Famous Fish and Chips by the Sea

The Jolly Fisherman in Craster is one of Northumberland's most famous pubs, known for its spectacular crab sandwiches and its position overlooking the tiny fishing harbour. After walking to Dunstanburgh Castle along the coast path, this is the perfect destination.

The pub is genuinely dog-friendly with a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. The beer garden overlooking the harbour is one of the finest pub settings in the north of England. Inside, the bar is simple and welcoming with local ales and a menu focused on locally landed seafood.

Craster is famous for its smoked kippers, and the smokehouse next door has been operating since 1856. The pub makes the most of this heritage with excellent fish dishes alongside traditional pub fare. Dogs receive water and biscuits as standard.
