The Castle was closed up due to the weather and I was rather disappointed, having traveled from Canada to see it, so the hope was to at least have some local comfort cuisine and a pint to drown my sorrows. The northerner style fish soup and a pint of Bamburgh Amber was exactly what I needed. Cheers!
Typical British weather...down poor with a dog! The pub welcomed us with open arms! So friendly! Doggy ice-cream. BUT...The Classic Fish Soup stole the show! You will not be disappointed. Mountains of fresh fish in a tomato (Boston Chowder style) and tarragon rich soup.
Staff was lovely, as well as the food. We came in on a rainy afternoon after visiting the castle. The pumpkin sweet potato soup was just the thing to warm me up. Let's not forget that gleaming amber pint behind the soup. I was a big fan of this Bambourgh Amber from Born Brewery that is kept on tap.
Staff made us very welcome on a rather cold and very wet day. Lunch for 5 served up promptly with a smile. Good choice of real beers and food enjoyed by all.
We went in here a lot in our week stay. For food and drinks or just drinks. Lovely crab sandwiches and prawns on jacket potato. Lemon meringue was well worth ordering and sticky toffee pudding. Loads of tables to eat inside and outside. Lovely friendly service and staff and felt very comfortable in this pub.
Quiet when I arrived, good atmosphere and pleasant service. Real ale range limited to choice of two but good ale Did not eat so cannot comment. Extremely dog friendly.
Very nice pub for a relaxing drink & meal. We ate here several times with our dog & were always made to feel welcome. The meals were very reasonably priced & delicious.
There is a large garden for when the weather is good.
Absolutely amazing food. Was quiet when we went there and the catering staff were amazing in refilling salt and drinks.
Visited on a sunny Sunday dinnertime at 1 o'clock, needless to say it was busy. Most tables had either been booked or occupied but we found a table outside which was fine. Ordered food. ,two crab sandwiches, a coffee and a pint for £25, at the bar with a short wait. Food arrived after about 10 mins and was really good as was the coffee. Rest of the menu looked to be good pub grub. Would happily visit again.
We had the absolute pleasure of dining in this beautiful Hotel last night. This was the final leg of a 630 mile road trip and i can't praise the place highly enough.
The staff were super friendly and accommodating.
The food was out if this world, we had the fish stew and Ribeye steak.
We really can't wait to visit again soon for really good quality service all round.
Kind regards
