The Northeast Restaurants

Make sure to sample fine local meats and produce. Look for restaurants that serve game from the Kielder Forest, local lamb from the hillsides, salmon and trout from the rivers, and shellfish, crab, and oysters from the coast. Outside the cities, the region lags somewhat behind other parts of England in terms of good places to eat, although there are special spots to be found. Aside from the ubiquitous chains, the best bets are often small country pubs that serve the traditional, hearty fare associated with the region. Don't wait until 9 pm to have dinner, though, or you may have a hard time finding a place that’s still serving.

  • 2. Greenhead Hotel

    $$

    This pretty stone-built pub-hotel is one of the region's best (and best value) dining options. The delicately flavored and beautifully presented dishes, from cured sea trout with cucumber salsa to lamb rump with potato terrine and wild garlic, would seem more at home in a fine-dining restaurant than a village pub if it weren't for the remarkably low prices. A three-course lunch will set you back just £21. More regular pub dishes, like fish-and-chips and beef burgers, are also available, and also far better than you'd expect for the prices. Too full to move? Book yourself into one of the seven well-appointed rooms upstairs.
