The best restaurants in Northumberland North East

Called into this wonderful establishment for coffee .so friendly nothing too much trouble.albeit the owners were unable to be there.due to unforseen circumstances., the young man went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. A must for locals and visitors alike.

We visited lavender tearooms yesterday after our train ride. It looked extremely welcoming and had the option to sit outside or inside. My daughter isn’t a fan of outdoor dining so we decided to sit inside. We chose a drink each and a panini. Whilst ordering at the counter. I spotted the selection of chocolates and decided to also get some of those and went for the flavours we usually enjoy. We wasn’t waiting long for our food. My daughter opted for the ham and cheese panini which she said she wasn’t a fan of the ham used and grease from the panini was dripping all over her plate. She only ate half. I opted for the sweet chilli chicken. I was disappointed there was no cheese in the sweet chill chicken panini. However, it wasn’t listed to have cheese melted in it, it’s just I have sweet chilli chicken panini a lot and it always has had cheese in it in other places. The chicken was of poor quality too. It doesn’t take much to grill a piece of chicken, or fry some diced chicken and it tastes so much better than the chicken inside of my panini, Instead it was sliced precooked chicken that you buy in plastic packaging heated up. I know the taste and the texture as I used to buy it for a family member and I never liked the taste or texture; you can tell it’s not fresh cooked chicken and that it has preservatives in it. We had chosen around 5 individual chocolates to try and got one each so 10 in total. Although choosing flavours we normally enjoy. There was only two of the chocolates we actually enjoyed, the others had a weird taste to them. I wish we hadn’t eaten there and had chosen to have a drink and eat elsewhere. We spent £25 for two drinks, two paninis and a selection of about 10 individual chocolates. I feel it was a waste of money and would not return. My advice would be for the tearoom to not cut corners by using cheaper products like the chicken and the ham as the taste is important and customers will tell the difference.

Fab service and unreal food. Have had Sunday lunch twice and it’s was perfect. Massive portions friendly staff and quick service.

Return visit while visiting family in the area. Room is comfortable and has everything you need. Food is lovely, proper grub freshly made. The owners are extremely friendly as are Staff who are so important to any business. Overall a great stay, thank you

Prawn bhubaneswar puri is to die for

Lovely place with some antiques as a bonus. Usually don't choose Italian food but this was definitely one of the best I've tasted.

Went here last night and will never go back food tasted bland everything reheated chips were like concreate staff wernt very professional at all messing about infront of customers like kids drinking alchol at the bar I did however have a chat with a lovely old man who was polite and spoke to he was the only one not giiding around

This is the first time we have been into the Delaval Arms although we have passed it loads of times but certainly will be back. The staff are so friendly quaint rooms with dog friendly sections which means you can relax if you aren't an animal lover or allergic. The food was amazing and the presentation fabulous. Definitely a Chef who is passionate about their profession

I actually went to the coffee shop on Churchgate a few times during my stay - the best coffee I have tasted anywhere, and other customers were saying the same about the sausage rolls

Jan did an amazing afternoon tea and was so accommodating with order that catererd for fussy kids and was so helpful with pre order communication via email. Lovely food and great staff

Lovely lunch as always at Nelsons, staff were friendly and had good hospitality. Great that it is dog friendly. The menu has been the same for quite a while now so hopefully with the new owners some new dishes will be added - definitely could do with some more vegetarian and vegan options!
