The Red Lion in Northumberland

An absolute gem. The Red Lion is a beautiful place to stay, the food is excellent and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here to anyone, with the best hosts.

A hidden gem of a place Wonderful location, venue, people, rooms & a bath for a weary traveller I will be returning as I believe do many more

Excellent atmosphere cosy log fire

Room was clean and comfortable. Good bed and bedding.

had Sunday lunch here today for the first time and it won't be the last. The staff make you feel so welcome, it's a lovely proper pub and most importantly the food was absolutely perfect one of the best cooked lunches I've ever had and two (great)Yorkshire puddings had to be a bonus! Sticky toffee pudding is great too and my cousin had the crumble which he said was fantastic. We will definitely be back. perfect location for us as my cousin lives in Carlisle and I live in Newcastle so halfway for us, hoping to make it our new regular meeting place .

A perfect Inn near to Hadrians Wall. Comfortable snd spacious room, good food and excellent service. Great value... will stay again

Four of us for dinner. Great starters, mains and dessert... Couldn't fault it at all. And all for a reasonable price. The guest beer was top notch too..

A friend and I stayed in the Red Lion as an overnight stay on a short break for a Hadrian's Wall adventure. Beautiful pub and village, very friendly and helpful staff and management. Meals dinner and breakfast were good value for money, well cooked and presented and catered for diet and vegetarian requirements. Rooms were spacious and overlooked the village, quiet and peaceful.

We visited the Red Lion to celebrate a birthday, The food was exquisite, garlic prawns starter and Pork belly, mmm delicious. If you haven’t been you don’t know what you are missing. I would highly recommend the Red Lion

This is clearly a popular spot and with good reason. Heading for Newcastle we stopped off for dinner. We were seated quickly in a nice spot. The menu had a great selection and it was easy to find something to suit us both. Leek and potato soup as an appetizer was substantial and very tasty. We then opted for steak and ale pie and chicken Caesar salad. Both with fries. Absolutely delicious. Very obviously fresh and cooked from scratch. Nice atmosphere and excellent service. Would return in a heartbeat. What a find,

Sunday lunch was ,as usual excellent and Andy & Sue welcoming.Cosy pub ,good food

My husband, daughter and I stopped here for lunch on our way to Hadrian's Wall. All of us agreed that our meals were absolutely delicious and of outstanding quality. I had the steak and ale pie which was amazing! I can honestly say it was the best I have ever had. Large succulent pieces of steak, rich and flavoursome gravy with a puff pastry top. My husband is a big fan of lamb so went for the hotpot. The minted gravy completely elevated what was already top notch! The kids' fish fingers and chips were more 'fish bites' which our daughter preferred. Again cooked to perfection. The location is simply stunning. Wonderful views in a serene location. Top service from the lovely owner as well outstanding food. Thank you!

We had a fabulous stay at The Red Lion from beginning to end. Sue and Andy were awesome hosts. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. Dinner was beautiful as was the breakfast. The pub was friendly and the locals were welcoming. Would highly recommend.

Hands down the best place we have stayed on our travels. Great people, great food and lovely clean rooms. Would highly recommend a stay here.

We spent a Friday night at the Red Lion in order to visit Housesteads fort along Hadrian's Wall - it's also near Chesters, another HW site. Newbrough neighbors make themselves at home in the pub and are very friendly to strangers. Both our dinner and our breakfast in the restaurant were wonderful. We were sorry to learn that tourism has been a little slow due to consistent rains - but we had sunny weather and a great view of the sheep across Stanegate! Hugely comfortable room and no noise leaked through from the downstairs pub. I'm so homesick for this place!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at the Red Lion. The selection on the menu was incredible, everything we loved. Andy's food was prepared and served to a high standard and it was delicious, particularly his game pie, which was out of this world. Thank you for making our night so special, it was fantastic.

The finest food in the area, prepared lovingly by a master chef. Excellent food and service, great warm atmosphere. Beautifully kept rooms.

We didn't stay here but we would definitely come back to stay. The food was fantastic, beautifully presented and my glass of wine was also really good. Highly reccommend!

Popped in for a fabulous Sunday lunch. Excellent value for money.

My husband celebrated a significant birthday this week and my daughter and son in law surprised him with a birthday lunch. The food was fantastic, such high quality. My thanks to Sue and Andy for such a friendly welcoming pub and if you haven’t already visited the Red Lion - would recommend it most highly. You don’t know what you’re missing

Sue ensured we had a fabulous time for my mum’s 87th birthday, made an extra effort for all 10 of us. The private room was brilliant for the occasion. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fabulous place to stay, eat and drink. Hosts kindly prepared a takeaway breakfast for us as we were up and away early for a local race event. Dinner was great quality and excellent value. Will definitely return if in the area

A lovely one-night stay. On a cycling tour and lucky enough to be staying at this lovely establishment for our final night. My room was superb and as a dinner/drinks destination, it was faultless. The staff were all lovely and on top of their game. A word too for the locals who were ever so friendly. The Lamb hotpot was simply stunning. Beer and wine offerings were great and, considering the quality, every element of my stay was great value. I’ll certainly be returning.

We had a great Sunday lunch and, despite a bit of a muddle over numbers, everything went like clockwork. Lovely atmosphere and exceptional young staff 👏

We wnt for a meal and it was excellent. PERFECTION!!!!! Cannot say anything about rooms as I didn't stay there. But if the rooms are as good as the food then the sky is the limit

I had a lovely time at the Red Lion, we got served by a polite young lady who was well mannered and patient taking our order. Our room was also clean and tidy. Good location and price I’d definitely reccomend and will be returning.👍🏼

If I could leave 1000 stars I would. Proprietors have exceptional attention to detail and it shows in the rooms and the food. Great selection of beer on tap and a nice wine menu to boot. I could stay here forever!

Dropped in on the off chance for Sunday lunch while passing through the area. Delightful old bar, friendly staff, and the best Sunday roast we've had for ages. Roast pork/roast beef, both meats tender and tasty, excellent Yorkshire puddings and perfectly cooked veg, all served piping hot. Couldn't have been better, thank you!

Really nice food & nice service.

We were a party of 5, visiting the Red Lion for Sunday lunch. The quality and quantity of the lunch was good, the staff were efficient and friendly and the pub itself was pleasant.

Great pub, great atmosphere. Rooms immaculate and comfortable. Best pub food you could wish for. Recommend the venison hotpot! Well worth a visit.

Food and service was outstanding! Best meal me and partner have had in a while. Proper home cooked British food, will definitely be back again if we are ever in the area.

Great location for wall, lovely welcome from owners,rooms very clean and comfortable all you could want.the food amazing, breakfasts delicious, service from all fantastic plus car parking would stay again

Lovely pub up near Hadrian's Wall. Popped in for some tasty food whilst out enjoying the scenery with my husband out on his motorbike

Very nice meal at a reasonable price & good service

Great food, gear atmosphere,great hosts.

The inn keeper was very accommodating. Food was outstanding for pub fare - twice baked cheese and steak and ale pie was out of this world. Included breakfast was traditional and delicious! Comfortable and clean rooms!

Wir hatten Chicken breast und Double Cooked Pork, Beides war delikat und reichlich. Können wir nur empfehlen, ideal auf der Durchreise von Newcastle nach Schottland

Excellent and friendly service 👌

Always lovely. Great service, amazing food. Can't beat it!

Stopped for a quick pint. Lovely ale sat outside a nice pub

Lunch was delicious, everything fresh and homemade. Lovely pub and very welcoming. Highly recommended

A real gem! The staff were first class, so lovely and welcoming, they couldn't enough for us! The bar was great, the food excellent and the rooms ultra comfortable. Superb value for money too, would highly recommend!

The family go most Sundays for a family Sunday dinner and never disappointed. Staff are cheerful, friendly and helpful.

Went here for a family meal with 10 of us. Great food which everyone enjoyed. Recommended.

Whenever we visit the island we head to the Red Lion as the food is always good, the beer well kept, a great wine list and always the friendliest service especially from Hannah and the team! As pubs go this hits the spot, warm and inviting with traditional values and well cooked food without being at all pretentious. The chef kindly had a chat with us about the island provenance of his ingredients, some grown on the pub's own plot. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We want for Sunday lunch after visiting about 6 weeks ago for a bar meal which was superb. The belly pork dish was outstanding. Sunday lunch did not disappoint in the slightest. Lovely starters, and the roast pork and roast beef mains were excellent with plenty of meat, potatoes and fresh vegetables. Great value at the price they charge. Definitely going back in the future.

Fantastic pub .really friendly .we stayed for 1 night after walking .it was nice to come into a warm fire to dry boots. Food was very nice and well made .rooms were nice and clean. A great one stop for them hill walks . Loved the place .some parking outside or just park along the road . Breakfast was freshly made and perfect for a days walk .

Great room, friendly staff, loved the little things in the room, extensions, iron, heater, dryer, etc. Dinner was amazing, breakfast was so tasty. Defo fell in love. Amazing experience and the price, bed and breakfast best ever for £85 for 2 people x

Out of this world food We go every month or so and have the belly pork. I had to tell the chef/ owner it was the best in the world … problem: I never order anything else He told me he had a customer who said the same about the beef pie. So I tried the beef pie. Verdict : as I said to my friend the chef … the beef pie is only eleven out of ten - the belly pork is seventeen out of ten Also … the soufflé is the best in the world too Great little village with nice walks, great beers, lovely staff I wanted to keep it a secret ….

Excellent meal last night. . The twice cooked pork belly was outstanding. The 3 of us that had it all said the same. The rib eye steak was cooked to perfection and also very tasty. Sensible price for a bottle of Pinot Grigio, and a cracking pint of Heineken.!!! We will definitely be going back

Sunday lunch was great, dad loved his scampi. Reasonable prices for food and drink. Staff are lovely.

This place was just amazing. It feels like a 5 star hotel, and the service. The room was large and very comfortably. Superb staff with a smile. And the food was just amazing and very tasteful. Can highly recommend this place.

Propper family run pub. Great food, great service.

Fantastic B&B and great food, recommend staying here if your are visiting Hadrian's Wall

Stayed 1 night. Comfortable room. Excellent dinnrr and good breakfast.

The cod with smoked mussels was outstanding. Highly recommended for dinner. This off the beaten track pub is worth seeking out.

My husband and I had the best meal we’ve had all year at the Red Lion on 29/6 Cheese soufflé to start followed by crispy pork and cheesecake in a jar and fruit crumble to finish All of it was absolutely delicious We live in the Tynedale area and have visited most of the local eateries We usually expect to be disappointed in some aspect of a meal but this was faultless We’ll definitely be back

Love this old world ie country pub built on a bridge too you can sit outside on the other side of the bridge and drink or eat and inside the food is all freshly cooked friendly staff too

We had just arrived for a long weekend break, and for last thing on a Friday evening we were looking for tea out for all of us (and our dog) - Phoned them asking if they had availability, which they did. Headed over and we were welcomed to a lovely bar area, as we had dog with us, which was fine. Drinks were ordered and very nice. Meals also ordered, inclusing starters. The homemade soup went down well with a nice crispy bread roll. and the Pate was lovelly. Mains there were 2 dishes mainly Steak and fries and Salmon and pasta, both were well received and in the steak respect cooked as ordered. Overall it was very friendly and great food (Dog even got some crisps from one of the locals :) ) Would highly recommend paying a visit.

Local produce very well cooked. Good value and friendly service. A hidden gem at the gateway to Hadrian’s Wall and The National Park.

Down to earth locals pub serving a great choice of food and a superb locally brewed real ale. Welcoming and friendly staff.

We ate here twice on a stay nearby. The food is made in-house not your standard pub grub. We had the pies which were excellent.

First impressions is it’s a local pub for local people ( if you get what I’m saying) . However the staff were friendly and the food absolutely delicious. Beer choice limited.

We were staying in the hotel, reviewed separately, and had dinner in the restaurant. Food was very high quality, home made, English pub fare. Service was friendly and welcoming. Ambience pleasant too.

Amazing place to stay and to eat staff where excellent really welcoming food was delicious room was clean and spacious perfect little break for our anniversary

We ate here twice in early July as we explored the area. The food excellent especially the Cheese Souffle which was fantastic.

Sue, Andy and the rest fo the team couldn't have made our 3 day stay better. The Red Lion is the perfect spot for some Roman history and exploration. In the heart of a very peaceful village the pub has wonderful rooms, loads of character...

Used to be an old village pub but brought back to life by the Smith Family.Don't expect a 5 star environment. They have maintained the original features , huge open fire places, belly-up-to bar with locally sourced ales and a warm,friendly welcome. Those are not...

Not even a power cut during the early part of the afternoon put us off. Once power was restored at about 4.30 the staff got the ovens in the kitchen fired up ready to cook the evening meals. The food was first class , well...

A birthday weekend spent here, wow blown away. Friendly staff, excellent service, cosy room with fantastic finishing touches and the food was to die for.

We went to Red Lion with friends and found the food to be not only first class but there was a good selection and good portion sizes. Local food cooked to perfection and served by friendly staff there was also a good selection of locally...

We were staying at a nearby B and B and dropped in here for an evening meal. I had a lamb hotpot and my partner had fish n chips. Both meals were really good and the staff were polite and friendly

In the middle of nowhere, after a long day walking we arrived in this awesome Pub/restaurant. It was the only one in the neighbourhood, or so it seemed. The menu was quite brief, but the food was great! Including the local beers. The price was...

We have visited the Red Lion a number of times now, the welcome has always been friendly and the food consistently excellent, and the beers good too!

We stayed here one night whilst walking the Wall. This is definitely a pub for the locals seeming to be a natural meeting place for a drink at the end of the day, which I quite like. Room was comfortable enough. Breakfast was great. My...

small portions, tired veg - my friend said her meal was like a school dinner - poor quality - absolute rubbish

Went to The Red Lion specifically due to the new vegetarian menu. The cauliflower buffalo wings were soggy and uncooked, with uncooked batter dripping all over the plate. The veggie pie and chips had gravy so thick and jelly like that it wouldn’t pour. All...

Great menu. Great food. Great portions. Great feeling! Just what you might imagine in the English countryside

Had a lovely substantial dinner here. We love our steaks and could actually afford one here - not only that but it was very good. Heaps of vegetables accompanied the steak and a very nice bearnaise sauce. Cooked just as we asked.

Went here for sunday lunch on the basis it was dog friendly. We were greeted & shown to our table in the bar, the food was excellent, beef was tender & cooked through properly, veg was also cooked till tender, not crunchy,

We were staying locally and had the Red Lion recommended to us. We had an enjoyable evening meal in the dining room which has around 7 tables. The food was of good quality and there was a good choice. Prices were OK. Staff friendly.

I believe this is a highly recommended village pub and as such we were looking forward to our meals....this is what happened.....

Went to the vilage for a family holiday for a week and went to the pub for dinner me and my girlfriend had the stake and were both very impressed my family all had different items and where equaly impressed the owners where very welcomeing as where the locals

We were staying in the 4 star Langley Castle Hotel but decided we could not eat there because, on the hottest day of the year, the dining room was overbearing having no A/C, so we sought out The Red Lion and had a lovely meal with exceelent service.

Recommended by the owner of our local B&B; we were pleasantly surprised to find such a varied menu and, the standard of cooking was extremely high.

I walked here from my B&B; on the recommendation of its' owner. Definitely worth the walk.

Wonderful, fresh food, friendly service. We had the catch of the day and it was delicious, as were the vegetables. I only wish that we had had room for desert!

We were a party of four and came for lunch on a week day. The menu was short, but the food was very impressive. We thought the steaks were particularly good and very well served and garnished. Plainly, there’s someone in the kitchen who cares a lot about what he or she is doing. The wine list was again short, but we were pleased by the NZ sauvignon blanc and the Italian cabernet. Service was a bit slow, but that’s understandable if a small establishment is doing things properly.

We were staying nearby and wanted to book somewhere offering a varied, interesting menu for dinner. The Red Lion did not disappoint! There were four of us at dinner and we all had difficulty selecting from the menu because the choice was so good. The quality of the food was fantastic and was good value. Although the pub was quiet on the evening we were there, there was still a lovely atmosphere and the service was very good. We were so impressed, we took a card with a view to booking a room for a stay next time we visit!

We stayed for 3 days and ate twice in the restaurant, the food is sublime, the menu brief and excellent meaning everything is freshly cooked and the specials we tried were beatiful

We took our girls, 21 & 24, away for the weekend to Newbrough. Glorious countryside and stayed at the Secret Garden. This was only a minute's walk from the Red Lion where we went for Saturday night dinner.

Classic pub with a varied menu selection, food was great, easy to find and accessible. Our hostess and waitstaff were welcoming and attentive. Could have done without the stinky dogs roaming beneath the tables but nothing another pint couldn't help to overlook.

Warm and welcoming, lively pub with small dining room. Staff attentive and reasonable selection of food and plentiful on the plate.

We had two lovely dinners at the Red Lion, particularly enjoying the lamb shanks on the second evening, with nicely cooked fresh vegetables. The waiter was particularly nice - friendly and efficient. We sampled two of the real ales on offer and enjoyed both of them, as well as a bottle of pinot grigio with our friend on the first evening.

Just a one night stay whilst up in the area on business. Very friendly place and people. The room was very clean and comfortable. Attention to detail in the room was great, ie; pod coffee machine, bottled water, ample other hot drink options, good soaps and thick towels. All in all a pleasurable overnight stay.
