The Twice Brewed Inn in Northumberland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Four of us and three dogs visited last week both for Sunday dinner and recovery chips and drinks after doing a length of the wall. Service, staff and food brilliant. Thoroughly recommended. Hard bit - leaving!

Although the food was amazing it’s more the FOH staff i have the issue with unfortunately. Stood a good 5/10mins before anyone noticed us and then to see then stood at the bar? The servers all looked about 14 and didn't look they knew what they were doing? Rushing around, jumping table to table with orders, i’m surprised the kitchen could keep up! They didn't know which beers/ales/ lagers they were selling. Staff standing around bar area chatting in a group not very clear who were the managers out of the older staff as they all looked a bit lost and flustered to honest! Oh and tall muscular bald guy stomping almost throwing his weight around looking very unapproachable serving the meals was something else, maybe he was the manager he looked stressed. Struggled to get their attention for bill but eventually got it and they had the cheek to put a service charge on! I don't mind leaving a tip but i decide how much and when deserved, based on the food alone 100% deserved the amount they were asking but the service is the deal breaker, i paid it purely for the chefs they outshone the front and we didn’t even see them

I wish we could rate this as 5/5 given how nice the staff were. But the pub offers poor food and atmosphere, despite its high profile. It has a brewery, and yet on the evening that we just wished to drink their beer, we were only allowed to sit outside, and on a chilly evening. We ate in the pub twice, and had some meals that were fairly nice (there were 5 in our party), but most didn’t come up to scratch. As we encountered overseas tourists walking a leg of Hadrian’s Wall, and heading for Twice Brewed for the night, I winced at the thought of the English fare they would encounter. Disappointing, almost an exploitation of the captive audience. Other pubs in prime locations do better.

We (4 couples) stayed here two nights while hiking Hadrian's Wall Path (booked by Hillwalk Tours). The staff was very accommodating allowing us to use their laundry facilities. We enjoyed two breakfasts and dinners here and all were excellent. They also prepared bag lunches for our walk. Their brewery was very good. A great stop for our rest day on our walk and very close to Vindolanda Roman Fort.

Stayed here for a night as part of the star gazing event (excellent). The rooms are very comfortable, with a warm and welcoming appearance. Lovely bathroom products and excellent shortbread! The food in the restaurant was absolutely fantastic; I had their famous pie and it was honestly the best pie I have ever eaten. Clearly home made and utterly delicious; the beef was so tender, perfect pastry and amazing gravy. I had with skinny fries, which again were absolutely perfect. Faultless. The desserts were utterly divine too. Service was excellent - the staff were very friendly and were clearly working their socks off in a full restaurant, hats off to them. Had an excellent full breakfast the following morning; there was also fruit, yoghurt, pastries, cereal and toast on offer. Once again, wonderful staff who were very friendly, such a warm Northumbrian welcome. I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again; an excellent location and wonderful, friendly service; what’s not to love.

A fantastic experience. They welcomed 36 soggy cold teenagers for the Euro final, sorting us an area to watch football as a group. Could not have been more welcoming and friendly. We're super nice about multiple children ordering one drink each. Wonderful staff and exceptional service. Would recommend! Thanks to all, it made our day!

Dog friendly. Great food and lovely atmosphere.

What a warm welcome on a wet day. We popped in with our dogs after a walk on a rain swept afternoon for late lunch. We received a very warm welcome from the staff, who throughout our visit were thoughtful and friendly. We ordered Cumberland sausage with mash and a trio of pork for mains. Both dishes were beautiful and skillfully made. Desert was just as special, their divine pecan pie with ice-cream was superb. What a fantastic place, the food, wonderful staff and service, what more needs said.

We stayed here with our dog for 3 nights to do a little hiking in the area. We were greeted very warmly at check-in and small questions were answered promptly and nicely. The rooms are well equipped for a B&B and are also reasonably large. We had a small problem with the TV, which was resolved very quickly on our first evening out with the dog. 👍 The breakfast and dinner at the B&B is excellent. The price for the room and the food is reasonable. Thank you for your hospitality during our visit.

A nice pub and brewery with a wide selection of craft beers. Anything from a typical ale to an exotic fruity sour - something for everyone. Great place to stop for a refreshment if you're out walking along Hadrian's Wall!

Our latest visit was for lunch on a murky Monday. Well, it was July. As ever the service was excellent from start to finish and the food terrific. A menu of wide choice from snacks to full meals. All delicious. With a seriously impressive choice of drinks at the bar should you be lucky enough not to be driving. The Twice Brewed Inn is always superb and never disappoints. To find such excellence in such an amazing location makes it even more special.

We’ve been here before quite a few years ago, it was pretty rough and ready then, not so now! Lovely food in a smart restaurant, great beers from their own brewery. Not sure about the atmosphere now, big television kills conversation, staff putting chairs upside down on tables at 10.20pm when the website says 11pm closing not very good.

Great location at Steel Rigg. Only Hotel on the Hadrian's Wall Path that had a drying room. Food was great and their self-brewed beer very delicious

Glad we booked a table, it was busy. Husband happy because TVs had the football on and the beer on tap was good. They definitely looked short staffed but the food was great and the staff were efficient and friendly. Would definitely go back.

Went camping for the beer festival. Seemed to be quite disorganised and the field that we were told to camp in, was full of sheep / cow poo. Could of at least cleaned that up somewhat.

We ate here before attending the star gazing in the same location. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The men in our party were even more impressed as the football was being shown. Would definitely recommend.

I stopped here for dinner after a long day walking. I’m quite passionate about pizza so wasn’t expecting it to be up to my high standards. I think it was probably the best pizza I’ve ever had. The dough was perfectly airy and the topping amazing. Hopefully the chef will see this as I should have given my compliments when in the pub but didn’t.

We stayed for 2 nights, in a very comfortable and clean room. The staff were lovely and very helpful in all areas. We had our evening meal on the Friday in the restaurant and it was excellent. The portions were very generous too. We have visited before, but we came this time for the beer festival which was a great success. I highly recommend the Twice Brewed Inn to walkers or people looking for a well run hotel with good food and drinks.

I was lucky enough to be there for a beer and wine tasting event. The choice and variety offered was spectacular and I would certainly be returning.

Cold pints, fast service, and good food!

Gorgeous place, gorgeous food! lovely outdoor pods we enjoyed with the dogs 🙂🙂

Great place for a cold beer whilst walking the wall.

Nice pub with a lovely beer garden in the back with a great view. Lots of different beers. Didn't have any food but the crisps were nice 🙂!

Lovely pub, had a great meal here while walking The Pennine Way.

Excellent base to park and explore hadrians wall then lunch before home.

Recently came here for lunch and beer after walking parts of the Hadrian Wall. Nice menu with lots to offer. Staff members were friendly amd welcoming. Food was fresh, warm and tasted great!

A nice 2 nights stay while walking to JOG. Fabulous large drying room. Very tasty meals. Generous breakfast. Bus stop if you wished to travel on a day off to sightsee. Friendly staff. A brewery on site. What else is needed…

Lovely modern pub with good food and excellent beer.

Stopped for lunch as the boy was hungry. We liked it so much we went back for dinner!

Lovely place to stop for a meal along Hadrian's Wall.

Perfect in every way... simple as that.

Lovely pub, service was efficient, but disappointed with Sunday roast. I had lamb and my husband had beef but neither tasted of anything. Veggies under cooked and mashed potato was gloopy. So disappointed.

I had a fantastic stay at The Twice Brewed Inn at Once Brewed. They offer a fabulous range of beers and the rooms are lovely, clean, and equipped with excellent showers. The pub food is great, and the pecan tart was delicious. Breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. The location is superb for those walking Hadrian's Wall, making it an ideal stopover for a stay or refreshments. Highly recommended!

Very nice glass of cider didn't eat but judging by the number of people eating it must be ok

Appalling attitude and lack of customer service! We walked for several hours along Hadrian's wall in the rain and popped in here to escape the rain, hoping for some food and a drink. It was around 1pm on a Sunday so we knew it might be busy. When we got there we were told they were fully booked. We noticed only 4 or 5 tables taken and dozens empty. We were told we could have a drink 'outside' but they wouldn't serve food. We asked several members of staff, including the assistant manager if we could just sit inside at an empty table until the bookings arrived but were told quite sternly NO. We had two drinks, so were there for about an hour and a half. When we walked back through the bar we found it was as empty as when we first arrived. When we asked again, we were told they had over 100 people in the restaurant. We popped into the shop to buy some of their locally brewed beer. You can see into the restaurant from there. We noticed about 20 people. Such a shame. Its the only pub around and a perfect spot for visitors to the wall, especially Sycamore Gap but don't waste your time and money. They don't deserve your custom. We left still wet, hungry and very disappointed.

Great brewery, great ale, lovely food, VERY busy (but dealt with it amazingly), feels somewhat less personable service given the busy-ness for food, but worked well. Excellent (proper) pies too!

Visited after walking from Steel Rigg over to Sycamore Gap (which was very emotional to see with the tree not there). After visiting Sycamore Gap we carried on to Crag Loch and walked on to visit this wonderful establishment. There were quite a lot in our group all ordering different drinks and meals and all came out really quickly. The food was lovely and really generous portions. Staff we all friendly and very professional. The shop on site sells all the attached brewery's produce and so we have taken a couple of souvenirs home. Would highly recommend anyone in the area visit, you won't be disappointed!!

We stayed one night on our way West on Hadrian's Wall. The rooms were very small but adequate and served us well. The staff was super friendly and seemed genuinely interested in our experience. Breakfast was fast, delicious, and suited our needs for the hiking very well. The 5th review star is withheld because we had a 1+ hour wait for dinner and seemed abandoned throughout. The dining room and/or kitchen seemed understaffed. After 20 minutes, we decided to go and get our own drink at the bar, even as dining staff stood around and chatted (surely kitchen staff don't go fetch beers?) We were footsore and tired, so perhaps our patience was limited. So... visit the bar and get our own drink and take it to the table.

I came to Twice Brewed already fallen in love with cask ales. I had the Sycamore Gap pale ale. It was the PERFECT beer! Being 66, I've had many beers in my day. And my search for the perfect beer ended at Twice Brewed. (I also had a burger, which was excellent, and the service is awesome!) Oh may the day come when I can return to Twice Brewed and taste perfection...again.

Table booked for 8pm - ordered American Burger and the trio of pork, 2 glasses of red. If you wanted veg with the pork that was an additional £4.95 Given no choice on size of wine required- they were large. Food not served until 8.50 pm, but it was very welcome and tasty when it arrived. Shocked upon paying to discover the wine was £9 per glass and a service charge of 10% automatically added to the bill. Sad no apology forthcoming for the delay in service - only told they had a big party in the room next door - so that supposedly explained it all.

A wonderful old pub and brewery on Hadrians Wall, just opposite the now sadly demised Sycamore Gap. This is a haven for trekkers, locals, passers by, and whoever likes old fashioned quality with upgraded facilities. Great range of beers, accommodation apparently and also true pub food. Highly recommended.

with 2 courses around 30 poun doer person lovely and quirky food

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and an amazing selection of their own beers on tap and in the shop. Their homemade Steak and Ale pie was delicious. Dog Friendly

Guy brought the food without any cutlery, a little arrogant with it, we had to walk back up to get it, no offer or apology, not great

Always a great selection of real ales, often stuck for choice after sampling a few. Always a warm welcome, it's always comfortable and always look forward to grabbing a drink or two after a day climbing on Peel Crag. Perfect way to finish the day.

Love this place. Especially with the brewery and variety of beers.

Busy popular pub on the Hadrian's wall trail.

Must visit for fans of beer, the north, life in general

Great pub and good outside area, too. Management MUST spend time training and developing young workers. Our young waitress was very nice but lost work wise. Needs an experienced person near her to guide and support. Give her the confidence to develop. We need locals in the workplace!!! Cheers

Lovely brewery and great food. The Eggs Benedict for breakfast are greatly recommended.

We stayed here for 3 nights for a wedding. Outstanding! All the staff were great, friendly and interactive. The accommodation was brilliant, clean, and spacious. The food throughout the 3 days was exceptional. Thank you all very much.

Highly recommend for food and accommodation but also for weddings. All the staff are friendly and extremely hard working. Food is amazing and the drink selection is AMAZING. We stayed in the family room with bunk beds, plenty of space for 4.

It’s ok again rooms are bit small

Not that there's an abundance of choice at this junction of the Wall, but Twice Brewed certainly isn't a place that you'd want to wind up at just because there isn't anything else around. The beers are great by any standard- particularly the double dry hopped IPA that had me going back for thirds. The food is also plenty tasty and the spread of options should keep anyone happy. If you're able to stay overnight count yourself lucky and enjoy all that Twice Brewed has to offer.

Food and service was fine. Breakfast was good. The room was small and had a mysterious not pleasant smell. There was an air moisturizer going full power when we entered. If we had not been so tired after 10 hours walking we would have made a fuss about it. But we did not

Looking at the reviews we expected the food was going to be great. However, it was honestly inedible, particularly the mushrooms on toast which they forgot about and brought out after we’d finished our food with no apologies. Cheese soufflé tasted like nothing, salad on the side was off. Chilli fries was flavourless and barely loaded. Very disappointing and wouldn’t return. Such a shame as the pub itself is really nice and the beer was good.

We went for my daughters birthday and had three courses.All courses were beautifully presented and were gorgeous. The staff were absolutely brilliant,nothing was too much trouble for them.Had a great night from start to finish

Fab food .lovely location and excellent service.

I cant believe I've never been here before. Will definitely go back.

Nice pub, afford prices for beer.

If you go to Sycamore Gap go to this pub/brewery! Lovely selection of drinks and food. Fantastic atmosphere!

The place where walkers go for a pint. Families call in after/ before visiting the Roman remains. I went with my daughter and 2 grandchildren. The staff were great and brought out crayons and drawings to complete, we all enjoyed the food and drinks. I would certainly go back.

Booked for our evening meal and stayed in the motorhome in the car park (£20 charge). The food was lovely and reasonably priced - it’s a busy place so make sure you do book a table! we walked to the sycamore pass - it’s about a mile and not too difficult a walk - although walking boots would be recommended ! nice staff too - attentive and smiling !

Can't fault it , food was amazing,, especially potato skins😉 child and dog friendly, lovely outside area, highly recommended 😊

Dropped in for lunch after a mornings visit to Housteads Roman Fort, 3 miles up the road- well worth a visit too. Lovely warm welcome on our arrival- with our large dog- and staff were very helpful in giving us a table where he could quietly crash out underneath for his afternoon nap! The pub was quite busy and had a lovely atmosphere with lots of attentive staff ready to take food or drink orders and clearing tables quickly. We had sandwiches and fries but the main meals looked very good too, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. There is a large outdoor area at the rear, with seating and cabins, and a garden area leading down to a steam with walks off in several directions. Really popular with families and dog owners alike. Good value, very welcoming and well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Thoroughly recommend it! Great food, the friendliest hotel/bar staff ever and a vast selection of beer, ale, lager and gin, all within a stone's throw of Hadrian's wall and beautiful scenery - what's not to like?! 😊

Great location and the food was good, beer from brewery alongside superb. Location is close to Hadrian's wall local Roman fort Vindolanda and museum amazing.

On site parking is £1.00 an hour (£1 coins) but refundable when paying your food bill. The staff are excellent, food is great with a good selection on menu. Good range of ales if you're not driving and the attached brewery worth a look as a you'd range of beers in bottle and can for sale. Sitting inside if you wish to sample their wares. Next to the sill and twice brewed planetarium. Great views of hadrians wall... Sadly without the sycamore tree. Well worth dropping in if passing.

Lack of real ale options - they only had pale or IPAs on the day we visited, no dark beers or porters.

Looking for somewhere dog friendly for lunch. Couldn’t have been more please with the reception we got for the dog and ourselves. Staff were very friendly and good wholesome food. Great for walkers on Hadrians Wall and visitors to The Sill.

Visited for lunch and we were the first ones in the pub. Staff were getting organised, so we sat beside the roaring log burner and warmed ourselves up. A very friendly member of staff brought some drinks to the table and said she would take our meal order when we were ready. All the other staff who came on duty also greeted us. We were made to feel most welcome. The room was well decorated and comfortable. We ordered sandwiches which arrived with a tasty side salad and crisps. Food was delicious and obviously freshly made. Prices are very reasonable and we left feeling that we had received a lovely Twice Brewed Inn experience. There is a shop next door selling ales etc so we did some purchasing from another friendly member of the team. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Lovely food, great staff. A bit of a downside for us were the large groups which were very noisy and the way our table was arranged. It made it very difficult to have a conversation with our friends which ruined the experience as we were looking forward to a catch-up but struggled with the above issues. Maybe dine in the bar next time if we return

This pub is amazing, the service is outstanding. It's welcoming and friendly and the food is very very nice 🤤 We were out on the wall longer than anticipated and the weather was definitely against us that day, one of us with a knee injury and on the verge of hypothermia, a lovely worker here quickly got us in, warm and fed, she couldn't do enough for us #iatemyburger.

A good meal, with a view of Hadrian's Wall.

What a lovely, comfortable and friendly Inn. The food was good and the ambience was just right

Great food and amazing staff. Its easy to see why it’s always busy. So good we went two nights in a row.

Lovely dog friendly pub and brewery. Ate here several times. Craft ales and largers are great. Not sure what to pick get 3 3rds. Food is amazing Tge maximus burger is very aptly named.

Great pub, welcoming, friendly staff & great, good quality, fresh beer. Amazing beer garden with stunning views.

I'm local to this place. Been going here for years as a treat; even before it had all the new interior, and way before the new brewery bit was added. This used to be a nice wee local establishment. Over the years, it's become more and more pretentious. I mean PRETENTIOUS. It is now a restaurant-hotel catering to what can only be described as the newly arrived rich and gullible in the area. Put it this way: I've taken a picture of every meal I've ever had there, and the portions have indeed become smaller and smaller. The quality used to be incredible too, but now it all tastes perfectly average. Those in my party also share the same opinions. We are only being honest about our experiences both past and present, and none of us are impressed. As such, this is not a pub for locals at all anymore. This is something akin to 'a quaint northern countryside pub with fine-dining experience.' If that's your thing, you'll love this place! If what you want is a decent pub with decent fresh local grub, this isn't your environment. Personally, our latest visit was the last from all of us. Thank you to all of the staff and management who used to make Twice Brewed Inn what it was: a place for everyone. Oh, and that "service tax" isn't a tax at all, its a covert, cheeky AF tipping system. We're actually really angry about that the very most. Don't sneak a tip into your customers' bill and call it a "tax". That's disgusting. We don't do that here.

Amazing place! Food and service excellent, really pleased they aren't just throwing out standard catering 'grub' for the tourists. I imagine it's rammed in high season ✌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼

Fantastic pub.. booked for Sunday lunch for 26 people and 4 dogs. The food was excellent and the service was superb, especially Meg who did a fantastic job of looking after us and getting the drinks and food on the table to all so quickly. The rest of Megs team were also extremely helpful. Will definitely return it back in the area, but would certainly recommend this pub for all reasons, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

Great Food and great beers and Meg was a perfect host! Come here and enjoy! I was the first Swiss in this great Pub and could stick my pin on the map! Thanks to Meg!

A bit more generic than it should be- but decent food and good service. The brewery shop is surprisingly expensive

Stopped in for lunch before heading to the Roman museum. 2 adults, 5yr old, 1 yr old and a pug. Fantastic food and great local ales line up. I had the sycamore gap pale ale- gorgeous beer. Staff were super friendly, very welcoming and pub had a lovely atmosphere. £15-£20 for a main meal. Kids also enjoyed exploring the stream in the beer garden and finding the toman solider. Will be back!! Thanks!

Great beer. Great overnight stay on the Hadrian's Wall tour. Our leg from Chollerford took us to this compelling brewery... Good beds and great food

Great pub, lovely food we booked the bar area for 26 adults and four dogs in advance and the team didn’t disappoint. Special thanks to Meg for organising us all and making sure we had a lovely time. From ordering drinks and food, wasn’t long before it was on the table. Can thoroughly recommend.

Top notch service really good food and fantastic beer all brewed on site. The views out the window of the hill are fantastic. Will be back.

Brilliant pub even has its own Brewery

Iconic isolated Inn just off Hadrians Wall. Serve a good selection of home brewed ales that are well kept. Food was nice, nothing outstanding but did the job after a hard day's walking. Nice atmosphere in the bar, very relaxing and warm. Just make sure that you bring a torch if stopping at the nearby youth hostel as it gets very dark on the walk back.

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Meg was very attentive and we’ll be back soon! Sunday Dinner was lovely and the puddings were divine!

Had a steak sandwich and a pint both excellent after a 8 mile walk. Dog friendly too

Loved it. Very dog friendly, staff a delight and the food was gorgeous. A must go to place, with a lovely atmosphere.

Shocking meal. The roast beef was tough as old boots. Husband had the Roast Beef sandwich which was impossible to eat. The bun was crumbly and had a very unpleasant taste, the beef was so tough he could not cut it, tear it or chew through it. Veggies in the party happy with their veg loaf but very small portions. An expensive disappointment for a family get together. Desserts saved the meal from being a total disaster but the portion sizes varied so much it was ridiculous . One of us had large portion of sticky toffee pudding, 2 others were less than half the size. Service was slow and intermittent. So disappointed.

Restaurant, brewery and bar. Good selection of hearty food served by friendly waiting staff. Wonderful selection of ales and soft drinks.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Staff are lovely. Dog friendly area in the bar area. Really enjoyed our meals and will definitely return. Love the tap room too the lady serving was super friendly and welcoming

Such a warm and friendly place and … the food!! Superb portions and the BEST steak pie I’ve ever had!! I might even travel hundreds of miles to go back for that pie; it was that good! I was stranded here for hours waiting for my family out on a walk and I couldn’t have been happier.

Outstanding food and what a place 👌

Great beer, and even though busy we were seated in a relatively quiet area able to chat easily.

A fantastic night at Twice Brewed Stargazing event with Neill Sanders and Thea Willis. A clear night and loads of time using the telescopes and lots of information on the stars and galaxies.. the planetarium was fantastic, well worth a visit.. Twice Brewed also do a graze and gaze.. book in advance, the events fill up quickly.
