Ravensworth

called in for Sunday lunch. friendly staff, swift service, food superb. portions more than filling! place was packed, good atmosphere, no complaints

Went in here one Sunday and the food was fab! The place itself was very busy and a 20 minute wait for a table, so it might be worth booking in advance. But once seated, the order was taken in no time and food took about 20minutes to appear. I myself went for the venison pie lovely! Others went for the Sunday dinner which you could go large for an extra £1.50 doubling up on your yorkshire pudding and roasties (HUGE plate) and hen a trio of burgers, which looked fab. They also offer a lunch time special consisting of different meals from £3.99. The food here is very homely, not your bog standard food at a reasonable price! Defo a recommend from me and will be going back sometime soon.

This is a lovely traditional cosy pub set back enough from the A1 to allow you to believe that you are in the countryside.
The bar is big and friendly, due to its location it is somewhere you have to drive to (unless you spalsh out on taxis) and to accomodate there is a big carpark which is free.
The food is good and what you would expect to find in a pub and some lovely traditional English desserts. The atmosphere is great and it is generally really busy because of the good food and the fact it is family-​friendly.
