The best restaurants in North East

Amazing food with lovely service. Staff were a friendly and the for was to die for. Portion sizes were perfect. Atmosphere is great as well.

If you are on holiday or just passing by, do not fail to stop and enjoy this gem of a cafe and you will be welcomed like old friends by Andrew, his Team and of course his 'greeters', Sam and Rocky, his friendly Border Collies. The atmosphere and homeliness of this unique hostelry can only be appreciated by a visit, as also the food of course, which is delicious, generous, and ranges from scrumptious home made gateaux, to its widely renowned choice of meals. If possible do try its selection of delicious cooked breakfasts, which really set you up for your onward journey or for your trip to the many beaches and castles etc. in which this area abounds. If you want an experience as well as a hearty meal, we are certain you will not be disappointed - just read the many reviews....!!!

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!

Visited this restaurant after drinks in Newcastle. It's a lovely place inside 😊 the staff are helpful and the food is great. Had the chicken, which was plentiful , lots of rice too.

Absolutamente 5 - servicio de estrellas y almuerzo y pastel para llevar eran deliciosos. Muy ocupado a la llegada como sábado a la hora del almuerzo. Pero, me las arreglé para encontrar una mesa para 4 arriba y tenía nuestra propia vista y habitación. Pedimos bebidas, almuerzo y pastel para llevar y todo estaba delicioso. Sin duda recomendaría si estás en Durham.

OMG what a hidden gem. For starters my son had the mussels and they were delicious; a beautiful creamy sauce with just enough heat. I had the risotto balls and they were to die for, I could have had them again. We both had pizza for our main and the pizza was lovely, a nice crusty base with a lovely delicate flavour and the toppings were superb. We'll definitely be back.

We travelled 40 miles to do a walk from Craster starting from The Piper's Pitch. We checked the evening before the opening times and that it would be open We planned on food there. Not open when we go there. Really disappointing. Spoke to staff in the Jolly Fisherman later and was told the opening is inconsistent .

La comida deliciosa y el personal era muy amable y atento. Recomendado a todos mis amigos y familiares!! sin duda volvería de nuevo.

Lovely food, great service. All on time and relaxed. Just above the brilliant Pelaw Inn 👍👍👍👍 Top marks Well worth a visit.

I was there fir lunch today & it was gorgeous, very tasty, it isn't my first visit by any means & I have never had a bad meal, the portions are huge, the bar staff are friendly & the service is good, but the chef deserves a big pat on the back his food is delicious

Didn’t actually get to sit or eat anything which is clearly frustrating. We did wait to be attended to for probably 20 minutes during which time none of the staff had any courtesy to speak and advise availability of tables etc. Just too rude! Cakes looked good in the cabinets though 🙄. To be fair even if it was empty and the cakes were the best in the whole county, wouldn’t come back now!

No comí en el restaurante, pero pidió comida para llevar de última hora. Los principales langostinos tandoori desgranados morirán por 13 libras esterlinas. 95 pero vale cada centavo. Enormes langostinos alrededor de 8 en total Cocinado sin aceite. perfecto para mi viaje mundial de adelgazamiento 🥰🥰🥰

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. NEVER tasted thai food so fresh it was my 50th and quite honestly it made my day....we got a takeaway and it was a meal we will never forget .This is a message to ANYONE who lives in or near Alnwick. If you want fresh... exceptional authentic tasting thai food packed with flavour and like to spend ure meals going..nom..nom..nom....out loud...this is the place for YOU.

Absolutely wonderful food. Sushi is top quality, beautifully hand crafted and presented and the flavour combinations are superb. We enjoyed our dinner so much we went back for lunch the following day!

Amazing place, amazing food and amazing staff. We highly recommend the fresh cooked delicious food . If you haven’t been you’re missing out
