The best restaurants in North East

just incredible food! the new afternoon tea is the best yet! we sampled this for the jubilee and i was just taken aback with every taste! truly amazing as was the service from i think was the owner? this is what makes this hotel

Lovely candlelit afternoon tea on a very cold snowy Sunday. Homemade cakes, sandwiches, scones & trifle and a warm welcome by the lady running the tearoom. A bit of a walk from the centre of Durham in the snow for two visiting ladies, but worth the trek. You do need to pre-book.

We came to this little cafe in the heart of Britain as we had heard the food was delightful and the village was lovely. 100% accurate on both counts. Chef Carlos has a great imagination and it shows in the special sandwiches and desserts served. The sandwich I had was a chicken, ham, and avocado with garlic mayo on toasted white bread. My wife had the butternut squash falafel wrap with whipped feta and pickled beets. Chef's lovely wife Nicole extends charm and grace taking orders and dishing friendly conversation. We finished our meal with a slice of lemon icebox pie with a crust of ground digestives. It was light and delicate with a delicious taste. We walked around the village loving the smiles and friendly greetings of the village folk. Walking along the banks of the Tyne is beautiful and we visited the sites of Vindolanda and the Roman Army Fort along Hadrian's Wall. The museums are well curated and the sense of historical awe was powerful. This visit was a highlight of our trip to England from California.

Visited for an informal business meeting. Sadly no decaf coffee available, WiFi very slow and mobile connection pretty much non existent. 3 hours max stay as non-residents and you must put your car reg in at reception. Honestly not that welcoming, though it was clean and clearly well used by office tenants. Not sure how to respond to the response left by the owner, so I'm editing here instead. Definitely your place we visited, and at shortly after 10.15am this morning I was told there was no decaf available.

Nuestra comida favorita y lugar de té en Newcastle. Yo y nuestros amigos hacemos planes para venir aquí al menos una vez al mes. Rachel y Ben son tan increíblemente acogedores, proporcionan un ambiente cálido y cómodo y un excelente servicio al cliente. El menú de té es expansivo, por decir lo menos! Hemos probado al menos 40 tés diferentes entre nosotros ahora y todavía tenemos muchos más que probar. La comida sabe increíble, está cocinada fresca y es de gran calidad. He estado viniendo a la casa de té Ni Hao desde alrededor de 2013 cuando era Tea Sutra antes de esto y constantemente ha sido un lugar increíble para visitar y la calidad solo ha mejorado. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficiente y nuestra visita es realmente uno de los aspectos más esperados de nuestro mes. 10 / 10 ⭐️

Only called in for a drink but was pleasantly surprised the place is very small but comfortable, a large selection of beers and wine. After living in Spain for 10 years this is the closest you will get to the authentic Spain. Great staff knowledgeable and friendly will definitely be coming back.

Excellent visit. Cafe was warm and inviting. Staff super friendly and great space for young children. We came with our 4.5 year old. Food was delicious, came hot and reasonably priced. Second excellent visit here and will come again for sure. Very clean. Toilets immaculate.

We ate here before Covid and truly enjoyed the lobster. Such a shame it hasnt returned as we keep visiting Seaham hoping they have returned. It was a real delight and they were so accommodating to make sure the lunch was fantastic. We can only wish them well for the future and live in hope ....

Went to this tearoom today only to find it’s closed and has been since mid December apparently, it says on here open now, shame because staff were very welcoming and food was good.

Lovely pasta, lovely team! If you like fresh pasta, you're going to love this place. Veronika the owner Is so nice and does the best pasta. It's definitely worth a visit, I'd recommend the Joe's as it has lots of lovely Veggies in it, or the chicken/bacon tomato pasta. Mmm.

Absolutely brilliant excellent service food beautiful love the place my new cafe staff are very welcoming I recommend the place

Pequeño café encantador con personal amable! Fuimos aquí para el desayuno después de dejar un coche para su MOT en el polígono industrial, muy bonito desayuno casero cocinado con un excelente servicio.

Popped in here whilst work was being done on my car nearby. Owner (I think) was lovely, very chatty and willing to help with my food intolerance. Apparently they serve gluten free paninis, would be a lovely little spot for lunch.

Proper Yorkshire fish and chips from the lovely North Riding village of Brotton in the Cleveland district of Yorkshire. Highly recommended
