About Sonnet Restaurant

Sonnet is the creation of Chef Gary McDermott and his partner Claudia, a deeply personal eight-table restaurant at 41 Bondgate Without. The 14-course tasting menu blends classic French technique with carefully preserved and fermented elements, letting outstanding ingredients speak for themselves. The emphasis is always on simplicity, each course is precise, balanced, and beautifully presented. Booking is essential and the restaurant is open Wednesday to Saturday, with drinks from 6:30pm and dinner served from 7pm. One of the most exciting dining experiences in Northumberland.
