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.

    My wife had the crab salad, my daughter and I had the seafood platter to share and my son in law had a hamburger. We also had the kipper Scotch Eggs as starters. The food was superb and very well presented.

    Lovely restaurant and bar, views are amazing from the restaurant. We visited for my 50th birthday and were not disappointed. We had the soup of the day & Devilled Crab to start, followed by Smoked Haddock and Salmon fishcakes & Fish Finger sandwich, everything was lovely even down to the side salad. Staff are very friendly, we didn't feel rushed even though they were extremely busy..as always! We have eaten here quite a few times and have never been disappointed. The signature crab sandwich is also fabulous. All in all one of my favourite places to be definitely worth the journey.
