The Greenhead Hotel was taken over in June 2020 by local proprietor Jordan Dodwell & his partner Anna Pearson. After a complete refurb they opened the doors on the 14th August 2020.

Head Chef, Dan, & his young, eager team use the finest ingredients available using local butchers, suppliers and even forage in the nearby woodland. During the shooting season we source game from the local shoot which features on our specials board.

Situated on the Northumberland and Cumbrian border, with Hadrian's wall on our doorstep, the hotel offers a cosy drinking area with locally sourced ale, a chic restaurant serving homemade classic pub food with a modern twist and 7 newly refurbished dog friendly en-suite guest bedrooms, alongside a 45 bed Hostel, providing the perfect base for your trip.

    We meet up 2 or 3 times a year here, with Scottish friends and every time we all enjoy all it hss to offer. That's why I give it 5 stars for everything but, you knew there'd be a but, just a word to the wise: half of our party opted for the pheasant dish but on ordering were told none today. Obviously the disappointment this causes could so easily have been avoided - just run a pen through that option on your menu, how difficult is that? Not to put too fine a point on this, having to go through the menu again to opt for second choice while the waitress has pen and pad waiting, is just a waste of all our time. So, yes 5 stars all round BUT....

    A dear friend from out of town was visiting so I the Greenhead Hotel and Bistro. It was absolutely fantastic, from the moment we arrived to the time we departed. The surroundings and decor are beautiful, roaring fire in the magnificent fireplaces, Christmas decorations and enjoyable background music. The customer service was outstanding and the menu was excellent. The food we selected was absolutely delicious the best and to top it all the value for money could not be beaten. Thank you so much and we'll definitely be back 😊

    I used to run my own kitchen and know how difficult it is to serve up well cooked, interesting dishes that also have an original twist - and keep to budget so that the customer doesn't get charged too much. The kitchen team at the Greenhead did an exceptional job. I eat out quite a bit, always searching for a "good" restaurant. I live on the South coast so that shouldn't be too difficult - but there's always something not right, sometimes WAY not right! The only thing I could find to complain about at the Greenhead was that there was nothing to complain about. I do enjoy a little moan. . .none here. And the front of house staff were great, too nothing too much trouble, friendly and professional. Terrific place - such a pity it's so far from home - oh - there's my moan! This post is going on tripadvisor as well. I hope people are advised by it.
