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 .

The meals were as expected, chips were outstanding, lasagne was very good, the stotie bread specials were average. Service was ok but not very attentive. Difficult to move due to proximity of next table. Disappointed overall.

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.

Visiting the Salt House for Sunday Lunch with family and friends was the best choice made. There was a very warm and friendly welcome from the staff on entering the restaurant and, this carried on throughout the whole time we were there. A great atmosphere within the restaurant, along with a menu to suit a variety of peoples tastes and cooked to perfection went down a treat. The restaurant was busy but, we never felt rushed and food was delivered in a timely manner. We will certainly be returning and thanks goes to the hosts Mark and Shelley and, of course their hard working staff for making our experience one of the best we have had as a group.

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!

Acabo de comer el más increíble almuerzo del domingo de Roast Beef, con budines de Yorkshire sin gluten y salsa. Mi hermano le hizo saber a Dan el chef de mis restricciones dietéticas cuando hizo la reserva. No fue ningún problema. Mi comida se veía y sabía tan bien como cualquier otra. Tuvimos un verdadero almuerzo dominical tradicional, carne de res muy bien cocinada, un montón de verduras perfectamente cocinadas, asados crujientes y puré de papas, así como el pudín de Yorkshire sin gluten y salsa para mí. A menudo, las opciones de GF pueden verse un poco secas, poco atractivas y sabrosas. No así en el Caballo Negro. Recomiendo encarecidamente, tanto por la deliciosa comida y la encantadora y cálida bienvenida de Helen y su equipo.

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

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!

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
