The best restaurants serving British food in North East

What an absolutely lovely friendly cafe. We couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome. Lovely people, great service & delicious lunch. We will 100% be back!

Went for lunch on Good Friday, was surprised that the only people in having lunch were golfers. I would recommend anyone wanting a delicious lunch to go here. It is certainly worth a visit. Food was great and service and staff second to none.

Excellent lunch, there was a good choice available and it was reasonably priced. I have a milk intolerance but there was still a good choice on the menu as they have vegan choices too. Friendly staff and great service, would visit again.

We were looking for lunch after a trip to Lindisfarne and noticed this has excellent reviews. Popped in, few tables outside but noisy road and spindly chairs put us off! So glad we ventured inside.... what I can only describe as beautiful cakes and sandwiches on display with excellent prices too! The side salads looked amazing like a top class deli! We ordered 3 cheese and ham sandwiches....tasty warm foccacia with loads of filling and side salads...a very good value at £9 as it was a huge meal! Can of coke on this warm day came cold and with a glass of ice at only£1.50 ! We holiday regularly in Northumberland and have been horrified by the jump in prices around the coast (and indeed in land!) And to find this quality at a good price was such a great surprise! Well done owner and staff! We will certainly be back to try the amazing cakes and strawberry cheesecake we saw but couldn't manage today!

Visited from out of area based on local recommendations on a Friday night. Staff were all very good/welcoming and the food itself was excellent. The large chicken parmo is massive!!…tender, juicy and crispy chicken with great sauce/cheese.

This cafe is now coffee and cream I think? An excellent atmosphere and good quality food. Lovely comfortable place and wide range of food and drinks

We attend the prospect pretty much on a weekly basis but tonight was extra special for our daughters 8th birthday. The prospect is her favourite place. She brought 3 friends along and they all had a wonderful time. All food was beautiful as always...we wouldn't visit so often if it wasn't. As always 5*

Delicious Sunday lunch I had the beef it melted in my mouth will be back. The roast potatoes were crispy and perfect inside 😋

The Pack Horse Inn is a gastropub in the village of Ellingham, a short drive from the A1. There is limited parking in front of the premises, but on street parking is available too. There was a set menu for Sunday lunch with 2 courses for £27 and a little more for 3 courses. There was choice for those not wanting traditional roast, including fish and a vegetarian nut roast. The main menu is more extensive. The meals were all well presented and tasty. The flavour of each part of the dishes was distinct yet complimentary. Vegetables were fresh and cooked with some crunch left in them. Several vegetables with each meal. Decent portion size. A range of beers and wines is on offer. Service was adequate and with a smile. The bar is small and it felt awkward waiting for drinks before being shown through to the table. We were booked for lunchtime opening time and had to wait for the front door to be opened which was after our booked time. The restaurant warned up after the fire came to life but it was cold when we first entered. The separate bar and dining area gives the bar the warm feel of a traditional pub. Price was as expected in this popular area of Northumbria, a little lower than at the coast. Confident enough to post the menu outside the entrance.

Only popped in as my car was getting its m.o.t. nearby. Glad we did. Quite possibly the best beef baguette I've had. Good quality meat, very tasty gravy and actually proper homemade chips. Oh and the coffee was nice too.

Lovely little place, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food and cakes. What more can you ask for, we will be back

Excellent fish and chips ,proper chips ,fish excellent flakes ,the owners are lovely,service again brilliant,grub spot on I’ve just moved there and it’s my regular place,,

An old fashioned style of pub with good beer and friendly relaxed atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Probably suits a more middle aged customer. Will return.

Beautiful meal - Steak night. Honestly one of the best cooked steaks I've had in a long time. All the food looked lovely, the woman serving was really friendly,excellent service. We need pubs like this to be in our communities. 5 stars.

My wife and I popped in for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. We haven't been in the pub for some time and we're slightly lost as to how to order food and drink, that is, straight to the bar or use the well advertised app (we aren't as young and savvy as we once were). Josh the barman went above and beyond to help. Really he was a true delight and a credit to the pub. The choice of food and drink was excellent and the prices were reasonable (especially the lunch time offers). We will certainly return and intend to make that very soon.
