About The Clayton Arms

A small, weekly-changing menu drives the kitchen at The Clayton Arms, a pub on Grieves Row in Cramlington, with the Clayton Burger the one dish that stays put while everything around it rotates. Around 16 dishes appear at any one time, joined by extra specials on most days, so returning drinkers and diners find something new alongside the familiar cheeseburger. Corned Beef Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding have featured, and there are vegetarian choices including a vegetarian pie. Sunday dinners are served, with a beef option among them. The bar pours Black Sheep draft real ales such as Burrows Blond and Session IPA, from a deliberately short list of draft choices. The owners work front of house alongside the team, and they take group bookings, laying on buffets for occasions such as club lunches and post-funeral gatherings. Dogs are welcome. The pub opens through the week, closing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Customer Review Summary

The Clayton Burger anchors most write-ups, described as juicy and tasty with lovely onions, and one reviewer notes it stays on the board even as the rest of the menu changes weekly. Close behind is the sticky toffee pudding, singled out for its hot caramel custard and vanilla ice cream, while other diners point to a sticky chicken burger called the best one child had eaten, a fish finger sandwich with homemade tartare sauce, truffle and parmesan fries, crunchy onion rings, and Sunday beef described as being like butter. A post funeral buffet drew praise for the corned beef pie and sandwich selection, and one visitor appreciated a vegetarian pie option. Friendly, welcoming staff and owners come up in nearly every account, along with a peaceful, well kept beer garden. The recurring reservation is drink choice: two reviewers found the single draft real ale limiting, one calling the Burrows Blond just ok and wishing for more options. Several say they will be back, and a group lunch drew thanks for staff checking they had everything.

    “What a lovely pub. I've visited before, but I wanted to take my family to experience the food. The owners are very welcoming, and the choice of food is great (I love it when places caters for a good vegetarian pie!). My son declared the sticky chicken burger the best he had had!”
  • Catie Pearson
    “My friends and I stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed it. It was quiet as they’d just opened, but the atmosphere was perfect for our visit. The staff were polite and helpful, and the food was fresh, well presented, and full of flavour—none of us could fault it, even the fussy ones! A lovely local pub that’s definitely worth a visit.”
