Reviews in Northumberland

Each year we visit Bamburgh, we always ensure that we book here for our Sunday lunch and it never fails to disappoint - its the best! My little boy will only eat sausage (which wasn't on the menu) and they were more than happy to cater for him and deliver sausage to his plate. We decided to book a last minute meal for 2 and were so glad that we did. The food was just delicious, as we're the desserts. The waitress explained they were short staffed and had a large group who had pre-booked food, but even with this explanation, we had our food brought out much quicker than other places we have eaten in the area. The staff are always so friendly and accommodating. We will be back next April!

Excellent food Outstanding service .

Great meal, the dessert was particularly delicious - try the signature dessert, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent food and service would highly recommend.

Excellent food , Great Service and they had Boss playing in the background what could possibly be better

A couple of niggles with the food and service. Mussels with artisan bread??? I don't call a small white petit pain 'artisan bread'. I should have asked for another as not enough bread to mop up the juices. Cheese souffle with rocket - no rocket. When queried told they had run out. Had to ask for a bit of salad but at least they didn't charge for this. Ordered a gin and tonic while perusing the menu and ordered starters and mains. Starters arrived within just a couple of minutes so hardly time to enjoy the G & T. Just saying hope the main does not come as quick and there it was. Did wonder if the speed was because last orders are at 8.15/8.30 and our table was booked for 8pm. But this was the only time available at time of booking and it was a Saturday night!! When we commented on this when making payment we were told it was because they were busy. Didn't really add up and surely that would have made service slower and on looking round it was not busy. No complaints on the food although we didn't go back

A wonderful meal.....with such attentive staff. Could thoroughly understand why we struggled to book a table. Wish we were more local to pay another visit.

Amazing food great service thank you

My boys (aged 6 and 4) and I had a lovely breakfast here. There was a lovely area set up for children, the food was fab and so was Claire! She couldn’t do enough for us, so refreshing to get service which is so top class. We returned the next day and enjoyed the same experience again. This lovely establishment is a credit to this fantastic family run business. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely meal with fantastic service from all who serviced us ( a young gentleman and Jennifer) Can definitely recommend the pork and sweet potato burger. We will be back next year.

We booked a table for Brunch, the food was great and the lady serving was lovely. I’ve marked the service down just because it felt a bit stop start and there needed to be another colleague to help out as she was managing the tables by herself for drinks and food. Just a small niggle as everything else really was grand.

Food was great and service was excellent , I would recommend a visit.

Good was excellent and the staff very friendly. Lovely place for an evening meal.

Sunday lunch was fine so disappointed this evening. Should not have chosen the meat pie which was much too salty; husband was quite happy with his vegetarian tart. The worst thing was that my quite expensive glass of white wine arrived at room temperature, when I complained the replacement was no better, then offered ice for cooling it down!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting and if we’re in the area again we will be back!

I not sure why my review in July wasn’t published but I feel the need to try again as the majority of reviews of this place are so far off our experience. We were staying in cottages locally and this pub is highly recommended by the owners. We booked Sunday lunch well ahead of our arrival thoroughly looking forward to it based on great reviews. It was awful! Firstly the pub was almost empty at around 3pm on a sunny Sunday. There was absolutely no atmosphere. We were shown to a table at the back of the pub near the toilets with plastic around it (COVID I assume) The food arrived quickly, too quickly to be freshly made and was tasteless and bland. Roast beef with veg. The staff were young and shy and did not try to engage in any conversation merely plonking down the food and leaving as quickly as they could. We were plaques by flies where we were sitting. The pudding to be fair was ok again delivered quickly without comment from the staff. We left as soon as we could and at this point the girl serving us did try to make conversation. When I said it was a bit off putting with the flies she said well we are out in the middle of nowhere! Not great and will definitely not visit again. Put us off entirely from eating out . Very disappointing. Also not cheap.

We had a lovely lunch yesterday. I really enjoyed the all-day vegan breakfast, although a second piece of bread would have been good. Very dog friendly and an enjoyable meal overall.
