The best restaurants in South Tynedale Northumberland North East

We booked two rooms as we were attending a family party locally. The rooms are spotlessly clean and of a very high standard throughout . The breakfast was delicious and the customer service was great from the moment we arrived, to the moment we checked out. We look forward to visiting again very soon .

We arrived at the last minute but Nancy was kind enough to still serve us we had tea and cakes which were fantastic. (Most excellent as my husband says.) Danish apple cake and ginger and sweet potato cake. The café is clean, inviting, interesting with an array of any cake/dessert you could possibly fancy. We didn't even have time to look at the furniture and other arty items so will have to go again when we come back on holiday. Nancy is so nice and hospitable.

Entorno encantador lugar hermoso y muy accesible para personas de movilidad reducida realmente anfitriones agradables y buena comida hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos volveremos muy pronto.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit Definitely recommend

Try it!. Its the best quality and value meals you'll get in Northumberland.

Several of my friends and I were camping down the road and booked in, locals we got talking to were lovely, there was a great vibe to the place and the food was fantastic. Food was expensive but warrented the cost with how nice it was, you get what you pay for! Would highly recommend!

This is a village community pub that we visit for three reasons First to help the community. Secondly for the superb food, the home made steak pie is a big favorite. And the third is the friendliness.of staff and customers.

We stopped here after cycling up from Hexham. Really pleased with the warm welcome and service. We had the small plate scampi & chips each and the portion size was excellent. With 2 halves of lager/cider the bill came to £23.05. Would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely evening in a lovely pub the Landlord and his wife were great , very welcoming and the food was amazing best pub food I have had in ages more like restaurant quality

Lovely warm and friendly hosts, delicious food and a stunning view from our charming and spotlessly clean room. We will be back

Lovely cosy pub! We were welcomed from the minute we walked in the door, a real comfortable family atmosphere. Customer service was second to none, so friendly. We had 3 courses which were all fabulous. (Proper homemade food) lovely play area for the kids. Will definitely be returning very soon!!

Both had lamb which was lovely and came with really delicious veg including cauliflower cheese and perfect roasties. Excellent sticky toffee pudding too. Service was good and the staff extremely helpful and pleasant, despite being very busy. Husband asked for ice cream with dessert as well as the cream and mentioned it was his birthday. They produced a plate with 'Happy Birthday' on it with a bowl of ice cream on the side! What a lovely gesture. Highly recommend this lovely place. Upstairs dining room is gorgeous.

Wonderful welcome and they looked after my dog like noone else. Food was great, staff were great. Nothing to complain about. Definitely recommend

This one is a bit confusing, is it The Golden Lion or is it The Lion House? It was the Golden Lion the last time I was in Allendale and TripAdvisor reviewed this venue in 2021, but anyway, let’s press on with this review, a table for two booked for 1430 for the lady friend, myself and the two dogs in tow. We arrived in good time, we were shown to a nice little table located at the back wall of the main bar near a very warm fire, a lager shandy and Guinness were immediately ordered in. We had a look through the Sunday lunch menu, but soon afterwards the first disaster struck, our first choice of starters, the Harissa lamb was all gone! So I opted for the baked Camembert sharer as second but the second disaster struck as this was also all gone too! So we begrudgingly had to go for the cream of mushroom soup, I wasn’t interested in the chilli prawns. I opted for a three-meats lunch, but disaster struck a third time as it turned out there was no roast chicken left, all the unexpected walk-ins had eaten everything, so I had the beef and pork loin, the good lady having beef. Extras of cauliflower cheese were ordered. Puddings ordered were sticky-toffee pudding and double-chocolate brownie, thankfully I wasn’t too stuffed to eat this! All food arrived within reasonable time and thankfully was better than we’d expected, portions were huge, the soup was good, the meat beautifully seasoned and the puddings satisfyingly sticky and sweet. Service was very attentive and super friendly. The venue itself a good mix of locals and walk-ins creating a lively atmosphere and good ambiance for a Sunday afternoon. Happy to recommend The Lion House but I advise getting there earlier than we did, as random walk-ins might have been in and gobbled everything prior to you getting there!

On holiday in area, for second time, used the Spice twice last year and again this week, fantastic tasty Indian food, and reasonably priced. This is one of the best Indian we have ever eaten.
