Reviews in Northumberland

The food was good especially for our daughter who is gluten and dairy free but the staff need to slow down as there were a lot of errors on ordering mainly drinks and it made the atmosphere feel quite hectic and not relaxing.

We had booked to stay over and thought we would book in for an evening meal. 10/10 superb meal, lovely restaurant great staff and service.

Service was efficient, while still being friendly and considerate. The quality, presentation and taste of our meals was truly superb and definitely an experience we will eagerly await when next near Bamburgh.

From initial contact via email we had the best service. We contacted the Apple Inn to check out gluten free options and Johnny Johnson answered very timely and even offered to get some gluten free beer for my arrival. We arrived on the night of the booking and were shown to our table in the restaurant with our dog and true to his word I was able to have a gluten-free beer. We ordered the Honey Glazed Pork and Pan Fried Chicken Supreme and both dishes were superb. The Honey Glazed Pork was accompanied by fresh cut chips, which we discovered the chef uses Heritage Potatoes and I have never had such tasty chips. This Chef has a bright future, as the food he serves up was excellent. All of the staff were very pleasant and nothing was any bother. The establishment itself was immaculately clean and when we return up that way you will always her repeat visits. Thank you very much and you made our evening. Peter, Marie and Benson the dog.

Fabulous meal at The Apple Inn

An excellent find and perfect for a breakfast before we set off on our journey! My wife's all day breakfast lasted her all day! Food great and very friendly, attentive staff.

Great place! Food was tasty and came in good sized portions. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent food, beautifully presented combined with excellent service and very friendly staff.

My wife has coeliac disease and a fussy eater so trying to eat out is always a challenge. However not here the food was excellent and she was so happy that she could have a gluten free fish and chips followed by some ice cream. The portions were big and the chips big. The only criticism was that the accompanying mushy peas were almost cold. I had the white onion and cider soup to start which was delicious. This I followed with a lamb shank which apart from the bone had no waste on it whatsoever. Excellently cooked. The establishment did apologise over service times as 2 staff had gone sick

Absolutely fabulous food and the service was great too. Thanks for a lovely evening

Lovely place to call for a full breakfast. Great food and service. Dog friendly too

We had an all day breakfast on 4/7/22 and had no complaints at all. The breakfast was awesome and the staff friendly.

Despite only being offered the lite bites menu at 12:30 we still found lots of choice. The potatoes skins were really the best we ever had. Instead of the normal cheddars set solid we had a mix of cheese and that stayed more like a fondu cheese. Very nice! Burger was tasty and huge for me. Steak pie was also great. No room for anything else. Oh another pint:) just on hols and would recommend a meal there. We cycled and we worried about where to lock the bikes . They put us by the window over looking them locked in the covered outside area . Ps the booking system online is great

A little too warm in the restaurant but the food was mostly superb and service was fabulous. Between us we had fish and chips, sausage and mash, rogan josh, and veggie burger (not quite as well received), sea bream special. We have been here many times and will continue to do so.

I booked this venue for eight discerning diners on a golf trip, one of whom had visited some six years before and recommended we have dinner here. We were not disappointed as the food was beatifully prepared and presented, with a modest menu clearly designed to cover any taste or dietary requirement. The staff were attentive, smiling and energetic and took the time to mention outside matters that might have been of interest to us without being intrusive. It made the visit all that more enjoyable. My oysters were superb and the gentleman seated next to me said the the cheese souffle was the best he had eaten and a dish that is notoriously difficult to get right. Need I say more except thank Apple in for a wonderful meal!

We had prebooked lunch online, after a recommendation from our accommodation hosts. We arrived early but were met with a warm welcome and we could have any table apart from one with a reserved sign. We sat down at the bottom behind a corner, as thought it would be less distraction for our puppy. We were served quickly for our drinks and food order by a friendly man. The food came quick and was delicious - burger, and steak pie. We didn't see a member of staff again. Nobody came to check if the meal was OK, if we wanted further drinks, or desserts. O had really wanted to try the signature apple dessert. Having sat for quite some time, we both went separately to the bathroom and still no service. We decided just to leave then and asked to pay at the bar. It is a really lovely place to eat, just a shame that the service was lacking. There seemed to only be another w tables with guests that we could see, so the staff didn't appear to be rushed off their feet. Food 5* Service 2*

It would have been 5 stars as food, service and staff were superb. However after 2 visits in a week I must subtract one star. The background "music" (which was the same for both visits) consisted of some of the greatest torch singers of the 50s and 60s being utterly destroyed by Robbie Williams and his family converting them to duets. Good luck for the future and I hope someone buys a new cd of original hits very soon
