The Niblick in Northumberland

I will start with an overview of our group purely because I would like the staff/management & any other diners there on the day to remember us. A group of 19 old Harley Davidson riding friends visited The Niblick on July 7th. Our average age is over 60 and we have been friends for several decades. We had travelled for our annual meetup & a ride around beautiful Northumberland and we had booked here for Sunday lunch. The food and service was fine and no complaints there. However it all went wrong when it came to taking payment. Because we are all such old friends, we just divided the bill between us all and it came to £18 per person/£36 per couple. Most restaurants would have walked down the table with a card machine & took all necessary payments and kept track of everything, however they insisted that we all go up one by one to pay, which we did. One couple paid cash which caused a little confusion to the lady taking payments, because she had initially assumed it was going to be a card payment and she had to cancel the transaction and start again. Once everyone had paid the waitress said there was an underpayment of exactually £36. We all knew that this was not possible and that we had all paid our money & had proof on our banking apps and we had witnessed the cash being paid. We asked her to check the till, but she said this was not possible and it could not be done until the evening. Because we are not the sort of group that like a fuss or commotion one of us agreed to pay the extra £36 and the restaurant assured us that they would ring us the next day and arrange us a refund. They never rang us. After a week we had still not heard anything, so we wrote to the manager of the restaurant asking for an explanation and our refund. We again heard nothing. Hence my review. Dear Manager, did your staff pocket the extra £36 (as well as the £40 tip) that day or did you just get to keep it yourself? To future group booking customers, please keep a track of your payments because the restaurant/management clearly cannot!

We have previously had several good meals in the bar. Based on a number of recommendations we decided to give Sunday lunch a spin with a family group. Sunday lunch is served in the upstairs function room - which is a bit lacking in atmosphere - but it does have views of the practice range. We did notice a couple of large groups ahead of us (12 and 10 people) but we were sat efficiently and our drinks order was taken swiftly - with the server saying they could take our food order too if we knew what we wanted. Nothing fancy it's a choice of 4 roasts (beef, pork, lamb, chicken) or a mixed meat option. We ordered, drinks arrived and we chatted about all sorts of stuff ... eventually we began to wonder where the food was ... the large groups had been served ... then a table that arrived after us, then another ... we enquired ... they checked ... at the hour mark since ordering we asked more forcefully and it turned out that somewhere between server and kitchen the order had been lost. No offer of another round of drinks while we sort it - or really an apology. 90 minutes after we sat down the food arrived. The eldest member of our party declared her food "Clay cald" ... one of the group had a 5 hour drive ahead of them that we were now delaying. Anyway - three of us ate our food - then we left. Pleased to say there was zero resistance when I said that I wasnt expecting to be paying for the experience.

Although the cafe & staff are exceptional I found there wasn't enough on the menu to choose from.. Only 3 sandwich choices & 3 salads...there are a lot of deserts to choose from but we wanted a savoury lunch... I opted for the prochuto & mortadela ( I've probably butchered the spelling !?) sandwich & although it was very nice I thought it was rather small for the £ 8.95 cost ? It had a very small portion of side salad but must admit I was hungry again within half an hour.. This venue is OK for a cake & coffee break, but not if you want something more substantial....

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. There was a party of 10 went today for Sunday lunch and everything was tiptop. Thank you

Visited for family reunion 14 in group, had best Sunday roast ever, meal and service was outstanding staff very friendly couldn't fault anything. Would definitely recommend and will be going back soon for another lovely meal.

Went with family today for lunch and can honestly say it was one of the best meals I've had for a long time. Portions are huge, service were great, staff lovely and helpful. Can say it's the first time I've even been out with family where no-one complained about their food. Can highly recommend this place, one of the best places to eat in Morpeth and reasonably priced as well. Well definitely be making a return visit soon.

We had a fantastic lunch at Morpeth Golf Club today. The variety on the menu is amazing, we ended up going for 2 of the specials. The best Sweet & Sour Chicken I’ve ever had! We also had a chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding, both delicious but again, the sticky toffee pudding was the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had my fair share!) big portions, and I’m ashamed to say we cleared the lot 🤣 too good to waste! Will also catered for my daughters first birthday party when we hired the golf club function room and the food was outstanding, everyone was talking about it. He’s the best! All of the staff are lovely too, friendly, professional and provide brilliant service. You guys have got it right! Morpeths hidden gem. We’ll be back soon 😊

Best Sunday Lunch we have had for years - and we do keep trying!! Clocked what other people were having starter wise - very nicely presented. The main comes with lovely gravy, beautifully cooked meat and veg AND they do a small sunday lunch for people like me who just can't do the big portions anymore. Husband had an apple and gooseberry crumble - presented very cleverley and not just a heap in a bowl. We will be back again and again - next time with friends I think.

Tried Sunday lunch yesterday for the first time. Will definitely recommend & be back. Generous portion sizes and great gluten free gravy & Yorkshire’s. Lovely staff aswell. 10/10

A Proper Sunday Lunch First time visiting today and not be our last !! Fabulous food and portion size that good leftovers took home for doggie . Staff were super efficient and friendly making our visit FABULOUS 👌

Came for a Sunday Lunch with my mates. Service was fantastic and the food was absolutely flawless. The quality of the food you get for what you pay is unbeatable. Also recommend the desserts. If you are in Morpeth, this is the place to go.

We had a very nice Sunday lunch with some of us having beef and some of us having pork. Both meats were well cooked, the veg was great and the Yorkshire pudding was lovely. The desserts were huge and were extremely nice. Would highly recommend.

I'm know and the most fussiest of customers, and the 1st to complain if something isn't right. Nothing to complain about with Sunday lunch at the Niblick. Delicious home cooked food and plenty of it, a great selection of drinks. Excellent service. Would highly recommend booking a table for a special occasion or simply a relaxed Sunday lunch.

Just had another fantastic Sunday lunch at Morpeth Golf Club. Food and service absolutely exemplary- wonderful tender melt in your mouth meat and superb freshly cooked real vegetables not to mention the giant fresh Yorkshire puddings!

We'd had a few recommendations from friends about how good this place is now for food so thought we'd give if a try. So pleased we did! We were a table of 4 adults and 2 kids and we all finished every bite. Between us we tried the pork, beef and lamb and all were lovely. Great veg and potatoes too. The place is spotlessly clean and lovely and bright. The staff were really friendly.

Came with the family on Friday, food was amazing & service very polite & friendly. Fish & chips were perfect. We’ve rebooked for a Sunday dinner tomorrow… can’t wait! Thanks Will xx

Went here for sunday lunch. Food was lovely. Couldn't complain about that. It's also very reasonably priced. However... none of the staff were wearing masks and they went shy in getting into your personal space, the cutlery was just on the table instead of being...

Enjoyed a fantastic Sunday Lunch here recently. Excellent food and plenty of it! In addition the service was warm and friendly ..... Best Sunday Lunch in Morpeth and great value!

Really nice atmosphere and despite covid they have the bar area organised so you are socially distanced but it doesn’t feel clinical, like some places. Food was fantastic and loads of it, staff really helpful. Will definitely be back soon.

Sunday lunch is a joy to behold in this vibrant friendly atmosphere. The food is of the highest quality and the staff friendly and attentive.
