Having mixed up the dates of our visit to Northumberland we found we'd arrived a day too early for our Airbnb booking Thank goodness we found The Old Storehouse - the room, food and staff were fantastic and the price for B & B was a far better deal than the Airbnb we'd booked for the following 4 nights! Loved the rear access to the downstairs rooms at the back. We wished we could have stayed here for the whole of our visit.

Avoid. Food is frozen crap. Nothing is fresh. Staff are rude. Place has rapidly went down hill this year. Toilets always filthy never any toilet roll. Water on Toilet floors. Never checked. All in all it’s ran terribly

Came for a pint tonight sign on window saying closed Monday Tuesday Wednesday. Last straw for me personally the place is always empty staff are always rude except the young girl Leah who doesn’t seem to be there anymore and other young girl janine is always nice but other than them 2 nice people the place is not fit for public service. A waste of an amazing opportunity of a pub. Won’t be back.

This place used to be great but sadly, it is now abysmal! Tiny portions and astronomical prices (£4 for not even half a portion of chips!) Don't wate your money and eat elsewhere!

Absolutely dreadful, the food isn’t fresh in any way. My Greek chicken dish was like cat food, the pizza is stodgy and almost inedible. £3.50 for a J20. Avoid.

Now called the old granary. Ordered 2 burgers which were just cheap thin frozen burgers. Really poor quality tasted as they looked horrible just soft mush. Even the small pot of coleslaw was like the cheapest you can buy. Would not recommend to anyone and won't be going back for food.

Been here a few times and as had family visiting site thought I would give our on site restaurant the business. Cousins had curry which she said was fine, Aunty and I had fish & chips which is generally pretty good in here, either the oil was old and needed changing or the fish had been well over cooked as it was dark brown and the batter cracked from the fish, the chips were the same colour. My Aunty didn’t want me to complain but come on storehouse your food is either good or really bad!

We are caravan owners at Amble Links. We turned up at about 2 pm yesterday with our 3 grandchildren. We tried to sit in the restaurant area but we're told no can't sit there you have to go in bar area. Told it was first come first served. No where to sit. So left . So tosh lost a customer. Surely the waitress who told us we can't sit in restaurant area had used her brains she could have let us use a restaurant table. Personally won't go to TOSH again due to rubbish customer service. Recommend Harbour Inn instead much better service.

This pub claims to have vegan options but they did not have 2 of the options on their menu. I didn’t ask about the third, as ‘pretend’meat is not to my taste. I had a starter of falafel with hummus and it arrived without the hummus- so it was just 4 hummus balls (the Gosh brand available from Aldi and Tesco) on a bed of wilted rocket that had definitely seen better days. The only other vegan food available was chips and seasonal greens. The chips were fine but a tiny portion and the greens were kale which was pretty chewy. The 2 portions of chips, greens and falafel cost £16! Don’t claim to have vegan food if you don’t actually have it

We met some family here for sunday lunch, both families ordered seperate at the bar, 1 part of the family got their meals and ours were a further 45 minutes with a childs meal totally missed, we ordered 5 drinks and 5 meals 2 adults and 3 children, sunday lunch is nothing to write home about Turkey, rock hard parsnips, a few roast potatoes with a greasy taste, cauli, peas and carrots, the only decent thing was the yorkshire pudding, we were offered a drink on the house for the delay, the beetroot falafel was on a bed of wizened old rocket that hadnt seem a drop of water for about a month. Totally disappointed, it has definitely put us off from buying a caravan on this site

Only one other table in the restaurant and were just ignored by the waitress. Had to go to the bar to order food and drinks as service was none existent. Chef pointed us out to waitress and she just shrugged her shoulders and carried on ignoring us. Food average. Won’t be eating here again in a hurry as much better options available.

What a shambles! Called in for a drink on a sunny but cold day in the week of re-opening (had already been to a couple of bars in amble which were great & easy while being covid secure) We wanted 2 pints - quite an easy request - no food & only staying for 1 Had to download an app Create an account Order on the app Pay on the app & input card details Scan the track & trace It was the most difficult drink we’ve ever had! Took about 15 mins just to get the drinks ordered - saying 2 pints please takes about 5 seconds Totally understand there is covid measures but this is the opposite to customer friendly! At least give people the option of using the app or ordering with a waiter Only 2 staff on while we were there & numerous people left because of the wait & lack of service Not a great start after having months to prepare for opening! Also a couple of broken tables which isn’t great x Could have so much potential to be great but needs more staff & more thought

This pub is one of the better looking in Amble, but they fail to capitalise on this.The service is poor and slow due to not enough staff serving in the bar.They do not serve any beers or ciders that are popular in the north east.They used to do an excellent carvery on a Sunday, which made you overlook the poor choice of drinks.However they said they wasted too much food so they now serve up unpalatable meat and vegetables.I have seen numerous people complaining about other food on the menu.I feel sorry for the staff who are pleasant but bear the brunt of the complaints for the poor management of this pub.Perhaps they think they have got a captive audience with a holiday park on the doorstep.I hope they are using this lockdown constructively to improve because currently they do not deserve any custom at all.

My family had steak and halloumi hanging kebabs which were 1st class. I had vegan cottage pie the was also very good. Staff very friendly and professional. Only criticism I can give is that restaurant short staffed which meant a fair wait for drinks and meals. More variety for vegans like myself would also give it the full 5 ⭐ stars!! Still, it's much improved and coping with the covid 19 situation very well.

We decided to come here last minute to take advantage of the eat out to help out. We were seated in the bar area, within minutes our drinks orders were taken and brought back to us, then the waiter came and took our meal order. I ordered the steak and my husband ordered the burger. Never waited too long inbetween anything and food was cooked perfectly. Im quite fussy about ordering steak when im out for meals as you never know how long your steak is going to sit on pass before it comes out to you. But compliments too the chef and the team was fantastic from start to finish. Only one slight hiccup and was waiting an age for the bill after asking for it and having to then ask another waitress for it but nothing much to spoil the night. Thanks again and will be back

Booked a table for 5:30pm for tea with a 5 year old grandchild.We were told there was an hour wait for food when we arrived. We decided to stay and wait as there wasn't time to go elsewhere. It was nearer a two hour wait for our food. My granddaughter was nearly asleep. The chicken hanging kebabs were tender and nicely cooked but were served without any sauce which we had to ask for. The child's sausage and chips were ok. The organisation was absolutely appalling. Staff were pleasant enough but it didn't make up for the frustrating, lengthy wait.Sorry, won't be back.

I don’t even know where to start! Pre-booked and visited with my partner! Unfortunately the first impressions were not great. The service was hectic and very unprofessional. The senior member of staff was seen telling waiters off in front of customers and shouting at the chefs. We were sat near where you could see into the kitchen, which for most places is great as you can see the food being freshly prepped and prepared. But at The Old Storehouse all I saw was mass produced, microwaved and packet items of food. Onto the food, I can honestly say I’ve never eaten such bland food in my life. The chicken stripes were burnt and both my partners and my mains were probably one of the blandest, coldest and unsatisfactory meals I’ve eaten! I can honestly say this has been the worst place I’ve ever eaten. I would honestly deter people away from this place!

Whilst out for an afternoon walk, and having ventured a bit further than planned, we found ourselves with 2 hungry, tired children. One quick phone call later, and we were booked in for a last minute, late lunch at the Old Storehouse, by a very helpful lady called Rachel.On arriving at the restaurant, we were welcomed at the door by the very same lady, shown to our table, and introduced to our server. I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was clean and spacious, with plenty of signage supporting social distancing, and a large container of hand sanitiser at the entrance. There’s a handy play area outside in the front garden, which kept our kids entertained until the food arrived.Service was very quick, and the food was very tasty. There were 6 of us in our party, and we all had something different, with each of us thoroughly enjoying the meal. Prices are entirely reasonable, but with the current Eat Out To Help Out scheme, the meal was a genuine bargain.All in all, a perfectly decent place to get a really tasty meal, with good service and pricing. One I suspect we’ll find ourself eating in again.

No service for 5 minutes, then one lady started to serve, offered to deliver the drinks, so disappeared with the tray, no one else started to serve. At no point did any of the 5 acknowledge us, "sorry, will be with you in a minute...". We left.

It was terrible. We arrived at 6 o'clock having pre booked. We were seated at our table and then waited and waited and waited for 20 minutes before having to ask to make a drinks order. Add another 10 minutes before drinks arrived. After a further wait of half an hour we had to ask for menus. Eventually our order was taken. You have probably guessed by now, we were still waiting 45 minutes later when asked if our starters were on the way. They checked and informed us they were leaving the kitchen. The kitchen must have been in Newcastle. I know you are all wondering why we were still there. Well we weren't for much longer. Having been there for over two hours we requested to see the person in charge.we then found out we should have been informed on entering that ther was a 45 mins wait, fine but not in excess of over 2 hours. You may have guessed by now we left. The restaurant was not busy by the way. All I can say to you all is DON'T VISIT THIS ESTABLISH MENT WE WONT. PS never written a review before.

Booked a table and after reading other reviews was excited for our meal, after being seated on a table round the corner of the bar with no menus and no offer of drinks it took about 20mins to get someone’s attention to get some drinks, I didn’t know it could take so long to pour a pint! You would’ve though there was a queue of 50 people at the bar but there wasn’t. On a steady Tuesday evening with 6 members of out front staff you expect a good quality of service not a 20min wait for drinks and a further 15 for menus and then having to track down a member of staff so we could order our food, who looked as though it was a massive inconvenience us wanting to order food in a restaurant, imagine that, looking back it was at this point we should of called it a night, with food finally ordered and starters we were craving time keep moving on, 45 mins later I went up to the bar to found out if our starters were on the way, it was only now we were informed of the standard 45 mins wait we should have be told about from the start! ‘No worries I’ll found out were your starters are’ I was informed by staff, 2 mins later another member of staff told us they were on the way, another 15 mins still no starters in sight, this was enough, after booking a table at 6pm and still no food by 8pm I was appalled they could call themselves a restaurant. After a discussion with the manger who didn’t have much to say on the matter we left and shall never be returning, I hope this review will be helpful to others to know to avoid The Old Storehouse at all costs if you wish not to die of starvation!

Had a wonderful meal here on Valentine’s Day, my husband and I were warmly welcomed by the lovely staff and had some of the best food we have ever eaten! The main was a lovely sea bass served with crushed potatoes and roasted Mediterranean vegetables. The skin was crispy and the whole dish was delicious! Dessert was a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake with fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate, I had the Eton mess that was equally delicious. All topped off with a lovely Italian Pinot Grigio. The evening was delightful!

Food took over 45 mins , considering it was quiet I was shocked, the food was microwaved, and half of it cold, very short staffed and the staff members that was there didn’t want to be there , manager who I assume is the manager was walking round barking orders at staff , she didn’t seem like she was competent, don’t wanna speculate but she seemed drunk? Avoid this place there is many more restaurants in the area who will provide brilliant service for cheaper prices

Maybe get a second till or another person behind the bar it takes about 40 minutes to get a drink and that’s when its not to busy. Waited nearly an hour for my child’s cheeseburger which came dry and without cheese! Would not recommend this pub.

Booked a table new years eve, the restaurant had around 3 tables in when i arrived. After waiting around 20 minutes to be seated i ordered a bottle of wine the first two requested were unavailable but i saw past this and ordered out meals. We ordered nachos to start and for mains the sea bass and mushroom risotto.

We booked late because we didn't know until December that we were having our family on Christmas Day. So we took pot luck on the first place that still had places. We did not expect such an honest and lovingly prepared meal. It was the little things; the perfectly cooked sprouts, the buttery mash and the proper gravy. Sometimes pot luck pays off! I hope the cook that day gets to read this. We were the Brands and we had a great time. Thanks to the staff too.

Had a lovely visit here recently, food was well priced and served quick, very tasty too. The team were very polite and attentive, I would certainly recommend this establishment in the local area for a visit!

We had an ‘ok’ meal here recently, nothing to write home about. It’s a real shame really because it has potential to be a great eating space.

I’m amazed that this place gets away with serving such bad food. I’ve eaten in all the eateries in Amble and this is the only one that has been a total disappointment. I ordered a Caesar’s chicken salad which came with packet croutons, about 10 lettuce leaves and hardly any shaved shaved cheese, hardly any dressing all of which obviously came out of the same kit at the croutons. The chicken on top was dry and tough. When our waitress came over to ask if everything was ok I told her the chicken was dry she said would I like more sauce? Not would you like us to cook you another! Obviously one of those places that get the food in already prepared and if it’s not they have no excuse.

We are currently on holiday in Amble and went out for a long walk along the harbour side and across the Pier. Finding ourselves at the Paddlers Pool and in past the cemetery it was a bit blustery and we started to get quite cold. Then an oasis lay before us as we encountered The Old Storehouse. Gorgeous log fire, pleasant background music and friendly staff. We got ensconced beside the fire, and enjoyed a couple of drinks before our return walk. Lovely atmosphere and a welcome respite from the cold wind. Thoroughly recommend.

Went for our tea here last week and really enjoyed it. Food was tasty and hot and service good. Sometimes the Storehouse can be hitty missy but this time it was very good.

We thought this pub might have views of the sea but it doesn’t quite. Spacious, light and airy it’s designed for the holiday-makers it serves on the caravan site. The menu choice is reasonable, I went for beef pasty and chips. The homemade style meal came quickly and was okay, but was not packed with meat. Everybody else on our table reported their meals were tasty.

Popped in for lunch and was v disappointed with the poor quality of the food. The cheese and ham toasted sandwich had one slice (and I mean one slice) of the cheapest wafer thin ham I’ve ever encountered and whatever cheese had been added (plastic slice I suspect) was undetectable, only a few orange specs remained! Husband had some sort of pizzola which was fairly lacklustre. Both side salads came undressed and regular Bog standard slaw rather than kale slaw - not as per menu. I don’t see how any establishment which aims to serve high quality food every time could have served either of these meals.

I've visited here nermousn amounts of time as a public customer and cannot fault the food it the staff at all, they try their best and always made me feel comfortable whenever I visit, I've worked and been in many hospitality industries but here I've had the best food in the whole of Amble! The only thing that really let this place down are the owners of the caravans on Park, they are terrible with the staff there! They try to make their own experience bad as it opened to the local now. If it wasn't for the owners constantly making a public scene this place would blsoom. I've personally witnessed owners talk about and staff in an awful manner using unpleasant words in front of their own kids and others and the staff, but this has never stopped me from going. Absolutely fabulous place, maybe a chnage of owners would make the public go there more often.

So you have had a great day looking around, maybe a walk along the beach and you’re looking that cosy place to settle down, have a nice drink and bite to eat - look no further, this is the place!

This used to be the best family pub in Amble. Eaten here so many times. The quality of the food has gone totally down the drain. Microwaved rubbish has replaced hand cut chunky chips and locally sourced fish and burgers. Do yourself a favour and drive straight past. If you go on a weekend as well as poor food they are likely to have ran out of most draught beers.

What the hell has happened to the Storeshouse. Gobsmacked following our visit today (28/07). Standards have gone down so fast, almost as fast as the Sunday dinner came out........... bing bing microwaved!! We are locals and call in now and then for a drink and food, can’t believe the change in the place. Empty, no atmosphere on the one day it’s usually busy. Terrible food, very disappointed.

We went for lunch as we were on holiday and it is very pet friendly. The staff were so pleasant and friendly. The food came very quickly and was lovely. The main menu portions are large and not for the faint hearted! We could not fault the pub. It was clean and well appointed. We will return next year when we visit Amble again. Big thumbs up.

Went with family, never again. Ordered Scampi and chips fish and chips. The scampi consited of 6 of the smallest scampi i had ever seen and a boat load of frozen chips. The fish was about 3 inches square and cost £11 each. Might as well have gone to the local chippy it was that bad.

Manage to get a last minute booking here for Sundays dinner, the Sunday dinners were fantastic and suited my small children too. The portions were huge, they were very helpful the staff and so friendly to me and my family. They gave my small dog a water bowl too some treats. I would come here again if I came back to wooler.
