What a fantastic little pub! Most excellent choice of ales and cider (recommend the Monument). Early evening pop in for pint. No food here, only crisps and nuts. The decoration of the single seating area is wonderful. The seating comfortable . Plenty of regulars in as well as holidaymakers. Don't go to Alnwick without calling in!

A friendly welcome to a proper pub from the landlord set the tone for our visit yesterday. A great selection of beers well kept and it was difficult to choose which to go for but all was not lost as we had two flights….just perfect. A nice selection of people also enjoying the beers and some good interesting banter. A little gem!

The best pub in Northumberland for beer!!! The landlord is friendly and welcoming and keen to share information about his beers, all of which come from local breweries. There is always a good selection of ales and ciders, plus the usual selection of other drinks. It doesn't serve food (just the usual bar snacks), and is only tiny inside, with tables around the edge and a beautiful tree in the middle! It is also really dog friendly (we didn't have our dog with us this time, but plenty did come in and were rewarded with a biscuit or two!). Ale flights are available - three sample 1/3 pints, so that you can try smaller portions of three different beers. My husband loved this (and loved all three beers!). It is definitely worth a visit if you like beer and cider, and want to try a real gem of a pub!
