The best restaurants in Lesbury Northumberland North East

A first introduction to Premier Inn and what an introduction. Very nice, new, tasteful hotel, quietly located at the entrance to Alwick. Not far from the center of this beautiful town and the beautiful castle. We were received in a very friendly and helpful manner by a lady who turned out to be the manager, what a difference from most chain hotels! Perfect rooms, very good bed and blankets, very good shower, slept very well. We went for dinner in the evening: simple good meals: good curry and a proper Beef Ale Pie. Very quiet good good atmosphere in the restaurant and at the bar. Premier Inn has an interesting system for reservations with different prices, please check the website.

We stayed in our motorhome at the campsite behind. It was so bad we cut our 2 night booking to a 1 night stay. Plots were very poor, facilities worse. To be fair, they do serve a good pint of Guinness in the pub but apart from that, nothing to recommend. On the same trip we stayed at far superior sites for the same or less cost.

We had high expectations as family had been pre-covid and said it was great. We booked well ahead, when we arrive we did to like the location of the table offered, next to the reception desk so would have been too busy in that area. We asked for a window seat but had been told these were all pre-booked (no-one said you could prebook these when we booked). We were show another table which was good. The setting is unique, the name Treehouse is perfect, it does however need a little love as with some extra touches it could be amazing. I agree with other posters that in winter it would be great with fires burning. Staff were quite cold and disengaged apart from a gentleman who I think may have been the Manager, he was smiley and friendly. We enjoyed the food, simple basic pub style food but for a quick lunch it was OK

We had been recommended to try this restaurant, so we tried it. Our first indication that this might not have been a good choice was that no one ever came to our table to begin the service! Everything was on us, from ordering drinks, food, dessert menu or the check. We never received any water or were asked if we wanted anything. Now we did see a glimmer of hope from some of the staff, but one waitress seemed like she would rather be somewhere else. It was like it was the first night they had been open and no one knew what to do. Now it was not all bad, as the food was good, plenty of it and at a fair price. Proceed with caution and definitely be assertive with the staff!!!

We arrival at The Shepherds Rest shown to our room by a member of staff, just matter of fact, no conversation, didn’t ask how we were or about our journey or offer to help with bags etc. Bedroom very tired, creaky floor boards and beds, not very clean floor, there was a previous customers used tissue down the side of the bed, the beds had no headboards. The bedding and towels were changed during our stay. Bathroom very tired, plug didn’t fit in the sink and we had problems turning the light on and off. The over bath shower worked well and was hot. The rooms were cold, we asked several times about getting the heating turned on but the radiators didn’t warm up for long, the thermostat is in the bar, why should we have to keep on asking. We did try the food on our first night, we were given dried up chips and lasagna, no flavour, never again it was the worst meal we had anywhere during our week in Northumbria We had breakfast on our first morning, this was ok. We felt as though we were intruders, an inconvenience, there was no interest show in us at all during our stay The Shepherds Rest is a local drinkers pub not welcoming B&B.

Probably the worst McDonalds I’ve ever used. We wanted some drinks, so thought we’d use the drive thru for what should be a simple quick visit. Ordered ahead on the app. On arrival was told they hadn’t got any Coca Cola??? Went round to collect what they did have, just sat at the collection window….eventually get given order, no apology. This outlet is without competition in the local area, but it’s still very poor in my opinion.

Great family day out A really good mix of things to entertain children (soap making, crafts, Harry Potter broomstick flying and shows) and adults (state rooms, towers and grounds). The annual season pass makes it a reasonably priced attraction. Good food options for lunch or space for picnics

The Red Lion Inn is right in the centre of the Village and there’s parking all along the street. There isn’t a reception desk per se but we were shown to our room by a lady from behind the bar. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was cosy and very comfortable. Great King size bed. TV with Netflix (although I’d have preferred a slightly larger TV 😂). Large walk in shower, decent pressure and hot water. Fluffy white towels too. Guest WiFi is also included. Our room was directly above a little walkway and you could hear the clientele from our window, but it wasn’t an issue. We had a wood fired pizza from the outdoor pizza oven. Very nice. You pre order your breakfast before you go to bed. Breakfast was tasty. It’s served in quite a tight time frame 08.30-09.15. I wish there had been some music on when we got there though…all I could hear was people chewing, crunching and swallowing. So a little musical background noise would’ve been a welcome distraction. Although the music was on when we left the breakfast room. Would definitely go back. Alnmouth is a beautiful little village with a gorgeous coastal walk.

Very disappointed. The staff seem very disorganised and unenthusiastic. It’s clear they don’t want to be there. Not a place I’m inspired to return to.

So sad I have wanted to stay here fir many years. Food a great let down

Went for a meal this evening Atmosphere was lovely, food was delicious and staff were amazing, very friendly Would highly recommend

Booked a table for a Sunday lunch while in the area and have to say it was the worst meal we have had for a long time. The Sunday lunch was abysmal. The meat was tough,the vegetables were rock hard,not "Al dente".Potato's tasted like last weeks. There was cross contamination whilst serving meat,ie chef using same knife and serving utensils between pork and beef. The pan seared chicken supreme was bland,very little chicken,no flavour at all. The children's meatballs was inedible. The place itself was lovely and could be a super venue.such a disappointment and needs a major shake up.

I visited this cosy coastal pub with friends based on a recommendation by a local we met at sunset on Boulmer beach! I'm pleased we followed his advice as we found the pubs pictured barmaid professionally courteous & welcoming & my Coors beer was most refreshing too!

Popped in for a couple of portions of chips. Unfortunately on opening the box of chips we discovered that although they tasted ok they were completely dried out, must have sat for ages. Very disappointed.

Booked a table for the Friday night and glad we did as was very busy. Great selection of food and it was great to watch the kitchen staff work from our seats at the rear of the restaurant. Food was excellent and plentiful. Service was also very good. On seeing the Fish & Chips coming out for other tables we decided to order a takeaway for the Saturday. Collected it right on time and both the fish and the chips were cooked to perfection. In face, one of the best suppers I have ever had. Won't hesitate to pop back in when in the area.
