The Sun Inn

Head out to Acomb—that quiet corner just beyond Hexham's centre—and you'll find The Sun Inn doing what proper pubs do best: existing as the actual heart of the community rather than performing at it. It's a hotel, sure, but what matters is the bar, where you'll rub shoulders with farmers, builders, and people who've been coming here for decades. The food doesn't shout about itself; it's the kind of cooking that respects ingredients without overthinking them. You come for a pint and proper conversation, not for the Instagram moment.
