The Kings Arms - Seaton Sluice in Northumberland

Small traditional pub. Friendly staff and a great homely atmosphere. Food and service first class. Great surroundings to explore in the sluice when visiting the Kings Arms. Great on a sunny day with outdoor seating to enjoy a few drinks with friends and family.

Always welcoming and fantastic food. Love going to this place.

Food superb. Lovely atmosphere and staff very kind with my elderly parents

Great little pub great food good service can be a little bit busy Sunday dinner really good. Suggest you book a table . No faults at all great staff . All in all very nice

Great Guiness and lovely service.

Lovely food and service was good

A friendly and atmospheric old pub which I visited with a group of friends. Nice beer range, not too expensive.

Proper traditional pub, lovely atmosphere and helpful friendly staff. Food was great too!

This is a traditional cosy pub. The food and drinks are reasonably priced. The atmosphere is that of a good local and the locals do eat and drink here which is always a good sign. We had the fish and chips, all arrived quickly, was piping hot, and cooked to perfection. Staff were happy and helpful. Will definitely go again and felt it was good value for money. Two double g and it's, two fish and chips (one large) and all for £36. Well worth it.

Excellent home cooked food, we had the fish & chips, kings burger and hot beef baguette with chips. We also had the kids chicken bites. Portion size is great and tasted amazing. Service was fantastic, initially we had to sit outside as all inside tables were full. The bar person then came out to inform us of a free table. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Great find. Lovely staff and an excellent menu. Tried the soup pea and mint never see this and it was lovely. Saw the mermaid statue. Lovely little area to visit

Nice outdoor seating area,food is OK and pleasant staff,parking is very busy.

This place is lush. Nice and chilled in a lovely spot right near the coast. The food is unreal, you wouldn't believe it was pub grub!

Lovely staff. Scran was delicious. We got the fish finger sandwich, chips, cheesy garlic bread. Dog friendly. Outdoor seating area in the back with heaters.

This is where our scooter club meets

Food was ok, nothing special...the pub has so much character with a great atmosphere

Excellent food, excellent real ale and a view to die for.

Really good Sunday roast. Very good value for money. You do have to book though and it's always busy. Lovely views of the sea from there.

Fabulous local pub right on the sea front, friendly staff, brilliant beers and amazing fish and chips. Thank you. Shame we are only here for a short stay. We hope to be back.

Lovely little pub food is good price is comparable with area

Good selection of beers , food not do good. Too meat orientated.

Very busy pub so booking at any time is recommended. Thankfully we knew to order the small fish (& chips) as the standard was whale sized. The general hubbub was quite loud for senior ears as was the low light levels (till I used my phone torch !) but the choice of background music was very pleasing and non distracting. So, overall, good food, quite noisy and booking necessary. Oh yes....and brilliant location overlooking the crashing waves.

Friendly, dog friendly too pub. Although we didn't eat, whilst we were there the head chef was explaining their new menu to the staff. Menu looks impressive. Good choice of hand pulled bees and choice of fine wines. Worth a visit we say.

If you want to go somewhere with all the signs of British culture, here is the right choice. Delicious fish and chips, friendly staff even my naughty son:) Thank you so much!

Had mince and dumpling husband had mint lamb hotpot we both enjoyed it

Very nice old pub. Friendly staff and a lovely Sunday lunch.

Highly recommended by our friends, approx. 1.20pm very busy but quickly got seated, no beef left but plenty of other choice. Plentiful with tender meat. Could have been hotter. I missed my peas 🫣. Great wine. Will go back

Fantastic service Amazing food Just been for Sunday lunch with my family as a surprise 89th birthday can’t thank the staff enough for there fantastic service and making my mum’s birthday so special highly recommend Thank you to all the staff

The day we were there, the staff were lovely and provided a great service. It's a restaurant/pub so the atmosphere suited the place. It was as it should be. Food was proper delish with well cooked meat and plenty veg. We all had a good time. Thank you.

We visited here out of chance as we were in the area and we’re very pleased we did. We were a group of six, 2 young children both under 4 and my father in law is a wheelchair user, so it’s safe to say we weren’t exactly the easiest table of 6 to cater for. We were immediately greeted at the door with a friendly welcome and shown straight to a table. The menu has great variety including children’s options. The food itself was lovely and very clearly freshly made. The portion sizes are very generous and to my embarrassment I couldn’t finish my food. All of the staff we spoke to were very friendly and welcoming to us. Even the local customers treat us with a smile and a hello. We usually visit another local venue when we’re in the area, but this will be our go to place from now on. The only bizarre thing is that the previous reviewer gave this place a 1/5?! So whoever you are ‘Jo G’ I’d love to have a pint of whatever you’ve had. You must’ve reviewed the wrong place! To the staff and management - thank you for being so accommodating. You’ve gained a few new customers today.

Such a disappointment! I’m thinking this place must’ve changed hands, as the food was disgraceful! Shop bought ingredients, and very poorly executed! Will not be returning, nor recommending!

Excellent food wonderful service with a view to take your breath away

We love this place. Seaton Sluice is just gorgeous. We came for a long weekend with our dog and it was perfect. The kings arms is a great place to eat and drink. The food is yummy and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. In particular, the owner, Paul. We had 2 great nights here and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. The locals are so friendly and are a credit to Sleaton Sluice. We will deffinatly come back here again, maybe for Christmas. Thank you for making our holiday so much fun. Tina and Mark. X x

What a fantastic place this is, food is amazing and staff really accommodating and Friendly, views are also the best.. Highly recommended

We had a child who is autistic,and he screamed and the staff aswell as the customers rolled their eyes ! We wish we hadn’t of stayed as the fish was that thin it was hard ! Chips were hard ,another 5 mins in the fryer and they would have been lovely ! I wouldn’t recommend with kids and also if you want to pay over the odds for what you got !

Wonderful we love it !!!! Glenn and Mark are really professional and kind as well looking forward to coming back again

I was on holiday in this beautiful seaside town and was lucky to find this beautiful pub with a stunning sea view but above all even luckier to find some great people and I will forever thank Mark Gleen and Graham… hope to meet you again and drink with you…

Great place for food, drink and always receive a friendly welcome. Definitely recommend a visit.

Excellent pub very clean good selection of drinks. Can't rate the food as didn't have any it did look very good and will dine here when nect in the area.

Can't recommend this lovely place enough. The service is 1st class, and the staff are attentive and friendly. The food is beautiful. Plenty of seating outdoors. Fish and chips for us today and it was perfect.

Best Sunday lunch on North east coast x

Excellent food. Small portions available which are more than enough. Excellent choice of meals.

Good food good service large choice from menu and specials

Nice pub, great food and onion rings to die for.

Fantastic setting overlooking the sluice

Popped in for a refreshing drink on a hot day

Sat outside. No dogs allowed inside Waitress came out with water for the dogs though so really kind. Food looked gorgeous although we didn't eat there.

Very good staff, nice pint, nice surroundings too

We had an evening meal on a Wednesday evening in July. We got there shortly after 6.00 and it was already getting busy. The food was good. The service was good. We had a great evening. Would definitely recommend.

Great little find. Great service staff and food.

After a good walk along a local beach we called in for a lite bite of prawn sandwiches and a bowl of chips, both were very good and a couple of drinks.

When I'm over on the north east i do pop in here for Dinner. I was in today, and should really have booked a table as its sunday and an England world cup final day so everybody came out early for dinner before heading home or elsewhere for the match (they don't have screens but i find that a good thing), Its a traditional pub, on the sea front, its got parking too. They were very busy today but still managed to find me a table after a short wait. The staff are always welcoming & friendly & the food is good food and reasonably priced. I have tried other pubs in the area but have came back to the kings arms. People often follow this up with a walk in the area on the sea front or to follow the path over to st marys lighthouse which is about 1.5 miles away (currently closed for renovation july 2024) but its am area you can watch the seals on the rocks or climb the spiral staircase up lighthouse.

Love this pub, great food and I've tried many things on the menu all amazing and the apple crumble is to die for. Always some nice real ales and real people working there always very welcoming, especially Glen behind the bar!

Visited this pub twice in a couple of days as food was so good. Staff are very helpful and friendly and the menu is plentiful and great value. We loved the option of being able to choose smaller portions of most of the main menu for those with a smaller appetite. Wish this pub was nearer to home as we would be always visiting. If you are in the area it is a must visit venue.

Smart place. Great staff. Must be lovely with the fires going. Food smelled lush.

Sunday lunch was very good. I very much appreciated the small versions of the main dishes: good value and just the right amount. It was very busy, book a table if possible (by phone, there is no booking option on the website). Parking immediately next to the pub is very limited but there is plenty on nearby roads.

The pub had pretty average beers, as I have had better real ales in other pubs. The pub was very clean, very busy but with good service and friendly staff. The big let down was the tasteless Cod and Chips. I had heard the food was great but not this time.

Standard fish & chips £ 14 NOT WORTH ..IT thing hardly ENEY FISH IN IT

Old traditional bar ..does great food

A favourite place of my late Aunt. First time visiting myself. A very friendly welcome, lovely views and wonderful food. Highly recommend.

Great old world pub, great atmosphere and staff. Lovely on a cold winter night by the fireside and even better sitting outside on a hot sunny day. Well worth a visit!

Lovely pub on the cliff tops at Seston Sluice. Lovely food.

Lovely food, reasonably priced, excellent location, brilliant staff, free parking, nice atmosphere, what's not to like!

Top class food , spoilt by the service from one particular person , the food was first rate and very tasty, asked if we would like the dessert menu , waited and waited for the stocky dark haired to take our order but she was busy eating her bag of crisps , my wife asked another member of staff to take our order but unfortunately there was know cheesecake available, maybe if we were informed when we got the dessert menu from the previous member of staff we may have ordered something else but considering the wait we had already we decided to leave , pity but up till then it was so perfect from the young lad who served our beer and brought our food , spoilt by one person who was just too busy with her crisps

We called into the King’s Arms as a party of four for the first time on Saturday afternoon, having spent the morning at Seaton Delaval Hall. I had done my homework beforehand in terms of finding somewhere suitable for lunch, as one of our party had gluten free requirements and the King’s Arms seemed to fit the bill, with the menu clearly visible on their website. Despite good weather and the place being busy, we got parked close by and also got a table for four with no problems (much to my relief!), though this might have been thanks to the many people who were eating and drinking outside. We ordered a main course each and a round of drinks: 3 x regular Fish and Chips (one being gluten free) and one Liver and Bacon. The staff were friendly and efficient and it wasn’t long before we were tucking in to our meals which we all agreed were excellent; no complaints at all! Surprisingly, my wife could not manage a dessert despite the tempting offerings on the pub’s blackboards. A very enjoyable visit which we hope to repeat soon!

Called in here after not being for a looong time. It was popular before but seems to be even more so now. Arrived 4ish and got the last table that wasn't booked. Food was 1st class, service was flawless, if you haven't been you don't know what you're missing. Parking at the front and side of the building, wheelchair accessible but make sure you book a table always.

Thank you. Walking distance to Blyth habour. Charming staff. Excellent beer :) See you next time

Stopped for drinks on a bike ride. Great outdoor space, plenty of tables and lovely grassed are. Didn't have food but it looked lovely

We couldn't eat it was fully booked and very busy we had a drink though and the atmosphere was very nice

Lovely location. Good selection of beers, lagers, spirits and wines. Several folk were booked in for meals and there were 'walk-in' customers too.

Great fish and chips and nice selection of real ales

Great food, would recommend a visit.

Definitely my favourite place, great food, service, atmosphere and location. Looking forward to going again.

Called in for a first visit for a bite to eat. Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. I had mince and dumpling, the other half had liver and bacon. Both meals were very tasty and good size portions. Will definitely be returning. Thanks guys !!!!

Lovely pub overlooking the coast with loads of history. Will be back to try food

Lovely pub good food nice location

Very friendly manager and staff Great atmosphere

Visiting the area, we’d seen this place on Facebook and thought we’d try it out. First class all round. Prompt friendly service. Good food choice including, but not limited to, traditional pub food that was well prepared and presented. Reasonably priced. Pub is well kept and in a lovely location. Free parking available. Would happily repeat the experience.

Amazing food, more restaurant quality than pub grub. Beautiful decor inside and very cosy. Plenty of benches for sitting outside when the sun is out.

Just had lunch and a few beers with some old pals here. The atmosphere is always relaxing, the service is friendly, food and beer are good. Highly recommend this pub.

Staff were friendly and attentive xx

I had a nice fish and mushy pea sandwich. The food is homemade and tastes nice.friendly staff .

Great pub with a good menu of classics but also some more off piste dishes. Great beer selection also - and if you like Ale it’s good! Heartily recommend - we had fish n chips, steak pie, poached salmon and liver and bacon - all excellent and well cooked. Plus it’s got some great views out of the window!

Even though I hardly go out due to my job I do like to try lots of different places. The King's in Seaton sluice is my favourite. Food is amazing, prices are fair, staff couldn't do more to help you they are brilliant and there is a good choice of draft real Ale. And the mens toilet probably has the best view youl ever see in a toilet lol.

Just what you want for a good hearty meal on a cold day. Great pub grub. Good beer. Well priced. Friendly staff.

Cosy and friendly pub serving excellent food

Booked Sunday dinner. Good choice of meats with seasonal veg and Yorkshire pudding. Quick service and excellent meal. Managed to squeeze pudding in as well. First class and would recommend but book first as popular place.

Fish n chips twice and mushy peas please. Once again enjoying food 😋

meal was absolutely delicious well size portion well worth it and compliments to the chef ..very good service lovely staff and brilliant busy atmosphere we will revisit ...x

First time in, and we love it, excellent food and a lovely pint of Ghost Ship and Inferno blonde 👍

Lovely place. Years since I was last there. I won't leave it so long next time

Came here the other day with the family. The food was nice a lot to choose from. Good selection of drinks also. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great friendly welcome, good atmosphere with good food and beer

Once again the vegetable stir fry with chicken, and husband had beer battered haggis with whisky sauce then Thai red curry was brilliant and the staff are always so friendly

Very warm, welcoming and friendly bar.....food is 10/10.

Good pub with a great atmosphere.

As Harbour View was closed due to maintenance, we decided to try the Kings Arms fish and chips. S2orry not a patch on Harbour View.

I know it’s early in the year but this is already my contender for 2024 Pub of the Year. It’s a lovely building in a terrific location, it looks great from the outside and the inside lives up to the billing - it’s clean, full of character and welcoming with two real fires blazing on the day of our visit. With a range of well-kept real ales, excellent menu and last but not least really nice staff what’s not to like.

its the first time we have visited and it did not let us down, lovely friendly staff, my veggie option was to die for and plenty of it, the interior is quite delightful and unspoilt, i am planning my 77birthday so we shall consider making a booking ,if not then we will certainly be back for a meal in the future, thankyou to the staff team, With Kind Regard's The Robson Family At N.U.T.

Had a really lovely lunch in the kings Arms,staff were warm and very friendly. The place is wonderfully atmospheric, 2 large fires at either end of the bar. Good food selection and very decent prices will definitely return
