About
Bouchon
At Bouchon Bistrot, we believe that great food is about more than just what’s on the plate — it’s about creating a truly memorable experience. Since opening our doors in 2007, we’ve brought the warmth, charm, and flavours of rural France to the heart of Hexham. Inspired by the traditional bistro culture of the Loire Valley, our restaurant blends authentic French cooking with a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.
Led by owner Gregory and Head Chef Nico, who has been part of the team for over 9 years, our talented kitchen crafts each dish with care, using time-honoured techniques and fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally wherever possible. Whether you’re joining us for a casual weekday dinner, a special celebration, or a leisurely long lunch, Bouchon Bistrot offers an inviting space where good food, great company, and French hospitality come together.
We look forward to welcoming you!
