Pubs in Northumberland, town & country pubs

Astley Arms, Marine View, Seaton Sluice

LAST time Mrs Eats and I headed for the Astley Arms the food was great but the queue was greater.Read

Lion & Lamb, Horsley, near Heddon-on-the-Wall

THE Lion & Lamb is a traditional, olde-worlde kind of country pub Mrs E and I have visited a few times over the years.Read

The Wellington, Main Road, Riding Mill

THE outlook from the Eats’s bedroom window, as the curtains were drawn back with the customary flourish, was not one to set the spirits soaring.Read

Fratelli’s, Bell Villas, Ponteland

ANOTHER Sunday, another chance to eye up other people’s lifestyles – well at least for Mrs Eats that is.Read

Ridge Farm Pub and Carvery, Netherton Lane, Bedlington

THERE must be something in the water at the moment. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been inundated with letters from Sunday lunch lovers recommending various different eateries the length and breadth of our region.Read

The Waggon Inn, Higham Dykes, Milbourne, Northumberland

THROUGH rain, shine, and snow, we've driven past The Waggon Inn on numerous trips to Northumberland.Read

The Fishing Boat Inn, Boulmer

REMEMBER that old ditty, ‘Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, I do like to be beside the sea’?Read

Battlesteads Hotel and Restaurant, Wark, Northumberland

THE danger with being named national Great British Pub of the Year is that it builds people’s expectations, especially if you tick another of today’s boxes by being a very “green” establishment, too.Read

Lord Crewe Arms, Blanchland, Northumberland

THE Lord Crewe Arms is one of the oldest, most historic pubs in the region, yet until recently apparently it did not serve Sunday roast.Read

The Melton Constable, Beresford Road, Seaton Sluice

LAST Sunday we hopped in the Eatsmobile and took a trip to the beautiful Northumberland coast … well, just about, as we visited Seaton Sluice, the southernmost tip of the county.Read

The Feathers Inn, Hedley on the Hill, Stocksfield

IT’S no secret that me and the Mrs have our favourite scran spots, but it might be less well-known that the nature of our work (I use that term very loosely) means there has to be a decent interval between visits. Read

The Highlander, Higham Dykes, Belsay

WHEN it comes to banishing the January blues, a slap-up Sunday lunch is the perfect tonic.Read

Willow Farm, Northumberland Business Park, Annitsford

ALWAYS in search of better carvery joints – and feeling like busting a gut today, She Who Must Be Fed and I headed out to visit somewhere a mate of mine has raved on about over the blower.Read

The Blackbird, North Road, Ponteland, Northumberland

LADY luck has finally shone on Eats Towers. Yes, Mrs Eats and I are £88 pounds richer after matching four numbers on last Saturday's Lotto.Read

Hermitage Inn, Warkworth, Northumberland

IT was one of those days that I imagine publicans love . . . when the weather changes in the blink of an eye. Read

The Castle Hotel, 7 Front Street, Bamburgh

SANDY beaches, blue skies and an English castle, you can’t ask for better on a Sunday afternoon jolly.Read

Lion & Lamb, Horsley, Northumberland

WE awoke to the perfect spring day. Mrs Eats was keen to take full advantage of the clear blue skies and had her whites flapping in the breeze by 10am.Read

Milecastle Inn, Military Road, Northumberland

THERE’S one thing that can be relied upon with Mrs Eats and I – when it comes to our Sunday scran, a proper roast with all the trimmings will almost always be at the top of our list.Read

The Coach Inn, Lesbury, Northumberland

THE clocks may have gone forward this morning, but Mrs Eats and I remembered a recent Scran when snow lay on the ground and we fancied some comfort food.Read

The Shoulder of Mutton, Longhorsley, Morpeth

SPRING is in the air, the daylight hours are stretching out and Mrs Eats is emerging from under the cloud that tends to dampen her spirits during winter.Read
