Description

The open kitchen takes centre stage at Cal and Siân Byerley's rustic restaurant, where they're all about showcasing Northumbrian ingredients. Cal knows the local area intimately, plucking fresh ingredients from the kitchen garden and leading his team on foraging missions. He and the chefs use this produce with skill and originality, in dishes such as the brilliant fondant cake made using the rare dryad saddle mushroom. The wine flight – including several English wines – is worth going for, and they also make their own juices, tonics and teas.

Review summary

Pine offers modern cuisine with an average TripAdvisor rating of 4.0/5. Food highlights include highly praised prime rib and steaks, though some guests found side dishes like asparagus lacking in value and reported inconsistent meat quality or cooking errors. Service experiences vary significantly; while many appreciate the warm hospitality, others cite slow pacing, reservation mishaps, and poor management for large parties. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, suitable for dates, but can become excessively noisy during peak hours. Overall, the restaurant shows promise but needs improvement in consistency and value perception.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking quality steaks who can tolerate occasional service inconsistencies.
