This Restaurant was visited by her indoor's for Christmas lunch at the beginning of December 2016 who obtained a menu up until the end of January 2017 and I noticed a Game night was on the menu for the evening of the 26/01/17 so we booked up for six o clock it was priced at 2 courses for £10 or 3 courses for £12 starters were as follows Pigeon terrine with cumberland sauce with melba toast,Chicken consomme, Smoked salmon & asparagus salad with horseradish dressing& shiso. Mains Venison loin with roasted shallots saffron potatoes,celeriac & garlic puree with red wine jus ,Sauteed breast of duck with confit duck leg fondant potato baby broccoli green beans & orange sauce. Chicken with pea & mint risotto Desserts Cinnamon churros with chocolate sauce, Vanilla souffle with chocolate ice cream, strawberry pannacotta with strawberry preserve. We started off with the smoked salmon which came with a warm bread bun we both agreed it was very nice and our main's was the venison which we waited for about less then ten minutes for the venison was very very nice and cooked to perfection as was everything else that came with it. I had the strawberry pannacotta for dessert and her in door's had some thing that had actually been changed on the menu but not worded she had apple cheesecake which she enjoyed, The pannacotta was fantastic. Now the portions weren't huge but they were very filling and the presentation was very good as well,obviously as the address suggests this is a training college and the tutor did come out to meet us unfortunately we were the only dinner's in that night he did mention that a few table's had cancelled on the night (probably due to the coldest night this winter up to now had summit to do with it) he told us that they were trying to build up the restaurant I reckon if they keep producing fare like we had it shouldn't take long hopefully, We had drink's with our meal 2 rose wine's a larger, lime& soda a tea & coffee and the total Bill came to £36 a bargain eh,We also came away with another menu for February which includes a steak night less then £20 for two think we'll be back for that So we enjoyed it so why not be bold and give it a go they also have a lunch time menu and afternoon tea

Fabulous to find somewhere I can eat out (and have choice) while sticking to my cholesterol lowering diet. Will definitely be returning for more. Helpful, friendly advice given on diet too.

Fish & Chips..the great British invention !..and this local chippy should be given historical status because it ticks every box when our surveys says... Yes, every time, at meal times you will wait because you know you are asked personally what you want, it is chosen and cooked right there and always someone has some banter while you wait ! The staff are friendly and answer any questions with a smile. Your job is to be patient and take in the aromas and marvel at tradition happening right before your eyes. Your meal... Chips are always plentiful and your fish, the batter cooked to perfection. It is easily the best 'chippy' in the east Northumberland area. Prices are reasonable, the service fantastic and the food devine. Do not deny yourself the chance to experience this chip shop. As the song goes..yee shall hev a fishy on your Kielder dishy...and you'll really love it, when your plate is done !! ( sung to tune of Northern folk song)

Looking for somewhere else to eat!This place is absolutely amazing, yes first impressions tell you to run, run like the wind in the opposite direction however ignore the car park and smokers outside and head straight into the restaurant.In there you will find food to rival any Newcastle restaurant charging twice the price, good quality ingredients and chefs who know exactly what to do with them. I've been here dozens of times now, from lunchtimes with tandoori wraps and beef stotties through to pizza the size of your arm and chicken kiev to die for. I wouldn't normally order something as boring as a kiev but every time I go now it gets harder to decided what to get, this one time (at band camp....nope that's a different story) I gave up and just randomly selected the kiev.It was better than winning the lottery, a full kiev sliced on the plate with excellent chips, salad and a jug of garlic butter to pour over!!There has only ever been one place in my reviews to rival the Fox Cover and that was Niblicks at Arcot Hall, even that, in its heyday was given a good run for its money by Fox Cover.

So this is not the first time I walked in the pub at 6.30 pm and half the pubs tables are reserved and the place practically empty! this absolutely grates me, every table I went to sit at was 'table reserved' tables still empty come the time the tables reserved for.. utterly ridiculous. Come on Ash Dene sort it outhello thanks for your feedback the tables are requested for the charity quiz nights which are very busy why don't you just ring and reserve one yourself on a Tuesday this is the only night this happens and you are able to sit on those tables until a specified time sorry if this causes any inconvenience

After a few hours walking the wonderful, wind-swept Druridge Bay we were in need of a hot drink and something to eat. The Drift Cafe is located just outside of Cresswell and was recommended to us.From the outside it looks like a large transport cafe and inside it didn't have much of an atmosphere, although seemed very popular. The staff were not overly friendly, but our order of drinks and food was brought speedily. My wife had an aprocot and vanilla scone, while I tried their bap filled with haggis, black pudding, bacon and egg - the choice being based more on it being a challenge than for its nutritional content. The scone and bap were both OK but probably wouldn't choose them again. There are no menus on the tables with customers having to view choices from meues on a wall.The Drift Cafe is dog-friendly.

Discovered this restaurant by chance but what a gem. There is limited parking outside the building which was disappointing. However, our meal was excellent. The Roast Beef was cooked to perfection and the portions sizes very generous. The gravy delicious. The service was excellent and waitresses and extremely friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.

We have been here a few times as it really does offer a lovely Sunday dinner. Visited 1st September and ordered two small & 2 medium carvery. Choice of veg was good; chefs were friendly and hardworking. Only gripe I had was the beef was so tough I couldnât eat it. Ordered a slice of salted caramel cheesecake; absolutely lovely. Little lady with blonde hair and glasses on the bar was pleasant enough, as was the man with the cool trousers who took us to our table. All in all a good visit and the prices are pretty reasonable. Can I suggest one thing though; the lighting is really dim and I think it would benefit from some more wall lighting just to brighten it up a bit as it is quite sombre.

Steakhouse and carvery, selling fantastic burgers and smokehouse, with some of the best steak at tremendous prices.
Reviewed By NorthumberlandNomad
Spontaneous decision to go out for a steak but more importantly a good steak, and the latter in Northumberland can be a challenge. After some searching we opted to go for Moo Moo at the Conchie pub. Iâm so glad I did, firstly to be honest from the outside itâs not going to win any awards however I didnât come here to admire the outside, itâs the steaks that drew me and I wasnât let down.The service was top dollar which when mixed with probably one of the best tasting steaks Iâve had in a Northumberland and Newcastle made for a fantastic decision. Plus when you go to a lot of steak houses these days the chips are if the frozen type that are bought from cash and carry outlets for pennies. Agree though they are homemade and taste like it. The whole experience was first class and I highly recommend eating here if you like your steaks
