The Kirkstyle Inn

The Kirkstyle Inn and Sportsman’s Rest is a highly acclaimed gastropub with rooms, nestled in the picturesque Northumberland village of Slaggyford. It reopened in February 2023 under the experienced leadership of restaurateur Nick Parkinson, who revitalised the space with a major refurbishment that blends tradition with modernity to retain its signature charm, while elevating its culinary standards and offering a unique escape for overnight guests.
The property comprises a pub, four bedrooms and The Old Rectory, a neighbouring standalone cottage sleeping up to 12 guests. The kitchen is led by Head Chef Connor Wilson, who joined for the reopening and has since established The Kirkstyle Inn as a notable player in the area’s evolving food scene. The Kirkstyle Inn has also been included in the Michelin Guide and The Good Food Guide, and has earned three AA Rosettes for culinary excellence.
