The Dock Hotel bar and restaurant in Northumberland

I liked the fact that the staff were willing to bring our drinks through to the restaurant. My partner thought the food was exceptional & well presented. The Scottish breakfast was fantastic&we got 8 slices of fried bread for 2 people! I would urge anybody going to amble to try this place.

A delicious meal all freshly cooked we would definitely recommend .

Fantastic place, food is unreal as are staff.

We have a caravan on Amble Links. We found brilliant place purely by accident. It's small clean and cozy. People in the next tables actually talk to each other. That's so great especially for people on their own, it could be the only concern they have that day. You can see how popular it is by the takeaway Sunday lunches flying out of the door. The staff are friendly and so helpful. I asked for a quick service today and even though they were rushed off their feet got out meal about 11,40. Got the chocolate puddings to take away . I'm glad we did cos potion sizes are very generous. Paid by card so forgot to leave a tip. We will certainly be back. Thanks

This wasn't our cup of tea overall. It was unclear how to park as it is on a busy main street with no allocated parking. We unloaded our stuff and parked on the street although it was limited to one hour, before 5pm. The Dock is a pub with the guest rooms upstairs. The room was clean with plenty of tea and coffee and bathroom accessories. However the view was of the street below and shutters to block the window - windows are sash single pane windows and only open if propped open. The pub below was noisy - music went on until after 11pm. Then we were treated to some very loud music for 5 minutes I think possibly from another room. The room was very hot with no effective temperature control and it made for quite an uncomfortable night. Breakfast was functional with cool beans but I've had worse. Staff were friendly but basically you were staying in a noisy pub on a main street so if that's your thing that's fine. The pub itself didn't have much in the way of decent draught beer though which was a bit disappointing. If you look on the website for this place it says they do food in the evening - but they don't! There are other eating places nearby - we went to the Wellwood Arms which was fine. Main issue for us was the TV. It's only on WiFi so no Freeview channels - everything is through apps. It kept buffering all the time and as we were trying to watch The Olympics live it was very annoying. Not sure why they can't have proper TV?

We were warmly welcomed, dear hosts/family business... fantastic breakfast

Just had one of the nicest Sunday lunches. Beef was amazing. Fresh veg. Proper gravy that came out in a massive gravy boat. The stuffing was super tasty. We have a caravan at Amble Links and I think we've found a new favourite place to eat. Staff were working their socks off but made time to talk to us. Will be back. Wish I'd had room for a pudding. Great prices too.

Room was very clean, but very small and basic. Bed very comfy. Most staff are friendly and attentive - they worked hard to make our stay enjoyable. Young member of staff not quite as attentive and tended to continuously be using their mobile . . . (perhaps a little more training on customer care?). View from window from room at back was not as expected (eg the Marina was not in view to the degree we’d hoped (see photo). The building lacks curb appeal at the front. However, all that said we were satisfied for the price . . .

Horrific customer service, foul language used by staff upon entry, food was great but the staff were beyond receptive, borderline abusive language was used when new customers arrived. Really uncomfortable experience all together.

Lovely clean hotel. Rooms are spotless.. very friendly staff. Engaging and helpful. Sharon is an absolute star. Her breakfast was to die for and the choice was amazing. Have already booked for next year.

We have just returned from the dock and we have enjoyed our stay so much we plan to return next year It was our fist time in amble and a brilliant little place it is. Our host Sharon is really nice and polite while professional in running her hotel along with her daughters and good friendly staff. We stay 2 nights in a spotlessly clean room with great views and to say it's above a bar very quiet. The breakfast was very good from full English to basically anything you want ,fruit ,yoghurt toast,cereal literally anything. They also do great food during the day at a good reasonable price. Thank you very much for accommodating us your hotel was great and comfortable and friendly. We look forward to visiting again next year. Andy & Michelle (sheffield)

We only ate there but understand they have 6 newly refurbed rooms at very reasonable rates. Will try this out next time. If as good as the food and service downstairs, will be worth a try.

Brilliant place run by a lovely family and proper homemade food 😋 Can't speak about the rooms as we've never stayed.

Had a lunchtime meal in the café attached to the hotel. the food was nice and simple, but absolutely delicious! I had Liver and bacon, and my wife had sausages and mash. we did a double-take at the bill, but not because it was ridiculously expensive, but completely the opposite!! Two meals for £18 at the time of writing. The staff were fantastic and the café is dog-friendly too. we were made very welcome. Highly recommended for a hearty meal at a great price.

Stayed at The Dock Inn yesterday and was very impressed, the location was perfect , my bedroom view was great, the decor of the room was immaculate and bed was so comfortable . The staff were all very helpful and friendly . The breakfast was the best full English I've ever had at an overnight stay venue , cooked to perfection and plenty of it . Would highly recommend this place and I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I visit Amble again 10/10 well done to the owners .

Went today only six people in ordered our food at 1 15 still sat waiting at 2 30 no food came out asked how much longer it was going to be was told about another half hour had to leave as no time left only visiting for the day also the other table only got one meal and the other person had to sit and wait only to return her food because she was not happy with it four staff in kitchen don't know what they were doing they couldn't even apologise didn't seem bothered

Great vibe, service, drinks selection, and prices. Sadly, it's not our local, otherwise, we would be coming regularly!

Great place very friendly and delicious food

We had a delicious Sunday lunch today so tasty . Everything you need . Portions size is fab . Thankyou to Sharon and her lovely staff .

Nice old fashioned pub.friendly staff.

The Dock was recommended by my sister. We really weren't disappointed. Staff were friendly, the food was absolutely gorgeous. Very generous portions. Real homemade chips too. You don't get a cup of tea, you get an individual teapot with enough for three cups. A hidden gem . We will be back. Just fabulous 😊

This was probably one of the best Sunday lunches I've had. The small was fine for me and the large portion my husband had was huge. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even popping up the road to the shop for strawberries for me as I am lactose intolerant and they didn't want me to have to sit and watch my husband eat a dessert when I couldn't have one. There was a good choice of traditional desserts. If you let them know in advance that you have an allergy /intolerance they will make something you can eat. I definitely recommend eating here.

Wandering around amble looking for a place to eat that wasn't over priced. Thankfully a lovely local woman recommended here. Food is excellent. Large portions and all four of us really enjoyed our meal. The beef baguette was exceptional. Good value for money highly recommend.

Friendly people bar staff limited seating ,beer garden food looked nice but not tried ,best to book

Staff were helpful and friendly, and the food was amazing. We reckon the chips were the best we’ve ever had. Great value for money and nice atmosphere with a broad but straightforward menu.

Lovely food in the bar area, friendly staff. Stumbled across on a rainy day and so glad we did. Excellent value for money.

Food was really nice and reasonably priced

Large Scottish breakfast was amazing place its self is spotless..staff are very friendly...would highly recommend

Oh my dear gastronomes, tie your napkins and ready your forks, for I’m about to whisk you away to the idyllic haven of Amble in Northumberland, where breakfast dreams are served on a platter! At “The Dock,” brace yourselves for a culinary expedition that makes Captain Cook's voyage look like a walk in the park. First things first, let's talk about the mighty captain of this ship, the one and only, Sharon! Drumroll please. She is not just “The Boss”, she’s The Queen, The Admiral, The Head Chef, and probably The Minister of Breakfast Affairs. If an egg has the audacity to be less than perfectly poached under her watch, it’s off with its shell! Now, where were we? Ah, yes - The Dock! A café so enchanting, you’ll forget if you are in Amble or in the Shire. The décor is impeccable, it's as if Monet and Chip and Joanna Gaines had a baby and named it The Dock’s Interior. But my dear friends, hold onto your monocles because The Dock's breakfast is a masterpiece. I mean, the Full English Breakfast here should be framed and hung at the Louvre. The sausage is crafted with the precision of a Swiss watch, and the bacon! Oh, the bacon is like the elixir of the gods – if Zeus had a favorite café, you bet your bangers it would be The Dock. The genial staff, meticulously curated by Sharon, serves you with such professionalism that even the most austere British butler would blush. And talk about their attire - I’d say it’s Downton Abbey meets Breakfast Chic. I once saw a waiter rescue a spoon mid-fall like a ninja. I’m sure there’s a secret service training camp back there somewhere. And you know what, folks? You don’t have to take just my word for it. The folks of Amble have spoken, and they say, “The Dock is simply the best.” (Read that in Tina Turner’s voice, please). At The Dock, you're not just getting breakfast; you’re being inducted into a sacred Full English Breakfast fellowship. I wholeheartedly recommend The Dock to all; from the hungry traveler to the breakfast aficionado. Bring your friends, bring your dog, heck, bring your neighbor’s cat! They’ll all be welcomed with open arms. And while there, you might as well hum “Sittin' on The Dock of the Bay,” because folks, it’s not just Otis Redding who’s wasting time. You’re wasting precious breakfast time if you haven’t been to The Dock. Let's toast (pun intended) to the glorious symphony of breakfast perfection that is The Dock in Amble, Northumberland.

Typical bar food, had better had worse.

Visited the restaurant on three occasions and the food has been top notch each time. The beef baguette with chips and coleslaw is to die for. Have also sampled the fruit crumble and custard, again excellent. Staff are very helpful, cheerful and good crack. Great value for money. Well worth the travel from Jarra.

This family run restaurant never fails to impress with their delicious freshly cooked meals and huge portions. Our party of seven were able to book the day before even though they were very busy. Nothing is too much trouble all with a smile and friendly chat. Thank you for looking after us so well

Well. Great beers. Made my wife and I really welcome, and also our dog. I would definitely recommend a visit. Traditional Pub.

We visited the restaurant side for a Sunday lunch. We ordered a large portion, one beef, one lamb. Everything was lovely but for me particularly the lamb was beautifully cooked and the Yorkshire puddings were the nicest I have had in a long while. Staff were friendly. Good value for the size of the portion.

Called in for breakfast. Fantastic food and really friendly. Highly recommended.

We love this place. Excellent value, food, ambience. Can't wait to come back.

An old style pub that are few and far between now, the entrance door on the right for the restaurant, the door on the left into the bar.

Very friendly lovely staff ,good atmosphere

Great place for drink amazing staff

Had Sunday lunch. Was the best I've had in years, highly recommended 😊👍

Friendly warm experience and the food was good aswell

Popped in on a Wednesday Lunchtime. Good choice of food, including all day breakfasts. Starters, Mains & Deserts The Good Lady chose, Haggis tatties & neeps, available with either whiskey sauce or gravy, she chose gravy. Whilst I was torn, I finally plumped for Mince, dumpling, chips, carrots and peas. All homemade fayre and delicious, piping hot. Even the Haggis is “local” from Greens of Long Framlington. The dumpling was light, crisp and scrumptious being baked rather than stewed. Fantabbydosy food served by lovely local lasses. Give em a try. Good value, two big platefuls two pots of tea. £22 brilliant

Very good services food excellent and very efficient staff great experience with expertise. WE COULD NOT FIND FAULT WITH OUR BOOKING GREAT.

Popped in here on Sunday morning for a veggie breakfast which was reasonably priced and really delicious. The staff were really friendly and the place felt really nice and well looked after. We’ll definitely be back! The one thing I would say is that we nearly walked straight past as we didn’t see the breakfast menu outside- there aren’t many places serving breakfast on Sunday - I’d put a big board outside if I were the owners as a good breakfast like this shouldn’t be missed! 😊

A nice welcome from the friendly helpful staff

Four of us caled in on Friday and Saturday night and the staff were supberb and didnt chuck us out even though we were the last ones there. Let us finish our darts gane which took ages!

Very good services food excellent. Sunday dinner was great we will be going back. 😋 l would advice anyone to try this place. I very rarely recommend anywhere but if you try this food you will see why l have said GREAT 👍

Had a Small full English Breakfast. Cooked to order and piping hot, Bacon, Sausage, Black Pudding, hash brown, mushrooms, Heinz Beanz, Fried Egg, Tomato and fried bread. Pot of tea, £6:95 Excellent

Amazing staff, wonderful food, kid friendly and helped me when I had a problem. I highly recommend to everyone, the restaurant manager is lovely. Breakfast is delicious and toasties, also mince and dumplings, plus you always get great portion sizes. I hope to visit again soon as I've been away from the area and unfortunately been unwell.

Sunday Lunch was fantastic meat melted in your mouth, staff were friendly and with a smile on their faces would definitely recommend

Visited after reading a recent review and was not disappointed! Food was fresh, homemade and delicious! The staff were amazing, so friendly and couldn't be more attentive! Dog friendly and yes my dog Webster definitely gave it a waggy tail! Definitely going back to try breakfast next time!

We ate in the restaurant room. Our food was excellent and well served. The staff were friendly and efficient. Good value for money

We had fabulous Sunday lunch 28th Aug. The food was excellent and amazing value. Staff lovely and looked after us very well. So pleased to have found such a great place to go back to when we next visit Amble.

Excellent meal and good service

Nice pub,with a good atmosphere,cheap drinks too😁

Lovely food, nice staff, clean and bright room. Great take out food

We ate lunch here whilst visiting Amble. Bit unsure as seemed to be only customers, but decided to give it a go. The food was quite nice, but quite pricey for what it was. Staff quite friendly, but didn't check to see if we needed more drinks or if food okay. The menu had a lot of choice though and the place was clean looking.

The Dock Hotel is quite unpretentious from the outside, being on the main shopping street (Queen Street) of Amble. However stepping inside you can see the care and attention to detail in the decor. It is relatively small but in a pleasant way and not cramped. A feature is the fact that you can see into the kitchen and the obvious cleanliness of the establishment Called in for breakfast and what a feast. I had the large breakfast, which is really huge. The food was all piping hot. Bacon was lean with no fat whatsoever. Sausages were excellent. In fact it was all high quality food. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was all cooked to order and worth waiting for. I didn't realise there was a beer garden until I read the last review, so will try that on my next visit.

Amazing place to eat! Best mince and dumplings ever, perfect on a rainy day. Great staff and fresh home cooked food and great selection of fresh veg. Hidden gem, will definitely return

Went to the restaurant bit, well a bit of a cafe really. Chips were amazing, everything else was a little bit average. Went to the toilets and ended up behind the bar, but friendly local directed me in the right direction. Condom machine in the toilets seemed to be there ironically. Not really what we hoped for.

Very good bar staff very friendly and professional.

Good solid pub food but pedestrian drink choice.

Great food, portions are generous, wheelchair accessible
