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.

    Last time we had the roast, tonight was the fish, excellent choices both times. Well worth the visit. Definitely would recommend it.

    Early family dinner with two young boys in a party of 8. Excellent choice of starters and mains promised a lot and happily delivered. Drinks were good too. Enjoyed ourselves so much we ran to pudding, which were also worth eating. Service was good. Overall cost reflected the quality of the food. Being able to park outside was the icing on the cake.

    The noise from the kitchen staff from the access door behind table 20 was very off putting. It sounded like a children’s playground. The windows needed a good clean too. The food was OK but the staff need more training.

    Excellent as always, lovely cosy pub area and beautiful dining overlooking the sea. Spoilt for choice with the menu eventually opted for devilled crab toast and mussels for starters and both went for the luxury fish pie. Could not fault the food and lovely friendly service. Highly recommend

    Very nice ambience overlooking the harbour & the sea on a stormy day. 4 of us had the lobster which we enjoyed but the chips that were served were disappointing. We also had the ice cream for dessert but the caramel sauce served was a little under generous for the price.

    Was a rainy weekday afternoon and the was very quiet just one table preparing to leave. The service was immaculate, the food (3 out of 4 had the fish platter) amazingly good with a great ambiance. So pleased we showed our Northumberland cuisine to our Southern guests of course they now want to live in God’s Country.
