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.

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.

From walking in the staff were very friendly, and helpful. The venue itself very contemporary clean and well presented table, our booth was excellent exactly what was requested for an intimate anniversary for four. I believe it was Anna who was very polite ran us through the menu and the special offers. The menu was just right not lots and lots of dishes to confuse simply presented with a good choice of seafood and steaks to accommodate anyone. The food itself was well presented the starters all seafood were very nice the prawns were cooked perfectly. The mains were excellent all of us having various steaks which apart from being delicious were cooked to each individual requirement perfectly. Overall an outstanding meal even on a quiet weekday very impressed we all said we would be back soon great food great quality at a good fair price

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.
