Located in the heart of Darras Hall, Northumberland, Elkwater is an exciting new bar, bistro and lifestyle store.

Open 7 days a week, it is the place to relax and dine with friends, or buy beautiful gifts, accessories and home décor items.  Thursday to Saturday evenings we are also open, with live music, cocktails and a small evening menu.

Taking inspiration from France and Canada for its homely yet chic décor style, and also for its simple, classic and delicious menu, Elkwater offers an informal but sophisticated venue to enjoy at your leisure.

Taking its name from a house in Darras Hall that was built by the Warwick family, who lived in Callerton Hall in Ponteland in the 19^th century.  The house was named after a ranch that two of the Warwick brothers owned in Elkwater, Canada.  They had bravely travelled there to start a business, but sadly one brother drowned in a ship sinking on the Lawrence River, so the remaining brother came home and built the Elkwater home for himself and his wife to live in until the 1970s.
