The Cumberland Arms

About The Cumberland Arms

The Cumberland Arms is a traditional pub at 17 Front Street in the heart of Tynemouth village, a short walk from the seafront and the ruins of Tynemouth Priory and Castle. Housed in a red-brick and faience Victorian building dating from 1898, it reopened in September 2021 following an extensive renovation that gave it a contemporary feel while retaining its character. Arranged over three levels linked by shallow steps, it is a cosy, welcoming spot that is both child- and dog-friendly, with a real fire, a garden and Sky Sports for live football.

The pub pairs a good selection of cask ales and gin with freshly made, authentic British comfort food. Its menu runs from everyday pub classics to a well-regarded Sunday roast, and it has become one of the most popular pubs on Front Street. With its relaxed atmosphere and prime village location by the coast, the Cumberland Arms serves both locals and visitors exploring Tynemouth's beaches and historic landmarks.
