About this restaurant

  • Dog-friendly
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Soak up our friendly service and homely charm when nestled in this stunning roadside pub in the heart of Amble harbour town. Here at The Wellwood Arms, we are the perfect retreat to sit back, relax and indulge in our delicious food with the perfect drink in hand. Originally built as a farmhouse for Link House Farm, one of the three farms which made up early Amble, the pub is one of the oldest buildings in the whole of the town! 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. Using the most seasonal ingredients and decadent flavours, there's a dish for every desire. Turn your fleeting visit into a welcomed stay by resting your head in one of our four comfortable family ensuite rooms. All decorated with cosy interiors and homely touches you'll be able to unwind in comfort and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere in a home away from home.

    We have visited the pub several times over the past few years for a family Sunday lunch and always had a good time. The food is always good but sadly on this occasion there was a local man who was very loud and used bad language which we felt made the atmosphere quite difficult.....we ate quickly , paid & left and not sure we will revisit if the clientel stays the same....which is quite sad when we always enjoyed it. Staff were nice but maybe a word to this guy may have been useful.

    This was an enjoyable experience with good traditional pub food and reasonably priced. Service was friendly and prompt other than desserts that took a while. Only very minor negatives were being seated next to an out of use serving area and happy house music from the 90’s that was being played loudly from the kitchen. Overall though I’d recommend this place and it was refreshing to actually do good pub food without trying to pretend to be a high end restaurant.

    We attended the quiz, while we were on holiday in Amble. The staff were very friendly and we would highly recommend and would return next time in area.
