The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Just had brunch with 2 friends at this beautiful place. So pretty inside and the seating outside. The food was delicious and the staff were really lovely.

Lovely little place, staff were great and the Sunday lunch was exceptional, well recommended x

Lovely curry but ridiculously overpriced. I could of paid less in a restaurant.

A wonderful choice of breakfast food with swift and friendly service. Would highly recommend. The cakes looked pretty good too but we were too full of breakfast buns to fit them in. We'll be back....

Having taken a trip on the local light railway, we stopped here for a quick cup of tea and a cake before returning to the train for our return trip. Unfortunately, we only had 1 hour at Etal, so time was of the essence. We took a table inside at the rear of the establishment and ordered three teas and three Teacakes. I ordered the Lavender Tea, which initially was very nice, however if you do order this, don't let it stew as the flavour quickly turns a bitter. The Teacakes were huge and delicious and came with copious amounts of delicious butter, I can highly recommend them. The only sour point was the time it took for the Tea cakes to arrive, bearing in mind by the time we arrived at the tearooms, we only had about forty minutes left before having to return to the train. The Teacakes took twenty minutes to arrive - how long does it take to toast a Teacake? My mother had to take part of her Teacake with her as she had no time to eat all of it and make the walk back to the train. Apart from that blip, it was a fairly decent visit but I imagine you could be in for quite a wait if the Tearoom was busy.

Great pub. Lovely friendly staff. Lounge is very comfortable and child friendly.big tv screen. Cost affective than whitley bay pubs and not noisy.

I have never left a review before of anywhere but I was so disappointed with the food and service. I had a sausage panini about 9 inches long which contained ONE (yes one) sausage covered in disgusting melted cheese. We waited 30 minutes for it after having been served our tea immediately so it was cold by the time the food came. There was a joke of a salad with it but the promised crisps never appeared. And…£7.50 for the sandwich. Really!!!!!???

Fab service and unreal food. Have had Sunday lunch twice and it’s was perfect. Massive portions friendly staff and quick service.

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

Very tasty steak! We loved our food and the staff were really attentive. It was priced more for a special occasion

I love this place. Its relaxed, open and light ambience is perfect for meeting friends and the food is tasty and plentiful. The staff team are warm, friendly and professional and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and valued as a customer. It's the ideal place to go for a snack or light meal in a most attractive setting, surrounded by art.

Batter on the fish uncooked and soggy Not sure what kind of fish we were given but it certainly wasn’t cod Very Disappointing

Lovely place with some antiques as a bonus. Usually don't choose Italian food but this was definitely one of the best I've tasted.

This is the first time we have been into the Delaval Arms although we have passed it loads of times but certainly will be back. The staff are so friendly quaint rooms with dog friendly sections which means you can relax if you aren't an animal lover or allergic. The food was amazing and the presentation fabulous. Definitely a Chef who is passionate about their profession

Jan did an amazing afternoon tea and was so accommodating with order that catererd for fussy kids and was so helpful with pre order communication via email. Lovely food and great staff
