Ravensworth Arms

We called after a walk on a cold/wet autumn day after driving passed. Noticed it was dog friendly so called in on our way home for lunch. Great pub, friendly service and the food was lovely. Lots to choose from for my little girl (6 year old) for her dinner and also me and my wife had plenty to choose from. it arrived at the table very quickly and was lovely. We sat by the open fire warming up, which our dog massively appreciated :) We'll definitely be back again and highly recommend it to anyone.

We were spending one night locally, 18th October, and just wanted something casual and close by for dinner - this was recommended by Park Farm Hotel where we were staying. We were so impressed ! Such a nice welcome from the lady at the bar and brilliant service all round - the staff really worked well together as a team. The food was actually amazing ! We shared the No Leaf Salad with Butternut Squash to start, then my husband had the Keralan Chickpea Curry while I had Beetroot Ravioli. So nice ! But my favourite was dessert : Caramelised Vanilla Cheesecake which came with red berries, raspberry coulis and clotted cream ice cream. It was so good, nicest dessert I've had in ages. I had to find the chef to say thanks ! Husband had Bramley Apple Tart with coconut vanilla ice cream and loved it. Everything was beautifully presented - they like a pea shoot in here ! We really enjoyed our evening at the Ravensworth Arms : x

We had lunch here on a very busy Thursday, due to a large group function. However, the staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly, directing us to the inside area where dogs are allowed, supplying water bowl for our dog and a couple of treats. Food and drinks arrived within good time. At the edge of the carpark is a gateway to a nature reserve which we would have explored further, but didn't have the right footwear. However, we spotted Angel of the North through the trees, set the satnav and went to find it! That made my day!

Fabulous place for holidaying with a dog. We had two small dogs with us and they loved the place. Joined us for breakfast everyday, welcomed by friendly staff. They got used to the routine and looked forward to their morning sausage. They were also welcomed in the bar in the evening where we played cards with friends late into the night.
