Duke of Wellington Inn
About
Nestled in the heart of Newton, the Duke of Wellington Inn is a quintessential village pub and inn that welcomes locals and travelers alike. With its cosy atmosphere, roaring open fire, and a welcoming bar that showcases local ales, lagers, cask ales, and an extensive selection of wines, the Inn provides the perfect spot to unwind after a day’s journey. The restaurant offers traditional British comfort food prepared with seasonal, locally sourced produce, offering vegetarian and gluten‑free options, and a frequent change of menu items that keep diners coming back. For those staying overnight, seven elegant rooms—six king‑size and one twin—are named after Northumbrian rivers, each with en suite facilities and a unique Northumbrian design, plus a two‑bedroom cottage with a private garden ideal for families or larger groups. The Duke also hosts a calendar of lively events, from rugby viewing nights and pub quizzes to Christmas faref and race nights, ensuring there is always something happening inside the historic walls.
