Baron Armstrong, engineer and industrialist, who in the 1890s began its renovation and refurbishment. This love of Bamburgh was passed down through the family to the late Lord Armstrong, who personally oversaw the completion of his ancestor's dream. Today, Bamburgh Castle is still the home

m tnsited the castle had just closed for the win­


ter months. After a walk along the beach we were all


ready for a good meal. Blacketts Restaurant is run by Hans Norenberg who is front of house while his wife, Jean, does all the cook- ing.Their recently refurbished award-win­ ning licensed restaurant is in the centre of Bamburgh. Our party enjoyed their 'various dishes, but


my husband in particular raved about the signature dish of the house, deep-fried Sea- houses smokie in batter, served with a cucumber dressing. Carol and Jo enjoyed loin of pork, smoked bacon steak and pork and chive sausage while the remainder had vari-


' ous steaks, superbly cooked and served. Par­ ticularly good were the specialist potatoes which accompanied the main dishes, these were the variety Ratte, grown in the Borders at Tiptoe Farm; very delicious.
