The story

Langley Castle Hotel Dining in Hexham | AA Rosette British Contemporary Cuisine

Seasonal Craftsmanship

The kitchen at Langley Castle blends classic technique with contemporary British and French sensibilities, guided by the recognition of two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. Chefs rely on Northumberland's seasonal larder, sourcing ingredients that define the region's character. Menus shift with the calendar, highlighting slow-cooked meats that the hotel describes as melting in the mouth alongside freshly caught fish prepared to complement local flavours.

Signature Plates

Guests often encounter robust cuts like ox cheek, reflecting the kitchen's focus on textures and depth of flavour. Lighter options feature cod, presented with accompaniments drawn from the surrounding countryside. These dishes demonstrate how the team translates regional availability into elegant plates suitable for both intimate candle-lit dinners and the glass Pavilion's refined setting.

Stone Walls and Light

Dining takes place within walls up to seven feet thick, a remnant of the structure built by Sir Thomas de Lucy in 1350. The Josephine Restaurant offers an intimate, candle-lit atmosphere where centuries of history frame the meal. For a different perspective, the Glass Pavilion provides a modern counterpoint with views across the estate, while the Drawing Room invites relaxed afternoons with its high-beamed ceilings and exposed stonework.
