First visit to this establishment after eating at other restaurants in the same group We went for Sunday lunch and we were very disappointed with the food .the roast lunch was at best tepid and the veg provided was truly overcooked We should have sent the meal back but chose not to.compared to other Marstons restaurants the quality of the main meals would only score a 4 out of ten On the bright side the staff that were serving were polite efficient and happy .

As always this is an honest review firstly I have not commented on the food for two reasons we are both vegan and the menu is very limited in that area and also it is very expensive, and this is my main issue with this establishment we called in on Saturday and it was fairly busy and we were served promptly with a warm welcome which is always the case here but this is not the issue the huge issue I have is with the price I ordered a large glass of Malbec and a 330 ml bottle of beck’s zero alcohol which came to an eye watering &13.85 that is absolute daylight robbery for standard drinks it is not as if they were anything flash, we left and went to weatherspoons which was absolutely rammed full and ordered two large glasses of merlot and two bottles of becks blue zero alcohol which came to &9.85 which is &4 cheaper for double the drinks I hope the management and owners read this review you should hang your heads in shame as you are clearly overcharging people and could so easily reduce your prices and be more competitive your prices are absolutely disgraceful it is a real shame people and places have to be so greedy as this is a lovely place with great staff but until it changes it’s exorbitant pricing policy we won’t be returning

Visited the Crows nest with a group from work for a leaving party. We had reserved a table which was set for us arriving. We had a quick check of the menu to see what was available. Me and a colleague decided to share the Chicken Platter. The food arrived quickly for everyone. The platter offered a good variety and was rather tasty. We stayed for a few more drinks and the pub had a nice atmosphere.

Have been visiting the Crows Nest for many years and will for years to come. Even though it is a number of miles from our home, we class it as our local. Right on the seafront and plenty of tables outside to enjoy the view. Always made to feel really welcome. Very chilled out and a great menu. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Pizza 🍕 was tremendous! The kids ate them so fast I didn't get a chance to get a photo. They said it was the best pizza they had had in ages... and they are pizza addicts! Service was really friendly and efficient. The dough balls came a bit undercooked for our liking so they brought us fresh ones without a second thought and they were delicious! Great value anyway but we also had a 30% off voucher so total bargain. Dogs allowed in the bar area which was perfect for us It's definitely a local pub so lots of friends meeting there as well as visitors. Not our vibe but each to their own so no criticism.

Staff were kind however through no fault of their own the standard of Sunday lunch was very poor, veg was not fresh, meat flavourless, gravy watery and flavourless and chewy microwaved yorkshire pudding all what can be described as a child's plate. Sorry to say

I came here for the first time with my partner. My partner said he came years ago and it was really good ! . I chose not to get the Sunday lunch because it all looked frozen veg etc. My partner got the Sunday lunch. It was big enough for a baby, I got the hunters chicken . This had frozen chips and onion rings. Was very poor. Portion sizes very very small- prices not reasonable So many amazing places in tbe north East for food . We will not be coming back . Service was good and my partner said the pint was good. My lattee was nice but again very very small ! . FROZEN OR TINNED FOOD SERVED

Absolutely fantastic! This brilliant family pub offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with incredibly helpful staff. They host wonderful community events throughout the year at an affordable price, which is especially appreciated during these challenging times. It’s truly a treasure to Seaham. The highlight was Santa Claus—he was amazing! He really engaged with the children, making the experience magical and memorable for everyone. A perfect place for families to gather and create special moments together.

Went here yesterday for food for an 18th birthday meal and ordered the hunters chicken, it was bland no flavour a tiny bit sauce with frozen chips. I have been up all night with stomach pains and diarrhoea. Also my wife’s food was the lasagna and she’s had stomach pains all night as well. We can’t understand as we’ve had food here before and it was good. The why has massively dropped

Myself and my wife, had a fantastic meal at The Crows Nest on Monday 4th November 2024. I had the mixed grill and she had the gammon steak, both followed by apple crumble. All the food was delivered quickly and our huge portions were both delicious and piping hot. To make things even better, I got 30% off the main meals...amazing. The whole setting off the pub is clean, relaxing and well presented. A lovely setting right on the coast. The 2 girls who served us were efficient and extremely friendly. The music was too loud for my wife, and after asking other pub users, who stated they weren't bothered about the music. I asked one of the staff members, who immediately turned the music off. So helpful and considerate. I can thoroughly recommend the food, staff and location of the Crow's Nest. We'll definitely be back. 10 out of 10. I'd give 11 if I could.

Pensioner special for £5 good size roast with a hot drink between 12 till 4pm, great value. Also ask about the 2 course specials.Service very good. Book to confirm. Pub seem to be straining for business hopefully it is busy other days. Price on food has gone up and comparing to other pubs may be looking expensive. We have fish and chips at £14.

Walked in and was served at the bar at no point were we asked if we had booked, we Walked around and found every table was reserved so there was nowhere to sit, we sat at a table that looked like the people had left only to bo told by an uppity yong lady that the table wes booked in 5 mins and we would have to move when we said there were no vacant tables the reply was well you will have to sit at the bar so we drank up and left for lunch elsewhere, if we had been informed before we were served we would have gone elsewhere but it seems they were willing to take our money and hope we waited for a table. We will never return. I

I visited the pub after a house move as we didn’t want the hassle of cooking. I have eaten here several times before and have always had good service. When we arrived, lots of tables were dirty and covered in used dishes. We ordered via the QR code but after 30 minutes we hadn’t even received our drinks. I chased these up and them came reasonably promptly. The food arrived shortly after but my partner’s steak had been served with BBQ sauce and bacon on top. It was almost as if the chef got muddled up with a Hunter’s Chicken. We flagged this up and was told it must’ve just been a mix up. Overall, not the best experience and certainly not to the standard I expected after several previous visits.
