The Jolly Fisherman @ The Plough, Alnwick

Absolutely terrible , Sunday evening and no choice but Sunday lunch menu?..., we decided to stay but wish we hadn’t the food wasn’t great the beef sirloin dinner was more fat than meat, hardly any gravy and the rest of it was dry and mainly broccoli and cauliflower not much else to say, run by young kids and we waited for service to order a sweet and coffee and minutes decided to leave but not a waitress waiter in sight , just awful would never go back even if the steak menu was available

Had a good meal on Saturday night. Plenty of choice on the menu. Good quality wine at a reasonable price. Good portion size. Overall very good value for money

The room was a good size and clean. windows single glazed, so could hear all the traffic. the bathroom was presented clean and intelligent, but it was missing somewhere to put your own care products etc. shower worked well. the television was a large size in the room and easy to observe. good equipment with additional bonus of replacement stepp, if cold, was not needed as a room nice tempo, hair dryer, water cooker and free cookies. the breakfast was good. had dinner on Sunday evening, that was ok but expensive for quality. total good stay and good location to reach the city, alnwick castle and gardens.

We had lunch in the plough, and we really enjoyed it! eating was nice and there was a very relaxed atmosphere. it is also dog-friendly that is a very important tick in the box of us! the staff was clearly busy but very well treated with it, and the service was very friendly and prompt. the waitress was busy with my daughter who was nice, as at some places the children can be treated as if they are invisible, but this was not the case at all!

A bit slow to get our food, but it was worth waiting. the mush and soup starters were both excellent, but even better was the steak and ale-Pie, which came with a wonderful mix of sweet. too full to taste the puddings. the service was good and the staff were local and friendly.
