The Percy Arms in Northumberland

Really well worth a visit. Staff were very good and attentive. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. We chose just main and dessert. Steak for main, mine was slightly chewy but husbands was spot on so must have been the cut. I had ice cream which was delicious and husband had cheese & biscuits so we could share. Perfect evening and perfect wines. Booked in again for tomorrow night as we are staying in the cottage right next door, which is also excellent 🤩

Fabulous food and service today. Best experience since using this restaurant over the last two years.

Superb Christmas lunch from the festive menu. Menu well thought out and Christmas lunch was very tasty, well cooked and nicely presented. Lovely service, warm and welcoming and our four legged friend loved her serving of pigs in blankets for lunch too! Thank you :)

4 of us enjoyed our Sunday lunch. The food was cooked perfectly and numerous vegetables accompanied a good portion of meat. The menu was varied with plenty of starters & main courses to choose from.

Enjoyed a meal here whilst away for a long weekend- lovely food - value for money and great service from the lovely team who went the extra mile. Felt really welcomed and enjoyed the experience. Thank you. I had the venison sausages and my partner had the spinach and falafel burger.

Great pub, friendly staff. decent menu. Food good and tasty.

What a Sunday roast feast! Delicious food and plenty of it. Very friendly service, a blazing wood fire and a lovely dining area. Could not have been better.

This traditional pub has a rural location in the village of Chatton. We travelled around 11 miles each way from our accommodation at Branton and took in a few single track roads, a ford and some of the local wildlife to get there and back. At one point a hare was running down the road in front of us but refused to get off the tarmac onto the grass verge or under a hedge, resulting in us following it for what seemed like a mile or so! Not to be outdone a flock of partridge gave us the same treatment not long afterwards! Nothing would tempt them to leave the road until I almost ran over them and they eventually took flight. Our encounters had us guessing what might be on the menu however as it transpires neither made the list. There was parking at the front of the pub and I discovered later that there were spaces at the rear too. Fortunately we had reserved a table as it was a busy place on arrival, lots of people out for a Sunday bar meal and drinks creating a good ambiance. Slightly away from the hub of the bar we were shown down a passageway towards the rear of the building where there were a couple more areas for dining, full of old English country style furnishings and décor. Fortunately there were plenty of customers in this area too so no shortage of atmosphere. The menu was weighted towards meats of various descriptions although there were a couple of veggie options too, with starters from £5 - £14 and mains £16 - £22. We both ordered Lemon & Confit Garlic Roasted Chicken Supreme (£17) which came with a large selection of vegetables. Having failed to notice this on the menu, and prompted by our waitress, we ordered up a side of Truffled Cauliflower Cheese (£4.50) just for good measure. When the meal arrived we realised no sides were actually required - the dish was accompanied by mash, duck fat roasted potatoes, buttered suede, braised red cabbage, honey glazed carrots & parsnips, seasonal greens, Yorkshire Pudding and gravy. The only thing missing was cauliflower... and a partridge in a pear tree and given our journey we could possibly have brought the latter with us. The chicken was tender and all the vegetables, including the cauliflower, were fresh and full of flavour. Although my wife only managed a single scoop of ice cream for dessert (£3) I was tempted by the Raspberry & Elderflower Gin Eton Mess which came with Chantilly cream & crushed meringue (£8). It was nice but probably unnecessary. A G&T (£6.60) and a ½ pint of local beer accompanied the meal which in total cost just under £59 which we considered good value for money. Our return to the accommodation was again interesting. For those less keen on travel the pub has five rooms available for a stay over.

I booked for 6 people for Sunday lunch but unfortunately 3 of our party were delayed by 40 minutes. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and nothing was a problem to them . When we eventually arrived and our food was served it was delicious. Some had chicken , others lamb. Both were great, tasty and piping hot. Would definitely recommend and will eat there again.

Great food, and the service we received was lovely. However, there were not enough staff working and they were clearly doing the best they could. One or two people would have alleviated matters. Worth a visit.

Great selection on the menu. Service friendly. Food hot and tasty.

We found a little gem in the Percy Arms the room was outstanding the food was superb and the staff could not do enough to help us enjoy our stay. We will return without any doubt

Had an excellent Sunday lunch. Food was beautifully presented and quantities were generous. Staff were prompt, interested and helpful . Would definitely go back

Absolutely the best food for miles around Wooler and definitely one of the very best Sunday lunches in Northumberland. Worth a visit !

Great tranquil place to stay . We've stayed here twice now . The first time there were a few problems with the accommodation. This time however the accommodation was fine Nice place to relax after a week of stress and the food is nice. Only criticism is the wait for a cooked breakfast 45 mins . Not that it was busy ... 6 guests! Server was pleasant however and friendly. She apologised for the wait. Get that right Percy Arms and your a winner !

Lovely night at the percy for charlies 13th birthday. Food and service were amazing, Well done.

Lovely warm welcome. Super food and room. Clean and spacious. Excellent breakfast. Will definitely visit again and staff were great.

An exceptional experience. A fantastic location and a beautiful place. The team were so welcoming and the food and service second to non. A very relaxing 4 days away.

Went on Steak Night, excellent steaks and excellent service.

Overnight stay. We had Sunday lunch. The hotel was lovely. The bedroom perfect. We had storms with a significant power cut in the area. One slight critism was that no one knocked on to explain the situation or there was no battery powered torch. Worth thinking about as several people had mentioned power cuts can happen when bad weather hits especially in winter. I don't want this to detract from a lovely stay. Our Sunday lunch was beautiful.

Excellent meal at The Percy Arms. Staff very friendly & helpful, we had trouble driving there due to flooding and road closures, we phoned and they held our table until we arrived. The food was delicious. Highly recommend if staying in the area.

Food and service were fantastic. Was disappointed however that the request left on my booking reservation was ignored. Had specifically asked for the table by the fire place and was given a different one. Also, I had mentioned it was a celebration with my grandma about my recent engagement with my Fiancé, this was also overlooked.

First visit and was not disappointed, great service great food at a reasonable price, will definitely go back next time we are in the area.

Staff were extremely friendly and efficient. I'm not sure any one needs 9 vegetables on a Sunday lunch. My beef was fine but my partner's was rather stringy and difficult to cut.

We really enjoyed the Tapas Night at the Percy - the food was delicious and generous, prompt but not rushed, and the service was excellent. Well recommended.

Don’t know what has happened to the steak pie but it was a pale imitation of what it used to be! Not a lot of meat and just not very good - very disappointing. Mash and veggies were lovely.

A beautiful Sunday lunch got two birthdays. Served by Jack who was delightful and excellent communication skills.

Lovely venue and decoration very nice Served straight away and food a short while later Asked if I could have my food reheated as not hot enough but I did enjoy it after that

Fabulous tasty food and friendly staff and very welcoming

Excellent food served in a lovely country inn dining room. Service was friendly.

We went on Bank Holiday evening and were told that they were short staffed in the kitchen which explained delays. My crab and prawn starter had a minimal amount of crab and my Bistro Rump Steak had the texture of having been partially cooked beforehand. My wife's choices were better. The waiting staff were pleasant and had varying degrees of competence. I suspect we chose a bad evening to go as the pub had been recommended to us.

Lovely food, great staff. Thoroughly recommended.

Good hearty, healthy food served in ample Northumbrian portions! The staff were as charming and friendly as ever. |A fine selection of local ales with the Hadrian Brewery "Farne Island" Amber Bitter coming highly recommended. Thank you once again.

I've been holidaying in Northumberland for over ten years and this is the best Sunday dinner I've had so far! Great selection of fresh vegetables. Well cooked and tender meat. Great flavour and value. Huge portions too!

Lovely location character pub traditional Sunday lunch very pleasant helpful staff

The food was good , the service haphazard, too many dogs !

Sunday dinner here was absolutely delicious, easy to book and the staff were lovely. Definitely recommended.

Sunday roast was amazing!! Staff very polite, well organised, we Will certainly return before Christmas, this is the second time iv been and the first time was amazing too which was a week day beautiful food, very tidy bar parking was good, overall very satisfied!!!!

Meal was lovely. We booked late in the week so only gave them a few days notice for a Saturday evening... Probably a slight mistake on our part as we know as locals, how very busy it gets in summer tourist season with "walk -ins"... So, they were maxed out; - nevertheless, the young staff coped as best as they could and, as we had great company with us anyway, we hardly noticed the long wait till we got our order. So all in all, very good in deed! Well done guys and girls... It's almost impossible to get effective staff levels without a strict booking system as you never know how many walk-ins you'll be getting, but you coped admirably. Thanks, and see you again soon.

Food was tremendous 10/10 brownie was delicious. Service was great

Excellent Sunday lunch, and the staff were lovely.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening out at the Percy Arms. Food was fab...hot and very good quality. Service attentive but not intrusive. Overall brilliant

Very friendly and professional service in a charming location with excellent food

The food for main course were very good. The starter of foccacia bread and dips was sadly bland although the sundried tomatoes were very tasty and rescued the dish. The disappointment was at the end of the meal when our guest examined the glass she was drinking from was filthy. We pointed this out to staff who were apologetic but did not seem shocked or overly concerned at its state. We use the pub to entertain our guests but will probably change to somewhere else in future.

Really delicious food and menu. Really quick friendly service. Dog friendly too

Service let our meal down. After the main was served we were not offered any more drinks or pudding when we had finished. We probably would have had pudding too!

Excellent food and service, varied menu for food and drinks. Prompt and polite service.

The dining room was quiet and comfortable. Food and drink choices are varied with plenty of options for everyone. Prices are reasonable and service is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Fantastic restaurant, food was amazing and the service and staff was first class

On holiday booked for meal lovely place fab food and service

Stopping at the nearby Chillingham Castle,we were recommended this pub by the local guide. We decided to have lunch and weren’t disappointed. I had the pie with triple cooked chips and my wife had the steak. Both meals were delicious and plentiful . The chips were amazing !! Reasonably priced too. No doubt we will return again on our next visit.

Northumbrian cuisine at it's finest. Quality, wholesome food served in what my family described as hearty "Northern Portions"! This is exactly what we've come to expect from The Percy Arms. The "Toon Broon" was also the perfect accompaniment to our meal. A special mention to Leanne and her team who were friendly and attentive. Thank you and see you again soon.

After the restaurant being recommended by the holiday host we spent our first evening in Chatton having dinner at the Percy Arms. The quality of the food was decidedly average, with my pasta carbonara with a fried hens egg being well below par since the hens egg had burst and dried up and my husbands broccoli being so hard it cannot have seen boiling water for more than a couple of seconds. The service was again average with longer wait than usual for drinks,empty glasses not cleared away and a very clumsy and loud waitress spraying the adjacent tables liberally with disinfectant to lay breakfast placings. So liberally in fact that my husband had a coughing fit. When asked, the bill then was casually thrown on the table. We really were not made to feel welcome. Needless to say we chose to drive out for dinner for the rest of the holiday.

Warm friendly environment, treated like a local! Good food, beautiful area, lovely pub.

V good pub. Staff excellent. Food very nice. Can recommend.

We were staying in the area and ate here twice.Both meals were excellent with attentive service. The Sunday lunch was as good as what I cook at home. Well done . Highly recommended.

Good food, good service, friendly and welcoming staff

Service was very slow and inattentive although the restaurant was not overly busy

Stayed overnight and had dinner and breakfast; the food was excellent and well presented and the staff were great. We had visited last year for Sunday lunch, which also was very good, and returned on the basis of that. Our room was spacious and well furnished and the bed comfortable. Will definitely be back!

Really enjoyable meal, nothing too much trouble, great atmosphere - can't wait to go again

We recently stayed at The Percy Arms for four nights whilst on a trip to beautiful Northumberland. We arrived quite late at 8 pm and had booked dinner. My husbands was dreadfully over cooked and the waitress changed it but it was really no better. The rooms were fine and shower good but breakfast was a 30/40 minute wait from time of ordering and as our stay progressed things kept running out. Marmalade, honey,sourdough. We never got any English breakfast tea in our room and on the last day we had no loo roll. Bar service was very slow any our room was very dusty. When it came to check out we were charged for food and drinks we never had. All in all The Percy Arms you really must try harder.

We enjoyed our Sunday lunch at the Percy Arms Hotel. The food was very good and is excellent value for money. Our only negative was that the service was very, very slow. We had booked for 1.00pm, arrived early, got a drink and our starters fairly promptly, but then had to wait over an hour for our main course ( although the food was good) . We think there was a lack of supervision of the young staff who did not seem to be aware how long folk were waiting .

The Percy Arms is relatively convenient to where we live making it ideal as a venue if we want a meal out. It is nice pub with friendly helpful staff, friendly customers and good atmosphere. There are several regulars who call in helping with the atmosphere. Parking is a little limited but inside there are quite a few tables in different areas to choose from (including dog friendly tables). I would recommend booking as it can get busy at times. The food is excellent. We've eaten there a number of times having meals including fish, pies/sausage and mash, calves liver and an exceptionally good thai curry on our most recent visit. Good deserts too including a great sticky toffee sponge with a sauce that isn't too sweet (a pleasant change) and lovely cheese cake. It isn't the cheapest in the area but the quality is excellent so you definitely get what you pay for - it is worth the little extra if you can. We'll be back

Fantastic all round experience, had a steak followed by the Rhubarb and Custard Cheesecake. Superb.

Lovely decor let down massively by the food on offer. 3 Sunday lunches and a child's meal and the potatoes across all were poor to say the least, hard and highly overseasoned. Two trio Sunday lunches ordered and the meat was tough and fatty however the veg was plentiful. My daughter ordered chicken goujons and whilst the chicken was well cooked the batter they were coated in was inedible, soggy and tasted strange whilst the chips rock hard and drowned in rock salt. Sadly we would not return for food.

Waited over an hour for one course. When it arrived it was barely warm

Helpful staff and excellent food. Will definately go again and recommend to others

Roast dinner superb, lovely cauliflower cheese, fab veg thankyou

I searched best Sunday roasts in Northumberland and this was listed in a blog. For me, a roast is about the trimmings and the Percy Arms didn’t disappoint. There were so many different types of vegetables, an enormous Yorkshire pudding, great roast potatoes and the gravy was thick and delicious, with plenty of it. Brilliant value for money. Only marked a star down for the speed of the service, drinks arriving after the food, but I think the very friendly and helpful staff were overwhelmed with visitors.

Made a really pleasant change to eat at a restuarant and have veggies that were treated with respect rather than boiled to death :o) The seasonal greens were excellent, as were the roast veg that came with the roast dinner. The Cauliflower Cheese was exceptional!

All 5 eating agreed, best Sunday dinner that we can remember having. Thank you

Food and service excellent, shared a starter of muscles could not fault,our mains were also very good, will return if we are in the area! Malbec pricey at £10 a glass for large.

Average food & average service. We waited 20 mins for our drinks to arrive, despite several reminders. We ordered the squid which was dry & tasteless & didn’t have the chilli dip & cost £9.50. The cauliflower starter was mushy & unpleasant. On a positive note, the main courses were all delicious ie the salmon, the steak pie & the venison sirloin. However I was originally given the venison burger so had to wait a further 15 mins for it to arrive. The server (who did try to resolve the situation) gave us a reduction on the bill. We have eaten many times at the Percy Arms but this time was shambolic. It didn’t appear that anyone was in overall charge, although the whole team were very pleasant.

Great food at the Percy Arms. Excellent quality and really tasty. The staff were so friendly too. Would definitely recommend and we will go back.

Friendly service, lovely place to eat and drink would definitely go again

Overall a very nice Sunday lunch, nice menu choice. Food was well cooked and tasty

Excellent food. Very pleasant staff. Nice village pub feel.

Great atmosphere of a friendly local village pub. The food is great. We ate 2 nights in a row whilst visiting the area.

Delicious food, large portions, well priced, we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area

Went on off-chance as Google reviews showed the place would fit you in. Called at 3pm after Sunday lunch rush. Didn't seem busy. Waitress unhelpful and they were just no bothered. We left and found another delightful pub a few miles away who were very busy but squeezed us in.

Had the most wonderful Sunday Lunch for 8 of us in the “Gun” Room. Fantastic starters, roast beef to die for…Yorkshires the size of side plates. Service by all personnel was brilliant and a special shout out for Harvey.

We stayed 3 nights in River Till room which was really spacious and cosy, very clean and the coffee machine was an added bonus. Bathroom was great and the big bath was so welcome after walking around the beautiful Northumberland. Although it could be improved by the addition of some sort of shelving/storage for your toiletries. Evening meals were excellent and the bar/waiting staff were very pleasant. Breakfasts were a bit hit and miss though. I think more consistency is required. The first morning we were not offered any juice and my poached egg was very questionable! Coffee was cold by the time the waitress had found some sugar and I wasn’t offered any more. It seemed a bit haphazard. A previous review mentioned the guest who had been given only half his breakfast - this was the same day! The next day was totally different, a new waitress was lovely and showed a real interest in what we were doing that day and gave recommendations. We were offered juice and asked if we needed anything else - I’d opted for fried egg to avoid the poached and it was perfect. The hotel is perfectly located in a lovely village and despite a couple of minor issues, we would certainly return for another visit.

Thank you for reaching out for feedback. Whilst we enjoyed our evening meal and the accommodation was to standard we were extremely disappointed with our breakfast . The waitress was pleasant however we were not offered any fruit juice or toast to accompany the breakfast. It was obvious before our breakfast arrived that other dinners were unhappy with one individual having to complain his breakfast was missing the poached egg and sourdough, he was only presented with bacon and avocado on his plate. We had to wait a significant time for our breakfast to arrive and when it did it was stone cold and was not well cooked and really uninspiring to say the least. Obviously there is a significant difference in skill set between the evening chef and the breakfast cook. Sad to say our overall experience was tainted by a poor quality breakfast experience which is the last impression you leave the Percy Arms with especially as it was a birthday celebration.

Amazing food. We always visit The Percy Arms for Sunday lunch with our black Labrador, when holidaying in the area. The meal was well prepared and presented. Thoroughly enjoyed the taste of all of it. Great service with friendly staff. Lovely place to visit.

Nice pub in a quiet village, only stayed for one night as travelling around the area, happily would have stayed longer. Room was clean and tidy and well presented, roll top bath and a walk in shower. Bed was very comfortable. Had diner and breakfast which was all very good.

Great food and location- friendly staff. Venison Burger was excellent

Stayed in the nearby castle and went for lunch. It is just a few miles away. Ample parking on site or the street outside. Clean and bright pub, with nice comfy seating. The menu was good and I had the chicken supreme which I highly recommend. The pub is dog friendly (as a family were eating close by with their pet). Friendly service and I would recommend stopping in for lunch.

Percy Arms quickly became our go-to spot during our stay in the area, and for good reason. We found ourselves dining there three times in a week, and each visit was a delight! The standout dish for me was undoubtedly the Seafood Linguine – fresh seafood delicately nestled in perfectly cooked pasta - the best I've ever had!!! Beyond the exceptional food, the service was consistently friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall enjoyment of the experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by Percy Arms for a memorable meal.

First time here. Absolutely lovely pub. Food was wonderful. Enjoyed full experience. Will be back!

Room was lovely and well equipped with all we could need. Bathroom was huge and bath was amazing. One down side was if you wanted to shower water went everywhere! Breakfast had an excellent amount of choice.

Nice place to stay for a stop over. Food was good (dinner and breakfast), and staff very friendly and attentive. Lovely small village setting and very dog friendly.

Very accommodating, staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had a table of 7 and every meal was fantastic.

A solid traditional Sunday Lunch, with the beef particularly good accompanied by massive Yourkshire puddings and all the trimmings. My partner's lamb a little dissapointing - needed more taste, and more rosemary, IMHO! Good country pub atmosphere, and sevice attentive. Including tip, a round £100 for the three of us, including two large glasses of wine and three coffees. Worth a recommend!

Fantastic venue, extremely friendly and helpful staff, great food! Dog friendly, very clean throughout. Will return! 5*

Well done team great day lovely meal thank you very much

Another really good dinner at The Percy. Delicious food and great service as always. Thank you.

Lovely meal in a warm and welcoming pub. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, excellent employees and service, beautiful room! The breakfast was just as amazing as dinner the night before and the night/morning employees were very friendly and helpful. They even treated our dog to a sausage at both meals.

Lovely welcoming bar. All staff very friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent. Tasty and well presented. Lovely environment tastefully decorated. Very cosy and enjoyable experience

Amazing food ( huge portions we rolled our stomachs out) lovely surroundings. Not too bad price wise. Worth it. Will definitely re visit.
