Visited in August while in Hexham. A surprisingly beautiful and ancient abbey. It was freezing to enter but a donation is requested, but not mandatory. You can also pay £3.50 to down into the crypt. Well worth a visit if you in the area.

Lovely Abbey Church in a town also worth visiting. Very beautiful building with lots of interesting things to see( view photos). No entrance fee but you can give a donation either by card machine or cash. Very peaceful place with seperate chapel for private prayer.

Absolutely fantastic abbey that is vibrant, active & well worth the entry fee. We paid the extra to go down the steep steps to the original crypt from 673/4...the crypt itself was built from recycled stone from a Roman bridge at Corbridge. Roman carving & inscriptions are clear to see in the stonework. When we visited GAIA (a revolving globe art installation) was in the abbey. It looked fantastic. As a bonus the café was lovely & on a sunny day sitting in the courtyard would be bliss.

Lovely place to look at. Unfortunately we arrived late in the day so only got to enjoy the exterior of the building. They were ringing the bells which was nice. Next to the abbey is a park and the railings of the park are covered in knitted/crocheted poppies which was beautiful to see. Well done to those who made the poppies.

So beautiful. We have English Heritage card but if you don't, I would still recommend buying a ticket to look round

Beautiful welcoming Abbey. We were warmly greeted and welcomed into the Abbey. Beautiful building, free entry but you are able to donate (which I recommend). They also have a shop, cafe and toilets. I found this a very accessible please with on street disc parking nearby. Worth the visit.

A lovely Abbey. Friendly receptionist at the entrance taking tickets to see the massive Earth display. Take a moment to reflect on one's life through our planet Earth and our fragile ecosystem.

Absolutely amazing place to visit. 10th of whole site uncovered. Brilliant audio to go with the site. Free car park. Toilets in the car park. Lovely informative museum. Friendly staff.

Excellent place to visit. We arrived just in time for a free guided tour, 2.30pm. Paul, the guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the site and the areas Roman history in general.

Well worth a visit. The free audio tour enhances the outdoor experience and the timeline and indoor museum certainly helped with wider context. Helpful staff too.

A fantastic visual display of story telling around Corbridge's Roman history. The exhibition to start with was very interesting and the remains of the Roman town are easy to relate to with the audio tour which is included. Take an audio jack for headphones to best take it in.

A splendid museum, full of artefacts and very informative displays . The town itself is extensive. To best understand it and its history and evolution over time, use the free audio guides provided. They are excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The audio sets were great and explained everything in detail. And the museum part was fantastic, showing just how advanced the Romans were

Well worth the visit! The free audio guide is excellent and adds to the outside experience. The Museum timeline and exhibits provide a great overview of the Roman habitation in the area.

Fantastic place!!!! The history behind the place, the drinks, the atmosphere - can't ask for more. Cocktails have a generous amount of alcohol. Seasonal mead is absolutely delicious. Upstairs, there is a beautiful seating near the fireplace. And the stuff is so lovely and friendly! We've been back many times. Thank you for keeping this historic building alive 🙏

We didn't eat, but the tea was grand, and my beer was superb. They have a massive selection of bottled beers. It is a joy to sit in a still functional building that was built in 1318! Not the best place for tall people, and I doubt the stairways would be great for fat folk either. Great atmosphere, lovely staff, and a German radio station for background music.

My wife and I visited yesterday where we we were very well looked after by Alex. I tried the 2 on draft beers which were excellent, as well as their expresso martinis. Finally I bought 3 of their local beers (mix and match) for £13.50 which is very good value. I would definitely recommend a visit.

What a wonderful place to sit and have a coffee, in my case, but plenty of others having an alcoholic drink from their vast selection and Craft/ Guest beers too! The building has 3 floors within the old Pele (Peel) Tower. Very creatively decorated too. Do visit if you’re around the area. Nice chap running it too btw.

There's nowhere quite like this... quite possibly the most atmospheric pub I've ever visited. It's not the biggest inside but there are plenty of nooks and crannies so it's not hard to find a place - with seating across three floors. Almost feels like if an English heritage or National Trust site became a wee bar... very special.

Really unusual and unique but also so friendly and genuinely welcoming. Many thanks especially to amazing Ashley and regular Mark who made us laugh so much. Beware the stairs but well worth it for a weird and wonderful climb back into history and wee nook of comfort and cookieness

Wow! What an incredible place. It really is unique. It's on several floors, with a mezzanine level. Steep, tight, concrete, original stairways leading to different floors and rooms. So we'll decorated. Live music, on certain evenings and times. A selection of wines for sale on the groundfloor, as well as a lovely bar area. Barman was welcome and friendly. Loved every bit of it !!

So the beer garden and staff were lovely. One dish however spoiled what would have been a lovely lunch. We’d had the risotto here before and it was lovely. This time it was awful. Dry fried rice with peas, overcooked fish and bouncy scallops. The issue is once you have to send food back a lunch is ruined as one person has to wait whilst the others feel guilty eating. Refunded the plate no problem but should have been better. Waiter did try to say that the chef may not have used cream to explain why it was drier than the Sahara. My wife mentioned that it did say “creamy risotto” on the specials menu….. Was a shame.

Have been here a few times on our holiday here - both for a drink and to eat - and I have to say that it’s been a consistently good quality. Service is friendly and efficient and food is definitely at the superior end of the pub food spectrum. Sunday lunch was great (and HUGE) and the lamb shank shepherds pie and toad in the hole were both super. Nice selection of cask ale and a decent wine list. I’ve been disillusioned with Greene King since they destroyed Loch Fyne (an annoying tragedy) and a couple of poor pubs. This place suggests it is all about who owns/manages the individual establishment. And these folks are good. Highly recommended

After reading the reviews on the Black Bull regarding the food on offer we decided to go here for our lunch probably wasn't the wisest decision we have made lately...🙄🙄. On entering we were approached by a very welcoming, polite member of staff who asked where we would like to sit then handed us the menus we sat at a table then choose Toad 🐸🐸 in the hole 🕳 & chicken🐓, leek and cheese 🧀 pie. That's were the description and reality separated. The sausages in the toad in the hole were hot and tasty but the skin was a bit on the thick chewy side the Yorkshire pudding batter was more like tough shoe 👞 leather and totally inedible. The chicken 🐔 leek & cheese 🧀 pie was extremely dry with the chicken being dry and tough the leeks were burnt and bitter overall again inedible. Now, before the manager decides to offer his/her apologies for our disastrous lunch & that we should have discussed our issues with the staff, I'd ask him/her to consider that the problem started in the kitchen hence this review. Definitely not our best experience in a Green King establishment. I've given the ⭐️⭐️⭐️ that's one more than I'd usually give but the staff made up for the food experience.

Everything was brilliant. Prompt, friendly service. Burger was the best chicken burger I’ve ever had! Gorgeous food. Will definitely be back.

A regular visitor to the black bull when in corbridge, we never knew there was a pretty lil beer garden at the back all this time 😂 food and drinks usually spot on, prices fairly mid-high range, but generally always good service and friendly staff. Can be very busy at weekends so worth booking online for that.

Black Bull has always been a reliable watering hole with a decent reputation for food. Sadly, the food is not what it used to be. The standard and offerings have all gone down, no doubt fuelled by owners Greene King tightening the purse strings and offering less for more. My 2 slices of roast pork were dry, and one was coated with a gloop of gravy. The Yorkshire pudding was flat and chewy, and the accompanying veg portion came straight from the school dinner playbook. See pic. I will not be eating there in the future, but I will pop by for a relaxing drink.

Love this pub. Food is top notch and the service staff are a real good bunch. We take the family once a month and are never disappointed. The Wellington down in riding mill has the same menu but is inferior in service amd food for some reason. The Wellington is not a bad pub...just the bull pulls it off better. Lovely clients, historic building, Sunday runners are sound, recommend the chicken and bacon burger with all the trimmings. Even the bairns do not finish it up....and a nice pint!

Known as the prettiest racecourse, I would agree. We went hospitality for my husband's birthday and the staff couldn't have been more helpful, both leading up to the day and on the day itself. It is a small hospitality compliment, so would suggest booking ahead of time. We were successful from a waiting list. They even put a birthday message in the racecard. Would certainly recommend!

I attended Hexham as an owner for the first time today. Most picturesque track I’ve been at and I loved the grass slopes and the amazing views of the track and the scenery beyond the track. On the downside, I waited in the queue for around 30 minutes for my entry badge, was going to miss my race (the first race). There were still a lot of people ahead of me so I had to brass it and managed to get in without a badge and managed to catch the race. Really not good and I’ve never experienced this at any of the tracks I’ve been to before, and there have been many. I managed to go pick up my badge after the race but if security had been tight I would not have made it in time for my race. Also, the gentleman managing the barrier at the entry to the parade ring physically pushed me back to lower the barrier. Very very disappointing experience and something the track management need to review, specifically the entry process.

Beautiful location, Friendly racecourse staff .Caravan site always immaculate as are toilets and showers. John who runs the site is always extremely helpful and well appreciated by guests.

We had a wonderful day with our family. The weather wasn't the best. Great viewing of the horses. Everything was so easy. Placing bets, food drinks. Great staff. Good direction to get there. We would definitely go again

Fabulous chilled atmosphere, I was also over the moon to see so many people arrived with their dogs. I wasn't aware that you could bring your dog to the racing. I was very impressed with the amount of vets around to help if any horse had any problems before or after. Happily they were not needed. I enjoyed using my camera for the first time In a long time, building up my confidence again.

Set in beautiful countryside, but prone to gusty winds, but who cares, great experience.

Lovely little racecourse with magnificent views and excellent staff please note you require a taxi or Bus from town because its all up hill walking over 2 miles with no safe walking

This establishment is noted as dog friendly... This is an understatement! Thoroughly pleased with the service for ourselves and the pampered pooch. The staff were all amazing and very accommodating and the food was amazing!

This restaurant never train or educate their staff for sure. Male Waiter so rude and unfriendly! We booked a table on Sunday night for my Birthday dinner. Waitress (female) she was friendly and warm welcome. Then another waiter (Male) come around asked for drink- we order just a large still water. He give me some ice and I don't want it. No ice please, I said Next time tell me first if you don't want, Waiter said How do I know will you served me ice , you need to asked your customers! I am there for first time! and 2-3 min ago he went back and ask for order but we are not ready yet, so we said give us couple minutes please. Our restaurant closed at 8pm , waiter said We already know that, that is reason why we booked table 6.45pm! Unbelievable! If you are not happy to do your work so go back to sleep! We will never go back to this restaurant again and will not recommend to our friends and family!

Lovely appetizers but service was chaotic with multiple servers, also asking for missing drinks, and the waitress refusing parmesan cheese for pizza, just spent £180 on bills and tight on cheese.. pizza wasn't for me, nice but not for me needed beer well-done, more bread and tomato sauce was missing flavour.. only one draught larger over £6 and pint of coke wasn't a pint but a large glass... We enjoyed it but overall it was not for us... Oh the special cordon blue is very delish, but £22, one off. We also for a large bill got no free shots or comp drinks like other Italians, and .services we go to.

Pre planned stop on my motorcycle tour based a good Google feedback. 👍🏻 attentive staff and manager, busy but efficient and very friendly and helpful, good noticing skills too. I had the pizza which was AMAZING! Thank you 🙏

4 of us went for lunch. We shared 2 starters between the 4 of us. Garlic mushrooms being one. They were so so tasty perfectly cooked with just enough garlic to keep dracular away. They I had a chicken parmo . It's was incredible and we will be returning. Service was ok......... we doing get the full welcoming vibe but we were not offened. I recommend you try this place

Popular Italian restaurant so we booked on a Monday night and just as well we did as pretty full. Beautiful interior, friendly staff and comfy seats. Lovely 3 slice bruschetta which we were pleased we shared then quattro stagionni pizza for me and chicken Kiev pizza for him. Good size and tasty if a little too soggy. Fabulous stringy cheese that went everywhere! Not too keen on the ham on mine tho

Very good food. Friendly and helpful service. Good atmosphere. Although strange choice of music for an Italian restaurant 🤔

The food was delicious! And the service was wonderful. At first we were reluctant to pay extra for vegan cheese (massive pet hate of ours when you're charged extra for vegan products, or if you have the dairy products removed and they charge you the same), however, the extra £2 for the vegan cheese was well worth it after the owner came and spoke to us and explained that it's homemade with a special recipe. Honestly one of the best vegan cheeses we've had. He could easily make a business making this alone! We had the vegan nachos to share for a starter, then a quesadilla and burrito. Very tasty and I love how they ask your required spice level. The staff were friendly and attentive. The owner was incredibly helpful and I loved his passion for his food. 100% recommend and I can't wait to return!!!

Visited here today with my mam as we were on a day trip to Hexham, and it was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we walked in the door, the service was welcoming, and we knew that the food was going to be good. We both ordered naked burritos, with my mam ordering the fajita chicken and me getting the beef brisket, and the portion sizes were just right. I also ordered the horchata as I had heard many good things, and rightly so, because it was delicious. Overall, a 5 star experience from start to finish, and somewhere that I would come back to Hexham for just to have the food again.

Outstanding dishes, decor and experience at this brilliant independent restaurant. This wonderful place would be a jewel in the crown of any city in the world; Hexham is incredibly lucky to have it, spicing up its night life and town centre. After a terrifically tasty burrito, I selfishly ordered their Tuesday Taco offer. I simply couldn’t get enough! Thank you and congratulations on your wonderful restaurant.

If you want authentic, great Mexican food this is the real deal! Fantastic home made and fresh!! Great juices and wonderful hot chocolate made from cocoa grown by the owner! Kids loved it and so did we! Wish we had this place in Leeds. A gem of a place!

Great find whilst on holiday. Super friendly staff and brilliant service. Lovely food and drinks and so helpful we tried and tested all their chocolate samples and took some home. So good we have booked a table for tomorrow.

This is one of those places that doesn't look like much from the outside, but as soon as you walk in you would swear you're in Mexico. The smells, music, people, and general vibe are great, and the food is easily the best Mexican food we've had. It tastes so authentic, down to the flavour of the maize flour they use, but is a tiny bit expensive, e.g. £2 for a 30ml(ish) tub of guacamole. The churros are a MUST. Honestly, just trust me and order them, you won't be sorry!

We were only in town for the day so popped in for lunch having seen the award winning notice on the restaurant window. Food was very good and the staff are really enthusiastic about there product, the young lad making up the food was really helpful with advice on what was available, heat levels and even showed us how the nacho/tortilla machine worked as they make them from scratch on site. Wish you were nearer to where we live.

Great dog friendly pub in the center of Corbridge. Large sunny beer garden out back. Great value Sunday lunch, £12.50, which included cauliflower cheese & pigs in blankets perfectly cooked meats. Service was perfect and quick.

Really friendly staff, great food ( Sunday roast ) If you're a Newcastle fan, you'll love the decor.

Arrived without a booking on a busy Sunday afternoon in Corbridge but this wasn't a problem. All the staff and manger were friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The Sunday carvery was plentiful and tasty at a great price for the offering. Well worth a visit.

Had a Sunday dinner here about a year ago and it was nice. Went this week and the chicken curry and rice was terrible. The chips were also burnt and the only saving grace was that the portion sizes were very small. The atmosphere was also terrible as all that was playing on the TV screens was Who wants to be a millionaire - I think from the 80s with Chris Tarrant!!! Sorry, will not be back.

Sunday lunch for £12.50 and a nice tasty plate full. Friendly staff brought our dog water without asking then some biscuits. Beer garden at back of pub. Would recommend.

Collected 2 Sunday Lunch’s as gift for in laws on Father’s Day. Short wait for the order but staff kept me updated. Dinners (pork) were delicious, hot and plentiful (in fact they struggled to eat it all) Really good value too.

No food available during this visit but bar staff friendly enough,,not too expensive, an overall decent experience

We did not booked and arrived 19:00 for a table for two. Lovely meal and staff very pleasant. However, the resteraunt is rather dark inside. Staircase too and from toilet is rather steep.... we felt we were rushed from our table.

Very good value, 2 course lunch £19. All of thd food was delicious. The lady who served us was friendly and polite.. Definitely worth a visit.

Danielle's Bistro - the kind of place you think about telling everyone, but secretly want to keep for yourself. My favourites are firmly established: honey-roasted beetroot with feta to start and cheesecake to finish (because why change perfection?) In between, the sea bass with prawns was a reminder that some kitchens don't just cook, they care. A bistro where routines become rituals and where returning feels less like repetition and more like reward ❤️

This is a lovely find in Hexham. It is an 'old fashioned' bistro serving beautifully cooked and prepared meals. The decor was quaint in a way but perfectly suited the feel of the place. The proprietor was welcoming, his staff friendly and their attention to detail first class. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was melt in the mouth.

Called in here after rhe races on the off chance they had a table and luckily they squeezed us in as we were early. It got really busy so would reccomend booking. Really good value fixed price menus good choice and a good wine selection too.

Danielle's is the perfect place for a cozy, suitably priced, and delicious meal for anyone looking for both filling and delicious portions. The menu offers a wide selection of pub/bistro classics, slightly fancier dishes and some knockout signatures, all for a comfortable price and all executed to near-perfection. You can tell that whoever designed the menu has a real understanding and appreciation for flavour combinations and textures, as well as the kitchen being able to cook them wonderfully. The drinks menu is great, with a good selection of soft and hard beverages that can accompany your meal, ask any of the very helpful, smiley and professional staff for help with drinks or anything really! The (I presume weekly or daily) blackboard dessert specials are brilliant too with dishes such as truly, melt in your mouth sticky toffee pudding or a healthy selection of ice cream and sorbet flavours. The setting and serving was brilliant with a nice wait time before the meal arrived, and a wonderful calming ambient hub-bub of chatter and music. I also noticed that they cater to the younger ones among us too and didn't see any issues with them serving kids as young as 3/4! Currently their coronavirus measures are excellent and appropriate, with face screens, disinfectants and social distancing.

So friendly and good value. The cheese souffle is gorgeous also the desserts, such as the cheesecake and the brandy basket Attractive place too.
