Breakfast

We take pride in using the best local produce wherever possible. We work with local suppliers to source the freshest and finest ingredients that, we feel, reflect the best that the beautiful county of Northumberland has to offer.

Guests are assured of a high-quality award-winning breakfast, made using the highest quality locally-sourced ingredients. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free alternatives are available.

In addition to cooked options, a breakfast bar is available offering fresh and preserved fruit, yoghurt, cereals, jams and local Chain Bridge Honey Farm honey, orange juice and apple juice.

Our Suppliers

We only use free-range eggs. Our eggs are sourced from R. Ord & Hens of Chatton Park Farm, Northumberland and, during the peak summer season, eggs are delivered direct to our door from the farm.

All our meat is from Turnbull’s of Alnwick, award winning family butchers and Butchers’ Q Guild member. Established in 1880, Turnbull’s source their meat locally and produce their own home-cured bacon, home-made Northumberland sausage and home-made black pudding. The Northumberland sausage contains Lindisfarne Mead and honey from Chain Bridge Honey Farm near Berwick-upon-Tweed.

We serve kippers and smoked salmon produced by L. Robson & Sons in their traditional and historic smokehouse in the small fishing village of Craster.

The cheese we use is from Northumberland Cheese Company near Blagdon. They use vegetarian rennet in all their cheeses.

We serve coffee from Pumphrey’s of Newcastle upon Tyne. Established in 1750, the historic family business produces a wide range of fine coffee.

Our teas and fruit teas are from Ringtons of Newcastle upon Tyne. Established in 1907 and delivering across the region and beyond, Ringtons are a long-established and highly regarded family business, offering fine Fairtrade and Ethical Tea Partnership teas.
