Chef de Partie - Consett

Chef de Partie - The Lord Crewe Arms

The Calcot Collection is a small privately owned company that is home to a portfolio of four acclaimed hotels. Not considering ourselves as a group, each of our hotels celebrates its own style and personality and offers a different and unique experience that is signature to their offering.

The Lord Crewe Arms is set in the small, remote and very picturesque village of Blanchland high on the Northumbrian Moors in the North Pennines. It is a hotel that is difficult to place into conventional star rated categories. The ground floor has the feeling of a very special and atmospheric pub, serving really good food, in a unique atmosphere. The bar is a place for locals and visitors alike, serving good beer, well-chosen wines and coffee all day. The bedrooms are supremely comfortable with top quality beds, linen and towelling, in a modern country style. Everything is held together by exceptional service, friendly and natural, relaxed, but engaged and professional.
