The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Fabulous Place! Great service. Friendly staff. The food is always top quality and portion sizes are huge. Our fav fish kitchen. Quality exceeds.

This pub has gone backover the meals used to be good when the previous owners had it But with a bit more effort by the owners it could improve.

SO IMPRESSED. All of the staff were absolutely delightful and couldn’t do enough for you, with the warmest smiles to go with it. The atmosphere was just what you would hope for a destination country pub, and the classy but quirky decor to go with. Great range of drinks with knowledge about the local options too, and speciality cocktails! To top it off, the food matched this incredibly high standard. Huge well done to Lesley and the team. You’re running a damn good thing here.

great food, good prices, friendly staff

Another great night in the restaurant, fabulous food. A big thank you to Dan, Gennie and Paul for being attentive and ensuring everything was as it should be. As always nothing is too much trouble for these hosts. Thank you to all the staff.

We sat outside as inside was too busy for 4 people and a dog at 11am Sunday. Drinks came fairly soon but we waited a fair while for the food. When it came, there had been a mix up on the order and an item was missing from 2 meals. The mistake was quickly corrected at the Boat Yard's cost, by way of apology. However, we did witness someone else's order getting mixed up as well - make a note of what you ordered. Staff were lovely and friendly and the food was very tasty. The coffee was nice, too.

Came here with a tiny baby, the food was great but staff were outstanding, couldn’t have done more to help us out. I recommend it to mums at all the baby groups!

Came to try the restaurant. Upon arrival at 7pm the place was empty with only one customer. We asked if they had tables available for two. They said no and that were extremely busy and wouldn’t take walk ins due to demand of the restaurant. I looked around a bit confused due to emptiness. I asked is it possible to be seated before any book ins came as we would only be quick. They said no and that they had no bookings. Me and my partner were left feeling confused and disappointed. The staff just stared at us till we left. They lost out on custom and service that night. How disappointing. I would have understood if busy.

Práctico café en el centro de la ciudad. Edificio peculiar. Asientos interiores y exteriores. Los paninis eran excelentes. Agua gratis disponible cerca del mostrador. Café decepcionante - mi café con leche tenía una piel en la parte superior. Personal amable.

Booked a tablet of 13 to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday! Had a lovely cosy relaxing feel. When we arrived the staff made us feel so welcome! Staff were brilliant got everything spot on! Wow the food was outstanding so tasty! Thank you Travellers rest for making my husbands 40th celebration amazing!

Had Breakfast here this morning 14/4/25. Excellent Value for money and great service. Highly recommend.

Absolutely disgusting service booked a table for 7.30 still only had 1 drink and no food it's now 8:15. They didn't even have a food menu to give us to choose from

Terrible sunday lunch on Father’s Day,small amount of meat,vegetables,Yorkshire puddings and the gravy was like water.we were here before lockdown and had a fabulous Sunday lunch that’s why we returned.what a let down,staff advised us it was new owners.the best place in this area for Sunday lunch is the peacock by far....we will not recommend or return.

The best place to eat in Amble.!! The Sunday roast was amazing and the food was cooked to perfection. Excellent service from friendly staff.

Would have been a 5 out of 5 but breakfast was spoiled by slow and poor service. Dirty uncleared tables and the long wait for food was not acceptable. Just told they had a 16 in another room so that was why after waiting half an hour. 1. Welcome at hotel 5 / 5 2. Bar staff 5 / 5 3. Cleanliness 5 / 5 4. Room 4 / 5 a bit noisy not very soundproof but good otherwise 5. Breakfast. 1 / 5 service poor but eventually poached eggs on toast very good by going in kitchen and talking to chef. No apologies or explanation we were just left to ourselves in an empty restaurant. I had to go into kitchen and ask the chef for the food and it was then sorted by him.
