Explore North Berwick

Eating out

Seafood at the harbour, cafés and bakeries along the High Street, and enough choice that you do not have to cook.

Rocketeer Restaurant at the Harbour in North Berwick

North Berwick eats well for a town of its size. The harbour is the place for seafood, and in season there is usually somewhere doing it more or less straight off the boat with a view of the Bass Rock. The High Street has the coffee shops, bakeries and delis, and a handful of bars and restaurants for the evening.

It is a mile down the hill from the park, so the sensible plan is to walk down and get a taxi back. Most places will take a booking, and in July and August you will want one.

At the harbour

Seafood with a view of the islands, and somewhere to sit outside as well as the Seabird centre for exploring and food!

On the High Street

Plentiful with coffee shops, bakeries, delicatessens, speciality food shops, plus bars and restaurants for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.

Cooking in

There is a Co-op on the High Street and a Tesco and Aldi up the hill for a proper shop.  As well as numerous takeaway shops.
