Bouchon Bistrot - Hexham

Third visit to the restaurant. Great service, great choice of wines and beautifully presented delicious food.

Very French style food. Fairly simple cooking but tasty. Quite a buzzy atmosphere on a Saturday night. Friendly and attentive service.

food and service excellent as always. what we always dread though was a table full of noisy women nearby, not much you can do about that !

Great food, great service, great ambience ......every time.

Lovely meal, great service, friendly staff, very enjoyable

Excellent food, attentive service. Great experience.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and surroundings and excellent service.

Food was excellent and probably the best we had during our 5 day holiday to Northumberland but the service was disappointing. We arrived 15 mins early and were asked to sit at the bar while our table for two was prepared but puzzlingly other diners came in after us and yet were seated before us. We then ordered our food and wine from the bar area and were eventually seated upstairs. Service was slow and our plates were left on the table far too long before being cleared. The waiter seemed more attentive to the larger groups at the tables next to us. I had high expectations for the Bouchon Bistrot but just wished we could have been seated downstairs a bit sooner than we were and where I am sure we would have had a better standard of service.under the watchful eye of the front of house staff. I gave my comments to the waiter when I paid the bill who said he would pass these on to his manager.

Great food and top service. Trouble was we booked through Open Table and had no choice where we were sat. Our table was unfortunately placed in the open space at the entrance to the kitchen - a thoroughfare. Waiters and waitresses busying by, an old table next to us piled high with napkins being folded and serving trays piled high on a stand the other side. We felt exposed and it wasn’t very relaxing. The bright lights from the kitchen and the noise of kitchen staff all took away from ambiance. I’ll book direct next not via Open Table.

High quality food with varoed choices and excellent service.

Excellent food and service. Been redecorated since we were last there and the terrace upstairs looks lovely

Fabulous meal and service!

A lovely evening, with the added bonus of helping a local charity, Tynedale Hospice at Home.

Fabulous atmosphere, service and value. The food isn't always faultless but generally of a high standard and well-presented. If you are looking for decent bistro cooking in a friendly and welcoming restaurant, at a very reasonable price then this is highly recommended.

The food is always top rate at Bouchon. Don’t miss it.

Good, varied menu, value for money. Tasty food in a beautiful setting. Fantastic service

We visited 5 years ago when we were in Hexham on holiday. We planned this return trip to coincide with my Birthday. The evening was wonderful. The food was as exquisite as we remembered; the service excellent but not intrusive and the new refurbishment looked great. The wine list remains excellent. All in all, a wonderful evening! Thank you Greg and the team.

Been to many top restaurants and the Bouchon is definitely up there.

The staff were really friendly and we were made very welcome by the owner.

Lovely French restaurant in the town of Hexham and the food was amazing ..

Excellent food, service and wine, one of the best in the North East but don’t tell to many people !

Our first visit to Bouchon didn’t disappoint. Menu was excellent. We were celebrating a family birthday which was made even more special by the food, wine and service.
Can’t wait to come again!

Excellent food with plenty to choose from. The set menu is very good value. We enjoyed our evening there & would definitely recommend it.

Beautifully presented, and tasty, French inspired fare.

We enjoyed a beautiful meal
First visit for us and it won’t be our last

A superb evening, an asset to Hexham. Great food & service served with some je ne se quois

Simply superb food, great service, varied wine list

A nice atmosphere, tho perhaps a little more posh than your average bistrot. (White tablecloths rather than chequered red). Very friendly and attentive service. A good menu, available as both plat du hour and/or a la carte. Authentically ‘French’. A good and extensive wine list, available by the glass, carafe or bottle. Middling expensive, but worth it. Probably ought to award the place 5 stars. Oh, go on then!

An amazing little bistro, wonderful chef with superb food. Cheese souffle, ribeye then the best Tarte Tatin ever! Busy on a Thursday but staff seemed so calm and efficient, and friendly. If we lived nearby, we would be regulars.

Cheese souffle was light and savoury, wonderful as usual.
Other half had the Goat's Cheese Feuilleté which was also very good.
Rump steak cooked medium rare was spot.
The pudding - apple tarte tartin is sitting in my fridge as I was too full to do it justice, but from past experience it is wonderful with coffee for breakfast!

Bouchon is a real joy of a restaurant three minutes away from the Abbey and Market Place, with a car park opposite. The food, the wine and the service are all fabulous, as is the general 'feel' of the place; it's simply wonderful.

Another fabulous meal at Bouchon; beautifully plated and packed with flavour.

It was like stepping into France! We were on holiday in the area and found this gem.
Food, ambiance, service could not be faulted. Merci mille fois!

Good food, good service. Friendly atmosphere with attentive staff

I was a little disappointed on this trip. We had the Early bird menu and the quality was not as good as on previous occasions

Delicious! I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. It was our first visit and we had been excitingly looking at the menu for days before. The food was absolutely amazing, especially the cheese soufflé! The staff were wonderful - helpful and very welcoming. It was all great value too - and if you want a real bargain, check out the early bird offers. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food and beautiful venue. We will definitely be back!

Once again delicious meal with friendly service but it was a bit slow - maybe Covid difficulties but we weren’t in a rush except we throughout we might have to vacate our table which wasn’t the case at all. Love the new extension - airy, light and welcoming too

Nice to find an authentique French restaurant. They are rare in the North. .

Best restaurant for miles around. Excellent French Menu although fairly pricey but well worth it. Service very friendly especially from the owner. Excellent wine list and efficient service. No rush for each course so plenty of time for chat.

We have visited Bouchon a few times but this was the first time since the pandemic. We were amazed to see the tastefully done new extension and upper floor conversion. The food as always was excellent as was the service. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely fabulous- couldn’t fault a thing. Food, service, wine, ambiance first class
