i think the castle hotel pub at bamburgh has splendid meals ,lovely staff me and my son loved the meals we will be going back regular

Was very disappointed in this pub. The food is quite expensive (for what it is, which seems to be cheap frozen food) and the choice of beers is very unimaginative. Also, the staff were quite unfriendly. There are many other good pubs in the area to visit (such as the Ship Inn in Low Newton), which are much more deserving of custom.

Just back from annual visit - good to see two beers on the pumps - the omnipresent Black Sheep and more importantly Mordue Workie Ticket, a brew from a north east brewery (who owns Mordue now as it went into receivership in 2008?) Both beers reasonably kept and the pub has a good atmosphere, unlike the other drinking establishments in the village which are hotels. The pub menu tried to be interesting but was a over-priced and the chef could do with lessons in presentation!

Been going to this pub when on holiday every year for last 18 years. The staff seem enthusiastic and it could be a gem but seems to suffer at the moment from a lazy landlord who in February couldn't be bothered to put the handpulled beer on when the previous barrel ran out; also wasn't supporting his staff when really busy. The beer was put on eventually but I get the impression that they regard tourists as a nuisance! Only Black Sheep available - why no Hadrian & Border beers like Farne Bitter?

This pub is under new management as of October 2006 and is being run by the same team which previously ran The Craster Arms in Beadnell. Food is consistent and the formula followed at the Craster has transferred successfully to the Castle

Only pub (as opposed to hotel bar) in idyllic coastal village. Real ales, including Pedigee and Bass on tap. Cracking good atmosphere and a perfect place to waste an afternoon. Food daytime and evening. Huge beer garden. Nothing bad to say really.
