A NORTHUMBERLAND beer garden with spectacular views has been named among one of the best in the UK.
The Jolly Fisherman in Craster, near Amble, has been recognised for its scenic location and seafood menu.
A list which has been compiled by the UK holiday company, Parkdean resorts, has listed the top six beer gardens as they reopened this week.
It named The White Horse Inn in Dover as number one, while The Jolly Fisherman in Craster came fourth.
A spokesperson for Parkdean said: "While the Jolly Fisherman is known for its famous ‘Craster crabs’, the village of Craster in Northumberland boasts stunning views and cliff-edge coastal walks. Plus, dogs are welcome too.
"The Jolly Fisherman has a perfectly curated menu filled with delicious local seafood served alongside home-baked breads and wholesome soups."
On TripAdvisor, the venue gets four out of five stars based on reviews left by 2,795 people - with some reviews calling it "superb" and "delicious."
Before lockdown restrictions, one reviewer said: "Superb pub and food. We couldn’t get booked into the restaurant yet tried our luck as a walk up in the Marquee. So pleased they could fit us in."
This is the list of the top beer gardens in the UK according to Parkdean Resorts.
1. The White Horse Inn in Dover
2. The Drift Inn, Isle of Arran
3. The Watering Hole - Perranporth Beach, Cornwall
4. The Jolly Fisherman, Craster, Northumberland
5. The Angel Inn, Bowness-on-Windermere, Lake District
6. Cosy Corner Lounge, Porthcawl
