Otterburn Tower, which is owned by a local farmer, is not only unique in its surroundings and fabric, the pride of the hotel is in its cuisine. This is prepared by experienced chefs to recipes as old as the Normans and as modern as your tastes desire. The hotel has been recently presented with a Les Routiers award for its use of local produce.

In season, the chefs have their own kitchen garden, growing the finest herbs and salads. Longwitton Farm is the source of the tender lamb and beef produced in the Northumbrian hills – see if you can really taste the difference!

The Otterburn Tower restaurant aims to provide the very highest standard of cuisine using fresh, local, top quality produce whenever possible. The river Rede flows through the valley and our chefs take full advantage of the fresh trout and salmon in season. Even the ice cream is produced locally! Our chefs make all their own pates, sorbets, desserts and sauces. So when you stay at our hotel, you not only have time to rest and relax but you can revitalise your taste buds too!
