Park at Otterburn Hall Hotel, The

Otterburn Hall is a lovely country house set in five hundred acres of countryside, in the picturesque Northumberland National Park, just twenty-five minutes from Newcastle. Their facilities are a blend of the traditional and contemporary, and they are well known for playing host to particularly beautiful weddings.

The Park Restaurant and Brasserie uses Northumberland produce as well as their own beef and lamb to create a range of exciting modern British and French dishes such as lamb chops with pesto sauce and chickpea mash, and salmon fillet with Cajun spices. Round off a meal in style with cranachan, a Scottish classic confection of toasted oatmeal, cream, raspberries and drambuie.

The menu changes with the seasons, ensuring only fresh ingredients are used throughout the year. You could visit Otterburn at weekends to enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea or take advantage of the Sunday lunch carvery.
