The Apple Inn

Table booked for 1.45, finally got seated at 2.20. Waitress came to take order 10 minutes later. We both ordered trio of meat Sunday roast. When it came we were not impressed the pork consisted of a lump of fat. The roasted veg was one carrot and the whole lot was swamped in thick gravy. We were unable to eat it and were given another plate, this was just as bad. We did say we were not happy and were told the catering company would be informed

April 2025 4 of us went for Mothers Day (30.03.25) in the graveyard slot of 4pm. Professional Staff got us seated quickly. A bit of a delay for the drinks order to be taken (but really nothing to be too fussed about) We just ordered a main each The Gluten Free Fish and Chips was excellent with a nice crispy batter The Guiness and Steak Pie similarly was very good - packed full of mince with a lovely flaky pastry crust that is all too rare these days. The let down were the Burgers that other two went for : The double meat patties were fine in themselves - no gristle / good quality steak but unfortunately totally lacking in actual flavour and devoid of any seasoning. To accompany there was an 8th teaspoon of chilli jam on top which just soaked into the top of the bread bun . A penny piece size of gherkin coupled with a fragment of cheese well - All well short of the menu description. Had they run out ? One of the party who ordered the Burger had a Gluten Allergy but sadly the GF replacement of the Brioche Bun was barely edible and a far cry from GF Brioche Buns enjoyed elsewhere. Nice place but room for improvement....

Lovely pub although we did find it difficult to find via Google maps! Lol. Lovely decor. Fish and chips were fab, i also had the ‘signature apple’ which tasted as good as it looked! Very quiet so can’t comment on the atmosphere Staff seemed very pleasant but we were tucked away in a large room on our own so only saw them for service Bit of a gem

This is a great pub in Lucker. The staff are very friendly and they allow dogs which is great. The fish and chips were awesome being cooked in beef fat which adds to it. Wife had chicken Caesar which she loved. Will be back when we next up here. Beer was excellent as well

Absolutely beautiful meal really tasty and well presented. Staff friendly and helpful felt really welcomed by Lyndsey from arriving We will definitely be back. Highly recommend the signature apple dessert. The building itself is stunning and immaculately clean.

Unreservedly recommend the apple tree for its accommodation and food! We stayed two nights without small dog in one of the shepherd’s huts situated just across the road from the main building. They are tasteful, practical , comfortable and cozy. Ours overlooked a lovely small river with the heron a regular visitor. Plenty of space for a couple of nights stay . Very dog friendly with access to pub and restaurant. Food was a treat….breakfast in the adjacent school room was first class….even our dog Bella getting a complimentary sausage! The evening meals in the pub were good too, steak pie, fish and chips and steaks were superb, only the moules mariniere being a little bland. Pudding excellent , so save space! Every member of the team were genuinely friendly and eager to ensure a great stay. Situation is five minutes from A1 and same from bamburgh which was perfect for exploring the beautiful area. Looking forward to returning
