The best restaurants serving French food in Hexham Central with Acomb Northumberland North East

We visited for lunch yesterday as it was our wedding anniversary and wanted to do something a bit special (we eat out a lot!). We did the lunch special (2 courses £23, 3 courses £25) so it wasn't overly expensive. I had a bottle of lager and my wife had a fruit juice and we were offered some tap water which we accepted. The main disappointment was my main which was the pork belly. Small portion as you'd expect in a special but hardly any meat at all, just a very nicely presented piece of pork fat! Starters and sweets were nice but again, very small portions. On settling our bill (which we had to do at the desk as we couldn't catch the eye of the very nice but terribly overworked waitress) we left a cash tip only to discover later that they had added a 20% service charge! We live and learn! We'll tick it off our list but won't be back.
