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.
