Cherry Tree, The

In a short time, The Cherry Tree has earned for itself a reputation for being a great place to enjoy modern British cuisine. The restaurant gives customers a stunning dining experience featuring a mezzanine floor with glass balustrade and open spiral staircase, but retaining some of the old features of the building, previously the Jesmond telephone exchange and Scout shop.

Service is friendly; creating a relaxed atmosphere with live background music played most evenings. The Cherry Tree aims to provide the best modern British cuisine in the North East all created by head chef Tony Riches and team.

Begin with a classic Bury black pudding, and soothing leek and potato soup with native oyster and caviar cream. Move on to mains of rump of Ingram Valley lamb, or fillet of turbot with king prawns, mash and lobster bisque, before giving in to a tempting sticky toffee and pecan pavlova. An eclectic list of sixty-eight wines covers most wine producing regions of the world.
