The Oaks Hotel in Northumberland

Went for a meal this evening Atmosphere was lovely, food was delicious and staff were amazing, very friendly Would highly recommend

We have eaten here twice in the last few weeks, once for lunch and once for dinner. On both occasions the food was very good - fresh bread for sandwiches and lovely main courses in the evening. We are particularly impressed that there is a good range of vegetarian dishes. Service was very good on both occasions with friendly and welcoming staff. We look forward to our next visit.

Ate at The Oaks twice during our stay in Alnwick. We found the staff to be helpful and friendly and thoroughly enjoyed both evening meals. A good find when the other eateries in Alnwick were fully booked.

We walked around Alnwick looking for a place to eat and everywhere was fully booked, someone told us to try The Oaks. We walked up there, only a few minutes from where we were staying and had a lovely evening meal.

We stayed here last night and upon arrival the hotel looked nice and very pleasant... but that's where it stops the room was very sparse with no dresser to sit and do your make up or hair, the window is a health and safety risk as the window pulled right up and is very low a child could have fallen right out from the top floor this will be reported further. There was no milk to make a cup of coffee/tea the complimentary biscuits were cheap custard creams, no inside handle on the shower door, the shower gel and soap provided were the smallest I've ever seen considering there were 2 of us one just wasn't enough, no toilet roll hanger either, no heating in the room or air con, even the curtains were not hung properly yes the room has recently been refurbished and was clean but lacked the finer details for the money we spent.Customer service was very poor with 2 members of staff who would rather gossip about other colleagues than see to their guests but they must have learned that from the owner Martin as he is very rude and obnoxious, you only get out of your team what you put in and being berated for not standing at the designated smoking point scolding your guests is not on. There are no signs to say where you must stand but when we left this morning there were cigarette butts everywhere outside so maybe this is something Martin can improve on.. Manners cost nothing and this will be sent to the brewery who owns the hotel. The noise the fighting the traffic was horrendous you would think it was a boxing match live in the car park and not the football last night. Breakfast was mediocre and left much to be desired so do not believe the pictures you see you will be left disappointed. Not once did I see any ember of staff sanitise their hands at all when I was there and there was no mentioning of track and trace at all oh and if you need the loo downstairs in the bar area then maybe keep it in till you get somewhere more accommodating as the toilets were a mess with tissue paper and whetever else from the night before. For £120 I'd be looking to book somewhere else if I was you.

We used to be regulars here but haven't been for long time because of the pandemic so decided to try the outside dining area. There are now a good few tables outdoors which, on a good day, are very nice to sit at. We had a casual lunch - sandwiches which came with chips. Bread was very fresh and they adapted my chosen sandwich to my wishes (prawns without sauce). Service was very friendly and good so all in all it was a good experience and we look forward to returning.

Booked for Sunday lunch, arrived before allocated time seated and ordered food, 30 minutes later food arrived roast lamb and a lasagna, Roast included a giant tasteless and bland yorkshire pudding covering nearly all the plate. Cabbage bland swede mash runny tasteless.Lasagna, looked like one pile of pasta scraped out of dish in one heap on the plate and the mince also looked as scraped and dumped on the plate, complained about the state and was told can have another but as from same batch will be the same,Opted for a replacement roast lamb dinner. without the yorkshire as knew tasteless, one sage onion? ball that was cold. 2 soggy roast potatoes 3 pieces of carrot and probably 4 pieces of lamb, lucky of made 2 slices,Poor food and s certainly not value for the cost.Poor start for a well known pub grub venue after lock down.

Visited with family 4 of us. Everything is OK but thats about it. I had fish and chips. Fish was OK, chips came in a small bucket and there were 5 which for the price us not good. Mushy peas very watery couldnt eat them. Lovely side salad, no tartar sauce (heard another table complaining they were not served tartar sauce with scampi) Service was slow but polite and friendly. Surroundings old fashioned but ok. Food is typical average bar food which is very well presented and nice atmosphere as it is a hotel and quite busy.

We had a wonderful family meal here whilst visiting the area. The portion size was huge no going back hungary. I had the burger and chips husband lamb kleftico and the kids enjoyed there meals also. Very well priced for what we had including drinks we will definately return next time we are in the area great service. Very cheerful staff thank you elesha(im sure thats what i heard someone call you) the layout and thought that had gone into making customers feel safe and at ease at this very difficult time was greatly appreciated.

My wife and myself are here for a 3nt stay whilst visiting the surrounding area.We had dinner here last night which was delicious and well presented.Our room is very spacious and clean with everything to hand but two things are missing in the room and those are a hair dryer and most importantly a mattress protector,which I would have thought should be on the bed for hygiene reasons.Apart from that,this is a good place to stay and it’s only a short stroll into Alnwick.

We stayed at the Oaks hotel for two nights, at at the hotel the first night we were short of time and hadn't time to book anywhere else to eat, so we decided to eat at the hotel, this was a good decision as the food was of a really good quality and well presented, the food was also well priced and a very reasonable choice considering the way things are at the moment. I invited my family up for a meal the following night and they all agreed that the food was great and would certainly recommend the Oaks as somewhere to eat. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. I'd recommend the steak and the Cheese and Onion soup, might sound strange but totally delicious.

I absolutely love this place I craved for a Sunday lunch although they did deliver during the pandemic and still are I held off until they opened half their dining room and it was definitely worth the wait beef dinner was beautiful service was great nice calm atmosphere and not to pricey either for a couple 2 mains 2 puds and a few cheeky pints if you're up this way book a table or just have a drink in the beer garden

We have just stayed for two nights at The Oaks and it was really good value for money. Our room was lovely,clean warm with lovely bath in the room and separate shower in bathroom. Although on a main road it was quiet. There was plenty of room to park. We ate in the hotel and the food was very well cooked with lovely choices and a great early bird menu. I had the best roast dinner. Breakfast was in price of room and again well cooked. What we noticed was how happy all the staff seemed to be working there and very friendly. It is not far to walk into Alnwick which is a lovely place and also close to some other lovely attractions. Thank you for a great service. To be recommended to others.

Brilliant little gem of a pub! We’ve visited Alnwick many times and decided to try this place for lunch on the way home, best decision we made! 3 course lunch for £12.95 and the food was exceptional! We chose from the set menu and the presentation and quality of food far exceeded what we were expecting, will definitely be back next time we’re in the area. Nice to see dogs allowed in the bar area and it’s obviously a popular choice as guests were arriving and checking in while we ate. Bar and restaurant were quiet, relaxed and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Stayed 2 nights, enjoyed a lovely welcoming short break. Food was excellent and service was quick, friendly and efficient. Lovely clean and comfortable room with modern decor.

Large comfortable room, had a few good meals :fish pie, seafood risotto, good cooked breakfast🍻🍷☕🥂

Great little hotel. Friendly welcome and booking in. Nice room (bit dusty 😬). Great evening meals and nice breakfast to start the day. Some background noise but above the bar and next to a road.

My first choice was not available on both the nights that we ate here.The food was straight forward without any extra fuss. Tasty and filling. Well presented and completely adaquate. We had breakfast on three mornings. Plenty of food Buffet style start and a main breakfast choice which was perfectly adequate. The kippers from Seahouses were delicious. The Northumberland breakfast was big.

Bedrooms brill, food awesome , staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing to much bother. liked it so much we have booked again for next year.

The Oakes Sunday carvery is very good. The beef was very tender and the Yorkshire puddings huge! There was a good mix os seasonal vegetables and good meat gravy.

Not the best place we have eaten. Went for the carvery, service was slow and when one of our family went up to get there meal from the carvery they were packing up even though she was told to go now. The service was slow and after the wait the food was not the best we have had.Don't think we will return.

Our group had the roast of the day. Very nicely presented but it had that look and taste if being reheated. Carrots had strange taste. Another person had lasagne, very nice presentation but quite bland to taste and hot and cold in parts so reheated? Garlic bread rock hard. Puddings (cheesecake) not nice served with vile spray cream and a very cheap ice cream. All food presented very well but on this occasion was bland and not the best. Lovely staff and good service. No baby changing facility in ladies toilets. Had to change baby on top of unit. Poor lighting and no paper towels All very poor clearly no thought or effort to accommodate families.

Pleasant food and good service. Short walk from the hotel. It was good value. We eat there twice and had a nice time.

basic but lovely food. staff very helpful. we went for the early bird special, 3 corse for £15. will certainly use again. 1 downside was the toilets, not the cleanest by a mile.

We visited while on holiday and went for the two course lunchtime special. Excellent value at £9.95 for a two course meal. We had soup of the day and pate to start, both were good portions, then scampi, chips and salad and a turkey curry and rice. With a drink each the bill was £27. The staff are lovely and it’s certainly very good value.

We stayed for 2 nights and ate in the restaurant on the first night. The table service was dreadful. It took 3 of us and 20 minutes for them to clear our plates from the main course. The bedroom was very small and had too much furniture. Most of the staff did not seem interested in serving their guests. We paid more for that accommodation than we did in Central London.

Whilst on holiday, we met up with another friend for tea one night as he was also on holiday and staying in The Oaks. Unfortunately the card machine wasn't working so thankfully our friend put everything on his room tab and we squared up with him later. I checked what meats were available on the carvery and my two dining companions ordered items from the menu for themselves. When their food arrived, my friend and I went to the carvery (as I currently have a broken foot in a boot, so he was going to serve and carry my plate for me) to collect my meal and found out that they didn't actually have the meat that I had been advised was on offer and that I wanted.The staff member very kindly said that they could heat some up for me in the back and it would take a few minutes, which they did; needless to say, the other two meals weren't as hot as they should have been when I finally got mine and my companions started to eat them. The food was certainly ok and we moved to the bar area once we had finished eating to have another drink together. The bar lady kindly took a picture of us on request and advised us on the best place to get petrol on our way back to our own accommodation.

Called here as a two couples and enjoyed lunch from the over 60s special menu. What great quality, everything was wholesome and tasty. Really friendly service from all the staff. Over 60 and in Alnwick, this should be your lunchtime destination of choice.

We have eaten here a few times now and it never disappoints. Very varied menu from daily roast, the best steak and ale pie I have ever eaten to seafood linguine and Greek lamb dishes. Early bird menu too 5-7pm, 2 courses around £12. Great service too.

Had a very pleasant evening in the bar we then went through for an evening meal which was a mistake as it ruined the evening the 2 evening meals where very tasteful but very over priced for what it was it was also very noisy as it was right next to the bar and a group of about 8 men came in who where load and swearing we left as soon as we had eaten the main meal would we go again no

Enjoyed 2 meals at the Oaks. One a carvery and one from the menu. Both tasty &reasonably; priced. Efficient staff.

long weekend at the oaks superb food excellent accommodation great location for lots of places to visit, staff very friendly and helpful cant fault it at all

Signs outside pubs advertising car very near no relation to actual cost of meal. Owner of pub extremely rude when I questioned this. Avoid this pub at all costs. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE !!

Great welcome , staff very friendly . Room very clean,modern and to a high standard. Breakfast very good and again staff very accomodating . Would definitely recommend this bar/ hotel to anyone staying in the area. It is very local to centre and parking. We did not eat here as had alternative arrangements however the food looked fantastic when we had drinks in the bar and hospitality .

We stayed in one of the rooms outside on the main pub building. Our room was lovely and comfy, hotel was in a quiet location. Cooked breakfast was beautiful. Had great potential but a few things let it down. The designated smoking area was a few steps from our door, meaning a cloud of tobacco smoke to walk through whenever you go out. Breakfast staff hopeless, really need training. Really bad soundproofing so when cleaning staff were grumbling outside our room that we hadn’t left yet, we could hear every word.

We once again had a really good meal here with friendly service and a warm and pleasant atmosphere. The menu has a good vegetarian choice - at least 3 or 4 items depending what is on the specials board and we can also recommend the fish and chips and the fish pie which are both superb. The bar is a traditional northern pub bar with a good ambiance and all are welcome - locals and visitors alike. The place is very popular for its carvery and if you are vegetarian you can just have all the veggies which are very good indeed. Overall we like this inn very much indeed.

We visited this location for lunch although just got in before the kitchen closed approximately 2:00 pm, the menu that we chose was the three course pensioners rate which included soup, main & sweet and the choice was limited however what we had was excellent.

Enjoyed a one night stay here to visit local area. A warm welcome and nicely decorated and spacious room. All spotlessly clean. We were able to leave car there while we visited Alnwick castle and town centre which was an added bonus. Lovely breakfast. Thanks also for voucher for the Castle which saved us 15% each. A nice gesture.

I have eaten in the oaks a few times over several years, and this is the first time I have had any major gripes over what I received. My parents and I ordered the Sunday Carvery and most of it was the fairly decent run of the mill carvery, however the large Yorkshire puddings were dry as a bone and tasted like biscuits almost like they were just made of flour and water.

The carvery was by far the best I've had in a long long time, brilliant choice of meats and vegetables. 5*

The best thing about The Oaks is the food...No wait! The best thing about The Oaks is the staff...No wait! The best thing about The Oaks is the location! I think I have to admit it’s all fantastic. We went up with my in laws and it was a brilliant weekend. Plenty to do in the area, we actually stayed so we could go to The Treehouse for Sunday lunch. But on the Saturday went on a boat trip and saw dolphins. Sunday before lunch went to the Book Exchange, largest in the U.K. Throw in antiques, great meals in the staff and a very attentive waitress called Beth and everything is perfect. However, avoid Booking.com if you have disabilities the hotel were only notified on the day about ours.

Our party decided to lodge in Alnwick and use it as a base, real well appointed hotel and well run, excellent food and plenty of it.

It’s very near to the Alnwick castle and gardens. We can walk to the castle in 15 minutes. Family rooms are available. All basic facilities are available and comfortable. The breakfast was good. Alnwick castle and the gardens are excellent.

Went to the oaks on Tuesday lunchtime we ordered off the lunchtime special menu. My wife had the terrine and I had toats soup both were excellent. We then had the steak pie.

Nothing special I'm afraid although the room was very clean - doors noisy to open and close. Restaurant had a 'fatty' smell when we first checked in however that had disappeared when we went down for breakfast the next day. The quality of the food was ok but be prepared to sit at the table they assign to you with your room number.

Had a nice meal here at The Oaks but unlike previous dining experiences the vag was sadly lacking in that there was hardly any. When we had dined here in the past we had been given a decent sized bowl of vegetables but in this occasion there was so very little. What has happened? Perhaps someone could explain.

We often visit the book exchange in Alnwick and we decided again to use the Oaks as my granddaughter loves the burger. Its meaty and she loves their chips. I again had the Roast Turkey which is really good. Daughter had Beef & very good. Wife had Beef Pie which came with lovely pastry (not a bought in top as many places do.) All in all Main courses superb. Now onto desserts we tried three out of about five choices. All were positively delightful. These Desserts were the best we have eaten in any Restaurant. We visit fine dining establishments often and these Dessert were amazing. Service excellent an amazing lunch. The price is right also.

We came for the special lunch deal (2 courses for 9.95) as our first choice pub had been overbooked. We had been before in the evening, treated by parents and the food had not been bad so decided to take advantage of their offer. Unfortunately after this visit to The Oaks, we realised it was a false economy as the drinks were overpriced (and not clearly listed).

We have eaten at the Oak many times over a 10 year period and have always had a really nice meal. Today however something went wrong! There was 3 of us and we all had roast of the day. The roast potatoes were very over done and looked warmed up, the Yorkshire pudding shattered on the plate. My mum had beef, it was so thin you could see through it and there was 2 very small pieces. We did mentioned that the meal was disappointing and received an apology. We have had large family gatherings at the Oak in the past but will try else where in future.

Decided to skip the carvery and had dishes from the menu. The scampi was excellent and had a great salad with it. The haddock the other half had was well received and had very crispy batter. Perfect meal again

I visited here with 3 friends whilst on a golf trip. We stayed in twin rooms. The rooms were ok but in need of modernising. Having spoken to the landlord I understand that is soon to be done. The bar and food were superb. Great ales and food. The landlord was really friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back here. Good place to stay whilst visiting Northumberland.

Called on chance for food on a saturday night.Got a table striaght away and staff were pleasant.Ordered fish and chips / scampi.After a quick service was surprised the size of the meals and were very nice was well pleased with our meal.Would recommend to eat here anytime.We were only staying down the road from here so was very handy.

Me and my partner come here often for a Roast in the evening or a Carvery on a Sunday. It is a lovely relaxed place to eat with plenty of space for eating, the tables aren't packed together and we have never had to wait for a seat.

WE arrived in Alnwick late on Friday night not knowing where to eat and as The Oaks was closest we were lucky enough to find a table in the bar, it was busy. Bar staff were very pleasant and attentive, our meal was very good and considering how busy it was arrived piping hot and without too long a wait. Great atmosphere with both families and couples.

First visit to The Oaks for dinner. Service was excellent, staff friendly and helpful. My husband and I both had the prawn cocktail starters and roast of the day for mains, delicious, hot and tasty. More than ample portions, huge Yorkshire pudding with roast and boiled potatoes and selection of freshly tasting vegetables. This was the early bird menu which is available up to 7pm and at a cost of just £12.00 per head was great value for money. We will certainly be back. The Oaks have a Sunday carvery and I am looking forward to sampling this .

We visited on Sunday 14 Oct 2018. There were 5 in our party, 4 of which chose to have The Carvery, my son had Fish and Chips. The carvery was delicious., a proper home cooked Sunday Lunch. My son's Fish and Chips were to quote him " The best I've had in a long time". We will all be going back.

We ate in here three eveni us during a short break staying in alnwick. The early bird menu is such good value and it's available up to 7pm. The food was lovely on all three evenings. Chose the sole on seafood linguni on one night and it was delicious. We went in this place z few years ago and was not impressed, if now has different management and clearly another chef, it's also had a refurb. Wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend. Please try and book before you go.

The place could do with a bit of tlc, but having said that the staff and food were both very good. We ordered lemon sole and the scampi both were well cooked and presented. Quick service too. We shared a dessert - lemon drizzle cake with custard yum! Reasonable priced too. A good place to eat in Alnwick.

Looking for somewhere to eat on a Sunday, came across this little gem! Best carvery I've ever had. GIANT yorkies and lush veg and mash , just like how your mam would make it. Veg was cooked lovely normally you have hard veg but this was cooked to perfection. Staff were welcoming and adhering. Chef was very polite and chatted whilst serving which is great! Thanks for a lush Sunday dinner.

My husband and I have only had an evening meal at the Oaks Hotel but there is a great choice of food and not too pricey. Staff are very friendly and food hot.

Sadly only found this place the day before our holiday was due to end.However,had a lovely lunch and a huge breakfast on our way home.Very tasty,well cooked and served by nice friendly staff.

Our plans unexpectedly changed late in the day and we were without a room on the Scottish border. The Oaks Hotel was able to accommodate us at the late hour and the staff seemed to bend over backwards for us. Too late for the regular dinner hour, the manager was able to work with kitchen to prepare a meal for us. Typical British fare, but it was tasty and filling, and we were able to relax in the bar afterwards with a beer and gauge our knowledge listening to a trivia contest.

Went to this hotel restaurant a few years ago. As it has a car park and is easy to access my husband and I decided to go for lunch. The welcome from the older waitress wasn't particularly warm, but we chose to eat in the restaurant rather than the bar. They served a "Pensioners' Special" lunch and we ordered from that menu. The only drawback was the lack of choice of starters and desserts. The main menu had a good selection of dishes, but the starter was soup, take it or leave it. I asked to have a fruit juice instead and the waitress grudgingly brought me a small glass of orange juice. It was a similar issue with dessert as my husband can't eat ice cream, but there was no alternative. We were charged an extra £1 each for a pot of tea which I thought was very reasonable. Perhaps the restaurant could consider offering fruit juice as an alternative starter and a tray bake, or something similar, to give a choice of sweet? It doesn't necessarily have to be hot.

Lovely food resonable price good selection. Staff friendly. However if i visited again i would sit in the dining room as every time the door opened i got a blast of cold air.

Decor a bit in need of updating, but service and food were fine. At one end of the town which happened to be handy for us.

We sat on the patio with our pooches, the parasol was a godsend. We both had a fish finger stottie - OMG it was huge. Proper fish and I opted for sweet potato fries. Lovely. We'll be back.

This was a welcome stop off for 1 night. Very friendly staff. I would rate staff service a 5. Good pint and wine. The food was average in general. For children there was no veg or healthy extra with the main meals. The rooms are dated but clean. The stay 1 night stop over was on the expensive side.

Abbiamo mangiato e bevuto bene, congrui i prezzi. Comodissimo perché alloggiavamo nella stessa struttura. Buone le birre

my husband and I stayed at Alnwick for the weekend and enjoyed our evening meal here on Saturday. The service was friendly and excellent. The menu had a great choice together with a specials board.

If I had tried this on day 1 I would have had it every night - best meal on the menu .... and great value for money.

We called in for a quick pub meal, very impressed with the choices on the menu and the size of the portions. Friendly staff

Called in on spec and was impressed. We had the Pensioners’ lunch and it was really good food and good value. Very pleasant and efficient staff and with a large car park. Would definitely go again.

We arrived tired and hungry in Alnwick and The Oaks was able to accommodate us. Excellent service, good quality pub food, Definitely recommended.

A group of six of us arrived on a busy quiz night without a booking and staff quickly found us a table. The food was excellent, My Portuguese friend and I particularly liked the the Black pudding Mash with the Liver and other friends enjoyed the roast dinner.

Called in after I finished work n a Sunday and the food and service was fantastic. Roast beef tender with great veg and Yorkshire and extra gravy brought to the table. Fish and chips got a thumbs up and desserts to finish were scrumptious

Just been for a carvery at this Pub. Easy parking, shown a table by one of the friendly staff and decided on the carvery. It was decent food in a clean and tidy environment. The staff were smiling and friendly. Thanks👍👍

After complaining over and over again saying that casserole and a piece of puff pastry is NOT a pie they now serve steak and Guinness pie. Thank you!

We were able to walk here from our holiday accommodation and visited on a Thursday and Friday evening. Didn’t need to book and the service and food is good and decently priced. Ambience fine including both the pub and restaurant areas. Beer choice and quality is good.

Have always enjoyed a meal here, but sadly not tonight. My starter was a total let down, tai fish cakes, putting all 3 together wouldn’t make a half fish cake! Main, roast lamb (very tender) green veg (3 small pieces of broccoli)bubble n’ squeak and gravy with red currents, (very salty). My partners meal, starter, goats cheese risotto , very nice. Main, Turkey pie and chips, yet again very salty gravy.. so a let down for both of us.

We had a super meal! The young waitress who greeted us was very friendly . The chicken burger was very tasty with 3 large crispy onion rings ,salad and chips. The steak burger was also very well received! The macaroni cheese with leeks was also very tasty and asking for it without mushrooms was not a problem.

Called in yesterday for lunch - just under £9 per head for two course lunch - we had fish, chips, peas and side salad followed by treacle sponge and custard. The meal - for the price - was excellent : ample portions for lunchtime meal and all hot and tasty. The staff here are always very friendly and happy to help. Would certainly recommend for mid week lunch.

The carvery was very good.the beef, pork and lamb were very well cooked, lots of veg to choose from, big Yorkshire puddings and tasty gravy. The service today was spot on!

Popped in today for one of the most amazing carvery lunches I've ever had Leek & potato soup to start...

Quite a surprise, this one, for a modest hotel/pub on the edge of town. Sunday lunch the large dining area...

This was our first visit to the Oaks Hotel after several recommendations. My wife had worked Sunday so we decided...

Great hotel , restaurant have eaten here many times always book though as its very popular, great home cooked food very filling and tasty , very friendly , can highly recommend , wouldnt go to Alnwick without having a meal here .

Adorei todos os pratos que provei. inclusive as sobremesas... mas estive aqui ha uns 20 anos... já deve ter mudado de gerencia.

A good varied menu with the normal pub grub with also a specials menu which is excellent. Portion sizes are enormous so be warned. If you like cheese cake theirs is one of the best. Also there is a good choice of drinks including craft beers.

We were staying locally and popped in for an evening meal - we had a very tasty dinner. The staff were very friendly and efficient and we didn't have to wait long for our food. We arrived just before 6.00pm and were the first ones in the restaurant - but not for long! It soon filled up with hungry diners so I'm glad we got in early.

Yesterday 5 of us had a beautiful meal, to celebrate my husbands 78th birthday. Food was excellent, service and hospitality first class. Thoroughly recommend it.

Had to go to Alnwick today to deliver some documents. Oh a whim, we booked a table at The Oaks Hotel, on the roundabout as you go into Alnwick ( from the South side). The table was booked for 12.30 and we arrived about 12.15 . We were greeted by a friendly waitress that took us to our table in the restaurant ( you can also eat in the bar).Our drinks order was taken quickly and the waitress informed us that she would advise us when the chef was ready for our table ( great idea because it means that there is not a stampede at the carvery. Within a couple of minutes, she came back and advised us "chef was ready" ...... What a superb lunch - there was pork, beef, gammon and turkey and a great range of veg - roasties, parsnips, cauliflower cheese, carrots, cabbage, swede - but oh my !!!!! The star of the show was The Yorkshire puds.... fantastic !!!We were served by an incredibly polite chef called Neil and as we ate our lunch, we were close enough to watch Neil's interaction with customers - what a lovely young man, his attitude, especially to the older customers was full of caring. He was a joy to watch. We were asked by 2 waitresses if we had enjoyed it and when we said yes, they both said "well please come back" . We left with very full tums and a feeling that our business had been very much appreciated and it also didn't empty our wallet - £8.95 for the lunch which was worth every penny. AND ...... yes everyone, we will most certainly be back. Thank you.

We arrived too late for the Carvery, but still managed to get a delicious Sunday lunch served from the kitchen, complete with the Oaks famous mega Yorkshire pudding, which alone, is worth a visit for!!Choice of two meats, mashed swede, crunchy green cabbage, carrots and broccoli plus crisp roast potatoes and lush gravy. And all for only £8.95! What more could you wish for?

Restauranten på The Oaks Hotell er populær og har ei veldig god, uformell atmosfære. Personalet er vennlege og serviceinnstilte. Utvalet av mat og drikke er godt og variert

My husband and I had quite a few meals at The Oaks Hotel. They had a good choice of menu - spoilt for choice if anything.They do an early starter from 5.30 but you can only get a starter and main not a main and sweet. I think that if they changed this to a main and sweet more people would go for this.

After reading positive reviews about The Oaks Hotel my partner and I were left feeling disappointed at our lunch meals. We chose the 'hot totties' which sounded delicious, his being the 'pulled pork' and mine 'fish finger', but they were basic and tasteless. The fish was bland but edible- however my partner said his was awful, the pork was obviously cold cuts that had been reheated and smothered in a sickly barbecue sauce with peppers and onions. There was nothing 'pulled' about it! As we were so hungry and this was our last meal in Northumberland we were left feeling disappointed at the quality, especially after reading such positive reviews on TripAdvisor prior to going there. The chips were nice enough and the menu had a good selection but we will not be returning the next time we visit Alnwick.
