peasepud 59 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Looking to head out New Years day for a nice spot of lunch and could quite fancy a quiet country place, log fires and all that malarky. Can anyone recommend somewhere ideally in Northumberland or North Durham (ie 20miles or so radius of toon). Normally we'd go to the Lion and Lamb in Horsely but I fancy trying somewhere different, one possible is the Rat Inn at Anick near Hexham (not a misspelling of Alnwick), anyone been there lately?

Love the L & L at Horsely. Mrs hips says to tell you (and everyone else) that The Hearth across the street from the L & L does the 'best cheeses cones ever'. How about The Angler's Arms on the way to Rothbury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lap dancing club nextdoor called The Rat Out. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) The Black Bull up next to Alnwick is meant to be nice, but for me you can't wack the jingleing Gate in westerhope for value and service, not exactly country pub but the scran is bonza.

peasepud 59 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Soooooo, where d'ya go, Pud ??? You're not going to be happy mate. Decided to just goto the Lion and Lamb, when we got there at 12.30 it was quiet, grabbed a table ordered a drink then read the menu. Its all changed, the proper good food has gone and been replaced with a standard bar meals menu. Scampi, sausages chips and beans, that sort of thing so in the words of the NOTW we supped up, made our excuses and left. This worries me though, the L&L has always been my safe option, just hope it doesnt go for Sunday lunch as well! Ended up driving round for half and hour trying the likes of the Black Bull at Stamfordham just to find it was shut so ended up finally at the Badger in Ponteland, canny scran but small portions. Wasnt too bad though in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
