Charltons in Northumberland

Called in here this morning after a beach walk with the dogs.So welcoming ,made us feel really at home.Delicious coffees and really tasty bacon sandwiches. Will certainly be back.

I don't like leaving bad reviews, and usually give places the benefit of the doubt but my experience here was awful. We visited the cafe after a trip to the beach. Our order was taken and after 30-40 minutes with no sign of anything coming out of the kitchen, I asked if it would be long and was told 15-20 minutes. After an hour, I asked if the food was being cooked because if not, we would ask for a refund and go elsewhere. I was assured that it was underway. It took an hour and a half for four plates of chips with cod bites to arrive. When my meal was delivered, the pie was ice cold in the middle and it was mince beef and not steak as I asked for. I had to get a refund. Very disappointing. I'm not sure if it was the length of time waiting, but everyone was cold and sitting in coats by the end, so I couldn't even give high marks for a comfortable atmosphere.

This cafe / fish and chips shop is brilliant, the service first class ( not been in the bar/ restaurant) will try soon. I would recommend to anyone who are in the area with out fail

Food is exceptional, all home prepared and cooked, staff are amazing and can't do enough for you, you will travel a long long way to find food and staff as good as this place and if your into your football and nostalgia this place is a must, place is owned by John Charlton son of the one and only Jack, the pool room is full of pics and action shots of Jack and Brother Bobby, some fantastic action pics involving them both, Jack, Leeds Utd and Bobby, Man Utd.

One of the best Sunday roasts I've ever had

Really nice Sunday lunch and dessert

Lovely atmosphere, pleasant staff and fabulous food

Loved it. Good food, friendly, helpful staff. Real golden jem this place.

Called in for a bite to eat , excellent place , handy for the beach at Cambois , free car park over the road , playground , seating inside and outside there is a snack bar , fish and chips shop and a pub there , well recommend this place ,

Advertise that fish and chips is not served after 4 please. Pretty frustrating driving 15 minutes to find this out when your Google states open until 10pm

Really friendly helpful staff food very tasty Marked down a star as the outside seating is minimal most of which is broken . Disappointing when you want to sit out on a sunny day

Not very hygienic. Electric hand drier in ladies not working - no alternative means of drying hands after using toilets.

Excellent lunch really friendly thank you

Bought a pint of Carling. It was awful. Took it back swapped no problem for Coors. Barmaid poured that in the sink. Exchanged for Moretti. It was awful too. Won't be buying draught beer in here again!

Food appalling,never ever again

Food was delicious home cooked food great service the only thing I would say the toilets let this place down

After a walk on the beach we popped in to this famous place and it was amazing. We were welcomed by the host and served really quickly We had a little 3 year old with us and she was welcomed too. Food was amazing and service was great. Really lovely place. Granddaughter was thrilled with her ice-cream. Everything you need for a relaxing lunchtime. Worth the trip from Birmingham. Thanks to all

Excellent lunch today. We ate in the pub. Steak pie was delicious, Fish & chips were tasty and huge. The Gammon was excellent with 2 eggs. Great friendly service.

food hot and tasty giant portions

Great people, great food right next to the beach.

Always been one of our favourite places. I like the improvements beeing made in the back yard... Looking forward to the finishing touches.... Toilets could do with a revamp though. Other than that great place to chill, eat and play pool should you wish

Nice no fuss bar with food area for chip shop fare... Good portions, food is very tasty and kids portions available for the younger ones. Cooked to order ans very reasonably priced. Nice coffee too. Bear to beach. Plenty of parking and tables outside if the weather is good. .

Food has always been very good there.

Lovely pub. I got there just after they stopped serving food sadly but the pint was lovely and the people were friendly, there were even cute dogs in there :)

Really great Sunday lunch which was reasonably priced by friendly staff in a proper pub. Not to mention 100 yards from a glorious beach. See you again.

Went today after taking dogs for a walk and we tried the burgers and wow it was the best burger I've ever had.i will be back again soon X

The steak pie was beautiful and rich and the chips were crisp. I had the sticky toffee pudding with custard. The staff were very helpful and friendly would be going back there again.

What used to be a hidden gem, has unfortunately now gone right down hill. We stopped off the pick up fish & chips, they were the worst we had ever had in our whole lives. The fish was borderline cooked and very shiny, stodgy batter that was thick, no crispiness whatsoever, and I felt sick trying to eat it. The fish batter was paler than the chips. We binned both meals. AVOID.

Need to cook fish A LOT longer, got it home and the fish was barely cooked. Batter was lightly toasted flour and the fish was just cooked, a little slimy and not as glossy white as it should be. Chips also well under and not crispy at all.

Took the dog out for a walk on Cambois beach. Tide out, a terrific place to let your dog run free. For lunch we had fish and chips at Shack @ the beach adjoining Charltons. The food was excellent, best fish and chips I have had for many a year. We were made very welcome, the dog was also welcomed and provided with a large dog biscuit free gratis. The Shack is quite rustic no airs and graces but it provides good food, VERY reasonably priced, and a friendly warm space after a winters walk on the beach. I would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely place. Fantastic staff, unfortunately the food was not so good.

Very friendly staff, prices reasonable, will be back to try the food and a game of pool.

Always a friendly bar...good beer and fish & chips ..friendly people

Friendly and supportive staff. We got here with the intention to have lunch and was told the kitchen got burnt yesterday. I sympathize with them. But we were told that we can order fish n chips. Mehn! We ate and ate and was overly excited at the meal even though none of us finished their meal. I will eat their cod fish and chips over and over. We got two cods and several other dishes. We were five but ordered 6 different dishes and got 5. When we realized that the 6th was missing, we called one of the staff who apologized, got the meal after few minutes and told us not to pay for it. I wished I could give more. I highly recommended this place for their kind and helpful service and I will sure visit again. Thank you

We often come here with work with a gentleman we support with Autism & L D. Food is delicious. You may have to wait as it is cooked from scratch. Good prices, tasty food & good selection.Highly recommend this pub

Took my mother here for lunch today. The barman was very friendly and helpful. We both had Tuscan chicken and chips and it was delicious - best chips I've ever had. Had a good walk along the coast afterwards.

Lovely haven on a wild day by the sea, staff were lovely,food was great and company was really friendly

Funky Cafe bar restaurant near to Cambois beach

Good service friendly staff good food

Scrumptious Fish Derks and mushy peas, mahussive portions. Sarah and staff are so friendly and decor is fantastic and quirky and locals are lovely too. Dog friendly and lots of tourists visit too ⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️👌😋

Great. Value for money and good location.

Nice after a dog walk on the beach. Coffee is quality.

Great meal at good price. Friendly staff, great service.

Called in for coffee, but stayed for Fish chips.

Considering we booked a table in advance I was disappointed to be told we had to wait as there was non available, eventually was given a table but no menu had to look around to find one. We ordered starters and main course then waited and waited until the starters appeared but NO CUTLERY I had to ask at the bar for some we then waited another age to have the dishes removed then another wait for the main course to arrive but guess what NO CUTLERY, then another wait to have the dishes removed and order some sweets after another long wait the sweets turned up and guess what NO CUTLERY once again a search for a member of staff to get some spoons. The food was good but the service!!!! Staff training seems to be lacking

Nice after a long walk on the beach

Booked a table in advance for 5. When we arrived the staff looked totally lost when I said we had booked, there was no tables available so we waited until one became vacant once we sat down there was no menu to choose a meal eventually the waitress took our order for starters and mains after a long wait we were given the starters…NO CUTLERY had to find some at the bar. We then waited quite a long time for someone to remove the dishes and bring our main courses guess what NO CUTLERY again we had to wait for member of staff passing to ask. Once again a long wait before the table was cleared and was told to order the sweet course at the bar but after attempting that staff member came to the table to complete the order after another eternity the sweets arrived BUT guess what NO CUTLERY once again we had to find a member of staff to get some spoons by this time it was over one and a half hours after our booked time to receiving the sweet course The food was very nice, it’s the lack of service that needs addressing staff training would help

Fantastic food lovely place and pet friendly 5min walk to beach has kids play area

Great pub and marvellous food, cooked freshly so lovely and hot. Good choice. Large portions so go hungry!

Generally sit in the courtyard outside with the dogs. Great enclosed area with plenty of seating. Food is great and very reasonable. Lush stop off after a good walk on the beach

Great for a quick coffee after a stroll along the beach.

Excellent.sat outside with takeaway sausage chips..

We spent 2 days up at Cambois soaking up the sun and enjoying Charltons amazing fish and chips. Honestly the best chips you can find anywhere. Your iced coffee’s are pretty moreish too.

Food was lovely. Staff were friendly. Definitely going back and would recommend

Popped in for a coke and sat outside with my dogs ,got served quickly

Lovely find, went for lunch with my parents and the food was great and hot. Staff were lovely x

The lamb Sunday dinner was awesome will be back xx

Popped in after a long walk along beach,which is beautiful, I had a cup of tea which was made with good teabags and I was able to have it as I enjoy ,strong and dark. My partner had a cold can we shared a large plate of chips and a roll each . Fresh home cut chunky chips ,yum they where to die for and very reasonably priced . Definitely recommend

Dog friendly and does a lovely puppachino for my beagle. Lovely well mannered girls serving, my partner ordered a nice sausage sandwich to share with the dog.

Went for lunch today with hubby and friends. Lush food, service and atmosphere. Really enjoyed ourselves

Excellent location, fantastic food I will definitely be going back.

Proper sunday lunch with good fast service. Dog friendly and good prices. Probably the best sunday lunch in the area.

Amazing venue, adding to what is also a fantastic beach. Staff very friendly, fantastic pool table and the Fish and chips are up there with the best I've had.

Lovely meal, I had scampi and my partner had the steak & ale pie and the homemade chips were DELICIOUS! There was plenty other choices on the menu im looking forward to trying! Dog friendly, lovely staff! We both enjoyed the whole experience! Brilliant location, beautiful beach for the dog walk then straight in for some food! What's not to like!

Great food. Very tasty, good sized portion. Friendly, accommodating staff. Will be back soon

Been today for lunch ,always had good food ,but today was very poor I had beef sandwich and chips ,there was about 8 slices of beef in sandwich it was awfull all fatty and chewy I told staff but nothing off our bill won't be back for food

Nice place done out well and food is good but it's to dog friendly! was in yesterday and literally counted 13 dogs in the place and personally I don't think you should allow dogs in restaurants, great places lose the dogs!

I waited here for 1 hour 20 minutes for take out meal when I got it the chips were cold and scrappy very disappointing overall

Great food - great staff - VERY dog friendly during the week. Think Sunday is understandably a dog free day

Had the lamb dinner and it was amazing

Nice friendly beautiful coast view Never had food re: AVG.rating

Young girl serving extremely helpful and polite- food freshly cooked -hot/tasty/good value for money ,lovely cups of tea.Toilets very clean also - rounded off our trip to the beach nicely- will definitely return .

Tremendous sausage buttys to be honest well worth the money and marvellous latte's to go with them ,the staff were so polite and service was exceptional be more than happy to return in the future

Had family out for dinner was happy overall

Visited for lunch on a bleak day - few customers. Interesting decor and good bar service. Clean loos! Food came slowly and was clearly fresh cooked. Excellent quality cod and chips. With a couple of non-alcoholic drinks about £23 for two of us. Right good value.

Nice place I believe Jack Charlton once owned it but now it's in the hands if his son Nice community pub good food

Had a really lovely meal, scampi portions were very generous the homemade chips were really tasty, good value and will be back to try their sunday lunch... my partner has mash with homemade steak pie, was delicious..great value and nice to have homemade food .... Definitely recommend

When in the area visiting its the go to pub for Sunday dinner , can't be beaten

Lovely location been a few times last visit my fish n chips were not as good as previous will eat there again though

My family and I visited today all the way from the west of Ireland (on a North of England trip). The venue was very easy the find and the welcome was very warm. The selection of beers and wines was excellent and the freshly prepared food was wonderful. I would highly recommend this place and thank you to Mr Charlton for being such a great host.

Keep changing times of when thet are serving food,our third time there now won't go back again

Nice sandwich. Staff pleasant and helpful. Good atmosphere. Recommended for sure.

Following a walk on Cambios beach with friends we had lunch and coffee. Fish was massive and in a nice crunchy batter and the chips could feed two. Staff were friendly delivering everything to the table even the coffees.

I turned up at 7pm on a Friday night fir a date night to be told it stopped serving at 5.30pm.

We had drinks, chips and cookies. Chips were a nice big portion. Service was good.

N9t serving food on a Saturday night

Fish and chips was lovely. Large portions 👍🏻

Shocking visited Sunday 11th September 22 @2pm Took a de-tour whilst travelling up into Northumberland after seeing reviews. Initially wanted a Sunday lunch but was told it was currently booked up but the fish and chip part was available. So we ordered fish and chips and what a disappointment the staff were friendly but the place was not very clean and poor table set up this includes the Sunday lunch part. The fish and chips were terrible I ordered haddock which was grey and just all batter which was rock hard and the chips very pale and greasy. Left most of the meal and was extremely disappointed. The place is dirty and very overrated although in a nice spot near the beach. Will certainly not call again.

Terrific fish and chips. Fresh and delicious.

Excellent experience, fantastic food and excellent menu. Highly recommended!

What a change I often visited cambois took my little girl to the beach then popped into charltons fish and chips were old style out of this world can't remember when i had them like this last, then a take out coffee and my kid had ice cream and a walk on the beach made a perfect day 😀

Nice bar beside the coast . Staff really friendly and helpful and lovely food

I have to tell you I love fish More so you get a great quality one Not just the fish (massive) Chips fab (loads) Mushy peas loads n lush I recommend to everyone Best I’ve had in years Great value Hi and try You WONT be disappointed The staff are friendly Great service 💯 mint

A good place to call into for refreshments after coming off the beach.

Charlton's is always a firm favourite of mine and my husband's. Food is delicious and service is quick. We visited there for fish and chips on Thursday having not visited since the start of the pandemic and it's still great.

How fantastic to actually find a good old proper pub with great home cooked food and selection of drinks , staff very good lovely atmosphere looking straight out to the beach and to be owned by probably the most famous geordies son (Jackie charlton) we were in our element.good old British pub loved it.
