A “fabulous country pub” that’s been serving the local community for two centuries and sits on a hill in this charismatic village between Hadrian’s Wall and Tyne & Wear. Chef-owner Rhian Craddock was championing local and sustainable cooking long before it was trendy, and that ethos informs the “outstanding menu”, which is full of “quality food at very reasonable prices”. PS – they also sell bakery goods on Saturday mornings, with a pizza pop-up due to return in spring.

Chef-owner Rhian Cradock, who took over the 200-year-old drovers’ inn 15 years ago, has long been ahead of the curve as a champion of “locally sourced quality food”, sustainability and ethical practices – and his prices are generous, too. A “fantastic village pub – it serves the locals well while consistently turning out high-quality dishes”: “the produce and the care that goes into their production is amazing”.

“Difficult to find but really worth the effort”, Rhian Craddock's “welcoming village pub/restaurant” features “the very best cooking using local Northumbrian produce and fish from the harbours” (well it did help to kickstart the local/seasonal food thang some years back). It’s exceptional value given its quality and affordable prices.

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).
