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.

    Lovely Sunday dinner and the fish platter is incredible! Cauliflower cheese and beef on the Sunday dinner were perfect. The only tiny thing if I’m being picky is that it was quite cold in the bar area so either wrap up or ask for a table close to the fire.

    The service was quick and efficient, and the views are amazing from the restaurant. The crab sandwiches were disappointing, with thick dry bread and some limp red lettuce on the side.

    The food was excellent, but the.gluten free bread actually tasted like bread! The smoked salmon on the sandwiches was fresh and thick, and the prawn sandwich with Marie rose was said to be delicious. The only problem we had was ordering ice cream with chocolate sauce. Mine came with caramel, and when we questioned why the waitress said, the chef had indicated there was wheat in the sauce. Shame it wasn't mentioned on the menu. Will definitely book again, but the.menu needs to indicate what is GF and what isn't.

    The staff here are wonderful. So kind. We knocked a water jug off our table and caused pandemonium, but one of the servers (who I think might be the manager) handled the crisis so professionally - and very kindly. This was not our first visit and will not be our last. We love it here. The food is also fantastic, of course.
