TV presenter Ben Fogle makes lunch stop at Alnwick pub

Best known for his TV roles with Channel 5, BBC and ITV, Ben was spotted in Alnwick at The Plough on March 5 where he tried their coffee and new falafel wrap – reporting that the food and service was ‘spot on’.

The broadcaster and best-selling author has spent time in Northumberland in the past, during the filming of an episode of Channel 5 series, Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild.

In the programme, Ben meets people who have chosen to give up the ways of western civilisation and embrace the wild. A couple who live near Chatton, were chosen to take part in 2022 because of their off-grid and environmentally sensitive approach to life.
