great service at Blackmore's, clean, comfy beds and good sound proofing.
restaurant - good food, reasonably priced, friendly waitresses
A good hotel and much needed in this part of the world, would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and restaurant.

I have eaten here on two occasions, months apart and overall found the service, food choice and general atmosphere far above anything else that Alnwick has to offer! We initially ate, as a group of 8, on Christmas Eve 2007. The service was excellent, with all staff being pleasant, and efficient. We were all served together, which meant that no-one was left waiting for food whilst everyone else ate. The owner even came round the restaurant after service had ended to chat to the customers, and... (read more)

The menu at Blackmores in Alnwick is interesting and appealing without being pretentious, the food follows the same pattern, flavoursome, interesting and just different enough without being scary! The decor is relaxing modern, fresh and tasteful. This is somewhere you could take anyone and feel comfortable and I am certain your guests would be impressed. We couldn't get a table for a Sat night (the previous Weds) but settled for a table on Sunday evening. The staff on the night were... (read more)

In my opinion Blackmore's in Alnwick is not restaurant standard; more like bar food, and for this it is too expensive. (read more)

I had seen some strong criticisms here and in the press, but none were justified on the basis of my experience. (Party of 6 on a Sat night). The standard of the interior fittings both in the downstairs bar and in the restaurant upstairs is well above the standard of anything else in Alnwick, although it was just a bit too warm upstairs. The service was friendly and efficient and the pace of delivery just right, neither too slow or rushed, and this on a busy night. The place is always full... (read more)

We have eaten here twice. Once on 23rd December for dinner and once a couple of weeks ago for lunch. Both times the food and staff were fantastic. So often these days we pay for poor food that has been re heated in a microwave .Normally in Alnwick, you are better off at home with Nigella! At last decent, proper food here at Blackmores. About time! (read more)

This restaurant is a breath of fresh air to Alnwick. Having read the local paper about Blackmore's, I think the person complaining needs to get a life. How sad they are resorting to putting it in the local paper and websites. Of course with any new establishment there will be some teething problems but they get sorted. If I'm not happy with a meal I've ordered, I say so straight away, and it will hopefully get sorted. This person obviously just muttered and complained all through their meal... (read more)

We dined as a party of four at the newly opened (two weeks) Blackmore's in Alnwick, Northumberland, before Christmas 2007. The restaurant is on two floors, the ground floor part being adjacent to the (noisy, as one would expect) bar and our table was near to the entrance to the toilets which as one would expect again to be well frequented. Note that the table booking had been made some three weeks in advance. For a restaurant that describes itself on its own web site as not only Alnwick's... (read more)

I found this review not helpful because...It would have been more useful to gain a consideration of the restaurant not the pub.
