Quite simply one of the best venues I have stayed at. The staff are friendly and highly professional. The service in the bar and restaurant is superb. The menu is unbelievable as is the quality of the food that is presented brilliantly. What more can I say.

Rooms are lovely and cosy, plenty of parking and nice little bear garden. I would definitely stay over again as there is plenty to do in the area if you want to go out, which we did! The food was unbelievable, I got oysters to start and we got the sharing steak board and bottles of wine - best steak I?ve ever had, also really well priced! Breakfast was also so good.

Nice atmosphere with the restaurant busy on a Thursday night in the summer holidays. Vegetarian food is on a separate menu which we had to ask for which was a bit odd. Food was okay but some issues including undercooked parsnips with the wood pigeon. Service quite slow, and at the end of the meal we asked for the bill and it was clearly forgotten so had to ask again after waiting for a while.

Lovely country pub with great service and good food. It has one of the best vegetarian selections I have seen anywhere. The staff were very kind and understanding when my sister became unwell. (It was nothing to do with the food!) I would highly recommend it and will visit again next time I am holidaying in the area.

Nice pub with rooms. Friendly atmosphere, clean, tidy and spacious room. Seems to be in a good location. Only stayed here due to working in the area. Only negative I would say is food is a little pricey

Called in after a day out in Alnwick and wasn't disappointed
Called in at dinnertime for lunch, 2 course meal for £20 eachband a couple of drinks
The food was excellent, plenty of options, food is presented beautifully and the service is outstanding
Dogs are allowed and the staff couldn't be more helpful, so will definitely call in again if in the area

Our first visit to Cook & Barker, Monday-Wednesday this week, and it will not be our last. It was fantastic, nothing to fault. Food was excellent, huge portions, elegantly served piping hot dishes, lots of choice.
Nice dining room. Friendly staff. Breakfasts were good with a lot
of choice.
Room was very good - we were lucky to be given an upgrade, again nothing to fault.
Will be returning for sure

Stayed here in June for three nights, what a fantastic find, the pub is located down a quiet country road but within minutes of the A1 making it ideal for exploring all the tourist attractions in Northumberland.The room we had was spacious and well decorated and the bed was comfortable affording a good night's sleep after a busy day. We ate in the restaurant on each of the three nights and the food did not disappoint, the menu was extensive and you were spoilt for choice, the meals were delicious and well cooked and the dining room was cosy and welcoming, the staff were a credit to the pub and we must particularly mention Millie who was a breath of fresh air, very helpful and lovely personality which only added to our overall experience.
We would thoroughly recommend the Cook and Barker and will certainly return in the future.
