Some patrons find the interior a bit dark and basic, which might not appeal to everyone. Still, many consider this part of its endearing charm. Additionally, there have been occasional service delays, particularly during peak times, but diners generally appreciate the staff's friendliness and willingness to rectify any issues promptly.
Dining experiences can vary, with some wishing for a wider menu selection. However, the quality of the dishes typically outweighs any minor shortcomings. Overall, most of the sentiments lean towards the positive end of the spectrum.

Lovely walk from here to Wansbeck country park, then back to the gorgeous beach and across the AI site to the coloured houses. Lovely Kelly's Kakeaway bakes stocked here. Nice staff

Friendly and supportive staff. We got here with the intention to have lunch and was told the kitchen got burnt yesterday. I sympathize with them. But we were told that we can order fish n chips. Mehn! We ate and ate and was overly excited at the meal even though none of us finished their meal. I will eat their cod fish and chips over and over. We got two cods and several other dishes. We were five but ordered 6 different dishes and got 5. When we realized that the 6th was missing, we called one of the staff who apologized, got the meal after few minutes and told us not to pay for it. I wished I could give more. I highly recommended this place for their kind and helpful service and I will sure visit again. Thank you

Such a lush place. Great staff, nice food. Chips are lovely. A bit basic and dark interior but it's part of the charm. Dog friendly too.

Only been in the shack alongside Charlton pub. Just recently discovered the area. Lovely friendly manageress who served me coffee & ice-cream for my grandson. Fabulous walk along beach with small kids park nearby. Real quiet, clean little gem on Northumberland coast. How glad I am that we found this place. My dog goes crazy on cambois beach, he just loves it & so do I. So many friendly doggie people to speak to on our walk from river wansbeck to North blyth if the tide is out. The Shack do amazing fish & chips when you've worked up an appetite. We are now firm fans of Sunday lunch at Charltons. Very tasty choice of 4 meats with good portions of vegetables served by very friendly lasses. Tomato soup starter is fabulous as is pudding especially apple crumble pie. Highly recommended.
