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.

    Amazing fish menu as you would expect! Not great for vegetarians - a bit more thought and choice needed (lots of families and groups have non-meat eaters). Friendly service and brilliant food for 3 out of the 4 of the party..

    The food is absolutely delicious, excellent prompt service, we come every year and would come more often if we could. You cannot beat the food for flavour. Highly recommended.

    Another delicious meal at The Jolly Fisherman. Service was professional, fast and efficient. The view from the restaurant with the wild crashing waves was spectacular. Can be relied upon to create the perfect start to our regular short breaks. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else. It always meets our needs.

    Great food and very welcoming. Beautiful views of the sea and friendly atmosphere. Enjoyed visiting again and the food was wonderful as always. We all had different things from roast beef to crab sandwiches. Everything was delicious and in generous portions. Left feeling very satisfied and wanting to come back soon.

    Always enjoy it here but I now find the menu too limited, no steak, fish & chips, fish curry or Devilled crab as in the past.
