Last year I thought it was a tadg grubby but this time what a difference, its obvious its run by somebody that knows what there doing. The bedrooms have all been done since last year and were spotless, a new menu as well with some very tasty dishes at affordable prices. I met some hikers who stop there all the time and they were amazed at the changes to this delightful village pub. Whoever you are well done,its definitely on my list of top knotch stay overs.

Good sized pub in the heart of Corbridge just across the road from the Tourist Information Office…read more Pool table, juke box, slot machine and a good sized TV which was screening Wimbledon when we visited. They serve food which is reasonably priced for the locality; burgers, fish and chips, steaks, jacket potatoes etc. It's an OK pub really, it has more of the feel of a town pub than a village pub but there's nothing wrong with that. We visited several times whilst we were on holiday in Corbridge and I was going to rate it as 4 stars but on the final day that we visited a little lad had been given free rein of the pub and was going up and down on his scooter and generally using the place as a playground. As a result we changed our mind about dining there and went to the more relaxing environment of the nearby Black Bull instead. So sadly I was unable to review the food and will probably never know whether it was any good or not

We are regular customers at The Rat because it is such a great place with great food…read more Last night's visit was for my wife's birthday and except for one minor thing it was as good as usual. The Rat is the very definition of an English country pub. Open fires and a cosy atmosphere are exactly what you want from a pub, add in the great food and it is hard to beat. We shared a starter of smoked haddock fritters which was delicious if a little parsimonious for £7. Main courses were superb; slow cooked belly pork and 3 cuts of lamb; delicious, deep savoury flavours that are so hard to accomplish at home. My wife's warm gingerbread dessert wasn't warm which was a disappointment in an otherwise delicious meal.

Love, love, love this place! Have taken four or five different groups of friends or family there…read morefor dinner and Sunday lunch, not one person has come away disappointed or feeling hungry! This is a real gem of a pub, tucked away up the hill just a few miles from Hexham. Have heard this is walkable from Hexham on a nice day but most will need a car - one thing to bear in mind is parking can be a bit limited and a bit of a free-for-all at busiest times, but you should usually get a space somewhere. Alternatively, taking a taxi is a good option, should only cost about £6-£8 from the centre of Hexham itself. First of all, the location and setting is simply stunning. If you park across the road, the views over the Tyne Valley are fantastic. You then go into the pub itself via a lovely garden area with a pergola. Inside is a proper Northumbrian country pub, great traditional decor, roaring fires, with some unusual wall and ceiling decorations (will leave that for you to discover!) Each time we've visited to eat, we've been welcomed by the friendly staff who offer the right level of service, i.e. keeping your table clear, everything in check without being overly attentive. The bar offers a good range of real ales, usually with a local brewery on offer, all of which are very well kept. They have an excellent range of wines and spirits as well, so you could easily go here for a relaxing drink, although the bar area is relatively small. However, if you are here, you really must try the food. Honestly, the Rat Inn has served up some of the best food I've ever eaten, nothing fussy or complicated, just locally sourced ingredients cooked to perfection. What is encouraging is that there are no menus on the tables, instead you'll find the day's menu on a chalkboard, which indicates freshness and illustrates how much they care about what ends up on your plate. In fact, you can find out where the meats and veg have come from as the suppliers are also chalked up on the wall. As the menu changes fairly regularly, it is not really worth recommending any particular dish on here for fear of it not being on next time, but the Sunday roast dinners are superb and the Sticky Toffee Pudding is top notch! Bear in mind you do get hearty Northumbrian-sized portions here, it is difficult to leave here without feeling a tad on the full side... As this place features in the top 50 UK gastropubs, it can get popular and they don't have an abundance of space, which adds to its charm but is also a slight disadvantage - definitely worth booking in advance to avoid missing out. In summary, the Rat Inn really is a wonderful place and one to which I can't wait to have an opportunity to go back soon.

The Angel has been welcoming travelers since 1752 and it did not disappoint. It was the perfect place to decompress.

After good night sleep and a hearty breakfast, we were off on the hike. The hotel staff ensured our bags were marked and loaded in the vans to be transported to the next hotel. The Angel Inn takes excellent care of travelers. Hope to return again.

The pub has two rooms with wood burning fires in each, the bar is in between and accessible from both. Inside it's cosy and traditional. This place has been here for centuries and the history seeps out of the walls. The four cask ales are mostly local. There were a couple of Mordue beers on when we were here - Workie Ticket being a favourite - and a couple from a bit further away, all nice. The star of the place is the food however. As this was a wedding reception the food was delivered in tasting bowls (there wasn't enough space to seat everyone for a traditional meal) one course at a time. So much great food! A winter salad with poached pear, caramelised walnut and blue cheese was a revelation. The mussels excellent and the rarebit appetiser so perfectly done. The mains were wonderful too. Winter veg mash with huge hunks of beef in rich gravy, aromatic and moist kedigree, spelt risotto and a unique game sauerkraut with bockwurst. Then came the desserts! Local creme brulee (Burnt Northumberian Cream on the menu) was stunning, as was the sponge, the mince pie inspired tart and the mountain of cheese. If you're a foodie you'll love this place. Just try and get a reservation first!

We were planning to stop and eat here, and it was certainly worth pushing on. It was very nice to sit down, relax, and have some good food and drink before pushing on. We had an excellent lunch. The pub standards were all available, as well as several soup selections, salads, etc. They also had a very good beer and ale selection. Although unadvertised, there are several picnic tables out back for use at no charge. You also don't have to buy food from the pub to use them.
