The Jolly Fisherman Pub in Northumberland

Enjoyed a family meal here on a mid week evening. Restaurant opened at 5pm, and it was popular but never crowded. Very comfortable.The menu is good and varied and the food was well cooked and presented.The restaurant has lovely views over the east coast, and I'd recommend the place just for the setting alone.Service was faultless. Car parking on site is limited, but there is a public car park nearby.

Nice cosy pub, very busy but managed to get a table. Had their famous crab sandwich which was extremely tasty! The rest of the menu looked good too. I would recommend a visit if you are in the area

Outstanding meals, drinks,service and location.We were a party of four who enjoyed our visit to the Jolly Fisherman and all agreed that the meals were of a very high quality and that the menu was varied and reasonably priced given the quality. Seafood is a speciality.The staff were friendly and very efficient and the venue was cosy with incredible sea views.The bar has a great selection of real ales and wines (Booking is recommended)Well done to all concerned

The food and service here were so good we had to go twice. If you go for the fish and seafood, it is fresh and delicious. the rest of the food probably is as well, but we couldn't get beyond the fish for the main meals, though their ploughman's for lunch was one of the best I've ever tasted in 64 years!

Had the most delicious meals in the dog friendly room. Started with scallops popcorn, haddock chowder, crab soup and for main the bass and fish board. All cooked to perfection. Enjoyed it so much we booked a table 2 days later on our return journey. Very busy pub - even on a Monday. Staff are very friendly. Compliments to the chef.

Food is always great here. Fantastic fresh seafood. I had the fish pie today but I love the Craster Kipper too! We went on a really busy Saturday, glad we booked a table. Despite it being busy the staff were excellent and friendly. Also they were brilliantly knowledgeable about allergens so it's safe for Gluten Free/Coeliacs to eat there stress free, loads of the menu can be adapted. We'll be back for sure!

Online booking requires a credit card in advance and threatens a charge of £10 per person for a cancellation at less than 24 hours notice. I have no problem at all with an obligation to cancel if I can't attend the booking but I object strongly to this level of financial coercion and penalty, which I regard as wholly unreasonable. If others are prepared to take the same attitude, the restaurant may be persuaded to adopt a more proportionate stance.

Our fourth visit here and still it impresses us every time. Met up with folk we hadn't seen for a couple of years for lunch and after we had finished our delicious meal we were very much left alone.Food here is great and plentiful too, our table chose smoked salmon and prawn cocktails, mussels, seafood platters, scampi, the cod loin with dauphinoise potatoes and the house burger. All were served quietly and quickly and hot.Staff were attentive without being intrusive

This is a traditional pub by the seaside and if you can get a seat on the sea side the views are stunning.We have previously weather here and van happy with the foodGood choice of beer but prices are slightly higher than you might expect.Still a good pub

Currently visiting home from Canada over the Christmas period and am extremely happy we came to the Jolly Fisherman.Firstly, my fish pie was a magical mystery tour of various delicious seafood, and an absolute taste sensation.The entire table thoroughly enjoyed everything that was ordered.Secondly, even though the establishment was understaffed due to some having to isolate, management had pulled staff from their other locations, and our server in particular; Sam, was fantastic. Knowledgeable of the menu, exceptionally friendly and polite and generally pleasure to have serve us. I'm sure that Sam is a truly valuable asset to this establishment.Third, thank you to Sam, the Chefs and all the staff at the Jolly Fisherman for making our evening as wonderful as it was.Cheers to you all.
