The Abbey that became a village

WELCOME TO THE LORD CREWE ARMS

Perched perfectly in the midst of the North Pennine moors,

The Lord Crewe Arms is home to twenty-one cosy bedrooms,

The Gatehouse, perfect for private dinners and chef demos,

two restaurants—The Larders and Bishops Dining Room—serving

proper, unpretentious country fare and ‘The Crypt’, our medieval

vaulted pub harbouring weary pioneers on the hunt for Real

Ale, dished up with a generous side of famous ‘Bar Bait.’

The Rooms

Coloured by the Northumbrian landscape and

with a twelfth-century abbots’ guest house,

miners’ cottages and the village's ‘Angel of

Temperance’ as your pillows of choice, you can

rest assured that wherever and whatever your

pick, the epitome of a countryside escape awaits.

Reassuringly comfy, each offers the best beds,

feather pillows and duvets that won’t let you get

up in the morning! Homely enough for slippers

and socks, boasting beds that beg you to jump

into them, and kissed with the softest of yarns.

Our rooms are all about ‘those’ creature comforts

with an added dash of moorland luxury thrown in

for good measure, the fluffiest of towels, cosy

robes, Noble Isle smellies, chilled water jugs and

a delicious helping of Northumbrian fudge.

Stolen from the big smoke and ransomed to the hills, Chef

Simon Hicks brings skilful and honest fare to the warmth

of our countryside tables. Chef’s dishes are honest, robust

and modern. Delicious, celebratory and nostalgic, with the

kitchen garden and smoke house never far from mind.

Boasting a kind of lawlessness akin to the moors that

envelop us, expect patchwork feasts vibrant with colour,

with beautiful and seasonal ingredients plucked from

countryside spoils. Celebratory centre pieces begging to

be passed around, delicious home-grown crops and of

course, the most heavenly of meats, yours to share, roasting

in the gentle glow of our medieval fireplace daily. To finish,

indulgent puddings that hark back to the good ole days!

The Food

A medieval vaulted chamber etched by stout stone

walls, afire with candle-style-ambience and warmed

by the welcomed chatter of moorland travellers;

there is truly no other pub quite like The Crypt.

Add to the mix a hearty stock of Northumbrian

ales—including our very own ‘Lord Crewe Brew’ on

tap. Throw in a rather thoughtful selection of cracking

wines. Top with a good few measures of Highland

whisky, then spice it up with a Geordie cocktail or

two... and there we have it—the finest free house for

miles around.

Oh, and not forgetting of course, chef’s ‘Bar Bait.’

Otherwise known as Northumberland tapas, these fill

up our trusty blackboard with squasage kind of

snacks daily.

The Crypt

The Gatehouse

Gathering + dining + revelry

E n t e r t a i n a n d b e e n t e r t a i n e d

Once the keeper to the village of Blanchland, The Gatehouse

today stands proud as our brand spanking new foodie haven.

Primed for dinner parties’, a-la chefs table, cookery demos

served up Northumberland style, business meetings with a

difference and a wee bit of revelry, the magic in our medieval

vision has well and truly come to life. With an open kitchen

beating at its heart, you won’t find anywhere else quite like

it in the moors.

Small Meetings

Talk to us about your meeting requirements; The Gatehouse will

seat up to 18 guests, boardroom-style. Offering a professional,

yet friendly service and the very best coffee on the stove, your

event at The Lord Crewe Arms is sure to be a success!

An eleventh-century abbots’ guest house with vaulted rooms,

flagstone floors, the biggest roaring fires and glorious summer

gardens perched perfectly on the top of the North Pennine moors.

Whether you want to have the run of the place with private use or

keep it cosy with an intimate ‘do’, every event and wedding at

The Lord Crewe Arms will be tailored to you.

For smaller weddings, private dinner parties, shoot lunches and

all sorts of occasions, The Gatehouse is ideal for up to 18 guests.

Weddings and Special Occasions

With a prime spot high up on the North

Pennine hills, even the countryside novice

can’t help but want to get their sparkling

Hunter wellies muddied here. We’ve got

fishing just at the bottom of the garden,

walking routes straight from the front door,

sailing the river Derwent a country mile

away and cycle routes that please the

keenest of lycra wearing spinners!
