The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Varied and wide choice of food all presented and cooked very well with good sized portions. The staff were very friendly and polite could not do enough for you.

Great night at Low Lights last Friday - food (pies) were great, there was a super folk band on playing live tunes and best of all was the waitress/bar lady who served us, so friendly and genuine - would go back in a heartbeat!!

As a pie fanatic, I had to take the opportunity to visit whilst taking son to Ferry. Was so happy I did. Two of us had the Steak, Stilton and Port Gravy pie, with Hand Cut Chips and Mushy Peas. Phenomenal pie. Jam packed with beautifully cooked Steak, nice flavour from the cheese, and the gravy was superb. Very good chips and mushies as well. Son had the Cajun Chicken Burger, and really enjoyed it. Very friendly staff, decent music (not too loud) and nice atmosphere in a busy pub. Will have to come back to sample the other, equally delicious sounding, pies on the menu.

We stopped here after cycling up from Hexham. Really pleased with the warm welcome and service. We had the small plate scampi & chips each and the portion size was excellent. With 2 halves of lager/cider the bill came to £23.05. Would definitely recommend this place.

Food and service here is exceptional. We chose to try the new wine flight, absolute bargain at £35. For those who have never tried one, they’re great. The wine is chosen especially to complement the course you’re eating. So you don’t have to worry about choosing the right bottle to accompany the whole meal. Each glass is perfectly matched. Five glasses of top end wines. Fantastic value and the perfect way to eat, drink and be merry. The meal started with 'Yeast two ways', freshly baked, thickly cut crusty bread with roasted yeast butter, how to elevate simple bread and butter to fine dining standards- it tasted amazing. Followed North Shields crab with apple which worked really well so light and refreshing. We shared a twice-baked Epoisses cheese soufflé. Dusted with aged Parmesan and baked with a cider cream and Onion Chutney. Absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious, indulgent... and a cheese lover's dream dish. The lamb course with beetroot melted in the mouth. The Snips Whispers dessert of sweet parsnip crisps with parsley sorbet and parsnip custard was unusually delicious! We were so full at the end of it all. Full and happy 😊 We did push the boat out and had a few cocktails in between courses, hence my poor beer pouring skills. Such a cool place with a soundtrack and food to match. If you're a true foodie you need to tick this place off your list 😉

Found this place by doing a web search for “best breakfast in Alnwick”. Big car park.. Attentive professional staff. Nice dining room (with a little shop) Great coffee. Quality breakfasts - one ‘full’ and one Foxy scone I think it was called. Good sausages! Two slight observations. I’m never a fan of places taking what could have been a lovely moist piece of bacon and flattening it and essentially drying it out so it’s stiff as a board, but hey ho, it was bacon I suppose. Also (and this happens absolutely everywhere in my experience - which is a bit odd) when beans come in a separate ramekin (if that’s the right word) they’re never piping hot. Overall it was a great visit.

I visit Hartlepool from London several times a year and always make a beeline for this lovely cafe. The staff are friendly and the coffee is delicious - they know how to make a decent espresso which isn't a given in many cafes. I recommend the gorgeous vegan chocolate sponge pudding - ask them to heat it up. Goes nicely with coffee. Thankyou to all the staff.

My wife and I visited the Hare and Hounds today after pre booking, which seems essential. We were not disappointed. It was the Best Sunday Roast we have had for years. Freshly cooked vegetables and a choice of beef lamb or pork very good portions of meat served to you then put your own veg and trimmings. All with the best gravy. Friendly staff and bee from onsite brewery. Strongly Recommend.

Lovely food, comfy chairs, big portions and decent prices at £24 for a very filling lunch for two. Would like to come back and try more from the menu. Only criticism so far is lack of proper baby changing facilities. I know space is an issue but all there is is a small, hard tiled counter.

Increíble, la comida es de un producto muy alto y cocinado a la perfección 👌. El personal es muy amable también. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestros desayunos de hoy. ¡No puedo esperar a volver! Ambiente encantador en el restaurante también.

Great for a get together lunch with a true friend. Service was good Claire was was friendly and efficient. Food was excellent

From the heart this place offers excellent support for the over 50's in regards to the likes of help and support for benefits etc. However, the cafeteria is not good at all and the beverages are below average. Over priced and worse than school dinner meals.

i took my granddaughter hayden for a burger and chips here at the whitehouse i had a lovely bread sandwich and beans but hayden cried and didnt eat his tomato and pickle toastie. the place was not very clean i found shaving foam under the table and it smelt like moudly cheese. but a nice experinece and an average birthday party at least hayden got his vbucks.

Fellow entrepreneur and Chef owner Dave Coulson runs a sublime restaurant that is absolutely perfect for a dining experience. Great service from the entire team who were all very friendly and happy in their work. Wine pairing and champagne by the glass were perfect accompaniments to the amazing seasonal tasting menu which was incredible. The design of the restaurant itself was also perfect being spacious while being intimate too and with a very cool and contemporary design. The only downside with Dave is that he supports ManU and not Newcastle! Apart from that he’s a cracking guy and an inspiring entrepreneur who runs one of the best fine dining restaurants in Newcastle.

Epic! Great value and perfect fish and chips.
