The Northumberland Arms also gets overwhelmingly positive comments including “food was lovely” “service is first class” and “very pleasant atmosphere and staff.”
This is the latest in a long line of awards for both venues, with The Blackbird named North East Pub of the Year in the North East Tourism Awards in March and the Northumberland Arms also receiving Travellers’ Choice Awards in the past two years.

Hide AdThe Northumberland Arms, a former coaching inn built in the 1820s, has received a £70,000 refurbishment since it was acquired by the company just before the Covid pandemic began. It now offers a seasonal menu and six individually-styled bedrooms.
The Blackbird, meanwhile, recently launched a new menu which pledged to cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan diners.
Stuart Young, owner of the Northumberland Pub Company, is thrilled with the fact both venues have been singled out.
“It’s fantastic that both The Northumberland Arms and The Blackbird have received these awards because they are as a result of comment by the people who matter – our customers,” he said.
