The best restaurants serving British food in Alnwick Northumberland North East

I was recommended the Bari Tea Brewery by a friend and was not disappointed. The range of teas on offer was vast with many interesting flavours! I had the green ginger tea with a scone which was freshly baked and was very tasty! Service was very good and all the staff very friendly.

Seriously tasty fish and chips. Both cod and haddock were of a generous size, beautifully flaky and white, and with crisp but not overly greasy batter. Chips were spot on too.

Came to try the restaurant. Upon arrival at 7pm the place was empty with only one customer. We asked if they had tables available for two. They said no and that were extremely busy and wouldn’t take walk ins due to demand of the restaurant. I looked around a bit confused due to emptiness. I asked is it possible to be seated before any book ins came as we would only be quick. They said no and that they had no bookings. Me and my partner were left feeling confused and disappointed. The staff just stared at us till we left. They lost out on custom and service that night. How disappointing. I would have understood if busy.

We popped in for a coffee & something sweet. The cafe is dog friendly, in a separate area, which is good as not everyone likes dogs. The staff were lovely, polite & attentive. We only had a cup of tea & a tea cake but both were good. The tables had a selection of card games, which we thought was a lovely idea. We came home & bought one of the games for a Christmas gift. We will pop in again next time we are in Alnwick & try something from their menu.

Lovely cafe, Friendly staff and great service. Had two full english breakfasts cooked beautifully and kept us full up all day. Good value as well

We had lunch after a highly enjoyable walk round the gardens, and what a pleasure it was. Everything we had was beautifully served and of the highest quality. We were blown away with the service and food quality and all at such competitive prices. We would highly recommend.

Well let's start with staff character and interaction shall we !Basically non- existent with robotic and non facial interaction.Noticeable that staff dislike looking at customers either when ordering or giving bought goods.Not a nice place for a cuppa tbh 😡

Lovely selection of cheese but unfortunately let down by an older member of staff touching the cheese without gloves then touching money with the same hand and so on, not hygienic at all and very off-putting.

Menu looked good but the welcome wasn’t, didn’t stay carried on down the road to the Dirty Bottles where staff were more welcoming and accommodating

Super service. Relaxed atmosphere. Watch out for the steps tho.

What an amazing few days we had in alnwick first port off call was always the plough drink and food were brill.

Popped in for lunch on a day over to Lindisfarne. Despite advertising that they cater for gluten free, a disappointing menu. When I asked at the bar if they do anything gluten free, the barman said that anything gluten free will have GF after it on menu, but they can do any sandwich with gluten free bread. There were no meals suitable on menu, so I went back to bar and asked if their spread was dairy free. Barmaid gives a big sigh and goes to check. Comes back to say yes it is, what do you want- like it was a big inconvenience for her. It’s not my husbands fault that he has allergies. Such attitude makes me wonder how anyone goes back here. Sarnie was ok but they didnt seem to do it separate to normal food as hubby found a bit of grated cheese attached to his bread. If he hadn’t spotted it, he would have been I’ll. overpriced too as the bread was just normal sliced bread. WONT BE GOING BACK!

Took so long for food to arrive, only ordered toastie and jacket potatoe, wasn't even that busy, so can't understand why we waited so long. Due to the wait we stunk of kitchen grease with been in there so long. We had previously been to this cafe about a year ago and expereiend slow service then so must be a common issue. It advise to give this place a miss unless you are just after a drink.

Lovely little cafe, we wandered in while have a look round Alnwick. Very friendly staff, quick service and nice food...

The lunch I had was an unmitigated disaster. The so-called "new décor" was the only thing that had been refreshed—indeed, not the menu or the staff, both of which needed replacement. The day's pie was an abomination, barely edible and undoubtedly the worst I've ever encountered. My wife's club sandwich was nothing short of an insult: cheap, stale brown bread, dry, flavourless chicken, and a sad, limp slice of onion that we discarded without hesitation. Her chips side dish were an absolute disgrace—so overcooked and lifeless that they were only remotely edible after being drowned in malt vinegar. When I politely inquired about the shockingly poor quality of the food, the staff half-heartedly apologized and offered no willingness to address the issue. Instead, they had the sheer audacity to demand a full payment and a gratuity fee—an outrageous request considering the atrocious service and inedible meal. When we refused to pay extra gratuity, they reacted as if we had personally insulted them. I was raised to eat what was served, but this? This was beyond unacceptable. **Spare yourself the regret and avoid this place like the plague!**
