Fodor's Expert Review Milecastle Inn

The snug bar and restaurant of this remote, peaceful, 17th-century pub make an excellent place to dine. Fine local meat goes into its famous savory pies; take your pick from wild boar and duckling pie or maybe a plate of Whitby scampi with chips. The unfussy menu also features such staples as fish-and-chips or lasagna with garlic bread. Two cottages are available for rent. The inn is on the north side of Haltwhistle on B6318.
