Soak up our friendly service and homely charm when nestled in this stunning roadside pub in the heart of Amble harbour town. Here at The Wellwood Arms, we are the perfect retreat to sit back, relax and indulge in our delicious food with the perfect drink in hand. Originally built as a farmhouse for Link House Farm, one of the three farms which made up early Amble, the pub is one of the oldest buildings in the whole of the town! Records dating back as far as 1842 show that the farm was owned by a Mrs Maria Wellwood - a possible explanation for the pub's name today! Our traditional pub classics are expertly crafted from our seasonal menus and the bar is crammed with local ales and tipples to tempt any taste buds. Using the most seasonal ingredients and decadent flavours, there's a dish for every desire. Turn your fleeting visit into a welcomed stay by resting your head in one of our four comfortable family ensuite rooms. All decorated with cosy interiors and homely touches you'll be able to unwind in comfort and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere in a home away from home.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Wellwood Arms offers "good value and portion size" with friendly and attentive service. Despite some disappointment over the loss of their beloved carvery, the pub still delivers "delicious" Sunday lunches and "lovely staff." It's dog-friendly with a cozy atmosphere, and booking is "quick and easy." Highly recommended for a welcoming experience.

    Christmas dinner 2024 - wonderful experience! Such a lovely atmosphere at this family friendly pub. The three of us all went for different options and each dish was delicious. The menu was well thought out and the ingredients high quality. Value was excellent but above all, the staff made the day extra special for us guests. If you’re looking for somewhere for a special occasion meal, look no further! We will definitely be back!

    Lovely roast dinner only spoiled by being swamped with so much gravy it was spilling over the plate! But the meat was lovely. We did not realise that the football would be on screens everywhere in the pub - we probably would not have chosen to eat there if we had known but that is not reallly a criticism - we just didn’t know and are not fans

    Went later in the day and they had run out of chicken,parsnips and leeks. So that was slightly disappointing but we were offered extra veg of what they had left Food was hot and very tasty. Couldn’t find any fault at all. Will know for next time to go earlier

    Sunday lunch Trio of meats x 2. Im sorry but it was awful. Belly Pork had no meat at all in it and the beef was way over cooked, couldn’t cut it. Parsnips burnt as was Yorkshire pudding. Was with my autistic son and he gets upset if things aren’t right so felt I couldn’t complain but this food was substandard, especially for the £19 price. This wasn’t just down to personal preference. Anyone, especially a chef should know the issues with what was served and it was a bit of an insult it was to be honest.

    I didn't realise it wasn't a carvery any more since new management. The food was hot and tasty but there wasn't any stuffing or mash potato The toilet corridor was stinking and needs to be addressed

    We booked a table for Sunday lunch when we arrived we were given menus and shown to our table. It wasn't until they came to take the order we were told there was only 4 beef dinners left none of the other options were available. When the dinner arrived some of the veg was missing, the 'roast potatoes' were frozen not fresh roast potatoes and the beef wasn't that nice. We mentioned about the veg to which they replied we ran out, it would have been nice to have been told beforehand. Annoyingly we had eaten off the lunch menu the previous day and this was quiet nice.

    I booked a table for 9:30 for friends who had just finished the Geordieman, the booking was confirmed and then I was asked to confirm I was still coming which I did, then a few hours before we were due to arrive I was contacted my email, which thankfully I had access to via my phone, to tell me that their kitchen closes at an earlier time. I asked why I had been able to book a table via their booking system and I didn’t really get any answer to that and they would not make an exception, so I was then scrabbling around to find another place to eat on a Sunday night for two hungry people who had just swam 2.4 miles, cycled 112miles and run a marathon one after the other. So I was pretty disappointed that we didn’t get to eat there, and that there doesn’t seem to have been any learnings to adjust their system of booking. Poor customer service before even starting.

    Sunday lunch trio of meats really recommended. Stayed here bed and breakfast with vegan partner. Really great at catering to dietary needs. Great service from staff - always friendly and helpful. Thanks for great food and stay!
