Restaurant Hjem

An absolute magic! It’s a theatre of image, smell and taste. Accompanied by amazing staff to tell you the story along side. Had the best time.

Great vibe, awesome wine, amazing food and a well thought out menu.
We treated ourselves to an overnight stay too which was 100% worth it for the breakfast alone. The rooms aren’t spectacular but if you drink enough of the fabulous wine on offer then you literally won’t even care.
The place captures the Scandi vibe very well yet remains authentic to its surroundings.
(In case you are well versed in the Scandi vibe, let me reassure you, the people are way way more friendly at Hjem. 😂 )
If you love food, or you just love new experiences then Hjem is totally worth checking out.

This was our 4th visit to Hjem. We live just outside London so it’s quite a drive! This restaurant in my opinion serves the best food in the UK…. but it’s more than the food. Every member of staff is delightful, knowledgeable and hard working. Many have been here for several years.
Our meal on Thursday evening was the best yet. Creative, delicious and memorable. Thank you Hjem!

We went for a significant birthday and this was a really great place to go for a big celebration. It was a sixteen course tasting menu consisting largely of a series of really attractive and delicious snacks, several no more than a few mouthfuls. The wine pairings were excellent and worked really well with the food. We felt really looked after as they fed us course after course after course.
The atmosphere was really relaxed, highly polished but not ostentatious. The staff were really friendly and were very knowledgeable of each course, how it was made, and could answer questions we had on how they were made so delicious!
Having stayed the night, breakfast the following morning was amazing, a real smorgasbord.
We would go back in a heartbeat!

One of the best tasting menus we have eaten in recent times. To put that in context, we have eaten at (for example) L’Enclume and Ynyshir (both Michelin 2*) a number of times. I would rank the food (and wine pairings) at Restaurant Hjem as approaching a similar level.

From the snacks (x5) to the desserts/’Fika’ (aka petits fours) (all of which were particular high points) there were surprises and interesting flavour combinations – alongside significant use of local Northumbrian ingredients.

This level of food doesn’t come cheap and you shouldn’t expect it to… For the full experience of Tasting menu @ £150 / Wine pairing @ £100 / plus aperitif/water/coffee, you should budget on £250-275 a head plus service (@12.5%).

If you decide to stay (recommended as Wall is a small village without lots of other options) the rooms are simple and clean and priced at a level that reflects that. The breakfast was excellent – mainly continental style (again prominently featuring local ingredients), plus an interesting grain porridge (the only warm dish).

We understand that the menu and wine pairings change regularly, and certainly look forward to returning in the not too distant future to eat here again.
