The best restaurants in Bellingham Northumberland North East

Beautiful little village, Stopped for a light lunch at the fountains cottage cafe . Staff were lovely food was excellent, so glad we stopped. 😄

What a wonderful place to have a cup of tea! We were visiting the Heritage Centre next door and were taken in by the quirkiness of the idea and decided to have lunch in the carriage. We were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming young man who gave us a few minutes to make our lunch choice. The tea was served in a traditional tea pot in “proper” china tea cups which was just perfect. Our food choices were soup and a cheese scone, ham and cheese sandwich and a sausage and bacon bun, all presented lovely and totally delicious. We were on holiday in the area and wish we live closer as I’d visit all the time. The prices were very reasonable and the service from the staff faultless.

A bit out if the way , but well worth a visit

Fantastic breakfast lovely friendly staff just fab place. Went again few days later had an omelette and chips one of specials it was lovely and different staff but so lovely

We stayed in May this year and had to come back because location, food, staff etc really excellent. So, stayed again this Sunday gone. This time I had the roast lamb dinner, so tender you don't need a knife to cut the lamb! Breakfast I had haddock and poached egg, wonderful as naturally smoked. Already planning to return, hopefully in Sept but definitely latest for our anniversary in November.

Very nice staff, food and service. Our best place to rest before getting to newcastle airport 😊

We visited for lunch en route to Kielder and opted for the lunchtime special. Excellent selection of starters, mains and desserts, something for everyone’s taste. My partner and son were slightly disappointed with their food as the description on the menu stated that it had gammon and also duck eggs but when it arrived it was cold ham and the eggs were not duck eggs. My steak and ale pie was delicious though, and son’s partner really enjoyed the fish and chips. The desserts were fantastic! Chocolate mousse with honeycomb for the guys which they really loved. Dairy-free ice cream for son’s partner and I had the mixed berry cheese cake with some double cream. That was absolutely fantastic so much so that I am tempted to ask for a whole one to take home next time we visit, which I hope will be very soon. The pub itself is very homely, with a wood burning stove and I noticed a bookcase including kids’ books etc. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, very typical of local Northumbrian hospitality. We went on a sunny(-ish!) day and the view was lovely across from the pub. It was very handy for a lunch stop on our way up to Kielder as it’s on the main route from Otterburn up to the border (Carter Bar). Thank you very much, see you soon.

We are staying in the adjacent campsite and have eaten here on 2 consecutive evenings. The food has been excellent on both nights . We had the home made Boe burger and tai green chicken curry, on the first night both were delicious and chicken Katsu burger and fish and chips the second night. Very generous helpings and perfectly cooked . The staff are very knowledgeable and attentive . Would 100% recommend.

Expensive food where the quality does not meet the price point. Lasagne- not impressed at all, oven chips for restaurant prices and overall just not a great experience. We wouldn’t return. We also ate in the bar and it was so warm that we had to leave.

Stopped in for breakfast on the way to do a walk at Kielder. Loved the place. Fantastic , well cooked , quality breakfast. Decent size and good value at £10.50 including toast and a brew. Couldn’t fault the food. One of the best breakfasts we’ve had. Ticked all the boxes for us. Dog friendly. Liked Falstone so much did a walk from there instead of Kielder and came back to the Old School for dessert. Bread and Butter pudding with cream or custard ! Although I was tempted by the Old School sponge. Thank you for a lovely experience

What a great 2 night stay we had. Set in a wooded area with great views. The rooms are clean and certainly adequate. Paul the host is remarkable. He is so friendly and couldn't do enough for my partner and I top service throughout our stay. Fantastic

We were staying at the hotel and so had our dinner here in the evening. I think it is only at present open to hotel guests which is why tripadvisor thinks it is currently closed? Really nice dining room. Very grand. Great menu. I had the steak and chips which were delicious. We were looked after well by the staff. Good wines. In all an excellent meal.

Friendly charming staff. Sunday dinner was excellent. The pork & beef perfectly cooked. The staff managed every drink request including a negroni. Warm cosy decor. Lovely outdoor area and gardens. Looks like a great wedding venue too A perfect romantic Sunday night away

Its a shame the pub isn't open at lunchtime, but the owner did explain he can't get the staff or chefs. The area desperately needs a pub open at lunchtime, even although 1st Nov is considered "out of season" (the three surrounding caravan parks were all still busy). Very friendly owner, good beer, didn't sample the food in the evening. There aren't really any "cosy nooks" - it seems arranged for busy summer meal times. Dog friendly too.

It was quite good and the chips are always tasty. Slight pricey in comparison to quantity given but taste wise worth it
