The Salmon Inn in Northumberland

Ordered food for take away this evening having heard really good things about the menu. We all opted for burgers which were banging!! Decent smash burgers are hard to find especially in our little village - these did not disappoint. Decent fries and a lovely homemade coleslaw. Great quality and decent value for money. Will definitely order again.

Called in for a drink very friendly, lovely atmosphere

My friend and I had a great dinner on Tuesday evening. The food was excellent, portions very generous and the service was great and friendly. We enjoyed it so much that on our way back home we were still talking about it. Thank you for a lovely and memorable dinner.

Booked for Sunday lunch as we were stopping in Belford for a few days. Food was delicious, large portions and freshly cooked. Staff were friendly and service was great. Would recommend.

Lovely welcome from charming staff, especially the young lady. Really well looked after; food was hot and tasty. Lacked a bit of atmosphere to be honest; reminded me a bit of a rugby club. But hey! Who cares? Food and beer was great.

Second visit to this pub, food good, staff very friendly. Just what we needed after a day walking.

We have just eaten here as a family of 5 plus our dog! The welcome was wonderful, ambience great and the food was stunning. We had starters of chicken wings with Frank’s Hot Sauce (x2), chicken goujons (1 with garlic mayonnaise, 1 with sweet chilli sauce) and a nachos. Nachos were a big portion ! For main we had lasagna (complete with chips, 2 slices of garlic bread), and 4 burgers, Spicy One, classic smashed, Smashed Scottish( with haggis it was awesome) and The Buster Smash. They were sensational. The photos don’t do the amazing food justice and the team on tonight were fabulous. Highly recommended.

Great place serving good food when everywhere else in the village was closed or not serving. Staff were working really hard to keep everyone happy. Charley and a young girl were pleasant to everyone!

Very limited menu, food below average.

Great food lovely pub and dog friendly

Nice beer selection, nice service. The price is actually cheap (pint of Timothy Taylors 3.60). Sunny beer garden at the back.

Lovely welcome for us and our dog, great team, great food and beer, will definitely be back during our week's holiday to sample more of the home made burgers and toppings. Can also recommend the nachos....just what we needed after a long drive, thank you

Visited here when staying locally for a trip to Holy Island. The food was lovely and arrived very quickly. I had the "let's get smashed" smash burger and my Aunties both had scampi. Three clean plates and smiles all round. The staff were friendly and polite (especially the blonde lady whose name we didn't catch) at every interaction. Bonus: the restaurant side of the pub is dog friendly as well so we got to pet an adorable shih-tzu.

Lovely staff. Decent choice of beverage. No food served on the night we visited other than freebie half time snacks put on by the pub during Engerland match. Friendly locals. Recommend if staying in local area.

When I realised we were within 3 miles of the second best pub in the WORLD I adjusted our destination. How happy I was that we did. A delicious pint of a Timothy Taylor ale that I had not yet tried and straight onto a good pool table. A deserved reputation.

Had a delicious meal, good value and excellent service

After some more recent positive reviews decided to give The Salmon a try so called to book a table for 19:00, Staff asked if we could come sooner as sounded like they were busy (good sign?) so obliged and changed our plans to accommodate. On arrival was obviously not busy and atmosphere very 'local' with the odd outburst of choice language....didn't bother us too much. Ordered a beer (decent) and a tonic water which was definitely not decent and tasted like fairy liquid, clearly dispensed from hose tap, mixture of lemonade and soda water. Asked for replacement and was made to feel uncomfortable and fobbed-off with various excuses (slimline etc.) instead of an apology. Food was either pizzas or burgers which were OK and good value for money - burger £8. But if you fancy something else - don't bother, unless you want a large portion of gammon coming from the front bar!!! Popped in the Black Swan later and wished we'd booked here instead

Excellent service food great greatmosphere great pub very clean staff very helpful

Incredibly friendly place, good choice of drinks basic pub food menu centred around beef burgers and pizzas. A special’s menu gave us some variety. Personally I would like me to see other burgers or veggie options but what we ordered was lovely, well presented and tasty

Brilliant place to eat and very friendly staff

Definitely a family friendly affordable place, pizzas burgers the Hot spicy burger and Smash burgers are a must! Fast friendly service without too long a wait, was great at catering for several dietary requirements.

All of the food is fantastic but particularly the smash burgers and pizzas. Chips are like skin on fries, extra crispy and tasty. Great value for money, great service by all the staff and very good ping of Guinness. Highly recommend to anyone.

Had takeaway burgers and pizzas from the salmon and they tasted unreal! Everything executed perfectly, just what Belford needs. Well done The Salmon 👍🏼👍🏼

Just had the buster smash burger I was salivating that much I thought I was sitting in a puddle of my own piss the meal was absolutely fantastic. Well worth a visit you won't be disappointed 5* from me

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
