Restaurant

Salmon's Leap Restaurant

Named for the salmon that leap the South Tyne, our dining room serves hearty, seasonal plates done right. From Sunday roasts with all the trimmings to fish from the North Sea coast.

Quiet dinners by candlelight, weekend lunches with family, and relaxed service set the tone for unhurried meals.

Judge & Barrel

Judge & Barrel Bar

Step inside for perfectly kept Northumbrian ales and proper hospitality. Through the colder months the fires crackle; in summer the bar opens towards the garden and the light spills out into the courtyard.

Expect rotating regional casks and spirits, classic pub bites and shared plates. The easy way to settle in after a day out by the Tyne.

Seating in the Secret Garden Café
Café

Secret Garden Café

Our indoor, plant-filled café is a calm little hideaway inside the inn. Drop in for freshly ground coffee, cakes and bakes, or a light lunch.

Settle among the greenery and vintage touches, and take your time — we keep card and board games on the shelf for slow afternoons with friends or family.

Admiral Lounge with games and evening atmosphere

Admiral Lounge

The Anchor comes alive after dark. Lounge, laugh, and play — pool, darts, arcade games, karaoke and trivia nights, and live music by the Tyne.

Our social heart for locals and travellers alike, with relaxed seating and late-night drinks.
