Having undergone myriad changes in its history, from “Box Station Hotel” to dusty, dreary drinking house, the Northey Arms has now undergone a magnificent transformation to become “The Northey Bar & Restaurant”, with a view to becoming one of of the finest dining venues in the area.

Redesigned throughout by owner Sally Warburton, the décor is delightfully tasteful, with a contemporary yet very cosy feel, incorporating wooden and flagstone flooring, high-backed oak chairs and handcrafted tables around the bar. On entrance one can prop up the bar or recline in the leather lounge area and relax with a drink whilst perusing the menu or simply watching the world go by.

Run by the same family team as The Crown and The Old House At Home, quality and consistency are the focus in the kitchen, where every ingredient is sourced through exhaustive research of local suppliers.

The evening menu is of a classical French background with English influences. To start, try the tempura fried soft shell crab with tomato salsa and mango sorbet, or perhaps milk poached smoked haddock with Welsh rarebit and crispy leeks. Follow this with one of a selection of delicious mains, such as rib-eye steak with garlic and rosemary potatoes, roast mushroom, roquefort butter and rocket; or roasted chicken breast with sweet potatoes, lemon, spring onions and spinach. Vegetarians are also catered for, with dishes such as the tempting tagliatelle with artichokes, olives, roast peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and Parmesan.

Lunch or evening, “The Northey Bar and Restaurant” is undoubtedly an affordable dining experience of style, comfort and satisfaction for all!
