Market Tavern - Northumberland

I was in the Market Tavern today 20/01/24 with my family for lunch the service was excellent and the food was good,a little bit pricey but I do realise it is a Punch Pub who rip the Tennents off with the rents,thank you for a nice meal an ex Punch Tennent (thank god)

Went for tea, warm welcome, had booked a table as heard how popular this pub is, food was superb, good choice on menu, large portions excellent value for money, good friendly service, would definitely recommend but make sure you book to avoid disappointment

PLEASE BE AWARE BEFORE BOOKING YOUR XMAS DAY MEAL HERE NEXT YEAR- THE MANAGER DOESNT WANT YOU. SEE COPY AND PASTE FROM SOCIAL MEDIA FROM THE MANAGER We charge £75 a head! Everyone enjoyed it! Open 12-3 everyone gone by 3 and staff home by 3:30 to our families! Remember part of the price you are paying is for the extra the staff get paid to give up their Christmas Day with their families because you can’t be bothered to cook!

We were greeted promptly and shown to our table. There is an extensive range of drinks and we chose a nice bottle of white and some sparkling water. My wife had the Cod Loin and I had the slow cooked Belly Pork with creamy mash and Savoy Cabbage. After a moderate wait, the food arrived and was nicely presented and very tasty. The staff were very attentive throughout and regularly checked that everything was alright and that we didn't need anything else. My wife loved her ice cream sundae for dessert and I equally enjoyed my melt in the mouth, sticky ginger pudding with fresh cream. A thoroughly enjoyable evening in a busy pub with a pleasant atmosphere.

My wife has Coeliac disease so needs gluten free food, one son has extreme allergic response to eggs, shell-fish and peanuts (he carries and epi-pen) and the other son is vegeterian. Eating out can be difficult. Not here however! The lady who came to see us was completely unfazed and said choose what you want and I'll explain what we can do for you. She then proceeded to sort out what we could (and couldn't) eat. We had 4 different meals and all were perfect. We have had so many bad experiences in other restaurants that this was an absolute joy. We could have filmed this and used it as a training film on how allergies can and should be handled. We will return.
