Purdy Lodge Bar Grill Restaurant

We were on a visit to Bamburgh Castle when we hit a massive pothole. Limped back to the Purdy Service Station. No help from the hire car company at all so luckily we found the Purdy Lodge. Whilst Hubbie is trying to get the car sorted, I booked us in for bed, dinner and breakfast. All I can say is what a really lovely stay we had. Room was more that adequate and comfy. Dinner was really lovely, bed great, breakfast really nice. Staff could not have been more helpful and given our circumstances, we really appreciated that they went beyond by offering us to use their landline. Perfect place to visit, stopover on a trip. Highly recommend.

6 of us stayed 2 nights had breakfast and supper could not fault meals we all had different meals over the 2 days 2 other family members joined us for tea and they also enjoyed it.Rooms were spotless,Staff were friendly and helpful nothing too much trouble thank you for a lovely stay.

This restaurant review is extremely negative. The bathrooms were dirty and smelled of urine, with soggy toilet paper and sticky floors. The coffee and cake served in the cafe were disgusting, with coffee residue in the drinks and expired brownies and scones. After getting fresh coffee, they were fine, but overall the cafe was filthy with dirty table legs and carpets. The reviewer does not recommend this overpriced and dirty cafe.

The food was absolutely gorgeous. Between 4, we ordered 2 belly pork with black pudding mash, gammon, and a roast beef dinner. the portions were more than ample, and the food was so tasty. The puddings were lovely, especially the apple crumble and the sticky toffee pudding. The staff are so pleasant and helpful. The Belhaven pint is creamy and smooth . Overall, from the outside you might be mistaken to think it is just another motorway services but you would be sadly mistaken. The Purdy Lodge is a definite place to stop at whether to eat and/or sleep. A definite 5 star place

Great place to stop for a bite to eat on the A1. Food is fresh, service is fast, prices are sensible. Plenty of parking and comfortable
