| I’ve always loved the North East, so much so we relocated to Amble last year (still posting as Barrow beer hunter for now though!).. Okay, so I visited this pub a few times 20 years ago and loved it, and pleased to report it hasn’t changed.. Tucked away in the corner of the square, only a stones throw from Embleton bay, it’s still frequented by mostly walkers on this amazing stretch of coast.. They brew there own beer now, and on my visit on a cold, snowy (but sunny) January day the beers were Ale-lelujah Christmas beer & ship hop ale, but I went for Sea dog stout, that was excellent.. roaring log fire, friendly, great atmosphere.. Nice stop on a Dunstanburgh loop walk.. Barrow_Beer_Hunter - 5 Jan 2026 22:12 |
| A great place to have a drink at when walking from Beadnell to Craster as we did a week ago. I tried the house Ship Hop Ale and the Red Herring - the first was average to good, the second was better. At the moment, it is outdoor service only and they take your order at one window and you collect drinks/pay at another. Food is collected from a third. It all seemed to work quite well although queues did form during our hour there. paul_d102 - 22 Jun 2021 19:00 |
| Amazing place. Quite hard to get to, unless you are walking! There is no parking immediately near the properties and a pay and display car park at the top of the hill. When you arrive, there is a cluster of white washed former fishermens cottages and the pub is in the corner. Inside - a lovely log burner, bar at one end and rows of big, six seater tables. There is a brewery on site, but I stuck with the Farne Island - which I am starting to love. A great experience. Mappiman - 8 May 2019 18:38 |
| Lovely small pub in a great setting, just off a magnificent beach. There are seats out front or, if there are taken, plenty of grass to sit on and admire the view. Brew their own beer (and sell bottles to take away). I sampled and enjoyed the Red Herring, a ruby ale, and there was a stout and at least one other as well as other more standard stuff on tap. It does get busy but it's very civilised, with a patient queue (rather than a scrum where those with loudest voices and biggest elbows get served first). We visited on a lunchtime when I don't think they take bookings for food, but they serve until about 2.30pm. I enjoyed a good Ploughmans with big helpings of two cheeses from local Doddington Dairy and excellent home-made chutney. For those who are bothered, they do take payment by card now !

| Visited on a very cold May Saturday lunchtime. The place was faultless. They don't take cards but this was the only minor problem. Beer was excellent. Food was served promptly and was delicious. Staff were knowledgable and helpful. Looking forward to returning. Beverley_boy - 20 May 2012 20:54 |
