The Blue Bell Hotel Bar
The comfortable bar of this family run hotel serves very substantial bar meals - the steak and kidney pie or game pie, which are served with chips or potatoes plus salad or vegetables, are both highly recommended. A roaring fire during the winter months and the country hotel décor ensure a cosy atmosphere.
The Blue Bell bar has a good
selection of spirits including malt whiskies.
Draught beer includes Calder’s Cream, Guinness and John Smiths Bitter.

Belford Community Club
The club offers entertainment in the upstairs function room at weekends and special occasions. Downstairs the lounge, snug and games room are fairly typical of North East working men’s clubs. The lounge has a 5p fruit machine with a £75 jackpot, which remains fairly elusive! The club is very popular with local residents and is very friendly and welcoming. Drink prices are slightly cheaper than the local pubs with a reasonable selection of beer and spirits.
The John Dory Fish and Chip Shop
Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday with extremely tasty fish and chips, sit in or take away. John Dory operates extended hours during the summer season. The nearby town of Seahouses must be the fish and chip capital of the North East with all cafes offering excellent fare and generous portions. Recommended are MacKay’s and Pinnacles.
The Well House Coffee ShopThe Well House is the place to sample sandwiches, cakes and light meals to take away as well as eat in.. The coffee shop is featured in "Tea Rooms of Distinction" and lauded as "probably the best tearoom in Northumberland". |
Groceries
Co-Op offers a wide choice of goods including a range of breads from Rothbury Home bakery. Although not local a good selection of sausage and bacon from Cumbria are on offer. The Co-op is open until 10 pm, has a decent off license section, ATM, magazines, newspapers and National Lottery.
