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.

    Great food, great service and an amazing view. Ask for a window seat - it's worth it!

    We had Sunday dinner here in June - had a fantastic table with lovely sea views: 2 of us had the lamb dinner ( delicious), 2 the fish pie ( awesome). The beef dinner was disappointing ( fatty pieces of beef) but we mentioned this and it was deducted from the bill. Starters were also excellent - especially the devilled crab. Service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

    We love eating at the Jolly Fisherman and always make sure we book early to avoid disappointment. Staff are super friendly and the food is always fantastic. Sea food is exceptional and the view is stunning looking out over the sea. Nothing is ever too much trouble and staff are attentive and friendly.

    Had a good meal however we were a party containing 2 children and were not given children’s menus - thought maybe not available in the evening- noticed another table had them. Told it was too late to change their orders. Otherwise we enjoyed our food.
