Anglers Arms - Kielder

I visited on 3 seperate occasions, twice for food and once for drinks as it was 2 minutes from our campsite. The gammon was lovely, chips were gorgeous crunchy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. I also got 'chicken in a basket ' and my god the chicken was cooked perfectly, so juicy! The staff were lovely and so down to earth, made our visit a really fun one! Will 100% be coming back : Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chips

I wasn't expecting much from the food here but it was actually, surprisingly good, perhaps they were a bit short staffed, but they could have been better prepared as there was a cycle event on, so waiting time for service was a bit long. However, the staff were really nice and friendly. Generally the whole place is due a revamp which would bring the surrounds to a good standard as it has everything else going for it in a lovely location and next to the campsite, this could be a really fantastic pub/ restaurant. Due to the owners response I require to clarify some facts here. I was a single participant in the cycling event not in any group and had nothing to do with the organisers or indeed any other cyclists. I believe I gave a reasonable review, however, I also appreciate some of the the owners comments , but certainly none of the ones which are very presumptuous and I believe are also highly accusatory.

Food: Very nice and fresh ingredients, the panini was good, served with salad and lightly salted nacho crisps. I think coleslaw should be added to that dish and an option to have chips instead of the nacho crisps. Service: Friendly staff, though possibly understaffed during lunch times? No one was at the bar when a few couples came in and a second person wasn't at the bar when another member of staff was having their lunch... hope they got paid during their lunch break! Atmosphere: Could do with a spruce up to make the atmosphere better. Needs to be brighter and the furniture needs changed as it makes the place look old (the homely aesthetic isn't there to be able to use that type of furniture). Also, when the first thing you see when walking in is a gambling machine, it screams dive bar... I'd suggest relocating it. Also, more signage is needed for the Car Park as it was a bit unclear at first. Dogs Allowed Parking: Behind the Pub, really unclear whether it's free or not as there is a parking machine... just no signage to say you actually need to pay to park.

Pub is looking very tired and in need of investment. However, the food is very good from a limited menu. Location in the Kielder Forest is lovely, Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Chilli Con Carne
