WE rounded up some of the best restaurants near Hadrian's Wall, based on Tripadvisor reviews.
From cafes to restaurants and pubs, there's plenty of choice around Hadrian's Wall for food.
House of Meg Tea Rooms is a highly rated business in Gilsland.
One review said: "What a find we had, perfect for the end of a long day of walking Hadrian's Wall. The welcome we received was tremendous, even with our muddy boots! But, best of all were the cakes, including the gluten-free options. If following the recommended path of the walk, leave early the day you end in Gilsland and visit Meg's Tea Room, you won't be disappointed."

The Greenhead Hotel, Restaurant and Pub was recommended for its 'warm and friendly welcome' by customers, along with its 'imaginative food'.
"We stayed here for one night on our walking trip along Hadrian's Wall," one guest said. "The rooms were comfortable and clean, and there was fresh milk in the fridge on the landing rather than processed milk in plastic pots."
Also nearby is the Greenhead Tea Room, described as a 'very welcome stop on the Hadrian’s Wall cycle'.
One review said: "I visited here whilst on the Hadrian's Wall walk. Absolutely spot on, good service, good quality and fair prices, would visit again."
Another added: "For those readers not familiar with the location, this cafe is just down the road from a fab section of Hadrian’s Wall and you could pop in here before or after. It really is worth seeing."
Blenkinsopp Castle Country Inn is also highly recommended in Greenhead.
"We were here for two nights as we prepared to walk a short version of Hadrian’s Wall," one customer said.
"The hosts, Gary and Carol, are two of the nicest people you would ever meet. Gary even managed to repair my wife’s delaminated hiking boot with a mixture of gorilla glue and gas pipe tape. The food here is very good and plentiful. The staff are wonderful."
The Black Bull, Haltwhistle, is a small, traditional real ale pub offering home-cooked food using local ingredients.
"Visited here last weekend with my partner and my brother," one review said.
"We were visiting the area as my brother had completed the Hadrian's Wall Macmillan walk, and so needed some proper grub after an 11-mile hike.
"The staff were super friendly and the beer was reasonably priced, with a good selection (£4.50 a pint I think)."
The Milecastle Inn, also in Haltwhistle, was praised for 'pleasant' staff and 'fantastic' food.
One review said: "Absolutely love this place, the staff, the food, and the atmosphere were fantastic. We have been coming here every year for the past four years and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious. The staff has a great relationship and all work well together, creating a welcoming environment. Nice roaring open fire for those cold days."
Haltwhistle's Manor House is a 'cut above most places', one customer said.
The business won the national title for the Best Licensed Premises category in England's Business Awards'.
"Popped in mid afternoon looking for something to eat whilst travelling through the area. Really good food, a cut above most places. Attentive staff. Very dog-friendly place."
The Pillar Box Cafe recently won Best Cafe in England, making it a perfect stop for lunch when walking the Wall.

The General Havelock Inn, Haydon Bridge, also has reviews citing 'beautiful' and homemade food.
One customer said: "Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Full marks for a warm welcome, comfortable surroundings, exceptional food and dog dog-friendly attitude. They couldn't do enough for us."
