The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Just had to write one final review of this excellent restaurant which is now sadly closed. We were lucky enough to have our second (and now, final) chance to try their tasting menu, and every dish was a delight. Looking forward to seeing whether there will be a new place with Michelin stars to try soon!

We travelled 40 miles to do a walk from Craster starting from The Piper's Pitch. We checked the evening before the opening times and that it would be open We planned on food there. Not open when we go there. Really disappointing. Spoke to staff in the Jolly Fisherman later and was told the opening is inconsistent .

I was there fir lunch today & it was gorgeous, very tasty, it isn't my first visit by any means & I have never had a bad meal, the portions are huge, the bar staff are friendly & the service is good, but the chef deserves a big pat on the back his food is delicious

I was recommended the Bari Tea Brewery by a friend and was not disappointed. The range of teas on offer was vast with many interesting flavours! I had the green ginger tea with a scone which was freshly baked and was very tasty! Service was very good and all the staff very friendly.

The Salt House has great cocktails, and great nibbles. We had a taste of Spain board and it was delish, great for sharing. The staff are brilliant and the atmosphere has a buzz. And dog friendly.

I've heard many good things about Rising Cafe and decided to visit the cafe this week. Loved the 1940s and 1950s theme with the old posters, the vintage radiogram and photos of the Queen's Coronation, and how the cafe helps people with issues in their lives. Also most of the meals are under £10, which is really good these days, and there is a large choice from salads to burger based meals. I was impressed and would recommend The Rising Cafe to anyone who wants a pleasant meal in nice surroundings with a theme.

Went on a very cold, wet day in November. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. The sausage sandwich was amazing- plenty of sausage in it! Good coffee too. Would definitely go back

Amazing! First off, the staff are so friendly. They never hesitate to answer any questions and make you feel so welcome, no matter the day/time. The decor and the atmosphere are great. I keep finding new details to admire. Love the surprise in the ladies’ loo as well! 🤫✨ The new menu is to die for! Gorgeous. I hate to admit I’ve had two burgers in the space of a week but can’t resist. This isn’t bog standard stuff - this is a menu that’s been properly thought through and they’ve thought outside the box! Unique things I haven’t seen before - super tasty. Try it all. The cocktail menu is equally fab - loads of choice and beautifully presented.

Often stop off in Berwick during journeys and found this little gem. They were doing Christmas lunches but squeezed us in despite being very busy. What can I say? Excellent service, superb food, will definitely be back. Well done to all the staff!

Great place, we were sent for breakfast from the local inn, and presented with the best breakfast we’d ever been offered! Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, well used by the locals, (always a good sign) dog friendly - a real treat from beginning to end - many thanks

A great addition to the Chillingham Road - very good variety of food, and good coffee. Well worth a visit for fresh and unusual food, a change from the usual, and you can tell the quality by the number of people waiting outside for their orders!

Great portion size, tasty fish, all been said already by other reviewers. What I found especially good was the batter on the fish, crispy and thin, not greasy, and the most magical of all, is that the fish goes all the way to end of the batter shell! They’ve go the batter nailed down! Bravo, please continue doing your thing and do not stop

Got to say been over a year since been in morpeth. Last burger was the best for miles Take 2 OK bun was fresh, plain burger 3 slices cheese and chips and onions rings No finesse and tasteless Please revise the burger as for £7 it should be much more

A really lovely little restaurant. Serves very nice home made food. Staff are fab and the food is so tasty. It's always busy and just such a lovely friendly traditional place. Mine and my best friends favourite spot for lunch

Lovely family run business. Food was made on the premises and was great. The sausage rolls and cakes are amazing, we will definatly be going again. Friendly efficient staff and beautiful little tea room.
