The best restaurants serving British food in Hexham Central with Acomb Northumberland North East

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!

Walked in , felt at home straight away, food was really good, if I'm in Hexham again this is where I would head for, recommend would to anyone, try it you,ll love it. Thanks for a great evening 11/12/24. Sorry, no pictures

Lovely quiet pub. Friendly and good prices

Friendly and helpful staff, food was wonderful at a very good price. Would have no hesitation to recommend and would definitely go back if in the area.

We debated for miles about lunch. Hexham is still a comfortable rural market town, the Abbey lending an authoritative stamp of history and longevity and gravitas to the delightful place. A sunny, bright October day looked on as we parked at the roadside and on the spur of the moment and the occasion decided to re-visit the Beaumont. Our only previous visit having been in company and for 'business' rather than pure enjoyment. So when we were graciously greeted and conducted to 'any' table for 2 it felt as if we were old friends. Our jackets were hung for us, a carafe of water came with the menus, and the server spoke with some knowledge about the choices when invited 'What would YOU have' We opted for a 'light lunch' variation, which was a good choice. The food was delicious, with those details that mark out some thought and care going into the item. Equally with the dessert, for alongside 'sticky toffee pudding' - which, let's face it, is a bit passé these days - there were intriguing desserts with intermixed chocolate and peanut, and figs, and suchlike unusual items. The delay in serving the desserts became suddenly clear when they arrived. No simple spooning a bit of sickly sponge on a plate with a smother of custard, these were hand assembled and decorated. It's said that you eat with your eyes, and that was as true of the desert as it had been of the main course. The real test is, of course, the flavour, and we agreed that the subtle blending of the flavours and ingredients at each stage of the meal spoke to a competence in the kitchen that is all too missing in these days of fast American rubbish. Well done to all the staff there, and a hoorah for the chefs, unsung heroes of a busy restaurant. But I had a complaint! They are too far away to eat there every week. An entire day out for lunch is a wee bit too much to ask. But then, maybe Hexham Abbey will lay on another exhibition that needs a visit. Or may be it won't really deserve a visit, - but we'll go anyway, and need a meal. Bring it on!

So wanted to visit here with my aunt and cousins visiting from New Zealand and could not because you are not dog friendly. I am sure you would find dogs are better behaved than a lot of children. So disappointing

Awful, fish totally overcooked and dry. Worst I’ve ever had

Great place for bacon and sausage sarnies.

Just had a lovely family meal, the service was very good and all the food was top notch. The price was excellent for what we received. The atmosphere was very friendly and bustling. We will definitely be back.

This is a pub that understands how to look after and serve real ale. Always an excellent, ever changing selection. Friendly staff make it a great local. Could be improved with light bar snacks. Often have good live music.

Delicious breakfast, we were hiking Hadrian’s Wall and spent the night at the Railway Inn. The staff was very kind and helpful and the rooms, bedding and baths were very comfortable. I recommend this establishment.

What an appalling experience! We arrived on a Sunday lunchtime to find more than half the tables full with leftover food and plates. The person at the bar gave us the wrong drinks twice (only a pint and a half!) and got severely confused when offered 22p to accompany a £10 note for a £5.22 bill. If this wasn't bad enough, the ladies toilet was in a disgraceful condition, with one cubicle containing what appeared to be days old vomit up the walls and the loo roll having been in the bowl. We've been to many Wetherspoons pubs over the years, but this was a disgrace to the chain.
