The Highlander

With a welcoming bar specialising in local beers and fine wines. We serve flavoursome home-cooked food, and our seasonal menu celebrates local Northumbrian produce.

If you’re looking to enjoy delicious pub food, a fabulous selection of real ales and wines, and a hearty dose of traditional Northumbrian hospitality, The Highlander certainly won’t disappoint. All served up in stylish but cosy surroundings, alongside dog friendly areas and our new beer garden.

Situated just outside Ponteland towards the historic village of Belsay, our former coaching inn dates back to the 1700’s. The building is steeped in heritage and has been empathetically restored for your family and friends to enjoy.
The Highlander is also available for private hire.  With a choice of three spaces available for exclusive hire, there is definitely something to suit your event.  These range from corporate events to family gatherings.
 
For all you on the road travellers, we allow your motorhome in our car park overnight as long as you book a table reservation in the pub, during opening hours (Thursday-Sunday only). Call us to book your motorhome reservation.
 
We look forward to welcoming new and old customers to this hidden gem.
