The Hawthorn
This gastropub's weekly changing menu emphasizes seasonal ingredients, with meats sourced from local small farms' rare and native breeds (much of it cooked over a Josper charcoal grill) and fish delivered from nearby Hartlepool. With its wood paneling and open fire, the downstairs bar evokes a snug Georgian tavern, while upstairs, the elegant dining room of the same period features several antique clocks made by John Barraclough, clockmaker to the Brontës, who lived in this building. There are special vegan and children's menus, too.
