  “We booked this for an evening meal last minute after the Market Tavern let us down announcing they had no reservation for us. The Plough was clean and tidy but on the day we visited it predominantly had a Tex Mex smoked grill menu . Their bar menu was not operating- I asked the waitress who confirmed so the alternative choice was curry, cottage pie,chilli. I had the cottage pie which was excellent but the Mrs had a veggie burger from the Tex Mex menu which was tepid on arrival at the table- she didn't eat it, just the accompaniments. The staff were lovely and attentive, the decor and surroundings of the bar area were fine. Would we go back, unlikely if they are trying to constantly force the tex menu on you, and which some dishes were expensive. While I appreciate mistakes happen but a check on the temperature of the food- not the plates should be a basic, yes we could have complained but any place we visit gets one chance. If it fails we take our money elsewhere. I noted 2 other groups who were discussing the lack of choice - they all had one of the alternatives, not the TM menu.”

  “Not lived in Alnwick long and it’s took a little while to try out The Plough. From the moment we stepped in the door the service was exceptional. Staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. They looked after both ourselves and our dog and checked throughout our meal that we had everything we needed. We went on the Smokehouse evening and had the platter to share. The meal was superb, great selection of meats and accompaniments that were beautifully cooked and presented. Couldn’t finish it all but we were given boxes to take our leftovers home. The restaurant was very welcoming, the tables were clean and nicely laid out and we enjoyed the country music to add to the Smokehouse theme. Overall excellent experience, please pass on our gratitude to the excellent front of house staff and chef. We’ll be back”

  “Had a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Plough. The smokehouse twist on a traditional Sunday roast was absolutely delicious, and the pork was stunning! The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and the service was great. Dan looked after us brilliantly and made sure everything was spot on. We had a lovely afternoon and will definitely be back.”

  “Popped in here for a drink last Thursday night around 2100. Place was deserted, no atmosphere at all (just 4 people at one table), hardly any of the taps on the bar appeared to be on (glasses on top of all but a couple), no staff in sight at all despite us looking/hanging around. Gave up and headed back to the Tanners (which is excellent btw). Disappointing overall.”
