Restaurants and Bars

The White Swan's handsome restaurant overlooks flowered window boxes onto Alnwick's cobbled streets. The menu embraces continental cuisine and local fare, with Northumbrian wild game and cheeses. The cellars carry an extensive range of traditional and new world wines. The lounge and bar have open fires and seductively comfortable sofas. Hardy's Bar features fishing memorabilia supplied by the world famous tackle makers, who are based locally. The House of Hardy Bar is named after Alnwick's world-famous fishing tackle company. The walls are hung with photographs, rods, flies and angling memorabilia. It is a collection that arouses interest and enthusiasm even amongst those who don't know a Connemara Black from a Green Sedge. In the adjoining lounge you can sit back in leather sofas by an open fire and reflect on the day's events. The refurbished Bondgate Restaurant overlooks the cobbled streets of Alnwick and serves an imaginative and very satisfying 'Specialities of the Day' menu.
