This ambitious debut offers a 14-course set menu of ‘food we love to eat ourselves’ from Co Durham-born chef Gary McDermott and his partner, Claudia Mazareanu. The emphasis is on simplicity, the finest Northumberland produce, and a ‘refined take on familiar flavours’.

The chef

McDermott said: “As fresh food and flavours are key, I’m thrilled to be working with some of the best producers the land & sea has to offer. Northumberland is a stunning place and to find the right the produce has been a joy. It is very important to me to use the best, and I am confident that our latest menu will be a real showcase of the passion, and respect we have for the produce of the area.”

This ambitious debut offers a 14-course set menu of ‘food we love to eat ourselves’ from Co Durham-born chef Gary McDermott and his partner, Claudia Mazareanu. The emphasis is on simplicity, the finest Northumberland produce, and a ‘refined take on familiar flavours’. Insufficient feedback for a rating this year, but it’s already a fave rave on TripAdvisor.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
