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.

    An excellent meal in superb surroundings. Staff were pleasant and attentive. My only criticism was that the price of the starter was on the high side We have been to the Jolly many times and continue to enjoy the surroundings and food. Thanks Jolly Fisherman.

    This was by far the best quality and value for money restaurant that I’ve been to. The food was excellent and fresh. All 7 guests enjoyed their meals and we have rebooked for another evening to try other options on the menu

    This was our third visit to the Jolly Fisherman, and unfortunately a little disappointing this time. The crab soup which used to be very rich & creamy & filled with lots of pieces of crab, now is thin & watery, with only a few pieces of crab. I chose the cod with lobster sauce for main, again very disappointing, the sauce was a thin broth with a tiny pice of cod sitting in it. We will not be returning for a fourth visit, as the food is no longer worth the high price.

    The Jolly Fisherman is simply the best fish restaurant In Norhumbeland. Where else would my wife and I go for lunch to celebrate our 44 year wedding anniversary.

    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.
