Second meal at the Northumberland Arms, this time joined by my parents and their dog. Beautiful meal and a great time had by all, hosted by a friendly service team. Will definitely be back for more!
The food was delicious and service excellent. The interior is clean comfortable and pleasing on the eye. Location beautiful!
Excellent staff … attentive and efficient. Starter very good - black pud scotch eggs Lamb slow roast dinner - veg and Yorkshire pud excellent, lamb not quite as expected being a bit thin and fatty. Roast potatoes too …. obviously reheated so were rather hard. Hopefully constructive comments. We’d definitely come back.
It was Another lovely meal, we will be back for sure
Lovely setting with a pleasing menu and food that is expertly cooked. Menu highlights are the Sharing Platters which are a great option for 2 if you only want a modest lunch. The batter on the haddock was the best I have ever tasted, as were the chips to go with. You will be treated royally by your host, Trevor.
A cosy atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. Good service and very good food. I am gluten free and there was a reasonable choice of main meals. Met with friends and we weren’t rushed. Value for money. Dog friendly..
Love the cosiness of the pub and the location. Service is always good.
Always welcomed by staff. Friendly atmosphere. Never have a complaint about food or staff
Table was ready for us on arrival. Staff welcoming and food was very tasty.
Food tasty and bar area is warm and welcoming. Will definitely be back

We had Fantastic food and the atmosphere was great .
The food and the service was good. Look forward to visiting again
We were staying in the area for New Year so after looking at the reviews booked for the 9 of us. The welcome from staff was warm and we promptly got seated. The menu was limited which was disapointed as there was no mention of this on the website. We had the selection of breads ro share. This took 30 minutes to come out to the table. We then waited a further hour after we had finished our starter for the mains to come out. This is ridiculous and it wasn't untill my husband went and said something we had been left in the conservatory with no interaction from the staff at all during this time. There was no apology just i will go and see. However the food was exceptional although a little pricey, but everyone enjoyed the food. I would definitely go back if the services was improved.
Great food and service, very dog friendly. Booked again for Sunday.
Lovely dog friendly restaurant Food was amazing Service was excellent
Food excellent would’ve been better in the main bar rather than conservatory
We love The Northumberland Arms because of its traditional and cosy ambience. We live about 50 mins drive away and experienced the Christmas Fayre menu last year and had no hesitation in booking again this year. We have also stayed a few times. I had booked the meal well in advance online. When we arrived, we had to wait a short while for a table to be set which I found unusual as we had booked. The whole pub was, I would say, half full overall. Our table was booked for 7:45pm and once we had ordered our meal (no starters), this did not arrive for a further 50 mins which I felt was poor. The restaurant was by this time only about a third full. The food was nice, plate hot etc, sprouts were a bit over-cooked. Dessert was delicious. Nice food and menu - just a shame about the wait. Staff were all lovely.
The food was amazing, service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely.
Not the first time we’ve been here, and definitely not the last. Lovely ambience and staff very friendly. Food is brilliant too.
Fabulous food and staff were extremely efficient and friendly 😍
Beautiful surroundings, great food and service. Would highly recommend 😊
As always, the food was excellent! The welcome and the service were wonderful too with young attentive staff. Also a genuine welcome for our little dog.
Excellent services and food!lll lll lll ll;L;L ;ll lll. Hi
Our fifth time holidaying in Northumberland, and our first at Christmas for our wedding anniversary. Lovely meal, great service, lovely surroundings. We will be back.
Went for an early Christmas lunch while visiting our son. The food was delicious, and good value for 3 courses. Our waitress, Karen, was lovely and super kind. She brought a plate of chips out for our grandson to eat while he was waiting for us to have our starters. Highly recommended.
Enjoyed the atmosphere and food was lovely. Fab place to visit
Amazing food and very friendly and attentive service, thank you!
We popped in for a Christmas Family meal and we were made very welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious and the venue had a wonderful atmosphere. What really made it special for us was that our two dogs were welcomed as much as we were and the Doggie Menu really made their visit. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you.
Great as always food very good and staff welcoming incentive to visit in January
As usual, tasty lunch and good service. Recommended! The Christmas menu looks great but sadly we didn't have time today
Perfect! A very special place that combines excellent food, ambience and service - and is dog friendly. We love it and keep coming back.
Nice dinner indeed. Lovely restaurant and great service from all
Fantastic food and lovely service. Enjoyed the three course Christmas lunch.
Third visit for us …expecting a more adventurous menu of an evening ( previous visits lunch time) nevertheless a very enjoyable evening Staff very polite and attentive would certainly come again ..your booking system is simple and reassuring. Thank you.
Excellent Sunday lunch as always. Friendly atmosphere and great service.
Beautiful service, surroundings and meal. Dad said best pork crackling ever…
Lovely ambience, great food and really attentive, helpful staff. Thank you so much!
Food was excellent staff were fantastic looking after us attentively and quickly
We were in the area for a Christmas event at cragside and found the Northumberland Arms on Google. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Very kid friendly and the staff were lovely with our little girl. The pub was decorated for Christmas and we had crackers on the table, much to our little girls delight! Food was absolutely incredible. What a gem!
Fabulous food and service, Great Sunday lunch, definitely will be back
Fantastic from the minute we walked in.. food was fabulous
A bit of a wait for our good, as they were so busy - but definitely worth waiting for! Amazing!! Lovely roast beef and giant Yorkshire pudding 😀
Unfortunately a very slow service, was almost an hour after our arrival before we got our food.
Xmas menu again this year was very good The deserts, sticky toffee being outstanding . The only slight issue the sprouts were not sufficiently cooked, otherwise mains good
Great meal ,friendly staff and comfortable surroundings . We will definitely return
A nice quiet (though discreetly festive) atmosphere on a Monday evening (though it was two thirds full). Good polite unfussy service, a pleasant homemade mulled wine to start, two excellent starters, then a generous turkey main with several trmmings for me and nicely cooked and presented duck for my partner. No room for pudding! My red wine was very acceptable though not special. Overall the quality justifies the prices, which are quite high for a pub but fine for a restaurant. (It is both.)
Delicious food. Friendly staff. We ate early so the restaurant area was quite quiet. The bar area had more atmosphere and cosy fires. Will definitely return.
We are regular customers to the restaurant and find the food, service and ambiance is consistently of high standard
