Lilburn's

Reviewed By Warwick D

We came on spec but despite being booked up the staff arranged a place for us. The general atmosphere is one of a pub or cafe-style eatery, but the food was of a very high standard, beautifully presented. The staff were efficient and full of good humour: it seemed a happy place to work! Excellent value for money

We are staying near to this pub and had read some good reviews on . So glad we did! This was an absolutely lovely place for dinner. It has an extensive menu which we struggled to pick from as there were so many. Ended up having duck breast and crab. We plan to go back at least once. Great selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Highly recommend!dinnerThank you so much for leaving such as lovely review!We are delighted you had a great experience with us and certainly hope to see you again.Regards

Grannies

Grannies Tea room and Delicatessen was established around 1984, then the tearoom only held a couple of tables placed within the shop. It was only later, in 1989, that the intimate downstairs tea room was developed within the basement where the old fashion

Tucked away down a closed off part of the high street, this little shop serves all things tasty. We only had room for cakes, but my raspberry coconut tart was a treat.Prices are reasonable and service is brisk.

The Craster Seafood Restaurant

Reviewed By pastelman10Yorkshire

We called in here for lunch when visiting the area, parking is very limited but worth walking to from the local main car park.A very good and comprehensive menu offering fresh seafood amongst other good choices. Service was good from very efficient and busy staff and portions more than adequate. The main seating area is in a large conservatory giving wonderful views over the sea.

Reviewed By EdinburghSusan

Waited for a table with my husband and 8 year old for lunch. They only serve soup and scones for lunch. Board advertised 2 soups. Got given the menus. Still no one mentioned they’d only got one soup left. When we ordered, we got told it was hot chilli and not suitable for our daughter. We asked if she could try a teaspoon as she actually enjoys lots of flavours, and they said no. Apparently it is in portions? Presumably the trouble of heating up a portion of the only thing you sell was too much trouble for your potential customers who’ve been hanging round for 10 minutes. So there’s nothing to eat? I asked. Waitress huffed back that the soup had been being served for ages and was all gone, as though we were perhaps a bit fronty to rock up at a cafe for lunch at 1.30pm. Not a great deal of choice in neighbouring places unless you want things with chips, so be mindful before you wander into Alnwick planning to come here, they may have nothing to eat at lunchtime at all.

Second visit here for Sunday lunch and every bit as good as the first. Potato skins to start, and lots of them ! Roast beef for main, superb again, the best beef ever. Loads of meat, in stark contrast to the place we ate at last Sunday ! Left both very full and highly satisfied, in stark contrast to the place we ate at last Sunday ! Very friendly, professional and efficient service, and owners who clearly make a real personal effort to ensure their customers are satisfied. Thanks again, and won’t be long before we’re back. Thank you so much for your brilliant review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your meal with us on Sunday. We love that you liked our friendly professional and efficient service along with our lovely food. We hope we can welcome you back soon. Thank you once again.

Ate here quite late in the afternoon when hunger suddenly struck while out with the dogs. Had the sausage sarnie and it was delicious. Two square sausage patties, very well cooked and lovely flavour. Great service even though it was close to closing time. Will be a regular stop on dog walks in Craster from now on !

Wonderfully welcoming cafe on a farm. Lovely locally produced food and delicious coffee and cakes. Some dramatic seascape photos, taken by former jockey Richard Dunwoody, on display. Andrew is a very friendly host and dogs are very much encouraged! Highly recommended.Hi Andrew. Many thanks for your review of our little cafe. It was great to meet you.We are attracting more and more dogs (and their owners) thesedays. Our agility course in the garden adds a degree of fun for them.

So... we arrived for our meal at 1.30 and were welcomed and shown to our table. Drink orders were taken and food orders placed. Quite a long wait for food and no offer of more drinks while we waited? Food arrived but one meal missing. Food very average and for the following reasons:Steak and Ale pie was supposed to be homemade? Looked bought in and pastry very tough. Not much filling and steak chewy.Burgers a huge disappointment. Brioche buns dry and burgers tough and dry. Chips with steak pie not very good and not many of them? Peas with steak pie very dry and shrivelled up! Puddings not much better. Tiny little dish for custard with a huge kids portion of crumble? At no point were we offered more drinks and we were there for 2 hours. Asked for military discount and asked to show an ID card. All in all a very disappointing experience and customer care not good. Food very average and will be going to the Ridley Arms next time. Dear GuestWe apologise if you feel we did not meet your expectations on your recent visit. Having spoken to our duty manager, we were of the opinion that there weren't any problems, as when we checked back on your table when food had arrived, there were no comments passed onto us. Had you mentioned any items not to your liking then, we would have most certainly dealt with anything we could. Rest assured our pies are made from scratch in-house.We are also sorry if we offended you in any way by asking for ID; I'm sure you can appreciate when we are offering a substantial 25% discount to military personnel, it is normal practice to request ID from customers.We value your custom and hope you will consider us in the future.Vanessa CGuest Relations
