“great food, the veggie burger (fake beef) was very nice. good portions. the menu online seems to be outdated as they primarily serve burgers now.”

“Menu was completley different to what was advertised online. We paid £50 for two horrible burgers with extra skinny frozen chips with a side and drinks. The bbq sauce tasted of nothing but vinager.”

“We booked a table based on the online menu. When we walked in there was sport playing loud throughout the pub and the menu had devolved into a burger joint. Someone also thought it wasa good idea to change the name to the hairy lemon. Honestly, don't bother. We walked straight out again.”

“We came here on quite a quiet day to play darts and have a quick bite to eat. The burgers were delicious and the guinness was fab. I love the whole idea of the menu and the stacked burgers/loaded fries etc. Definitely something a little bit cool for alnwick to have and obviously delicious. Staff were friendly. Pub is large so plenty of space although I imagine it can get busy in tourist season! Fab pub and we will be back”
