1. The Rose & Crown British, Modern restaurant in Romaldkirk

In the peaceful countryside of Teesdale – about 20 minutes’ drive from the High Force waterfall – this fine 18th-century coaching inn (with 14 bedrooms) provides a comfy, traditional stop-off. In the panelled dining room, there is a choice of ‘mains’ or ‘pub grub’ on the well-modernised menu – approving reviews this year include of “possibly the best sticky toffee pudding ever!”
