The Gosforth Hotel
Traditional pub at the heart of the High Street with a modern food menu, Sunday roasts, and live sport on big screens.
About The Gosforth Hotel
The Gosforth Hotel sits right at the heart of the High Street and has been a gathering place for the community for generations. Recently refurbished, it combines traditional pub character with a modern food menu that goes well beyond standard pub fare. The Sunday roasts are particularly popular — generous portions of locally sourced meat with all the trimmings. Live sport is shown on big screens throughout, making it a lively spot on match days. The outdoor seating area is a suntrap in summer. A reliable, welcoming local that does the basics really well.
