The Wellwood in Northumberland

Visited the Wellwood arms today for Sunday lunch, the standard carvery was about £15 and the large around £18 which isn’t a bad price for a good carvery, was disappointed that everything that make your Sunday dinner was frozen out of a bag, aunt Bessie style Yorkshire’s, frozen roast potatoes, frozen parsnip and stuffing was undercooked and bland wouldn’t have minded if it was a cheap dinner bit for those prices I’d of expected everything home cooked and fresh. On the upside the staff were very friendly and the place was exceptionally clean, just the carvery let it down a bit

The lady serving behind the bar was very friendly, attentive and looked after us really well, the food was really nice. We had the steak pie and the lamb rump and both were very nice. A good pint of Guinness and the dog was pampered with treats, a very good experience!

Absolutely, staff attentive, good range of drinks options, beer fresh, live music and a weekly quiz night. Beer garden, a dining room and Sunday carvery. En suite rooms. broad based menu. A greatpackage quiet location. I highly rate the establishment. My second visit and I feel that I will return.

Had a Sunday lunch here and food was excellent and not expensive. All staff made you feel welcome and helpful. After our lunch we even stayed for couple more drinks and sat in beer garden in the sun. Would definitely recommend this place we worth a visit.

We had the 3 course set menu, which was excellent value for money. All of the dishes were really tasty and good sized portions too. The staff were really friendly and helpful, would visit again.

Lovely meal. The staff had a busy evening but they soldiered on. The quiz night made the end of our evening. Will return soon

We enjoyed a lovely meal this evening, delicious burgers and tasty sides too. Everyone was very warm and welcoming and accommodated our two golden retrievers who take up a lot of space 🐶🐶 Good price, good location, easy parking and great food. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Car park on the doorstep, great Atmosphere and staff.

Love this place, very friendly, great buzz, dog friendly!

Excellent food, drinks and service

Late decision to eat Food and welcome was excellent and we have a small dog in toe

We ate here twice, once for n evening meal and the other for Sunday lunch. The evening meal was pretty ordinary for us both. The Sunday lunch sadly was the same. The roast beef was woefully overcooked for the lunch, so much so it just crumbled, and the chips for the evening were amongst the blandest I've ever eaten. The experience was a big let down for us as we ate here a few years ago and it was a treat, hence going back. I'm not sure we would visit again based on the last one. No issues with the staff as all were friendly and polite, just a shame about the food.

What can I say. Absolutely wonderful place to stay. The staff are really friendly and will do anything they can to help you out. A special shout out to the young lady that was starting working in the restaurant of the morning of my breakfast. Although she appeared a little nervous, she did our absolute best to make sure my breakfast was an enjoyable meal. The breakfast was lovely. I had a main meal in the bar at night. I had lasagna and it was an absolutely gorgeous meal. I will return to this pub again. The prices are normal prices for the area and the location is quite close to the town centre. I managed to park the van in the car park easily and did notice that there was plenty of room throughout the day. Looking forward to my next trip already. Thanks again. Cheers Mark.

A great restaurant to dine out :) All burgers are delicious, and the vegan burger is one of the best burgers I've ever had!!

Good food and beer plenty of outside seating very friendly atmosphere. rooms great value.

Had a lovely carvery today. Also apple and raspberry crumble and custard. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly too.

Perfectly placed at the top of the Amble High Street

Dropped in on a Monday for a meal with the family and 3 dogs. Very welcoming, great service. The food was excellent. Very good value. Would highly recommend.

Staff were very friendly and were genuinely pleased to meet our 3 dogs (with treats)!! Food was excellent and the pub had a really nice welcoming atmosphere.

Been for a carvery today and it was absolutely beautiful, the best carvery we’ve had! I don’t usually have beef but I’m so glad I did as it was extremely tender. Staff were lovely and accommodating. We will be back (has a carpark too which is great as parking in amble can be hard)

Friendly staff make this Pub. We stayed one night in one of their three rooms. the room was comfortable and clearly been recently refurbished.

Went along with Husband and his family for Christmas dinner, food was really good and well presented, staff we a-tentative but not invasive, restaurant felt very relaxed and not at all hurried for the table to clear for another sitting. Can’t fault anything at all. Will probably return.

Five of us called in for drinks with the dog on a Sunday evening, late in December. I’m pleased to say I was able to get Guinness Zero. Friendly atmosphere with reasonable prices. Loads of teles showing the football. Food also served but didn’t try. Would go back.

Prosecco was offered on arrival but no alternative offered to those driving. The table was set incorrectly with the knives facing the wrong was and dessert cutlery set wrongly. My soup was very average and under seasoned. Turkey was nice but let down by the frozen roast potatoes , frozen Yorkshire pudding and frozen stuffing ball. Shredded sprouts with bacon which was as not in the slightest crispy. The parsnips appeared to have been deep fried and were uncooked in the middle. Christmas pud was lovely. Lots of plates from other tables seemed to be heading back into the kitchen with roasties and parsnips still on them. The waiting staff were nice but obviously new to the hospitality industry. All in all an average Sunday lunch . Definitely not worth £85 . Won’t be back unfortunately

Me and my family have just had are Christmas lunch here it was absolutely delicious very relaxing atmosphere staff were amazing thank you for you good service

Good food, nice atmosphere and good service...

I had high hopes given the reviews, however, though food not bad it didn't blow you away...

Very nice place to call in for drinks and excellent food. Friendly staff and locals to make your visit more memorable. Good selection of drinks and Tim Taylors real ales. Very dog friendly ....

Great food generous portion of sunday roast , couldn't eat it all, sticky toffee pudding was the best ever though , staff friendly , service great.

Lovely Sunday lunch here. Dog friendly. Really nice staff. Great menu. Also large screen showing football. Really lovely pub and I’ll be back

Pleasent and helpful staff, great location,

We saw a sign for lunch. We had small plates of sausage and mash. It was lovely but a very small plate.

Stopped here for a Sunday lunch, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Drinks came straight away, and we didn't have to wait too long for the food. The portions were very generous, and the food was very tasty. It was not very busy so nice and quiet. 2 drinks and 2 big plates of roast beef Sunday dinner came to £38 so value was good 👍.

My wife and I went for Sunday dinner. It had been about 3 -4 years since we had last been here. The Sunday roasts were excellent. My wife had pork and I had beef....cooked to perfection. I could not resist the apple and raspberry crumble with custard which was delicious. My wife had no room for a dessert though. The staff were very pleasant and we will certainly be back. I can definitely recommend the Wellwood.

Found this pub on our first night of 7 in amble in which we went every night for a pint. Staff were amazing. We had 2 dogs Dexter and Milo (the puppy). The staff and customers were first class and the dogs certainty had a fan club towards the end of the week. Will definitely re visit next year. Massive Thank you to all

Had a "trio of meats" Sunday lunch for £18.95 which seemed expensive but I decided to treat myself. The three meats were a bit of chicken with a bone, some beef that was tough and some belly pork made entirely of fat. Frozen vegetables, burnt parsnips and a frozen Yorkshire pudding completed the disaster. Absolutely terrible, this place used to be lovely but it's gone right downhill. We won't be back.

Food is amazing and lots of it! Staff and general feel is very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend. we have been back a few times in September and we have never been disappointed.

Food was brilliant and service was great Beavertown neck oil was very well kept.

Visited twice for food when on a short break in Amble. Friendly lass behind the bar, tasty food & decent service. Steak & ale pie was particularly nice. OK selection of beers too. No rating on rooms as did not stay. Worth a visit if you visit Amble.

Excellent food service lovely atmosphere very friendly would definitely recommend

Can't comment on rooms as I found this beautiful place by chance and wasn't disappointed They went above and beyond to provide us with hot food Good quality food not over priced either Can't praise the lady behind the bar for the excellent service and compliments to the chef 100% Recommend this place very central as well x

Central location within easy walking distance of the harbour. Great breakfast choices. Lovely food - superb Sunday lunch. Great staff - everyone helpful and friendly. Comfortable room, great tea and coffee, clean. The room was mostly great - the only thing is that the bedroom door just didn't shut easily so had to slam it to close it. Not so bad during the day but felt a bit awkward later at night when other guests would be relaxing. Thanks for a great stay overall!

What a find and what a treat. A great Sunday lunch and a pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord. Couldn't be happier. Thankyou Wellwood xxxxx

A friendly and good food pub well worth a visit staff are always helpful and polite

Let down need,s new manager who knows,s how to run it

Stopped in for a meal on Sunday while on holiday in the area. Easy to book online. Good food and value for money. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

We only go for a meal. The food is good & great price wise. Ideal for us is it is dog friendly. The staff are great & very friendly. It is our go to place when we come up to our static caravan.

Overnight stay on way further south. Old building. Room was very clean with plenty tea & coffee etc. Breakfast was included. Very good value. Would stay again.

We booked a table for 3 of us,got there on time. Sat down got our drinks Young girl took our order at 6.40pm and at 7.30pm she came back and told us the order hadn't gone threw,and to give her it again. I got up and walked straight out the door. UNBELIEVABLE

Lovely drink. Right in the centre easy access to.public transport pop on if you miss the bus. Food is great and the drinks are a decent price. Let's dogs in

Been today for Sunday lunch, the carvery is no longer a option, this was beautiful last time we visited so we ordered sunday lunch from menu hoping it would be just as good as I thought £15.95 was expensive for a chicken dinner! I have never been so disappointed to be served a chicken wing frozen Yorkshire pudding frozen peas and frozen parsnips, the creamed leeks were disgusting and the rosemary and sea salt roast potatoes sounded lovely but also were awful! When I paid I told the lady behind bar how disappointed we had been but she never offered any reimbursement we paid over £35 for 2 dinners a blackcurrant and soda and a coffee I feel robbed! I also found out that the pub has changed hands in june I think the new proprietors ought to take a look at their prices well over charging for meals I would grumble at paying £4.00 for the meal we had today!

Great Pub Lovely friendly and very helpful staff, warm and welcoming atmosphere with some good live music and very dog friendly 🐾 Great location, will definitely be visiting again

We visited here while on holiday. 5 adults and 2 children. We pre booked which was easy to do. Plenty of on site parking. There is a set menu of starter and main for £17 and you can add a desert for £5. Kids received and free starter or dessert with a kids main. All the meals were delicious, steady service you weren't felt rushed. Portions were very good. Between us we had the pie and mash, chicken schnitzel, bacon and cheese burger, haddock fishcakes, southern fried chicken burger, kids fish and kids burger. Desserts were amazing too, sticky toffee pudding, salted caramel brownie and cheesecake. All plates were cleared. Highly recommend. 2 starters, 5 adult mains, 2 kids mains, 4 adult desserts, 2 kids deserts, 4 alcoholic drinks and 5 soft drinks came to £139. Excellent. Definitely be back when on holiday again.

Fantastically friendly staff we enjoyed our lunch one day so went back for tea the following day. Can't recommend enough thankyou

Excellent food, excellent service and the dogs were treated like royalty. Will definitely visit again. Best veggie burger I’ve ever had and I’m told the steak pie was really good too.

Excellent food, excellent service and the dogs were treated like royalty!

Lovely meal and friendly staff with great service

Great pub, great food, friendly staff and super dog friendly.

Stopped for light lunch on trip to north east area. Lovely pub and served us best BLT toastie ever tasted,with excellent chips. Thankyou,well done

I stayed here with my daughter who was visiting on business. We really enjoyed our stay. She has stayed here before. The staff are excellent, the rooms are clean and everything was very comfortable. There was no rush to vacate the rooms, breakfast was excellent, we both ordered something not actually on the menu but this was no trouble. Close to town, easy walk to the harbour & plenty of parking spaces. Would definitely recommend.

The rooms were in need of some refurbishment, and the walls on the bathroom were mouldy. Great location in the heart of the town.

On holiday in the area and fancied pub grub, couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to eat. Staff very friendly, despite being busy, she attended to us with a smile. Service excellent and food delicious. Great little place to eat.

Overnight stay in family room - 2 singles and 1 King bed. Extremely comfortable, great tea tray with delicious biscuits. Spacious and very clean bathroom with overhead shower. Clean, tidy and everything you need. Breakfast delicious with quality bacon and sausages.

Visited this pub a few times on a recent holiday, just for drinks. The atmosphere was great and the staff were very welcoming. Recommended

Had a meal tonight had no vegetarian sausage but put nut roast on so fair enough but then no Yorkshire pudding on their plates asked about this and said they ran out but no one mentioned this to us , I ordered lasagna and garlic bread and the garlic bread was black how on earth would you send it out like that come on bad enough you ran out of Yorkshire pudding ( not many ingredients so why can’t make fresh ) and then to top it off father in laws fish and chips had no mushy peas , I always try to support local businesses and feel sorry for some but this is why places end up shutting down . This as been such a disappointment tonight and will never even go for a drink in there whilst on holiday in amble

Friendly staff when we arrived in the evening, room adequate but over priced, bright green fire-exit sign not conducive to good nights sleep. Breakfast staff unfriendly, waited 10 minutes before we were even offered coffee, no pleasantries at all from her, more concerned with clearing up before we'd even finished. We were also had an extra £1 taken from debit card, without being informed of what this charge was for, we contacted them directly regards this via their website, but we have still not had a response from them at all, poor. Would not stay again. No response from management of Wellwood Arms speaks volumes!

Absolutely shocking so 2 small dinners and one large biggest one paid over £4 more for the large and there all the same size only difference is 2 extra peace’s of meat what an absolute JOKE

Lovely food, dog friendly, great service. Definitely recommend

Used to go regularly for Sunday carvery been today and it’s changed to table service very disappointed, far too much potato for us not enough veg, no serving spoon for veg and had to ask for more gravy, won’t be back

Fantastic Sunday dinner with even better service. I couldn’t recommend this place enough

Stayed at the wellwood for one night with my mam can say I had a lovely stay it was so clean and homely and had lovely friendly staff we felt so welcomed the beds were like sleeping on clouds amazing sleep I wanted to take the bed with me !! Checked the make of the pillows and mattresses topper they were luxury made in England and I will be ordering the same !!! The breakfast was just so delicious!! We sat outside with a coffee in the morning after breakfast there’s beautiful back garden and front well maintained with picnic tables Can’t wait to stay again !! Thank you for amazing stay 😊

Hit and miss, some good some lacking. Visited with friends, 5 lunch meals, rather basic, one steak sandwich, not chewy, one handmade pie, decent size but not homemade, handmade elsewhere? halloumi strips decent portion, one BLT, average, lunchtime fish and chips barely the size of a fish finger, six chips. Drinks okay but on paying found a dash of coke to be extortionate. Two sticky toffee puddings and custard hit the spot but rather expensive for possibly bought in…not homemade. A quiet Saturday afternoon and no atmosphere.

Came for the Sunday carvery, it was amazing value and fantastically tasty! Lovely friendly staff offered a warm welcome, so we will return! Dog friendly too!

Just called in on off chance that we could get served we had a lovely meal

Excellent Sunday Roast. The beef was tender, a good variety of vegetables and plenty of gravy! We had turned up without booking but there was no problem getting a table. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. We found the Small serving more than adequate

As a pub, it is quite a pleasant place for a drink. Good range or drinks , Sport on tv and dog friendly. Nice atmosphere and nice staff.

Faultless, such a warm friendly welcome, food was excellent, and the owners couldn’t do enough to make sure all our dogs had sausages with our meals, definitely coming back

Booking a table was easy. Our host was great and had decent local knowledge. Food was good . We will gladly eat here again next time we are in the area

Lovely food at very reasonable price. Friendly and efficient staff. Very dog friendly.

Great boozer. Really welcoming and dog friendly. Lovely stuff.

Fantastic food as always, great carvery choice of meats and heaps of fresh vegetables. Only problem is every time I have been here I eat too much! Superb carvery fare, cannot be beaten.

Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch ,fab service and reasonable price.

Been here many times over the the years. The atmosphere is great and the staff are really friendly especially Diane. Tuesday is a great day to go if you love quizzes and prizes.

Cozy pub serving good well kept beer with friendly chatty staff. If you are in the area this is someplace to try.

Visited the Wellwood Arms for Sunday lunch. Really wish we had gone somewhere else. The meat was nice but that was it. The vegetables were mushy and the roast parsnip and potatoes appeared to be deep fried. Really disappointing - we won't be back.

Great local pub with room for the dog to stretch out. Nice pint and a dram. The service was excellent. Friendly and quick.

Had a lovely evening, with excellent service from Diane. Made us and our dog feel very welcome, we enjoyed sitting in the restaurant.

Plates cold, food poorly cooked -raw parsnips and cauliflower. Yorkshires burnt. Meat was nice … waiting staff polite . Average size portions.

Came on Easter Sunday for our carvery and the Yorkshire puddings were burnt while the roast parsnips, vegetables and cauliflower cheese were undercooked. The plates were cold and the portions mediocre. The meat, gravy and mashed potatoes were very nice, as were the staff. Overall very disappointing experience.

Went for Sunday lunch 18th Feb and the food was incredible - beef was done to perfection and the sundries were great, cauliflower cheese was lovely ! Highly Recommend !

Absolutely not good value for money ordered the fish n chips was half a fish at 13.95 a spoonful of peas very disappointing complained was told nothing they could do about it absolutely disgraceful having been on a few occasions before never had any issues wont be back

We had a good feeling about this pub.. how wrong could we be…. Lovely atmosphere, lovely pint. Food was diabolical. 17£ for a mixed grill, the meat content was ridiculous . Really small steak, really small gammon with a few chips, we ordered a pouring sauce that was only filled quarter of the little jug! 2nd meal Gammon and chips, plate was swimming in fat, only about 6 chips. AVOID

Went for Sunday carvery , very tasty and lots to eat

Friendly warm and good selection of drinks

We booked the Wellwood Arms for a group of over 40 students for lunch after a field trip. The staff were really friendly and accommodating for a large group, and flexible when we had to make a couple of last minute changes. Food came quickly and as ordered. Thanks to all the staff we had a coachload of happy well fed students to end the day! Would also recommend for the Sunday carvery, and it's dog friendly.

Excellent meal at the woodwell arms. Lunch portions were fantastic and Diane was very helpful and welcoming which made our meal even better.

Nice pub with great food and good service.

Very lovely food and a lovely bar lady called dianne would highly recommend fab service and a lovely atmosphere . Will definitely come back with my family

Went for the lunch time special.
