At The Beresford Arms, we’re proud to be more than just a country pub. We’re a gastropub rooted in Northumbrian tradition, where familiar dishes are reimagined with bold, creative flair. This balance of comfort and innovation earned us Bronze for Taste of North East England 2025, along with Gold for Pub of the Year 2024 and Silver in 2025 at the North East Tourism Awards.

Our menus celebrate seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, prepared with precision and imagination. From hearty favourites to refined small plates, every dish reflects our commitment to quality and character. Take our standout Bacon Loin Chop, for example. Served with lovage and parsley emulsion, roasted chilli pineapple, a fried duck egg, and hand-cut triple-cooked chips, it perfectly captures how we give classic flavours a distinctive Beresford twist.

To complement your meal, we offer a carefully curated selection of local ales, craft beers, premium spirits, and soft drinks. Enjoy regional favourites like Mad Jack Ha from First & Last Brewery, Tyneside Blonde from Hadrian Border, and Alnwick Gold from Alnwick Brewery. Our bar also features exceptional Northumbrian spirits, including gin from Hepple and whisky from Wooler, bringing a true taste of the region to every glass.

Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed lunch, a celebratory dinner, or a cosy evening drink, you’ll find warm hospitality, seasonal flavours, and elevated pub dining in the heart of Whalton.
