Elks Head Donald Hexham massive improvement
Passed here many times on the way to the Lakes. Improved greatly in last 3 years, worth calling in now for the excellent food. The accommodation looks smart also. Lovely beer garden!

Carts Bog Inn Jerry Winfield Hexham Excellent food and lovely staff
My Mum lives in Allendale which is close to the Carts Bog Inn. She has only a small cottage so we can't stay there, but we met at the Bog for lunch. The welcome was good, the menu inviting, especially the Little Boggers menu for kids - which was more than enough. Good food, good service, good value for money and a lovely location. You can't go wrong..... I just wish they had some accommodation so we could stay next time.

Twice Brewed Inn John Hexham nice but they need to learn how to cook a steak.
A really nice bar with a good selection of ales spirits and whiskeys for reasonable prices. Has a nice lounge and beer garden to the rear with large umbrellas for when the weather suddenly turns. Our only gripe was that the chef is obviously a vegetarian as he/she has no idea how to cook a steak. Between our group of 12 we ordered 5 steaks and asked for them to be cook either rare of medium rare, every one came out extremely well done and horribly dry and tough. Such a shame as everything else was great.

Carts Bog Inn Tracey Hexham Wonderful experience
My relatives were holidaying in the Lake District and we live in Jarrow, so putting a pin the the map approximately halfway and I had the Carts Bog Inn. All 8 of my party thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our evening, the food was beautiful, the staff were very pleasant and patient. The locals were welcoming, the views were lovely - I cannot fault in any way and have already highly recommended to my friends as it is worth the drive out (its only half an hour from Newcastle)

Carts Bog Inn sarah Hexham Great pub
I had a lovely meal at the Carts Bog last saturday evening. during the meat draw, there was a great atmosphere with locals and diners joining in. The food was great and the service was excellant. It is defiantly worth the drive out even if your just after somewhere for a drink on a evening.

Carts Bog Inn John Hexham uncomfortable
Slightly disappointed after hearing such good reviews. Food was average, staff were obviously more interested at looking after the unwelcoming locals than looking after the diners.

Carts Bog Inn Mark Shephard Hexham Fantastic pub
I was at the Carts Bog for sunday lunch the other day and without a shadow of a doubt it was the best roast dinner i have ever eaten. Combined with the warm welcome from the young staff, it was a fantastic day out. I finished off the afternoon with a couple of games pool and a chat with the locals and barstaff. Its hard to find a place were both food and service is to such a high quality. For that reason i will be back soon.

Twice Brewed Inn Doug Hexham A pub to avoid
The pub may be fine for eating but I have to agree with Nick. A walk along the Wall with dogs must be common place. To be out in the country and find that a pub cannot be entered is unfortunate. Luckily I now know in advance and tomorrow's walk will be elsewhere. I can confirm, as a dog walker, that many pubs are very happy to allow dogs in a bar area where food is being served. Restaurants are a different matter and I have no problems with that but a pub in the middle of nowhere should attempt to cater for all comers and supply some sort of basic bar area which can be avoided by those who prefer to eat without dogs around them. It would appear that the Twice Brewed just wishes to appeal to one type of customer.

Twice Brewed Inn Frank Cook Hexham A Haven.....
As a regular, but not frequent, visitor to the Twice Brewed, I cannot agree with Nick's view of this pub. I've been there as a walker, a motorist and from the 'dig' at the nearby Roman Vindolanda. In spring and in high summer. The staff are always pleasant and courteous. The choice and quality of the ale first class and the food I've had has definitely been 'as described'. Given the huge mix of customers, most of whom are one-offs, I think the Twice Brewed does a great job. As for mobile phones, you find most sensible walkers carry one. I'd rather people used them outside but more than that, I'd rather dog owners kept their darlings out of areas were I am to eat.

Carts Bog Inn Noel Roy Hexham Zero Hospitality
Four of us walked in at 2.20 p.m. on Thursday 2nd October and, in a very rude manner, were refused service - because she had already called Last Orders. Unsurprisingly, our friends, who live locally, won't be making their regular visits for meals in future

Carts Bog Inn David Craggs Hexham Excellent - firmly recommended.
The new hosts are exceptionally friendly and made our whole family feel very welcome. The menu (and beer) was also excellent with a good mix of local produce. It was so nice we ate there twice the week we were up!

Twice Brewed Inn Adrian Smith Hexham A nice pub
I visited the twice brewed on August bank holiday. Had a great time. Good beer and food. A mix of walkers and car drivers out for the night, also a few from the near by YHA. Good all round pub and place to get warm

The Landlord and lady was Really friendly.All the locals very nice and the food well that was something else (i reccomend the cannon of lamb). Great prices too. :-) If you looking for a little break i reccomend the Elks Head just ask the any of the Staff for things to do in the area and they bend over backwards to help so thanks Darren, Lorna Trever(top chef) and linda for the great time will prolly come back next summer :-)

Twice Brewed Inn Nick Burton Hexham Busy cos it's a one pub village
You must have had a few beers to call this pub 'lovely'. I suspect these last two visitors arrived by car. I wasn't miserable when I arrived at Twice Brewed after walking in the rain. Walking does not make you miserable. I was looking forward to a few beers in a traditional country pub and chatting with fellow walkers about the day's journey. I live in a village where both pubs serve food and allow dogs. I think you'll find that the norm is to allow dogs in foodie pubs as long as you don't let them wander in the kitchen! I think you'll find that pubs that don't allow dogs are more or less restaurants. Once Brewed deserves an inn not a restaurant. I'm sure that Twice Brewed could make a healthy profit on walkers, cyclists and horse riders alone without catering for the 'c'mon luv lets drive out to the country and have a bar meal' clientele. True walkers who arrive on foot would probably avoid this place if there was a proper pub next door.

This place is amazing. The food is wow especially the cheesy balls served while you wait to be seated, home made by the genius chef Gary. I would recommend this place to everyone!!! the locals are warm and friendly with many a tale to tell. Haydon Bridge and The General Havellock are world class!!!

General Havelock Inn Steven Hexham Genius Chef
The food served at The General Havelock is the greatest food I have ever had. The restaurant area backs on to the river South Tyne and is in a beautiful idyllic setting. My girlfriend and I got engaged here and it could not have been in a more romantic setting.

Twice Brewed Inn David Harrison Hexham I agree with Peter
I have stayed at Twice Brewed many times. The food is always great - Veggie alternatives are always available. Beer is good and also the Fentimans Ginger Beer. And if you are staying there they will give you blankets instead of a duvet, if you ask. Fab base for The Wall, Northumberland Coast or The Solway - rarely wet on both sides.

Twice Brewed Inn Peter Milner Hexham Nick doesn't seem to know what he's talking about!
I came across this note and thought that Nick has put a wrong light on this lovely pub. I also went in July with my son and found that the pub was extremely busy(I think that if anyone was turned away, it was because they couldn't fit anymore in) . I found everyone helpful to our needs, though there was a little wait everything came out piping hot and was delightful. There was a good selection of local ales to choose from. The Conquest (Redburn bewery) was a particular favourite. I like my beer!! I think when your wet and miserable things always look different. I definitely recommend this place.... Oh, by the way most food places won't allow dogs in.

Carts Bog Inn John Ryland Hexham PUB AND RESTAURANT
Unwelcoming and unfriendly - made to feel that our request for food was impertinent - were told to hurry up with the order. Left before ordering. Can't recommend it at all.

Twice Brewed Inn Nick Burton Hexham It's the Crossroads Motel!
Worst pub in the North of England! Me, my mate and the dog walked 20 miles of Hadrian's Wall in pouring rain, pitched up at nearby campsite, then went there in search of hearty meal and rambler's fireside only to be told they'd stopped serving food and no dogs allowed. This was in July. Pub is carpeted and has wall brasses and run for motorists. If you arrive at a pub and there's loads of blokes outside on mobile phones you know it ain't a walkers' pub. Not a friendly welcome. Forget it. If only there was another one near by.

General Havelock Inn Chris Hexham Hidden treasure of Northumberland
Fantastic food from Gary who took over the pub in 200o (i think?). We still talk about the great meals and times we had there, even though we emigrated to NZ in 2001! Tip - the lemon/citron tart is to die for.

Heart Of England mackintosh Hexham unfriendly, unwelcoming - never been back
Probably different now but went there twenty years ago on a bank holiday with my husband, mother and two year old daughter. We attempted to cross the threshold for some food and were stopped at the door. My beautiful two year old was pointed at, and we were told in no uncertain terms that she would not be welcome. Our bank holiday was ruined by the attitude of one pompous prat of a manager. We eat out regularly but have never been back and will never go back. Twenty years on and I cannot forget being made to feel like I did that day. We ventured further afield and found a welcoming pub that were happy to serve a well behaved beautiful little girl.
