It is our intention to serve the very best food and ale in a relaxed, informal yet thoroughly professionally run environment.

We aim to bring you the very finest cooking using local produce. We also supply Deli Fina in Gosforth with our homemade produce.

Winners of the Good Pub Guide Northumbria dining pub of the year 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011

We have just won Great British Pub of the Year 2011 and Great Birtish Gastro- Pub of the year 2011.

It is my belief that the best quality ingredients have always been available in the North of England. I use these to create a pub where seasonal, locally produced fresh food and drink are key. The people of the North East are passionate about their region, and the area is not yet nationally renowned for food. My aim is to create immaculate dishes, presented simply with high quality yet relaxed service. To showcase the great producers in the region. It is my belief that we should be as proud of our food (heritage and present) as our football team.

There are almost no other pubs like this in the North east for tradition and character. We have a truly regional style of food rare amongst even North East restaurants.
