Harden's survey result
Summary
This “lovely” family-run pub in a “wonderful setting” on the bracing Northumberland coast was originally opened in 1847 by Charles Archbold. The fish-centric menu includes Craster kippers from the L Robson & Sons smokehouse, just opposite. Top Tips: “the fantastic queen scallop popcorn” – and “do walk to Embleton Bay while you’re there!”.
Summary
A “lovely-looking pub in a beautiful location”, next to a harbour on the spirit-raising mid-Northumberland coastline, and opposite the iconic L Robson & Sons ‘Craster Kipper’ smokehouse; “wonderful” fish is the order of the day, unsurprisingly, with both smoked versions and salmon sarnies exemplary.

Summary
“Perched on the edge of mid-Northumberland’s dramatic coastline, this former pub opposite the world-famous L Robson & Sons ‘Craster Kipper’ smokehouse” (as per the name, seafood features heavily on the menu) offers “great cooking” that’s “excellent value” too.
