Food mediocre, barman obnoxious and rude!! Arrived around 2pm and asked if it was still possible to have something to eat, we got as answer "well, the menus are still on the table!". We were made to pay for the (flat) pepsi even before he'd filled our glasses. Even though we'd asked for "coke" he gave us pepsi, although when the next customers asked for coke, he told them rather abruptly they could have a can of coke or draft pepsi. When ordering a plate of soup he acted slightly confused and corrected us with, you mean a "bowl" of soup. All in all, a not very pleasant or relaxing experience, barman wasn't trying to be funny, just rude. There were only 2 other tables occupied with couples, one eating, one only with drinks. A place to avoid!!

Beware of Basil Fawlty the Barman, very Abrupt and insisted on telling customers how busy and overworked he was, ( there were only six people in!) when our food order arrived,( after been corrected on my manners by Basil) however it was perfect and beautifully cooked if a little pricey , so kudos to the chef. The bar is also very dog friendly so beware if your not a fan.

Awesome pub! Buckets of atmosphere, great food (the sharing boards are special) and pleasant folk at the bar. If I lived closer, my dog and I would walk here a lot!

Called here whilst visiting warkworth it was a rare sunny day so the wife and I sat outside food was plentiful as well as delicious slightly pricey but quality of fare and the view of the castle more than made up for it? Highly recommend.

Really nice pub attached to the Sun Hotel where we stayed. Had drinks and food. Both the starter and mains were really nice as were the drinks. Great outside area with an awesome aspect of the castle. With a good amount of parking, great location, good food, drinks etc it’s a worthy visit.

Busy on arrival, but it quietened down after 15 minutes. Ordered food and drinks. Food arrived within 15 minutes. Downside, burger served on a piece of wood, my pet hate. I didn't say anything but would request a plate the next time. You should get the option when ordering.

A family gathering for some dinner early evening. The welcome was warm and friendly and some golf was discussed ahead of ordering some food from a good selection of options on the menu and specials of the day. Drinks came quickly and the bar is very well stocked with draught beers and non alcoholic options are available. The food was delivered all together and came beautifully hot and plenty of it. The whole party enjoyed the food and we would recommend The Castle Brew House without hesitation.

This is a great little pub, right opposite Warkworth castle. Plenty of parking and loads of outside seating which is a real bonus when the weather is nice. The food is delicious 😋. You need a good appetite though as they aren't shy on the portions. Highly recommended. Also it's dog friendly which again is a real bonus.

Lovely country bar attached to the hotel next door. Food was a touch on the pricey side but you got plenty for it and the quality was good too. I got roast lamb dinner. I saw another patron getting fish and chips and the fish was humongous! Around five local cask ales on. Didn't stock top notch craft beers but probably not the market here for it, the cask was well kept and good enough to satisfy most. Lots of wood and bare stone, good feel to the place. They also have sky sports in numerous TVs which somehow don't spoil the ambience.

I looked at Google reviews for Warkworth, and me and mine went to the highest rating one first. It was very full and cramped. The menu wasn't great, so we went here and were well impressed, much more roomy, better decor and the menu was much more impressive. The only staff member we met was friendly, intelligent, informative and witty. The food we chose was varied but everyone was very happy with the yumminess of our meals. Simply scrummy! Oh, and amazing value too!!

Nice and friendly pub restaurant just next to castle. The menu was full of choice if a little on the pricier side for pub grub. Steak and ale pie came with a jug of the tastiest gravy I have ever had, and pie had superb flavours. I’m only giving 3 stars as the steak could have done with another half hour slow cooking as a few of the steak chunks were a bit chewy. That said, there was certainly no shortage of steak in the pie so top marks for that. Another grumble is the overall temperature of pie, veg and gravy was just warm rather than piping hot so it had gone a bit cold by the time I had worked my way through the generous portions. The burger my wife had was stacked and apparently very good. Would gladly visit again but £60 pub lunch for three people, just mains and a drink, won’t be so often. Dog friendly and our greyhound had plenty of space to stretch out.

The best thing about this place was the bar ladies smile. She was friendly but the food was dire. The prices were higher than the website and the homemade chips looked liked they had been boiled and then shown the fryer for less than 30 seconds. Tasteless. I resent paying for food that I would happily have put in bin if I wasnt so hungry.

We were advised by bar staff there would be a 55 min wait for food. We ordered drinks, then returned to order food - told ‘I‘’m not putting any food orders through, we’ve got a backlog, come back later’. 5 hungry kids. Off peak late lunch time.

Been here a few times. This time not great. Beers excellent. Dirty Burger was not bad, but the Triple Cooked Chips- oh dear! Two attempts to get them right. Greasy soggy, not pleasant at all. They do form an important part of a Dirty Burger, and so spoilt the overall satisfaction. When you paying £17 for a burger and chips, I think you would expect quality right through every time. It's not too difficult to cook fresh chips!

Lovely pub and town. However, barman had very odd affect and offered no customer receipt for beer bought on a card, prior to then suggesting that I hadn't paid. Then changed his mind. Bizarre. I would have come back again and stay, but not now. Not sure what was going on.

Underwhelming. We came for dinner and we had the salmon. It was so small it was more like a starter which is a shame because It was actually fairly nicely cooked and tasted great, but the piece of fish itself should have been double the size. Normally I would have mentioned it to the staff but the bloke on shift at the time was clearly not interested. We already felt that our presence alone was an inconvenience to him. Im sorry but if you're going to work in hospitality then at least try to be hospitable. The music was awful as too. Lots of room for improvement at this place. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be back to experience it.

Very old pub in the shadow of Warkworth castle. There's a slim chap who works here that, from what we witnessed, spends most of his day turning people away, especially if you arrive in walking gear. On a cold day in November he wedged the door open so you didn't feel the affect of the log burner in the corner. Shame really, could of been a far better experience

Second visit in a week. First visit on a Saturday when there was a light bites type menu available. Sat outside on the tables near the road, pleasant enough. As a result, we arranged a return trip today (Sunday 11 July) to meet up with friends. Mistake! Ignored for ages after being told to wait in a certain place to be seated, once seated we watched as other people arrived to have their orders taken and served! Eventually got drinks from a choice of 2 cask ales (Brew House?) - really poor table service. Asked for menu, disappointing and very limited. Saw other people leaving much of their food so the clues were there. I had fish and chips but it was greasy and expensive (about £14 I think). Getting our table cleared was another chore that the lad ½ did then disappeared! We eventually got another round of drinks in before heading inside due to the weather. Once inside, we were once again invisible and in the next hour and half nobody attempted to serve us.

Rude, rude, rude, rude and rude. Is the only 5 anything you are getting from me. From the moment we walked through door was made to feel like we was a inconvenience. The guy running the bar was clearly hungover and In well over his head. Shame because the food looked amazing and so did the bar just ashame it was so let down by this rude mannered man. Didn't even finish our food as he came over and opened a window beside us when was clearly cold already. Even went to the car to get a blanket.

Stopped off here for a bite to eat whilst out for a walk with the sister, it was a glorious day. We took the last seat that was available outside and what a spot. It was that hot I felt like sunbathing. The manager brought us some menus and took our drinks order, however they also have an app that you can order off. I prefer to talk to people so I stuck to ordering when the server came to our table. Food took a little while but that's what you expect when it's freshly made. I had the spicy burger and my sister had had fully loaded burger. my oh my it was visually appealing, I just had to take a photo. It came with slaw chips and onion rings on a chopping board style plate.. and for £14.95 it was definitely worth the money, mouthwatering chilli infused burger in every bite with jalapeno poppers to top it off and chefs special spicy sauce . If you like your burgers I would definitely recommend here plus thr views of Warkworth Castle are gorgeous when your enjoying your meal from outside.

Lovely setting. Delicious roast - very tasty beef. It was just enough for me and meant I’d room for dessert but if you like big portions you might need to order the extra Yorkshires and cauliflower cheese. Friendly staff. I thought the tables and chairs/carpet could’ve been cleaner - crumbs which should’ve been hoovered up. That’s my only criticism. Nice treat for Sunday lunch in a pretty setting.

A first introduction to Premier Inn and what an introduction. Very nice, new, tasteful hotel, quietly located at the entrance to Alwick. Not far from the center of this beautiful town and the beautiful castle. We were received in a very friendly and helpful manner by a lady who turned out to be the manager, what a difference from most chain hotels! Perfect rooms, very good bed and blankets, very good shower, slept very well. We went for dinner in the evening: simple good meals: good curry and a proper Beef Ale Pie. Very quiet good good atmosphere in the restaurant and at the bar. Premier Inn has an interesting system for reservations with different prices, please check the website.
