  “Great little place for brunch, gets extremely busy. Steak and eggs were stunning and the full English was quality all good ingredients. Caught the cheese scones coming fresh out of the oven, well worth grabbing one to try. Would definitely go again”

  “Visited for brunch - the food was gorgeous and reasonably priced! We were sat outside as it’s not dog friendly inside, but there needs to be a cover as the birds were knocking the water from the drains everywhere which wasn’t ideal.”

  “UPDATE: Breakfast - the menu has plenty of choices from traditional to sweet. Cost was very reasonable 10-15£ per person, and the food was perfect. Marie is amazing (thank you) and again LeeAnn was running a tight ship. All the staff are amazing! Original Post: A wonderful find in Seaham. First Kate(?) and the other two beautiful ladies (LeeAnn and the barrister) were amazing, kind and very helpful. The food is amazing, so much to explore! Had the steak and fries, cooked perfectly, chips were crisp and hot :)) for desert creme brulee, which had that perfect crisp top. The restaurant is furnished with beautiful wooden tables (I'd love to buy one), beautiful lovely leather chairs (warm and welcoming). They have a table by the window and a two seat bar table in the opposite window. Highly recommend and will return to try other menu items!”

  “A lovely lunch with family. Service was excellent, it was very busy, but the staff still managed to be attentive and everyone had a lovely, friendly manner. Food is excellent, we had the fish chowder, philly cheese sandwhich and a buttermilk chicken sandwhich. Really nice hot coffee, iced tea was good too. Good portions, fresh salad and well presented. Highly recommend if you are in Seaham ❤️”

  “It is always a pleasant and delicious visit to this place. Definitely one of our fave breakfast places. Plenty of choice, food is always top notch and very tasty. Highly recommend, best to book, or you can chance a walk in but be prepared to be disappointed of they have to turn you away. It's an incredibly popular spot.”

  “Had a fantastic meal here with my wife today and enjoyed the seafood linguine. The place was busy, but we were lucky to get a table right away. There was a mix-up with our order, but the staff handled it quickly and even gave us a free tea each as a goodwill gesture. Great value at £34.90 for two meals and four cups of tea—plus, the seafood was fresh! We’ll definitely be back.”

  “We visited The Lamp Room in Seaham as a group of four adults and a toddler. The place was quite busy, but we were seated fairly quickly which was a good start. Unfortunately the service went downhill from there. We had to ask for a high chair and then waited another 15 minutes before anyone came back to our table. We eventually had to ask if there was a children’s menu as nobody offered one which given the fact we asked for a high chair may have triggered this. When we finally managed to place our order, it wasn’t checked back with us. The food then took a very long time to arrive and we ended up having to ask what was going on with it, not ideal when you’ve got a hungry toddler sat waiting. When the meals eventually arrived, one order was completely wrong and another had ingredients missing because they’d apparently run out of them. No one mentioned this beforehand or gave us the option to change the dish. On top of that, the food was pretty cold. We then had another long wait while the incorrect order was remade, by which time everyone else had already finished eating. The replacement meal was just okay a fairly dry chicken burger. Some of the staff were friendly, but the overall feeling was that sending back the wrong meal and asking about our order was somehow an inconvenience. Nothing was taken off the bill either we were just offered a Coke on the house. The toilets also weren’t great. They were quite messy and there was no soap in the men’s toilets, which is also where the baby changing facilities are. On the positive side, at least they do have baby changing available. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day, but overall it wasn’t a great experience. It felt like the place might have been a bit too busy for the staff to handle properly.”

  “Brought my son here for breakfast pre walk. Friendly staff giving the place a great atmosphere. I had eggs benedict my son had scrambled egg on toast. Eggs benedict is up there with the best i've had. (I've had a lot). My son ate his which is a great accolade. Would definitely co.e again to try lunch menu.”

  “Lovely little cafe/bistro. Clean and tidy inside. Table service was good but food did take quite a while to be delivered even though there were still empty tables. However, the food was delicious so well worth a second visit.”

  “Good service and good food at a reasonable price. We enjoyed our breakfasts at The Lamp Room. I had the normal breakfast, and my wife had the pancakes (which were too much for her to eat. ). We were both surprised at how busy it was .We got there about 9.15, and it was starting to fill up . We left after an hour and nearly all the tables were full.”
