The Treehouse Restaurant in Northumberland

The Treehouse is an unique experience. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. The staff were so friendly and efficient. The food unfortunately was just okay (not bad, but not great). Compared to other Sunday Roasts, these are definitely smaller portions as well. I'm glad I experienced this lovely location, but wouldn't return for a meal anytime soon.

The building, the decor, and the atmosphere really are magical, it's such a gorgeous place to eat! On top of that the food was fantastic. We had the Sunday roast which was delicious, the portions were really generous, and very reasonably priced too. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Lovely setting! Food was ordinary at best. The scallops starter felt like badly prepared frozen. It had a slight unpleasant tang to it. Unfortunately the plate was also unclean and had to be left. Service was terrible, took over an hour for starters to arrive and then more than an hour for main courses. No explanation, no apology. We didn't stay for dessert as we'd run out of time before park closing. Overall really disappointed.

The quirky decor makes the place look like it comes out from a children's storybook. Interesting decor aside, the food was tasty and the service friendly. It made for a very pleasant and unforgettable dining experience.

A special place with delicious food.

Fantastic food and ambience. Not too busy and a excellent meal.

Great venue, pork belly was tough

Fabulous meal in stunning surroundings with atmosphere to match.

Very nice setting, very small choice of food and very small size portion. Overall very disappointing from the experience and food we had last year here. Won't return now and wish last year's experience was the only one we had...

Quite the experience, a must do if you're visiting the gardens.

Unusual place for lunch, really friendly helpful staff, good selection on menu

Without a doubt one of my favourite places! The place is just absolutely beautiful and the food definitely does not disappoint!

Something different and with good food

This is a must visit for a special meal in a special venue if you are in northumberland, i would recommend visiting at night to take in the atmosphere of the whole place being lit up !!. The food is amazing with something for even a fussy eater which i am and the staff are amazing too. With the restaurant decked out with natural wood tables and chairs with a log burner to provide a nice warm place to eat. The potting shed bar is also a nice exterior area to drink in the warmer weather too if your in the summer months.

Sunday lunch cold and underwhelming. Service was fine.

Went for dinner for a friend's special birthday. Vegetarian antipasti sharing platter was a bit odd, big bowl of antipasti veg but no crackers or bread to put it on, focaccia would have been nice? Cheese souffle was v nice. But vegetarian main of veg Wellington was dumped on top of badly cooked green cabbage which was supposedly a fricasse of vegetables! Wellington was fine but veg inside were squishy and overcooked. Such a shame as the venue is cool but they definitely missed the mark on the food as far as the vegetarians were concerned 😕

For the most part the food was excellent although I felt the chips had a funny texture, can’t put my finger on why but they were. Cheese fondue to share as a starter was lovely. Blossom tree desert was very nice but also very rich - be warned. Service was excellent. A lovely place to be but the more I looked the more dust and cobwebs I noticed.

We last visited this place 23 years so took our grown up children back and we left completely disappointed. My husband and son had fish and chips, our daughter is a vegan she had the pasta dish peas!! It seemed the same bland peas were the mushy peas with the fish and chips. To add to this the chip were stale and refried. I had the chicken dish served with a side of mash completely dry. Add injury to insult Bailey cheese cake was a pile of stodgy. We did express our disappointment, but completely ignored, worst £151 spent!! Won’t be ever visiting again!!

I had the burger it was pretty average and we had the chicken pesto which was not bad really nice ambience but the food and service was just ok

A quirky relaxing evening lovely food friendly service

Brilliant serve from staff who are attentive kind and hard working. Beautiful atmosphere I loved the tree house

Absolutely stunning setting, great food, excellent cokctails, and friendly staff who couldn't be happier to help.

Firstly, a massive thank you to all of the staff. Before we even arrived, they made accommodations to host us which was greatly appreciated, so thank you, it made for a wonderful surprise for my partner. Upon arrival, what a stunning concept for a restaurant this is! The settings, views and restaurant itself were wonderful and had a lot of charm about the place. The staff were also a delight; very accommodating and friendly, engaging in pleasant conversation and turning service into an experience. The food was quite nice. I had the Treehouse Burger which was with a wonderful tomato chutney, fresh coleslaw and thick cut chips, all of which tasted nicely. My partner had the Haddock and Chips which I wish I went for myself, as the haddock was extremely light, fresh, well battered and just sublime overall. A very nice setting, good food and excellent service. Ideal for couples of families, a place anyone ought to visit if they're going to the Alnwick Gardens also.

A visit to Alnwick isn't complete without a meal at the Treehouse

Expensive but a lovely experience to eat in the treehouse. A magical experience. Highly recommend the cherry tree blossom dessert to share.

Very well appointed. Service mostly good. Seats uncomfy. Food just missed it but tasty.

Fantastic atmosphere, super garlic mushrooms on toast. Nice service

Came here for my birthday, had a lovely experience, the restaurant it self is lovely, the staff were great. We had the cheese fondue to start with which we both really enjoyed. I had the duck which was very nice, I was told the lamb was cooked perfectly. For the dessert on the other hand I struggled to choose so ended up with two, the baileys cheesecake which was delicious and the cherry tree blossom which looked amazing and tasted amazing. It was a lovely visit that we will be repeating again soon 😊

This was an amazing setting in the trees with a beautiful view of Alnick castle. The food was delicious, we had Sunday lunch which had all the trimmings. We had to have cocktails and the Old Fashioned was delightful. It’s a treat to come here and we will be back soon for dinner, but the Sunday lunch was amazing. The staff were just as great, attentive and polite, offered opinions on the best dish and their choices were spot on.

Had a superb family time meal for 4 earlier from the lunchtime menu. We had the Aberdeen Angus burgers and they were spot on. Friendly staff and amenities all well kept

This place is magical, definitely worth a visit. But book early as its not always easy to get in. My starter was perfect as was my sweet but I felt the pork main could have been better. However the service was very good and the place is a one off so worth every penny. Prices are not silly either so all in all a 5 star experience.

Long journey looking forward to great atmosphere and food - food was really awful and disappointing - the write up about chefs and local produce needs to be revised. To be fair to the staff they did not charge us the whole bill - but the let down to my family was immense unfortunately.

Fun location but the interior a little dark and dusty. The food was good, good portions and nice veggie options. We had a lovely cheese racelette starter with different breads which was very tasty and perfect sharing starter. Our mains were vegan but didn’t lack on flavour, no space for dessert but no regrades. The service was ok but the chairs are very heavy and hard to move.

Great spot and definitely quirky. The food I got was lovely but I felt there were very few options. Good service in a great location.

With empty tables, they informed us that they were full and refused to serve us. It was a legendary coffee shop and since we only came to drink coffee, it seems like they weren't interested in us.

Beautiful place, excellent service and food.

Beautiful setting. Excellent range of plant-based options. The staff were friendly and helpful. Service was prompt.

what an amazing place to eat incredible xx

Food was good, the cherry tree desert could do with some fresh fruit. But other than that was good experince

Staff was pretty busy and it took an hour to get our food. The meal was decent but nothing great. You are definitely paying to eat in a treehouse which my kid really enjoyed.

It is what it is! A quirky fun venue but it’s dark and dingy.

Service and atmosphere were fantastic, the goats cheese tart was heavenly! Definitely recommend 👌

There was 10 of us and everyone said the food was brilliant and everyone had a great time

The treehouse is a beautiful restaurant! Absolutely fantastic! 😍

Location location location but also I was impressed with the lovely service we had and the food was great! A bit pricey but I feel it does itself justice, will be back for sure 😊

Staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We arrived without reservations, and they did not turn us away. Food was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere was magical.

Service was lovely, a decent selection of beer and wines. The food is delicious we had the Pork loin and black pudding and Chichen breast on goats curd mash. Sticky toffee pudding to follow. The tree house is an amazing building feels a bit like Christmas. Thanks to the team.

Limited lunchtime menu. Quite expensive light bites e.g few sliced mushrooms on one slice bread £8.00. However overall good experience will try again.

Amazing Restaurant,amazing food,amazing staff,100000% recommended!!!! The Restaurant is so beautiful!!!!

Beautifully presented and delicious food with friendly and attentive staff

Nice concept and building. Great service, but disappointing food. The mussels were bland and disappointing, as was the fish and chips.

Fabulous place to dine out. Food was really nice, too and there were two vegan main courses to choose from. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited this place on recommendation, booked to ensure day and time. Parking was no problem, lots of space with only a short walk to the restaurant. The building itself is very intriguing inside and out. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The food I had a total disaster. It was only fish and chips. Fish was good, on the small side, peas were edible, the chips, mostly unedible. Both ends rock hard, some you couldn't even get a fork in the centers, I struggled to eat half of them. It's an item that needs removed from the menu.

Brilliant birthday meal. Excellent staff. Excellent food. Excellent atmosphere. Will be back again when in the area.

Had a lunch here before visiting Alnwick Castle. It is said to be the largest treehouse in the world. The place is beautiful and magical. Feels straight out of a fairytale! I had the cauliflower buffalo salad and my husband the gnocchis. For the desert I tried the cherry blossom chocolate mousse which was beautiful and delicious. My husband the sticky toffee which was also amazing. The food was excellent and quantity generous. The only downside was the service. It was really slow and we waited ages to get served. So we missed a bit of our day to visit the castle unfortunately. As we come far way it was a bit frustrating. Other than that, everything was perfect!

17/05/24 A one off experience that should not be missed. The food was fantastic and staff were all friendly and helpful. A beautiful setting to make a memorable occasion special indeed. If your in the area get this ticked off a bucket list. There was no service charge but offered up a gratuity payment as in my view warranted it.

Think the restaurant atmosphere is hyped up as its really mediocre at best. Very disappounted in that. The food on the other hand is brilliant. Service is good, a little slow, but staff are friendly

Fabulous place to eat. Magical atmosphere and the food is delicious. It can be very popular, so worth booking in advance.

This unique restaurant is fantastic. A lovely ambience, friendly staff and really delicious food

It's a very unique and beautiful place and definitely worth a visit. It actually made me sad that the food was only mediocre, because I really wanted to love it! It was edible but bland and really nothing special.

Looks great from the outside but inside it was shabby and the menu was very limited and unimaginative. The food was mediocre and expensive.

I was here for my birthday meal with my family. The place is absolutely stunning and the interior is phenomenal and something everyone should see. The staff were fantastic service was great and the food was delicious. There is a great food menu drinks menu 100% recommend to anyone and everyone coming to or in and around Northumberland/alnwick to visit.

Fabulous restaurant, so different. Felt like we were in Switzerland

Fantastic atmosphere inside the treehouse. Everything inside from the chairs to the tables comes together to make a great experience. The lunchtime menu food was excellent too 👌

What a magical, mysterious place The Treehouse is. The Sunday roast was scrumptious too!

The food was very nice, although the vegetarian options were a bit limited. The service was excellent. The lighting could do with dimming to create more of an atmosphere. Overall really enjoyed the experience, would definitely recommend and go back.

A mothers day treat, great service beautiful food, couldnt of been any better.

It is an amazing place, very atmospheric. The good was delightful.

We were out and about in Alnwick for the first time since 2008. Ic and Flic were having a pint of 3 Rivers in the Fleece when they noticed a wedding party heading into Alnwick Castle. Being borderline Dark Triads they followed and gate crashed a wedding in this giant tree house. Super wedding venue. Very original. Scammed a three course meal and lots of wine. Apologies to Bride n Groom. Lots of wood and a lovely fire..a worry when these two are about. Burn Baby Burn being their favourite 70's hit by little known group Ash. Both Ic n Flic loved the wedding. Ray Peterson says " Tell Laura I love her." Boom boom boom boom! Great time. Sorry Matthew.

Gorgeous restaurant! This was probably the most beautiful restaurant I have visited. The decor was just so beautiful and I felt like I was in a fantasy land. Food was ok, we had Sunday lunch and although it was nice it was not amazing. Yorkshire puddings were a little sad. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and there was an accessible toilet however trying to get a wheelchair into it was a struggle as it was behind another door which was difficult to navigate.

Beautiful venue, good service and tasty food

Beautiful surroundings, wonderful setting. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Definitely going again.

Went here earlier, the food was nice if unexciting, service alright price fair, but what it lacks is atmosphere. Yes there's lots of wood about but it's not particularly exciting. It feels very much like being in a more expensive Harvester, except without a free salad.

Had a lovely lunch at the treehouse, plus a couple of hours in the gardens, to finish our week in Alnwick. Food was great and such a great setting.

It is one of the best places I have been to for a meal. It's extremely romantic and not only the surroundings are amazing but the food is extremely tasty, good portions, the staff are friendly and accomodating and well worth a visit. It is well priced and very nice for a special occasion. Best of all, it is accessible, and staff will help to make sure you are comfortable. I will be revisiting as I absolutely loved it.

Magical experience and a steak that melts in your mouth

we visited tree house free of charge and enjoyed walk over rope bridge. There is a nursery which is free as well. Disappointed about Poison garden entry fee and Castle entry fee.

Called in November with my family. First impressions seemed nice, the atmosphere and lighting are all very good. But when it came to sitting at a table, we were seated at a table shaped like a rectangular parallelogram. One half benched seats with no back apart from some spiky twigs, only 3 cushions, and the other side had the most uncomfortable chairs, they were shallow in depth and offered literally no back support. Having had back surgery 10 years ago, I do not lie, and I don't exaggerate when I say they are the worst chairs I have ever sat on (please look at the pictures on Google, they look medieval.) The starter was pork belly, which was delicious. But the main was duck, which was dry and fatty and had no sauce, and the dessert was vegan tiramisu, which was sloppy and tastless. I'd not go back, and I would not recommend to anyone I like. And yes, I would have up and left but there are sacrifices we make to see our family and with nowhere else to go I was stuck. P.S. my wife's gravy was saltier than the Northumberland sea and her veg was burnt, and when the floor outside is wet it is very slippy.

Nice setting but average food average wine average service. Much better restaurants locally to use

Magical festive treat, just beautiful.

Went with family and it was fantastic nice location .

Amazing atmosphere and amazing food. The tree dessert is too rich, I wasn't able to finish it

Nice location, fairly pricy, food was good

Had lunch at the treehouse restaurant during half-term in October 2023. Terrible experience. The service was beyond poor, more service staff than customers but none of them were interested in doing their job wandering around talking to their mates. We waited over 45 minutes for our food to arrive which was inedible and we sent it back despite being so hungry! Replacement dishes didn’t arrive until we chased them and suddenly they were ready, but had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for a long time. We had to eat it because we were so hungry. Wouldn’t go back and the family who were turned away because they didn’t have a booking got a lucky break!

Wonderful food but service was slow. Had to ask twice for two separate items and was on the verge of cancelling desserts due to the time they took to arrive at our table. However, this will not stop us from visiting again....food and surroundings are too good to miss.

This is an unusual place as it has real trees growing thro it. Great place and food was spot on . Very reasonable price. Was a slight hiccup with starters but sorted very quickly and didn't affect the meal.

Had Sunday lunch today as a birthday treat. Staff were really nice, very warm welcome and prompt service. We were shown to a lovely table great atmosphere. Ordered roast lamb dinner which was excellent meat cooked to perfection, great choice of creamed and roasted vegetables and great side dish of green vegetables. Very generous portions so didn’t have dessert. Well done to the staff we had a really enjoyable meal

Great restaurant in an atmospheric setting.

Excellent thanks for your fine food 👍

Great menu, wonderful service from all staff. Food was fresh and tasty, although my duck was a little dry. But this was rectified. Everything else was great. Garnish and sauces really added to the meal, rather than been there just to look good. Vegan starter was nice too, could appreciate it even though we're not vegan. Good selection of drinks for everyone and just a beautiful unique restaurant. Worth travelling up there for the restaurant alone.

Great Sunday lunch today at the treehouse. Beef and all the trimmings were very good, by far the best we have had in the local area. Will be back!

Absolutely beautiful inside. The meal was surprising, everything was very good. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing.

Fantastic place, food was great too

Absolutely fantastic food and ambience. Was worried after reading mixed reviews but we both loved it. New menu and both Lamb and Chicken Mains were Devine also signature dessert

A really special experience Dinner in an actual tree house At night it looked beautiful with fairy lights Staff are lovely Great food, nice selection on menu and not expensive

Amazing place in an amazing setting. Second to none in that respect but sadly, the food was a bit of a let down. I'd still without doubt go back for a few beers on a summer or autumn afternoon if staying in Alwnick.

What a magical place. The weather was awful but the warmth of the welcome we got cheered us up. Highly recommended - fab food beautifully presented

Fantastic place, you must visit

Good food and a unique setting. Lovely surrounding too.

Excellent place to eat, great food and service, specials very good price.
