The Hope and Anchor in Northumberland

Booked a table for the Friday night and glad we did as was very busy. Great selection of food and it was great to watch the kitchen staff work from our seats at the rear of the restaurant. Food was excellent and plentiful. Service was also very good. On seeing the Fish & Chips coming out for other tables we decided to order a takeaway for the Saturday. Collected it right on time and both the fish and the chips were cooked to perfection. In face, one of the best suppers I have ever had. Won't hesitate to pop back in when in the area.

Staff were very pleasant and we were made to feel welcome. But the food was pretty average unfortunately, especially for the price charged. We ordered garlic bread then lasagne and ravioli. The garlic bread was OK but we’ve definitely frequently had better. The ravioli was also OK, not particularly tasty but OK. What put me off was the amount of uncooked veg thrown in with it - slices of almost raw red/green pepper and onions. Not really my idea of a ravioli. The lasagne seemed quite bland. Overall, this felt like someone trying to do Italian who doesn’t really know how to do Italian. At least not like the Italian people who own restaurants we’ve been to and who have cooked for us. There was nothing wrong, and the staff were lovely, but it was pricey and not especially tasty. Will try elsewhere next time.

Really recommendable. Friendly service, pleasant atmosphere and a nice menu to chose from. The ordered food came quickly and was delicious. We went there two days in a row and thoroughly enjoyed both evenings.

We ate here twice during our holiday as the food was so good and the service excellent. They are both dog friendly and people friendly, very efficient and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

The restraunt managed to seat us even though there was nine of us,,the staff were friendly, the food was lovely and reasonably priced could not fault it

Thank you to the team for a welcoming experience on a very busy hot day, especially to Marcus who kindly found us a table for 2 rather than turn us away. Delicious meal well presented. Bonus was the happy hour that was on 4.00pm - 5.30pm, included Pizza and Pasta. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Booked a table for a Saturday night dinner. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the food was great and the atmosphere and drinks were superb. Fully recommended.

Thank you so much to the team at the Hope and Anchor for squeezing us in tonight! We turned up as a walk in on the off chance they had a table and they managed to not only squeeze us in but also give us one of the loveliest family meals we have had while we were up in Alnmouth! Thank you so much to you and the whole team for making us feel so welcome and for the amazing food and service which we all really really enjoyed! We will definitely be back next time we are up in Northumberland xxx

Had a meal here one night while staying in Alnmouth, two adults and one child. Pub was busy, staff were struggling to keep up with food orders, serving tables, clearing etc but were clearly working very hard. Service was reasonable, not great. Food was pretty average, not bad, not brilliant. Portions were very large, quality not that great. Fish and chips not as good as we had elsewhere. Children's menu is very good, good selection and kids portions are enormous. Starter and main each for two adults, one kids meal and one round of drinks came to just under £80. You can get better for the same price.

On the first night we booked a table; it was steak night so we wanted to make sure we didn’t miss out. We’re a family of 4 and the children had the lasagna and arribiata penne pasta, which was made to order and my daughter could choose how spicy she wanted, which was perfect. A side portion of chips which were excellent, went down very well. My husband and I enjoyed the steak and sides option, served with a lovely cold bottle of South African Sauvignon Blanc, totalling £45. The steak was a really good size, but was every so slightly on the chewy side, however every mouthful had great flavour and considering that I can’t cook steak very well myself, that was what was important. The steak was served as we had requested: medium and well done. We had a table in the kitchen room and saw the chefs at work. They clearly work very hard and the wait for food was spot on. Everything was served nicely and by very efficient waiting staff. They were really busy, so managed exceptionally well. The bar was well stocked and the draft beer was delicious; which is what we had on our second night, when we walked in and managed to get the last table. Marcus, who was managing the tables and restaurant area was really efficient and despite being extremely busy, still made time to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. Considering we were a walk-in, at no time were we waiting long, and when he’d seen we’d finished a drink, he asked if we’d like anything more, which when we did, it arrived quickly. He also made time to stop and chat to the children; he was very patient. Check the menu first, as they don’t seem to do a beef burger, however I was very tempted by the vegan burger. I had the bolognese and my daughter had vegan meatballs which were both really nice. My husband had the chicken in peppercorn sauce, which was cooked from scratch; very succulent and tasty. My son on the second visit chose the penne tomato pasta from the children’s menu. He’s 10 and it was a reasonable portion for him (perfect for slightly younger), but helped by a portion of delicious fries! It’s a really nice place to eat and you can tell they all work really hard.

Attentive staff. Quick service. Excellent food. Modern comfortable restaurant. Indoor pizza oven. Clean well laid out tables.

We recently visited Alnmouth for a week’s holiday. We are dinner here 4 times as it was so good. Really warm welcome, excellent food and good value. Super dog friendly. Would definitely return .

Lovely people, great service. Would recommend both the fish & Chips and the pizzas. Dog friendly and they were really helpful and fed us even though they were really busy.

A fabulous stay .Rooms were tastfully decorated , well appointed and very comfortable .We had a large walk in shower which was great after long walks( puffin room) All staff were excellent- friendly helpful and efficient offering excellent service across our three night stay .Breakfast was excellent with good choice .We tried full English and also Eggs Benedict with plenty of coffee and tea all very tasty and well presented. We ate in the restaurant on our first night -amazing fish and chips on Good Friday and booked again for our last night when we had delicious mussels and a sharing antipasta board .Menu had a very good choice and they also made pizzas in their own pizza oven.We have stayed in several places in Alnmouth but will make this our place of choice next time we visit . Well done to all staff for making our stay such a good one .

Lovely ambience, friendly staff, good food, prompt service. dog friendly. Reasonable prices. What more do you need. Would come again.

The front of the restaurant certainly doesn’t do it justice ! tastefully decorated and lovely ambience, the food was on another level, the Chicken Cacciatore is probably the best I have ever tasted ( I’ve tasted a lot ) my wife had the Picanho Steak which was also exceptional and with a reasonably priced good wine list we were more than pleased, just disappointed we found it on the last day of our stay in Alnmouth 🙄

The roast Sunday lunch was substantial: plenty of belly pork for me, lamb for her with nice roast potatoes and lots of turnip, mashed potatoes and an outstanding and large Yorkshire pudding. However the mixed green vegetables were exactly the same as a microwaveable portion that I had bought the day before from the co-op which was bit of a disappointment to realise that the chef was cheating. Service was efficient and friendly. It was a very quiet afternoon with only two other diners. It was dog friendly and a bowl of water was provided for our thirsty dog on request. The pint of Alnwick IPA was very nice. The one bit that really annoyed me was the almost £5 ‘service charge’ added to the bill. Don’t have a board outside advertising Sunday lunch for £16.95 then sneakily chuck a whopping charge on top. This insidious metropolitan practice which I thought we had got rid of in the 90’s really peezes me off. The tip would have been bigger. In conclusion , nice but nothing special.

Six of us had a very nice evening meal here. All had starters and mains. The steaks looked very good and the chips tasted great. I had the prawn Alla King, loads of flavour and a nice sauce. The food and the customer service were excellent, so much so that two couples booked for their overnight stay and steak night Wednesday. Would not hesitate to visit again.

This was our third trip to the Hope and Anchor using the Winter staycation deal. We arrived Wednesday lunchtime, and we parked our car up right outside. We received a warm welcome from the Bar Manager Marcus. Check-in was swift, We made a reservation for the evening meal, and Marcus offered to help us with our baggage as we had taken our dog with us. The hope and anchor are very dog friendly. Our dog Freddie was made to feel very welcome, He was able to dine with us in the restaurant too. We ate there both nights. We found the food to be excellent. The steak night deal on Wednesday was very good value for money and delicious. Our room was immaculate. We stayed in Lapwing. It was modern and spacious. The room was very warm, which was lovely, especially at this time of the year. The breakfast menu had a good choice of hot food to set you up for the day ahead. The Hope and Anchor is situated in a good location with street parking. Excellent base for local walks and, of course, the beautiful Alnmouth beach! The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to our trip next year!

Lovely lunch. A return trip for the fish finger sandwiches. Huge portions and delicious. The staff are friendly and accommodating and service was quick. Would highly recommend.

Woah.., the fish and chips were incredible. Service was excellent too, Alnmouth is such a friendly place 👌

Stayed at The Hope and Anchor for 2 nights from 10th November and we had the most incredible stay Marcus was the most attentive host and nothing was too much trouble he is such a fabulous guy with a fab sense of humour. Our room was ready early which was a bonus and the room was beautifully decorated, clean and well stocked with teas and coffee and plenty of towels too. We unpacked and came down to the bar to have food and picked from the afternoon specials menu which was delicious and a huge portion and I would highly recommended choosing from this menu great choice We ate in the restaurant one is dog friendly also and we both had steak which was cooked to perfection I also had the mussel started and they where delicious I had the house Sauvignon blanc which as a fab price and great quality Breakfast menu has a great choice also hubby had full English and I had eggs Benedict which was delicious there was also a choice of fresh juices and cereals the breakfast staff where very attentive and service was exceptional Saturday afternoon we came back from a lovely walk around Alnmouth and then took the bus into Alnwick we came back and had the soup which was served with 2 wedges of focaccia which was just what the doctor ordered in a fresh but chilly day. After visiting the serviceman club to watch the Newcastle match which is definitely worth a visit great prices and very comfy and great atmosphere we went back to The Hope and Anchor for our evening meal Hubby had fish and chips or maybe that should be whale and chips lol which he said was the best he had had and I had the curry with prawns which was stunning and I’m sure the Arribiata was to lol finished with the tiramisu Without doubt we will be back the hospitality we experienced was outstanding Thank you Marcus for making our stay an amazing one and Thank you Tracey it was so lovely to meet and chat with you and being so approachable you have a little gem in The Hope and Anchor Best Wishes Maurice and Allison

Went as a family of four. We only went as they said they did gluten free. They did gluten free but very badly. We came away very disappointed. Gf Pizza was tiny and undercooked and had to send back and blonde waitress was very frosty and rude. If the gluten free pizza is this tiny it needs a reduction in price. No atmosphere in there, they had twinkly lights which were nice but also had spotlights on above which cancelled them out, music on was too loud. Food extremely over priced. We were put on table in corner which was very hemmed in and no room to move. Toilet door lock broken and floor filthy. We paid over £90 and didn’t even get a friendly smile.

Lovely place that's dog friendly, staff are really nice, all 5 of us had the fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce, the large fish (you can order a half if you want) was as fresh as a daisy and cooked to perfection in a light non greasy batter, the chips were plentiful and equally fresh, perfect mushy peas not reminiscent of school dinners and a perfectly balanced zingy/creamy tartare sauce. With a drink each the price was good for this day and age as a holiday treat, would definitely recommend and go again.

As usual, a really enjoyable experience, warm, friendly reception, good service and excellent food. We always eat here when visiting Alnmouth, our two Goldies are so well received, it is so dog friendly. The staff are to be commended for knowing the menu, Marcus in particular has gone the extra mile in accommodating some food intolerances- it is much appreciated😃. Looking forward to our next meal.

Lovely place! Lovely people. Clean rooms and comfy beds. The breakfast was delicious and made to order. If you decide to dine here in the evening, the food is excellent and you won’t be disappointed. We would definitely come again. Great location… few steps to a fabulous beach and a selection of pubs bars and eateries close by. A short drive to Alnwick for the castle and only an hour to Holy Island .

After being let down by another local restaurant, the very friendly staff managed to squeeze us in on what was already a busy night for them (Thank you for saving our night!). The staff, especially the gentleman, were amazing, so attentive and made us feel very relaxed. The food was beautiful, for a wide variety of dishes on the menu, and a selection ordered by our party, all were cooked to perfection. Thank you to all the staff! We would recommend to anyone to visit, especially if you want to go with your dog, as is so dog friendly!

So much looking forward to fish and chips in Alnmouth however the place was in darkness at 5pm . Nothing obvious stating they were closed so we decided to try the takeaway version on the website. Booking confirmed for collection at 6pm . Place still in darkness. £18 paid .Not happy 😡

A deservedly busy pub restaurant in the centre of Alnmouth. I had Pollo Milanese with crispy potato, rocket and parmesan salad, followed by a Chocolate Brownie. Both courses were excellent. Service was good, and the pub is extremely dog friendly - and very popular with dogs and their owners.

Stayed whilst en-route walking up the Northumberland Coast. The hotel looks newly renovated and the bar/restaurant area is spacious and modern. The bedroom was an inner one, so quiet and away from road noise. The bathroom was excellent with a lovely large walk-in shower. It was very warm and they'd supplied good fans to help keep you cool, which were welcomed! I would definitely recommend staying there. Thanks to all staff.

The good: A great location. Dog friendly as is most of Alnmouth. Hot breakfast is included and has a vegetarian option. Some of the staff nice (particularly the lady who checked us out). Tea and coffee in room and nice toiletries. The bad: Mainly, don’t expect to sleep in this room. The website says it “can get hot” (this is a massive understatement) and so they provide “air-con”….This was 2 old fans that were very noisy for very little breeze! I couldn’t hear the tv for them. Wifi didn’t work well in the room and toilet seat was also broken. Offered to scramble an egg for the dogs breakfast free of charge, which would have been a lovely gesture for a dog friendly hotel….Then charged me £5 for it at checkout because the manager wouldn’t give it away!!!

A lovely one night stay. Beautiful food for our evening meal. The steak was delicious. I've read that some people mentioned the service charge. There is but we would normally pay this for a tip anyway so wasn't a problem for us. Such a dog friendly place. We had a comfortable stay and a lovely breakfast. 😍 polite friendly staff. Perfect for a short stay in beautiful Alnmouth.

We booked our table a few weeks, glad we did, great pizza, a lovely chicken salad and two fantastic portions of fish and chips Great service, well presented, very professional, highly recommend to others Alunmouth is a popular place, fabulous beach, parking on the beach...

Stayed here for 3 nights. Room was small but clean and comfortable and all staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our only issue was that the food is overpriced for what it is. Husband had a steak with peppercorn sauce, and the sauce cost £4!...

Stayed for two nights in Lapwing. Very comfortable and large room. Lovely bathroom, large walk-in shower. Good choice of hot breakfast, eggs Benedict very good. Ate on the first night and it was extremely tasty. I had steak and fantastic onion rings (extra) and my...

Disappointed with our first meal in Almouth and other travellers need to be aware that; 1 This is not a fish restaurant despite the web images and pictures here. 2 There seems to be an Italian feel which the manager will tell you people seem...

We stayed here for 2 nights and the rooms we had were lovely. Such a nice welcome from Marcus and the others. We ate here on one night and we all enjoyed our food, it wasn’t very warm but the staff warmed it up for...

The fish and chips were great and huge. My vegan burger was ok but not great. It is expensive for what it is and beware a sneaky 10% service charge will be added. Our bill was £80 for two adults and two children. Lovely staff...

Restaurant wasn’t quiet but didn’t have a lot of atmosphere. It has a takeaway fish and chip shop attached so does smell like a chippy. Waitress was lovely and helpful. Food wasn’t great, although fish and chips was lovely, pollo Milanese wasn’t really pollo Milanese,...

What a fantastic steak offer: £45 for 2 including a bottle of wine. Food was delicious & plentiful. Staff absolutely delightful. Highly recommended

Excellent rooms, incredibly helpful staff and great food. Plus an ideal location in my favourite place to stay. Thank you x

Excellent BnB, shame about the parking. Took me from just after 19.30 until 20.39 to park. By which time it was too late to eat. Hope and Anchor staff couldn't give me any advice. To make matters worse EE had no coverage outside and I...

A great choice of food and drink n this restaurant. Staff are so friendly and attentive. The place is spotlessly clean. Food is delicious. Would recommend booking as it is very popular.

My partner and I booked. Stayed in the kitty wake room. Room spacious, bathroom spotless, bed comfortable. Great facilities, beautiful decor. We had late evening dessert and then breakfast. All good

Amazing fish and chips Wanted fish and chips on our holiday, this was a lunchtime meal. Perfect Host was very busy but attentive. Excellent

We had our evening meal here twice and both meals were lovely. Staff were friendly aswell. It gets busy so I suggest 100% booking in. It's a dog friendly place also but just let the person know who is booking you in if ur bringing...

Ordered take away fish and chips. Fish was good chips average. However staff member was quote rude. We had misunderstood about being able to eat inside. But when we went to order all the tables outside were taken by people eating take away fish and...

Came here for evening meal and it did not disappoint! Food and servi e both excellent in a lovely atmospheric restaurant!

Warmly welcomed on the busy Arts Festival weekend and shown to our very comfortable bedroom. Had drink outside in the sun with friends and a meal later in the evening. Lovely atmosphere, food and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We ate here on three evenings as our B&B accommodation offered only a limited evening menu. We were not disappointed, choosing different main courses each time we could not find fault. All staff were excellent, the place was busy and it deserved to be.

Lovely spot for an evening meal in Alnmouth. Came here with a large group of friends when visiting for the weekend and the fish and chips did not disappoint. (Be warned, the portions are enormous!) Cheers to the friendly staff for having us

Stayed for four nights. Lovely room and the staff were so friendly. We ate evening meal there three of the four nights as the food was great. Breakfast was bril and the breakfast staff lovely. Highly recommended!

Very busy place, so do pre book. Great varied menu and excellent quality food. Really friendly atmosphere and great staff, definitely worth a visit

Lacking atmosphere and dumbfounded by willingness to significantly overcharge. To be fair to them they did refund but only after I went back (as husband was too polite to question) The issue arose because were told there was no children’s menu. My husband pointed one...

Fabulous takeaway fish and chips, would definitely recommend. Very friendly service and prices spot on.

We ate here last week after having a lovely meal last September. Service was quite slow but we expected it as they were short staffed. The young man serving us was very nice but was rushing around. The food however was disappointing. Steak was chewy...

Over priced mediocre food and very sneaky 10% service charge added to already expensive basic menu. Only realised when we left. Not happy. Avoid! Avoid! Seemingly a tourist trap. Steak was also a cheap cut and very chewy - good job my teen has good...

Not a very nice visit, Yorkshire puddings were flat and over cooked, roast potatoes were solid but the beef was pink, if I’d had a 12 volt battery I’m sure I could have brought the cow back to life !!! The sweets were nice but...

Despite the fact we live nearby in Alnwick now and almost 10 years of coming to the area, last Saturday was the first time we tried H&A. Can't fault it - excellent, warm service and the pizzas were bang on the money - crisp light...

Visited The Hope and Anchor for dinner, on a very cold and snowy March evening. The restaurant was lovely and warm and we were made to feel very welcome. We both enjoyed our food and would happily visit again!

Just finished fish and chips here with my other half. I have to say the food was beautiful and very reasonably priced. Fish and chips for 2 with drinks for £30.

We came in a very busy night, staff were so friendly and attentive, they were rushed off their feet but never showed it, every table was seen to very quickly! Outstanding service and food was excellent! I had mussels and hubby fish chips absolutely beautiful!...

Just returned from a fabulous 2 night DB&B break here. Absolutely loved our stay and already planning on returning next year for another winters getaway based on our experience. Special thanks to Marcus for such a warm and welcoming arrival, friendliness and attention to detail...

Popped in on a Friday evening and had no plans for dinner. We were made to feel really welcome and the bar service was great. We decided to get a pizza to takeaway and I am still thinking about it weeks later. Not a coincidence...

Visited for lunch we had booked but table wasn’t ready so had sometime waiting. Food was nice, nothing at all special the stand out part was the price. Lasagne - medium sized portion, no sides just a square of lasagne £16, fettuccini bolognaise £15 and...

We had a table for two in the dog friendly bar - all dogs were well behaved. The general atmosphere was busy but good. Our starter and main course were excellent. The cod and spinach curry and tortellini dish were particularly tasty. The service was...

We had a meal on Friday evening. The service was very impersonal by a male waiter who was rushing about and was anything but calm. The female staff were better. The food was average and they tolerated dogs but made no effort to welcome them....

Separate vegan menu with a good choice, including dessert. Staff were very knowledgeable and just the right amount of tentative.

Evening meal. Very friendly service. Excellent food, cooked perfectly with good presentation. Lovely place to eat. Good atmosphere I'd definitely go again. Would highly reccomend it.

We had forgotten to book anywhere (it was a Tuesday in June) and we had the dog - so we wandered over to Hope and anchor with their pretty chairs outside. Husband went and ordered (big mistake) and asked if it was all right if...

Delicious meals in a family and dog friendly environment. Between us we had the chicken skewers, the cod curry and the steak and all were exceptional and would highly recommend them. I visited with 2 kids and a dog and couldn’t have felt more welcome....

Staying at Alnmouth Shoreside huts, behind the golf course. Hungry after a good walk & cold swim. Although fully booked, they pencilled us in, in case of cancellation, which happened. I had potted crab followed by lemon sole. Both delish. Sue had something vegetarian &...

The Hope and Anchor has a good reputation, normally. While I am conscious of staff shortages impacting their ability to operate at full capacity, I found the lady at front-of-house to be quite brusque with a barked 'have you booked?' when we tried to eat...

We dined here twice during our stay in Alnmouth. The service and food were very good. Our dog was also made to feel welcome.

Visited the Hope and Anchor on the off chance for a late lunch after a walk with the dog. Boy was that of our better decisions over the week. The fish was amazing, what a size, it tasted great. My wife had the steak and...

Just had yet another great steak on their Wednesday steak night, our third visit of our holiday, one more to go! We always visit here during our stay in Alnmouth and the food and service are consistently brilliant. Tonight we were served by Jamie who...

Working locally and found out they did take away. Popped in and the lass was very welcoming and friendly.

We called in for Sunday lunch, and it was fine. One minor but indicative point – we each ordered the same item on the menu – roast pork. When asked if we would like any sauces, we each asked for apple sauce … but only...

I tried to make a reservation for a table for 8 and was told it was not possible, but I could have 2 tables of 4. I asked if they could be put together and told no but would be side by side. It wasn’t...

Tried all varieties of roast lunch between the 4 of us and all were very pleased. Well cooked meats, good variety of fresh veg, great Yorkshire puds and super gravy. A little strange that no apple sauce available for pork but mint sauce was available...

Had high hopes after seeing previous reviews, ordered drinks and was brought of a jug of water to accompany it all good and well but no glasses were brought for it so it sat on the table for the duration of the meal. Staters came...

Great food & service, lovely cocktails,been before, & dog friendly, would recommend booking as gets quite busy especially on an evening.

Great place! And they sell non alcoholic wine (I was pregnant) which was nice to have with the meal rather than coke etc! Lovely food!

We had a 2 course meal on Saturday evening starting with the tomato soup then steak fettuccini & ribeye steak, both meals were simply delicious, the food, the service & the atmosphere, really enjoyed it & hope to return, worth every penny, just be mindful...

Lovely place to spend a showery blustery day in Alnmouth with two Labradors. Lovely welcome from the staff. Had fish finger sandwiches with chunky chips and that was tasty. Great atmosphere and lots of people in there with theirs dogs too.

We had a lovely lunch at the dog friendly Hope & Anchor. Bernaise sauce was glorious. Service was cheerful and efficient
