Good to Know

Angie's Tavern is a community pub on Queen Street in Amble, a short walk up from the harbour. Older locals may still know it as The Tavern or Pier 81. Open from late morning until late, seven days a week.

Tom's Notebook

Best for: A no-frills pint in a proper local, sport on the TV, and Sunday lunch.

Dog friendly: Yes — dogs are welcome.

Drink: Not a real-ale pub, so craft beer fans may be better served on the harbour.

On Our List

Angie's kept turning up in searches around Heather & Sand, so we did a little digging.

Why people seem to like it

It's very much a community pub: friendly regulars, sport on the TV and a no-nonsense welcome. Its Sunday lunch is well liked locally.

Not every visit is perfect

If you're after cask ale or an extensive food menu, this isn't it — it's a traditional local rather than a food pub.

So, would we go?

Probably, for a quiet pint with Meg on the way through Amble. We like a proper local, and they're getting rarer.

But this isn't our review — not yet. When we've been, we'll replace it with what we found ourselves.

Heather & Sand verdict: On Our List. An old-fashioned, dog-friendly local with a loyal following. Not one for real-ale hunters, but promising if you want a genuine Amble pub.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
