Commercial Hotel - Morpeth

We ate here two nights, four different dishes, all well cooked and efficiently presented. Excellent beers brewed locally. A pity the historic building is the victim of a rather tasteless renovation - quite uncomfortable seating, though the carpeting dampened the noise level well.

Nice old style seating in a dining room setting with fire place and window views to the street, plus casual tables through out the pub.Order and pay at counter after which food is served to your table. Friendly staff. Craft beer if desired plus the regular beverages.Lunch was very good, with small serves available (which were still sizable!). I had a chicken and bacon burger which was quite nice with lovely bacon and fresh salad, the chips were hot and tasty. My other had a small chicken schitzel and salad and chips, also very tasty.We were passing on a Tuesday which as most shops here are closed Mon-Wed it was very quite and most enjoyable.

While staying in Morpeth, turned up to this pub not knowing what to expect.

Definitely recommend the food.
