The Bridge - Northumberland

I used to enjoy The Bridge and will continue to visit because it is generally a great pub with a park outside and I have heard about great discos happening there, although I have not attended any myself. However, since it was taken over by new owners, the food seems to have declined. The food used to be unique to the pub and gave it a special charm, distinguishing it from chain pubs like Greene King or Sizzler. Unfortunately, the food is now quite standard and has lost its special touch. Additionally, the atmosphere in the pub has changed and I no longer feel comfortable there. It seems to attract rowdy and potentially troublesome individuals, and I have witnessed the owner getting into altercations with customers as I drove by. Despite these negatives, the bar staff are still friendly.

First visit. Recommended by friends. Didn’t disappoint. Sunday carvery was delicious, so tasty. Wasn’t sure if any room for pudding , but decided to go for it So pleased we did , these were just the best . Photos don’t do the food justice.. veg is piled on top of 3 meats Remembered to take a photo of Syrup sponge near the end !

Food is gorgeous and very reasonably priced for the quality. The burgers are recommended and are served with Home made chips! The southern fried chicken burger is delicious and husband had the mega burger and said it was amazing. I even managed a dessert and I didn't leave a spoonful- I was so full but it was too good to leave any! The staff were so helpful and friendly. Can't fault the place. Can't wait to go back.... my mouth is watering writing this review! Highly recommend.

I was staying at the Premier Inn down the road that had a beefeater attached but I refuse to pay those prices. Hence I chose the Bridge, it's a 10 minute walk (if that) or 2 minute drive and I made a great choice. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by a friendly lady (think someone called her Michelle) and a gentleman asking me to give my details (this is Covid times). She then asked me where I wanted to sit and ad I asked to be in front of a TV for sport she gave me the choice of any channel, other TVs had different events on them, at least 3 good size TVs. The pub was clean, homely and looked like a seperate eating area at the far side of the bar. I ordered food at the bar and had a southern fried chicken strip burger with chips. Plenty chicken and filling inside served on a wooden plinth. Very tasty it was too. Cost about £8 or £9 It seems to me to be a very friendly locals pub and I felt comfortable eating here, was made to feel welcome and valued and would definitely recommend it. Would have come again Friday but I chose to visit Holy Island and misread the tide information so got stranded for a few hours and didn't make it off till late. Great food, very nice staff

The carvery at this restaurant is excellent for Sunday lunch. It's great value for money and the staff are friendly and approachable. The beef was cooked perfectly and the gravy was the best I've ever had. I couldn't find any faults with my experience.
