The best restaurants in Hartley Northumberland North East

We have visited the Northumberland Arms twice in the last few days, and on each occasion, the food has been superb. The staff are friendly without being familiar and the food is served promptly with excellent presentation. I have to dig deep to find any negatives, the only - very minor - one being that I would have liked a fork as well as a spoon with which to eat dessert. Highly recommended.

Stunning food ad always and very friendly staff

Staff and service fantastic, good atmosphere but the food was nothing out of the ordinary. Beef dinner arrived warm not hot, lacked gravy. Mackerel starter was nice. To be fair it was Christmas fayre and they were quite busy so it maybe better through the year. All in all was a nice evening.

Very nice traditional pub no frills food very nice. Worth a visit

My cousin and I were hugely impressed by Castaways. I had been reluctant to go because about 20 years ago the original café had been taken over by a useless couple. But when I passed and looked in, I could see that its original atmosphere had been recreated by the current management. Our reception was very friendly. The café was full (always a good sign) and we were third in the queue. Our table was soon ready and we were seatedby a waitress. We were very comfortable and the atmosphere was nice. Many pleasant people there as customers happily dining and chatting. Good choice of food and drink. I had the traditional breakfast and my cousin had… I think it was avocado and egg on sourdough bread. We were both very content with our lunch. I will certainly return and bring members of my family to enjoy castaways. Nicely sited, easy car parking and great views over Seaton Sluice and the sea. Get yourself along there and have a treat!

We booked for Sunday Roast and we were seated upstairs , the room with a view across towards the bay. The staff were friendly and helpful , the food was very tasty , loved my veggie roast , mushroom and truffle in pastry , very relaxed and organised . Really decent priced Sunday roast , peaceful and warm ! Would definately return and try the other menus xx

We visited in the evening on a Friday and after a short wait, were pleasantly served with large portions of haddock and chips with mushy peas. Th food was great. Thoroughly recommend but be prepar d for a short wait at peak times to get a table. Takeaways also available.

Italian style ice cream in many delicious flavours offered in the completely unexpected venue. The place shouldn't be missed during hot days at the Blyth beach. Plenty of free car parking space nearby.

Small traditional pub. Friendly staff and a great homely atmosphere. Food and service first class. Great surroundings to explore in the sluice when visiting the Kings Arms. Great on a sunny day with outdoor seating to enjoy a few drinks with friends and family.

A thoroughly enjoyable lunch for four friends. Good pub grub, especially the beef dinners. Beautiful views of the river. Staff very friendly and helpful. Prices reasonable. Parking good. Certainly be back.

Lovely greeting as we entered from Sharon and the service she provided was fantastic! Great asset to the team

Well not what I expected compared to my last visit had mixed grill of which the gammon and chicken were well over cooked dry as sticks and the batter on the fish was a soggy mush hopefully just a off day
