Good Northumberland Restaurant?

Bykerlass

Can anyone recommend a good restaurant in Northumblerland. We are going there next weekend, staying near Alnwick, and looking for somewhere to eat to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Just looking for somewhere special. We are not confined to Alnwick, we can drive about it anyone can recommend a good place.

Thanks.

Hi - I've never actually been but heard the Tree House restaurant is amazing - Looks gorgeous http://www.alnwickgarden.com/eat/eat-in-the-treehouse

There's also a fab coffee shop which is a bistro by night, with a farm shop attached, it's nr Druridge Bay which is absolutely gorgeous, stunning coastline. I've been a few times to the coffee shop and can vouch for the lunchtime food, the bistro should be just as good as it's all homemade food.

It's about half an hour drive from Alnwick according to google. We drive for about 45 mins to visit the coffee shop and go to the beach as it's well worth it. http://www.thecountrybarn.co.uk/

Hope this helps! Enjoy!

We have been to the Tree House. Setting was novel, food was passable, service was terrible!

Thanks for the ideas, though looks like folk don't agree with you. Have been to Northumberland loads of times but usually just out looking for photo ops. Usually rent a cottage up there, and eat at various places but was looking for something a bit different/special.

When we have been in this part we go to a small pub in Craster ( I think that is how you spell it ) opposite the smokery "Fishermans something" Google it

Yep, been there many times. If you go into the top part up the steps the views of the sea are amazing! However when I was last there the service was terrible (they really same to hate their customers) and the food was passable at best.

We had a nice meal in a pub overlooking the sea in Seahouses, no idea of the name!

I use tripadviser a lot for both hotels and restaurants especially if I am going to a strange area.
There are quite a few reviews for Northumberland

Thanks for all the advice folk, will take a look at tripadvisor for recommendations.

That'll be the Jolly Fisherman opposite Robsons smoke house.
