Wark on Tyne, Hexham, NE48 3LS
Harden's survey result
Summary
Claiming to be the only hotel in the UK with its own onsite observatory – and enjoying a location with clear skies, north of Hexham – this rural pub with rooms occupies an eighteenth- century farmhouse and is consistently highly rated all round. The food is mostly superior pub grub, but there is a fancy five-course and eight-course menu too if you want to push the boat out.
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).

Owner's description
Look out for dishes including oak smoked duck, chicken and salmon from nearby Bywell Smokery. Vegetarian choices are always available. Our cooking style is primarily modern British but always add some international choices for those with a more cosmopolitan palate.
During summer we grow many of our own herbs, salads, vegetables and many different fruit varieties within our kitchen garden
We have a range of menus planned around seasonal availability of fresh produce to suit every price and palate, from snacks, sandwiches and fresh salads to full a-la-carte including succulent steaks, seasonal game and vegetables, freshwater fish and tasty seafood.
Our policy is to source the freshest local ingredients wherever possible.
