The best restaurants in Northumberland North East

Walked here for a coffee and cake. The paradise slice and Mars Bar crunch were delicious and Harley, our Vizsla, was also treated to dog biscuits.

Visited as we’d received a recommendation and were going to theatre nearby. First impressions were excellent, stylishly kitted out and a warm welcome from the staff….then it got even better! Lovely menu (lots of slightly different options too) and when the food arrived it was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We really can’t fault anything….and we’re pretty picky! I had the honey chicken and it was so so tasty. The portions sizes are very generous too. The service was excellent and the prices very reasonable indeed. I really hope this restaurant thrives as they’ve thought of everything and deserves to do well. We’ll definitely come back when we’re next in the area. Thank you for a superb meal

On holiday in the area and thought we’d try here, the pizzas were excellent, the best takeaway pizzas we’ve had. The stuffed crust was also really tasty. Big portion sizes too

Went here for a meal after returning from a week's holiday which we always do if possible unfortunately they are now closing earlier and often they are closed when we return, so disappointing as we really enjoy our meals there. As usual had a lovely meal 😋 staff as usual were great friendly helpful and cheerful, was very sad to hear that they are closing down soon, such a shame as it's a really lovely place excellent food, good quality, and very good price. Hope to call again before we lose you 😟 .

Love this pub. A simple menu, with some really lovely food. The staff are really welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is positive and we always have a great time when we drop in. Lots of people from all over the world pop in who are walking the Hadrians wall route so you never know who you might meet! You'll really enjoy this cozy, local, friendly British pub.

Great welcome when we arrived. Think its the best fish and chips i ever had at a very reasonable price. Locals all friendly and happy to chat and spoil your dogs. Breakfast equally good. Very happy to recommend and will definitely return

1st visit of the year to the Shaj Tandoori and once again, we couldn't fault the food or service, spot on once again......+++++......

Super experience from start to finish. Excellent communication and really lovely food. Extensive wine list and great recommendations.

Stopped off for a coffee after a dog walk. Lovely independent coffee shop. Warm welcome and freshly made coffee. Relaxed atmosphere.

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

We recently stayed here for a family party at The Ship opposite. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had the garden view room which had a comfortable bed my rating would have been 5 if the bathroom was better and due to the lack of parking but I understand the rooms are being renovated this year so it will be interesting to see what improvements are made. The restaurant was really good for breakfast fresh ingredients and fab coffee

Disappointing evening, the service was slow, the portion sizes varied from large, to barely adequate the menu though ambitious, did not carry through to the plate. When asked by a waiter how the food was, he handled it badly when lavish praise was not forthcoming. The dining area is not designed for comfort, style over substance, comes to mind.

BEWARE of overcharging at this shop. They don’t take cash, a detail you only find out when you are at the till, and was then overcharged by 75% on the card machine. As I wasn’t offered a receipt this fact wasn’t obvious until I was in an area where there was phone reception. Two trips back to the shop have failed to recoup the money and now no one is answering the mobile number I was given. Poor experience all round.

Another visit to the Larder and it remains a great choice. Enjoyed thick, wholesome homemade soups (mushroom and tarragon, tomato and red pesto), served with warm savoury cheese scones. The latter so light and full of flavour, such as treat. It’s a busy place and the furniture/seating is basic but the prompt and friendly service gives a good atmosphere. The shop seemed to be offering fewer gourmet foods and much more packaged goods but still interesting. Worth a visit.

We called in here on the way down from New Year holidays in Edinburgh to London for lunch. Really pleased we did. The weather was, as usual, terrible but the cafe was warm and inviting. The log burner was roaring and the the place was full. There are lots of really cool artworks around the walls which kept both the kids and hubby interested. The kids had toasties which they loved and the grown ups opted for soup and sandwiches which were all delicious and freshly homemade. The chap serving us was really friendly and knocked us up superb coffees and Hot creamy chocolates. A lovely cool spot to stop off at.
