Records dating back as far as 1842 show that the farm was owned by a Mrs Maria Wellwood - a possible explanation for the pub's name today! Our traditional pub classics are expertly crafted from our seasonal menus and the bar is crammed with local ales and tipples to tempt any taste buds.

We booked here ahead of our break in Amble. This was our first night here & we weren't disappointed. Decent range of beers, lagers and wines. Quite an extensive choice on the menu. Quality of food very good, complemented by friendly, attentive staff. Not in our opinion ideal for people wanting 'fancy' or 'exotic' food but if, like us, you like excellent quality, good old fashioned English grub then you will find this pub to your liking.
