Milecastle Inn in Northumberland

We chose Milecastle Inn as a place to hold a family event. It was the perfect place to choose! The pub room was incredibly cosy and the staff could not have been more welcoming. They created a special place for just us which worked incredibly well. The buffet which they provided was very good value for money and extremely tasty. We recommend the pub, staff, atmosphere and food 💯. Thank you everyone at the Milecastle Inn for making our day so special!

Accommodation was great, everything you need, cooker microwave etc…. But didn’t need … had meals in the adjoining pub every day… excellent food especially the pies…. Excellent friendly staff as well. Will definitely be back

Family (3 months to 66 years) visit whilst staying at nearby Herding Hill Farm. Excellent food and excellent beer from Twice Brewed brewery. Amongst us we had halloumi starter; mains of steak, pie and burger and all were excellent. Quite expensive, but worth it.

Visited on a very cold and wet day. Great food. Made to feel very welcome and loved the log fire. Everything you want from a pub.

A lovely country pub with friendly staff that are very helpful. I didn't feel that hungry so they upgraded the kids meal for me. Food is lovely but can be expensive.

Stopped here for a couple of drinks and something to eat whilst on a walk round Hadrian’s Wall. Gorgeous views, ordered a few starters to share - halloumi fries, salt and pepper chicken, potato skins and pate. All lovely. Friendly service. Enjoyable visit.

Beautiful gastropub with good food. Friendly service. Great location with a wonderful view. Large parking space. Had dinner there twice during our short stay in Haltwhistle.

Excellent food and service. I have eaten here three times recently and have enjoyed every visit. It is my destination of choice in the area! The inn is well maintained with glorious views of Hadrian’s Wall. There is a convenient bus stop near by for travellers using that means for visiting various points along the wall. I will be calling there regularly because of the consistently excellent food, beer and service and because dogs are not allowed in the building. Vegetarian and vegan options are on the menu.

We were staying at the Bridge House a couple hundred yards of way, so we ate here twice and enjoyed both meals very much. The menu is small, but broad in its selection and the food is top notch. The place is very cozy, and the staff is warm and helpful. I was boring and had a hamburger the first night, but it was a great burger, as was the fish & chips I had the next night. The deserts were excellent. Of the two IPAs I had, I preferred the Prince Bishop, but the Sunny Days was good too.

Great spot, nice garden overlooking Hadrians Wall milecastle. Wonderful food & beer. Friendly staff. Two visits in less than 24 hours. Would be many more, if I didn’t live 300 miles away!

Booked Sunday Lunch for 12.00. The staff kindly let us in early and sat us by the fire. The full beef lunch is £17.95 but worth every penny as it is massive. We can honestly say it is one of the best we have ever had. Thanks to the girls for the prompt service and looking after us. Highly recommended.

On a grey February Wednesday lunchtime, this remote pub was doing a healthy trade. Deservedly so, given the welcoming open fire, cosy rooms, excellent happy staff, no music, choice of real ales and good food. So nice to come across a pub on such good form, proudly family run.

Would highly recommend this cosy little pub restaurant. We were staying up the hill and ventured down with our little one for some food. We called ahead to book and check it was ok for a high chair for our one year old. They were so accommodating and made us feel so welcome. It was really cosy with the fire and we had plenty of space with the toddler too! The food was so delicious, looking at the photos before definitely does not do it justice. Our toddler ate a whole portion of the soup too as it was so good - so toddler approved too!

We visited this little pub a few times for dinner whilst staying at Hadrian's Wall campsite only a mile away. Despite stormy weather it was an amusing yet exhilarating walk along a VERY Roman road to get to this place. The pub is small but very cosy with open fires. As we were here over the Winter Solstice it felt very festive with the fires lit. The staff were very friendly and the decor of the little rooms was pleasant with a table with the Sycamore (now sadly felled) at Sycamore Gap printed on it. There was a statue of a Roman Soldier standing on a window ledge. We ate here twice and the food was homemade, reasonably priced, hot and delicious...hand cut chips!! I had the salmon one night on a bed of crushed potatoes and it was a simply excellent meal. Really impressed with the food, service, atmosphere, and the location cannot be beaten. We will be back, although I can imagine it gets horrendously busy in Summer.

Popped in here for a quick pint after a good walk on the Wall - midweek, late afternoon in Feb. Good friendly service, nice real ale, lovely cosy pub, well furnished and 2 brilliant real fires which were most welcome after a cold walk with a bit of rain at the end. Have been here before and will definitely return

Visited last May and so happy to see the service and food have not changed it was top notch and Mandy was fantastic, best service ever

Two great cask ales - lovely. Friendly welcome. Stopped by after a short walk along the wall. Didn’t try the food (which looked excellent). The beer and open wood fire, though, were so worth the detour,

Lovely cosy country pub. Food and service was fantastic. This place is a gem, well wirth our 40 min drive.

Booking recommended. Food was excellent. Waygu burger (from specials menu) very good. Definitely recommend the onion rings. Family friendly.

Get in early popular place. Freshly cooked food good children's menu Staff always smiling what's not to like. Will definitely visit again

Really nice cosy pub serving great quality food at sensible prices. Log fires, a great selection of beers and wines, with friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended.

Great ambience and the food was delicious. Had the salmon and greens. Beautifully cooked and great g/f option. Service was good and the pricing reasonable.

Went in on a busy Sunday evening. The place had a nice buzz. It had nice traditional pub food, good flavours and presentation. It was an easy walk to Herding Hill farm. Staff ehere polite and friendly.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere. Fantastic location, stopped off for food. Food was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful!

After a 4 mile hike along Hadrian’s Wall this was a real treasure! Warm, smiling welcome into this pretty little pub. We had two dishes from the Specials board and they were both absolutely delicious (steak & kidney pie and minted lamb burger with halloumi). We love this part of the country so will definitely find ourselves back here at some time. 10/10 thank you

£8 for 2 cokes unbelievable I'm local to area and not one place I've visited before has ever charged this totally cashing in on tourist trade!

Fab food with stunning views. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and a great place to stop if you are out for a walk.

Lovely traditional pub. Good sized portions. Nice for children, kind and welcoming. Two tasty real ales on tap.

The pub is by the main road but in spectacular scenery that makes it feel very remote. We arrived for Sunday lunch without booking but waited half an hour in the sunny beer garden and the friendly hosts found us a table. It was SOOOOO...

lovely pub but one or two areas that could be improved in the food department,crumble was lumpy and not nice at all, we did tell he waitress and we were not charged. Sea Bass was tasty but potatoes and veg were tasteless. Steak was perfect,...

Lovely staff, great food and bargain wines - cosy pub in a wild and beautiful landscape. Definitely recommend!

Just popped in for a drink after walking to Hadrian's Wall and needing a break before heading back. Good beer on tap, and pleasant gardens outside to take in the views!

Great pub, great beer and the menu and food were really nice and quickly served. A very welcome end to a full day of walking.

A family run pub Good quality beer Very popular so make sure you book if you want to eat in Good menu with a wide choice of food. Food is freshly prepared and is of good quality Recommended

We had a dinner and a lunch there and both were absolutely excellent. The lady owner and her staff couldn't do enough to make us comfortable and her daughter the Chef cooked extremely well, Do visit if you get that way!

Reasonable ale selection. Nice ambiance. The menu looked good and the food smelled great, but sadly, during two hours of waiting on a quiet Tuesday night, we were never seated or offered food. Admittedly, we didn’t have reservations, but empty tables sat there for our...

Called in after cutting my right shin while at the Steel Rigg car park. The owners quickly addressed my injury, providing an ice pack, then surgical dressing. We then had a delicious lunch of prawn sandwiches and coffee. A lovely warm log fire was keeping...

Called in after a walking along Hadrian’s Wall. Lovely staff, good food (game pie was delicious) and a great draught cider. Warm and welcoming pub with an open fire in both rooms. Drop in if you’re in the area, you won’t be disappointed

Did the Hadrians walk from Newcastle to Mile Castle Inn. Arrived just after the kitchen closed but the team at Mile Castle Inn had prepared food for us to eat there or take away. Pub was so welcoming. Amazing staff. Good food, beautiful fire place....

My wife and I visited this Inn spontaneously on one evening and were absolutely stunned! Really cosy interior that isn't trying too hard, or one that is overly complicated. Everything is clean, neat and comfortable. Many tables have stunning views of the Northumbrian countryside and...

Rudest bar staff, no idea what the food was like, did not hang around to try. Basically after a long walk from Haltwhistle along the beck, with family and dogs, we found the pub on Google maps, and thought we would have a drink and...

Absolutely fabulous meal. Husband highly recommends the lamb pie. Big portions. Staff friendly. Real fires. All in all a perfect evening.

Really good, home-cooked food in a cosy and welcoming pub, what more could you ask? The home-made steak and kidney pie was simply amazing - succulent steak, and a lot of it, in a light pastry was excellent. And the only thing wrong with the...

We dined here 3 times while staying at nearby Herding Hill. Great pub food with huge portions. All the food we had was excellent. Save room for the lovely desserts - chocolate orange cake and sticky toffee pudding are delicious. It’s a traditional pub with...

Very friendly pub, warm welcome and great food. Plenty of local ales on tap too! Good value food and a good selection, also a children’s menu.

Brilliant pub. Ultra friendly staff. Great beer their own special larger or ale both as good. Nice character and really good pub food. Just near herding hill touring and lodge site. We went 3/4 times in September and are going back in March as it...

After a very good walk along the wall in beautiful heavy frost and clear skies, my friend and I stopped off here for a pint in front of a real fire, before driving back to Newcastle. A good choice of beers - I opted for...

We visited for lunch on my wifes birthday having been recommended by a local. We certainly were not disappointed. The menu choice was really good, and we finally made our selection. When it came the food was absolutely delicious. It was well cooked, home made,...

New owner was very welcoming and chatty. Service and food excellent with a good range to cater for all types of diners. Ideally situated for walkers of the Wall. Highly recommend.

Fabulous overnight stay in one of the cottages. Immaculate and everything you could want including a welcome pack of ‘goodies’. Had a meal in the pub and it was excellent. Couldn’t fault anything and the location was amazing.

Great portion sizes , delicious food which came quickly service very good with friendly staff . Enjoyed our evening meal here

Myself and my two brothers had a very enjoyable evening at the Milecastle Inn. In particular, I ordered the gluten free battered fish and chips, with home made tartare sauce, absolutely delicious. The service was a little slow, but as they were busy it didn't...

It was my first visit to The Milecastle since its recent change in ownership. It has long been a favourite place of mine when visiting this area & I was a little concerned as to what I would find. I am delighted to report that...

Had a brilliant meal, chips were outstanding. After a long walk it was so nice to admire the views. Staff as always brilliant

A very warm welcome in this very friendly cozy pub. Lovely food and great views . Excellent value for money and well recommended .

We walked here from the nearby campsite to have dinner for our 19th wedding anniversary, and it was well worth the walk! My wife had the vegan burger, and was pleased that she could have it in a gluten free roll. The waitress kindly pointed...

Great pub, great staff, friendly people, excellent beer, it really is good food. Lovely views . Really open country .

We called in at the Milecastle Inn after a walk on Hadrian’s Wall, which coincidentally turned out to be the opening night of the new owners taking over I believe. We had never been before, but would certainly go again. The service was excellent, very...

We had a fabulous meal at the Milecastle. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and the beers and wines were all very good too. The pub is smaller than many in the area and this lends itself to a personal touch and we...

We thought we would try the Milecastle for a meal on a Saturday evening and as we both travel extensively with work we visit a tremendous amount of places to eat the Milecastle is simply the best food and hospitality we have ever experienced the...

Thought twice about reviewing because really this is the kind of gem you want to find by chance on a walk when hungry and thirsty, which is what we were. Beautiful setting for sitting outside on a warm day, friendly welcome, good food. Would highly...

My wife and I were staying locally and discovered this gem of pub. Really great hand pull beer (prince bishop) and a very nice menu. We went old school with prawn cocktail (very yummy) and then home made pie which was excellent followed by STP...

Went for a meal while staying at Hadrian's Wall Campsite. Excellent meal, lovely friendly staff, and very quick service. Will definitely go again and would recommend to family and friends. Booking is wise as very busy.

We came here 2 consecutive evenings and enjoyed the meals we ate, especially the lamb. The Inn was very busy the first evening, but less so the second evening. It is very easy to find. We were given a warm welcome. Advisable to book in...

After a day hiking along Hadrian’s wall we were looking for a cosy place to have our dinner. We are happy with our choice! Scott was superkind. We had one of the specials (pork) and the sirloin steak. The specials in particular were local receipts...

Just good food cooked well in a nice atmosphere that is competitively priced and a short walk from our accommodation. Looking for somewhere for dinner then this is a good choice and worked for us for two night.

Stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. This place was lively and had friendly and energetic service. Food was fresh and delicious. The sticky toffee pudding here was my favorite dessert of our entire trip!

Quaint little pub, in the middle of nowhere. Only sampled the drinks here, but the food look palatable too

Visited Hadrian's Wall whilst walking with the dogs, stumbled across the Milecastle Inn. We planned to sit in the beer garden but wanted to call into the pub to choose drinks & food but upon waking through the door was immediately shot down with a...

Had a lovely veg meal here sitting outside in the beer garden. Great sticky toffee pud! Both waitresses were very helpful and friendly.

We visited after a day walking, food was delicious, pork belly so tasty, lovely pub, comfy, friendly and staff made us feel welcome. Thank you so much,, keep up lovley work 😊

Just across the road from Hadrian's Wall, like all the eateries in the area you MUST book a table or you just won't get in. We had a table booked but on arrival discovered that we couldn't take the dogs inside. No matter. There's a...

A fantastic family atmosphere traditional country pub Good beer. Lovely home cooked food Fantastic friendly welcome Highly recommended

Auch beim zweiten Besuch hier (mit Abstand von 4 Jahren) nicht enttäuscht: Gutes Essen und nette Bedienung an interessantem Ort.

We had two evening meals here this week whilst staying in the area. Food lovely and service great. Pub is traditional and cosy - a hidden gem. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Enjoyed a three course meal here recently and it was delicious plus reasonably priced, nice atmosphere with friendly efficient staff. Definitely worth a visit ... or two!!

What a super little simple pub this is. It is so much better inside than it looks from outside. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the pies are to die for...proper home-made and the best pub pies we have had!

Lots of choice on the menu, home cooked food and good portions sizes. Nice friendly pub and the beer is great try the Prince Bishop.

The food was excellent. The 4 of us had different meals over 3 nights and all were top notch. Good value and excellent, friendly service from the staff who happily accommodated our various vegetable requests. The beer was excellent and really well kept. The pub...

First visit to this busy country pub on Hadrians Wall. Glad we booked a table. Cozy atmosphere, fab Sunday lunch, quick friendly service, we’ll be back.

We fell upon this place it was a bit out of tbe way but I visited it as I was interested in buying the place so decided to pop in and have a look lovely little country put in Northumberland bog car part when arrived...

Visited while on holiday nearby, return visit as we had been a few years before. Great food, decent prices and lovely friendly staff. We'll be back next time we're up that way.

Service was great. Food was amazing. Price spot on. After a day touring alo6ne Hadrians Wall it was great to walk into this cozy warm pub and be greeted with smiles. A nice variety menu especially for a vegi or vegan. Left feeling full and...

We had a lovely evening meal here during our overnight stay at Bridge House B&B, there were vegan options and I had the Vegan Cottage Pie which was on the specials board and it was delicious. Very cosy and welcoming pub!

Gorgeous cottage fully equipped, clean tidy with amazing views. Hosts were wonderful,friendly and welcoming. Staff were all lovely and helpful a credit to the milestone inn. Nice food and real ale a perfect combination. We would certainly recommend this establishment either for a meal and...

Visited Hadrian’s wall stopped here for refreshments, 2xJ2Os and 3 pints of lemonade with cordial when I wanted fresh orange and it was £15.80 which is extortionate for those drinks. Wouldn’t visit again

Plenty of seating outside. Met up with some friends. We both had dogs. Good service, food served quickly, reasonably priced. Good covid friendly system for order food and drinks (a wireless bell on each table ). Staff excellent. A short walk from Hadrian’s Wall and...

We were staying at nearby Glamping pods and this pub was within walking distance so seemed like a good choice as the reviews are really good however after eating here, I have no idea who has given such positive reviews as the food is pretty...

Okay so all reviews are subjective but this place smacks of 1980s mediocrity and the rave reviews seem inappropriate to me. The menu is uninspiring and the quality mediocre - large portions and dullness doesn't make up for this. £7.95 for (frozen) prawn spring rolls...

We ate at the Milecastle Inn whilst staying at Bridge House nearby. We were promptly seated and had a lovely waitress explain the options. The meal was good value and a good size. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and were not hurried in anyway, being...

We hadn't booked but we're given a table in the snug. The lunch menu was limited, the food on offer seemed to be circa 1975. When the food arrived it was slightly disappointing. The panini was ok, the small salad had no dressing and strangely...

We were on holiday in the area and looking for somewhere to eat so booked in on the off chance , we were really pleased - in fact we enjoyed it so much we then booked again .... on purpose!! The staff were so friendly...

Excellent. Not your usual chain fair. Specials board. Lovely starters and desserts. Cask ales. Warm welcome. Bear garden and marquee. ( Probably best to phone and book.

We had Beef & Chicken Sunday Lunch today & it's the Best around & all served with a smile & very pleasant. Definitely recommend if your in the area you'll not be disappointed. Thank you all.
