The Cherry Tree - Northumberland

A lovely spotlessly clean pub. Staff so efficient and very helpful. Food was really good and very reasonable. First time here in a very long while but will definitely be back

This used to be our local for food and drink prior to Covid. It had changed hands so we decided to give it a go at lunchtime. Very disappointed, lasagne was very dry and the topping was hard, homemade chips were terrible. Garlic bread was a slice of toast with garlic butter on it?! No way was that food freshly prepared, in my opinion it looked and tasted like it was reheated from the previous day. Will have to drastically improve before we will eat there again.

It makes me laugh that they say vegetarian friendly, they have 1 item on the menu which is macaroni cheese with garlic bread. The macaroni cheese was like rubber, you could bounce it on the floor, the garlic bread was a piece of toast cut into a triangle. My husband had a steak which was inedible any son had a mixed grill, he eats anything but even he had to leave some of it. Hopefully the food will get better, but I wont be giving it a second chance after the experience we had.

Called in here with my elderly mother to grab some food and have a drink. The 8oz burger was fantastic and my Mother's grilled cheese sandwich was very good. Both served with crispy fries and cracking coleslaw. We shall be back.

We went for Sunday lunch. We 've been many times before and it 's always been nice. The first obvious change was the staff, all new face, but they were very friendly (to begin with). The second change was the prices; £12 for Sunday lunch which was an increase of about £4. I order 2 adult lunches and a kids meal, with drinks it came to £39 which seemed a lot (and for what we were served it far far too expensive). I never like paying for a meal before it 's served as a refund is rarely given. I ordered at the bar, pint and a glass of wine, which i had to help to barmaid with as she couldn 't use a cork screw (not a good sign). She then appeared to be about to pour some wine into a pint which another member of staff had poured (should have left then). But we stayed and paid. The meals came and looked ok, served on white, square plates. We both ordered beef. When it came it was 2 slices served with mashed potato, turnip, 1 yorkshire and 2 roasted potatoes, the veg came out a few minutes later. The beef was an odd colour, it was grey and was a bit tough and totally tasteless. The veg looked like it had been stirred around in the serving dish and there wasn 't much of it. The mash turnip was lumpy and worst was the thin gravy which tasted sweet; it totally ruined the lunch. The waitress (who was polite and understanding throughout) did ask if everything was ok. We said it was very different from the last few times we 'd visited. She asked if it different in good or bad way; we had to say in a bad way. She said she 'd take our comments back, which she obviously did as there was no friendly goodbye or thanks for coming when we left, just a very fake smile from the girl sitting at the bar who couldn 't use the corkscrew. Overall it was a disappointment. We have been used to much better and it didn 't match previous visits. It might be ok for some but not for us (or another couple sat near by who also had grey beef). Very disappointed our comments weren 't taken seriously by the management. Won 't be going back.
