The Plough

We visited The Plough recently and just wanted to say how impressed we were with the management and team. Even though the chef was unwell and unavailable, the manager went above and beyond to make sure meals were still served and that guests were looked after. It was clear he was doing everything possible to keep things running smoothly, and the effort really showed. A great example of commitment and care for customers, well done to all the staff for pulling together!

Cracking little pub right in the centre of Alnwick. Staff were spot on, really friendly and welcoming. Food was tasty, good portions and decent value for money. Nice atmosphere too, will definitely pop back in next time we’re up this way. xx

We were really impressed with how Laurie, the manager, and staff looked after everyone during our visit. Had a fantastic meal at The Plough. Big portions, tasty food, and very reasonably priced. Lovely pub! Great find in the centre of town!

We’re to start!!! Parked in the car park round the back. No clear way to the reception. Staff failed to was an issue with the kitchen and no food that evening. Once shown to our room the staff only told one of the couples the doors to downstairs would be locked at 11pm at night. But the staff regularly closed the door early!! The only way to each floor was by the fire escapes that were permanently left open and unlock. So anyone could walk into the place. Rooms are very basic and need some attention. Very unloved and very much an after thought. We went to book a table for our evening meal we found at the kitchen wasn’t opening till 6.30pm. So booked for 6.30pm but instead the waitress booked us in for 7pm. We ordered our food to be told 10 mins later they couldn’t do once of the starts 2 people had ordered. It take 2hr in a very quiet restaurant to have two course!! Then we weren’t given an option to have any pudding as the staff wanted to close. No apologies are offered of complimenty drinks for the delay in food are with the fact we only got part of the meal. The food was nice.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere, and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Had the steak and ale pie which was spot on, proper comfort food. Prices were fair too. Would happily come back again.

Stopped by The Plough while visiting Alnwick and so glad we did! The staff were warm and welcoming, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt really relaxed. Great spot for families and dog-friendly too, highly recommend.”

Eight Ladies who Lunch. Our first visit to the Plough in Alnwick. Excellent varied menu. Plus a small lunch with a drink followed by a coffee with a small sweet. Ideal for us older ladies. Fantastic service from all the staff, especially Reece, who made our visit extra special. Not easy keeping eight old ladies happy!! Warning we will be back!!

I just moved to the area and popped in for a drink a few days ago. I was so impressed by how friendly the staff were that I had to bring my family back tonight! The steak and ale pie was absolutely delicious, and Lily and Keiron—two of the young staff members—were incredibly helpful and kind. They made our visit special and were such a credit to the team. They even treated our dog, Stan, with water, a burger, and some treats. What a fantastic experience!
