The Plough On The Hill. in Northumberland

Absolutely loved staying here, owners really lovely people and everything totally faultless thank u lis and family 👪

Closed on arrival. No update to its website to say this.

Drove 30 minutes to get here on a Sunday to find it closed, phone lines not receiving calls, no signs or information on website or Facebook page. Google still advises its open. Wasted journey. Very disappointing that no effort made to inform customers. My son did a wee in the car park.

We visited here on a Friday was totally shut, no sign of life

Thankyou to the two wonderfull ladies at the Plough to day, who went above and beyond to ensure we had lovely lunch .

A pretty poor experience unfortunately. There has clearly been a lot of money spent on the decor, but some of this should have gone towards the uninspiring brown menu and lack of staff. An overpriced meal eaten under a perpetually paused flat screen TV. One plus was that the rump steak was well cooked, but any restaurant that can't produce a decent steak should be shut down.

Just called in for a pint. Great decor, staff and beer. Dog friendly and everything a British pub should be.

Brilliant, rocked up at 20-40 walked into the bar, made very welcome and offered a takeaway option as the kitchen had finished. Will Definitely Be Back 😁👍👍

We had a few drinks and a first class meal a lovely pub with very friendly staff

Absolutely recommend, The Plough On The Hill is a delightful restaurant, it had a mouth watering menu and charming staff.

Great atmosphere, staff are lovely, music fantastic 👏

Awesome friendly stopover....we'll be back

Interesting pub... Remote, a lot of trouble has been put into the decor, it looks and feels good. Comfortable seating. Nice interior. Separate spaces where you can find privacy, otherwise there are high ceilings and plenty space to spread out in

Food & staff were excellent but it was really cold in the bar which was a shame, didn't take my coat off.

Lovely food in lovely surroundings will definitely be back.

Lovely place and friendly service. Recommended!

Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch Yorkshire pudding to die for ! Staff very friendly polite.

Lovely pub. Great food. Always made to feel welcome. Will be back....

Stopped by for a quick lunch on the way home from Berwick. I had the tuna melt with soup of the day. The tuna melt was lovely and the bread was really good quality, my only niggle was that there wasn't much cheese in it at all. The soup of the day was a rich, chunky tomato soup - just wish the portion size was a bigger!

Nice Gastro pub..friendly staff, food was cooked well.. :)

Fab atmosphere with great live music every weekend!

Very nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, good food. This was really positive experience and surprise.

Beautiful food service and beautifully decorated

Nice reception from staff and food good.

Absolutely brilliant pub with great food and fantastic service with good live entertainment. Super hook up for our motorhome. We will be back again and again.

Excellent food, great surroundings and helpful, pleasant staff

Staff very friendly and welcoming! The little extra touches such as water on the table and a colouring competition for the children make all the difference. The best fish & chips we've had in a long time. We will definitely go back.

Great place lovely people and the restaurant is amazing. It is kid friendly with a play park and board games are provided but adults love it too

We came over from northern ireland to visit family, so decided to book in for a meal on Thursday past, They had on an open mic night that night, (very entertaining) well I can't say enough to praise them, Absolutely stunning building inside and out! 😍 The staff were genuinely friendly and the manageress was a lovely lady, and the food!! It was delicious, very flavourful, haven't had such a beautiful meal in a long time, we will definitely return A*

Lovely little find, very nice inside and tasty food. We stayed in the motorhome area which was £25 including electric or eat in restaurant and no charge. The manageress was lovely and friendly.

Nicely laid out. Just came in for a quick bite to eat. Had soup and pate. Lovely.

Amazing Sunday roast, best we’ve had in a long while. Tender meat, tasty veg and fab Yorkshire pudding. And they had a dog menu too!! Service was efficient and friendly. We’ll be back and will recommend xx

Very nice Sunday lunch, well served in a nice location

In the middle of nowhere with great views, good drink and fantastic meals. Had a lovely time

Stayed in the motorhome parking, which was free if you ate in the pub. Lovely food and a local singer was on to entertain in the evening. Really enjoyed our stay.

What a fantastic find...We went in to have a drink on Friday night and book a table for Saturday a great band playing (Drifting Back) Food was excellent on Saturday so booked again for Sunday again the food was great and live music again. The staff are so friendly and can not do enough for you..The manager Mandy was so accommodating and she bent over backwards to look after us. such a lovely lady.. Will definitely be back next time we are back in Northumberland. Dog friendly and real fire is a bonus

Lovely and welcoming Brilliant food and drink Slightly more money but would recommend as worth every penny hope to come back next year

Fantastic lunch. Haven’t enjoyed food so much in a long time. And I’ve lived in Europe for years!

Very good food and service. Ambience excellent.

beautifult location but too rural now empty and up for sale but rates make impossible could and would be a goldmine in a city

A quiet place to go in the country a good pub meal served hot ,plenty of ,good portions a good atmosphere jolly people,

We had two excellent Sunday lunches last summer. We are on holiday again in Berwick and were disappointed to see that it has now closed . Your business rates are ridiculously high. There are expert firms of Chartered Surveyors who appeal rates on a no fee no win basis. I assume you have tried this course of action

Visited this place at the start of May and it appears to have closed down. Very disappointing as the reviews looked good and it was close to the place we were staying.

From the arrival through the curtain with our dog it was an experience. The African theme with zebra pelts on the walls would probably have most vegans screaming for the hills, however there was a lovely warm welcome and a great menu on the table. The food was superb however the chef did seem to have his own take on the recipes as my mushroom with blue cheese and walnut salad had neither blue cheese or walnuts (plenty of almonds and hazelnuts) however tasted fabulous. Our only moan was that we ordered a glass of large house red and was charged £9 for the privilege...

Having read so many good reviews about this place, we decided it would be just the sort of place we like - quirky with great food and it didn’t disappoint. We were greeted warmly as we walked in and were seated at a table close to the log burner. Everybody was very helpful and offered great advice as to what I could have that would help me avoid cow’s milk- not something that always happens. There was a great choice and we made our selection. There was a little hiccup with our meal but the staff were dealing with a boy being sick over the table and some of the party wanting their meals immediately so they could leave. We received an apology and the food was so beautiful it really wasn’t a problem. If you like quirky decor and gorgeous, unusual food then this is definitely a place to visit.

Decided to have a meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary and was recommended The Plough On The Hill. It was a good choice! The food was amazing, well presented! Unexpected, was the entertainment--belly dancers!!!! Brilliant!! We finished the night offf with a drink ,sitting on a big comfy sofa, chatting with the owner! An excellent night!

We visited last weekend with our doggy, we didn’t book as we hadn’t planned to go, but looked on trip advisor for good local eateries whilst away for the weekend. I think we were lucky to secure a table, as it appears to be very popular. The staff were lovely and friendly, even preparing a meal for our dog.

I called up to book on request but couldn’t get through a few times before hand. So I thought I would drive there but when I did arrive all I got was a ‘sorry fully booked today’. Also I had to go through the back door as the front door was not in use. Would not go back!

Called in here recently whilst on holiday in Northumberland. Decor is really unusual but this restaurant has a nice feel to it. Staff were very friendly. Blade of Beef was absolutely delicious but was really the only thing on the menu which appealed to me. Lots of fancy sounding stuff but I'm a lover of good old fashioned plain food. Was just a bit fancy for me. People who have a wider taste range than me will love it thou. Well worth a visit.

We visited after a very difficult day and we are truly glad we did. The Plough on the Hill is decorated fabulously. The service is second to none and last but by no means least the food was out of this world. We were treated like old friends and we were made to feel extra special. Going the extra mile should be Sarah's motto.

A rather muted welcome turned out to be because (unknown to us) we arrived shortly before last orders. However, once we had been seated and ordered a drink (so nice to find Timothy Taylor's 'Landlord' so far north) we felt more welcome. The African influence is very strong and animal skins adorning the walls would not be to everyone's taste. At the end of the day though it's the food which is important and the cod masala was absolutely excellent, perfectly cooked.

This was my first time visiting the Plough on the Hill. I was up visiting my mother and wanted to try somewhere new. And boy I’m glad I chose here. Staff were incredibly friendly throughout our visit. But so attentive, they would keep you updated on the process of your meal. When it came it was absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed my lunch here and the overall experience.

Had a great meal in this beautiful restaurant last night with stunning décor and setting, just love the look of this place with great food and attentive staff. Definitely worth a visit.

First visit since the renovation and well worth the wait. Food was fantastic. Top quality cuts of meat. Setting and furnishings are stunning. Will be back. Faultless. The service and smiles from staff were great. Thank you.

The minute you walk in the door and are met with a friendly smile you are instantly put at ease, the decor is stunning nothing like this in surrounding area. The crackle of the log burner keeping you warm as you have a drink and ponder the menu, when the piping hot homemade food arrives you understand why this place is booked up most nights, I never ever go out for my Christmas Dinner but after my meal today we are going to book for Christmas Dinner, anyone who knows me will be amazed but this place is so friendly I can't wait to be eating my Christmas Dinner here, anyone visiting or living near must try this special place you won't regret it, oh I almost forgot its dog friendly too, get yourself to the plough on the hill you won't regret it

Wasn't overly sure about this place after having purchased an Itison voucher for a 2 course meal with drinks but I need not have worried. From the moment we walked in through the door we felt at ease. We were greeted by the lovely Sarah and made to feel as welcome as if it was her own home! The ambience was both warm and inviting and the unusual decor added to the fascination of the place! The food was a delight! So many different tastes all fused together in a wonderful gastronomic mix! We will certainly return!

We went for Sunday lunch, had a voucher for a two course offer and food was lovely - steak especially was beautifully cooked.

Myself, husband & mother in law went for a Sunday lunch, lovely food, lovely staff, lovely restaurant

We (me, my wife and two young children) visited The Plough on the Hill on the recommendation of a friend. When we arrived we were very pleasantly surprised by the lovely (and quirky) decor. It’s obvious that a lot of care and attention has gone into creating such an informal, authentic, comfortable and welcoming dining experience; just as inviting for a family as it is for a romantic meal for two. Pretty hard to pull that off I imagine. I loved the African and Asian influences - they were quite unexpected in a rural Northumberland restaurant!

We drove past during the day and thort have to go back there rang up booked and went and was not disappointed. Food was very nice my sirloin was cooked to perfection could not fault it at all. I told other guest in the hotel were we where staying to go lol will be back next time that way

My second visit - It was great food and I was happy to be served by Nicola again who was wonderful. I will definitely return on my next trip to Northumberland.

Had never been to this restaurant which is just a few miles south of Berwick from the A1 but had heard some good reports. We arrived (not booked) and the staff were great. Had a good table and the service was excellent as well as the food being timely and very tasty. Even tried one of the deserts!!

Went here last Saturday night with my friends for a meal and a few drinks. Couldn't recommend this place enough! Amazing 10/10 food and amazing staff and service!

Visiting the area with friends for a weekend break and a local recommended this restaurant to us. The food was sublime and the surroundings beautiful, all in all a fantastically evening was had. Strongly recommend.

Currently going with an African spice theme which is super tasty. Meat cooked to perfection. Service is amazing here and you are made to feel very valued as a customer.

Just go and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. The food, atmosphere and value for money is just amazing. We were visting Berwick upon Tweed for the weekend and decided to try The Plough on the Hill for Sunday lunch and we were just so,so pleased we did. The blade of beef just melts in your mouth and the portion was very generous. All of our courses were excellent

this has to be one of the best restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of dining in, I am very well travelled and been to south Africa many times, ive eaten in Michelin star restaurant's around the world but this whole experience beats them all, from the moment you walk into this beautifully refurbished establishment you are blown away by the sheer class, no money has been spared from the 140 year old solid French oak tables and gin bar to the antiques collected from around the world buy Sarah and Robert the owners, I opted for the Inka grilled mother in law masala seekh kebab with charred baby gem-red pepper-green chilli & Mint Chimichurri to start and my wife had the crispy tempura vegetables with bean sprouts,spring onion and chilli salad, both dishes were incredible a sheer taste explosion, I then opted for the traditional authentic south African bunny chow curry WOW!!! melt in the mouth slow cooked Angus beef cooked in spices sourced in Cape town ( one of the best curries I have ever eaten, my wife opted for the butter chicken, well she couldn't even speak except just to say omg this is wonderful, the experience you get in this place is something money cant buy, the owners Robert & Sarah and the manager Nicola are just naturals and make you feel part of the family, the choices of worldly wines and gins are unbelievable, the crystal glasses beautiful, now to the views, this has to be one of the most relaxing beautiful views in Northumberland by far, the unbelievable decking with French oak and Italian marble tables are beautiful. if you dine anywhere this has to the place, a must try please believe me......

Me and my son ate here last week and sometimes struggle eating out as we don't eat meat. Not a problem here! Halloumi burger was yum and our waitress Nicola was great with my son. Highly recommend for families.

I had the pleasure of visiting for dinner with my other half this weekend and what an experience it was. We both had the beef plate for main and it was outstanding. Along with some beautiful red wine and some fantastic desserts we can’t recommend this place enough.

Every time we visit this beautiful restraunt it just blows us away.... the food tantilises our taste buds and the staff makes our experience second to none... Nicola and Andrew(Bopa).. on the bar and nothing is to much trouble for them, they are the most professional staff I have ever came across, kind, friendly and make you feel part of their family... Sara and Robert can't do enough for you and really look after you and your party... the effort they put in to make you feel so special is just something you don't see anywhere else.

Just back from our first visit and it won't be the last. Staff very welcoming , our waitress Nicola explained the menu and was very friendly. Food was amazing. Looking forward to our next visit

Couples visit, could quite easily have taken our children! Delayed valentines meal. Great varied menus, great service, Food was spot on, nothing was any trouble and I loved the gin/cocktail menu! Nice atmosphere, Will definitely be back, great to see a local business doing well.

This is definitely a hidden gem and I love the decor which has a uniqueness I appreciated. The meal was 10/10 for all 3 courses! We are often in Eyemouth, not too far away, and this is somewhere il be back to time and time again! The staff are friendly and the owner is passionate which was lovely! Talented chef and in the summer I imagine it will be a fantastic place due to the beautiful location! I hope this place is busy always as it’s what it deserves!

We were given a voucher for lunch and visited yesterday on a beautiful bright sunny day. The location is amazing with views across the countryside to the coast, would be wonderful to sit out on the terrace in the summer. Inside the log burner provided a cosy atmosphere without being stuffy. Decor is amazing and unique. Nicola welcomed us and was very friendly and attentive, explained the unique dishes on the menu with knowledge and enthusiasm. Food was wonderful and plenty of it at a very reasonable cost. I had the butter chicken which was beautifully spiced without being too hot, served with rice and naan bread - delicious. Hubby had blade of beef which looked amazing and he polished it off double quick. I will try it next time I think. Panacotta with rhubarb and ginger was devine as was the chocolate mousse. Every intention of making it a regular thing and definitely somewhere to take visitors.

Just back from a cracking dinner at the plough on the hill, food was really really good, lovely relaxed atmosphere, staff are great, our waitress Nicola , helped us out with a great new rhubarb and rose gin definite for gin lovers

This place is a hidden gem!we had some itison vouchers and the value for money was amazing!will definitely be back and would happily pay full price.Ended up having 3 courses as the starter and main course were amazing!The decor is really different and cool you can tell a lot of love has went into it.Would recommend the bunny curry the dim sum and the chocolate mouse.staff were very friendly and welcoming aswell,can’t wait to go back!

I went here to meet family a couple of days before Christmas.

A family group of eight of us had lunch here today. We were welcomed by friendly staff and quickly seated, we had a variety of starters and mains from the lunch menu such as salt and pepper squid, lamb kebab, for starters and blade of beef, butter chicken and home made burgers, as the mains and everyone was happy with their respective choices.

Beautiful meal at the plough on the hill, Sarah was so welcoming and friendly. Amazing African spice in the chicken dish surrounded by the beautiful decor of individual pieces. Need to go more often with it being on our doorstep. Lovely night thank you to the plough x

Sarah and Bobby our wonderful hostess and host, couldn’t do enough to make us and our dog Merlyn feel part of their home! Our static home just perfectly comfortable and equipped to cover our every need. The restaurant blew us away as we walked in with it’s beautiful decor and treasured artifacts, our favourite being the spectacular ceiling and lights. We were greeted by the lovely, Nicola who made us welcome and looked after us for the duration of our stay. The menu a fabulous and varied choice and Sarah and Bobby worked so hard together to produce absolutely delicious foods!!!! In short we loved our stay with them and felt we left having made wonderful friends. Thank you and look forward to seeing you again soon, Debs , Jonny and Merlyn ‍

Had a great night with old friends over dinner Nicola was the perfect waitress. Nothing was to much for her.

visited this place 3-4 times last autumn; was amazed by the great variety of delicious food and the stunning environment... but, above all, the warm and exceptional service; as I come from a Mediterranean country, I was impressed by the openness and warmth as well as the great service of our waitress Nicola... highly recommended!...

I have a visited this restaurant a few times now, its absolutely beautiful, the decor, food and service is fantastic. Nicola is always very warm and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and have created a fabulously relaxed and cosy environment.

This is a fantastic restaurant with bundles of charm. We went for an anniversary dinner and couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough. Staff are very friendly and we want to give a big thanks to the waitress Nicola for making it extra special.

Brought my mum and dad here along with my girlfriend inbetween Christmas and New Year for an evening meal and we were not dissappointed. I have visited the Plough at Allerdeen previously but it's now completely transformed and they have done a fantastic job to the place.

The landscape that surrounds the Plough on the Hill for dinner expanded my horizons. The sky above this area of England seems to expand like an ocean that radiates incredible colours that light up the road and fields. A solid wood door opens and soft light glows from the crackling fire. I'm welcomed immediately by the warm friendly owner Sara. Coloured large sofa's, solid wood tables and fascinating artefacts from around the world make this place interesting - it offers so much more than your usual restaurant. The food, service and ambience are wonderful. Our waitress Nicola had an amazing sense of humour. Her attention to service and detail was outstanding. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Northumberland. The caravan accommodation is great too!

Wow, cannot rate this place highly enough !

A very unique but warm and cosy interior.

4 of us all had the Sunday lunch of beef with all the trimmings, great food and great value in a fantastic restaurant. Grandson had real chicken nuggets and no problem to swap fries for Garlic bread. This really is a cut above a standard Sunday lunch offering and the staff and owners always make you feel welcome. Highly recommended.

Just back from Plough On The Hill, we had our Christmas meal today everything was amazing from start to finish. The staff were very welcoming and attended to all our needs. We will definitely be going back and would recommend you to visit this awesome place. I don’t think this place could be beaten by anyone else.

We all had a wonderfull time here for our Christmas dinner. It has made the day very special being treated like royalty. The food was 2nd to none. Would highly recommend anyone to see this beautiful place for themselves. Can't wait to go back.

Visited The Plough on the Hill for lunch today, we arrived as a group of 4 adults and 1 toddler. We also arrived over an hour earlier as plans had changed and the staff were very accommodating and we were able to be at our table early. The welcome was friendly and very attentive to my child who was given Christmas playing cards and a balloon to keep him occupied. Our waitress came to take our drinks and the service was outstanding. We all ordered the Crispy chicken/prawn dim sum which was beautiful and the sauce which accompanied it was second to none. Again we all ordered the beef blade which was absolutely hands down the best beef I have had, it fell apart and melted in your mouth. Robert the owner came over for a chat and spoke so easily to our group it felt like we had known him for years. Service again was very attentive and we were offered the dessert menu. 2 of the group had the Chocolate Box which was incredible and a rather large portion. After the bill was settled we headed to the children’s play area for a quick run around which is a nice extra touch. My son loved it. Our entire group left happy and full. The topic of choice for the car journey home was how beautiful the food was and what lovely hosts welcomed us. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic place - choose this restaurant as it was a mid way point for meeting up with family from England. Food was amazing and delicious - clean plates all round for all courses. I would recommend the beef blade as meat was so tender and melted in my mouth. Atmosphere was fun and relaxing and the decor is great. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome, the chef even went through the menu with us. There is a play park out front which kep the kids happy even though it was a cold day. Definitely hope to go back.

Had another excellent meal at The Plough tonight. Sarah, Bobby and team create a special magic that we love. The food is consistently excellent and everyone makes you feel genuinely welcome and cared for, coupled with a fantastic environment. There’s no where in the area that comes close to this gem. We love it!

My girlfriend and I visited Plough on the Hill on a horrible, freezing, wet and windy night. It was well worth the trip. The place has a brilliant and unique style and with warm fires, it felt the perfect refuge. The staff were very welcoming but the food was the highlight. Each course rivalled any restaurant I've ever been to. If you're in Northumberland and don't eat here you will have missed out!

A large party of us had a walk here when I was staying down the road for my birthday. Completely out of the ordinary, was a real find for a late lunch and the decor was so warm and inviting. Excellent gin menu, and the staff were really accommodating and friendly. Food was lush (and desserts were amazing). Would definitely come here again.

A group of us, including children, visited for the second time this weekend. The food was just as good as we’d remembered and service is lovely and very friendly. We will definitely be back again.

Fabulous find. Off the beaten track..but well worth the effort. Full of interesting pieces to adorn the restaurant from the travels of the owners... Gr8 menu...good food and drinks served to perfection! Seek it out if you are in the area!

Just returned home after our second visit,

We visited with family, including a number of children. They were very organised and made sure the children were fed first to then allow the adults to enjoy their meals. Small thing but very helpful. And the owners even helped entertain the kids while we enjoyed a great meal. Would highly recommend for their food and the warm reception.
