We are delighted to announce that Dobson & Parnell has been officially accredited by Taste of Northumberland, recognising our commitment to championing the exceptional food and drink producers of Northumberland and the wider North East.
Located on Newcastle’s Quayside, Dobson & Parnell has built its reputation on seasonal cooking, sustainable sourcing and celebrating the best ingredients our region has to offer. This accreditation reflects our ongoing dedication to working with local farmers, growers, fishermen and artisan producers whose passion and craftsmanship help shape our menus.
Led by Head Chef Kyle Bowman, our open kitchen and social dining concept combines the finest Northumberland produce with subtle global influences. From shareable small plates to larger feasting dishes, every menu is designed around seasonality, sustainability and our nose-to-tail philosophy, ensuring ingredients are used thoughtfully and responsibly.
Guests can enjoy ingredients and products such as Lindisfarne oysters, Northumberland goat, locally grown leeks and swede, alongside award-winning spirits from Ad Gefrin and Hepple. These carefully selected ingredients showcase the quality, provenance and diversity that make Northumberland one of the UK’s most exciting food destinations.
Taste of Northumberland celebrates food that is grown, produced and served with care in a county renowned for its landscapes, heritage and agricultural traditions. The accreditation recognises businesses that actively support local supply chains and deliver authentic food and drink experiences rooted in place.
For Dobson & Parnell, local sourcing is more than a purchasing decision; it is a key part of our identity. By working closely with regional producers, we reduce food miles, support the local economy and create menus that tell the story of Northumberland and the North East through every dish.
When guests see the Taste of Northumberland mark, they can be confident they are enjoying produce with genuine provenance, quality and authenticity. We are proud to stand alongside some of the region’s finest food and drink businesses and to play our part in promoting Northumberland’s thriving landscape.
This accreditation further strengthens our commitment to delivering one of the leading sustainable dining experiences in Newcastle, celebrating local ingredients, supporting regional producers and showcasing the very best of North East food and drink.
