Fire&Dough in Northumberland

Arrived a little earlier than expected after an almost 200 mile motorbike ride. We were shown to our room in an annex to the pub. A very nice room with absolutely everything we could have needed.There are only 3 rooms in the annex, each with a very pleasant outside seating area (there were even throws and an electronic fly zapper). We had opted for twin beds which were comfortable but a little narrow for my large husband. After settling in we went for a beer in the pub - everyone was very friendly, staff and local customers and their dogs. After a shower, big cubicle, big showerhead and plenty of hot water, we had our evening meal at the pub as there was nowhere else nearby and thoroughly enjoyed everything Italian style. They even have a Doggie Menu! Not Italian. Breakfast was fantastic - help yourself to cereal, fruit, yogurt, croissants, tea/cafeteire coffee/juice, hubby had the full English and I had the continental which was unbelievable - selection of proper continental meats, 3 different cheeses, tomatoes, olives and toasted ciabatta. Our compliments went to the chef. An exceptional stay, definitely recommended.

Had lunch at La Mensa this afternoon with some friends. I had the Hawaiian pizza and my friends had the special pizza and a pasta dish. We all loved our food and were extremely impressed with the price, quality and service. Really friendly and welcoming staff, we will be coming back.

I only tasted the tiramisu and it's a shame because it has no taste. The texture is not that of tiramisu but more of a cake. The scoop of vanilla ice cream also has no flavor. Disappointing, I who wanted to eat a good dessert should have instead eaten a cereal bar... :(

First time I have been food was lovely and alyho we were a large party the service was very quick would definitely recommend the Lollo Rosso Italia

The most attentive & happy staff, pizzas were delicious and a great price also! Finished with two tasty coffees.
