    Excellent food, friendly staff and good location but the sheer volume of people coming and going, and its affect on staff stress levels, was noticeable. Maybe space bookings out by another, say, 15 minutes?

    Staff were friendly and efficient and the food was good. I had a Thai fish curry and my wife had wild boar sausages both were well cooked and very tasty. Some cushions on the wooden chairs would have been welcome.

    Food was delicious and there was a good choice on the menu. The service was excellent. It is a lovely restaurant inside with a beautiful bear garden.

    This restaurant/bar is outstanding and one of the best in Northumberland for it's food, service and hospitality. This has to be a 5 star recommendation and well worth a visit to sample the whole ambiance and quality of food. Tip Top

    A very enjoyable evening. Excellent food quality and a good menu. Love the atmosphere and good service not rushed. Cocktails were excellent and a different presentation. Our Pinot Noir was a bit disappointing for £55 but otherwise a very good experience.

    Food was excellent. However from placing our order to food appearing on the table was over 50 minutes. Appreciate it may have been freshly prepared but I don't think we've ever waited that long for food to arrive.

    This hidden gem is fantastic for variety of seafood dishes, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. The service is attentive without being invasive and very relaxed. I would highly recommend this place

    As ever the bar and bar staff were fantastic. We booked a 2.30pm table for Sunday lunch and were extremely disappointed to be told that the beef roast had run out. We were offered a chicken supreme alternative which was a strange option to go with Yorkshire pudding etc. However, we did have fish and chips that were very nice. I guess we were just disappointed with the lack of Sunday lunch.
