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!

Lovely food. Couldn't fault it. The kipper sandwich was lush. Fresh food cooked to order. Owner very friendly Highly recommend.

When we come here on holiday (we live in Spain) we always have a meal here, it’s one of our favourites. However something tonight was seriously wrong. The waiter had an air of complete “I don’t care” as he informed us that there was one pie left, no mash and no special left of marry me chicken. OK, we dealt with that and ordered 2 scampi’s the last pie and 1 lasagne. The scampi was dark brown served with chips and had no small amount of garnish to cover up the unappetising plate. The other plates also lacked the usual presentation. Such a shame as my mum who is a pensioner treated us and we felt really bad for her. Won’t return.

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.

At first glance this place looked like a bustling cafe, with fresh cakes and a warm welcome, from great suggestions and fresh food this is the place to come in Hexham! I opted for a sausage and onion toastie with fries and a choccy milkshake whilst I was doing some work! Beautiful and very tasty! All the staff had big smiles, and time for each and every customer! Claire was especially helpful, making me a beautiful milkshake, and explaining what Rising Cafe is all about! All I can say is wow! Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work! It was lovely to spend an hour somewhere that was so full of laughter and good vibes! I will be back!

Returned to this village pub restaurant to sample their menu after a change of chef. No longer an Italian restaurant though they still offer good pizzas and some pasta dishes prepared by their Italian sous chef. The new chef has extended the menu to include more bistro type dishes. The belly pork and beef cheeks were delicious. Service and atmosphere continue to be exemplary. Lovely to sit in their curtained gazebos or pergolas on a sunny Summer evening.

What a lovely little Gem in the centre of Redcar. We were looking to have lunch and half of our party were vegetarian and vegan. This gave us all lots of options and choice (which is so rare) and the quality, food and service even on a busy day was amazing - go and treat yourself and support a local business - loved it x

The coffee stop absolutely went above and beyond for a 50th party that I arranged the food was exceptional and everyone off the guests said the same, more than enough food and amazing service I would rate Angela and George 100% if I could I honestly can not thank them enough for making the occasion so special.

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.

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!

We arrived just before closing, so chose from what was already cooked. I had a battered sausage and my husband had a cheese and leek pie, which he said was delicious. We both had chips, which were a huge portion, and really good.

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

As always brilliant service from Claire. Brunch was fresh and delicious. Eggs perfectly poached. Hearty, comfort food served with love.
