The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Northumberland North East

Restaurant Pine is quite remarkable in all departments; conviviality, hospitality, service, drinks, and food. The restaurant is unstuffy, and casually smart. The food is at the highest level, created from a hyper local process. Between the own grown and foraged ingredients, one would be hard pressed (as a diner) to have a meal of this calibre anywhere else in the UK. Their food balances artistry, culinary prowess, and a deep understanding of their fabulous ingredients. What they do with it all to creat such splendid dishes, is little short of utter genius to me and my palate

Another visit here, and the food never disappoints. Everything delicious with amazing attention to detail. My one request, please get more comfortable chairs. Three hours on hard wooden chairs is too long for my poor bones. Looking forward to the new restaurant Freyja . As it’s purpose built hopefully the acoustics will be better too. We were next to a rather noisy table of 6, just enjoying their evening but it was difficult to hear the descriptions of each dish. Hopefully this will be addressed in the new place. In spite of these small observations, we had a lovely evening as usual.

First time here and we loved the food. The set menu was tasty. Hubby had the crayfish to start and I had the curried potato and parsnip soup, both got full marks. The star of the show was the turkey main dinner. Gravy and roast potatoes were so tasty and the turkey was juicy, topped with a Yorkshire pudding. What is not to like. I managed to force myself to have the sticky toffee pudding, it had to be done. Just off the A1 so ideal for a stop for lunch or dinner.

My friend and I visited this restaurant at the weekend and would strongly recommend and will definitely be returning. Beautiful decor, amazing service and the food outstanding, literally can't fault it well done to all the staff 👍👏

What a gift to come across this on the way to New Castle. Super friendly people, delicious cakes and a beautiful atmosphere.

Lovely food & good value for money. I definitely recommend a visit

Went for morning tea as we had not tried them before. Followed a man with a dog otherwise place empty. As we entered the lady behind servery said no breakfasts this morning as I am the only one here. We just wanted espresso coffee and a cake. However, the cake selection was poor. Chose one cheese and one fruit scone plus the 2 coffees. Took quite a while to get the order. The cheese scone was cold and the coffee was not great. Definitely not worth the £14.80 charged.

Great welcome when we arrived. Think its the best fish and chips i ever had at a very reasonable price. Locals all friendly and happy to chat and spoil your dogs. Breakfast equally good. Very happy to recommend and will definitely return

We recently stayed here for a family party at The Ship opposite. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had the garden view room which had a comfortable bed my rating would have been 5 if the bathroom was better and due to the lack of parking but I understand the rooms are being renovated this year so it will be interesting to see what improvements are made. The restaurant was really good for breakfast fresh ingredients and fab coffee

We visited here for Sunday lunch. 6 adults 1 dog. We were met by very friendly staff. Lovely warmly environment. We all had soup or chowder to start followed by roast lamb, roast beef and pork belly washed down with a lovely bottle (or 2) of red wine! We didn’t have desserts as we were all full. Probably the nicest Sunday lunch we’ve had in a long time ! Will definitely be back .

This family run guest house is ace. Guests are made welcome, room was functional and comfortable, bed was as good as I've experienced in any hotel. The breakfast was very good, well cooked and presented nicely. In all difficult to fault.

Great stay at The Castle Hotel. We stayed for one night with our dog and we felt right at home. Service was quick and efficient, rooms were spotless and modern, and staff were lovely. Literally right across the road from the station and the beach is only a short walk away too. We had a continental breakfast included in our stay the next morning too. We will absolutely be back! Thanks so much 🫶

Smokey wet log was put into the open log burner/fire, causing the entire place to be filled with smoke. Bar was well stocked with alcohol but lacked in other options (e.g. not many soft drinks or hot chocolate). Young employee behind the bar came across unexperienced and possibly sheepish. They probably serve food but all we saw was an unplugged buffet fridge and empty plastic containers. Very central and close to Kielder Castle though

What a disastrous experience, avoid at all costs! To be advertised as a 'relaxing' spa break is an absolute joke, there was nothing relaxing about it. On arrival we wanted a nice chill, cuppa, bite to eat prior to our spa treatments - we promptly ordered food, bar staff were pleasant but very very slow. An hour passed & I chased up our food order, which arrived that late we had to rush it down to attend our booked treatments. What a great start to our stay! The chips were stone cold. When I say stone cold, they were not even luke warm & certainly not edible. A refund took 35 minutes to process, this had to be done by the ‘top’ Manager - really, for the sake of £4.50! The hotel had supposedly suffered 2 power cuts prior to our arrival & was absolutely freezing cold. We were assured this would be corrected soon. We had a table booked in the restaurant at 19:30pm, it was still freezing at this time & none of us could get warm. We returned to our rooms which were absolutely freezing cold too & even altering the temperature did not help! We were sat in our rooms with jumpers/coats/duvets around us to keep warm! POOL AREA - What Spa experience allows children in the pool, how is this relaxing for the rest of the guests? The pool area was rammed with lots of young children screeching/screaming & dive-bombing in the pool - not one member of staff noticed or stopped this. Our worst nightmare, we had come away for a quiet/relaxing stay. There wasn't a seat/table or lounger anywhere to be found. We managed to get into the jacuzzi, but this was also not working & had no bubbles! The water in the pool/jacuzzi was freezing; we didn't stay in there for long! Children had access to the pool area practically the whole of our stay. We would not have booked Slaley if we knew kids would be present - fact! The massages/treatments in the Elemis Spa were fabulous, however cut short by 10 mins; again this shouldn’t happen! The following day we decided not to return to the pool area, as children would again be present. Therefore, we decided to go to the bar/lounge area for a chill, chat, relax & a cuppa before departing. There was one person serving on the bar; he had to keep leaving his post to deliver meals to guests & the amount of people complaining about the service was ridiculous. We waited 35 minutes to order coffees/drinks & ended up leaving without being served. Where were the so called management team assessing customer service/demand? We checked out. Reception staff were very miserable on arrival & departure. On arrival, outside our rooms were 2 empty dirty glasses & outside another a plate with leftover food. When we exited our rooms these were still there - disgusting! The drive upto the hotel was absolutely horrific with around 150-200 really bad potholes in the road; this desperately needs resurfacing, as it could potentially damage someone's car, there was no way of avoiding them. NOT the relaxing break we had all hoped for & we will definitely not be returning. A 'Spa' break should be a time to relax, wind down & enjoy the experience, it was the furthest from this! The biggest insult was being given a £50 refund for each room (equating to £25 per person). The Manager Steven needs a course in customer loyalty/customer retention. We will NEVER return. Avoid avoid avoid, we would definitely NOT recommend. Horrible experience!

I called in just prior to our booking to leave a birthday cake. The staff were so kind and made sure the table that was reserved would be suitable. When we arrived for our lunch they had put balloons on a chair and a banner was on the wall. Our food was delicious and my grandchildren were also made welcome. They made our celebration perfect. Thanks you all the staff 💕💐
