The best restaurants serving British food in Northumberland North East

We went for afternoon tea after our time at the spa. What a wonderful experience it was. The customer service we received from Cristian was second to none. He was polite and courteous, and nothing was too much trouble. It is, sadly, unusual to receive this level of customer service nowadays and I cannot praise him enough. The sandwich selection was traditionally but tasty, scone’s where fresh and the cake selection was delicious. Thank you, would definitely recommend.

A short one night stay but a truly wonderful experience. From check-in to departure everything first class. Rooms are in a separate building to the rear of the pub. An absolutely beautiful room with lovely furnishings. Had one drink in the bar and young lad was very attentive. Well done all, would not hesitate to stay again.

We visit Seahorses a few times a year and have visited most restaurants in Seahouses. Experience keeps bringing us back to Lewis's for the quality,choice, and especially quantity!

Very glad to be able to edit my review, the place has changed hands and the improvement has been incredible. Two of us had the classic parmo, one had the lasagne. All the food was fresh, delicious, served quick (despite the place being fairly busy) and came in generous portions. It’s still way too expensive for what it is, but if you’re out to treat yourself you can do a lot lot worse.

Absolutely fine Food 🙂 ,All 4 of us really enjoyed our meal beautiful thanks good service n really nice views 10 mins drive 4 us from Prudhoe, we will be back 😀

Great food and the service from Anne was amazing

What a great pub in the middle of Belford Northumberland. Service was great Bandana Bob great hospitality and the food was beautiful the chips were second to none ....

Popped into Melvyn’s for a quick bite at lunch time. We had soup and a toastie and eggs Benedict. The food was outstanding and the service exemplary. Having eggs Benedict on a cheese scone is an inspired twist on a classic and I’ll be trying to replicate at home. Great flat white too. We’ll be back for sure.

We stopped in for something to eat after visiting family and were very disappointed with the quality of the meal. My partner ordered the Trio of Longfram Sausages, and he said none of it was freshly cooked but had been reheated, and there was nothing sweet or crispy about the onions. I tried them, and they were like chewy pieces of string with no flavour whatsoever. My mum had the scampi and chips, but I'm pretty sure triple cooked doesn't mean cooking them on three separate days. My Gammon Steak was okay, but again, the chips that came with it were not freshly cooked. I will not be recommending this place to anybody.

Having been for a lovely meal a year ago we promised ourselves Christmas lunch this year. It was not cheap - £240 for 2 but we expected a nice experience so didn't mind. On arrival I was offered a drink and a waitress on her way back to the kitchen offered a left over canape. They said they were bringing more out but these never appeared - my husband didn't get one at all. There was nowhere to sit in the hall and as I struggle to stand for any length I had to ask about being seated. There was nowhere to hang coats except on the back of the dining chair canteen style. Please note we had been to The Grand Tynemouth the previous day and coats had been taken and hung on a rail. The room was undecorated for Christmas and cramped. We were sat at a very feeble table that seemed to have been assembled that morning-very rickety. After about 10 minutes a bread roll was brought. Great we thought food is coming. 20 minutes later the starter arrived. Considering we had pre'ordered early in December it should have been more organised. The starter we chose -pate- came with a very strange slice of bread? That I can only liken to jamaica ginger cake - not at all compatible. Then followed a long wait for the plates to be collected. No sign of a drinks waiter we had been there almost an hour. We eventually caught a chap who had delivered drinks to a nearby table and he did serve us. Dinner finally arrived - and I can tell you it wasn't just us. We were all looking around wondering what was happening. Nearly 45 minutes later. The dinner itself was not pleasant and definitely not worth the £240 cost. The roasts were not crisp. The turkey appeared to be pressed meat. The stuffing seemed to be commercial rubbery type. To say we were disappointed does not overstate it. I wasn't prepared to wait another 30 minutes or more for a sliver of Christmas pudding. So we left. Eshott what were you doing??? The whole thing was a shambles and definitely not what we expected or anticipated. You didn't appear to have enough staff. You crammed too many people in and your chef must have had a day off. Ruined what we had been looking forward to.

Fabulous food at the cherry tree. Very friendly and accommodating staff, nothing was too much trouble. We booked for 20 people. All food came out together, presented well, hot and very good food. Not expensive at all, good value for money. Would definitely recommend

We had the pleasure of having our wedding ceremony at the beautiful Garden Station on Saturday 1st June 2024. Terry and Jill couldn't have been more welcoming, helpful and accommodating. We love this place it has an amazing calming aura and will always have a place in our hearts. Thank you again for making our day so special. Steve and Katherine x

Lovely country pub with roaring fire! Sunday lunch was one of the best I’ve had! A little wait but it was worth it as it’s cooked freshly! Can’t praise it high enough! Definitely go back!
