The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Haydon and Hadrian Northumberland North East

What a great little store,rare these days to have friendly service, good tea,cakes and a good range of local magazines and general food stuff

I've been to Pioneer cafe before for cake but never for lunch and it's always been without fault. Today we queued to get in which is usually the norm here, it shows how popular it is. Halloumi flatbread, absolutely gorgeous and only £7.95, the other meal we had was equally as good. Didn't wait too long either. Polite and friendly staff even though they were very busy they are all good at their jobs. Will definitely return.

Went for a Stargazing weekend. Positives: excellent food and accommodation. Location is ideal for walking Hadrian's wall/ visiting Sycamore Gap. Brilliant little microbrewery and tap room. Bar staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Negatives: very awkward interaction with one restaurant waitress on the first evening. Seen to the table but only 3 menus for 4 of us. She said she would get one but didn't. My wife went up to get it after some time only for the waitress to say " I can get that for you"! A bit late. Followed by no-one coming to take a drink or food order for over 20 minutes so we had to attract her attention. She did not apologise for the delay butclaimed to have been busy. We had watched her setting up tables for breakfast instead yet this was around 7.40 pm. When challenged on this she became aggressive rather than apologetic. She took the order but when asked for a jug of water, she ignored the request and stormed off. (the water did arrive, she just failed to acknowledge the request. This put our group at unease as we had 2 more breakfast and 1 dinner service to go! This may seem petty but it reaput a dampener on the weekend. Her customer service skills were non existent. All the other servers were polite, frank attentive. The bar seems to discourage later evening drinks as all the chairs/stools get put up on the tables as people leave, well before last orders. After coming in from the stargazing event around 10pm on a Sunday night, we weren't even sure that the bar was open. It was and the team were friendly but it just wasn't a welcoming environment to see the place ready for hoovering! Finally, the stargazing event was badly organised. There was no information at check in. We got most info from one of the waitresses and even then the directions weren't clear. We have been to an event down south before which had better presented information. The actual set up is very good with a great guest speaker. Unfortunately for us, rain and cloud stopped us from using the telescopes outside. The planetarium was an excellent facility. It is a shame that these issues affected what promised to be a great visit to a lovely pub.

Only 2 women working there, to be fair they were extremely busy, advertising for staff - which they seem to be every time we are there ! Coffee was ok, however flavoured syrup wasn't added to Pumpkin Spice Latte.! Wasnt very hot either. Couldn't take back as was already back on main road. Another customer had same issue but he checked his before he left the place.
