This pub is so aptly named. Always a friendly greeting in a lovely warm building. We have been several times for Sunday lunch which is a carvery. It's very well priced but most important, it's excellent. Wonderfully cooked meat, particularly the locally sourced beef, plenty choice of vegetables and if you've room left, good choice of sweets. You can get regular or large lunches. If you can get a seat upstairs it's no extra but it certainly makes you feel special. A real friendly village pub. Well worth a visit.
Just back from a couple of days here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Tried to book into a nearby inn but it was fully booked and we were glad it was.
Lovely room, lovely good and friendly staff. My partner thought he was in heaven ....red wine, pool table and juke box . We love our history so ideal spot for sightseeing....Vindolanda, Hadrians Wall, Alnwick Castle, Roman forts etc during the day and good crack with the locals in the evening. Thanks to Cameron and Aidan for pool contest. Sorry about the Scots winning. LOL. Definitely be going back.
Lovelly place been a few times foods nice and staff are great. Highly recommend a visit.
A very friendly & warm atmosphere, and our food was excellent....highly recommend 👌🏼🍺🍴

What a lovely pub and superb Sunday carvery. The people working there were lovely.
Our local pub and very good it is too, lovely friendly staff and a great selection of food and beers.
Good beer, good food, nice staff, and the locals make you feel welcome ��
Fantastic place, people and food. Definitely coming back. Thanks again. Really enjoy my stay.
Been eating and drinking at the village inn for nearly two years and never had a bad meal but the need to bring back Goan curry to the menu.
Pretty standard pub food menu, but it is cooked and served to a decent standard. All day brunch is good. Scampi is good. Kids' food is really good. Ours had the fish strips, excellent quality fish finger replacements. And the sausage and mash, lovely sausages! Pub was dead at lunchtime but nice enough environment, with games in the window sill for the kids, nice touch. Smart venue with comfortable seats and tables. Parking could be difficult if it's busy, but we got a space right out the front. Toilets are smart and clean.
Popped into this place after visiting Cragside house and gardens which was great and happily, the Village Inn was also great, I had the fish and chips and my wife had a hamburger and chips, one of the tastiest well cooked fish I’ve had in quite a while, the hamburger was also very tasty and was quite a large patty, chips also very nicely seasoned, staff were nice and the venue comfortable. If this was my local I’d definitely be back again.
Stayed locally and visited The Village Inn on a couple of occasions for food and drinks. The food is amazing, if I lived locally I would be here every day. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit when visiting this area.
Stopped off for lunch and wasn’t disappointed.
Really friendly chap on the bar. Food was delicious and arrived quickly.
Definitely will visit again!

The Village Inn B&B is a lovely little pub set right on the edge of the A697. There isn’t much parking available, we had to park down the road, not too far away, but it is a little frustrating.
The pub has the usual decor, old style look, with wooden benches out front. The staff are pleasant and very polite.
Our room was clean upon first inspection. Loved the red wall and the beams on the ceiling give it a rustic vibe. However, for some reason the room smelt strongly of BO, and no, it wasn’t me. It was definitely the room. There was also a strong pungent smell of stagnant water or sewerage when we first flushed the toilet.
The bathroom while clean at first glance, did have huge cobwebs strewn about. Just very pleased no huge spiders!
The double bed was very clean upon inspection, as were the towels. The bed was surprisingly very comfortable, but the curtains don’t reach the full width of the curtain rail, so on a morning when the sun is coming through, it hits you straight in the face because you can’t pull the curtain right up to the wall. Maybe have two curtains instead of one large one.
Food was genuine pub grub and very nice. Beers are limited but a good small range.
The bar area is pleasant but it’s a shame they don’t utilise the upstairs eating area, the decor here is really good.
All in all, a lovely little B&B pub with polite staff and good food. You’d expect nothing else from the prices so no one can really complain about the lack of 4-star qualities, it’s a pub B&B, and a nice one of that!
Very nice pub with decent ale selection and good food. Excellent location to meet friends and share an enjoyable experience.
Googled somewhere to watch the Lionesses in the world cup final whilst away from home. Found thod great pub. Made very welcome. Lovely sausage ciabata with quality sausages. Shame we lost the match!

Passing through and called in on the off chance with my wife and 2 seven years old grandsons. The carvery meal was fantastic. A great value super fresh meal served with a great portion of succulent meats. Full of main course, the desserts were thoroughly enjoyed and the twins loved the flour-less chocolate tortes!! A fab family meal at a fab low cost. Your staff were so helpful and an asset to your gastro!!You'll definitely see us again and soon.
New chef so food has improved enormously! Always had cheerful, efficient, friendly staff. Nice beer.
Used the pub twice whilst staying at nearby Fram Park. Friday night was busy, but able to find a table. Saturday we booked a table for dinner, much quieter.
Decent selection of food on offer, though seems coleslaw is offered with most mains. Bar staff super friendly. Limited parking directly outside pub, but on-street available over the road. Dog-friendly.
Called in for lunch on our way to Scotland, very friendly and welcoming. Our food was excellent and served promptly. Highly recommended
Great dog friendly village pub, stayed one night near the village and walked to the pub with our two dogs! The barman Henry couldn’t do enough for us and placed us in a quieter area of the premises. Food was lovely and Henry was constantly checking if we needed anything, a credit to your establishment
We had some lovely meals here whilst on holiday
More friendly of two pubs near house. Although the other has black sheep which I like..Can play darts which I like.
Really nice food and very welcoming, dog friendly too which is great for us. They are clearly very popular as it was busy, we did book which was lucky. They did inform us that there would be a wait for food but they did manage to get our sharing starter out really quickly. We would definitely go back.
