About This Pub
So, if you're after a cosy spot in Northumberland for a pint and some banter, The Blagdon Arms really hits the mark in a lot of ways – the staff are usually spot on, making you feel right at home, and it's brilliant for watching the big games with all those screens dotted around. The drink deals are a treat too, and the outdoor area with live music makes it a fun place to unwind, especially if you're with the family or even the dog. We've had some cracking quiz nights there that had us in stitches. But, on the flip side, it's a shame about the odd hiccup with food; a mate mentioned getting the wrong order, which really soured things, and it seems they might not be doing proper meals just now, which could leave you wanting more. Still, with its community spirit and affordable vibes, it's worth popping in – just keep expectations in check for the finer details.

Cons

There have been some slip-ups with food orders, like mix-ups with vegan options that left a bad taste – literally.
-
The manager hasn't always handled situations well in a few cases, which can put a damper on an otherwise nice visit.

They don't seem to offer full meals at the moment, just snacks like crisps and nuts, so it might not satisfy if you're after a proper bite.
-
A few recent experiences have been disappointing, with some folks feeling let down by the service overall.

Manager defo in the wrong line of business. On my own, killing time until i met up witb friends. I ordered a cider and my card pyt failed. Tapped again and tried to get the bar maids attention, as no one came back to me I took my drink outside. Manager then came and told me my drink had not been paid for. I told him I'm shouted for the barmaid. He said shouting "at" staff is no way to get served. I tried to explain that I didn't shout at her but for her to check. He accused me of being aggressive. Told me to drink my drink and then leave. No need for me to ever go back there 🤬🤬🤬
Hate leaving bad reviews but Ordered a vegan burger and fries and despite it clearly saying vegan they put bacon and chicken in the box not sure if it was a genuine accident but can’t leave a good review for that - do not order if veggie
Update on this review - they said someone would be in touch - no one was so the issue was never resolved
A large pub with multiple tv's so great for sports. As of today (04.01.2025) they do not offer food, only crisp, nuts etc. The beer good, reasonably priced, staff are usually friendly.
It's a lovely local with friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. We come regularly especially to play the quiz on Tuesdays as a family or with friends. It's such a good laugh. We will keep coming back and recommending to others.
This is a great little pub in Cramlington village. It has a large outdoor seating area at the front of the pub which is ideal for breakfast. The breakfasts are very reasonably priced and delicious. There is a massive beer garden at the rear which often has live entertainment. I would highly recommend this pub.
