Alno Lounge

Alno Lounge is a cosy, all-day spot in Alnwick serving food and drinks from morning right through to evening, with dogs welcome inside and that proper "come in and stay a while" feel. There's a great menu of tasty dishes, plus dedicated options for Little Loungers, gluten-free guests and vegans, so everyone can order without doing the dramatic sigh-and-settle routine.

It's set up for lingering, not rushing: board games for all ages, toys for little ones, and a warm welcome for four-legged tag-alongs too. The menu runs from breakfast through to dinner, with coffee stops that have a habit of turning into lunch.

Basically, it's ideal for those days when you need somewhere dog-friendly where nobody has to wait on the pavement, and where you can settle in with a proper meal while your dog works on their under-table napping credentials.
