WE rounded up some of the best restaurants in a historic town on the Northumberland border.
Here are some of the highest-rated businesses serving pub food in and around Brampton, Cumbria, based on Tripadvisor reviews.
The Howard Arms Hotel in Brampton is a family-run restaurant located just five minutes from the A69 and is one of the highest-rated restaurants in the area.
"Had dinner and a fantastic bottle of wine (or 2!) on a busy Sunday evening," one Tripadvisor review said. "Terrific food; great staff and service. Place was buzzing so clearly a popular eatery."
Another said: "Very welcoming, helpful, friendly staff. Superb evening meal, something for everyone on the menu."
The Duke of Cumberland, just a short drive away at Castle Carrock, is highly recommended for 'excellent' food 'cooked to perfection'.
One review said: "Everything was superb - wait staff very friendly and fast, decor top notch, everything very clean. All our dishes were cooked to perfection. Starter, mains and desserts superb. Beer kept very well. Highly recommend."
Another said: "Our first visit in many years did not disappoint. Such a lovely atmosphere with dark cosy colours, log fires and twinkly lights.
"The best Sauvignon, mackerel starter and lamb henry Sunday dinner, hubby had haggis starter with crispy bacon followed by roast beef.
"We had to wait for nothing and staff were so attentive."
The Kirkstyle Inn and Sportsman's Rest, although a further drive to the rural spot of Slaggyford, is well worth a visit as it is one of the most prestigious restaurants in the area.
"We loved our one-night stay at Kirkstyle Inn. The food was amazing - so beautifully cooked and presented. We'll remember it for a very long time. Very friendly team - knowledgeable and super helpful," a Tripadvisor review said.
Another commented: "This fabulous pub combines a relaxed convivial bar frequented by tourists and locals alike with stunning food."
