The best restaurants in North East

Always such an amazing experience, service was brilliant, amazing food. Always a great experience when we come. Thank you @Simla staff.

Lovely cocktails, food and service! Would recommend. We went before the matinee showing at the theatre next door. The tricolor caprese salad was delicious, and cocktails were some of the best we’ve had!

We called in at the Rocking Horse cafe for tea and cake with our new little border collie pup. We spent an hour or so chatting with Andrew the owner and he gave us some really good advice on canine behaviour and very useful training tips. The cafe is very welcoming, food is amazing and it’s great that dogs are so welcome and even get to play with the two resident collies in the large secure garden. I would highly recommend a visit for both food and help with dog training and agility skills

Just had to write one final review of this excellent restaurant which is now sadly closed. We were lucky enough to have our second (and now, final) chance to try their tasting menu, and every dish was a delight. Looking forward to seeing whether there will be a new place with Michelin stars to try soon!

Amazing service, amazing food! We tried some of the small plates, sharing platers and a main. Portions are excellent- we had to take some home. Gorgeous presentation and the cocktails were fab too! Will be returning

We had booked an upstairs room for a surprise birthday meal for 15. This was my first visit here and although it is a sizeable, busy restaurant, I was very impressed by the standard of service & the quality of the food. The menu also offered a good variety of options which made the results even more impressive. The food was hot (temperature) & everyone was served at the same time with no errors. All members of the group thoroughly enjoyed the experience & were saying how good the food was. I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant & that is well deserved. Thank you all.

I treated my friend for her birthday to tea here. Absolutely amazing, delicious home made cakes, scones and sandwiches. The atmosphere is really warm and welcoming and well worth a return visit.

The best meal I've had out in ages. I had chicken crema, it was delicious and perfectly cooked. The staff were attentive and very polite. It was also very reasonably priced. Everything was faultless and I'm looking forward to going back. I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely food. Couldn't fault it. The kipper sandwich was lush. Fresh food cooked to order. Owner very friendly Highly recommend.

Just had lunch with my mum and sister . The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone was faultless but there were 2 standouts- the arancini- best I’ve ever had and the homemade seafood ravioli was outstanding

Excellent 👌. Prawn puri starter was amazing. Delicious tikka main and spicy veg side dish. Really good, fast service and friendly staff. Thanks

When we come here on holiday (we live in Spain) we always have a meal here, it’s one of our favourites. However something tonight was seriously wrong. The waiter had an air of complete “I don’t care” as he informed us that there was one pie left, no mash and no special left of marry me chicken. OK, we dealt with that and ordered 2 scampi’s the last pie and 1 lasagne. The scampi was dark brown served with chips and had no small amount of garnish to cover up the unappetising plate. The other plates also lacked the usual presentation. Such a shame as my mum who is a pensioner treated us and we felt really bad for her. Won’t return.

Amazing cake , sones and freak shake . All the food coming out was big potions and everyone eating looked really happy . I'll be visiting again

Couldn’t fault anything, amazing with all tables, patient and professional, highly recommend. Food was outstanding and the bill even better!! For a busy Saturday night the 2 lasses working were amazing, even handled a rather tipsy customer with nothing but respect without disturbing any other diners. We will be back.

We read reviews before going to Alnwick and restaurant sounded fab .. sadly Restaurant doing take away at present.so didnt sit in ..however it was honestly OUTSTANDING.
