Carnaby’s is owned by sisters Amelia and Linny whose family have farmed the beautiful countryside around Ellingham, Northumberland for almost 400 years. Carnaby’s was a dream of the families to create a stylish and modern destination eatery in North Northumberland. Situated alongside the A1 in the beautiful Ellingham countryside, Carnaby’s is more than just a café, it’s a destination named in honour of the sisters great-grandfather, Sir Carnaby Haggerston.  Amelia and Linny continue the legacy started by their mother and aunt in 2017. As passionate chefs, Amelia and Linny bring their culinary expertise to every dish, creating a truly special dining experience.
