Charming
Good for groups
Neighbourhood gem

Situated in the attractive hamlet of Warden, a few miles west of Hexham, The Boatside Inn offers a friendly welcome at a traditional country pub in the heart of Northumberland. Ideal for those looking to tread along the Northumberland trails or delve into the history of Hadrian’s Wall.

Our Head Chef is dedicated to creating exceptional dishes made fresh to order, using only the finest ingredients, delivering enhanced flavours and quality.

A must-try is our signature dish: the succulent, slow-cooked braised beef short rib, paired with a rich Pancetta & Baby Onion Sauce.

Our menu is diverse and caters to all tastes, including a wide range of dietary needs. We’re proud to offer numerous gluten-free options, as well as tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes to satisfy every palate.

Don't miss out on our renowned Sunday lunch – it's a local favourite, and we highly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot. Save room for dessert though!

On arrival the table didn't look very clean but as it was set I didn't speak out. The water glasses all had water marks on them as did the wine glasses when they were brought to the table. The service was slow. A server said they would bring menus and then returned to take order before menus had been given to us. The meals were ok. Most of our party had beef which all said was fatty. The meals went cold quickly as the plates seemed cold. The servers did seem young and inexperienced which could be a reason. They were all very polite.

A very nice meal and good value. Vegetables very well cooked and Pan Haggerty wonderful. Good beer, nice friendly staff so a very nice lunchtime all round. It was busy and staff were having to work very hard so occasionally service took a little time but all good. This was Hexham Restaurant week - look forward to it coming round again

We've ate here quite a few times recently, mainly on Sunday after discovering how good the Sunday dinners are. Today unfortunately the dinner wasn't up to usual standards, the pork was very chewy and the vegetables too hard. I hope this is just a one-off/blip because we've enjoyed all previous visits/meals.

I went with a friend to celebrate her 70th birthday that was in December, the staff made us very welcome, we both had the fish pie with vegetables which was lovely then the chocolate and orange cheesecake and ice cream, my friend had fruit crumble and custard, I asked the staff to put a candle in her pudding which they did and sang happy birthday to her, it really made her day special, a memory she won’t forget of a special day, the puddings were delicious too, all in all a great experience coming here, the staff and food were excellent, I’ll definitely be back again 😊

Excellent Fish and Chips - chose the smaller size fish (which was still a decent size). Advisable to book at weekends as this is a very popular pub. Friendly staff.
