  “We chose the Delaval Arms as a place to eat because it was conveniently situated on the main route whilst on our way to Ashington. These things are always a bit of a gamble but everything was excellent. The initial greeting was warm and welcoming, the menu choice had something for everyone and the young team attended to us with lovely smiles on their faces. All in all this was a great experience.”

  “Called in for an impromptu beer after a day exploring. Place and staff felt very welcoming to the point we decided to stay for dinner. Fish pie and Delaval Burger and WOW both were absolutely superb. Side of seasonal vegetables, second pint and a Prosecco (for me) made the whole thing perfect. They even handled my ‘dietary tweeks smoothly’, salad instead of chips and burger well cooked (my choice😊)… It’s rare we find anywhere that actually meets all our needs but this place really did. Price point was great - circa £80: - £20 pound on drinks and the remaining £60 on two courses each. Comfortable and tasty, with an easily accessible location and a brilliant coastal path leading to Whitley Bay/Tynemouth or Seaton Sluice just down the road. Wholly recommend- we will definitely go back! NB: Right by a fantastic, peaceful caravan/motor home site (Old Hartley) and around 2.6 miles walk from Whitley Bay.”

  “We have called in many times now whilst using the nearby caravan and motorhome park. It’s literally 200 yards away so very handy. We always book on line which is easy to do, and make sure that the reservation is in the dog friendly area of the bar, which often means a snug little booth which is perfect. The menu is exciting and doesn’t just offer up the usual ‘bar food’ standard fayre. Our food was well cooked, tasty, moist and plentiful. The drink selection was equally extensive and my wine certainly hit the spot. The staff are welcoming and friendly and have the perfect balance of attentiveness but not ‘in your face’. To top it off the decor is a funky mix of old and new giving an overall fresh but comfortable vibe.”

  “Have been a few times for drinks and love the decoration in the bar. Plenty of places to sit with outdoor space too which is lovely in the summer. Had Sunday lunch a few weeks ago and genuinely can't wait to come back. Had lamb and it was delicious and really well cooked, plenty of yummy veg and a massive Yorkshire pud. We also shared a dessert which looked very good and tasted super nice too. The service was spot on: quick and friendly! During our drink in the bar afterwards we were treated to the presence of plenty of dogs which is a massive plus for me!”

  “The Delaval Arms is a must-visit! The atmosphere, was cosy and warm, the staff were considerate and the food was so fresh, delicious and extremely well-presented! I have coeliac disease and am lactose-intolerant and the guy serving us (we unfortunately didn’t get his name) was so confident in his knowledge around allergens and the ingredients used in each dish. He had so kindly crossed off the meals that weren’t suitable and labelled the appropriate adaptations for those that I could eat! This instantly put my mind at ease and the menu was made so easy to navigate because of this! I couldn’t express how grateful I was. Hands down, the best gluten free fish and chips I’ve EVER had! I will be definitely be returning when I next visit Newcastle!”

  “A nice drive up the coast to a wet and windy Seaton Delaval to be warmed up with a delicious Roast Lunch! We were met with friendly staff who sat is at our table which we'd booked online. Unfortunately the room was really cold but we were swiftly offered another seat in a snug in the bar area. A lovely roast, slow roast beef was delicious.... with an array of vegetables including brussel sprouts...yeah!! A smaller portion for my elderly mother which she throughly enjoyed! Forgot to take photo of the roast.... Shiraz, Cider, coffee and water were the drinks and dessert was an apple crumble with a difference! The topping was made with oats so a little lighter, healthier and fresh! See you again soon!”

  “Lovely pre Christmas family meal at @delavalarms recently There was loads on the menu to pick from, as well as a range of hot sandwiches available. We ordered; 🥩Crispy beef fillet (starter) 🍲Ham hock broth 🍽Caramel miso belly pork (starter) 🥪Hot beef sandwich with homemade chips 🐟Trio of fish 🍗Chicken stuffed with chorizo and manchego cheese on patas bravas We were all very happy with our choices! Id highly recommend the beef starter that I had, such good quality beef and flavour, a generous portion that you could share between 2 as a starter. Definitely be back, they do a really good Sunday dinner too, and it's also dog friendly❤️ a little expensive but worth it for a nice treat!”

  “We came for Sunday lunch to celebrate my birthday and it did not disappoint. I was so excited that everything was gluten free, even the Yorkshire puddings!!, the staff were brilliant and knowledgeable - even explaining about the steps taken to avoid cross contamination with the very limited gluten containing items in their kitchen. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!”

  “Outstanding! Popped in late afternoon for a pint, liked the look and decided we would eat. Good range of beers, 3 handpull beers on offer : Rudgate Vicking, Theakstons best and Taylors landlord, many other draught beers including Neckoil, Guinness available too. We skipped starters (might have been a mistake!) and went straight for mains. I opted for the Red Mullet with a creamy samphire, spinach and leek sauce and sautéd baby potato's, my good lady went for the Butter poached chicken. What can I say? The red mullet was extraordinary, cooked to perfection, tender and with minimal cooking, simply delicious, as good as I've eaten anywhere. Chef(s) knows what they are doing here! The Chicken was moist and tender, served with dauphinois potatos and asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto ham, served with a creamy pepper sauce. We also opted for desserts of Cheesecake and Sticky toffee pudding. The girls working behind the bar looked after us very well , we never needed to leave our seats until we left. Service was excellent. I understand the Delaval arms has been recently refurbished and they have made a cracking job of it, characterful and charming. We were blown away by our experience here today. Top marks and deservedly so. Thanks to everyone at the Delaval arms.”
