Loved this place. Great atmosphere and relaxing and comfortable. Great aesthetic inside and out. Dog friendly inside and out. Bowl of water was brought straight over when we sat down. We sat inside. The food was excellent. Staff friendly. Did I mention dog friendly. Right behind Beamish Hall Hotel. Also next to Beamish museum. Free parking. Beautiful grounds. Would definitely recommend.
I was in the bar recently on bank holiday Monday. I witnessed what I would call a “privileged middle aged man” being really aggressive and threatening towards a young lady behind the bar. This persons behaviour was extremely unacceptable and in my opinion, the young lady handled the situation exceptionally. The whole premises was extremely busy, and her and young boy behind the bar worked really hard, and showed tremendous empathy to all customers about the delays. All customer bar one went home happy, but who cares about him.
I was treated to afternoon tea here at the Stables Bar and Restaurant. It was just delicious . I had the vegan afternoon tea and there was 3 sandwiches, a sausage roll , 3 cakes and 2 scones with jam and clotted cream. A coffee pot to myself and we all enjoyed what we had. It was December and so it all was very festive. Hope to go again one day.
Another one of our impromptu visits and was happily surprised by the food. Wife ordered a starter of mussels and we both thought we accidentally ordered the main because of the sheer size that in itself is a bonus (can never have enough right?) Hopefully photos do it justice but my steak sandwich was just so yummy All round delicious
Good quality food although the fries I had this time around were a quite raw and could have done with some more minutes in the fryer but it didnt spoil the rest of our meal. Service was good although one of the servers who asked if we wanted any condiments went to get them and then forgot to bring them over. Overall the food and service were good and I would highly recommend eating here whilst staying at Beamish Hall.
My wife and I went for a meal here on a dinner bed breakfast deal at The Beamish Hotel. It was excellent, the food was divine. I had large prawns cooked in garlic with a dipping sauce of spring onions, garlic,coriander and oil, to say "tasty" doesn't do it justice. I would highly recommend this restaurant as all the food was of a good standard. The breakfast was a good start to the day and so fresh. Try it for yourselves, you won't be disappointed.
Lovely evening. Great service and delicious food. We had booked our table for later in the evening but arrived early and the lovely restaurant manager fitted us in and gave us a table early. The food was absolutely delicious. Thai chicken cakes & Moules starters, mutton tagine & seabass mains followed by mango panda cotta & Cheeseboard. Good bottle of house red to wash it down. Very attentive waitress, pre- empting extra Crockery, cutlary, ice etc before having to ask for them. Can definitely recommend and looking forward to going back. Staying at Beamish Hall overnight which is also really nice.
We enjoyed breakfast and dinner here over three nights. The food and service were fantastic. We were travelling with two young children and the staff made us feel so welcome. Suzanne went out of her way to help calm an upset toddler. She gave her a toy each night and was so lovely. She was fantastic. An absolute asset to the team. Thank you Suzanne.
