About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Excellent place to eat and drink. Great atmosphere with live music. Restaurant was lovely with great views and superb food. I had local seafood which was beautiful and my husband had the fish pie which he said was full of seafood and delicious.

    Fabulous venue. Food was fantastic. The world famous crab sandwich was worth the trip itself. Staff were great but understandably busy on a bank holiday Monday. All in all great value for top notch grub. We will be back.

    We had a dog so sat in the bar area. Perfectly suitable and relaxing. Great service and delicious food. We opted for the scampi & fish cakes. Both served with chips & fresh side salad. We’re always sure to eat here when we’re up this way.

    Overall very good, only very minor criticism is the bread on the sandwiches, which in my view is a bit thick. Other than that the quality was excellent as was the service and ambience

    Our second time here on a visit to Alnwick and explored the surrounding areas. The food here is lovely - I’d recommend the Ploughman’s. Great service, a full bar and views of the sea whilst you eat. Basically everything you want in a seaside pub. It’s not exactly cheap but I would say it’s worth what they charge. I’d go a third time for sure!
