The Gun at Ridsdale truly is the beating heart of the small Northumberland village, with the pub owned by the local community. As such, all refurbishments and renovations are undertaken by the locals themselves, creating a pub full of tradition and charm that retains their proud heritage. Enjoy the wholesome aura generated by The Gun’s thoughtfully-designed interiors, or marvel at the striking views towards The Cheviots when dining alfresco in the pub’s beer garden.
Led by an expert chef, the kitchen team at The Gun work hard to create a menu full of quality home-cooked food, pub classics and specials board that reflects the change of seasons. The hearty food choices are paired well with the extensive selection of drinks behind a well-stocked bar. There’s a range of quality local ales to choose from, as well as a fine wine list and other spirits and soft drinks.
The Gun has four bedrooms for a comfortable overnight stay. Compromising of two doubles, a twin and a family room, each room is elegantly designed with a contemporary feel. The family rooms includes a Z bed suitable for a child and a cot is available upon request. Every bedroom includes a TV, hairdryer, iron, tea and coffee making facilities and super fast WiFi access.
The pub is the perfect base for ramblers and cyclists who want to make the most of the Northumberland countryside at a leisurely pace. The Gun is 20 minutes away from some of the most well-preserved areas of Hadrian’s Wall and is also located in Northumberland International Dark Sky Park. Due to minimal light pollution, it’s the largest expanse of dark night sky in Europe and as such, makes the nearby Kielder Observatory a worthwhile visit.
