About the Alnwick Treehouse

The restaurant is one of the largest wooden treehouses in the world, built high among mature lime trees with rope bridges and elevated walkways linking its spaces. At night, thousands of fairy lights illuminate the structure, making it a must-see attraction as well as a dining destination.

Inside, the restaurant maintains a rustic charm with log walls, open fires, and timber beams. The combination of natural materials and soft lighting creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends.

Food and Drink

The menu changes seasonally, showcasing fresh local produce from Northumberland and beyond. Diners can expect a mix of hearty mains, vegetarian dishes, and indulgent desserts. Popular choices often include locally sourced meats, freshly prepared fish, and creative vegetarian options.

The Treehouse also caters well to younger visitors, with a children’s menu that makes it a good option for family dining. A wide drinks list — from wines and beers to creative cocktails — rounds out the offering.

Why We Recommend It

As local guest house owners, we often suggest the Alnwick Treehouse Restaurant to visitors looking for a special evening out. Its location, just a short walk from both The Bondgate Boutique and Tate House, makes it convenient as well as impressive.

It’s also an excellent choice for pre-theatre dining, with the Alnwick Playhouse nearby, or as a celebratory venue for birthdays and anniversaries. Be sure to book in advance, as tables fill quickly, especially in the evenings and at weekends.

The restaurant is part of Alnwick Garden, one of Northumberland’s most popular attractions. You can explore the gardens during the day and then continue into the evening with dinner in the Treehouse. Even if you are not visiting the gardens, dining at the Treehouse is reason enough to make the trip.
