The Market Tavern, Steakhouse and Lodge

First meal out in Alnwick, and my word it was good, I rang about an hour before we were heading into town to see if they had a table, they got us in during a very busy Saturday night which was brill.

Brilliant welcome, and we were seated on time, the place is warm, cosy and very inviting. I felt extremely comfortable and at home.

The service was great, warm and friendly and very efficient.

Best bit was the food! I had the mussels to start, I got a great portion and the white cream sauce was one of the best I've had in recent memory. Next I had the Beef brisket which just fell apart and the sauce and vegetables on the side were all expertly cooked. Loved it and I couldn't recommend it more!!

A warm welcoming pub with excellent and attentive staff who were very aware and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Two members of staff stand out, Alex and Liam (aka Pickles) who were very friendly and engaging. Thank you all.

Called in for lunch and very pleasantly surprised at just how good it was. Food was superb. Best Belly pork in a long while, served with tasty, buttery vegetables and PROPER pork gravy. Really, really tasty food and friendly service. Well done The Market Tavern

We stopped here for a quick lunch after another place had no dog friendly tables left. Very glad the other place couldn't take us.
We split the mac and cheese and the chateaubriand (medium rare, closer to rare) and it was delicious. They nailed it on the meat and the mac and cheese was a good side. The food was so good we managed to leave room for desert and it was worthwhile. We will stop here again if ever in the area

Just had a roast dinner here, the food was beyond delicious, cannot rate it high enough. The best roast dinner I have had in years, the meat melted, Yorkshire were light & fluffy, vegetables were plentiful, choice was amazing! Staff were so welcoming, helpful & friendly…this is a must if you’re visiting Alnwick!! Thank you…

My wife is gluten-intolerant and we were struggling to find somewhere for lunch in Alnwick that had decent gluten-free options until we found this place. Food was excellent and staff were very attentive to our requirements, even departing from the strict menu to suit us. Also dog-friendly! Would definitely visit again.

Very friendly and attentive staff. The food is also amazing and very reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Spending a couple of nights in Alnwick between Christmas and New Year. Hotel suggested the Market Tavern. What a great place! Straight forward, unassuming market town pub with excellent service (thanks Cooper), excellent food (perfectly cooked ribeye) and a nice welcoming environment. Well done!!! Totally recommend, if you decide to try it out I’m sure you will not be disappointed.

Enjoyed a lovely meal in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent and the food well presented and good quality. It was a bonus that our dog was also welcomed which made the evening relaxing and comfortable. We will certainly return if we're in the area again.

Only had a fish and chip butty which was like a meal by its self absolutely lovely service excellent , lovely old friendly pub 😀

I wish I could rate it higher ! I've visted twice and wow! both times have been sublime. I had the Burger, great portion and absolutely quality meat. Second time, Chicken Hannah, cheese and chicken was lush!!! By far the best place for food in Alnwick. Get yourself along for a warm welcome and a refreshing pint.

Absolutely amazing, from a bad experience at a rival hotel (premier) we came here for food , without a booking. The chap we spoke to ( manager probably) amazing yes of course here's a table , the staff young ladies, well mannered, attentive happy and smiling. The food outstanding excellent taste and top notch well worth a visit or several. Prices good . I'd say the best place to eat, drink, relax and stay in Alnwick.
Faultless, A Credit to All Staff.

Was doing some shopping with my mother a few months ago in Alnwick and couldn’t decide where to have lunch we definitely made the right decision we weren’t to hungry so just shared a couple starters they were really nice and as it was a quite quiet afternoon we had a good chat with some of the staff who great
I will Occasionally pop in after work for a drink and there’s always a great atmosphere.
Lovely place highly recommend : )

A lovely overnight stay !
Food was fabulous ,service really friendly and attentive .
Great room ,very clean and comfy ,thank you👍👍

Visited here twice during our week un Alnwick. Very friendly helpful staff. Smiley and pleasant. Food was really good. We booked in advance for a Tuesday night...just as well we did as they had to turn people away who hadn't booked. The staff here are well trained and informative. Nothing seems any trouble to them even when the place was busy+++
I would def recommend.
Top tip:book in advance for food.

Cosy tavern. Very dog friendly.
Absolutely spectacular Sunday roast.
Melt in the mouth beef & pork. Gorgeous real gravy! Very generous portion, couldn't manage a desert. Even though the ones that passed our table looked amazing!
Although busy the staff were very pleasant, helpful & smiling!
Will be visiting again when in Alnwick!

At the risk of not being able to book next time this is a great place. The rooms have what you need the bathroom is palatial lol. The food and staff are amazing. I came on a bit of a pilgrimage of my own I couldn't have been better served. .

Came across this pub by chance. Looks nothing from the outside but on entering we were pleasantly surprised by the lovely warm welcome and cosy interior. The menu is fantastic and I fully recommend this lovely place for a warm welcome and fab food

Delicious Sunday roast! Beef brisket and boyfriend had roast pork. Very tasty dinner, 5 different vegetables and a huge potion. We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch here. Lovely traditional pub with friendly and helpful staff. Well done for great food and service 😉

We never stayed here, however, booked it for a meal having popped in for a beer the previous day. Had the fillet, easily one of the nicest fillets I’ve had, and I’ve had a few.
