Eating and drinking at the Kirkstyle is a very pleasant experience, made more so by the very welcoming and attentive staff. The wines on offer are from an impressive range and each one we tried was excellent, accompanying some inventive and well cooked dishes - the game terrine was really good.. The room we had (Armstrong) was comfortable and spacious with top quality bedding, which I think makes all the difference. During our stay, we visited Hexham races (45 minutes drive) which is the highest course in England so expect to be wind blown and absolutely freezing! However, returning to the Kirkstyle and enjoying a drink in front of their blazing log fire rounds the day off nicely.

Our first wedding anniversary could not have been better spent, than anywhere other than the Kirkstyle Inn. The Tasting Menu was utterly amazing! We savoured every single course, and loved how the waiter/waitress described every dish. We will be returning again in the near future.

We came for a roast dinner and whilst that was absolutely delicious, I was absolutely blown away by the desserts, in a league of their own. The rhubarb and custard souffle was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, and the caramel tart also exceptional. My little girl also enjoyed her sausages and chips. DO NOT SKIP DESSERT!!! This is well positioned to visit the Lambley Viaduct for a nice trail walk afterwards.

The staff were so accommodating I was travelling with my 4 month old baby and was offered a cot and they carried my bags up for me. I had the Sunday roast which was probably the best I’ve ever had or certainly had in a very long time. The room was immaculate. Obviously recently refurbed to a really high spec. Beautiful antique pieces, a very comfy bed and a Samsung Frame TV. Never switched it on, just watched the art on it! Breakfast was lovely (though only filter coffee no chance for a latte). It is really remote but beautiful countryside. I will definitely stay here again.

Made the trek across from North Shields for lunch and had an excellent meal again - this was our second visit (the first was in February and we knew we'd be back sooner or later). We had the a la carte lunch, and the food is of really high quality and prepared and presented with obvious care. Service is friendly and efficient, and there's a nice, welcoming atmosphere. A perfect way to celebrate an anniversary! There's also some interesting memorials in the adjacent churchyard, if you've a spare 5 or 10 minutes for a wander. (Photos are from our February visit, in case the light looks odd for mid-September!)

We are a couple with a dog- we had a wonderful night away in this rural inn to celebrate our anniversary and took advantage of the dinner bed and breakfast deal. The dinner was delicious and the atmosphere at the inn was great. Our room was a very high standard. In the morning, we went out for an excellent muddy dog walk right from the front door (there was a helpful book in the room).

The most fantastic Sunday Lunch! We were lucky enough to get the last 3 beef on Sunday evening and were not disappointed. Good portion size without being huge just for the sake of it. Fantastic quality, it's nice to be able to have the meat cooked to your liking rather than just sliced roast beef. Nice place to sit with great views out of the front. Priced well for a gastro pub and great quality.

A bit of a bad experience for us to be honest We made a booking for 6 on the 2nd June for my mother's 89th birthday We were really looking forward to it The starters were lovely, but the 3 main courses of beef had sinew running right through it was terrible My main course was the sweet potato, that too was inedible due to the amount of balsamic vinegar over it My relative did send an email to the chef as she did not want to put the review on here We recieved no reply hence our comment on here A lot of money for a disappointing meal for my Mother's 89th birthday

Fourth visit since the Inn reopened and food and service are consistently very good. However one really annoying issue, since they gained recognition by Michelin the portion sizes have progressively got smaller each time we visit. To the extent that a Sunday roast beef lunch with two tiny slices of beef around 1/4” thick x 1.5” wide x 2” length is completely underwhelming. The same mini portion issue also applied to my partners hogget dish. Ridiculously small amounts of the key ingredient, the highlight of the dish, yet increasing prices charged will have only one result if continued as a policy—-zero business! We shall not be returning to be treated this way, its simply taking the Mickey too far.

Outstanding food. Our only criticism was that the portions are preposterously small (except for the Sunday roast). Grateful they let us sit and eat at a table by the bar when I’d booked the wrong Kirkstyle Inn. It’s rightly a really busy restaurant (not a pub in reality) so need to book ahead at weekends. The complimentary sour dough to start left us in no doubt how high quality the food was - to die for. I then shared venison haunch & a Sunday roast. Both meats were as good as they come & cooked to perfection. But to only have a single mushroom & piece of the other veg with the venison just isn’t a complete meal. The price isn’t silly for this quality of food so maybe they should just encourage you to order sides. For dessert I had the raspberry soufflé with rhubarb ice cream - sweet, fluffy perfection. Still 5* & highly recommend

Have dined here half a dozen times since it reopened after the transformational refurbishment. It's the best restaurant in the immediate Alston area. Menu is pretty much fine dining with quite delicate measures, so order plenty of sides. They use local ingredients where they can and the food is all the better for it. I will return again later this year.

Stunning location, great environment just a shame the food doesn’t match the former. Indeed there wasn’t quite enough food to make a judgement. My priority is always the quality of the food not the quantity but when you only have a couple of mouthfuls, for a main course that costs £25 with no complimentary vegetables or indeed complimentary anything, followed by a pudding that also leaves you wanting more, the only feeling I was left with was overall disappointment….and hunger!!! I would love to have made a plan to return but this will not happen… even the view is not enough…..

I am blown away, stunning location with incredible views as the sun began to set. This place is so far out of ‘the way’ yet local enough to return - which we will. It actually only took 38 minutes from Hexham to reach the venue and we were smiling all the way once we left the A69. Beautiful roads, that twist and turn through stunning Northumberland and then you happen across a lone pub. But this is no ordinary pub, from the immaculate exterior to the modern take on a barn conversion/meets country pub/meets cosy restaurant - all in one. Its perfection is reserved however for the very attentive and professional staff, who bring humour and warmth to the occasion. Then the food comes…. What a flavour explosion. Every mouthful of the delicately laid out plates takes on a new peak of taste explosion, teasing you further into the dish. A country pub might be expected to overload a plate to ensure that quantity over quality is assured - but this is a work of art, experienced by many eyes who watch master chef on the TV, yet here we are sat in Slaggyford!! I don’t really want to tell you all this as I can’t see being able to get a table again until 2024, especially since the Times and Observer glowingly reviewed this place too…. But I want the friendly staff and the incredible chef to get the merit they deserve. So yes, definitely the best meal I’ve had in 2023 and possibly of all time. Don’t take my word for it, but don’t delay as I can’t see the ‘£30 for three courses’ price tag staying much longer.

I booked for my family well ahead of time and asked specially for vegetarian options. We checked the published menus and there were various vegetarian options and a set menu for £30 . The menu we were offered provided none of these options. With a bill of over £500 including 3 children’s meals and 9 adult meals minus1 as my vegetarian son was initially offered no main meal. Then after some discussion roasted celeriac which when it arrived was uncooked , tiny and missing any accompaniments apart from a very little samphire - it should have had pickled walnuts . He was unable to eat it. This was not by any stretch of the imagination a main meal. Also, there were 3 side dishes available to us (as no vegetables included )and one of these was mash and unavailable.All in all It was disappointing and really spoilt our evening . We had read a very good review in The Week. It really isn’t acceptable not to provide any vegetarian options on your main menu when so many people are vegan or vegetarian. Also when referred to online menus we expect them to be available. Nor was any compensation offered to my son. Poor show!!

Great place, we live locally and have been several times. There’s a bar area with limited seating, a main dining room and a side dining room. The food is excellent and broadly well priced, with some pricier options for those who want it. Service isn’t fawning but is friendly and thoughtful. Beer options are fine, pretty standard, and cocktails are very cheap. They’ve been reviewed well by the Guardian and in Good Food lists so pretty full all the time now. Some odd reviews here - someone who didn’t like loud people drinking (spoiler: it’s a pub with locals) and someone who hated tipping 10%. Ignore them. It’s great.

Lovely building and setting but disappointing meal. Watercress soup did not look or taste as expected of cress and vegetables; not a light two toned appearance with flecks of cress, but a pea green puree which was indeed, I think, pea with a meat stock in the background, which I disliked. Two odd shaped gnocchi lurked below. Bread good but not generous. I would have guessed the guinea fowl breast was defrosted, served with interesting though vestigial dots of this and that. Not at all tender or tasty. Sorry to be negative but food did not match the surroundings.

My partner and I recently stayed at the newly refurbished Kirkstyle Inn, and it was absolutely amazing! The decor and overall design of the property is very tasteful, blending modern elegance with rustic charm perfectly. The evening meal was an absolute highlight. We dined with friends and all agreed the food was outstanding. The bar had a fantastic atmosphere, it feels like a really welcoming hub of the community. The attention to detail in the room design made it feel like a really luxury, boutique, romantic escape. We had a brilliant night's sleep in probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The Kirkstyle is a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys a scenic drive. It's 100% worth the journey. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or simply want to indulge in exceptional cuisine, this place is a hidden gem worth discovering.

We holidayed nearby last week and decided to try the Kirkstyle Inn for a Friday lunch, expecting a normal country pub. What we got was an unexpected and truly magnificent dining experience! The place is new, but somehow keeps a rustic feel in keeping with the local countryside, but the food was absolutely magnificent. Really gourmet level stuff both in presentation and taste. Absolutely blown away. This is truly a hidden gem that needs to be found!!! Go there. PS - good drinks too including some of our favourite cocktails.

Food was nice enough, if a little pricey. Bun on the burger was a little stale and the lettuce had brown bits. Could do with a bit more isolation between the main bar and the dining area as the bar is noisy and it is a very different crowd to the diners looking for a fine restaurant meal. Service was fine but asking for a customer to select a tip between 10 and 20% when paying by card in the UK is not appropriate and just anoying, this is not the US servers get paid an appropriate wage. Removing a star just for that.

The 2 male Staff could do with some better customer service and try smiling. Its clear they are geared for food and dont want anyone taking up seating for just drinks, but just rude at making you feel uncomfortable about it. I have a bad back and knees, so cannot stand, but when asked if i could sit down, they only wanted to know if i was eating. We looked at the menu and there was nothing we fancied as quick bite, so asked if it was ok just having a drink. The look told us they did not want us just drinking, (unless standing at bar)even though were happy taking our money first, but reluctantly one of the staff said we could sit down. That was not the end of it, what looked like the owner behind the bar, starting talking about us and pointing to other staff, then bolted over and in an angry way, started clearing the table, with not as much as apology or word, making us feeling very uncomfortable. Manners cost nothing these days, but clear the greedy owner only interested in selling his high priced meals with his drinks and people with disabilities, meaning they cannot stand long, come last. Needless to say, won't be going back to such an ignorant owner, plenty choice of pubs about, who look after their clients.

So all in all this is a lovely country pub that we would recommend and will be going back to often when we're in the area. Edit.

We came across this place after setting off early evening to try to find somewhere to eat that was gluten free, it was 18 miles away from where we were staying but after reading the reviews we thought the drive could be worth it, we were not disappointed. There was an extensive menu available and just about everything on it was available gluten free, the food was superb, the portions generous and everything was cooked fresh, the staff were very friendly. I can`t recommend this place enough, we would definitely go out of our way to visit again in the future.

This was our second visit about a year after the first and it was just as good as I remembered. It's a combination of their range of local Sausages, pub favourite meals and a varied selection of home-cooked specials. From the meals we and others around us we enjoying, the Sausages and specials seemed to be the favourites. The food was good quality, nicely cooked, presented neatly but simply and with generous portions. So generous that we didn't get to enjoy their desserts this time!Views from the front tables out over the valley beyond with newly born lambs playing in the fields made the food taste even better.

Good selection of drinks for a small pub. Food was excellent can't say a bad word, all the girls enjoyed there meals. Plenty of variety for everyone. Would highly recommend this place if your in the area. Thanks for making us so welcome. From the Geordie girls.

We enjoyed a delightful Sunday lunch here whilst staying locally on holiday in July. The food was fresh and homecooked and tasted amazing. The young barmaid was managing to wait on 7-8 tables, run the bar and engage in friendly banter with everyone with ease! Something that is rarely seen down our way in the South. A lovely experience.

Iv been a local for all my life and this is for me one of the best places to eat in the area. How some people have given negative feed back on the food is quite baffling. Very friendly staff, polite and helpful. Its warm and cosy. The food is of high standard, homemade food, good portions and tastes delicious. Highly recommended visiting this inn. Specially for food.

Beautiful pub , I was in a year or so a go and the pool team playing were so funny. There was a man called David who at first appeared very weird but once got speaking he was a very interesting man. Kind and friendly pub which nice food.

The food is great. Service is friendly. The place looks good. So why 3 stars? It’s great if you can get booked. There is no online booking I can find. This time I phoned on Monday to book for Saturday. No answer - answer phone. I left all details but no one got back to me. Phoned Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and no one answered. No point in leaving message when it’s not answered. Not the first time this has happened. On several occasions I have got through there were functions on! Eventually you say “what’s the point?”

Absolutely delightful! Adorable decor, fabulous service, delicious food & tea 😍 Accessible toilet with change table and parent chair. Make it a stop on the Hadrian’s Wall walk, between the Willowford Towers & Poltross Burn Milecastle.
