A nice pub… but with the name ‘Middle Earth tavern’ it needs to be so much more! With a Gollum/Sméagol hanging sign, it’s pretty disappointing inside as there’s no further LOTR references. Quite odd. Very sanitised and with a strange table service setup (even just for drinks), we left feeling perplexed. Nice, but not nerdy enough.

We walked here from the town, and just dropped in for a drink. We didn’t go inside, as it was such a gorgeous day, we sat out the front of the pub in the sunshine.
The two girls who were serving were friendly and attentive, and the beer was in excellent condition.

Just called for a quick drink sat outside.
Table service is good and quick.
My wife went to the toilets and said they were clean and the inside looks very nice.

Have to take your own water for dogs and bowl they don’t provide it

I’d seen the Middle Earth pub advertised online and I was excited to go and have a drink there. I have to admit I was disappointed to see it was just a normal pub. I was expecting something more themed - other than the sign outside and the coincidental choice of serving golden pippin beer, there is nothing to do with Middle Earth on the inside.
That said, the young waitresses were very pleasant, there were good cocktails, nice fish tank and I had several nice beers. So if you are looking for a themed pub or experience go somewhere else, but if you want a good standard pub Middle Earth pub is worth a visit.

I had a cup of tea. When putting the milk in it seemed off as was floating. I told one of the staff and she apologised and got me another one. We had drinks there another day. All the staff were friendly and efficient. Lovely pub.

Immaculately clean and welcoming pub just that little further off the tourist trail but truly worth seeking out.
The beer is well kept. Terrace on the front.
Go find this gem.

My partner and I have came here for my birthday trip away, and we loved it! First time coming in and we were met with welcoming arms; the music was great, very diverse, the staff were excellent and FULL of conversation/ cheerfulness. Can’t thank them enough for making our stay so warming!! Josie was so lovely!! Definitely a welcoming young lady and so kind! There was also a lovely lady with blonde hair too who was full of good conversation; WE LOVE THE MINI CHEDDARS YOU RECOMMENDED ❤️

Great location right on the harbour. We sat outside and it was table service only, but the waitress was very attentive and always on her feet. Good selection of drinks.

We visited a couple of times and the servers are amazing. They greet you as you arrive and come to take your order extremely quickly. Very young and very good at their jobs.

What a cracking pub this is, we enjoyed a fine selection of real ales whilst sat outside enjoying the views of the river Esk estuary. The tables were scrupulously cleaned after each & every visitor, which was very reassuring. And the best bit is they are still serving drinks at the tables. Great staff, a real winner for me 👍

What a great find. It's out of the way of the crowds. Great beer at a good price and friendly helpful staff. Also has a sign with golum on it what's not to like

We booked the Middle Earth Tavern to host our pre-wedding gathering in April and they could not have been better.
We only thought 30 or so people would turn up but actually more like 50 people showed up. Gill and her staff where incredibly accommodating, despite the increased numbers and we had the best time.
The space upstairs was solely for our use and they put on an excellent spread of finger food for everyone. The space was perfect, the staff were brilliant and we had the best time. Thank you to Gill and her team
I cannot recommend the Middle Earth Tavern highly enough.

It was the Middle Earths first Sunday Lunch and it didn't disappoint. I had the beef and it was so tender, plenty of veg and a delicous cauliflower cheese and the yorkshire pud was spot on and homemade (no frozen here). Deffo be back and may even have room for a pudding next time. Staff were lovely and really helpful too.
Linda Brodie
lovely pub,lovely restaurant, we called in, in the afternoon to look at the menu, and the menu looked really nice,so we decided to eat there the same night, when we got there we were shown to our table and given our menu's (the staff were really nice and friendly) we were then told that nearly all of the options on the menu were not available, so we ended up ordering what we didn't want, we should have been told before we were seated that there was not a lot of choice as just about everything on menu had sold out wont be going there again
