WHERE TO EAT The best Pan haggerty in the world (according to food experts)

"For the Main Course I decided to order a local dish that I hadn't had a chance to try before. Pan Haggerty served with greens, poached hens' egg and mustard cream. For those of you who aren't from the North East, Pan Haggerty is a delicious combination of potatoes, onions and cheese and I can't believe I hadn't tried it before. I really loved it and am very pleased I can now tick it off my Geordie list."

"I may not be vegan but I can’t stand the beggars and I had asked for it to be served egg-less. The traditional Northumbrian potato bake was delicious without a runny yoke all over it, but the summer greens benefitted from the sage and mustard cream sauce which it was drizzled with."

"Its resident AA Rosette and Michelin experienced chefs serve up traditional dishes using locally sourced ingredients. We love the veggie pan haggerty with a poached egg and mustard sauce."

"If you’re lucky you’ll find pan haggerty with Comté and truffle (probably the most memorable version of a potato gratin you will ever eat)."
