The Schooner - Northumberland

We were met at the door for our 6.30pm booking and informed they were not serving food because the chef had gone home! When asked why had they accepted my booking they denied knowing anything about our booking or the Opentable App. Disgusting behaviour, don’t waste your time here.

We rang up the night before to book a table for the following evening. We were very dubious after then seeing the reviews but decided to give it a go as no recent reviews. Table was booked for 6pm, we arrived at 545pm and the doors were locked, we then came back around 6pm and still locked, with no sign, tried calling and could hear phone ringing but no answer. We are relieved this was shut after seeing the other reviews, but absolutely shocking. However a lovely restaurant nearby managed to squeeze us in, and it was perfect, so would recommend Hope and Anchor!

Intended having lunch. An absolute disgrace of a place. Filthy. Shocking staff. Horrendously expensive drinks, a shandy and a glass of wine, 14 quid! The beer garden looked like a council refuse tip. We warned a couple on the way in and thankfully they went elsewhere. A total dump of the highest order!

Went for lunch, bought a drink at the bar, the guy was on the phone the whole time he served us, then just walked off still on his phone. SO RUDE! Food was edible but over priced. The place needs cleaning, vac and mop on the floor for starters.

Overnight, no breakfast booked. Stale coffee satchets on tray, no biscuits. Room at top of building, no fire information, no emergency information. Single glazed window. Shower off the taps kept falling in the bath. Tired paintwork, plastering and carpets. Bed clean and comfortable. Never saw anyone apart from being taken to the room. Nice view of the sea.
