The best restaurants serving British food in Northumberland North East

Atmosphere is lovely and service was good. However, food took a long time even for a busy Sunday. When a couple , who had been seated and served 10 minutes after us,got their meal of fish &chips ,we asked about ours. Amazingly, it arrived straight away but husband bisque was cold and my fish finger sandwich just hot enough. Even, when warmed up not hot and by then we just wanted to eat. The place is very welcoming and being local we pop in for a coffee regularly, but won't be eating again any time soon.

We dropped in here for tea and scones. The cafe was busy but the staff were pleasant and efficient and we didn't need to wait long to be served. Scones and tea were really nice. They had a more extensive menu but we were just here for a small bite. Good value. Would eat here again if visiting Bamburgh.

Poor menu, dreadful service. The wait staff weren't interested. Waited an hour for our food. My scampi was soggy and had evidently been left out for a long time. Would not go back, even of the place wasn't permanently closed

We went for lunch in the bar, meal was reasonable but the staff need some training. We sat with finished plates for 15mins, no attempt to clear them.*Despite passing the table several times didn't check if happy with the food, if we had finished, if we would like the sweet menu. When finally caught his eye came to the table had to be prompted to take the plates,he seemed unaware of them, he took those away but did not return for the obviously empty glasses and bottles. While serving meals, dispensing cutlery and drinks from the bar he petted a dog and touched his hair and face but did not wash his hands. As I said the meal was reasonable except for the sponge pudding. A sponge should by definition be light and airy, not like the one presented which was dense and heavy, it needed pressure on the spoon to get through it. When the uneaten 'sponge' was returned to the member of staff he seemed not to understand 'inedible'. His only response was 'right ' no apology, no further comment. Altogether this member of staff just seemed totally unaware of what was going on around him and what his responsibilities were.

We have just been to The Wellington for a family meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our service from Felix, Jess and Tom was superb and we were made to feel welcome from the very start of our visit. Nothing was too much trouble and we would certainly recommend The Wellington for a lovely Sunday afternoon visit: great food and great service! Thank you!

I’m so sad to see this lovely place closed. It had great staff and atmosphere and a fantastically good smoked haddock chowder. I wish its people all the best and I thank them for all the great visits we’ve had here. I really hope that there might be a replacement cafe of such quality. We’ll watch with interest.

The waitresses were lovely and they had great service and the food was delightful they were always on standby if you needed them great to see a great place to eat

Once again the falcon didn’t disappoint, thank you so much for yesterday, Sunday) we came as a big family for a special birthday celebration for my mams 85th birthday & everything was amazing, great service, friendly atmosphere & nothing was to much trouble & the carvery once again didn’t disappoint, thank you to all the staff

Delicious 3 course meal overlooking the sea after a walk along the beach. Highly recommended, will definitely visit again

Excellent service and food. Denisa was really helpful in helping me organise a meet up for 7 friends with a set menu. Our table location in the extension was excellent for having lots of chat. Will be returning. Thank you Battlesteads.

The menu for my stuffed pepper said with coleslaw and home made hummus I had asked if I could pass on the coleslaw and asked if maybe I could have a little extra hummus to replace it but when it arrived with a very small pot of crisps, when I queried it I was simply told we have no hummus ! no apology , I was just told the hummus had be replaced with crisps! if they had told me this I’d have selected something else! Food was generally just about ok although a bit bland and required seasoning buy it was well presented, the salad had no dressing. When we paid the waitress asked was everything ok, and when said there was no hummus she just shrugged and said they didn’t tell me either! To be honest we’ve been here before and it was fine and good value, but after today I think I’ll avoid.

I am writing 2 seperate reviews as we had 2 very different experiences. The first time we stumbled upon this place,we felt like we had found a gem. Myself my husband our 2 boys and our dog stopped for drinks & cake. The staff were so friendly, food delicious and we felt welcome and relaxed. On the Tuesday on our way home from our trip we were determined to visit the coffee house again, but for lunch this time. This time the staff were not as welcoming. We were told we could not move 2 small tables together and we had to sit on a 6 seater at the door. This was not ideal as it had no space for our dog to sit and felt drafty. So we Said we'd sit on the 2 small tables without moving them. The rude blonde lady behind the counter said she'd rather we didn't incase other customers would like to sit there. We felt uncomfortable and very unwelcome so we left and are unlikely to return.

Delicious Sunday roast yesterday at Dyke Neuk. The trio of meats were excellent and huge portions. We sampled lamb,pork,turkey / sirloin. All came with lots of veggies, roast spuds, mash, gravy. Also the complimentary cheesy leek dish was very tasty. It was made from the recent show prize leek. Thanks guys, we shall be back!

Popped in for coffee and cheese scone. Wished we hadn't bothered. Coffee barely lukewarm and scone was dry, tasteless and had little discernable cheese content. One teeny, tiny portion of butter supplied . Pricey and not worth it. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't return.

Generous portions of tasty pub food and some excellent local cask beer. The warmest of welcomes for me and Razzie the border terrier and a special shout out to Adele for looking after me so well!
