BEST WESTERN Hotel Restaurant in Northumberland

We debated for miles about lunch. Hexham is still a comfortable rural market town, the Abbey lending an authoritative stamp of history and longevity and gravitas to the delightful place. A sunny, bright October day looked on as we parked at the roadside and on the spur of the moment and the occasion decided to re-visit the Beaumont. Our only previous visit having been in company and for 'business' rather than pure enjoyment. So when we were graciously greeted and conducted to 'any' table for 2 it felt as if we were old friends. Our jackets were hung for us, a carafe of water came with the menus, and the server spoke with some knowledge about the choices when invited 'What would YOU have' We opted for a 'light lunch' variation, which was a good choice. The food was delicious, with those details that mark out some thought and care going into the item. Equally with the dessert, for alongside 'sticky toffee pudding' - which, let's face it, is a bit passé these days - there were intriguing desserts with intermixed chocolate and peanut, and figs, and suchlike unusual items. The delay in serving the desserts became suddenly clear when they arrived. No simple spooning a bit of sickly sponge on a plate with a smother of custard, these were hand assembled and decorated. It's said that you eat with your eyes, and that was as true of the desert as it had been of the main course. The real test is, of course, the flavour, and we agreed that the subtle blending of the flavours and ingredients at each stage of the meal spoke to a competence in the kitchen that is all too missing in these days of fast American rubbish. Well done to all the staff there, and a hoorah for the chefs, unsung heroes of a busy restaurant. But I had a complaint! They are too far away to eat there every week. An entire day out for lunch is a wee bit too much to ask. But then, maybe Hexham Abbey will lay on another exhibition that needs a visit. Or may be it won't really deserve a visit, - but we'll go anyway, and need a meal. Bring it on!

The food was exceptional, and the service was excellent. We were very impressed with the owner and the overall atmosphere was phenomenal. We will definitely be back!

We stayed here a few months ago and enjoyed it so much we thought we would go back for Sunday lunch (we live nearly an hour away but it is so worth it!). The food is great, staff are friendly and it has a lovely, lively atmosphere........it was a lovely mix of couples, friends, families......best way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We will be back again! (Probably sooner rather than later!)

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, the staff were all efficient and friendly, the facilities are all excellent. The room was fresh, stylish, comfortable & spotlessly clean. Lovely atmosphere & location all round. Spot on!👍🏻

We came here for food and have to say the food was amazing,( we both had duck) there is a great selection to choose from and an overall lovely place with great atmosphere and attentive staff. Can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu

We had dinner at the Beaumont and really enjoyed it. The soufflé was perfectly cooked and really delicious. Both main courses (duck and venison) were a joy to eat - really good to see a restaurant which uses ingredients such as parsnip and beetroot in their dishes. Service is attentive and helpful. The accoustics can be a bit of a problem once the place fills up and it gets a little noisy, but overall an excellent meal and good value for money. I'd certainly go back.

My wife and I had a very nice dinner at the restaurant at the Beaumont. I had the steal tartar served with an egg yolk, micro herbs and toasted focaccia. It was very nice. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her oysters with shallots in vinegar. They looked very plump. We both had the chicken off the josper grill with skin on fries and spinach. The chicken was moist with a crispy skin. Neither of us could eat more than the breast. The rest was packed up for us to take home. The chips were hot and well seasoned. The spinach was just wilted and was delicious. Service was friendly and competent.

Excellent delicious food but unfortunately not the service to match it. The drinks took forever and some had to be individually prompted after giving up on the table service. Then we weren’t monitored for drinks status so did not get either the table water, wine or other drinks topped up during the meal as required either. The birthday cake took forever to come back after cutting and also had to be chased down. 5 star food with 2 star service.

Kind and attentive service today for my elderly mother in laws birthday. Did their very best to make the experience special for her and the lunch was delicious too.

We booked for our wedding Aniversary and weren’t disappointed exceptional service with a smile a lovely atmosphere and a few treats to finish to celebrate our Aniversary All very much appreciated. Thank you for Bali g it special The food was good though I have to say having eaten here before it’s been even better and perhaps the menu could do with a refresh Otherwise alm excellent

Just utterly delicious! We didn’t book but they squeezed us in for dinner on a Friday night. Service was incredible. Every single course was perfect. Especially recommend the puddings. Also for the standard of food you receive I would say it’s reasonable. Makes it very difficult to eat anywhere else it’s that good!!!!!

We have been regular visitors to the Beaumont for drinks and dining and have been generally pleased with the overall experience. However on this occasion, the setting and service was poor. We had booked this occasion long in advance as we were meeting up with friends who we had not seen for some time. It was a special occasion. The table had not been set up particularly well, the service was chaotic and often abrupt. My wife waited for her main course long after others had been served and was then told that the chef was unhappy with the dish and was re-doing it. It eventually arrived long after the other guests had eaten theirs. Even though they offered a complimentary glass of wine to my wife as compensation; this was inadequate to overcome our disappointment We then noted that the waitress was sorting the linen in the restaurant area. Not very professional. There was no shortage of staff, just poor organisation and management. We will think twice about re-booking.

I took my friend for lunch for her birthday. What an absolutely fabulous experience. From the minute we walked through the door we were treated like special guests. The staff were courteous, attentive and professional. The restaurant was beautifully laid out and the menu had a great range of food We had steak, perfectly cooked, with additional sides. Portions were perfect, in fact we ordered too much, and the quality of the food was outstanding. One of the nicest meals I've had. Only negative, I was too full to order a dessert. Could not fault a thing, eating there was an absolute pleasure.

We were part of a group doing the Hadrian’s Walk hike - eleven of us. We stayed at the hotel for two nights and ate at the restaurant both nights. Amazing service, with excellent food. A decent wine list with good prices.

We met some friends for a 3 night break. We all loved this hotel. The staff on reception were very welcoming and helpful, letting us get into our room early and advising us on parking. The room had everything we needed with a large comfy bed and a nice, clean bathroom . Breakfasts and Dinners had a large choice of delicious food . Everything was cooked to perfection! We can honestly say that the staff are the best , most helpful , friendly and accommodating team we have met in a hotel. Hexham is a great base for visiting Northumberland especially Hadrians Wall. We wish we could have stayed longer and recommend The Beaumont Hotel for anyone staying in the area.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch which we cannot fault. Tasty, beautifully presented food and drinks were served attentively. It is a fabulous setting by the Abbey and in a spacious, classical open restaurant. Booking, service and ambience were first class. The waiter went out of his way to accommodate our wishes. Our dog was offered a water bowl and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal which included seasonal items.

Been meaning to write this review for a while, a visit to Hexham reminded me, easily one of the best meals I’ve had. Food, atmosphere, wine and staff were all brilliant, I’ve recommended a few times now and everyone who has been has nothing but praise.

17 doddery old fools who think they are still 18 years old, assembled at the Beaumont yesterday for Sunday lunch. We would like to compliment the staff on their professionalism and patience. It can't have been easy to keep smiling. The lunch was delicious and plentiful and we were welcome to dwell after our meal. Everyone said how much they'd enjoyed the whole afternoon. Thank you, Beaumont. Sorry but we do intend to return.

Called in to the Beaumont for a cup of tea with five friends yesterday around 3:30pm.. It was nice and quiet and as always the surroundings and the staff were very pleasant. The tea was served individually in Suki style teapots. There was one teabag in each pot and they were only half filled with boiling water - it was enough for one small cupful. When we asked for additional hot water, it was brought in a very small pot. We said that we would probably need a bit more water, but eventually had to go and seek someone out. We knew that the Beaumont wasn't the cheapest place in town, but at £3:45 a cup we expected a decent amount of tea.

This is a great restaurant. We were very impressed indeed with breakfast. We are both vegetarian and they made a delicious combination of mushrooms, eggs, tomatoes, beans and spinach. The tomatoes were the tiny tasty ones and everything was delicious, accompanied by a good selection of breads and excellent coffee. there was also a great range of fresh fruit, cheeses, and pastries. We would definitely dine here again - and the service was superb.

I booked a table for 3 for Mothers Day, 4 weeks in advance. The staff were very polite and can't be faulted, but we were sat upstairs in the corner, and out on a small single table with hardly any room for anything other than our plates - to the point where our server had to leave our bottle of wine on the floor. Our starters (croquet and trout) were lovely, but the mains were very poor in comparison. 2 had the beef, and 1 had the cod. The cod had a huge bone left in it which was incredibly disappointing. The beef was nice, but the garnish was too sweet, and wasnt pleasant at all. We've visited the Beaumont a few times and have always had a lovely experience. Sadly, this time they fell very short of their usual high standards.

We had two nights of excellent meals from the Beaumont's highly accomplished restaurant team. The menu was varied, innovative and prepared with a very evident pride in their work. The wine list was excellent and competitively priced. The service was friendly and very attentive. We would definitely recommend the Beaumont to all our friends.

The restaurant food was excellent with interesting and innovative dishes and the wine list was varied and reasonably priced. Service was attentive and friendly.

We stayed in the hotel for the weekend and enjoyed dinner on both nights. Imaginative, reasonably priced food and wine with outstanding friendly and efficient service. What's not to like? Breakfast too was plentiful and varied. Well done!

Have eaten here numerous times and usually excellent. Menu has changed. Some aspects, fab steak & chicken & brilliant desert but we found the sides with quite strong sauces which were all very different meant the overall main courses were a bit disjoined. Personal taste of course. Service and ambiance great as usual.

We went for afternoon tea.The food was good as was the service.The atmosphere and the whole experience was underwhelming.The crockery eg the cups and tea pot and jugs were to say the least inelligent and not what you would expect at this hotel. The table we were sat at had seen better days and could have and should have been been covered. On the whole not worth the cost.

This Restaurant is good for Food and Customer Service. Love the positive vibe x. Enthralling! Delicious! Would I come back here again? Of course, This has to be one of the most elegant restaurant that I’ve ever been to. Customer Friendly and always shows up with a smile. -Butter and Bread= moist and spongy. -Rotolo (Vegetarian dish - Pasta) = Neatly Presented, Very Good and Healthy for Vegetarians. Not for me but others may like this dish. -Drinks = Refreshing and clean. -Desserts: Carrot Cake & cream= Bit Dry, Not very Carroty, Has to be moist and 50% sweet. Crème Caramel = Stretchy, moist, Perfectly Sweet, Milky, nice consistency, melts in your mouth, Nutty flavour,

We enjoyed a delicious lunch which we cannot fault. Tasty, beautifully presented food and drinks were served attentively. It is a fabulous setting by the Abbey and in a spacious, classical open restaurant.

Absolutely stunning food. Really unusual dishes wonderfully executed. First class service. We will definitely be back.

We had a family birthday celebration at the Beaumont . The service was great , the food delicious and the staff all very helpful . The location with the view of the Sele park was great . The organization of the meal was straightforward with timely responses from the hotel.

Very tasty dinner and we were pleased the restuarant opened at 5pm as we wanted to eat quality food, but earlier than usual. Very good service and the kitchen was open to see - always a good sign. The risotto and the gnochi where both excellent, as were the oysters. All in all a lovely experience and if we lived closer we would be regulars for speical occasions.

We booked an early dinner slot before attending The Sixteen concert in the Abbey on the other side of the road and I would estimate from the clientele that a goodly number of them would be wending their way there as well. My wife uses a wheelchair which apart from the reviews was the main driver for eating their because of the access. Two lowish steps to get in (a ramp in available). We were expected and welcomed before being escorted to a well-accessible table which did involve a slight adjustment of the sofa behind it to allow the chair in. Good selection of dishes on a slightly restricted menu which I take to be a good sign - my wife had skate, I went for the venison and we were both very pleased with the dishes and service. The house wine was reasonably priced and decidedly decent. Creme brulee just right and apple in calvados delicious. All well priced too. One issue - there is a disabled WC which is fully accessible (sone arent elsewhere!) but the mirror over the handbasin is too high for those in wheelchairs. Just a thought.

Thanks to millie and Claudia for excellent service. Busy for a great Sunday lunch. Enormous portions cooked just as we asked. Good wine list. Just as expected and worth it.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Really tender juicy tasty sirloin , loads of good vegetables including cauliflower cheese and 4 other veg. Great service as always and brilliant value.

Very disappointed with both the food and service. We waited over 30 minutes for our main course and the food was very poor. It looked good on the plate but my Duck was tough and difficult to cut and my husband asked for his steak to be medium to well done but it was still very bloody and more rare than medium. I wouldn’t recommend going for food and we won’t be going back as it’s over priced and over rated!!

This is in a prime location in hexham we sat outside with drinks on a Saturday afternoon it's a sun trap staff were 1st class and certainly new their wines and beers a very pleasant afternoon was had

Private function upstairs. Food very nice. Service also very good. Large group but food arrived all together. Well presented dishes. Nice ingredients. Portion size I would say was a little on the small size

Went in for lunch on husband’s birthday (not booked) Manager must have overheard me comment on the fact it was my hubby’s birthday, and at the end of meal he presented my husband with a happy birthday plate of chocolate truffles and us both a complimentary drink. Also the service was exceptional with a large bottle of water delivered without request which was then promptly replaced once empty. Food was absolutely delicious, and served in a timely manner. I requested a cushion for my back and was promptly given one. Decor, toilets etc.. clean and well decorated. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful hotel, service was amazing from start to finish. The staff could not have done enough for us. The only meal we had at the hotel was breakfast which was also amazing. Very fast from the kitchen & tasty. Plenty of options both hot and cold. My husband & I have already spoke of returning.

Delicious food. We had the cheese soufflé, bavette and risotto. Service was great, all staff we came into contact with her very friendly, polite and attentive. Comfortable bed and nice room. We will be back.

I ordered cod with seafood, samphire and Jersey Royals for my lunch today. The cod was under seasoned, overcooked and served on a watery bed of over cooked vegetables. A very disappointing meal.

Birthday celebration meal with family Food was good but the service let down the whole evening, our waitress was like a robot fulfilled what was required without any Joie de vie at all, no rapport at all, no smile, no banter of any kind just ticked the boxes of the minimum required. Frankly I was pleased to go home. Very disappointing. In a customer service industry rapport with the customer is everything, it is the difference between repeat visits and never again.

Recommended by friends and we weren't disappointed. One of the best restaurants we've found in the north east.

Stayed for 3 nights over Christmas with my partner. We were greeted by friendly staff at reception and given a lovely room. Christmas Eve meal in the restaurant was enjoyable and tasty. Christmas Day Dinner, turkey with the trimming was very good. Again the staff were friendly and very attentive. Wine selection was extensive and the cask beer from the bar was well kept and although limited to 2 both were excellent. Again on the following day the standard of service and food was good. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

I enjoyed my oysters and my partner loved her soufflés starter our main course of sea trout was delicious. This is a restaurant not to miss if you are in Hexham.

We were shown to our table in a small alcove by a very attentive waiter who gave us time to settle before taking a drinks order. All too often waiting staff rush one through the process of selecting dishes etc so this was very welcome change. After some lovely cocktails we had a range of starters. My smoked eel was a first and I really enjoyed it. Smoked sea trout followed and was also lovely.The crème brule desert was excellent, this isn't always the case.We shall undoubtedly return when next in Northumberland.

Nice restaurant/bar, friendly staff. But the food was nice if you don’t mind very very small portions. Cost about £8 for a starter and £22 for a main. Food is nice,but about 5 mouthfuls and it’s gone. There was a party of 3 of us and after we had had our food here we left to go to Wetherspoons for a plate of chips and 3 puddings. So personally I wouldn’t go back, it was my second time and I should have learnt from my first visit. I have no idea why the would not just give you a portion of vegetables in the middle of the table just to share.

Ate here on two consecutive evenings and had two of the best meals I have ever experienced. The food and service were truly exceptional.

Went there today for Sunday lunch.Soup was very watery.The chicken was so salty I'm not sure if the chef accidentally put far too much salt in as a drink if water was needed after every bite.The beef was 1/4 fat and only two thin slices with fat cut off was not much.one roast potato a spoonful of mash one parsnip a giant Yorkshire pudding presumably to fill you up.I was really looking forward to this but felt very deflated.the cauliflower cheese was one floret each with no spoon or extra fork for sharing bowl so didn't want to use forks we had in our mouths.There was some mashed veg turnip I think and some green slimy stuff.Also we had 25 minutes wait between courses.Maybe we were just unlucky and the chef had a bad day as other reviews are good.

As a party of four, we stayed at the Beaumont Hotel on a bed and breakfast basis and enjoyed our stay very much. All the staff are helpful, friendly and very efficient when clearing, cleaning and re-setting tables as it was really busy with locals and hotel guests alike.A really good selection of choices on the breakfast menu and staff were really on the ball, checking we received everything we had ordered. Breakfasts were served quickly and of excellent standard. We tried the full English breakfast, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on granary toast and I even had the vegetarian breakfast ( although not a vegetarian!) and I thought it was one of the best breakfasts I’ve had!All in our party thought it was a well organised set up and of excellent standard for the price. Definitely will be back to the Beaumont Hotel.

Two of us needed Sunday lunch on our way to Newcastle but had a tight schedule so we booked and advised the Beaumont . As soon as we arrived we were shown to a table and told" oh yes, you are in a hurry"-very impressive!We need not have worried -service was quick and so in the end we had time for a 3 course lunch. At one point my friend dropped his fork on the floor. It had hardly hit the ground before a new one appeared.The roast beef was pink and perfect and the panna cotta perfect too.I rarely give 5 stars- the Beaumont was faultless.

From the friendly and professional welcome to the drinks and then the food , everything was top quality.Everything we chose on the lunch menu was fresh, beautifully cooked and well presented. The waiting staff were extremely efficient and helpful.The stone bass main was especially good. The only problem with the Beaumont is that it is too far from home for more regular visits !

Excellent place to visit any time of the day - perfect to stop for a coffee or for an evenimg meal. Lovely place with fast service

Like so many wonderful restaurants, Sunday Lunch often comes up short.We were greeted with a somewhat indifferent host, and we had a pleasant drink whilst we waited for friends to join.Impressed and encouraged by how busy the place was we were looking forward to our Lunch.Service was quick enough, with a serious but professional enough waiter (what is it with the lack of friendliness and warmth). Great choice of Sunday Lunch menu - something for everyone.Cheese soufflé was excellent for starters.Unfortunately for our table of 4, 2 of the mains were hot and 2 were cold. The waiter willingly removed the 2 ….. 10 mins later, our friends had finished theirs and we got a replacement. Not the best scenario. One little gripe too - what’s the new fashion for drowning plates in gravy - May suit some, but I think gravy on the side is a better option then everyone is satisfied in their own gravy liking.Pudding - mixed bag. Cheesecakes all looked lovely, and we’re well received but the sticky toffee pudding was dry and not sticky.So, maybe we just had a bad experience because given how busy it was it’s certainly popular, and we went based on the invitation of our friends and Gracie Dent’s comments. We’d try again but for week day Dinner maybe.A bit of tweaking and it’d be too marks.

I thought the quality for cuisine at the Beaumont was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed a vegetarian lunch with excellent service too. Looking forward very much to a return visit here now I have discovered it.

Went for the three course Sunday lunch set menu with the family for a birthday meal out. The food was really great, nice atmosphere and the staff were excellent - our waitress, whom I believe was called Claire, was very attentive and friendly and explained the menu well - thanks a lot.

This was one of the very few restaurants open in Hexham on a Sunday evening. We had food more superb than we had ever tasted before. The menu was full of unusual ingredients and the quality of cooking and taste was top class. Big town menu with small town prices.

stoppedhere foe a bite for lunch after reading a positive rebiew in The Week. slow service particularly as nothing we ordered had to be cooked and a miniscule portion of crab

Walked into the restaurant without a booking. Managed to get a table after a short wait. Staff really attentive, food very good, a great atmosphere and a lot of bustle that adds to the experience. Bifold doors on the frontage are ideal for warm days.

We are regular visitors to the Hexham/Corbridge area. Having this place recommended by a local and having seen the Grace Dent story we gave it a try on a Monday eveing in September.Restaurant was very busy always a good sign. Ambience great with frontage open safe and it was warm outside. Outstanding service excellent choice of pre dinner drinks. Very sensible pricing on a very good wine list.To the food top notch my steak was cooked perfectly.The peach tarte tatin was outstanding and compares favourably to several michelin starred restaurants I have eaten in in Edinburgh recently.I am sometimes dubuious of hotel restaurants but please try this establishment. Hexham has 2 excellent restaurants now.

Had dinner here while touring Northumberland and the food was superb - absolutely top quality, innnovative and delicious

We had a superb 3 course meal. Quite the best meal we have had in a while. Fine dining I would say. Good wine too. And very good service. And of course a great “ombyonce”. No we are not connected to the hotel in any way.

We ate here on a Monday evening and although the drinks area was busy the dining area was still comforable and uncrowded. The service was good and the food was excellent. The menu has interesting choices and our meal was cooked to perfection and well presented.

We last visited here in 2015 when we stayed for a local wedding so we were surprised to see the huge transformation the hotel has had. Lovely sunny day so the front of the hotel had the folding doors open which gave a welcoming first impression.Quickly seated and viewed the menu.I had the crab started and hubby the salmon- my crab was plentiful - did lack some seasoning but was lovely!Mains arrived soon after we finished starters- I had cod, hubby the lamb and the kids had chicken strips and pasta a cheese.Mains beautifully presented - my cod was delicious- again lacked seasoning and cold- didn’t want to make a fuss and send it back.I had the soufflé for dessert- it was lovely and held it shape for its journey to the table!Not wanting to cause debate but I’m never a lover of a service charge being added to a bill- I feel it’s a bit pretentious! I get it when visiting Michelin restaurants- maybe this needs reviewing!

We booked for lunch having read a review in the Guardian and weren't disappointed - the food was fabulous! The menu has some favourites but also some far more unusual and adventurous dishes combining ingredients you wouldn't expect to see on the same plate - but they do work and make such a change from the same old dishes...Service is excellent, the ambience is good and prices are a bargain given the quality of the cooking and the ingredients - highly recommended!No idea why this isn't the #1 restaurant in Hexham

Had a gorgeous meal last night with 2 friends visiting Hexham for first time. We all had fish trout and cod and it was outstanding along with the yummy desserts.Staff were excellent and very accommodating as we asked to be moved due to being next to two large groups and it was very noisy that we were struggling to hear each other. Once moved it was much better.

Stayed 2 nights here, both evenings we had drinks in the main bar whose large windows open up to turn the room into a street cafe/bar/restaurant which meant that the atmosphere was lively and fun. The service was v good and they served an excellent wheat beer, sparkling wine, and all at reasonable prices. Ate 1 evening meal and although initially the menu looked limited it was excellent. We enjoyed the pressed pork, beetroot cured salmon, the trout and roasted cod - all well presented, tasty and good sized portions. We had a great evening, thanks to all, we will return.

We’re locals and came for lunch (again). Very welcoming, but the bar staff weren’t wearing masks, the waitress had a totally useless mini-visor and the waiter often had his mask below his nose. And they were very close to us. Puddings were amazing. First course crab - just not sure sweet crab and sweet tomatoes go together. Main course cod lovely. Friendly, will come back again when I feel Covid safer

Good meal in nice surroundings.I wanted a lighter meal, so rather than having a starter and main course I had two starters - roasted peach followed by smoked salmon, finishing with a trio of cheeses which were nicely at room temperature.The meal was very nice. Service was efficient and prompt. Nice evening.

Brilliant service. Care and attention to details. They were so professional and kindThe food…the food…super super good. I had the salmon starter and the beef…my wife had the roasted cod. Both were fabulous!!Great spot near the Abbey and great space to enjoy yourself and be safe. Defo going back. Yummo!!

We don't write reviews but felt that this experience was so impressive that we had to share it...We spent a long time researching a local place to go to for our wedding anniversary. We are so pleased that we went to The Beaumont - what a find! The food was excellent - all three courses delighted and were cooked to perfection. The starters ranged in price from £7-10 and included beef tartare, and roasted apricots with buttermilk, which were delicious. The mains ranged in price from £13-20, we had a burger and a steak - again, perfectly cooked. The desserts were fantastic and included cheese dishes with local cheeses, chocolate mousse, and coconut souffle. All averaging £8. We were encouraged to relax and take our time with our meal. The staff were attentive, courteous, caring and kind -they reserved a parking space, lent us a parking disc, gave us surprise chocolates and tea/coffee when they discovered the reason for our visit! We sat in the open doors to the outside opposite the Abbey gardens and it was peaceful. The place was very Covid secure and spotlessly clean. The owner/ manager (?) was training a new member of staff during our visit - we were impressed with their patience and kindness towards her, despite it being quite busy. Appeared to be child friendly. We will definitely return here if we visit this area again - it was amongst the best dining experiences we have had. Don't hesitate to visit:)

We booked on the basis of the menu advertised on the website but the limited menu actually available was limited and unexciting. The dishes we ordered were fairly ordinary and overpriced. Nice ambience and attentive staff but will not be returning.

An exceptional bistro-style restaurant in the centre of beautiful Hexham. Reassuringly short but varied menu, inspired wine list and impeccable service standards.

I went in on Saturday last, 8 of us. This is by a country mile one of the best dining experiences any of us have had outside of London for a very long time. The food was incredible - well done, tasty, beautifully presented, not trying to be too clever. The team in the kitchen (all on display) were working tremendously hard as were all the waiting staff. As said, the menu is simple and works beautifully. The wine list is short and covers all bases in that there is something on it for everyone's taste, price or otherwise. The entire place is spotlessly clean. Go and see for yourselves. Tremendously good. Well done to the imaginative chef and the rest of the front of house and kitchen team. I'd be surprised if they don't win a few regional awards here. Finally, the price - really, really reasonable. Something of this outstanding quality in London would have easily cost twice the price.

This is a very beautiful and buzzing restaurant for a summer Sunday night in Hexham. Our food (risotto, lamb, soufflé and raspberry chocolate dessert) was delicious and the service was warm and efficient. We only heard about this place from reading the review by Grace Dent two days earlier and enjoyed it enormously after a busy day at Hadrian's wall.

We enjoyed lunch here and an afternoon cream tea. Both perfect. Very friendly service. Good quality food at a sensible price. Easy parking outside.

We stayed at the hotel for two nights and planned to eat once in the restaurant and once somewhere else in the town. We failed to find anywhere else in Hexham to eat out on a Monday night, so dined at the Beaumont the second night too.The food was amazing both evenings. The menu didn't change but it was varied enough to satisfy us on each occasion. The first evening we sat on the quieter left-side of the restaurant. The second evening we were on the busier right-hand side and could see the professionalism of the kitchen through the open plan layout.The food was perfectly cooked and presented, served attentively but not obtrusively. I would most definitely dine here again.

Efficiency everywhere - reception, waiting staff, food service, responsive to problems. Lovely, rather quirky hotel in the centre of historic Hexham. They coped brilliantly with our 16 strong group’s needs. The food was fabulous- range, quality, speed, presentation.

The Beaumont does it well. This all day restaurant/Bistro trades on a warm atmosphere and friendly staff with a limited menu that is excellent. We ordered the charred mackerel and then the steak and turbot for main. courses. The mackerel was stunning - crisp on the outside and soft and meaty inside with a crisp salad. The steak was divine - its one of the best I had for a while. perfectly cooked and presented with an elegant sauce. The Turbot was stunning. This came with an excellent bottle of wine, bread and a shared desert for £90 and was worth it... excellent

Four of us booked dinner at the Beaumont. Two of the party had the chicken dish which was fine. However two of us ordered the risotto at £14. When it came it was a very small serving of glutinous of risotto with nothing to accompany it. It was unlike any risotto I have eaten anywhere and extremely poor value for money. Furthermore, the acoustics were very poor making conversation difficult. We will not be returning.

Arrived without booking for a light lunch, lovely menu, reasonably priced. Greeted warmly and well attended by all staff including the owner/manager who was keen to know about our experience. Warm, friendly atmosphere created by people who want to please.Thoroughly enjoyable, will return and certainly recommend.

We visited this restaurant twice over the half term whilst on holiday in Northumberland. We were not let down the food was exquisite beautifully presented in a wonderful environment which was very accommodating for us as a family also. We visited early in the evening and the weather was great so the front doors were open I had a really great atmosphere between us and over the two visits I think we had quite a few of the main dishes on the menu all of Which were cooked to perfection. The kids food from the kids menu was also really well Cooked and really well presented. It was a really nice place and I would highly recommend

Everything was cooked to perfection from starters to mains. The wine selection was excellent too. I had sirloin steak for mains and Jeannie had the chicken. Outstanding. For starter I had Burrata and Jeannie had beef.

A family Sunday lunch in the marquee in the abbey grounds was excellent. The staff were very helpful accommodating our two babies and little dog in the tent. First class meal, excellent service and good value. Many thanks.

In my view there are only two really excellent restaurants in Hexham this one and Bouchon . If you like good food these are the places to eat.The Beaumont have set up a marquee-type outdoor restaurant in the grounds of Hexham Abbey to cope with current regulations and the results are excellent. The menu is , of course more limited than normal but the results are still outstanding. Congratulations to the team here on their efforts as it is simply a pleasure to eat here.

Was very disappointed with our visit today , although childrens menu was on the website it was however not available, we decided to leave ... just a disappointing visit

I was staying near Hexham for a long weekend. Visiting Hexham, and looking for a nice cafe to relax, have a coffee and a bit of lunch, the Beaumont Hotel was recommended to me by a local. I was surprised - a hotel...surely not... there must be nicer inner town cafes? But it was amazing, such an atmospheric, spaceous, beautifully stylish cafe, with great service and wonderful coffee and food. You could spend all day here, just soaking up the atmosphere. Hugely recommended, when in Hexham, do as the locals, go find the Beaumont.

We had dinner here two nights on our stay. Had cheese souffle and pork cheek for starters and then steaks one night. They didn’t have peppercorn sauce on the menu but made one up for us and it was tasty. Also a nice romantic setting to eat.

We were staying at the Beaumont Hotel and had dinner there on our first night. One of the best dinners I have had for a long time. Everything was cooked perfectly, presented beautifully and served by excllent staff.

Nice menu not too large. I had the venison my wife the lemon sole the sauce that came with the fish was Devine I was told. The venison cooked well and the vegetables Were also really appetising.

Great service and great food.The venison main course was one of the best venison dishes i've ever had; all the flavours and textures complemented each other perfectly.We also had the cheese soufflé and chicken leg raviolo, both were first class.Desserts: we had the pineapple and the chocolate fondant.Most impressed with the standard of food.

We made it clear from the start we just wanted to a drink and a cake. Waitress huffed and puffed as she’d set the table for a meal. From that we were not made to feel very welcome, which was s shame as it had been recommended to us.Service was slow and quite abrupt.

Great meal, food very fresh and well cooked, plenty choice and portions were more than enough Staff so friendly and helpful Definitely be back

Group of 6 ordering meals. All looked good quality, mains pricing between £14 and £24. I feel there was much concentration put in to the artistic side of the dishes than a wholesome meal. The pork meal looked very pretty and an entry into Masterchef, however 5 bitesize pieces of pork did not cover the hunger and looked more like a starter. The eat out to help out scheme lightened the blow of the pork meal not costing the full £17, however I feel the portion sizes needs to be addressed as otherwise this rating would have been a 5/5.

Had lunch here today with my partner during a road trip stop The wait staff were outstanding, and the food was brilliant. We had the steak tartare as a starter, the gnocchi with mushrooms and an open smoked salmon and pickled cucumber sandwich. It was so good we decided to ask for the dessert menu -I had the pannacotta and he had a cheese platter. Everything was evidently prepared in house (their own pickles, hand made gnocchi etc) and presented with flare and passion. Even better, there was nothing pretentious about the place, it was just relaxed, excellent food with great staff. We really enjoyed ourselves and it looked like everyone around us did too.If covid measures are so.ething you like to see, it's one of the few places we've found in the north with wait staff wearing masks and well spaced seating. Batbroom doors are ajar and taps are hands free.

The ambience of the hotel is lovely, busy and lively. The staff very attentive. We ordered the steak (£24) but it was chewy, grisly and cold!!! The tiny bit of lettuce that was on the plate was wilted and not appealing, the pepper sauce was thin!!! The chips were delicious though. We ordered the steak as we had read reviews about small portions. Probably will no go back for food as so disappointing.

Went for food as a large party with children. Food was excellent and the service was first class. Really enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend.

I will start by saying this is a lovely venue and the food is very nice. I have marked down for 2 reasons. Firstly there were no vegetarian starters and 1 main course the gnocchi that I think was but not entirely sure as parmesan isnt. I don't think its acceptable to not offer veggie choices nowadays. My 2nd negative is portion sizes. Tiny. If you order gnocchi you expect a bowl of it not 6 pieces on a plate with a few other bits and pieces. It was the most meagre main course I've ever seen. But it did taste lovely, just needed something to eat on the way home!

On the negativ side had to walk in road to enter restauran safely and portions may have shrunk. But hugely positive with a great range of tastes on my lamb and my wife's rump steak more like sirloin. Fondant slightly hard on exerior but we were just overoyed to find a safe place to enjoy good foos - worth the money eveb without Boris's "20 discount.

I can not fault this restaurant! The service was fantastic very professional all COVID precautions were present , the food was out of this world I can not praise the staff enough my wife and I were very happy
