Harbour inn amble in Northumberland

The Sunday Lunch this year was as good as ever. We all four had something different but all of us had the roast dinner and it was excellent. Especially the meat and the leeks in a lovely white sauce. And we all got a really good helping of delicious food. Great value for money. We can recomemend Sunday Lunch at The Harbour Inn,. But you have to book!

The Harbour Inn is one of the best places to eat in Amble without any doubt. The food is second to none and the staff are superb. BUT they do have a very perplexing and cavalier approach to when they are open and when they aren’t despite what their advertised opening hours say. We went in for dinner this evening at 19:55 to be told they were closed. We don’t live in Amble, we’re visiting and we go where we fancy for dinner so to be turned away over an hour before the advertised closing time is quite frankly a pain because we then have to find where else to eat from the very limited selection of places that don’t involve driving.

Ok Sadly nothing special at all. Scampi and chips were soggy, steak was ok, moules frites pretty good, but fries were next to useless as they were all under an inch long. To be honest, a bit disappointed ting.

This is a beautiful establishment with excellent staff, I didn't stay in any of the rooms but I come in for the Sunday dinner and oh my days !! The meats were cooked to perfection the portion sizes were ample and the Yorkshire puddings were to die for! I will definitely be back and lily gave amazing service as did the rest of the team!

Excellent Sunday lunch, food was perfect, staff are very professional. Choice of drinks available to satisfy anyone's palette. We are looking forward to being there again very soon.

Great for food lovely restaurant and traditional bar

Went on a busy saturday lunchtime. The fish platter was excellent, Craster kipper pate, prawns, smoked salmon, fried fish, crab pate with chunky bread and salad. A good example of the local food and does Northumberland proud. My fish and chips however was disappointing, over cooked fish, chips were overdone and not very good. Staff were very busy with some large groups and didn't come to check if everything was ok which was understandable given the circumstances. So a tale of 2 halves.

We were recommended to visit this pub whilst staying in the Amble area on holiday. We booked a table because we wanted to be sure of getting one. The pub is dog friendly and they were made to feel very welcome. The restaurant isn’t particularly large but there was adequate room for us all to sit comfortably. The food when it came was absolutely lovely. My husband had the brisket which was ‘melt in the mouth’ and I had the lamb chop which was delicious. The accompanying potatoes were gorgeous! We were only sorry we found this place towards the end of our holiday and we wouldn’t hesitate to return if we are in the area again.

Lovely meal we have been going every week.

My daughter and myself had a wonderful meal. The staff were excellent. Very officiant and friendly.

Had a steak there last night it was excellent,very good service and an lovely glass of malbec.staff were attentive without being too distracting well done

Excellent food and we love the menu good beer staff are lovely and spotlessly clean. Every time we go it seems to get better,

Sunday lunch was OK, food could have been hotter, garlic on the roast potatoes, wtf, I wasn't asked about any allergies, ie garlic.. For me spoilt the meal.

Fabulous food Fabulous staff couldn't of been more friendly lovely atmosphere best Sunday lunch well worth a visit 😁⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Enjoyed a meal here with friends. A little pricier than some places but a good choice of food and the restaurant was so cosy with every table having a candle alight. I had scampi and it was lovely but the chips were very off-putting to look at. They weren't crispy and were dark brown in colour. They tasted ok. The salad was very nice & fresh. My hubby had a burger and his chips were the same. Shame really. The food was piping hot though, which I like. The only other point is that last orders was at 2130. A little early for a Friday night but it is low season. I would definitely return.

We arrived in Amble on 30/12/2023 ready to celebrate New Year. We hadn't booked anywhere for food but had done a bit of googling at places. We called in here on the chance they had a table for 6. (It was after lunch about 4). Result, we got a table. Staff were lovely and the pub very cosy inside. All six meals were thoroughly enjoyed which included fish n chips, mushroom burger, braised beef, 2x chicken in a basket and a belly pork. If I'm in Amble again I would return to The Harbour Inn ☺️

Managed to squeeze us in for food on a very busy after Christmas day.

Great place for ales and food and staff were excellent all the best to all

Happy new year to an amazing local with great beer food and staff . We love the welcome and the roast is the best ! Cannot recommend enough

Lovely staff , meal pub 🙂 came with family and had a wonderful evening. We will be back. Food was so delicious and the op’s e was packed you need to book. Such nice staff.

Best food in Amble and the staff are all very professional and smartley dressed

Warm and cosy pub . Food excellent but too much for me even though it was delicious. Friendly staff too.

Lovely staff , best fish n chips in the north east ! Proper cocked chips and not expensive Brilliant

Great place on a winters afternoon.... Friendly and welcoming... Real open fire, always good to see. Good selection of beers and mulled wine on the counter.

The most delicious dinner. Just moved to Amble and a taste of things to come. Very large delicious portions served by friendly staff

Food an service both 5 star Definitely give this place a visit

A lovely, good value for money 2 course meal for two of us in nice surroundings

Lovely small Pub. Drink prices was pretty high.

We visited the Harbour 3 nights out of 4 on our recent visit to Amble. It has a good varied menu that is reasonabley priced. I would recommend booking if visiting at busy times ie Sunday Lunch, Friday and Saturday night. It is dog friendly, and there is a separate area for those with dogs. I would definitely recommend eating here if visiting Amble.

Avoid at all costs. we went here on 2 occasions the first time I had chicken in a basket the chicken was very nice however the chips that came with it were both burnt and sloppy when I mentioned this to 1 of the waiting staffing was told that's how they come are not all customers like them as they are a matter of taste .however the other waitress apologised and replaced with nicely cooked French fries. However I ordered dessert of Harbour mess with ice-cream and chocolate sauce after a 10min wait was told the chef had made a mistake and it would be another 10 mins wait .no apology ..... 2 days later thought it may have been a 1 off so tried again on this occasions I ordered chicken and mushroom linguine simple enough to make you'd think when it came out it was missing the chicken brought this to the attention of waiting staff who apologised and took it away when she returned and I quote chef say she forgot to put chicken in no apologies from chef no can we get you a drink on the house just told it would be another 15 mins before it would be ready by this time my wife had finished her meal . All this took place with only my wife and myself in restaurant god help them if ever they have a full house maybe time to get a qualified chef or stop serving food .totally disgusted hence would recommend you all avoid

Lovely tradition pub friendly staff great food and good portion sizes idd highly recommend but gets very busy so better too book

Nice friendly pub for drinks and food. Good selection of local ales. Staff are friendly and efficient. Recommend.

This was a dinner for 3. Previous visits scored higher but this was disappointing 😞. Food was poorer than previously and menus confusing especially for the staff! Service was average too, where previously would have scored a 5

Absolutely gorgeous! Ordered the chicken burger expecting a normal thing. Omg. THE BEST chicken burger I've ever had. It was HUGE and that relish in there was amazing. Dad had the steak baguette and loved his too. Definitely be back.

Didn't stay in the accommodation. Food is lovely, very reasonably priced. Big shout out to the young waitress (slim, blonde hair) her customer service was spot on, nice friendly smile, approachable and super efficient. Nice clean restaurant area, didn't feel rushed overall a pleasant dining experience. Will deffo return.

Really great place just had fantastic meal great place great food great beer say no more 🍻🍔

Beautiful pub just past the harbour. Very welcoming and very cosy within. Nautical themed decor pieces inside with lights in the window boxes. Nice leather booths to sit in. Staff were fantastic beth and abbie served us really pleasant girls whom gave us lots of local info too. Really enjoyable evening.

Great pub with great food, dog friendly in the bar area, the staff were very good too. Local scampi and fish, local great beers too. Recommend a visit during your stay in Amble.

Visited for Sunday lunch with family. Booked for 7 plus high chair - had to ask for high chair on arrival. A long time before we were asked if we wanted drinks. Starter orders wrongly delivered and took ages to rectify with no apology. Mains...

Visited the area on holiday with the dog and decided to stop here. Dogs are welcome in the bar. There is a separate restaurant part. Staff were friendly enough, and other customers also had a chat. We ordered a good amount of food off the menu, which was a very good quality better than I genuinely thought it would be. All washed down with a nice pint of Guinness. There are a few places to eat near there but honestly the food was great and a reasonable price, we will visit again I'd we are ever in the area.

Dog friendly in bar area. Just missed out on the special menu which finished at 5pm. Nice friendly staff, food decent I had lovely steak baguette, steak lovely and tender, hubby had cottage pie which he enjoyed and my mum had scampi and chips in...

We were visiting Amble for the day. Stumbled across the Harbour lnn. Looked at the menu, then went inside. It was cosy,staff very friendly and food was amazing. The tomato soup was the most delicious soup that l've tasted. The mac cheese was fab too.

Came here with friends as we'd been a couple of months ago... Walked in on a Sunday about half 3 and were lucky enough to get a table.. 3 of us had beef baguettes with Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes and gravy for 10.99 each and one of us had a small sirloin beef dinner.. One of the best meals have had in a long time and we're very large baguettes with loads of roast potatoes each.... I would describe the small beef dinner as a very large portion anywhere else.. Superb meals and will definitely visit again... Staff were very attentive and helpful as well... Great pub with a great atmosphere 5🌟

A family meal in the restaurant. Very friendly and obliging service, a wide ranging menu and our several meals were all excellently cooked. Looking forward to making it a regular port of call.

Visited whist staying in Warkworth cottage. Had wonderful lunches on two occasions and were made extremely welcome with our dog. Good beer, great food and cosy surroundings

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent fish and chips and great service. Would recommend.

We went in for lunch with 2 dogs. The staff seemed inexperienced and uninterested. We ordered at the bar as no one came to take our order at the table. Quite a long wait for food. portion sizes were small and food bland. Not value...

wee stayed 3 nights and had one evening meal all very good friendly staff and met sone nice people best crab batch ever from the harbour fishery

This was so good we went twice. Fresh well cooked food served by efficient friendly staff. Good range of beers and wine. Local seafood as well as more traditional 'pub' food. Something for every taste.

Only went in for one drink but seemed a nice pub and dog friendly.

Superb food and great staff child friendly clean always wanting to help thank you

We have been there twice this trip and wish we’d been every night! Such a great atmosphere! Service was brilliant, as was the food! We’ll be back! Thank you!

First time visiting here. Had a lovely Sunday lunch for a reasonable price. Very generous portions and nice to get extra gravy and plenty of veg. If you’ve got a dog you can sit in the bar and eat but the tables are very close...

Really nice food good service and dog friendly

Recently rented a cottage in Amble. On our first night walking around getting our bearings we discovered the Harbour Inn. We called in for a drink or three and really enjoyed our time in there. A pub with accommodation and a dining room. Great friendly...

Very comfy rooms. Food is basic.

Excellent and beer choices were great

Beautiful meal I was even given a taster if lobster and crab as I’d never had it before Lovely thought by lovely lady Would definitely go again Lovely food Lovely staff Lovely place Thank you

6 of us arrived for a one night stay as we were playing golf in Alnmouth. We stayed over on a Saturday night. Rooms look brand new with a nortical theme throughout. Clean and comfortable. Bathrooms are massive with decent showers. Host and bar staff...

Good beer great food very helpful and friendly staff definitely recommend

Lovely fresh sea food platter, great staff

Lovely friendly cosy pub Alisa is very welcoming. Food is great Highly recommend

Was slightly tricky to find due to sat nav not picking up a one way system, but got there in the end! Food was nice and what you would expect from pub grub. Bar area is lovely and welcomes dogs in the bar area. (we had 3 with us). Service was great and we didn't have a long wait to order or receive our food. We booked for the Tuesday evening but there were tables free so imagine you could walk in and get a table without booking. They also have a restaurant area but I didn't see that.

Harbour Inn Amble Likely Punch tied lease Outstandingly good pub food Broad menu. Vegan and non meat options have been thought about, are appetising and interesting One of the best burgers I've had anywhere. Beats 5 Guys hands down. Service is informal on the ball, friendly and personable, they know their menu Beer line up is disappointingly unadventurous - ergo Punched Good wine list - ergo not tied on wines Altogether great value making headway in the very foggy market

2 good real ales. Nice atmosphere.

First time to harbour inn for food and can honestly say it won't be our last food was gorgeous and staff were very friendly and helpful highly recommend this place for food if in area must give it a go .

Did not stay, just went in for a drink. Very nice, will go back.

Visited yesterday, we’ve been a few times before but the meal yesterday wasn’t up to its usual standard. The staff are always friendly & chatty. The restaurant was quiet. We ordered a bottle of wine £22. I ordered the chicken mayo sandwich, the filling tasted...

We got proper pub grub here, burgers and fried chicken. All was lovely!

Superb food, dog friendly and excellent attentive staff. The children had a lovely time and would highly recommend.

A nice environment. Dog friendly in the bar - and seems to be well known for it. Tasty food and a good selection of local beer, rum and even a local whisky. Prices are fair for the area.

Beer’s good food good but staff need to learn how to smile . Manageress would be more suited in a library or better still a morgue as she doesn’t like noise. So take pen and paper if you want a conversation

Quite a nice dog friendly pub. Friendly staff. Good food. With portions sizes that are very generous. A good range of beers at a reasonable price. It's located a short walk from the harbour. We visited on a bank holiday weekend so it was very busy.

The portion size was great, the food was amazing, reasonable pricing and good service. Would recommend the seafood sharing platter - it was easily plenty of good for two.

Visited Amble today and just wanted fish and chip from the harbour but the queues were horrendous. Saw this place and thought we'd give it a try and WOW did not disappoint. We only wanted a bite to eat as it was lunchtime so went...

A proper pub, great atmos and super food. What's not to love.

Went a few times for a drink and ended our holiday with a family evening meal. All good. Enjoyed the Harbour beers (Amber and Gold). Good pub grub. Recent new ownership so not got many reviews which is a pity. Located near to the Harbour (obviously!) so very convenient.

We visited the restaurant for the second time. The service is amazing, greeted instantly & seated in a lovely seat. Water arrived at the table within moments. The “specials “ menu was explained fully, including what wasn’t available. We ordered wine (great choice and competitively...

We had fish and chips. The food was plentiful and the fish was lovely. However the chips were soggy and not what I expect at the price.

Visiting from Canada with my British family, we had been out for the day and we were looking for an evening meal, literally by chance we pulled into a parking spot and saw The Harbour Inn. They fit all 7 of us in and thank God they did! Food was brilliant and the staff are really great. We loved it so much that we booked for another night, food & staff were just as good the 2nd time. Prices are more than reasonable for meal size and quality. I would advise booking ahead if possible as it is a busy spot!

Great pub on the front at Amble, the food was very good and reasonably priced, beer was excellent, Very dog friendly both inside and outside in the beer garden. Well worth a visit.

My wife and I along with our dog, had a great evening meal here. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a great evening meal accompanied with a good cross section of drinks.

one of the best burgers I've had. Lovely decor inside. Great menu. Would love to return.

We stayed at the Harbour Inn for 4 nights. A very warm welcome awaits with lovely staff nothing is too much trouble for them. Very good rapport with children. The rooms were immaculately clean n very spacious. A huge Kingsize bed with views of the...

Lovely, friendly restaurant! Couldn't fault the food at all ☺️

A welcoming "old fashioned" pub with friendly staff and a good range of drinks. Excellent clean toilets.

We were really looking forward to lunch. Everyone was starving. We sat in the pub garden and were served 3 pork dinners and a beef dinner with pork. Oh 😔 it was awful! The pork was all fat, the beef was dripping with blood and...

We had a lovely meal here, staff were friendly and accommodating of children. I would highly recommend the pork belly, it was delicious. There is a good selection of local beers.

Beautiful food and well cooked steak, medium rare just how I asked. My mum got the pork belly and it was delicious. Great atmosphere in the back of the restaurant. They welcome dogs but only at the front at the bar. Took one star off...

After visiting a few times for drinks we had a delicious late lunch yesterday. Craster kipper pate, brisket, shepherds pie and chilli all first class. Good selection of wines and spirits, friendly staff and very dog friendly. This was Brodie the dog’s first ‘indoor’ lunch...

The fresh scampi in a basket was great!! Slightly disappointed with the chips, abit too well done for me. Nice pub & atmosphere 😀

Came on a Saturday early lunchtime, with the dog, the baby and the Husband. We sat in bar area as had the dog. Large food menu, both had burgers, chicken and a beef burger. Good size and very tasty! Would return

Haven't had a meal like this in a long time! Absolutely delicious food, chicken in a basket the best I've ever had! Service not rushed and friendly staff, brilliant.

This was a welcoming, child and dog friendly pub and restaurant. We booked for an evening meal on the day and although there was no room in the restaurant, they were able to accommodate us in the bar which suited us better. The staff were friendly. The food took a little while to come, but you'd expect this in a busy restaurant that prepares fresh food. When it did come the food was nice and well presented, however one of our dishes had been missed off the order. There were also small things missing from other dishes (eg. pickled onion from the fish and chip feast) and a steak was overcooked. We were told the missing dish would be prepared and brought out for us, but we'd managed to finish and pay without it ever appearing. A member of staff did apologise for this and explained that the kitchen was short a chef. Overall a friendly place and the food we did get was fresh and tasty, but the experience let it down a little.

Fantastic food great atmosphere staff were lovely i dont have a bad word to say would highly recommend

Brilliant service and tasty food at its very best. Beautifully cooked meat, nicely cook3d. Eg and and exciting array of them.

Wow! This was a superb meal. Absolutely gorgeous roast beef Sunday treat. Best ever? Probably. And lovely service too

Cannot recommend this place enough. They went above and beyond for us, we had our dog and pushchair and they moved chairs about to fit us in comfortably. The food was absolutely amazing, couldn’t fault any of it. We went on the managers birthday so...

Had a lovely Sunday lunch there. Food and service all very good at a reasonable price. So impressed went back two more times for evenings meals. The chef and the staff are obviously all passionate about their food quality and service.
