Good to Know

Ristorante Tirreno, formerly Caffè Tirreno, is a family-run Italian restaurant on Bondgate Without, run by Dora and Patrick, opposite Alnwick Playhouse and just outside the Bondgate Tower. Alongside pizza, pasta and daily specials, the menu includes chicken, fish and steak dishes.

Why it's on our list: it's been a local favourite for years, valued for honest Italian cooking at reasonable prices, and it's ideal before a show at the Playhouse.

Worth knowing: it doesn't take bookings, so be prepared to wait at busy times, and it's closed on Tuesdays and Sundays.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.
