The Blue Bell Inn in Northumberland

A great traditional style Inn with excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. The bedroom was clean and spacious. Car parking on site.

Several of us packed the Inn, used the facilities several times for our meeting in Coldstream several times a year. Could not wish for more comfort, good food and hospitality. At some events we wish for more accommodation so we double up. Plenty of space and the cottage is exceptional take some of us come up to Crookham with family for Christmas and holidays. A real home from home. Thank you Lauren and Keith.

Went for Sunday lunch. The roast beef was terrible we took it home for the dog. Intimating looking staff. Won’t be back and we’re local.

We came here purely based on previous reviews and were not disappointed. Lovely little pub, friendly atmosphere and the food was fantastic. The steak pie was amazing! We will definitely call again next time we are in the area.

After a lovely visit on a previous family holiday, we decided to book again on our recent holiday…this could not have been more contrasting. The evening started with ants crawling across the table, napkins and cutlery…and didn’t get much better. Under cooked fish, a suspicious smelling burger, incorrect burger order brought out (twice) and a curry that looked like it had been standing whilst our other dishes were being prepped. Clearly not a good day at the office. What was more disappointing was the lack of concern for what a pretty poor experience Not good, not happy.

Fantastic room. Plenty of space. Lovely beds, decent pillows. Shower really hot - like a waterfall. Bliss. Room really warm too. Great. Breakfast all quality fare as was our Sunday roast. The owner was a really pleasant fella too. The bar lady was lovely, professional and efficient. Nothing was a bother. Good location for walks in Coldstream( Hirsel), Wooler ,Duddo Stone Circle etc Cant go wrong. Enjoy.

We didn't have a booking but were welcomed and shown to a table in the bar. We ordered Sunday Roasts. One with Chicken and one with a trio of beef, pork and chicken. Meal was outstanding, service excellent and really good value. We will definitely be back but would book in future as busy which is a great sign.

. . . a must at The Blue Bell as guaranteed a warm welcome for not only us but our spaniel, Pepper! Nothing is too much trouble; our chicken and beef Sunday lunches were delicious, served with extra gravy in a miniature copper pan, with horseradish and cranberry. The owner/chef worked so hard to accommodate those that had booked and others like us who chanced it; thank you, no wonder The Blue Bell is so popular. One of our favourites so we'll be back.

New Year's Day lunch at the Blue Bell. Well cooked food and plenty of it, pleasant helpful staff and a nice atmosphere. No complaints - will definitely go again. Good to have somewhere to go out for lunch on Jan 1st when everything over the border is shut! Oh, and very good chips.

A good find. We were travelling from wooler going north and stayed here. Small bar, does good pub food with a good menu. Rooms are recently refurbished, the breakfast is possibly one of the best full English I have had in years

Lovely, cosy welcoming pub. They accomodated 9 of us with little children and were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We were in the back room which was ideal as the children could play on the floor. The food was excellent, service swift and all with a smile. We will be back for sure.

Spot on service received from the friendly owners and staff - they make you feel very welcome and relaxed. Nothing is too much trouble for them to make your stay a pleasure - thank you!

We have eaten twice at this restaurant. The service is good and friendly. The menu is somewhat limited. Does serve great fish and chips and beef pie. Does some gluten free options. Prices are slightly high for pub grub. Al's Top Tips Thai chicken curry not the best. Home made beef pie should be tried., but is a large portion. The gluten free fish and chips was worth having and cooked beautifully.

We booked the hotel for family and friends to celebrate our wedding. The staff did not disappoint. Very well done to everyone involved during the weekend at the beginning of September. We were all looked after extremely well. The food and drink was absolutely fantastic and of course our special thanks must go to “Sharon the Shark”. With love and thanks to everyone, Sharon and Jason Chandler.

Last minute decision to stop for late lunch / early dinner as the pub looks good from the road. Staff, just the one on front of house at this time was friendly and quick to serve. Two of us had the double burger, one the pulled pork burger and our final member had the scampi. I’d love to say the food was top notch but it wasn’t. The burgers were a little overdone and didn’t seem best quality . It was okay but just that I’m afraid. The specimen photos of the pub food look lovely so perhaps we were unlucky that day. On the plus side the beer was good.

The Blue Bell Inn was in walking distance of our holiday cottage and it was so good we ate there twice. The menu contains a range of British favourites and all our meals were hot, good portion sizes and tasty. Over the two days we ate the roast which was excellent (hubby said the best roasties), ramen, baked haddock and the steak pie which were all excellent. The sticky toffee was also a hit. Great friendly service and super friendly with our doggy who got his own water and treats. If your staying locally or passing through this pub is well worth a visit.

It was a bit busy for dinner but the food we had was nicely cooked. Portion size was good too. Other tables’ dinners looked good too. We settled for mains and dessert. Three courses would have been too much. The room was nicely decorated. Cosy. The bed was comfortable too. The breakfast was great. We’d gone for a cooked English. Came with proper mushrooms and fresh real tomato. The one sausage was high grade. Back bacon and black pudding: thumbs up. The fried eggs’ yolk nicely runny. All you could wish for. Highly recommended… we will return at some point!

We had such a fab meal here. I had crispy chilli beef, Thai chicken curry and profiteroles. My partner had breaded halloumi, chicken and haggis ballotine and sticky toffee pudding. Everything was so good. We both thoroughly enjoyed every course. One of the best pub meals we've had.

We had visited Alnwick and stopped for food on way home. Easy parking, took dogs, welcoming, friendly, clean, great service, really good food… xxx

A very tasty Sunday lunch, lots of high quality food served by helpful, friendly staff. We were 8 people and guide dog and our meals were hot and arrived together. The layout means that people can talk to each other despite the place having quite a few people dining. A lovely experience.

Family meal out to finish our holiday, excellent food and great service. Would definitely visit again if we are in the area. Would have posted a photo but the food disappeared too quickly!

Fitted in for a table despite no reservation and place being busy. Staff explained waiting time and we were happy to sit in bar wait for 30 minutes . Ordered Sunday Roast Beef and Trio of meats . Beef cooked very well and pudding and...

We came for dinner because it was close to where we were staying, but ended up coming back for three nights! Friendly staff, great food with loads of gluten free options for all courses, amazing chips!!!

Scanning the Trip Advisor reviews while on holiday in the local area, we selected the Blue Bell for an evening meal. Busy on arrival (7.00pm) but quickly served and felt welcomed. The Chef's Pie was very nice, and portions were large so couldn't finish it!...

Lovely family meal in The Bluebell, made to feel very welcome and had great service. We had two courses of traditional pub food, which were delicious. No room for pud unfortunately! Thoroughly recommend.

Although The Blue Bell has gluten free and dairy free on the menu, which is really good, there wasn’t a lot of choice for someone needing to avoid both. However, what I did have, fish and chips, was very good, well cooked with fish that...

. . . lovely welcome, nothing being too much trouble. Our cocker spaniel was spoilt with treats and a bowl of water which helped us to relax and enjoy our delicious meals. One of our favourite places to eat. Thank you.

I am coeliac and dairy-free, and had a delicious three course pub meal here. Staff were really helpful with any queries. There is a dedicated gluten-free fryer, the gluten-free dairy-free battered fish is delicious and the chips are perfect!

Lovely restaurant & staff. Service superb, food amazing .. after a starter of bread, oil & olives, I had the pie , my partner had chicken & haggis.. we were very happy. Great choice on the menu too

The Inn did us proud. I was out with friends, a family, for my birthday. A very tricky situation arose owing to the behaviour of a family member. The staff could not have been more patient or understanding, and in the end the situation which...

Visited this lovely pub on a recent visit to the area. The Sunday roast was one of the best I have ever had, excellent quality and good size portion. Made to feel very welcome with our small dog too.

Found this great restaurant at the end of our week in Wooler, and went there for our last two nights. Lovely menu, just a bit different, and reasonable prices for such good food. Between us we had beautiful beef, smoked haddock, Katsu curry and fish...

Very reasonable price for very generous portions and serves the Sunday menu until 8.30 pm. This was our second visit in a few days, as we were impressed with the food and atmosphere.

We came on a Tuesday as part of a coach tour and had a fantastic sandwich and pudding lunch, with friendly and attentive service.. We liked it so we returned on our own on the Sunday to a very different scenario. Not welcome, long time...

We arrived at 2 o’clock without reservations, but got drinks immediately and our food orders were taken within 15 minutes. My roast beef meal was huge and everything I expected. My wife had the vegan roast and declared it delicious. The service was fast, courteous...

We had dinner here based on the reviews and although the food looked amazing,everything that was battered was hard and crunchy and almost inedible. Never had a batter like that before! Almost tooth breaking. The pulled pork burger special was just a small amount of...

We had an excellent stay at the Blue Bell Inn this weekend. We stayed following a wedding nearby. We arrived early evening and we’re shown to our room. It was clean and spacious, nice to have cold water chilling in the fridge ready for us....

Thought we'd try the Bluebell inn it's an absolute gem tucked away in a lovely rural setting. The service was excellent the two different Burgers we ordered were huge and we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

We came across this little gem on our break to Ford. This is a lovely dog friendly place to eat. The staff are so welcoming and accommodating and the food is absolutely delicious, hard pushed to have a starter AND a main, ample portions in...

Stopped here for dinner on the way back to Kelso from a day on Lindisfarne. What a find and such hearty, fantastic pub food. We had burgers and a great steak pie. Staff were so friendly and accommodating as we hadn’t booked. Would highly recommend.

We made a very last minute booking on 15th June for a meal whilst we are away on holiday. We were due to eat at 7.45 but got there early, were seated promptly and the staff were lovely and friendly. We were able to order...

Stayed in the cottage with friends, what can I say, absolutely perfect! Cottage is clean, cosy and has everything you need. We ate in the restaurant and food was amazing! Staff really friendly and helpful, highly recommend!

A perfect stop en route to Edinburgh for a bite to eat and refuel. Lovely surprise to have such vast choice of menu with excellent flavours on a plate. Staff were welcoming and the food was quick. Highly recommend the pork ramen. Spot on!

The Blue Bell has a welcoming atmosphere and provides a high standard, enjoyable meal. The staff are courteous and professional with a very good chef to back them up.

Very nice food. A good broad menu with extra recommended specials. £55 for two for starters, mains and a couple of tasty beers. The service was very helpful and friendly. Very accommodating.

. . . dog friendly, people friendly pub. We enjoyed delicious Sunday roasts with drinks and welcomed by warm, friendly ladies and locals; what a find, so we will return, thank you!

Nasty owner obnoxious - up his own! & clearly doesn’t like cyclists ! How many points? Tut tut Awful greasy 3rd rate food, microwaved veg and terrible bought in puddings. Filthy toilets and kids everywhere screaming’ not a nice place!

Absolutely fantastic food and drink. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back soon!

We had a family 40th birthday meal last night, the staff are great, the meal was good and we stayed over, the bed was comfy, nice room, lovely breakfast this morning. A reasonable price too. Happy to go again.

Stay at the blue bell for two nights last week had a lovely welcome when I arrived from Abbie first night I stayed in room one which was a really nice room even tho it is only small second night I stayed in room four...

We have visited a couple of times, the exterior of the building is absolutely stunning but the interior although neat doesn't quite suit the style it should represent. The food is something else, very delicious and well presented. We had a Sunday Roast and I'm...

We live close to this restaurant and every time we have been have thoroughly enjoyed the food. Today I had the tempura prawns which were massive then the Cajun chicken burger, full of taste. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is good.

We’ve stayed here a number of times and would do so again but on this occasion the food in the restaurant was not great. Breakfast cooked by the manager was very good however. Only other niggle was that in room 2 you couldn’t switch the...

The meal was absolutely delicious. The only drawback is that I wish George Michael's 'Faith' was played a few more times. What a song!

We ate here as a family last night. Really nice food, great service, lots of gluten free options (which we needed), generous portions and dog friendly. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you!

Wednesday 25 August 2021, in the early evening my husband and I drove to the village of Crookham to go to dinner at ‘The Blue Bell Inn’. The Blue Bell Inn had been a coaching inn for many years and my husband and I received...

I booked a room for 1 night on arrival I was greeted by a lovely young man who was helpful and pointed us to the cottage. Upon entry greeted with what I will only describe as a dump.. everything worn out.. Went to check bedroom...

Called here without a booking & they fit us in .... ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!! We both had steak, cooked to perfection & really tender & tasty. To finish i had a lovely cheeseboard & my husband had the lemon cheesecake sundae. I tasted his desert...

I would have given 5 stars if it was not for the poor food we had.The bar staff extremely experienced and polite and friendly.But on our day of eating at the Blue Bell , The food was poor I had chef’s pie (This was like a chicken korma in a bowl with a puff pastry lid that was just sat on top and the fried vegetables were hard and over cooked, the soup was not the best as well)So sorry to the bar staff you deserve a 5 but chef needs more experience.

We ate at The Blue Bell Inn as we were staying overnight. The inn located on a fast busy road but it is worth the effort of getting there. Prior to visiting we had a call asking if we required a table for one or both of our evening stays. The food was lovely, we all really enjoyed our choices. The service was excellent and I'd recommend The Blue Bell.

We had difficulty managing to book a table at this pub until we visited in person. The staff at the pub (Abbie and Anthony) who are brother and sister do a stunning job and make you feel welcome. It was Anthony who kindly booked us in for a meal. We had been told over the telephone that there was no availability. When we did eat here the food was quite average and we had a Terrine starter and a soup starter. Quite expensive really for an average starter. The main meal was a pie which was called Chef's special pie. It was a chicken Korma with a puff pastry lid on!The usual chef who had short grey hair was not on duty when we visited so maybe that's why the food wasn't everything that is being said on here!I have to say that the food didn't make this pub for us it was Abbie and Anthony who really do look after customers. The regulars were also very friendly towards us too.

We haven't been here for a long time and now it's under new hands decided to give it a go. It was so good we went twice in 2 weeks and are booked to go again. First time we went with 2 friends (1 who is a really good chef). A very good menu and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented and absolutely delicious. So much so that though we were fit to burst we just had to have a desert and polish that off too. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Outside appearances can be deceptive, a warm welcome and attentive staff made this a meal to remember. 2 couples with 3 children. All were well looked after. To start I had the Haggis croquettes, incedibmy tasty and the richness counteracted with a simple creme freiche sauce. Excellent presentation see pictures. The absolute highlight was the steak. I've eaten a lot of steak around the world over the years, and usually don't order a steak when out because they're a disappointment, however this couldn't be further from the truth with this one. Absolutely incredible, the tastiest and most well cooked steak I've ever eaten. Proper crust on the outside however mouth melting on the inside, perfection. So much so I personally thanked the chef. It was mind blowingly good and never expected it from this establishment. My wife's Seabass was Marvelous too, lots of samphire and incredible flavours. Presented impeccably. Staff were all lovely and friendly and nothing was too much for them. Ignore the review about the roast dinner below. One of our party had the pork and it was very good, huge Yorkshire puddings. Yes the accompaniments are slightly different, however they absolutely surpass the over boiled crap that usually comes with a pub roast dinner. Sure that's the quality the family below were maybe expecting. Overall an absolutely stunning meal. We would highly recommend this gem of a pub and if at any time we are back in Northumberland I'll be back for more ribeye steak. I'm still talking about it 2 days later. Prices also very reasonable too. Meal for 4 adults and 3 children came to £200 including a well deserved tip. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

On a Tuesday night whilst in Berwick we were looking for a family friendly pub that served great food. Trip advisor turned on and found this belter of a pub 10 miles away apparently worth the drive.We were not disappointed. The external appearance was not impressive but a warm welcome put us at ease.The pretty grotty looking laminated menus arrived and we started to get nervous again. However when we read the menu we found a great choice and were not disappointed I had haggis Bon bons which were sublime, the boss had game terrine, equally good. For mains it was the pork belly and the cod with a pea risotto both stunning and well presented.Well kept ale and acceptable wine with very attentive polite service meant a pleasant dinner.Thank you, Call in if passing or close by

Have to say we had a meal last night and it was gorgeous. The inn looked a bit ropey from the outside with old motors and junk but honestly my hubby had the Sunday roast and Chocolate mousse and I had belly pork and cheesecake and we both said it was faultless - tasty, well presented and good service. Staff were lovely and brought the dog a bowl of water - can't wait to go back!!

I am not one for leaving reviews but felt the need to do so for the Bluebell. Five of us ate here last week and four of the five rated it as the best restaurant meal they had eaten for some time, and we eat out quite regularly. Great service and friendly staff. If you are a meat eater try the Belly Pork.

A superb choice for visiting Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne and exploring the Scottish Borders. Super friendly knowledgable staff and superbly cooked locally sourced food, great beer too. Our room was spacious and super clean.

Had a fabulous dinner at the Blue Bell recently. Not only was the food terrific, the service was outstanding. First we were able to change the reservation at the last minute. Second, the table service was great. Third, they showed a lot of attention to detail with the chef coming to the table to talk about my wife's order in light of her many food allergies. They were flexible on changing the side dishes for her to meet her needs. Great stuff! Very nice people! Give them your business!

My meal order of Pork loins was extremely small in size and was just about big enough to feed a small child, the meat portion was about 2 inch square and about an inch and a half high , the potato was similar in size . The waitress was quite offhand when I mentioned about the meal size , I wouldnt recommend the restaurant and do not write reviews very often, but I would recommend the Red Lion in Milfield as excellent in food and service.

We stayed for four nights as part of our first visit to the borders. It's a very good hotel. The rooms are clean and tidy and the included breakfast is very good with plenty of choice.. We also had our evening meals there and, again, were very pleased with the food.The proprietors and staff are very friendly and helpful.

We haven’t been out to eat for nearly a year and boy I’m so glad we visited The Blue Bell for my birthday.The three courses we had each were the best we have had for a very long time if not ever!!!!! The service as in previous reviews was fantastic, Claridge’s eat your heart out!!!Thank you to all the Staff ( Jackie, Abi, Anthony, Claudio and Steve). First Class!!!!!!

Just left the Blue Bell on the penultimate night of our weeks holiday. Have to say that for me to write a review the experience has to be really good or really bad. The last review I gave was really bad. The owner replied to have a go at me about not supporting local businesses. I told him why I did it and long story short he invited me to have meal with him and explain a few of my thoughts .The Blue Bell was a very good experience. Claridges level staff the stand out feature. So professional non over bearing happy people . Superb. As I only usually have fish and chips at restaurants I have to say these were top notch, good size fish, lovely chips , perfect. Best I've had for a long time. Certainly the best in our Northumberland experience. My wife is a 100% vegan and although there was only the one thing available she thoroughly enjoyed it. So thanks to the staff and chefs, the boss should be proud.

Fantastic service and excellent food. We booked only 1/2hr before and they managed to fit us in. We were made to feel so welcome and our drinks arrived promptly. Whilst the menu is not huge (always reassuring) there were lots of choice for our party of 5. The food arrived and was clearly freshly cooked and piping hot! We would all happily eat everything on the menu.

Our firs visit to The Blue Bell Inn and were not in nayway dissapointed. Lovely Sunday Roast with excellent starters - can highy recommend the Haggis Bon Bons. Overall well priced and service was efficient and friendly

Well what can I say. We have had some fantastic meals this week on our holiday. There was not much off the mains menu we didn’t try. Inc Sunday roast. Cod on pea risotto fish and chips. Beetroot tarte tatin. Lemon and herb poached chicken. That’s without my husbands great cheesecakes. Then our night stop over was brilliant. Thanks again. All staff really friendly and very helpful. All the social distancing and hand sanitizer at hand.

We had a fantastic relaxing stay at the Blue Bell, made possible by the owner Keith and his team.This Coaching Inn is perfectly located as a base to tour Northumberland, is easily accessible and adequate free parking. It is Covid "safe", with all guidelines followed sensibly without being intrusive.We stayed for 3 nights, and couldn't fault the comfort & cleanliness of our room. The breakfast was amazing, freshly cooked to order and set us up for the day (see photo for evidence!!!).We would thoroughly recommend the Blue Bell for anyone wanting friendly, comfortable, clean and safe accommodation in Northumberland.

We have just eaten at the Blue Bell Inn and all four of us were extremely impressed with the quality of our food and the friendliness of the staff. We each chose a different meal and non of us wished we’d had anyone else’s, they were all ‘that’ good.If we are ever in this neck of the woods again, we wouldn’t hesitate to return.Thank you so much for a lovely and relaxing meal.P.S. The homemade horseradish was divine.

Came across The Blue Bell quite by chance, just passing by at lunch time and looking for somewhere to eat. So good I would recommend coming looking for it.

We stayed for 1 night and when we arrived by the front door there was full hand washing station complete with soap and paper towels, upon entering the pub we were meet by the owner Keith and his wife and given our room details and a full guided tour of the pub and bar and explanation of the current guidelines they had in place for the Covid 19 restrictions.We went up to our room which was very clean and well decorated with all the facilities we needed to freshen up, we had dinner at the pub and the food was outstanding (we can highly recommend the steak) with a lovely bottle of wine which we finished off having a chat with keith and one of the locals, which was a lovely way to end the evening.We had the kippers for breakfast and again they were amazing with lots of fresh coffee, orange juice and toast served by kieth who was an excellent host throughout our entire stay and we would recommend the The Blue Bell if you are looking for a lovely place to stay or eat in Northumberland.

The food here is absolutely great. This was the best battered fish I have ever had, the peas were fresh and the chips fluffy and thick. The pub is quite big so it's good during COVID19. The main part of the pub looks nice, but I was put in a kind of 80s-carpeted annex so I didn't want to stay too long. The staff were great and everyone was very friendly.

Stayed here for two nights recently and had a lovely stay. Very pleasant helpful friendly staff. Made a very welcome. I would recommend eating in, food was cooked on the premises and very good value.

Fantastic food, so good we went two nights running! Staff are very friendly and it’s all COVID safe.

Restricted menu unfortunately but food really good!!! Service exceptional extremely Covid safe. Felt really comfortable and safe.

Arrived in Northumberland on Friday for a week's holiday and we booked here for our first meal out.All precautions are taken for Covid from the moment you step in the door.Very friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.But to the main event.....the food!What can I say? It was sublime. Tasty, plenty of it and beautifully presented.I had marinated chicken skewers as my main and my husband and friends had steak and ale pie, pave salmon and chicken skewers. We all commented on how delicious each of our meals were and the clean plates bore testament to that.Our lovely waitress said the chef was new , only been there a week. Well he won't be going anywhere soon producing fantastic food like that.We are only in this wonderful part of the world for a week, but we will be back.

First visit out since Covid. And we chose to come here. Out in the sticks. The host was superb and wore a mask at all times. With hand wash and sanitizer available at the door. Tables spread out enough to feel far enough from other visitors. Food was very nice. Not top Level. But to a standard which you would expect from a country pub, and served hot. Very reasonable price, two courses and drinks for a couple just over £40.

Excellent location. Friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Brilliant breakfast both days. Perfect location to access the best of the Northumbria coast.The ONLY negative was that the accommodation has lost it's sparkle. Everything you need was there and very clean but looking slightly tired and dated.I'm sure, given their efforts in every other area, this will be on the list of the management's "to do's".

Extremely well-kept ale and tasty satisfying cooking along with a wamly welcoming atmosphere is what I found at The Blue Bell Inn. The pub is managing all the post-covid social distancing and hygiene requirements in a exemplary way and still managing to have a corker of a pub for everyoine to enjoy. This inn is an anchor for its local community and also welcomes all sorts of visitors in its stride. And did I mention the food? A tempting menu, reasonably priced and attraxctively presented on the plate. Could go back time after time.

Lovely country pub - great service from pleasant staff .. Covid regs in place - but made to feel really comfortable. The food - 2 Sunday lunches were fabulous . My lamb just fell apart and the veg was done to perfection.Couldnt fault it . Definitely worth a visit.

Good attention to social distancing measures. Lovely pub food & friendly staff. Fully booked for our preferred times but they responded quickly via email to help us find an alternative. 2 hour cover time was plenty

Decided on a 2 day break at short notice to visit the Berwick upon Tweed area and selected The Blue Bell Inn as it was priced well and had good reviews, we were not disappointed . It is a lovely old building which sits just off the main road. We stayed in room 4 which was quite small but very comfortable. There is everything you need in there for a short break. The shower was great with superb water pressure. We stayed b&b but also dined at the restaurant both nights. The food was very nice but beware of the full English breakfast, it's huge ! Found the staff pleasant and helpful and enjoyed our little break.

We stayed here for two nights. The full English breakfast was the most substantial I've ever had. The evening meals were very well cooked and there is plenty of choice.

We visit regularly to this beautiful establishment. The reason why.... The food is absolutely amazing, the service can't be beaten and the whole dining experience is unbeatable. Every meal is cooked to perfection, from fish & chips, steaks, Sunday dinners. We can not recommend this beautiful country pub highly enough. Thank You
