"We made a reservation online a couple of days in advance and I ordered the tomahawk steak. Communication was excellent, and Nathalie made sure we were informed about the price of the steak. Our reservation was for 5.15 (the only available slot), but I stopped by earlier in the day to see if we could push it back a bit. Dan was very accommodating and managed to adjust our reservation time, so a big thank you to him. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. My steak came with a variety of sides including chunky chips, sweetcorn on the cob, tomatoes on the vine, a salad, and a peppercorn sauce, all served on a tray! My wife chose the Smokestack option with two meats and two sides, which was equally satisfying. The bar had an impressive selection of beers, lagers, spirits, and cocktails. The wine list was diverse with many options available by the glass. The prices for drinks were reasonable, especially with the early bird cocktail offer. We enjoyed our experience so much that we returned the following night for the Sunday roast, which was a great value for money and included a variety of vegetables, stuffing, and Yorkshire pudding. The cocktails were also top-notch. The service was quick and attentive, with friendly and helpful staff both at the table and behind the bar. The atmosphere was lively, especially on Saturday when it was busy, but still pleasant on the quieter Sunday evening. I will definitely make it a point to dine here again next time I'm in Alnwick."

"Where do I Start. First of all the room was grimy and tired. Everything really could of done with a good deep clean and a new lick of paint. The description on the The Swan Taphouse says open till late and doesn't specify an actual time , but we were informed they were open till twelve at night when we arrived. So there was a consent noise outside the window with the beer garden being directly below. The key we were given was bent and we were instructed to forcefully yank the key out of its lock if it wouldn't come out. The bath only gave out Luke warm water and the water pressure was low. Bed side lights barley worked with the one bulb flickering and some of the plug sockets weren't working. The one member of staff we saw was generally lovely but that was the only member of staff we saw. Now we should of learned from the state of the room that the food wouldn't be up to scratch but we were tired and hungry so we thought we would risk it. I know, that's on us! We waited an hour for our food and it arrived cold and bland, surprising really when there was only around 8 people there. Now for the breakfast, when booking at the The swan taphouse you would of thought the breakfast would be served at the place you paid to stay in right? Wrong! It was served at a different pub and that wasn't mentioned when booking the room! There was nobody there in the morning to ask you about your stay as a member of there staff doesn't start till 12pm. We could of questioned it after arriving that day but with so much wrong with the room we dreaded to think what the rest of the rooms were like."

"Working away for my company I have been to numerous smokehouse style restaurants and can honestly say Bare Grills was the clear winner so far. I visited with my family on a personal meal not funded by my employer and it was a group choice to visit this restaurant. I had been to the same location some years ago probably 2015 when it used to be owned by Grillstock. The location is Clifton Triangle and luckily the West End multistorey car park had just re-opened after a lengthy closure £3 for 2 hours . We arrived at 5pm and there was already 3 or 4 tables eating there food when we arrived, the music was great if you love southern rock and that style which I do. We were asked for our drink order first, and then ordered our food. The order was 1 x Double Bacon Burger 1 x Filthy Pig Burger 1 x Piggyback Burger 2 x Dirty Fries with crispy bacon 1 x Dirty Fries with pulled pork The food arrived promptly and looked amazing see images , the fries were so nice with the sauce and topping bacon or pulled pork given them an extra level of delicousness! The burgers were amazing, I had the Piggy Back which is bacon and 4 burger patties! It was like a skyscraper! It was juicy, well cooked not over cooked before you jump to any conclusion! . It was too big to eat by hand, so i decided to split it into 2 halves, then eat with a knife and fork. My family all enjoyed there meal just as much with 6 plates going back completely clean the fries are seperately ordered to the burgers so on a different plate . As I said in my opinion this is the finest tasting burger fries in a smokehouse restaurant that I have been too, give it a try you will not be dissapointed! Their menu is not just limited to burgers, they have hot dogs, wings and ribs etc too. I will be returning and my family are all in agreement that they loved it too and want to return."
