A village pub in rural Northumberland will host its first barbecue of the summer next week.
New tenants Alice Lawson and Jack Brown took on Hadrian's Hotel in late February and hope to restore its 'community feel' in the village of Wall.
The boutique hotel was previously run by Michelin-starred Hjem, which departed towards the end of 2025.
The charming coaching inn, which has a bar, restaurant and 14 bedrooms, has undergone a refurbishment and a shift in ethos. They are aiming to better align with the wants and needs of local customers.
It has attracted many reviews on Tripadvisor since opening under its owners, with many noting 'superb food' and 'excellent service'.
Hadrian's Hotel will host a barbecue on Monday, May 4, serving lobster rolls, wagyu burgers, and halloumi and sriracha sliders, with plenty of delicious sides, to celebrate the arrival of spring.
Guests can get a main course and as many sides as they can eat for £19.
There will be live music and an outdoor cocktail bar, dependent on the weather.
The barbecue starts at noon and ends when the food is sold out.
Willow, the hotel's restaurant, serves everything from familiar British favourites like fish and chips and pies to a two and three-course fine-dining Sunday lunch menu.
According to the team at Hadrian Hotel, the Sunday lunch is 'becoming well-known as one of the best in Northumberland', and the taster menu is highly praised.
One Tripadvisor review said: "Visited for Sunday lunch and it was well worth it. Very good value on the three courses. Starter was beautiful, tasty main (lamb was delicious) and a really good sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
"The food was very well presented, staff were attentive and friendly. If you haven’t tried it, it’s a must."
Another added: "We have enjoyed a few drinks recently in the newly taken over Hadrian's Hotel.
"This was our first Sunday lunch and we were certainly not disappointed. Seating was flexible, bar, dining room or family room. We had our meal in the main dining room which had a good ambience."
