Widdrington Inn - Northumberland

Just been out with a friend both had sirloin steaks think they were the toughest steaks we have ever had .Been in before no problems but tonight steaks were not good

We had wanted to get out for a night and after looking through trip advisor with the filters on we found this great pub. They catered to our 2 dogs which is always handy as they both have their own issues They have a great gluten free menu which meant my partner was able to get 3 courses, in some places she struggles to get more than two options for a main. I went for the pie and mash and loved it. Great portions as well To top off Gluten free sticky toffee pudding If we are ever up this way again will be sure to pop in again

This was our first time here, it is a beautiful country pub. The food was delicious and the waiting staff were really friendly. It was almost a perfect experience until coming to pay. We were eating with a my auntie who insisted on paying the bill, however I made it clear I was discretely paid some of the bill when when ordering puddings and asked it not to mentioned when giving the final bill. We got to the till to pay and I’m presuming the manager made a big deal of the till being frozen and stating that it was “because someone has paid a portion of the bill” and then proceeded to ask whether one of us had already paid some of the bill, which was just frustrating as my auntie would have been non the wiser otherwise. Additionally, I paid a portion of the bill at least 30 minutes prior, so I am doubtful it was my transaction that caused the issue.

Disappointed as had been here before and it was much better. Hardly any gravy and when asked for more got charged for extra. Cauliflower cheese was extra too and was undercooked. Chicken was very dry.

Overcooked tasteless meat, average veg, extra charge to get more gravy. Really average Sunday lunch. The Yorkshire pudding was the only decent bit.
