Locally sourced in Northumberland
We love a cup of tea in Northumberland, the birthplace of Earl Grey and his namesake drink, and we have an array of cafes and tearooms for you to experience. To go with your cuppa you really must try a cake or chocolate from a local artisan producer, or why not go for the full works with a spot of afternoon tea?
For those a little hungrier looking for food on the move we’ve got some fantastic ‘takeaway’ places for a light snack or belly busting crab 'stottie' sandwich or the classic fish and chips.
Restaurants can be high profile or quietly tucked away on a cobbled street in Northumberland’s towns and villages just waiting to be discovered. Wether you are looking for delicious seafood or traditional Sunday lunches, either way you won’t be disappointed. Northumberland is packed with attractive pubs offering a warm welcome, freshly brewed ale from one of the county’s microbreweries as well as gin, rum and mead all made in Northumberland, it’s no wonder visitors keep coming back for more.
Proud of our Northumbrian produce, the Produced in Northumberland verification scheme guarantees you authentic Northumberland food and drink.
