Restaurant Pine, Northumberland, up for sustainability award
Restaurant Pine, on the Military Road, near East Wallhouses, Northumberland, has been recognised in the SustainableAward category at the annual Star Wine List of the Year Awards in the UK.
The award recognises the sustainable commitment of both the wine list and broader venue, judged against a stringent set of criteria.
Vanessa Stoltz, restaurant manager and head sommelier at Restaurant Pine, said: “Iβm thrilled that weβve been shortlisted in the Sustainability Prize category of the Star Wine Awards and hopefully we can go one better than the silver award we earned in 2025.
“Pine’s philosophy is rooted in using only the finest seasonal, locally sourced ingredients from independent suppliers, from nose-to-tail butchery to extensive preservation techniques, all in the pursuit of cooking as sustainably as possible.
“The same ethos runs through our drinks list, and hopefully the judges recognise the lengths we go to in finding inspiration in what’s right on our doorstep.”
Pine was recently named in the top 10 most sustainable restaurants in England by the 360 Eat Guide.
The sixth annual Star Wine List of the Year UK Awards will be held at the 1 Hotel Mayfair on March 23
