I don't have enough superlatives in my vocabulary to extole the virtues of this restaurant. The food was stunning, the staff attentive though not obtrusive and the atmosphere was superb. We normally have dinner at the hotel we always stay in in Alnwick which is why we've never visited before. That's all changed. We will be recommending this place to everyone we know who goes to Alnwick. Having a chat with the chef after the meal showed us exactly what the ethic of the place is, seasonality and locally sourced.
This was my favourite restaurant on my trip to Alnwick.
The chef used to work for the Duke in the past and I'm not surprised.
The food was cooked fresh right next to where we sat. It was excellent. The lamb and duck dishes were amazing
The owners clearly have a passion for what they do and are very friendly and chatty.
I'd definitely recommend try Lilburns out at least once on your trip.
One of the best meals I’ve ever had and the presentation was tremendous. The staff were very friendly too!
Absolutely beautiful lunch today at Lilburns. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Every single meal we saw come out of the kitchen was stunning in presentation. Real works of art. The oohs and aahs from other customers echoed our own as our meals were just delicious. All incredibly reasonable in price too. I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's the treat of our yearly holidays to Northumberland.
We had the belly pork and muscles in garlic sauce.
We had an excellent meal. The staff we’re welcoming and friendly with great service. Price was reasonable especially for the portions which were great. Food looked and tasted amazing for both vegetarian and meat eaters alike. Menu was extensive and full of good local produce. A definite winner in our eyes.
What an amazing find! My first visit to Alnwick and Lilburns has made it a treat of a visit. Amazing, friendly service reflective of this beautiful town and steaks cooked to perfection and a dessert to die for! Super value wine list too. Looking forward to a return visit soon.
A little gem of a place -food delicious with lovely attention to detail such as the flavoured sugar glass effect on desserts - friendly and welcoming staff and overall a wonderful night. Thanks to the chef and team - we also enjoyed our chat at the end

Great friendly staff, standard of food very high, reasonably priced , we've been several times & at lunchtimes too, highly recommended
Food was exceptional off the a la carte menu. Service was professional and attentive, and staff very friendly. Nice to be able to compliment the chef at the end of the evening. We were the last to leave but the staff still had time to chat. Thoroughly recommend.
On a foul night, with two of our number having just completed the Macmillan Mighty Hike, and we being an hour late for our booking (having warned them), we were greeted with warmth and understanding; and when one of the walkers had what could have been a medical emergency, all the staff were attentive but not intrusive (we had medics in our group). They were lovely and good-humoured throughout on a busy evening.
Oh...and the food was excellent - great choice, with plenty of modestly priced dishes, and a great-sounding a la carte menu too.
We went away happy bunnies, and will return!!
