The Dirty Bottles - Alnwick

Fantastic environment. the whole experience was enormous with friendly attentive staff and amazing eating. the separate vegan menu is high quality and simply delicious. presented in a high standard there are the wow factor without doubt is now my go to eat where I take all my visited vegan friends

We ordered two vegan appetizers at this restaurant. Unfortunately, the croquettes were still frozen and the jackfruit nachos were very odd - just tinted pieces of jackfruit, gherkins, and salad scattered over tortilla chips with a sweet chili sauce. We sent the croquettes back, and the staff was very apologetic and asked the kitchen to make another batch without blaming us. The second serving of croquettes was hot, but lacked flavor. For our main dish, my partner ordered the cauliflower steak with miso and lemon glaze, but it was too salty to eat. The cauliflower was coated in pure miso, making it inedible. The staff apologized and took it back to the kitchen to try again with a different brand of miso. We believe the kitchen should taste the food before sending it out. The other dishes were okay, but not particularly great.

I was excited about dining at this restaurant, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. Firstly, we ordered two soy lattes which ended up tasting off because the milk had gone bad. Then, we ordered a panini from the "vegan" menu, but it came with coleslaw that we had specifically asked the waitress to confirm was vegan. Unfortunately, the dish had not been prepared as requested.

This restaurant has excellent wheelchair access and is dog-friendly. They offer a wide variety of vegan options, from classics like three-bean chili, nachos, and bean burgers to more modern and unique dishes like cauliflower steak. The portions are generous and the staff is customer-oriented. They also have separate vegan menus, making it easier to find a meal without having to search through non-vegan options. Be mindful of cow's milk in the cocktails. This review was last updated on July 7, 2021.

Stayed for one night. Really friendly little place with a full vegan menu. They also offered a vegan breakfast that was far better than the started beans on toast. Would definitely stay again
