The Shepherds Rest in Northumberland

From the first step in the staff have been welcoming and polite . Tables are spotless . Restaurant area is clean and comfortable . They also have a very nice pub area where to sit in front of an open fire . The young waitress have great customer service skills . Cannot fault the place . We had an amazing meal with delicious home made potato skin alongside an Angus burger and a very generous portion of gammon steak. .it is clear that everything is home made . We will definitely come back . Highly recommended .

We arrival at The Shepherds Rest shown to our room by a member of staff, just matter of fact, no conversation, didn’t ask how we were or about our journey or offer to help with bags etc. Bedroom very tired, creaky floor boards and beds, not very clean floor, there was a previous customers used tissue down the side of the bed, the beds had no headboards. The bedding and towels were changed during our stay. Bathroom very tired, plug didn’t fit in the sink and we had problems turning the light on and off. The over bath shower worked well and was hot. The rooms were cold, we asked several times about getting the heating turned on but the radiators didn’t warm up for long, the thermostat is in the bar, why should we have to keep on asking. We did try the food on our first night, we were given dried up chips and lasagna, no flavour, never again it was the worst meal we had anywhere during our week in Northumbria We had breakfast on our first morning, this was ok. We felt as though we were intruders, an inconvenience, there was no interest show in us at all during our stay The Shepherds Rest is a local drinkers pub not welcoming B&B.

Just been here for tea, absolutely shocking, menu very limited, chose homemade lasagne only because it said home made, big mistake, it was clearly made by a novice cook, no tomato, no onions and no flavour, just full fat mince a layer of pasta and cheddar cheese melted on top, vile. Husband chose chicken breast with mash, he had option of blue cheese sauce and peppercorn sauce but not being a sauce fan chose nothing, when it came it looked very dry so asked politely if he could have some gravy, we were sat in an area outside the kitchen and the door was open wide all the time we were there, we heard the waitress ask for gravy and the cook was clearly not happy with this small request. We could see everything going off in the kitchen and I must say they microwave was in full use, worst meal I’ve had in my life to be honest.

Avoid at all costs. Very poor. Food poor quality and not cheap. heated up frozen lasagne with no sauce and therefore dry as dust. Fish with batter not fully cooked, peas cold. Only red wine available very tasteless. Don't really care when complaints are made.

Horrendous food. Cold, forgot the veg and had finished meal and veg still not arrived. Complained, but basically response was 'sorry, but tough'. Wouldn't recommend.... Over priced for less than average chef

What a fantastic evening we've had. A small secluded campsite behind the pub..Had two terrific, delicious meals and such a wonderful evening with staff and locals..Really nice and friendly staff and locals. Such a lovely atmosphere..

Stayed here for a week while my partner was working in the area. Started off with a tent and then managed to get an upgrade via a friend to a caravan, anyhoo. Nothing is a problem to the staff at the Shep, electric cable hire, Toilet, waste disposal and more than sufficient shower, (bigger than most 3☆hotel bathrooms) food is homemade and delicious, the beer is top notch but most importantly, pub and campsite is dog friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend Jonny, Leah and the boys will be back.

Stayed here recently in a camper van and was absolutely horrified at the state of the toilet block. Disgusting, vile, insanitary - not fit for humans. The pub itself is ok, friendly staff, basic menu but fair. The state of the camping facilities are not acceptable - will never stay here again.

My partner and myself decided to pop down to Alnwick for the afternoon and get a Sunday lunch somewhere, after being knocked back everywhere we tried we decided to head back north , on passing the Shepherds rest I decided to pop in and see if we could get a table , not a problem and the first friendly and welcoming face we’d seen for the past hour . We were given a table in the bar and served with the most delicious Sunday roast ever , and very reasonably priced . Will certainly make this place our number one next time we’re down

We were hoping to stay here next week for 3 nights but unfortunately my wife had to be admitted to hospital on Tuesday when she had to have a serious operation . We got in touch with them to see if we could re book for a later date, and we were told that we hadn't cancelled within 7 days !!!! So we have to pay £144 even though we were 7days away and wanted to re book . What a heartless business you run , I hope you spend our money on something worthwhile and NOT yourselves , like donating it to it your local NHS hospital as the one my wife went into probably saved her life. We have r e booked to come to Alnwick but as sure as he'll we won't be setting foot is this place.

Lovely food, Amazing home cooked chips. Friendly helpful staff, nice location on the outskirts of the town.

We stayed here 1 night but ate 3 meals. Our room was very comfortable with plenty of space and lots of instant hot water. The food was a real highlight and the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. We only manged a short walk but there is some good walking around and not far from places like Malham Cove. Elslack is a quiet village away from the crowds.

Iv had Pat serving me breakfast the past two days, what a gem she is. Great service and great food. Easy to use when staying in the premier in.

Nice outdoor area very spacious, food was lovely and service was excellent. Plenty drink choice, nice and clean facilities also.

The food was very nice pub grub, our waitress was super friendly, only downside was despite all the signs and sanitisers it felt pretty much like business as usual here, the tables were pretty close and there were some people standing between the tables chatting, not much social distancing going on, didn't see any staff wearing face coverings. Would come back here, but not whilst covid 19 is still an issue.

I camped here for two nights and was brilliant both nights! We had tea and breakfast here and they were both amazing quality. The woman behind the bar was lovely. They also had a proper shower for campers which was amazing! Would definitely stay here again! Brilliant! Great location, easy walk into the centre of Alnwick.

My self and my husband stayed over night while celebrating our anniversary at the Indian restaurant in the town centre.The room was clean, fresh and comfortable. The service in the bar was friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming and they have worked heard to make sure its covered the social distancing and sanitising to give a feeling of safety. No complaints at all and would stay again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We visited here for a meal during our recent trip to Alnmouth. On arrival we were stood in the doorway waiting to be seated for quite a while as the staff ran around doing other things. Once seated we got our drinks brought to us and ordered our meal. No problem. After a rather long wait our starters were brought and the staff member said she would return with our cutlery. 10 minutes later still no cutlery snd my husband went to find out what the hold up was. Apparently the staff thought someone else had done it. Our food was fine. No problem there. Then we waited around 45 minutes and still no main course. We asked what had happened and the staff member said she would find out. A different member of staff came out to apologize and told us that our meal had been given to someone else and eaten. She was very apologetic and gave us a free drink . Our meal arrived pretty soon after this. Again, the food was good. Overall it was the service that let this place down. The pub is very nice inside and has a lovely beer garden. It’s also dog friendly, which was one of the reasons we chose it. It’s a shame because I think the staff were run off their feet while we were there.

Had a great 3 days site very flat went for lunch Sunday on arrival food was excellent staff VERY helpful and cheery pub garden was surrounded by beautiful hanging baskets toilet and shower were spotless one way system in the bar and plenty of sanitiser available b and breakfast also available Alnwick about 5 mins walk downhill might want to get a taxi back but only 4 pounds special mention to Claire and Sue the owner Claire was very approachable and helpful small site no noise from the bar booking is advisable seems to be popular rebook ed for 2 days n nights next week

Popped in for lunch at this proper pub. Very friendly staff and felt very safe with lots of COVID precautions in place. Excellent proper pub food and delicious chips!! Excellent portion size and value for money too! Well deserves a visit in looking for a good hearty meal.

The Shepherds Rest is the kind of pub that was all over the place before Weatherspoons came along. The food we had was home cooked and was both tasty and good value. What really impressed us was the lady who was running the place single handed, she looked after a fairly full bar and also brought out our food and cleared away once we had finished. The other customers were very friendly and were happy to engage in a conversation.

Fantastic Bed & Breakfast, could not fault 1 bit, staff were all friendly & couldn't do more to help you. Food was absolutely gorgeous & our rooms were spot on, nice & clean, I would definitely recommend & I would stay here again no problem..

We had a 3 night stay in our caravan in July, nice site with clean amenities and just a short walk into Alnwick, bit of a hill mind but no big deal. Pubs fine with very friendly staff and locals, So all in all, very pleasant.

Portions were of a good size and the food was hot, tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. What more could you ask for? Service was good too.

We called here on a Monday lunchtime and were very pleased to find it open as a lot of pubs seem closed on Mondays. It was quiet but had a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere. I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans and it was fine as was the other meal we had. Service was very friendly and we would return here.

Things started off so well yesterday. Friendly staff and the room was comfortable and clean. I would have liked to have given this accommodation a high rating but we paid for a breakfast we did not get. We were told it would be ready at 9.00am but when we came down via the external door, the pub was locked and by 9.30am no one turned up so we had to leave, and it made it a very expensive night’s accommodation. I could not recommend Shepherds Rest - very expensive for bed but no breakfast. Be warned.

Although there was no Vegan options on the menu they were able to offer a soup and a nice roast dinner for me. Nothing was too much bother for them.

Polite and wonderful service would fully recommend to anyone who wants a lovely night with a well kept hotel and friendly staff

Nice enough pub in the Northumberland area, good for if you've been walking in the area. Nice ale, decent food, good friendly staff behind the bar.

We received a warm welcome. The site (for camper vans) is slightly sloping, with the usual facilities including a shower. Both toilet and shower were spotless.We had a pleasant meal on arrival.The site's within walking distance of Alnwick Castle and gardens. We'd certainly stay here again.

We stayed on the campsite with our motorhome, and stayed an extra night because it was so well situated, with all the facilities we needed, IT WAS CLEAN and the people were friendly and helpful. We also ate in the pub one night, which was great - not fancy, but good well cooked pub food. We will go back for sure.

great little site behind the shepherds rest with nice toilet and shower.....good value for money....visited the pub which was so friendly...both locals and staff.....nibbles on the bar and banter in the pub...booked in for a breakfast before we left the next morning....it was really good and great value and brilliant service...thanks claire...would stay again for sure if in the area

Food was great good quality,be warned big portions,prices were very good,staff very friendly and helpful

We stopped here for a late lunch early tea....and we were not disappointed. The Sunday roast was everything you could expect....and the puddings are to die for !!! Great cheery service too !!!!

After trawling round Alnwick trying to find somewhere with space we found this place. The food was good and service exceptional. They couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. We managed to book just before 8 and also got desserts even though it was after serving hours !!

Tuvimos el tiempo más terrible. Las mujeres en cargos no estábamos seguros de lo que estaba ocurriendo. Los clientes mismos ayudando detrás de la barra. La cama doble era en realidad dos camas individuales de diferentes alturas y longitudes simplemente juntas.

stayed a couple of nights excellent home made cooked meals and a quality breakfast nice and quiet and within walking distance of town.

Fuimos a los pastores por recomendación de amigos, llevé a los niños a lo largo de demasiado. Ambiente amigable y personal siempre cortés y servicial.

Popped in for a few drinks with a couple of friends, beer selection was really good with local cask ales & local gins/ rum, food from kitchen smelled really good and looked so appetising- after a few torturous smells and meals, finally succumbed to the pressure & had the scotch eggs - absolutely amazing food and is highly recommended. Chef apparently quite new but an amazing acquisition.

No tenía sitio reservado con camper y tropezamos con el resto pastores en el camino a Alnwick.

We had the most delicious lunch at the s hepards rest , the staff were lovely as well as the land lady and landlord, we were very happy with the food it was outstanding , Would strongly recommend it, caters for families also very impressive.

Paramos para comer el domingo. Muy tranquilo. La cena de carne asada ordenados. Gran parte, pero, desgraciadamente, la cantidad no compensa la calidad. La carne era de hecho bueno, y las verduras estaban perfectamente cocinado, que sin embargo es donde termina la feliz. Había algo de patatas y puré de patatas, que eran sólo se distingue por su color. Ambos eran glutinous, ofrendas sin sabor. El budín de Yorkshire, aunque enorme, estaba completamente quemada, y nunca debería haber dejado la cocina! (Ver adjunto fotografía de mi las sobras). No nos preguntaron si disfrutamos de la comida al final, de lo contrario me hubiera sido educado, pero honesto. No se molesta en venir de nuevo.

Ate here whilst staying on caravan site. First time was ok, second time not as good, third and definitely the final time very mediocre. Rustic chips, substituted with frozen chips, previously they had been home-made. Veg not as stated on menu,steak and ale pie glutinous, child's nuggets battered to oblivion and oozing fat.Not a pleasant experience.

A great Sunday lunch with my parents, who are in their 70's that don't like big portions but asked for half portions no problem, they still left some but not meat.Meat was really tender and moist,veg cooked not soggy,yorkshire pudding lovely.

Lovely lunch well cooked had pot wit mashed potatoes roast potatoes turnip carrots green beans an Broccoli Yorkshire pudding excellent

Great service we were the only people in but it was 5 to 4.The late lunch was nice and hot veg was crisp to the bite not hard or soggy. Over all a nice lunch.

I popped in with my wife for a light lunch and shandy. The pub is warm and friendly, allows dogs and has a nice atmosphere. The staff are very good but the food was average. We ordered tuna sandwiches and chips. The food potion was small, I would have liked something a little more filling. Will go back to try a dinner sometime as liked the pub.

We stopped here for Sunday lunch after seeing they advertised doing a Sunday carvery, we hadn't booked so thought we'd chance our luck & pop in. I asked the gentleman at the bar if he had a table with a high chair available, he seated us at a little table in the corner by the fire, then went off to get a high chair. He obviously got distracted along the way, so my partner went to retrieve the booster he had found for us after 5 minutes of waiting. The clips were broken, but we made do. The man behind the bar (I think he was called Andy) had said he'd bring some menus over at his first opportunity. After around 10 minutes he came across to take our order- we still hadn't had a menu, but already knew we wanted the carvery we'd seen advertised. He asked us which meat we would like, said it wouldn't be long and disappeared. After a short wait, a polite waitress brought us 2 Sunday Lunches (definitely not a carvery then) The food was nice & there was plenty of it, the veg was fresh & piping hot- but definitely not a carvery. The bill after 1 course & a drink each was around £25. It just seemed that they could have used an extra pair of hands, and we would have quite liked a look at the menu!Overall okay, but the service let it down a bit.

Lovely local pub, never really horrendously busy. We went one sunday and they had stopped serving sunday lunch as we were too late and i think the place was shut to be honest and the lovely lady behind the bar went and put us a sunday dinner up each, I was so shocked but she was great and the food was fab!

My first time at this pub. I found it very cosy and welcoming with real fire burning on a snowy night! Our Christmas lunch was very good value. Prawns to start. Traditional turkey with vegetables and potatoes and Christmas pud. Would definitely return - maybe for Sunday lunch.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch have been here a few Sundays never been disappointed thank you and friendly atmosphere

Sunday lunch today was excellent - freshly cooked food,well presented by a friendly young waiter. The portions were generous ( I had lamb and my wife had turkey) and it was as good as it gets. I followed with apple crumble and custard enough to feed two. Well done - we will certainly return.

Well ! I have to say I was rather disappointed, I had read old reviews on line and also the new ones, and it seemed that it was all good, checked the times for meals on a Sunday, 12 pm till 5pm, so with the thought of having a Sunday off from cooking, we set off. It is from the outside a thousand times better, in side, the bar is still very dated, which is a shame, as the new owners had obviously started off with great intentions on a revamp, we were given the choice to sit were we wanted so we elected to sit in the Conservatory, we regretted this choice, as it was very cold and it was 3.45 pm and the light was fading and there was no lights turned on, only when a group of other folk came in was the lights turned on, we had asked on arrival in the Sunday Carvery was still available"Yes" was the reply, so we were left seated for twenty minutes before we could go and get our food! not sure why! any way this was were the disappointment really lay... the selection was very and I mean very limited! there was chicken, beef or Lamb! as there was very little left of the last two we had chicken myself my husband and of course our young son, when it came to veg choice it got worse we had some very hard, lightly sprinkled cauliflower cheese! next very soggy cabbage which I chose to skip! then out of season, for this time of year! New potatoes, and some very hard Yorkshire puddings then gravy which was not of great taste! So my son who did not want any of the veg but, loves Yorkshires and Mash ( there was no creamed potatoes ) was standing with a very empty plate, the staff were lovely at all times, and they did take some of the new potatoes and mash them down, but as some one that has cooked meals for a huge family for the past twenty five years I knew that was not going to work well, but they were so nice the staff, I did not want to say that to them! any way we sat down to eat, and I could not cut my chicken, as it had obviously been under the heat from the carvery so long it had become like rubber, as my husband was so hungry he tackled it and won, my young son on the other hand left everything, but did manage to eat some of the chicken and a little of the Yorkshire Pud and some of the potato, we were very hungry on leaving and Yes I ended up cooking something quick for them once home :( . so much for a day off! anyway, what I will say is this they need to give more choice of veg and make sure there is something for everyone! also don't roast new potatoes, this was also a let down, am sure the food at the begging of the service at 12 pm was on top form! but by 4 pm it was looking very sad, and if you advertise that food is on till 5 pm then it should still be looking good and tasty at 4pm! if you see what I mean. the only positive thing to say, is the staff were very nice and am sure there will be plenty of reasons for the slowness of us getting our food ( by the way the place was dead it was just us at that point) and am sure it is, too most tastes, but if like us, you think of a roast with veg, good puds and spuds, then I have to say this will not be up too scratch.. we wont go back due to the quality of the food on that Sunday... sorry guys!.....

We came in on Wednesday the 30th of September and had 2 roast lamb dinners the chef apologised as he was busy cooking fresh veg and yorkshires but it was certainly worth the wait cauliflower cheese carrots and broccoli with roast potatoes and gravy. Wthe lamb was so tender and well cooked we will defiantly be back.

Stayed at B&B next door, dropped in for late lunch. Very good food...didn't need an evening meal after the lunch. Very good, friendly service. Great ale.

We had a family party here before a wedding. The room fitted our party of 21 just right. The food was home cooked and good quality. The staff were great. This venue fitted exactly what we wanted an informal family get together with food and helpful staff.

We stopped in for dinner on a Sunday evening after a day of sight-seeing in Alnwick. We noticed the sign advertising Sunday Roast on our way into town earlier in the day. The building looked attractive from the street but it did not hold a lot of appeal once we stepped inside. The kitchen had closed by the time we arrived (around 18:00) but the proprietor checked with the cook and they were able to accommodate us and serve us a roast gammon dinner. The food was very good - roast gammon (ham, as we would call it in Canada), Yorkshire pudding with gravy, roast potatoes and steamed broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage and bolied new potatoes. All was very tasty and the portion size was generous. The meal exceeded my expectations. I understand the property has new owners so I hope they are able to improve the appeal of the interior of the pub. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. All-in-all, a positive experience.

We called at the Shepherd's Rest on the off chance, as we were travelling through, to see if they served breakfast. We were warmly welcomed in by a member of staff who took it upon herself to make sure we were looked after. They especially cooked us a full breakfast, offered juice and a pot of tea .... all of which was well presented and delicious. A big thank you to the staff for their warm welcome and service.

The food was just about ok, plenty of prawns in the prawn cocktail but the poached egg with asparagus came with cabbage instead! I can only assume they ran out of asparagus. However the rest of the meals were plentiful and served by very pleasant staff. Drinks were decent and overall a good price for the party of 6. Children's sausages were not good quality, room for improvement there. We were staying at the campsite which is a whole different ball game, vast improvements needed on site!

this was our visit since new owners took over. We showed to our seat by a friendly girl , in the conservatory. The menu was varied and had a good mixture of dishes . I chose the steak and misses went for the curry , first plus point was the fact we had to wait for the food to be cooked from fresh ( no microwave and on the table in 2minutes here)We were not disappointed curry was served with wild rice and was very tasty my steak was cooked perfectly , deserts followed homemade cheese cake and homemade apple crumble again both were very good . We will be back ,to try Sunday lunch .

Fabulous food, lovely friendly staff, warm atmosphere. Great Sunday lunch, highly recommended. Lots of parking.

We are new owners of a lovely little pub and Caravem site a lot of work has been done and work on going we try our best to keep every thing clean tidy and up to date with the policy's re camping and caravan club and hope if anyone has a problem they would come and report it we are very approachable and lick the feed back from all our campers thank you Susan and buzz Great pub come and try

Read the terrible review from Aug 2013 knew they were new owners so trusted things would have improved. Sadly not! Drove onto to our pitch and were horrified to realise we had driven over an old bonfire site. We picked up 5 handfuls of nails, screws, tacks etc. Luckily we didn't have a puncture! The toilet shed was just as despicable with loose tiles on the floor, loose tap and no signs of any cleaning done during our stay. Couldn't faces the shower shed! We had to walk past the pub's rubbish bins to reach our site, they were overflowing with joints of meat on the road way. Avoid unless you are very brave!!

I and three colleagues visited the Shepheards rest last night. We had pre-booked a table, although this is not essential. The owner greeted us as we entered and after taking our drink order gave us a choice of sitting in the bar area or the conservatory for our meal. We chose the conservatory and were given our menu, offering a special which consisted of two courses for two people for £20. After queries about dishes on the menu the owner spoke to the chef, who took the time to come to our table and discuss the menu (adding a personal touch). Our food was cooked from scratch and was beautiful. At two people for £20 this was very good value for money. After our meal we moved to sit in the bar area, where some customers were having an acoustic music night. Although the music wasn't to our taste it was very pleasant background music and added to the atmosphere. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The food was lovely and good value for money. Add this to the overall friendly, cosy welcoming atmosphere it is well worth a visit.

Small site for up to 5 units.Very basic facilities. Overpriced at £22:50/night.Only good for visiting the castle and gardens, otherwise would not recommend.

If your looking for a traditional pub that sells homely food , you can not go past the Shepherds Rest Alnwick !! the new owners have breathed new life into what was a sad old pub, Entertainment week days and weekend is great and theSunday lunch is to die for !!!a new beer garden at the rear is great for them nice summer nights !!!! a must to visit if your in Alnwick Northunberland.

Thought we'd try this place as it's under new management and the sign outside said Sunday Carvery - but there wasn't one! A limited menu of Sunday lunch + fish and chips etc but nothing exciting. My roast chicken was fine, the Yorkshire pud huge and veg came in a hot dish but had probably been sitting in the dish for some time ....Clearly a popular place with several tables reserved. But in dire need of some TLC and atmosphere.Best point were the helpful young staff.Can't say I'll be returning nor recommending it. Sorry guys.

Struggling to think of somewhere for lunch on the Bank Holiday and remembered about the Sheperds Rest in Alnwick,are we glad we went.Had the Carvery it was fab good old fashioned food fresh veg,and the choice of meats were all cooked to perfection.We will definitely be returning before Bob leaves for pastures new.

Toilet shed and shower both smelly, no hot water in toilet sink, no sink in shower, and nowhere to wash cutlery and crockery. And shower held together with tape/ I had to find the parts and fix shower door (I kid you not!) before a successful shower. Bob's comment? "what do you need to wash your hair for, you're only here 2 nights" Pitches are lovely and full of birdsong. But overpriced for the facilities - and would be a lot less pleasant if the weather was anything less than sunny

I have visited here a few times and last Sunday took another 3 families with me as it's so nice. We all had the carvery and it was cooked to perfection. All fresh veg and a choice if meats as well as mince and dumplings. The portions are very generous too. There was not 1 complaint from anybody and there were 11 of us. We certainly didn't have rock hard Yorkshires! Bob the owner is very friendly so to read overbearing from another review I find quite sad. I wouldn't hesitate to drive up from newcastle for the lovely food and hospitality and have and will keep recommending this to friends.

Sunday lunch....Transported back to the 80's!Service was fast. Maybe because it was very quiet. ..much to owners apparent surprise. Meat was tasty if a little overcooked.Lovely stuffingYorkshire puddings were awful. So hard I was in fear of my teeth!Veg average but poorly presented. Pudding (inc in price) choice of banana split, , cheesecake, gateau or fruit. All good sizes but lacked originality. 2 people 2 drinks and 2 courses.... £26.00... was ok but nothing special. Also do not accept cards...not made clear when we walked in so emergency cash point run required. Not the best but ok.

We visited the pub today for Sunday lunch. Meat tough,Yorkshire puddings that you could play cricket with,roast potatoes that I am sure we're cooked during the week and had been kept warm until Sunday,over boiled veg, and the ultimate, lumpy,slimed gravy. It was awful save your money,it did include a pudding but we could not find it in us to stay and partake.

please do not enter this campsite ,, !! it should carry a health warning !!!!!!! This has to be the worst campsite in the country and ive stayed on a lot ,, we only stayed as it was a last resort looking for somewhere ,, we were charged £20 per night with a minimum stay of 2 nights ,, the toilet was in a shed with dirty loose tiles and a stinking red towel that was wet when we got there on Saturday and was still in it when we left this morning ,, the shower was in another shed with no sink ,, you had to clean your teeth in the sink in the toilet shed ,, there are no dish washing facilities ,, this man who went by the name of bob should be disgusted with himself running such a shambles,, we had to pay him upfront and he only excepts cash with no receipt given ,, straight in the hip pocket ,,, no tax being paid by old bobby boy ,,, I will be contacting the caravan club to see why the hell they let him run it as one of there sites ,,, as for the restaurant there was no way in hell I would have ate or drank in it ,, simon d has described it to a T !!! I can only think ronniesgirl1982 and carl F are related to bob or else his best mates ,,, please people do not go to this site under any circumstance ,, sleep in the car first !

Myself and my Husband visit this place regularly for a their sunday carvery and we've never been disappointed. The owner Bob is very down to earth but don't expect any airs and graces as he is just a top bloke. He offeres a great range of home cooked meats and veg and desserts and for less than a tenner what more can you want? There are also some lovely areas to walk off your huge sunday lunch with some great views.

me and my wife too be went for our sunday carvery and it was the best we've had in a long time. everything cooked to perfection. not the first time and deffanatly wont be the last. £10 see you get a full carvery with 3 meats Always on offer and a choice of 4-5 Homemade sweets both the owner Bob and his wife were very friendly. all in all the best eatery in Alnwick full stop.

Me and my wife ate at this "seemingly" lovely country pub at the edge of one of Britains loveliest towns. Upon arrival however, our illusion was shattered, as when we entered, there was a very distinctive smell to the place that can only be familiarised as urine. Usually, this would have provoked me to leave immediately, but being cold and hungry, we decided to stay. Unfortunately our problems were only just beginning, in a nightmare that involved lukewarm, tough food, and an extremely rude and overbearing landlord. needless to say, we will not be visiting again.
