The Duke of Wellington Inn, a traditional pub in Northumberland
The Duke of Wellington Inn is nestled in the Tyne valleys village of Newton just off the A69 near Corbridge, within easy access to Newcastle, Hadrian's Wall Country, Hexham, and Northumberland's National Park.
The inn has recently reopened following an extensive refurbishment. The new décor reflects the traditional country inn history but with a modern twist. Existing oak and stone has been enhanced with modern colours, furniture and fabrics.
Lunches and dinners are served seven days a week in the bar and dining room. The food provides traditional British comfort eating to an exceptional standard and makes use of local, seasonal ingredients. A comprehensive range of beers and ales compliments an extensive wine list.
The inn experience continues with seven bedrooms providing a very high quality of luxury accommodation. There is an internal cycle and golf club store along with a boot room for those visitors who favour a less relaxing country break.
The outstanding views across the Tyne valley provide the ultimate conclusion to a visit to the Duke of Wellington which will stay with you long after you leave.

Best Sunday lunch (roast beef) I've had in a long, long time. Cut thick and served pink, with lashings of glossy, meaty gravy and all three trimmings. Highly recommended.
Very pleasant pub-hotel - room was spacious with a luxurious bathroom. Delicious and good-value dinner in the restaurant, and excellent breakfasts. Very friendly and professional staff. Giving 4 stars rather than 5 as the room was a fair price, but more expensive than some similar style accommodation I've stayed in.
Ate in the restaurant, which was warm and cosy with good table spacing and great views over the Tyne Valley. The food, (Haddock and chips) was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. Generally, everything about our visit excellent. Will be returning.
Lovely country pub off the beaten track. Bed rooms are bright, modern and, importantly up here, warm! The food is excellent, highly recommended. Drinks are good, wine a bit pricey. Not really anywhere much just to sit and have a quiet drink though, unless you want to sit at tables that double as bar dining tables. All in all though, a great place to stay and eat whilst visiting Hadrian’s Wall territory.
Happened to be passing and thought we would give this place a try. Looked nice but on entering there were lots of tables with dirty glasses and plates left on them. Staff were nice and friendly but obviously rushed. Well the girls were rushed. One chap stood behind the bar on the telephone. We ordered food and drink and sat outside with a lovely view. My wife’s open prawn sandwich was excellent. My ‘roast of the day’ sandwich was thick slices of processed beef and had never seen a roast joint of beef ever. Saying all that, the food was reasonably priced. Would I go again? Probably not. Off the beaten track and nothing to go out of your way for.

Food & drink
It’s modern British served with style but without fussiness: confit leg of duck, ox cheek ragout with pasta, pan-fried sea trout with crispy kale. Steaks and beer-battered fish and chips are staples, while portions are generous. It’s well-priced (mains average £15), the lunchtime table d’hôte even better value and the short but crowd-pleasing wine list is largely under £30. Five cask ales, mainly local, are offered plus there’s a great collection of gins. Breakfast is average.

Great food, open fires and real ales - The Robin Hood is a great country pub that's within an easy drive from Newcastle.
