The best restaurants in Hexham Central with Acomb Northumberland North East

I've heard many good things about Rising Cafe and decided to visit the cafe this week. Loved the 1940s and 1950s theme with the old posters, the vintage radiogram and photos of the Queen's Coronation, and how the cafe helps people with issues in their lives. Also most of the meals are under £10, which is really good these days, and there is a large choice from salads to burger based meals. I was impressed and would recommend The Rising Cafe to anyone who wants a pleasant meal in nice surroundings with a theme.

Some of the best bread you'll ever taste. Simply fantastic. All the superlatives in the other reviews are totally justified.

Stayed in Alston on a Wednesday night and this amazing pizza van arrived! The pizzas were freshly made, ready in 5 minutes and delicious! The staff on the van were very friendly and happy to make a pizza whichever way you wanted it.

What an absolutely lovely cafe staff make you feel very welcome, gluten free choices good and food well presented and freshly made. I would highly recommend it will most definitely go again.

We called in for lunch very nice greeting in an authentic Mexican restraunt we were promptly served the waiter helped us order it was delicious and very reasonable priced def will be back worth a try it’s good

A cosy warm restaurant on a cold night with friendly staff, but we left with the overriding impression that compared to a number of good Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants we have recently visited, this restaurant provided smaller portions of each chosen item and charged more.

Went in today and got chip butty with cheese...can safely say I won't be going back, the lad I went with got burger and chips with a can of pop. Instantly found a hair in his chips and then opened his can to find another hair stuck to the side of it. How this has good reviews I don't know!

So impressed by this tavern run by a lovely couple. Husband manages the kitchen on his own and the wife manages the front office completely on her own. Great kind and swift service. Food was great. We had lovely dips, lamb chops, prawn saganaki, gyros, bean stew, greek sausage and fresh warm baklava was absolutely out of this world.

What a lovely little cafe with top quality food, great coffee, great portions and a lovely menu. Such friendly staff and great customer service. What more could you ask for. Highly recommend a visit to this little gem.

Lovely quiet pub. Friendly and good prices

Could not be better. Charming building and rooms. Staff highly professional and friendly. The bar, restaurant and food are top notch. 10/10.

We had a lovely meal out at the heart of Northumberland. We had sausage & mash / burger & chips both super tasty and good portion sizes for price.

Popped in for a quick pit stop today. First impressions - bright, airy and spacious. Choice of toasties, soups, sandwiches etc. We had an epic bacon roll and a bacon/cheese scone. Both were delicious. Service was good and food brought to the table within 10 minutes. Free iced water on the counter to help yourself was a nice touch. We will be back!

Thought I'd treat my sister so we came for a light lunch. Each ordered cheese savoury sandwich on brown bread -simple, yes? Waitress arrived and we were given cheese savoury in a white roll.... Like Mrs Overall had taken the order. Gave up trying to catch waitress' attention re. her mistake as we had a hospital appointment to get to so just ate it. The filling was a thin smear of cheese savoury. I would have been embarrassed to serve this at home, my family would ask where the rest of their was. We did raise the issue to the young lady who took our payment, no resolution offered. Poor effort skimping on filling at these prices. Would have spoken to owner about it but they were busy on the phone trying to fix their problem with card payments not working and we had to get to the hospital. Fortunately, we managed to get the cash together. I know it's VE day but rationing of cheese ended in the 1950's. Could not recommend.

Disappointing evening, the service was slow, the portion sizes varied from large, to barely adequate the menu though ambitious, did not carry through to the plate. When asked by a waiter how the food was, he handled it badly when lavish praise was not forthcoming. The dining area is not designed for comfort, style over substance, comes to mind.
