About the restaurant

The Duke of Wellington Inn is nestled in the tranquil Tyne valley village of Newton just off the A69 near Corbridge, within easy access to Newcastle, Hadrian"s Wall Country, Hexham and Northumberland's National Park. The décor reflects the traditional country inns history but with a modern twist. Existing oak and stone has been enhanced with modern colours, furniture and fabrics, and the theme extends to the bedrooms.
Lunches and dinners are served seven days a week in the bar and dining room. The food provided is traditional British comfort eating to an exceptional standard and makes use of local, seasonal ingredients. A comprehensive range of beers and ales compliments an extensive wine list. The inn experience continues with seven bedrooms providing a very high quality of luxury accommodation. The outstanding views across the Tyne valley provide the ultimate conclusion to a visit to the Duke of Wellington which will stay with you long after you leave.

Craster

About the restaurant

Welcome to The Jolly Fisherman, Craster. Combining stunning sea views with delicious home cooking and beautifully kept ales, this is a tastefully refurbished pub with tradition and character at its heart. We’ve taken great care to retain the charm of this historic pub with stone flagged floors, low beamed ceilings and comfortable seating. In the winter months, you can relax by one of our roaring open fires and in the summer enjoy the view from one of the most spectacular beer gardens in Northumberland.

Lovely location, great service and good food. It was a bit crowded on a Tuesday in early May so I am not sure about coming here during the season although the staff coped admirably.

Refined modern British cuisine meets unparalleled panoramic views of the Newcastle cityscape in BALTIC’s stylish quayside rooftop restaurant.

Menus are inspired by the very best seasonal, local artisan ingredients, whilst a carefully curated wine list draws from both new and old worlds.

The sleek, elegant dining room, complete with a chef’s table, offers an indulgent six course tasting experience. More casual small plates and sharing dishes are served in the opulent viewing box.

SIX’s stunning centrepiece bar serves innovative cocktails and both draught and bottled beers, with an emphasis on local breweries and distilleries.

About the restaurant

Situated in the attractive hamlet of Warden, a few miles west of Hexham, The Boatside Inn offers a friendly welcome at a traditional country pub in the heart of Northumberland. Ideal for those looking to tread along the Northumberland trails or delve into the history of Hadrian’s Wall.

Our Head Chef is dedicated to creating exceptional dishes made fresh to order, using only the finest ingredients, delivering enhanced flavours and quality.

A must-try is our signature dish: the succulent, slow-cooked braised beef short rib, paired with a rich Pancetta & Baby Onion Sauce.

Our menu is diverse and caters to all tastes, including a wide range of dietary needs. We’re proud to offer numerous gluten-free options, as well as tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes to satisfy every palate.

Don't miss out on our renowned Sunday lunch – it's a local favourite, and we highly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot. Save room for dessert though!

About the restaurant

If your preferred date or time not available, please call us on 0191 933 6994 or email us on Newcastle@ginorestaurants.com and one of our team will try everything possible to accommodate your preferred date and time.

Gino D'Acampo Newcastle is a beautiful light, open plan restaurant with floor to ceiling windows that lets the natural light flood it – it’s a real mood booster. That’s not all, we also have a huge contemporary terrace overlooking the iconic River Tyne, I can’t wait for you to see it.

Serving real Italian food as it should be, the menu really does have something for everyone. Check out my new lounge bar as well, it serves one of the biggest selections of Prosecco, sparkling wine and Franciacorta in the UK, with over 30 varieties for you to choose from. Pop by for a drink after work or enjoy one or two while you dine, the choice is yours.

Buon Appetito.
