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.

    After sitting at our table for 25 minutes we had to attract a member of staffs attention to order our food. After another 15 minutes a different member of staff came across and asked what we were waiting for. We replied our starters and then they turned up a further 10 minutes later. By the way the restaurant was not really busy and we were after 'the lunchtime rush'. The starters were nice but on the small side for the cost. After finishing our starters we had regular sized carvery lunches. My husband was disappointed at the portion of meat he received but it was fine for me. The veg was lovely and hot and the gravy was delicious. All in all the service was poor but the meal was quite good.

    Went for lunch with family, ordered prawn cocktail for starter, decent size portion and very tasty and had small carvery for main. Beef was delicious, nicely cooked and choice of veg was good. Service was excellent, definitely recommend.

    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
