Northumberland's restaurant named among UK’s top 100 for fifth year running

Restaurant Pine was announced as number 38 on the National Restaurant Awards List at an awards ceremony held at The Magazine in London’s Docklands on Monday, June 8.

Now in its nineteenth year, the National Restaurant Awards celebrate the brilliance and vibrancy of the UK’s dining scene, rewarding the very best chefs, front-of-house staff, and restaurants the country has to offer.

The list of the 100 best restaurants in the UK is voted for by 200 industry experts from across the country, including chefs, restaurateurs, critics, and food writers.

Achieving a place on the list for five years in a row is a testament to the consistent quality and warmth that Pine has become known for since opening.

The restaurant, set in the heart of the Northumberland countryside, draws guests from across the UK and beyond for its distinctive, ingredient-led cooking that celebrates the region’s larder.

“Being included in the National Restaurant Awards is a huge pat on the back for the whole team, and we’re so proud of their commitment and sheer hard work,” said the co-owners Cal and Sian Byerley.

"The team has to pull together and work hard for everything to gel, and when that happens, it’s pretty special. We’re lucky to have the team that we do, people who constantly go above and beyond to ensure our guests have an amazing time when they dine with us.

"We want to say a huge thank you to every single one of them for what they do.”
