The best restaurants in Longhoughton Northumberland North East

Great food and warm friendly staff Don’t miss popping up n The Cottage for food when visiting Craster. What a great place and reasonable prices. Large price rations of good quality food. What a contrast to The Jolly Fisherman in Craster.

What an experience. We were staying a short walk away so went for food and a drink. Food was outstanding,didn't wait long and was delicious. The staff was so friendly Dawn was such a laugh and was always there to offer help. Highly recommend this hotel was brilliant

My family and I stopped by for coffee and cake and was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Lovely gift shop, delicious cake and friendly staff. Will definitely be back. My son liked the All That Jazz cookie. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine.

I’ve just rung up to check their opening times today Feb 20th 2022. Today is their last day of trading Gutted Where shall I get my fabrics from now?.. I hope they have a happy retirement

Such a great spot for lunch. I ordered fish pie from the specials and it was packed full of fish and completely delicious. Puddings were great. If you sit in the restaurant, you get great sea views.

This is an amazing place!! We stayed here for the week while we were exploring the Northumberland area. The staff are ALL fantastic!! So friendly and helpful! We couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. The bar area is warm and comfortable and, judging by the people in there every day, very popular with locals and visitors alike. Breakfast was first-class and freshly cooked to order... really tasty. Our ensuite room was lovely too, very neat, comfortable and tidy and immaculately clean. We were looked after sooooo well that we felt like family. We had booked to eat dinner there on our first evening but enjoyed it so much that we ended up eating dinner there four out of the seven evenings. Next time we visit Northumberland (which we WILL do) we will DEFINITELY be staying (and eating) at the Tankerville Arms. We can't recommend this establishment highly enough!

My wife wanted to treat us to a special afternoon tea. Not being able to get a booking at The Cookie Jar or any of The Running Fox, she booked Doxford Hall. On arrival we given some vague directions by Reception to find our own way to a room where a piece of A4 paper with our name on it denoted where we to sit. No offer of a choice of where to have our Tea, despite it being a beautiful day outside. The room where we endured our experience was akin to a silent Doctors waiting room. With only one other couple and a single guest, you could have heard a pin drop. No music, no chatter and a complete absence of atmosphere. The only thing that could be heard was the buzzing of several flies and wasps! The “tea” eventually arrived and compared to others we have had, it was really disappointing. The sandwiches were made from shop bought loaves with little filling. The sandwiches must have been all cut together as all the flavours contaminated each other (see menu pic) . So horseradish, mixed with, coronation, mint and eggs is a strange combo! The scones were ok but the other sweet treats were dry and over complicated. I just wish my spoon could get to the the bottom of the rhubarb trifle! Most disappointing to the Mrs was the presentation. The crockery used was the same you’d expect in a roadside cafe, not afternoon tea at a 4* hotel. (See pic) In terms of the actual Tea, teabags for posh afternoon tea….. really! After concluding our tea, again no staff to request the bill, so I asked at reception to pay and was told to find the bar in the middle of the hotel and go pay there. So after a self directed tour of the place, we eventually found someone to take our money. They didn’t ask how our experience was and clearly they didn’t care. So hopefully others will read this and wait for a table at the Cookie Jar or The Running Fox. £45, not well spent!
