Welcom e t o
The Va l l e y R e s t a u ra n t s
An unusual name for an Indian restaurant perhaps!
That was the reaction when we opened our first restaurant “The Valley”
at Corbridge in 1991. The Valley was named after the beautiful Tyne Valley.
After the great success of our restaurant, The Valley, we were fortunate
to find another old station in Jesmond, Newcastle and took possession
in the third month of 1997. The railway carriage which is part of the
restaurant was numbered 397 when it was built for the Great Northern
Railway at Doncaster in 1912, and was originally built as a saloon for
wealthy families to hire for their journey.
Thinking of the link with The Valley and its World renowned
“Passage to India” train service the coincidence of the carriage number
and the date 3/97 meant that the new restaurant had to be called
The Valley Junction 397.
Since March 2001 we have occupied another prestigious site,
right next to the ancient Abbey in Hexham, where we opened
our third restaurant, “The Valley Connection 301”; now Cilantro a new
concept brought to life by Nabil Aziz - for the next generation .
After many successful years we are proud to present this, our latest menu,
introducing many exciting new dishes. We aim to rejuvenate the palate of
connoisseurs whilst tempting many more to try our newest dishes - whilst
many “old favourites” still appear.
We hope your visit to The Valley Restaurants is an enjoyable
and memorable experience. Our customers are our greatest assets,
“Your satisfaction” is our motto.
