Found in the heart of West Thirston, the Northumberland Arms welcomes you with a rustic interior and a charming beer garden, complete with covers for those *occasional* British rain showers. The true highlight of this establishment is the team’s commitment to crafting each dish with the freshest local ingredients, ensuring a dining experience that's second to none.
Begin your meal with the delectable starters, such as the twice-baked cheddar soufflé, elegantly enhanced with chives, or indulge in a ham hock terrine accompanied by onion chutney, house pickles, a soft hens egg, and puff pastry soldiers. For those favouring a lighter option, savour the chickpea panzanella salad, a harmonious blend of heritage tomatoes, garlic sourdough, and fresh basil. If you're dining with a group, the sharer dishes are perfect for satisfying collective cravings. Delight in sea salt and olive focaccia paired with olive oil and balsamic, or relish a sumptuous fish platter featuring fish cakes, breaded haddock, smoked salmon, and a crayfish cocktail.
For lovers of classic pub fare, the Northumberland Arms presents tempting options like the pie of the day, served with mash and buttered greens, or the ever-popular steak frites. Don't miss our crispy chicken schnitzel, or the mouthwatering pork fillet Wellington, complemented by caramelised cauliflower purée, cabbage, onions, and cheesy truffled potatoes.
The side dishes elevate your meal with flavours, including black truffle and aged parmesan fries and beer-battered onion rings. Finally, conclude your dining experience on a sweet note with our dark chocolate tart, paired with griottine cherries and a zesty orange mascarpone.
