We are always made to feel very welcome and our dog LOVES it here. It’s so nice and cosy to the point it’s sometimes hard to leave (especially when the lovely fire is on). Old school jukebox and the sociable seating layout is such a lovely touch. We recommend this pub to everyone who comes to Alnwick!” | Tripadvisor

We didn’t stay for food but the specials board showed some lovely sounding options.” | Tripadvisor
