The Milbourne Arms in Northumberland

Lovely food first class service

Excellent from start to finish. Reserved a couple of tables for our Grandaughter's Birthday meal (her choice). Service was fantastic, lovely atmosphere and beautiful food. We all had various meals and couldn't fault any of it...oh and the coffee was delicious 😋 thank you.

Just had a lovely Sunday dinner at the Milbourne. Generous portions of Lamb and Pork all done beautifully. Served with Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings. All the veg was done beautifully and the cauliflower cheese was delicious. Got the apple crumble and custard for desert with cinnamon and my wife got the cheesecake with cream. First time here and all of the staff were very friendly and efficient. Definitely be back. 👍

A great Sunday roast, already looking forward to returning. We turned up and didn’t have a booking but the staff and chef kindly allowed us in to have food. The service was incredible as well as the food. The meat was lovely and tender. Would definitely recommend for a roast.

Excellent meal for being pub grub. Not the usual standard menu..very impressed with soup & main course which filled me and made me too full to get a sweet

Excellent food, lovely oitdoor space. You can see the chefs at work, they are very pleasant and professional. Haven't had a bad meal, just called in at lunchtime for a sandwich, lovely 😋

(11.7.24) first time here and would definitely come back. Really nice place to eat and drink. Came for lunch, and it was delicious.

So glad we found this place! Best meal we have had in a long time. I ordered the special Moroccan style Tacos they were so tasty and very filling. My wife ordered the fish finger sandwich, the batter was lovely and crispy the fish was amazing and the bread it was served in was so good! We will be back to try more from the menu! Excellent service and lovely and cosy place to be

Very welcoming,great service and atmosphere. Nothing is to much trouble..

Booked a table for Sunday lunch for 4 + 2 dogs after walking down Holywell dene. As it was a nice day asked if we could sit outside, staff were really friendly and helpful despite being really busy. Great options for Sunday roast. The porchetta was superb, one of the best Sunday roasts we’ve had in a long while! Big portion sizes and really good value, will definitely be back!

Popped in for drink, saw the food being served and thought we'd try the Sunday lunch. We ordered the "modest" portion, couldn't believe how much food was served. The slow cooked beef was beautiful as were the vegetables. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the staff are lovely which makes all the difference. We will definitely pop back, maybe during the week to sample other dishes.

Really nice pub, good service and plenty people in having dinner. There's parking at the front and down the side. Good dinner time menu but the price was canny high. Would still recommend !

Dropped in Saturday afternoon with kids. Service great and food very good. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, friendly staff, modern decor

Lovely Sunday lunch, beef was cooked perfectly! Staff were very helpful. A lovely local pub, will be back soon to try the rest of the menu 🌟

Popped in for a bite to eat . Great friendly service . With hindsight should have asked for a plate rather than the plank it arrived on so less chance of wearing it . I will know for next time .

Well worth a visit. Just had Sunday lunch here, and the food was really good. Place was busy but the staff were very friendly and working hard. Roast dinner was very tasty, and the trio of meat was lovely. Puddings were also very good. Would definitely come back as couldn't fault the place. Allows Dogs aswell which is great. Thanks

Staff helpful food lovely and I sat in the Barn with Lucy my Dog loved seeing Wendy today always happy and smiling see you Sunday Wendy x

Went in for some food and it was very nice

Nice village pub serving exquisite home made food, undoubtedly one of the best lasagnes I’ve ever had. Staff were super friendly and efficient helping to make my girlfriend’s 21st birthday meal a success. Only let down by the dog friendly part of the venue being a completely seperate less atmospheric outbuilding dominated by sport on tv and commentary

Staff attitude is very poor which is a shame because the food is great! used to go here every Sunday with the family but we won’t be back.

Been meaning to sample the fare here for a while, having heard good reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Will definitely be going again.

Lovely friendly welcome food very tasty homecooked dishes

Went the the open mic night on Wednesday night, pre drinks before going was a mistake before trying to play 🤣 lush bar and the staff were awesome, John ran a totally great open mic night, definitely going back

Great pub, exactly what a pub should be highly recommend 😀

The food was very greasy. It was not really palatable. I won't be rushing back. It's ashame as it was nice a few years ago.

Yes our daughter was 10 minutes late. But booking a table at 12pm we didn't expect our food to arrive till 1.10pm. The beef was so tough we really needed steak knives. Overall very poor. No one asked how our meals were, for good reason obviously. Never mind. Lesson learnt.

Tried calling into the fat ox. Sadly it's been taken over by Greene king so didn't stay. Pub now more interested in serving shareholders than drinkers!

Went on Wednesday night, we had a ploughman's it was huge and lovely. Would recommend. Sat outside in the lovely well kept garden in the sunshine. 👍

Great pub, cracking range of drinks

Great Sunday dinner, everything nice n freshly cooked, great service n nice relaxed atmosphere

A nice little pub with great food and a canny atmosphere, definitely worth a trip!

Lovely Sunday dinner, service was really good. Will definitely be going back.

Absolutely fantastic place to go for lunch. We discovered this place when walking our dog and looked for a dog friendly place. This is it and we are now regulars. Lunch is amazing but Sunday lunch is to die for. Love the place, love the service and very friendly atmosphere.

Food as good as ever, but a price increase again

Don't go anywhere else but here! We came here for dinner and had the fish finger sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich. Both served in either baguette or ciabbatta. We had one of each. They came with chips and coleslaw, absolutely gorgeous food and we were seated in the Stables which is the section that is dog friendly along with the beer garden. As it was midweek and in the middle of the day we were the only ones in the Stables. Once we had our food and drinks the lady said let your dog off the lead so he can wander around and shut the door so Ozzy had some freedom which was appreciated. We then booked for the following Friday evening for an evening meal. I had the lamb shank and my husband had the steak pie. Again amazing food and service. I could not recommend this place enough especially if you are looking for somewhere to eat with a dog. The best place we have been to all holiday.

Lovely pub great outdoor seating and dog friendly.

Went today for Father’s Day .. 20 + plus of us.. sat in the sables .. pool tables loads of screens with sport on .. quiz machine and bar within .. all had Sunday lunch which was very good .. few had puddings all sued lovely .. Service great .. give it a try you won’t be disappointed

Sat in sun garden. Friendly and food food was amazing.

Excellent food, nice staff and a warm welcome. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Milbourne Arms.

Lovely pub great food Lovely staff

Booked well in advance for a party of 10 on the Bank Holiday and was pleasantly suprised that it was not overly busy, when we got there, was getting busier as we left. Staff were helpful and friendly and food was lovely, everyone enjoyed their meal. Would recommend 👌

Disappointed with the experience here. When we ordered we were not advised the food would take so long. It would be sensible to tell the customer there would be an excessive wait for food. After waiting nearly an hour, we enquired and was told the food would be at !east another 20 minutes. Therefore we left without trying the food, which was a shame as it looked good. Would not return after this experience.

Wow went today with mam and sister totally loved it beautiful food and service

Went out for tea, food very good and service. Will return

Food was lovely, nicely presented, tasty and generous proportions. Great service too. Dessert options sounded really nice but we were too full with the main course.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Service was a little bit slow but overall a great meal with family

Had lunch with friends, friendly staff and generous portions of good food. Enjoyed a return walk using the wagon ways from Monkseaton.

Lovely relaxing place , food was excellent and service was friendly and quick went with work friends for lunch catch up would recommend 100%

Stopped in for a quick pint whilst walking in the area. The pub is a nice pub with friendly staff. They only had one real ale but it was really well kept.

Dog friendly... food looked delicious however we never tried. We will definitely be back to try though!

Had Sunday dinner here last Sunday service was exceptional Sunday dinner huge given extra gravy and condiments without even asking for them. Food was delicious large portions fantastic atmosphere Recommend Sunday lunch or even just drinks!

Vegetables were a bit hard and warm not hot but overall the dinner was lovely beef was really tender.

Was quiet but very friendly helpful staff. Nice place and the food was lovely. Will definitely go back.

Felt very comfortable and not rushed.

The first time I've eaten here. It certainly won't be the last. My friend and myself were welcomed warmly by a lovely waitress. She took our drinks order, our dinner order. I had the belly pork,cooked perfectly. My friend had the steak and mushroom pie with handcut skin on fries . Both portions were extremely generous. The food was hot and flavourful . A 5* experience. We were very impressed

We had a fab night at the light switch on. Lovely food and great atmosphere. We stayed for karaoke which was brilliant! Highly recommended this place!

Absolutely brilliant, loved everything about it, we would definitely recommend it to our family and friends, the staff and food were lovely, can't wait to go back ☺️

Tastiest fish and chips I've had in a long time. Meal was piping hot. Service was extremely good. Would go back again.

First time in for years what a change, very good food nice warm atmosphere excellent service would highly recommend to anyone.

Decent food, good beer and great music.

Lovely friendly pub. Great food and atmosphere and staff are always welcoming. Sarah Bradley in particular is an asset to the pub 🍻

Nice pint great atmosphere lovely pub and facilities

Excellent lunch today... value for money and very 😋😋😋tasty..10/10 to the chef. 20 years since we lived here... great to be back... Hazel & Phil

Easily the best Sunday dinner I’ve had around the coast. That good we’ve been back multiple times & recommended to friends & family who all agree it’s amazing. Can’t wait to go back.

Huge portions and got a lovely feel. Two lovely out door areas. Also a sports bar separate to the main pub. What a great idea. Think it could be used for private parties too as it has its own bar built in.

Best pub around lovely food excellent staff,brilliant chef& kitchen staff clean & friendly pub worth visiting am a regular 😋 & dog friendly courtyard or beer garden at front keep up good work & friendly atmosphere 😀

We booked for Sunday lunch. We booked for 4 but turned up with 5 which was no problem for the young waitress. On arrival I was slightly concerned as no one in there was eating. But wow! The food was fantastic. The children woofed down there very generous chicken dinners child's portion. I am a very fussy veggie and I certainly was not disappointed with my nut roast - which I would usually leave and very impressed that I had my own portion of veggie gravy without having to ask. Finally the biggest compliment we could give is that the other half said his pork dinner was the best Sunday dinner he's had in ages. 😍The young staff were brilliant waitresses and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

Nice food friendly good price but avoid karioke nights if you want a quiet meal

Absolutely amazing. Food was divine, pub it's self is beautiful and the staff were lovely

Gorgous food , lovely staff . Would come again for sure . My only complaint is that one of the toilets had no seat .

Lovely quirky pub near Holywell Dene

The Milbourne Arms is absolutely brilliant. We had a party in the Stables which is Soo wonderful and the staff were out of this world - especially Paula. Soo helpful and lovely and made everyone feel Soo welcome as well as all the extra lovely staff. The 2 chef's did a greattt job with the tasty food they made for our guests. Everyone said they had the best time. The courtyard area outside was perfect to sit outside on the table and chairs. There was a fabuloussss singer playing inside which made our night extra fun too. Thank you to all the amazzzing staff at the Milbourne Arms. Everyone said they will be visiting again. Couldn't have asked for a better night and everyone made our party extra extra special.xo

First time in years since last visited and its had quite a makeover. Food choice was great and tasted amazing. Good selection of ales

Family friendly, lush food and pleasant staff.

Excellent food and beautiful interior, staff more than helpful and very welcoming will go back

Nice friendly pub with good real ale

Waited 45 minutes for bar meal and it was clay cold when served. Ciabata bread was difficult to cut even with a steak knife. We won't return.

Excellent Pub Four of us called and had a great meal. The service was first class thanks to Millie nothing was a bother to her with a smile on her face all the time Try it out you won't be disappointed Bll

Very good Sunday lunch. Good atmosphere and warm and friendly service. Enjoyed our visit

Booked the Stable room for an occasion, the staff were great, food excellent, service brilliant and the room was perfect - thank you

Called in with friends for a light bite and coffee. Didn't disappoint, coffee delicious, chips were very tasty. The young lady who served us was very pleasant and cheerful 😊

Booked a room for "wake" 😒 Absolutely superb reception, food, staff and all at a very acceptable price. Book it for mine 🤣😉🤓

Great food and service. Lovely welcome on arrival. Very nice location and decor....toilets clean. Sunday lunch was delicious.

Great Sunday lunch. Food was very tasty.

Great night great staff great food left there stuffed as a puffs arse.....was like angels dancing on my tongue

Lovely venue with a wonderful host.

Good food and beer, great service, will definitely be back.

Went in for lunch today and I would have given 5 stars but the waitress wasn't very attentive. The food is delicious as usual but the waitress forgot my drink and kept disappearing when we wanted something. She just needs to be a bit more smiley and chatty, didn't seen very friendly and made me feel a bit like I was an inconvenience.

Very good nite staff are lovely

Great pub with good beer and amazing staff. Happy to visit this pub regularly.

Great place ,very hospitable voved it

Fantastic bar meal really great service it was gorgeous. X

Food was fantastic. Staff were lovely. No criticisms whatsoever.

Brilliant atmosphere, good drinks and amazing staff. Will be returning very soon to try the food next!

Friendly staff. Nicely decorated. A good pint of Blonde Ale.

Has recently been renovated, very good. Service, excellent and very friendly. Food was lovely especially the chunky chips.

This is a great pub! We like to cycle here from cullercoats as its just off of the cycle path that runs past Holywell Dene. There's a spacious beer garden out the front, that gets the sunshine, where you can watch the world go by, or a sheltered courtyard out the back with lights and foliage. Or ofcourse plenty of seating indoors. The menu offers a decent choice and the food is tasty. I had vegetable curry with flavoursome mushrooms and naan bread. In short: Clean, friendly, comfortable country pub with good food and drinks. Parking available, bus stop out the front.

Enjoy our first time experience will be back soon

Lovely weekend away, Beautiful place, beautiful owners,highly recommended, can't wait to visit again.
