The best restaurants serving British food in Northumberland North East

Fast friendly service. Cake was a little disappointing.

Here’s a more polished version of your review while keeping the sentiment intact: --- We had heard so many great things about this place, so we made the two-hour drive, excited to enjoy a lovely lunch. The pub itself is fantastic, with a great atmosphere and wonderful staff who provided excellent service. Unfortunately, the food was a major letdown—overpriced, lacking in both luxury and flavor. We started with the soup of the day and the Jalapeño Crab Toast, but the soup was bland, and neither dish had any real impact. For mains, the fish pie (£24) was one of the most disappointing we've ever had—completely forgettable and lacking taste. The sandwiches were decent, but the chips (ordered separately) were overcooked, and we left half of them. With two soft drinks and two coffees, our total came to over £80, including the added service charge. I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, but as food lovers who travel specifically for these kinds of experiences, we felt seriously short-changed. This was not the standard we expected.

Visited for the first time after being recommend. The Sunday carvery is amazing!

Lovely little Irish bar with basic cheap food but cooked to order and good quality, burgers, pizza, fish n chips etc.

Went too watch the match canny pub some good characters in there I felt really welcome

Always my family’s favourite place for sunday dinner. Front of house staff make us feel so welcome and make a big deal out of my baby boy. Food always great and service always friendly.

One of the best conversions from a cinema to a pub.

We stayed 2 nights bed and breakfast. Central location. Clean, fresh, comfortable bedroom with modern facilities. Tea and coffee making facilities well stocked. Modern walk in shower. Excellent breakfast and friendly accommodating staff.

We were given a voucher from our daughter for a meal at The Tankerville Arms. My husband and I haven't eaten here before, but we definitely will be again. The food was delicious, tender lamb shank on a bubble & squeak rosti and homemade burger, chunky chips and dips, followed by sticky toffee pudding. The service was excellent and very quick. The two female members of staff were pleasant, friendly and attentive. The pub has a lovely cosy, country feel to it, the log burner was roaring, to be honest I could've stayed there all night!

From the first step in the staff have been welcoming and polite . Tables are spotless . Restaurant area is clean and comfortable . They also have a very nice pub area where to sit in front of an open fire . The young waitress have great customer service skills . Cannot fault the place . We had an amazing meal with delicious home made potato skin alongside an Angus burger and a very generous portion of gammon steak. .it is clear that everything is home made . We will definitely come back . Highly recommended .

Very popular Spoons local. Buzzy atmosphere.

Lovely village pub. Good food. Friendly locals and staff. Will continue to visit regularly. Please support this community effort. It is well worthwhile.
