What a find. Had never visited Hexham before so we were strolling around and came across the Beaumont just down the road from the abbey. Hard to tell what to expect from the outside but inside it was like a buzzy Parisian brasserie, transported to Northumberland! Smart, friendly and on-the-ball waiters in overalls, an open kitchen taking up one end of the room, concise menu and wine list but with interesting choices, beautiful glassware. Really impressed and I only wish we had somewhere like this where we live.
