Cresswell Arms — Restaurant in England

We came as a large group of 11, whilst on a weekend Caravan Break at Sandy Bay Holiday Park, and duly proceeded to have an absolutely excellent Saturday afternoon and evening in the Creswell Arms.

We effectively had the 'Sitting Room' area with the Pool Table, pretty much all to ourselves, though the rest of the bar and rooms were quite busy with customers.

The staff were great, and couldn't do enough to help us. The Pool Table was free for the day, and there was a good range of hot snacks and bar food available to keep the hunger side of our day all sorted too.

With my childhood years seeing my weekends and summer holidays spent at Church Point Caravan Park just next door (and all the Dads/Uncles doing many a pub crawl, starting off at the Creswell Arms), it's perhaps a bit strange to say it's taken me 48 years to finally get to the Creswell Arms myself, but now that I have, I can honestly say I wish I'd managed it sooner.

I will certainly be back when the opportunity affords it!

A great afternoon and evening, spent in great company, but with the added final essential ingredient of a great bar and great atmosphere (and great staff), included too.

I readily recommend you check the Creswell Arms out if you ever find yourself in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea with any...

Claiming it was 'his house' And told her to get out unless she was buying a drink. Needless to say i wouldnt buy a drink from the place if it was the last pub left open on earth, owner has a disgusting attitude towards people. Avoid giving this bloke your money, he...

A friendly pub,with fantastic staff. I visited it on Sunday Evening 28th August 2022.the locals made me very welcome.The Barmaid even laughed at my joke about true Scotsmen not putting water or ice in their whisky. And the man in charge who called " last orders please " had been the perfect host all evening. I spoke to him in the street next morning, and he asked me if I had enjoyed my visit to The Cresswell Arms. Which I had .....very much. I will definitely visit again, when I'm in...
