The best restaurants in Rothbury Northumberland North East

Great ambience, food very good and reasonably priced. All four us enjoyed our meal, and will definitely put this on our “to do” list when we next visit Northumberland

Just like when i was a young lad, fish and chip van stopping here and there serving great food, was told by a lady in the butchers in Rothbury to look on the website and then you know where he will be, did not let us down, lovely fresh fish.

Pizza o.k but nothing special, Service good but with two exceptions: no reaktion to phone and SMS when I tried to reserve, and being placed initially in a relatively cosy niche, ideal for us two and our dog, we have been asked to move to an exposed table on the wall, where lots of people and staff continously passed by. Reason: tables needed for a group of four - but the tables stayed empty during our stay. Atmosphere: heavily fake Italian style , overdecorated, with vinyl floor and walls.

Menu was varied and food was delicious with massive portions. We visited twice during our stay to Rothbury. Weather was glorious when we visited so we were also able to enjoy a drink in the beer garden which had lovely views of the Rothbury countryside. Staff were also very friendly. Would highly recommend!

Twice now, after tough Mountain Bike rides up in woods and hills, returning to Alwinton and the Rose and Thistle. Tremendous place, friendly welcome, lovely atmosphere and great selection of delicious food to choose from. Quick service, fed and watered 100% 🏁 Looking forward to the next one.

Nearest pub to our accomodation, spent several evenings here chatting with the locals and enjoying local ales. We had the pie off the day (steak and ale) one evening and it was delicious. Definitely more steak than you usually get in a pie. Had to have several more drinks before heading home else we would have needed a push up the hills!! Nice little corner with local products in the coffee shop area, cakes looked rather tasty but we were only in of the evenings.

Lovely little friendly cafe. Must stop here for Gibbet cake. Fabulous! Nice country area to walk around.

Beautiful place to visit with so much to see and do and on a vast site you can easily spend two there and not see it all

Went for breakfast, had the hangover cure, food was cold, bacon was virtually raw, mushrooms had a funny taste, only hot thing on the plate was the one sausage! Certainly not worth £20!

The scone was lovely, coffee great it was a welcome break after the walking we did.

Absolutely class place. Kathie and her team have transformed this place into an absolute gem of a place to go and enjoy food and or drinks. Always very welcoming and the food menu is next level. Can't wait to come back, the San Miguel's are...

Been closed for about a month now, Google and Facebook pages need to be updated.

I'm writing this as there aren't many reviews food is always excellent run by geordie ratcliffe as this was his late wife's cafe for years he runs the cafe as Jeanette would i may be a friend but he serves excellent food keep up the good work geordie see you tomorrow morning around 9.30a.m

Lovely big, clean and comfortable room. Efficient and friendly staff. Great breakfast - and we were very pleasantly surprised to find that the breakfast was included in the reasonable rate for the room. When we returned to the room at night, after eating in a local restaurant, there was quite loud music and singing in the pub downstairs - yet we heard none of this from our room upstairs, so don't let any pub noise put you off at all. Instead, it's a sign of a friendly, popular place and none of it carries to the bedrooms upstairs. Highly recommended, and thank you for a great stay!

This small family-run delicatessen is a great place to shop locally for wholefoods and locally produced goods, including hand-made bread, local jam, honey and chutneys, biscuits and cakes, various local beers and other drinks, cheese and meat as well as plenty of ideas for small gifts. There are also a good number of vegetarian products. Plenty of non-food items too such as genuinely environmentally friendly household cleaning, soap, toiletries, even socks! Really amazing what is contained in this TARDIS-like shop! There is a café in the back of the shop which is popular with walkers (I can’t comment as I haven’t been to the café myself), and also a separate counter for buying loose local cheese and there’s always a great selection including my favourite Cuddy’s Cave. The one gripe I have being the use of throwaway plastic wrap/cling film in an otherwise very environmentally friendly shop. I must mention the fantastic “tea wall” (as I call it), a large section of shelving containing such a huge range of tea, including herbal and fruit teas (sadly no Dr Stuart’s recently so I have had to buy online). There is also a range of locally roasted coffee. Although we prefer to buy from small local businesses can be difficult to get what we need locally (we aren’t fans of the one local supermarket at all) so Tully’s is really good to pop into for certain items. All in all it’s an essential local store which I enjoy visiting. We recently had family visiting from the Netherlands who enjoyed visiting Tully’s too.
