Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Lovely, tasty fresh food and very good service. We had our dog with us and they had set us a table up in the bar area which was a great spot. Staff were helpful and attentive, as others have said the portions are more than...generous so we did have to take a box home. Lots of produce is locally sourced. Well worth a visitMore

Last night of our week inNorthumberland and decided on a meal here which was close to where we were staying. Book a table in advance (recommended) and we’re warmly greeted on arrival. I opted for the seafood platter and my daughter had the sizzling chicken....Both meals were excellent and quickly served considering they are cooked to order. Service was warm and friendly and the Mai ns were followed by Baileys cheesecake and lemon posset. If you are looking for a good meal at great value for money, then this is the place. Next time we are I. The area, we will be back. Well done 👏👏👏More

Had lunch twice and also dinner with family whilst visiting the area and each time the food, drinks and service were first rate. Plenty of choice, well cooked, tasty local food served in generous portions by the lovley Louise, Mark ans the team. This small...local inn is set in the centre of the village with a small but tidy garden for when the weather is fine and you might want to eat out side (or just take a beer or two). We never fail to enjoy our visits here and will certainly be back. Highly recommended.More

As far as I can tell, the chips are home made. You won't find fresher food than that prepared at the Horseshoes.
