We ate at the Shepherd's Rest carvery today and really enjoyed it! There was a good selection of food, three meats and lots of veg. Tasted really good too. We hope to return again in the future. More

We went back to the Shepherd's Rest for the carvery today because it's the best in Alnwick. It's not a 'chain' pub, but a unique place to eat, with friendly banter from Bob. We would recommend it! More
