Award winning food in a relaxed country pub atmosphere.
Karen and Phil have earned a reputation for quality since taking over the pub in late 2007. With Phil in the kitchen and Karen running front of house the pub has achieved recognition in many guides and is currently ranked number 14 in the Estrella Damm Top 50 gastropubs 2021
The menu is chalked on a board, with dishes changing daily depending on what’s available, a separate bar menu offers lighter snacks and delicious sandwiches.
The pub has always championed local food with as much sourced from suppliers based in the surrounding Northumberland countryside as possible.
