Welcome to The Jolly Fisherman, Craster. Combining stunning sea views with delicious home cooking and beautifully kept ales, this is a tastefully refurbished pub with tradition and character at its heart. We’ve taken great care to retain the charm of this historic pub with stone flagged floors, low beamed ceilings and comfortable seating. In the winter months, you can relax by one of our roaring open fires and in the summer enjoy the view from one of the most spectacular beer gardens in Northumberland.

    We really enjoy coming to this pub for lunch or dinner. The quality of the food is high, the cooking is excellent, we don’t mind paying that little bit more for what we get. On top of that the service staff are friendly and attentive, the surroundings relaxing. If you sit in the restaurant section the views out to sea are incredible.

    A delicious meal in an amazing location. We had been told about the amazing food, location and atmosphere to be found at The Jolly Fisherman and it exceeded our expectations. The beautiful drive along the Coast Road, the unspoiled beauty of Craster, the fantastic food, and the wonderful atmosphere of, and views of the sea from The Jolly Fisherman should not be missed by anyone visiting Northumberland. The staff were friendly, attentive and professional. Special thanks to Kirsty and Joanna who turned a great experience into an unforgettable experience. We will be returning as often as we can. John, Tina and Jackie.

    We live reasonably close and like to visit periodically. We particularly look forward to the seafood, home cooked chips and the atmosphere. The bar was very busy with customers getting tetchy about who was first in the queue. Once sat down the atmosphere and service were very good. My seafood was lovely however the chips, a major attraction, were poor. They bore no resemblance to the description on the menu. Overall we felt the food was definitely not worth the money.

    Staff are friendly and attentive. Service was very good. The food, well what can I say but, outstandingly good and well presented. I had the fish pie which loaded to the top, the large prawn was very flavoursome.
