About us.
The Courtyard is a family owned business where rustic food returns to the Northumberland. Styled like the bistros of rural Italy, here you can sip beautiful wine and enjoy the robust taste of farm-to-table Northumberland, prepared by one of the North East’s highly renkowned chefs, Matt Husdon and his talented culinary team.
“Matt’s attention to detail is second to none.”
