The Dirty Bottles - Northumberland

The menu at this restaurant is fantastic, with a wide variety of options to choose from. We were pleasantly surprised to find a great selection of vegetarian dishes, which can be hard to come by. We particularly enjoyed the veggie sausage 'dog' and the baked cauliflower dish, both of which were delicious. The restaurant tends to get quite crowded, so making a reservation is vital. We can't wait to come back again in the future.

Came here for dinner and it was fairly decent. Huge portions so glad we did not order any starters. Hubby ordered the dirty burger whilst I had the beef lasagna. Both good and tasty. My drawbridge spritz cocktail was just perfect. Good restaurant in a cold night.

Good spot thisLoads of beers to choose and the food was excellentStaff were great really nice and friendlyGood value for money The only thing we thought was lacking was the very small choice on the wines which surprised usDefinately recommend this place though

We made a reservation online a couple of days in advance and I ordered the tomahawk steak. Communication was excellent, and Nathalie made sure we were informed about the price of the steak. Our reservation was for 5.15 (the only available slot), but I stopped by earlier in the day to see if we could push it back a bit. Dan was very accommodating and managed to adjust our reservation time, so a big thank you to him. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. My steak came with a variety of sides including chunky chips, sweetcorn on the cob, tomatoes on the vine, a salad, and a peppercorn sauce, all served on a tray! My wife chose the Smokestack option with two meats and two sides, which was equally satisfying. The bar had an impressive selection of beers, lagers, spirits, and cocktails. The wine list was diverse with many options available by the glass. The prices for drinks were reasonable, especially with the early bird cocktail offer. We enjoyed our experience so much that we returned the following night for the Sunday roast, which was a great value for money and included a variety of vegetables, stuffing, and Yorkshire pudding. The cocktails were also top-notch. The service was quick and attentive, with friendly and helpful staff both at the table and behind the bar. The atmosphere was lively, especially on Saturday when it was busy, but still pleasant on the quieter Sunday evening. I will definitely make it a point to dine here again next time I'm in Alnwick.

The food and service at this restaurant were excellent. It was surprisingly busy even on a Tuesday afternoon, which speaks volumes. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the burger, while my partner had the jacket potatoes which were cooked perfectly with generous fillings. We will definitely return next year when we are in the area again.
