Fire-pit lobster and chips. It doesn’t get much better than this. 🦞🔥fresh, native North Sea lobster, split and grilled directly over the open flames of our fire pit. We are drenching it in a rich garlic and tarragon butter that bubbles away over the fire, and serving it the only way you should— with a pile of crisp chips and a fresh green salad. It is messy, indulgent, and absolutely incredible. See you at The Feathers Inn for a proper summer feast. 🍟🥗

This is a proper summer showstopper to finish off the menu. 🍑🔥We are barbecueing fresh white doughnut peaches until they are soft and smoky, then pairing them with two kinds of meringue: a crisp, baked Swiss meringue and a soft Italian meringue that we finish with the blowtorch. To top it off, we are serving it with a vibrant peach puree and rich, local cream from our neighbours down the road in Slaley. It is sweet, smoky, incredibly fresh, and the ultimate way to wrap up dinner at Hedley on the Hill tonight. You’ll definitely want to save room for pudding. Come on up, pull up a chair, and let us sort out dessert. 🥄✨

Local roe deer fillet, seared directly over the fire🔥We are serving this one with a crisp potato cake, braised peas and lettuce, and a glossy, bright red sour cherry and Riesling sauce. The sharp tartness of that vibrant cherry sauce is the perfect match for the rich, smoky flavor of the deer. It is a great balance of rustic fire pit cooking and fresh, seasonal flavors. This is a proper, honest plate of local food to tuck into tonight. The potatoes cake is thin layers of potatoes coated in clarified butter, garlic and thyme. Seasoned and baked till golden. Crispy on the outside and soft and tender in the middle. We are open, the fire pit is lit, and we’ve got a table waiting for you at The Feathers. 🍷

We’ve fired up the barbecue as usual and prepared this beauty: North Sea salmon, grilled to perfection with that signature smoky finish. We are serving it alongside crisp green beans, buttery Northumberland new potatoes, and a rich, velvety seashore vegetable butter sauce that tastes like a breath of fresh coastal air. To our regulars who know how much we love celebrating local ingredients this dish has your name on it tonight. The drinks are cold, and a table up at Hedley on the Hill is waiting for you. Pull up a chair and let us take care of dinner. 🌿🥔
