Total rip off. Big prices and appalling food with tiny portions! Don't waste you money! I mean, £4 for this tiny portion of chips is simply outrageous. This place used to be great and I even left numerous positive reviews here and elsewhere. Over the last year or so it has got gradually worse and worse and I fear is now in terminal decline. Despite being a patron for over 15 years I simply refuse to be ripped off and taken for a mug any more. Please please please sort it out before you run the business into the ground!

Nipped in for a bite to eat before driving home , safe to say we won’t be back . Food came out way too quick to be fresh .Burger tased like something off a cheap burger van ,kids burger was dry , and the chicken was rubbery like it had been microwaved . Very small choice on the menu , and considering it’s a seaside town there was only fish & chips or scampi on the menu, would have thought there would been a wider fish selection. Staff in the kitchen had long hair uncovered whilst doing the food. Waited for staff to notice we had finished for about 15mins before having to ask for the kids deserts . The place was empty and now i understand why . Next time we will stop off in town for food .

Very disappointing 🙁 Came for food on a weeknight and even though it was very quiet it still seemed understaffed. Food mostly tasted microwaved, cake was dry and pizza was extremely bready with way too much cheese. Could be enjoyable to some but too greasy for my taste. We didn’t complain because the staff already seemed rushed but it seems a shame as this used to be a lovely place to eat.

Updating on latest experience, food is absolutely terrible, raw pizza, raw chicken served to us vile, pints tasted water down, the food seems to be all frozen and just not made fresh on the premises which is a real shame, staff were hopeless today as well, when sent raw pizza back was given a horrible look, and a long sigh, no offer of a replacement just a shrug off, simply not good enough won't be going back anytime soon !!!!

Sunday visit, 2pmish and the place was near enough empty which was a sign to leave then. Staff unwelcoming. Order roast beef dinners which had no taste, beef was possibly boiled, not roasted, roast potatoes were soft on the outside, might as well have been boiled, onion and spring onion in salad order with kids meal. Food served to table by a young lady who barely spoke, had no training on table service, no offer of salt, pepper, nothing. The staff were seen eating, drinking and laughing next to serving area with kitchen staff in view and hearing of customers, just before the bar and kitchen staff were then seen smoking directly outside the open fire escape of the kitchen. On seeing me looking, they pushed the door too, I was going to take a photo for proof, no staff were in the bar at this time, apart from one female who had been cleaning windows at the other end of the building and approached a man patiently waiting to be served. On a Sunday afternoon this pub should have been busier but it wasn't. Food is expensive for its quality and it was tasteless, drinks are over priced, and combined poor staff attitude, its a sinking ship. I blame the management as they clearly have no interest, don't care enough to improve bar, restaurant service. Security cams might help provide a pic should anyone be interested in my comments for needed improvements. 5 star caravan Park next door, this bar has some work to concentrate on to get customers to return.

Food is ok... For a cafe....... This is a restaurant but they sell cafe food at restaurant prices. Chicken often is so crispy is flies off the plate when you try to cut it, service isn't great, takes forever to be served. Atmosphere isn't great, more like a pub when there's a football match, but the "restaurant" is just a little place on the side of the bar, no walls.

I used to go here a few years back and the food was great. However, I recently visited for a Sunday dinner and it was a huge letdown. The Sunday lunch was clearly not cooked fresh. The potatoes were cold, burnt and dry. That said, the meat wasn't too bad. I'd like to see the staff more attentive to who enters the building. I was stood there for a good few mins before anyone spoke to me. Even a quick "I'll be with you in a sec while I serve these others" would go a long way. No wonder the car park was empty. I'm a bit disappointed. This place has bags of potential too. Such a shame. Hopefully, the management sees this and can address the problems.

Do not keep to the advertised opening times for food and last orders. Especially Sunday to Thursdays. In fact we were made to feel that uncomfortable with staff constantly walking past us and starting to turn lights off as there was only us in the pub. Impossible to make plans to go for a meal. The next night I rang up at 8:15 to see if they were still serving food and I was told they couldn't guarantee it. Hence we didn't bother so we walkedt into Amble. I'm sick of giving them second chances, well not anymore.

First impression on going in was that it was wasn’t busy on a Saturday night. Now I know why. We ordered 5 meals altogether, they arrived at the table with 10 or 15 minute gaps between them. Quality of food was poor to be polite. It was the worst meal I’ve been served in a very long time. Most of it went back to the kitchen when the plates were collected. The rest of the food was ok at best but value for money was poor. I’d rather have given my money to someone who really needed it.

At no point were we asked if everything was OK and guy who brought food had his big overcoat on all the time making us feel very unwelcome.

Comfortable and friendly and dog friendly. Plenty of places outside for children to play and the price of the children's meals is reasonable. Staffing is not consistent - sometimes you can't get hold of a member or staff and other times they overwhelm. Adult meals vary - I would have given it 4 stars but the vegetarian options are very limited.

The generic cop out of 'Hours may differ' is not a good enough 'Get Out of Jail Free Card' to just throw in at the bottom. I have always used the Storehouse as a Caravan owner at Amble Links but I turned up tonight at 1945hrs to be told that Last Orders were at 1930hrs where does it say this? I haven't got a crystal ball🤷‍♂️. A better standard of communication regarding timings along with other up to date information would be more appreciated and if you're closing earlier than the Closing Time stated, then tell everyone via yr official page! If it's going to be like that throughout the week at this difficult time then amend the Times with a Footnote.Easy Fix. Not impressed.

The wife and i were staying in a holiday cottage just down the road from here, and thought it would be rude not to try the place. Glad we did, as the food here was amazing. The wife had chicken linguine, which apparently was absolutely gorgeous. I had Hunters chicken, which a lot of pubs do, but this was easily the best I've had. I had a couple of pints of Mansfield ale as well, and that was a nice pint. Highly recommended place to eat

A highlight was the scallop with belly pork, a brilliant dish. Next morning breakfast, again flawless in every respect from the service to the produce.

I’m so sad to see this lovely place closed. It had great staff and atmosphere and a fantastically good smoked haddock chowder. I wish its people all the best and I thank them for all the great visits we’ve had here. I really hope that there might be a replacement cafe of such quality. We’ll watch with interest.
