The Salmon Inn in Northumberland

Brilliant place to eat and very friendly staff

A chilled out place showing the football. Drinks extremely reasonable and allowed our dog. Felt welcome and would return.

Lovely place with a good small pub atmosphere and very friendly staff. Would come again!

Never any food on a regular basis. Atmosphere not friendly at all & the "child" behind the bar serving could not handle even the smallest of orders.

Decent few pints of Guinness and friendly staff. Can't ask for more than that. Didn't eat here so can't comment on the food.

This is just a great little pub. Great landlord, clean and fresh interior with a good selection of drinks. Their roast dinner on a Sunday is top notch, great quality and even better value for money. All the best sport on also if want to watch while eating or drinking

We didn't eat here, but it's a good place to sit, relax, and have a drink.

Nice outside area Nice staff only downside was no food when we went owing to no chef

A decent locals type pub. Clean and spacious with 2 real ales. Big outside area for seats

Lovely food. Very friendly staff. Dogs very welcome. Value for money

As a pub it's too small when the back food area isn't open. It's full of locals. They're not unfriendly, it's just that it's cramped. I wouldn't recommend to travellers/tourists when restaurant is closed. It was too warm too.

Lovely food .Lovely staff .Great service .. Definitely be back .

Good beer, pub empty. Did not have any food.

In Belford's embrace, where Northumberland's grace, The Salmon Inn resides, a charming place. With walls of stories, whispers of old, A haven of warmth, and stories yet untold. The scent of salmon lingers in the air, And laughter fills the corners with care. Cosy hearths beckon, and friends do gather, To share in moments that forever matter. In beautiful Northumberland's embrace, The Salmon Inn stands, a cherished space. A refuge for travelers, a local's delight, Where memories dance through the night. So raise a glass to this cherished inn, Where joy and kinship always begin. In Belford's heart, with its Northumberland pride, The Salmon Inn's beauty shall forever reside.

Had Sunday lunch. Food was very nice.

Was quiet both times we called in but the staff were fun and friendly. The food was lovely both times

Nice pub with nice food. Reasonable prices & friendly staff. Dog friendly too. Into the Salmon again July 2023. Still a great little pub, really decent prices! Definitely worth popping in, if you're in the area.

Closest pub to caravan park. Friendly staff.

Good tidy pub, On maps as a restaurant, but they do good food, great beer gardens and beers.

Friendly local beer-house. Made famous by visits by Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor!

Would 100% a visit to this Pub, dog friendly, food was amazing, well priced and the staff were lovely, would definitely have a return visit when in this area

Very friendly staff and a great place to relax. Dog friendly too.

Visited here for a few drinks in February 2023. Watched the Rugby Italy v France. Friendly bar staff and locals 🙃🙂

Watched the newcastle match boxing day Good cosy pub

Second favourite pub in the world.

Very welcoming, good pint, well priced. Just a pity food was not being served.

Simple pub food, good service. The Website is out of date so don't look at that menu. Picture of menu September 2022.

Extremely well run pub and restaurant, food exceptional

Just had Sunday lunch .meat melt in your mouth roast potatoes crispy veg fresh well cooked cauliflower cheese fantastic recommend to anybody well worth every penny 👍👍

Good old traditional pub food Can't go wrong with that.

Nice pub food nice not a big choice on menu but this could change.

Excellent home cooked food at a very high standard service was excellent can certainly recommend this place

Had a very nice Sunday Roast lunch here.

Fantastic. Called ahead to book a table. And with them being dog friendly made it even better. But at last minute we decided not to take our dog with us due to him being a bit of a nightmare.. and still very young. Drinks offered at our table. Order taken. And very quick service. Dinner was huge and worth every penny. It was beautiful. Which was good to see after seeing the picture online on their website. That picture almost turned us away. All in all very happy with service - company - food and a great atmosphere 😀 Well done 👏

One of the best pub meals I have had for along time . The staff where very helpful and polite. Well done 👏

No draught beer available, no food.

No food available Monday to Friday

We were staying in Belford, popped in for a drink and a meal. Good pub good, good service

Nice Sunday lunch good value nice beer

The food was lovely, service was great and friendly. Beer was good send pub was nice.

Friendly staff and locals. Good prices on their beers

First impressions count and we weren't impressed.

Dog friendly.. nice pint and not expensive.

A really lovely place with the warmest welcome from the team and the locals 👌🏼

Good night here with entertainment a bonus

Visited here last week whilst on holiday in the area....Like other reviews the place is a little tired and frayed around the edges but the service and food which we had was PUB GRUB at its best...I had the local Bamburgh sausages and mash which was just top quality....The others had the lasagne and thay all said it was excellent....

Very pleasant atmospheric pub with food and good beer. The Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker is delicious.

Great local pub jaa three seperate rooms one room front with bar cosy with bench seating. 2nd room darts area with Tv and seating. 3rd room pool table with seating and tv. and also has outsoor seating at back near small to rear carpark part of outdoor is covered. Very friendly pub we took 2 little dogs inside. Lovely pint

4 of us arrived late on Sunday 12th September having not got in anywhere else. We were welcomed and accommodated. The roast dinner was served quickly and was delicious. Everything about the meal was lovely including the price £9.99!. The place itself is very unpretentious but the food exceeded our expectations so WELL DONE!

A fine local pub serving good food and beer with a smile. I'll be back.

An allright pub plenty seating outside bit rough round the edges Good pint bar staff canny

Home cooked food. Lots of it and well made. Well kept beer. Dog friendly. Prices much more reasonable than beadnell is now.

During our holiday in Northumberland we celebrated my wife's birthday. I arranged a surprise party at The Salmon Inn in Belford. When we arrived the table was set out with banners which the staff arranged. There was a good selection of food on menu. Food was excellent, I recommend the steak & ale pie, it was delicious. The service we received from the waitress was brilliant. Everyone of our party enjoyed the meal & my wife had a lovely birthday. Thank you to all the staff at The Salmon.

Visited whilst staying in Belford village the staff are great, the building however is very tired and needs a refurb, some of the clientele are also a bit dubious. One very important thing if you are staying in Belford is that nowhere serves food on a Monday a fact we discovered to our peril, thank goodness for the Coop on West St.Back to the Salmon, the menu is somewhat limited i tried Fish and Chips which was very well cooked my wife had Lasagne and my Daughter the Burger both said they were good - with starters and a round of drinks it was £58 which wasnt the cheapest but when in Rome etc....

Just went for a drink here, glasses stuck to the table not very clean.

Just been for a "meal" with my 2 children & with friends & her family only to greeted with a VERY UNFRIENDLY face ,menu very limited & could & have cooked better in my caravan & to be asked if I'm ready for the bill before I've even asked for it I find that immensely offensive absolutely horrible food & service......do not go ..save your money!!!!

Booked a table here as stayed at the campsite down the road. Menu was just standard pub food but there wasn’t anything for vegetarians. Dog friendly. But the food was a disappointment I’m sorry to say. I hate it when places use frozen chips, what’s wrong with actual potatoes? And the fish and chips, sadly that fish was not fresh, it had definitely been frozen, it was watery as hell. Not my kind of place I’m afraid, though the other reviews and photos made out it was pretty decent. Sorry guys

Popped in here for a coffee. Quick service and coffee and drinks were lovely

Friendly atmosphere. Good beer. Watched the rugby on Sky sports here.

This is just the place if you want straightforward, well cooked pub food. No frills, just what it says on the tin. Not sure they were up to speed with vegetarian or other dietary requirement (listening in to other conversations) so check first.

Sorry I have to say the food we had here was very poor.The so called “chicken burger” was just some plain unseasoned chicken slapped on a bun with a bit of lettuce! It wasn’t a burger.The chips I had with some Lasagne were nearly black, no joke. I suspect the oil was old and hadn’t been changed for a while as they weren’t crispy either.Such a shame ☹️

Very pleasant unhurried evening meal. Polite staff. The food was excellent. Glad we booked our table the day before.

Needed to book , not biggest menu but quality food. All enjoyed.

Brilliant pub. Fabulous staff and fantastic selection of drinks. A gem

Plain good food from a good pub adjusted for Covid (served fresh peas ) 😆

Great village pub, friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere.

We went to the Salmon Inn for dinner whilst visiting the area and it was local - We didn’t expect a restaurant standard meal as this is a localPub in a small town. Covid rules in place ! The meal was lovely and home cooked- having had chips for a couple of days we all had mash with pie or sausage - it was the best pie !! Lots of steak so obviously home made with extra gravy !

Someone put review that pub wasn’t friendly we didn’t find this the case,welcomed & served at table as per covid restrictions,locals & other visitors were chatting to us,prices reasonable & nice pint of Timothy Taylor Bootmaker,not sure if they were doing food but no complaints

Relaxed atmosphere staff brillianf

Food was below standard, staff were great

We were visiting in June 2021 and so tried to book a number of weeks ahead. They did not respond to email contacts or answer their telephone when we tried to call several times.

Hidden gem. Food very good, and locals very friendly. Will definitely be going back . Scenery cant be beaten.

Spot on for a pint after a long walk. Super friendly and welcoming. Thank you

All we could do, due to covid was have a drink in the beer garden. A very friendly place and dod friendly

The Salmon is a nice place to eat. It's a covid safe environment, the staff are friendly and helpful. The food was really good and plenty of it.

Visited on the evening of 30 September. We couldn’t fault it, amazing staff, all covid precautions in place & above all else the food was amazing, good portions & well presented, thank you.

A group of us had sunday lunch on bank holiday, food was tremendous and I would recomend it to any one. If you ever visit Belford try the Salmon.

Been here twice during our weeks stay here in Belford. Lovely food brilliant value for money. The staff are so friendly and they made us and the kids feel very welcome.My husband enjoyed the special so much he had it on both visits!Would definitely recommend.

The service was great from a friendly and attentive young chap on the bar. The chef also offered to do my son a chicken curry instead of the vegetable curry on the menu, so for the service alone, the Salmon gets a 3.The food, however, is probably only worth a 2.My wife and I ordered the 'homemade' steak and ale pie, but nothing served on our table that night was homemade. My daughter received the cheapest quality chicken nuggets, the kind where every nugget is an identical size and shape, and frozen chips. She loved them to be fair , but it was certainly not worth the £5.50 we paid. The chicken curry was ok and my son enjoyed it, but it was very much a reheated readymeal. My steak and ale pie was, sadly, the poorest I've ever had! Edible, but dry and tasteless 'steak' topped with a puff pastry crust that was identical to that of my wife's and therefore, due to their bland flavour and uniform appearance, led me to conclude that this too was courtesy of another frozen readymeal. It was served with more frozen wholesale chips and some canned vegetables that were so foul I couldn't eat them. Surely it is easy and cheap enough to buy some fresh vegetables and steam or boil them for each meal. Charging over £10 for a meal with canned vegetables really is unacceptable.At least update the menu and remove the word 'homemade' as this is misleading!Well done on the service though. We were made to feel very welcome and that is why we left a small tip.

Do not go to the Black Swan Belford. We booked a meal here and arrived on time only to be told that the chef had left a couple of weeks ago. They hadn’t the manners to contact us and tell us this. As we are walking the Northumberland Coast path and haven’t got a car with us we were devastated. Luckily, we saw the sign for The Salmon Inn further down the street. We called in on the off chance and were welcomed by a friendly barman who showed us to a table, The menu looked good, so we ordered a bottle of lovely Chilean Sauvignon £14.95. The food was beaut I presented and the service excellent. The two young waiters were. Rey pleasant, nothing was any trouble to them. The atmosphere in the pub was good and social distancing observed. All in all a thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable evening. if ever we are back in Belford we would have no hesitation in dining out at The Salmon. Thanks for a super evening.

Dog friendly, Sunday Lunch tasty, & covo19 clean

Just been in for a meal and had a fabulous steak and ale pie. We also had salt and pepper chicken (as good as any we have had), lasagne and the burger pizza. We would happily come back for another meal or recommend it to others. Quiet but to be expected so soon after pubs can reopen post covid, all precautions in place and friendly bar staff. Good beer, nicely decorated, will come back for a meal

Really basic pub, beer was off and said so but didn't change the barrell. Food was run of the mill. Staff were friendly enough

If you like grotty pubs with lots of foul-mouthed locals then this is your place. Looks good from the outside but that's as far as it goes. Wouldn't go back even if the beer was free. Pity, as they sell a decent pint of Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker.

Dreadful Experience. Avoid This Pub !!! The wife and I was staying in Belford for a short break and thought we would pop into The Salmon Inn one evening What a mistake !!! We had already read some less than favorable reviews however, we thought we make up our own mind. The bar area was like The Slaughtered Lamb in The American Werewolf In London, A large group of locals sat in the middle of the pub all stopped what they were doing and turned to face us as we entered. Unperturbed, we bought some drinks and took a seat. The next 30 mins we sat listening to a barrage of loud conversation liberally peppered with swear words. We aren't prudes but this was every other word. The group was spread out across the pub so if we or anyone else wanted to enter the lounge to get away from the rabble it would have been impossible. Occasionally the lady behind the bar would admonish the group for their language but this was done weakly and with no affect as the lady was taking part in their conversation. The final straw occurred when again after a loud swearing episode took place, the barmaid shouted "Mind your language, we have other customers" for one of the group to reply to her "F*** Them" which was greeted with much laughter by the group and the bar staff, leaving my wife and I feeling incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome. We quickly finished our drinks and left, never to return. Do yourself a favour, give The Salmon Inn a wide berth and walk up to The Black Swan 100 yards away, you'll get a much warmer welcome

Was staying in belford and was looking for somewhere for food. My partner didnt want to go in the bar for a quick drink as i would of been the only woman there. Went into the back room ordered 2 pizzas which were very nice home cooked. Had a couple of drinks as no one was in apart from us on a Saturday night. The girl behind the bar was nice and friendly she never stopped.

We ate here on Christmas Day with our family and we couldn't fault either the meal itself, which was delicious, or the service we received from the very friendly staff. We returned to eat on New Year's day with friends, a mixture of adults and children. Again everyone really enjoyed their meals some having a roast lunch and others choosing from the menu. The staff worked extremely hard to ensure everyone was looked after. Very polite, friendly and couldn't be more helpful. Enjoyed by all, as always!

Customer service absolutely shocking Waited 45 minutes for food when there was only one other table in. Staff were rude Food was very basic Would never recommend

Went to a brilliant birthday bash at this lovely pub in Belford. The selection of drinks were very good the staff were very courteous and helpful. There was a buffet laid on by the pub definate value for money good wholesome food and plenty of it. This one of three pubs in this village. The whole place rocked on our visit and a great night was had by all Thank you The Salmon.

Now I’m not a prude but the bad language coming from the bar is totally unacceptable. Didn’t visit the pub again because of it

When we arrived we were told there was only one table for two available. It really was the worst table in the restaurant (virtually in a corridor) but as we hadn't booked we accepted it. After ordering we found that there were several tables for two that were being kept aside to push together to accommodate larger parties or for people with dogs. When our food arrived we asked to move but were refused even though the other tables were still empty.The tables we asked to be moved to were still empty when we left.Perhaps the management should look after the customers already in their establishment rather than those who may or may not turn up.

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch it was amazing and the ice creams to die for recommend it to anyone

Got to be best pub in village landlord and lady Are Amazing Beer is luvly along with the food 10 out 10 in my eyes

Good food. Shame Sunday dinner is only served till four.

Caming up the road so popped in for some food and drinks. Lovely little pub. Friendly, helpful staff. Food was decent pub food. Nice portion size and a good price.

Nice takeaway Sunday lunch only spoiled by the amount of pepper used in either the veg or gravy.

We ate here twice during our week in Belford. Good quality food and a fair sized portion. We had the tacho share plate for starters and it was huge! The two ladies that were serving were rushed off their feet on both occasions, but they always had a smile and service was prompt. The only thing lacking was the atmosphere in the restaurant area, not helped at all by the tinny sound that came from the very inadequate music system.

Popped in for a drink on a Sunday evening, the banter with barman/locals was brilliant so we stayed for a few. Nice traditional pub with good range of drinks & well priced. Will certainly visit again if back in the area.

Great little pub in centre of village, friendly staff, lovely meals. selection of fine ales and a specials board and takes card payments.
