Ship Inn

Northumberland Coast


Set around a village green, this idyllic pub brews over two dozen different beers – blond, wheat, rye, bitter, stout and seasonal – using local River Coquet water. The food is first-rate, too, from crab and lobster to regional farm-sourced meat. No credit cards or lunchtime reservations (arrive early); book ahead for dinner. Live music often plays at weekends.
