Hermitage Inn

Set in Amble, The Hermitage Inn is a friendly pub and restaurant with B&B accommodation and a self-contained holiday let for longer stays. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while the rest of the group orders. Food is served daily in both the bar and restaurant, with a menu that covers pub favourites plus vegetarian and vegan options, gluten-free choices, and a kids menu.

There's also plenty going on beyond the plate. Expect regular events like quiz nights and live music, plus a private hire function room for parties and celebrations. It's the kind of place where you come in for a sensible meal and leave having accidentally joined a team name like "The Quizzy Rascals", while your dog quietly works the room for compliments.

Food service times: Monday to Friday 11am to 3pm and 5pm to 8pm. Saturday 11am to 8pm. Sunday 11am to 7.30pm. Last orders are 30 minutes before closing.
