Sonia Guy Barrass said: "They do a choice of four meats and the home made Yorkshire puds are massive, they also let good behaviour dogs in and if you ask nicely they will cook the pooch a sausage, if you don't fancy Sunday dinner they do the cafe menu as well."
Louise Canney added: "Lovely Sunday roast and they also run the cafe menu too. Lots of choice.
2 The Station Hotel, Hexham
Several readers, including Mark Cairns and Kerri Joyce, recommended The Station Hotel.
Richard Clegg added: "Can't beat Station at Hexham all four meats and the trimmings, £12."
Ian Armstrong said it was 'fantastic'.
3 The Coffee Cup, Hexham
Helen Gibbin and Mary Hargraves recommended The Coffee Cup for a roast dinner.
A Facebook review said: "Brilliant dinners, Yorkshire puddings are fabulous all homemade and great staff, very welcome and prices are fair for what you are served."
4 The Red Lion, Newbrough
Reader Trish Law recommended The Red Lion.
Choose from chicken, beef, pork, scampi and chips, or steak and ale pie.
The Red Lion has won numerous awards, from the Traveller Review Awards 2022 on Booking.com, to Tripadvisor's Certificate of Excellence.
5 The Robin Hood Inn, East Wallhouses
Reader Jamie Reay said: "You can't beat Robin Hood."
The pub showcases log fires, cask ales and good food, served in an informal atmosphere.
6 The White Swan, Ovingham
Reader Mags Coulson recommended The White Swan.
Beef, pork, lamb and turkey mains are available for Sunday lunch, along with a varied desserts menu including Belgian Waffles with different toppings and assorted sundaes.
7 The General Havelock, Hexham
Recommended by Lisa Robinson Mackey, the venue advertises itself as a pub, resturant, venue and occasional cinema.
One Facebook review said: "I haven’t had a Sunday lunch that nice in what feels like forever. Staff are super friendly. It’s warm, cosy and comfortable with the most beautiful view of the river with all the ducks and swans, although it’s an hour and 10 drive for us we will definitely be back soon."
8 Heart of Northumberland, Hexham
Sonia Graham recommended the central pub.
The contemporary gastropub has been recently renovated, and the Grade II listed building is back open after being closed for years.
A Facebook review said: "Had a lovely late lunch. Friendly staff, a lovely warm welcome (especially by the fire). Service was prompt, but relaxed and we just had a lovely time."
9 Barrasford Arms, Barrasford
Ryan Luke Williams recommended the pub for Sunday dinner.
A Facebook review said: "Fantastic food and friendly staff. Sunday lunch here is a must, it was absolutely delicious. I recommend the gluten free Prawn Cocktail and Roast Sirloin of Beef, although had food envy over my husbands Braised Pork Belly. We couldn’t manage a pudding but will be back."
10 The Lion and Lamb, Horsley
Kirsten Davies recommended the family-friendly pub.
One Tripadvisor review rated the Sunday lunch: "Popped in for lunch. Lovely pub, good beer and great food. Well cooked and generous portions on the roasts. Quick with the mint sauce and horseradish and extra custard with the dessert."
