The Ridley Arms

About The Ridley Arms

The Ridley Arms is a Sir John Fitzgerald pub in Stannington, a short drive north-west of Cramlington off the A1. CAMRA describes it as a pub with several distinct areas dating back to the 18th century, and the Co-Curate record of Stannington's buildings notes that it was built as a coaching inn on what was the Great North Road. The building itself is not listed.

The pub serves food daily and has real wood fires, an enclosed outdoor terrace, a function room and a car park. Dogs are welcome in the bar area and children are welcome. Details were checked in November 2026, so confirm hours with the pub before you go.
