You can watch the causeway tides on webcam at this sociable mainland pub 1 mile northeast of the A1 turn-off (2 miles west of the island). Lindisfarne seafood, including lobster, is a menu highlight, as are house-speciality burgers utilising farm produce. There's a kids' play area. It also has 12 tent pitches (from £7) and nine caravan sites (from £25).
