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

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.

I visited the hotel only for a night due to a meeting I had to attend the following day in the town. The location of the hotel was perfect just opposite the train station and the person at the reception was very friendly. As I arrived just before 9 pm I questioned if the restaurant was still open in order to have some dinner but they informed me that restaurant closed at 19.30?! I thought it is too early and I had never experienced it in any other hotel. Once I joined the room there was a funny smell coming out from the bathroom and the room was super cold even though the heating was slightly on. Especially inside the bathroom I was freezing so I had to take a shower very quickly and jump inside the bed in order to warm up myself which isn’t very relaxing after hours of travelling. Lastly the following day even though my company’s reservation was breakfast included, in the morning I had been given the choice of complimentary breakfast only which was very very limited. Not even to mention that the check out was 10 am and the cleaners were speaking loudly outside of my room since 9 am stressing me out while just 5 minutes before 10 am I heard them saying “come on people 10 am is the checking out time” which I can definitely say it is not the way any hotel should perform. Overall it was a disappointing visit and I would never come back.

Berwick on Tweed A Lovely little town with a complete Elizabethan town wall and cannonades worth a visit for that alone. It's the only one on the country There is the first purpose built town barack's which was still used until recently Well worth a stop off for a stretch of legs and for the views from the ramparts. Banburgh Castle We visited this attraction as part of a coach trip and was not a long stop to visit rather to have a walk and a photo opportunity. A stop at Banburgh castle is essential if you are in Northumbria as It's very imposing and of course used for many films. We did not visit the castle itself but walked around the village and got photos of the castle. It's essentially a Victorian rebuild in the main but nonetheless imposing. The car park is conveniently located at the bottom of the hill and has a lovely ice cream van there which we of course indulged in!!
