I cycled out from Alnwick, arriving just after 10am and not expecting the pub to be open, but a couple were drinking coffee on a table in the front garden, so I walked in. I asked for a coffee and was asked if I would like a glass of water too, which was a very welcome offer. The woman, who I took to be the owner, helped me with the door, as it was quite a heavy one while carrying two drinks. The coffee was pretty good, but the welcome and service were memorable. The pub's website says that opening time is 11:30, but I wasn't going to hang around for a beer, though the two beers looked tempting, from local Rigg & Furrow and Hadrian Border Brewery.
