stood chatting at the bar right next to our table complaining about other customers that asked where their coffee was. Everything seemed like it was too much of a hassle for them and they didn’t want to be there!More

Went in after watching the ferocious seas at Seaham Harbour and Marina. Lovely welcome, menu explained and drinks ordered and timely served. We ordered 5 Tapas which were all very good but could have be served a bit hotter. Service was friendly efficient and unobtrusive....Overall a lovely experience just need the food to be served a bit hotter.More

Following a walk along the sea front decided to call in for Sunday lunch, did not have a reservation but even though it was busy we were shown to a table quickly. Roast beef Sunday lunch with a lovely Yorkshire pudding (extra can be added)...and tasty gravy. Had room for a lovely sticky toffee pudding and coffee. Good friendly service and reasonably priced food.More

We often call into The Lamp Room for lunch when we are in Seaham and the food is usually very good. But today I got a goats cheese salad and thought it was very poor a large pile of rocket a few bits of beetroot...and a few pomegranate seeds and the cheese on top no dressing or pink onions as stated on the menu. For nearly £13 it certainly wasn't worth the money. I did tell the waiter my thoughts , who said I will let them know, and that was that.More

One of the best breakfasts of my life The miners Benedict was simply outstanding!! My partner loved her eggs Benedict The girls loved their pancakes 🥞 5 stars said Mia 😊 I can’t wait to come back asap 💜

We were a party of 6 for brunch on a Sat so was quite busy. Food was omelette which was quite dry, poached eggs tasted ok mushrooms on sourdough which was very very tough to cut through. Food tasted disappointingly average.

Called in without a booking and we got a table! The welcome was wonderful and the service was friendly & efficient! The menu choices were excellent without being over crowded for choice! The food was amazing, freshly cooked and seasoned to perfection! Totally worth a...visit!More

Where do I begin? Took 30 minutes to be reminded we ordered drinks. Then took another 10-15 minutes to get them. Loads of tutting and “we’re busy” fair enough…but don’t blame me! Only had 1 egg on my mates breakfast…plural! Should have been two. Then...I asked for some more toast at the end…he said “oh toast, that’ll be quite a good wait” how long does toast take! Attitude of staff absolutely stinks and on that basis I won’t be returning ! Shame. Cos’ nice food.More

Amazing breakfast/brunch menu. SW options, which is really great. It’s our new go to place for breakfast. Love the steak and eggs, hubby enjoys the Hangover breakfast, porridge is also excellent. If you’re in Seaham, go here. Visited for lunch too, the Seaham chowder is...outstandingMore

For simple, wholesome and tasty lunch, there’s plenty to choose from on the menu to satisfy all comers.

Popped in today for lunch and it was great. Staff are delightful, extremely personable and super efficient. Food was delicious. This cafe is very well run and certainly worth a visit.

Wonderful evening to celebrate my daughters Birthday, we are not local but had seen the reviews and thought we would book. We had tapas and cocktails, the service was fantastic and friendly. Order was taken quickly and food arrived shortly after. Food hot and tasty,...we enjoyed the tempura veg and the halloumi most! Already planning a return trip, highly recommend a visit!More
