The Robin Hood Inn in Northumberland

For some reason we had not been here for some time and walking through the doors on a dark and windy Halloween evening immediately wondered why not? The food choice and quality is top class. As are the friendly and very efficient staff - both in the restaurant and at the bar. While the decor and ambience is everything you could hope for in a lovely country pub, restaurant and hotel. Excellent value too. We felt welcomed and treated in a special place where the staff - front of house and kitchen - made that extra effort to ensure everyone went home with a smile on their face. Well done to all involved.

Local típico, muy agradable, en el camnio del Muro de Adriano. Buenos dulces y muy buena atención. Parada indudable en el camino

If you are heading to the Robin Hood Inn for Dinner, a few drinks or Breakfast. Rest assued I am confident you will have a great time. Evening Meal, Ale and breakfast I received were excellent. Service was great and cost were fair for the quality and location. However, if you are staying in the lodges and weather is not perfect, I would suggest reconsidering. It was raining on my visit, not that exceptional for the area. I was shown the accommodation which looked fine. Twin Beds, small but functioning shower / WC room. A bit chilly, but the heating was then switched on and radiators started to warm up. Shame this was not done a short while before we arrived, but costs and emissions do need to be considered. I pointed out the leaking roof that had water dripping onto the carpet. This was "explained" by the fact that it had been raining!! No thought of an apology if no alternative room was possible due to other bookings. The host left the lodge. Having kiked from Newcastle my choices were limited. So I opted to place the bin under the leak to minimise the damp in the room and used the tray for the coffee and tea satchets to catch water from the second leak. At the very good evening meal, I found that our recently met Amercian fellow hikers also had a leaking lodge and had a simialr customer service experience. At breakfast the following morning - thankfully the rain stopped in the night, I was asked how my stay was going, I extolled the food and drink and at least this member of the staff was genuinely shocked to hear about the leaks.... shame they were not working the Monday night! Great place to eat and drink, only stay in lodges during warm summer months unless you have your own bucket.

A fabulous Sunday lunch here today (13 Oct), Great atmosphere, food beautifully cooked and served by a fantastic co-ordinated team. Thoroughly recommend.

My wife and I stayed here for a night while walking The Hadrian’s Wall Path, the pub being ideally located on the route. We stayed in one of their log cabins behind the pub which was clean and very comfortable with full central heating and everything you would expect in a good hotel room. The restaurant was good with excellent food and friendly, welcoming staff. (The popularity of the restaurant was clearly demonstrated by how full it was considering the pub is in the middle of nowhere!). Breakfast was superb. Recommended.

The staff are really nice and friendly The place probably needs a refurb, even if it is a country pub. The Sunday dinners look pretty good but for 18 quid the beef really should be a little pink.. otherwise what are you paying 18 quid for. The belly of pork .... Just take it off the menu, the joy of the dish is some crispy fat that is edible. Unfortunately it looked like it had been cooked on the radiator and the fat was just rubber, for 18 quid that isn't good enough by any stretch. The choc fudge cake is half the size I have ever had in any other restaurant, come on, its shop bought, for 7-8 quid it's criminal.

Fantastic Sunday roast. Staff very welcoming and ensure your visit is a first class experience! We are here from the normal menu a few days ago too. Fantastic value for money too. Highly recommend!

Wow What a fantastic Inn Food is outstanding Atmosphere - brilliant Staff - very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly

A really lovely place to stay (we enjoyed the lodges) and all the staff are so very kind and helpful, it made a great trip for us. We had a really good dinner too.

We had lunch to celebrate our sons 50th. Food was absolutely amazing. Staff are very caring and friendly. This is definitely our place of eating in the future. Fantastic pub.

Warm welcome from the bar staff on entering. There is a good feel to the bar area and it was busy even on a Monday lunchtime. The lady (licencee/owner?) was also pleasant and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The halloumi and red pepper sandwich is recommended and the sweets looked excellent. The establishment is very much out on its own and would be good for a quiet night away, as they do have rooms.

Great food served by really helpful, friendly staff. A typical pub atmosphere, inviting and comfortable Good prices especially for the quality of food served

Visited here for lunch today when walking the Hadrian’s Wall path- it’s located on the section from Chollerford to Heddon on the Wall. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. We both ordered a sandwich from their lunch menu and both were really delicious. I couldn’t recommend more, especially for walkers in need of a rest, a drink and a good meal.

Fab stay in one of the lodges. Great dinner and breakfast. Outstandingly friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend staying here.

Dog friendly pub perfect for walking the Hadrian's Way. We stayed one night and the room was enormous with and equally giant cosy bed. We had access to a bath and shower en suite and also a dry room with washing machine and tumble dryer. We had dinner there as well and the fish and chips were exceptional.

My partner and I rang up at around 3pm on a Friday to see if Robin Hood Inn had any available tables for that evening. Thankfully there was! Even though we live quite near to this lovely pub, we've never been - and what a lovely surprise! The staff were very friendly, accommodating & helpful (when trying to decide between all the many appetising choices on the menu!) The service was very quick considering how busy it was, and the food was the best food we've had in a long time! Super tasty and full of flavour. My partner had the 'Drunken beef brisket chilli' which was scrumptious, and I had the buttermilk chicken burger which again, was really really tasty! The tables were spread out so we felt very safe (Covid-19 related) and the place was very clean. My partner & I will return eagerly very soon!

Great food at a good price. We visited twice over late May Bank Holiday. The beef chilli and the curry were very tasty. The pie of the day had nice chunks of meat . Friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Went with a baby and dog and was warmly welcomed. The service in the marquee was fantastic and the food was excellent. I'd particularly recommend the steak pie.

Went for our first Sunday lunch out for month's and didn't fail to disappoint eating in the marquee was a bit novel.

My partner and I had lunch here today, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff were all really lovely & friendly, very attentive and we felt extremely safe and at ease.We had the Robin Hood burger, the chicken burger & a bowl of homemade onion rings. Everything was delicious and hot, and it’s extremely well priced! After not being out since last year properly it was wonderful to have such a positive and delicious meal! We will definitely be back :).Thank you!(Pink Gin lady) x

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, without a booking, we were shown to a table straight away in bar area as we had our dog. Staff were very accommodating and friendly , Sunday lunch ( beef) was lovely, all hot and fresh and a generous amount of beef which was cooked so well. Overall a really lovely experience for an unexpected visit, would definitely visit again if on the area! COVID-19 guidelines all fully adhered to and we felt comfortable and welcomed during our visit.

We have just been for a meal today at Robin Hood Inn. They have everything in place for COVID-19. We scanned the barcode as we entered the pub and then straight to a sanatising station. We wore our masks until we were seated. Louise took our drink order and gave us time to look at the menu.We ordered potato bravas starter and vegetable spring roll. They all arrived piping hot and very tasty.Our mains followed shortly after with a top up of drinks. There was plenty of choice on the pudding menu only the Irish cream cheesecake...... my choice had just sold out but the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake was a good second choice.We will definitely return to this establishment.

Our car broke down and just made it into the car park. The landlord was so helpfull whilst I was on the phone organising help. The COVID restrictions were excellent which gave confidence to eat there whilst we waited for the car to be fixed.The food was excellent and just what we needed. We had the light bite menu as we did not know how long we had but both our sandwhich's were very filling and the side order of chips was excellent. Unfortunatley I could not sample any of the real ales but there looked a good selection from the local brewery.

Good Sunday Dinner in the marquee. Although perhaps daunting at first, the marquee was wonderfully decorated to the extent that it felt homely like you were in the pub. Hand sanitisation and other Covid19 protocols in good show here alongside the incredibly helpful staff who greeted us right away.Sunday Dinner superb farmhouse style with extras thrown in (good yorkshires). Good speedy service.

Lovely staff, great service, delicious food. Steak. Onion rings & fries were amazing. Would definitely go back.

Visited the Robin Hood Inn for our first post lockdown pub meal out and can’t recommend it enough! The whole experience was fantastic, clear & safe procedures around safety, one way system etc. Food was amazing and excellent value for money, proper home cooked meals, plenty of choice and best of all for us we were allowed to bring our little pooch into the bar area, we will definitely be back soon!

Lamb dinner were canny beer fine but. Misses had pork meat ok veg fine but the crackling were greasy. And inedible. Shame cos rest were fine. Maybe of day

Our first trip to a pub since lockdown and first trip out for the puppy. Service was spot on and all strictly controlled but in a really relaxed way. Food was delicious too! So glad to be back visiting this fabulous spot! Thank you Louise and Trina for a lovely evening.

We called into our favourite pub today and were met with the same warm welcome as usual, yes times have changed but the RHI has done a fantastic job following the Corvid 19 guide lines. Sanitation station when you enter though the front door, a one way system is in place around the pub, table orders taken but no standing at the bar one way into the toilet and another way back, the two metre rule applies as everywhere. The food and beer are as good if not better than before and the welcoming faces of the owners and staff put a smile on my face. Lets all get back to this lovely country pub and start enjoying are leisure time again safely. RHI you have been a massive miss.

Amazing food and very pleasant staff. Great value for money. My chilli was unbelievable and my partners pie was really lovely too (mine was so much better though). Good social distancing measures, place super clean and with good vibe

To you all ,stay safe and well,and we will as soon as we are able to be back,thinking about you all,Love the Henderson’s xxx

Great pub, very friendly host who was very flexible to ensure my father who was celebrating his 93rd Birthday received good and suitable food ( which was not even on the menu) . Our own meals came off the evening menu and were well presented and tasty .

A fantastic Burns night once again!The food is always outstanding but to deliver that quality of food to that many tables all at once is amazing!! Bar staff and waitresses so friendly and accommodating always lovely to see Louise’s happy smiling face!!brilliant night.

What a fantastic night,Very warm welcome,cozy and an amazing atmosphere .The food was outstanding wonderful tastes.presentation stunning.Service and the organisation of 83 covers was like a military operation,faultless.All courses from my salmon, haggis ,fish and dessert...wonderful.The piper amazing, being from a Scottish family, I always get emotional when I hear the pipes.Mam always feels ‘ homesick’.The addressing of the Haggis was superb.(wish it was done in a true Scottish form) lol..But it was still wonderful.Your team worked so well together, from the bar to the waiters fantastic, and hats off to the amazing,wonderful chefs and kitchen staff you have.Kath and Billy you deserve the highest reward for having an amazing place ,with staff that most places would love to have ,keep a hold of them...Specially Claire as Dad really loves her compassion and care she shows him.as do the rest of the family.Highly recommend the Robin Hood to anyone, fit, healthy,or with any form of a disability, the care and support they give is truly from the bottom of their hearts,An amazing find. But don’t tell everyone as it will get to busy..x.Love from the Henderson’s .

Called in as a spur of the moment choice, arriving just after opening time. A warm welcome and thankfully able to accommodate even though w had not booked. Both had a Sunday lunch, one beef and the other shoulder of lamb. Quite canny and we both commented on a pleasant selection of vegetables. We were both happy with our meal, may return but being so close to home it does not fit our usual pattern of day out. Pleased to have visited.

Popped in Sunday hoping we might be luck to find a table, the car park was full always a good sign.On entering the bar I couldn’t see a table the place was buzzing we were greeted by a young barman that gave us the choice of two table brought a menu and took our drinks order.I must say your wine was very enjoyable.I had the beef my husband chicken which came with a good selection of vegetables Yorkshire pud and delicious gravy.We enjoyed it so much we took friends back a few days later and again had a warm welcome from staff and a exceptional meal.Thank you we will certainly be back.

Having visited this premises numerous times, eaten there regularly and left good reviews we were treated in the most appalling manner tonight. A very rude barman insisted on seeking ID from adult son and refusing service even though he was there with his 50 something parents for a meal. Learn the licensing law and some manners!

A little way out but absolutely delicious food reasonably priced. Well worth a visit..Thank you we will be back

stayed here for one night as was attending a wedding at a nearby venue. rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Fully recommend.

After much consultation with my Head Taster (My Grandson) we decided the time had come for one of our weekly food nights to make a return to the Robin Hood.Everything was the same as the last time we visited, Warmly atmosphere, Well welcomed by the friendly staff, We had the same waitress as last time, excellent & nothing had changed much except this time it was freezing outside but cosy & warm inside along with the same expensive Beer Prices.Joking apart this time we decided to try the Beef & Chicken Share Platter. A great choice with more than enough for the two of us. Nicely cooked tender Beef. Nicely Flavoured Chicken Wings & this time although I only reluctantly order Chips but these ones here were really nicely cooked. Crispy outside & lovely & soft in.We ended up with the New York Cheese Cake with Cream. It was nice but still rate the cheese cakes of local chef Peter Douglas as being the Cheese cake which I set my comparison Bench Mark to be. Compared to Peter's 7 / 10. Still not a bad mark.It was a very enjoyable night had by all.Would I go back: Definitely in fact my Grandson went back the next night for the Steak Night.Would I recommend: Without a Doubt. Good Food, Good Quality Food.

A very warm welcome in a charming country inn . Attentive friendly staff who were helpful in deciding what to eat Food was delicious and well presented Wish we lived nearer to visit more often

Me and my husband spent one night at the robin hood it was very very nice . We had a few drinks in the comfortable and old style decorated bar . Then had some food which was amazing so much better than we expected and very reasonable price . The rendang curry was particularly great compliments to the chef . Then we were so full and tired we were off to bed and what can I say ....very clean room very comfy bed and a great well needed sleep for me and my husband . We went for breakfast at 9.30 next morning and were greeted with a very tasty locally sourced full english which was fantastic . The staff were very friendly and helpful and nice to chatt to . I would be back again and again

Family birthday evening. Atmosphere is great but the portions are very small. I had the chicken, to be honest more like a sparrow. Very salty too. One of our party had duck, very overdone, did not make a Fuss as did not wkat to upset our evening.

Visited this lovely little friendly pub quite a few times & we decided to stay for the night fir the hubby’s birthday. This place is amazing the owner kath & billy are lovely lovely people as are all the staff!!! The food we had was delicious & the breakfast was just as appetising. I would truly recommend this lovely pub can’t wait to go again.

Vwey disapppinted with our food last night at this pub. Sitted in a booth for two of us with very bright lights shining down on us. Our food was terrible my husband a burger with chips the chips had eyes on them not very appealing at all. I had salmon which came with 3 coloured carrots which tasted dreadful and looked awful. Skin on the salmon still. Not good value we will not be returning.

Excellent pub. We has the double room, which is really big with lots of space and a big bath (needed after a long walking day). People are welcoming and the food and the beer are excellent.

Stopped here while walking the wall. It is literally on the track.we had originally booked a log cabin but got upgraded to a room in the inn thanks to a cancellation. The staff are just lovely, and we really enjoyed drinks and then a tasty dinner downstairs. The room was clean, shower only, no tub. Quiet night's sleep then a tasty breakfast in the bay window of the inn allowed us to imagine being anywhere in time. The bar is dog friendly, an added plus to those of us missing out doggie friends. Definitely worth the stop!

Having walked all morning, we were pleased to arrive at this inn. The welcome was very friendly. We ordered the soup and a sandwich. Soup was piping hot and home made. Sandwiches were freshly made and generously filled.

I have eaten here several times in the past but the menu appears to have changed recently with far more pickles and Kimchi appearing on several dishes. I had the gin and tonic salmon starter which has lemon and tonic jelly, pickled potatoes. I have to say that it was quite acetic, I am not sure if there was a dressing on the leaves which was largely vinegar but I was glad that there were new potatoes to balance the taste of the vinegar. The potatoes did not appear to be pickled and the lemon and tonic jelly was more of a smear, however, having said all of that the salmon was lovely and the dish overall was quite nice. I then had the chicken burger which was a chicken fillet with monterrey jack cheese, salad, kimchi, pickles, siracha mayonnaise. Again the taste of the burger was unusual but not unpleasant. I did get the feeling that the chef was maybe trying a bit too hard to be different but not quite hitting the mark. My husband had gammon and he thoroughly enjoyed that. Sometimes simple is best.Although I have rated this as very good I think it leans more towards good but better than average.

Stopped here one evening as part of our Hadrian's Wall Path walk. Staff welcoming and helpful. Food, however indifferent. The menu was a very odd mix of grill type fare (gammon, steak, burgers etc) and aspiring posh dishes that didn't quite mix. Not much there for vegetarians (one choice). Soup was tasty but came with a tiny portion of 'artisan' bread which tasted of nothing. (It needed a chunk of crusty something!) The tart was equally minuscule- think jam tart and you get the size. OH had gammon which was ok but chips skinny and greasy. All in all disappointing for the money. We didn't return even though we had the chance the following day.

Excellent bar staff,location of Inn and ok food. However the manager seemed a little on the dour side!

Recently submitted a review about an establishment I have visted once and realised I have never submitted a review about an establishment I am lucky enough to live near to and visit regulary.

Made an impromptu booking for one night whilst walking the wall, the Inn is located on the roman road alongside the National Trail Path (Hadrians Wall). Arrived to very friendly staff and manager. Twin room was lovely and to a high specification, facilities were clean and well equipped. Bed was very comfortable.

Tasteless food, manager made aware of our comments and didn't even come to speak to us! Horrendous food and customer service! £60 and all we ate was the starter! Had to go eat elsewhere after. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone, in fact I’d do the opposite!

Lovely Sunday lunch and food cooked to perfection. Great place if you want to take your dog. Not so great if you’re not a big fan of dogs. Our visit was cut short by the fact it had been raining and one dog near us had a powerful odour! Not the pubs fault but as I said great place to take your dog - however please be mindful of folks who don’t have dogs and don’t want your dog lying around your table.

The first thing to emphasise is that the quality of my room far exceeded my expectations of an isolated rural pub. Even though it was hidden up the back stairs next - one would assume - to the owners' accommodation, it was of 4* hotel quality: a huge, comfortable bed, luxurious bathroom, large TV and plenty of space to spread out. Having walked 20 miles of Hadrian's Wall I was especially grateful for this luxury. Evening meal was also impressive. The pork and stilton pie could have done with more stilton, but was nevertheless enjoyable. And the pulled-beef chilli was similarly tasty, hugely filling and very good value. Service was friendly and attentive which continued the next morning at breakfast. Sadly my sleep was interrupted in the small hours by some dubious merriment. The room overlooks a busy B-road so some traffic noise is inevitable, and on the evening I stayed (the day before the UK's hottest ever day!) opening the window was a no-brainer. However around 3am I was awoken by some nocturnal activity involving men and at least one female in cars. I cannot say for certain that 'dogging' was going on, but the coming and going (stop sniggering at the back!) over the course of 15 minutes was a nuisance and I struggled in the humidity to get back to sleep. The Robin Hood Inn is an impressive pub / hotel; the merry men who frequented its car park in the small hours I could do without.

Staying here solo for a friend's wedding locally and had such a warm welcome here. The staff were very friendly and very welcoming. The room was nice with a great shower. Breakfast was the perfect start to a long journey home. It was brill. Lovely stay here. The staff are ace. Highly recommended.

I came here with a group of 20 ladies for an evening meal. We were greeted warmly on a rainy night. The service was excellent from our waitress who had loads of patience with some of the more elderly ladies. The meal was lovely and everyone enjoyed their chosen dish. Would defiantly return as its a nice run out.

En PUB på vandringsleden Hadrians Wall Path. Goda lunchrätter och ett stort urval av öl och andra drycker. Snabb servering av trevlig personal.

Really disappointed with food. Chicken fillet was small and tasteless, veg wasn't much better, bland. The gravy was weak and runny. Chips were skinny, greasy and tasteless and I ended up leaving most of them. The peas weren't heated through properly with some of them just warm.

Typical pub serving a range of food and beers with rooms. Decor is a bit dated but it was comfortable for a night's stay on the Hadrian's Wall Path. There was a shower over the bath and plenty of space in the room.

Visited with my husband for Sunday lunch after his friend recommended it to us and I’m so glad we did. It’s a bit of a drive away but it’s certainly worth it. Beautiful views and inside the pub is also lovely. Very spacious and tables aren’t crammed together which is great. Staff are friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Lunch itself was beautiful. Very generous portion and the turnip was amazing. My husband paid extra to get a large portion of beef and said it was the nicest meat he has had on a Sunday lunch. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Enjoyed a wonderful meal here, full of taste, excellently presented, and great beers, all really enjoyed. Staff are friendly and really good too.

Family wedding weekend stay was fabulous, hosts & staff were all very friendly & nothing was too much trouble, great food in restaurant & breakfasts were fresh with good produce. Lovely welcoming pub.

Wonderful food, good service and lovely surroundings, what a change from the last owners. Highly recommend

Very welcoming staff at this friendly pub. Reasonable menu choice and a range of good beers. Very handy for the walking route.

We stayed here on our second night of walking the Hadrian's Wall Path and we were very impressed. Our room was lovely and exceeded our expectations of a pub hotel.

Staff are extremely friendly and can't do enough for you. The food is exceptional and well worth the price.

A group of us walked the wall and staff were so helpful throughout . Two of the group left there car at the pub in the morning and had a coffee and staff were so accommodating and we were able to leave the car as we were returning for a meal in the evening.

Stayed here for family wedding nearby, rooms lovely and clean and bed very comfy. Full English breakfast and couldnt fault a thing. Staff amazing, nothing a bother kept topping up tea,coffee, orange or anything else you required...Thankyou to all staff for making up very welcome

tried the Robin Hood after hearing good things, and we are pleased we did. the staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered drinks while deciding what to order food wise, plenty choice available. the meal was superb and plentiful. meat was tender and the veg to me was cooked well. good choice of deserts also available. the pub is quite big and busy so best to book beforehand. there is a large beer garden at the back which will be great in the summer. will definitely be back and would recommend.

Stayed over for One night. Very friendly, helpful & good service. Rooms excellent for the price. Food really good as well. If you are in the area I would absolutely recommend a visit!

Stayed at this hotel whilst attending a wedding nearby on Good Friday. We cannot express how friendly and welcoming the staff were on our arrival. Our room was immaculate (Room 1), with tea/coffee, hairdryer and toiletries provided. Bed was extremely comfortable. We chose to have full English breakfast and toast with fresh coffee (and refills) and orange juice. Gorgeous! On leaving we bought some freshly made lemon scones which were delicious . The Inn appeared to have a lot of walkers stay. Dogs were made most welcome when people turned up for a meal with them. We would definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending.

Myself and my daughter stayed over here midway through our Hadrian’s Wall walk. It’s directly on the route so no need to get taxis or lifts to and from the official path. We were very tired and hungry after it was nearly dark when we arrived and, although they had no record of our reservation through booking.com (which they later found), they couldn’t have been more helpful, clearly used to dealing with tired and hungry walkers! The food was hearty and delicious and was just what the doctor ordered! Next to our room upstairs, there was a small self-serving kitchen and, although we didn’t because we were too tired, the facilities are there to wash and/or dry muddy clothes and boots. Breakfast in the morning was served at our same table in the bar. An Inn recommended for tired and hungry walkers!

I was lucky enough to go back to the Robin Hood with my husband for lunch on Mother's Day as a special treat from my son and daughter in law. Once again, I was not disappointed : the meal was really delicious and well presented. In spite of how busy the restaurant was, the staff were unfailingly cheerful and welcoming. Lots of families here for today obviously but no long wait for our meal. A really good experience!

Been here a few times now and it’s consistently good. The food is quick, plentiful and obviously homemade, and the atmosphere is that of a cosy traditional English pub. The staff are always pleasant - can’t go wrong! Will definitely be back :)

Beautiful, typically English pub with warm, cozy atmosphere, lovely ambience and excellent food. Service was top class and the staff lovely which made the whole evening perfect. Doesn’t get much better!!!

On recommendation, we called in, on the off chance we could get a table. We were greeted by a lovely gentlemen who offered a bay window table straight away. It had literally just become available and wiped down. We sat down and got table service within minutes. Ordered 2 roast dinners, pork and lamb. They arrived shortly after our drinks order. I think we were in and out within half an hour.

Went as a group of 7 for a Birthday meal, requested a quiet corner as one of our party has a hearing loss, we were sat in a private dining room which was idea as it did not have piped music and ensured we could all be heard.

We were staying at Matfen Hall and drove past this on the way in so thought we'd give it a try. Lovely welcoming atmosphere and food was beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Not been here before, but pass the place regularly and always wanted to visit. Had the chance this past week, so popped in. There are a few craft ales plus regular generic beers. Lots of tables for diners, open fires, bit dark inside, but welcoming. Lunch time menu, reasonable selection, went for the pie of the day, which comes with chips and mushy peas, plus small fish and chips. Only waited about 10 mins before food arrived, when it did it was piping hot. However the pie was small, about the size of a scotch pie if you know what they are, or if not a pie about less than 3 inches round about inch and half deep, peas were in a small pot on the side. I’ve no idea why restaurants do this apart from portion control, but again not a lot and what there where, where on the dry side. Chips were home made but nothing special, fish (ordered small portion which is good to see on a menu) was pretty tasteless. Drives me crackers the way we can’t do decent fish living so close to the North Sea. Pie casing was hard (cracked when trying to press fork in) possibly due to be being over cooked when warming up? Thankfully there was a small jug of gravy which was ok. Contents of the pie (steak and ale) was again ok, but a bit dry, and not tasting much of ale, probably about a large tablespoon of filling. The biggest problem I had with the meal (apart from the not so great quality) was the cost, £13 for a small pie, small portion peas and chips. If the food had been high quality then I could understand the price, but it wasn’t. Big disappointment, it’s not difficult to do a good moist pie, crisp chips, meaty gravy and a dollop of peas.

We have a pub meal every Friday evening and as we were in the area, thought we’d try the Robin Hood. The dining area is nicely laid out, as is the bar, and there’s a very good selection of beers. However the food was not at all special and disappointing for the price. Compared with equivalent quality elsewhere I think the main courses are probably at least £3 more than they should be. One other comment...the gents toilet next to the bar is particularly poor and unhygienic

We called in here for lunch it was lovely food and a very cosy place friendly staff too can highly recommend a visit

I was working nearby and on a recommendation I popped in for a light lunch. Absolutely superb, the surroundings were lovely, the food was delicious and the service swift and friendly. And what a beautiful location.

Found this nice warm and relaxing pub on our way to Matfren Hall Hotel. Staff were very pleasant and the food was lovely. Definatley recommend

We decided to go a bit further afield today & ended up at the Robin Hood Inn. There was a very warm welcome. We chose the Sunday lunch menu, in the bar area. Food was first class & served promptly. Huge platefuls, (next time we will ask for the smaller plate). Everything perfectly cooked. The only “drawback” was that there was a couple with a dog at the next table. The dog was well behaved, but I had to keep well away, due to an allergy. I could have asked them to sit elsewhere, but felt that wasn’t very nice. A super place and a nice drive now we are looking forward to Spring

The staff of the Robin Good are tireless in maintaining a wonderful experience for their guests.

Stopped here one night to see The Unthanks at nearby Matfen Hall. Fantastic cosy, welcoming traditional Inn so handy for Corbridge, Hexhan and Newcastle. Twin room and breakfast £60 - incredible value. Staff were so lovely.

Only my second time visiting, it certainly won’t be the last. Walked into a very welcoming pub, both the atmosphere and staff. There were three of us, we all had burgers and they were all delicious.

The biggest asset here are the staff closely followed by the excellent food. We love coming here, always a great welcome and Sunday lunch is superb, very fresh and quality meats. Very good range of ales and a keg craft pale ale too, top marks Robin Hood.

Can i just start by saying that this place came to me as a high recommendation by family & friends who have been frequenting its delights, for years. Why it took me so long ill never know, but i will certainly be a regular from now on, that's for sure!

We went for lunch Sunday as a treat before we all go mad with the Xmas preparation after being recommended by a work colleague, so what do I say but just WOW how has it took us so long to visit this place .

Went on Sunday with the family for lunch. Myself and another family member had the prawn and salmon starter. Have been ill ever since with diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea and a fever!! Horrendous!

Just had an early Christmas lunch with three friends and I couldn’t fault the service, the atmosphere or the food. Will definitely be going back.

Just been for lunch with the family as we do most Sunday afternoons. Unfortunately two of our group had the prawn starter and both are now suffering from food poisoning.

Those of us staying over the night before the Wedding at Matfen Hall decided to eat at the Robin Hood, we rang in advance to arrange our booking as there was 20 of us, always advisable if there’s a large number in your party.

We booked a table at the Robins Hood Inn for the night before my wedding. The service was excellent and the food A+. The team catered to all of our dietary requirements and we had a lovely laidback meal and drinks before the big day.

Lovely stay, we stayed in the twin room,spotlessly clean and nice big fluffy white towels.We also ate in the restaurant nd both our meals were lovely. Can’t recommend highly enough. Staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Brilliant!! Great service, great food, great atmosphere and great prices. Loved it. Would make it our local but its 250 miles away!!!

As part of our organized UK coach trip, our first stop along Hadrian's Wall was the Robin Hood Inn. Given there were forty of us and it was a cold and rainy day, the staff performed admirably! The vegetable soup was some of the best I've ever had and the cheese sandwich was very tasty and fresh. I also tasted my first scone there. If we would have had more time, I can assure you that there would be more. The atmosphere is what you might expect in a northern pub and inn, including a full complement of beers. Complete with the locals and their sleepy dogs, the ambiance was very authentic and real. This is a fun place that should not be missed if traveling north.
