This restaurant looks like it has a had a recent facelift as it is very bright and light inside. The service was first class and there is a decent menu selection. The food was very tasty with decent helpings although the pizza was a bit on the small side. There is ample parking and plenty of seating. It’s a bit out of the way but still worth a visit.

  We ate here tonight and the food was lovely. I hade deep fried Camembert and the meat feast pizza. My wife had pigeon breast and blackberry, goats cheese and pistachio pizza which she really enjoyed and followed by a white chocolate and raspberry crepe. The...More

  Sat outside in the lovely sunshine with a glass of Tempranillo (or 2). Had a really good Pizza with Goats Cheese. Excellent

  A confused offering. Fine dining or a pizza place? On the face of it a beautifully decorated venue but with no atmosphere at all even though we were not the only people there. It doesn’t hurt to crack a smile if your a waitress....please try.

  We were staying locally and wanted to get back to the cottage and have a night by the fire ( yes - fire - June ☺️). The pizza really was fab, fresh and such a pleasant change from the pizzas you get from chains. The...More

  A perfect sized and varied menu. Excellent value and the food clearly all cooked fresh. Not well known (mundane) dishes, but flavoursome and a great size. Not overstating this, a genuinely excellent restaurant. Delicious !

  Stopped off today on the way back from a wedding planning trip to bamburgh castle. First impressions were that it was a very modern and clean looking, but cozy pub. Beautifully decorated and restored still with original old brickwork. We had the chicken club flatbread...More

  Decent english restaurant with pizzas and other Italian style dishes. Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of room between tables. Better than the establishment on the other side of the road which is under the same ownership and shares waiting and cooking staff.

  Enjoyed an evening meal here after many recommendations, absolutely faultless. All the staff were friendly. The food was cooked to perfection. Would highly reccomend

  We had a lovely meal here. The staff were excellent from making the reservation on the phone to actually arriving and being dealt with. They cater for all dietary restrictions and the food was great.

  Beautifully renovated family-run Italian restaurant, only a few minutes walk from HPB's Lucker Hall. Open Wednesday to Sunday. Excellent pizzas and friendly staff. Recommended.

  There seems to be a staff problem here. Not the staf that are there , they are trying their best, just could do with more or better organisation. It may be that the season hasn't started for The Apple Core yet. Anyway currently if you...More
