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.

    The fish pie and chowder were ‘to die for’ . View was perfect and the waiting staff were friendly and respectful.

    Been a number if times over last couple of years and food really let us down today. Lamb, so tough and pork was all fat. I know this can happen with meat, but even the roasties were hard on the inside and cardboard like instead of crispy, Surrounds beautiful, staff and service brilliant, food poor.

    Lovely ambience, friendly helpful staff but limited menu. Cod dish very good. Mussels and chips nice but over priced. Calamari wasn’t fresh which we would have expected for the price. Not our first time here, was always a favourite but not in a rush to return.

    Light lunch with a pint and a half of the Pale (presume made by Timothy Taylor?) Crab soup delicious as ever. Kipper very fresh and beautifully cooked and the crab toast with jalapeños was good too.

    This is the second time we have eaten here. The fish pie is the best we have tasted! I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Always try and get into this lovely dog friendly pub when we visit the area, but never easy to book a table. Nice food as always but a bit pricey.
