The best restaurants serving British food in Northumberland North East

I had a great experience with the server Cheryl, She was amazing and helpful throughout my whole experience here. The food was good, had fish and chips. All staff was brilliant and welcoming towards me. Will be back.

An average place which is clean with decent service, staff friendly and helpful.Food was pretty average, soup was luke warm. For the price nothing to complain about, but it was just average.

Been here before perhaps last year, and recalled it was quite nice so I was passing on my own and decided to call in for a coffee and cake. I liked the look of the Victoria sponge that looked homemade so ordered a piece of that and a cappuccino. The young girl serving me said to pay at the end when I’d finished. I knew I wouldn’t be ordering anything else and didn’t want to have to join a queue again so said I’d pay now. She looked awkward and then said £11.75. I said she must’ve made a mistake but confirmed it was correct. The cake was £7.10!!!! Now I like cake but I don’t £7.10 like it. She said it was because if blah blah blah, I’d zoned out though as I was so stunned. I said then I’d have a piece of coffee and walnut - also £7.10. Errrrr no. She said the shortbread was cheaper at £3.50. I don’t want shortbread and then felt like she’s offering me something cheaper because she thinks I can’t afford it. I decided not to bother as I wasn’t going to be ripped off. No wonder you’re told to pay afterwards as it’s too late then! No prices on any of the cakes, I guess it’s because nobody would ever order one then! This is a cafe in Berwick love, not The Ritz! I’ll expect to see it’s closed down by the new year as none of the locals are going to go in and pay those prices!

Working around the country, I see my fair share of Wetherspoon and pubs. The forum is up there with the best - super friendly, cracking food and all round service. Nice that the deputy is keen to raise a few a quid for her local charity. Take a bow and see you again soon.

This was a lunch experience I will not repeat. Upon arrival the cafe was busy but many tables were unable to be used as they were covered in dirty crockery. The staff walked past the tables empty handed several times and made no attempt to clear the tables. I eventually cleared a table myself. The service at the order point is incredibly slow and several mistakes were made with our order. After a very long wait, food started to arrive in dribs and drabs. Sandwiches were eaten before I eventually returned to the counter to enquire about drinks and the rest of the order. Staff made no comment as I questioned the delay in our order or when I had to return incorrect items. The milk for my tea was served in a tea pot which I had incorrectly presumed was extra hot water. This is such a shame as it could be a good place as the food was nice.

We have been going to the garden centre at least 4 times a week for a long time. I booked Xmas lunch for my mum and daughter and I It was terrible So disappointing as we were really looking forward to it The carrots and parsnips were burned. The roast potatoes were not freshly cooked. We had no stuffing or cranberry sauce .The after eight cheesecake had undissolved lumps of gelatine in it !!! So disappointed as we used to enjoy our visits but the standards of service and food quality has really deteriorated . Such a shame as it used to be good .

Nice little hotel bar right on the Main Street of Alnwick I had drink several times during our stay in Alnwick. Margaret had the chilli which she said was nice. I wasn’t hungry so had the potato skins which came with a barbecue sauce and garlic mayo, which were ok but out of a bottle.

Stayed in a nearby cottage and stopped off at the Oak Inn for a bar meal on our first evening. Everyone was very friendly, there was a nice atmosphere and the food was tasty and well priced.

-0 experience, terrible, diabolical. Burnt sausage. Poached ? Egg was the hardest poached egg ever produced. Salty bacon. Tasteless. Bread toasted, rubbish and soggy runny butter.

Stopped off for breakfast and found automation had caught up with Morrisons, in the form of an automated ordering system. Finding our way around the screen wasn't quite as easy as big Mac and KFC equivalents but we did manage it, only just. Wanting to pay by cash, however, was even more difficult as the robot doesn't accept anything except credit cards so customer, much against the chagrin, had to use plastic. The breakfasts, when they arrived, was excellent and without doubt value for plastic.

Totally ignored when we went to the counter and at least 6 people working and looking at us. Absolutely no acknowledgment from any one of them. A nod of the head and I'll be there in a minute was all we needed. After 5 minutes I said 'excuse me' still no response. We must be invisible I thought. The very tall lady who talked to us in the end needs her money back from the charm school. We then turned around and left for Seaton Sluice Harbour View chip restaurant. The difference in staff greetings was amazing. The lady in the garden centre shop was charming.

Lovely attentive, respectful staff .Fantastic views . Food good . Would recommend eating here rather than hotel

This is a lovely cafe! The food was so tasty and really homely with very generous portions. It’s such good value for money. The staff were brilliant and so friendly. We loved it here and were so grateful to find it and would definitely return.

Tasted okay but £9.00 for 2 portions of chips!! Sorry but we don't holiday in Kensington and while we appreciate supply prices have increased, that's a joke.

The cafe prices are ludicrous. £3.45 for a toasted tea cake with barely any fruit in it is ridiculous as is a fiver for two cups of tea and £9 for a cooked breakfast!! The staff are not the most pleasant either. Sadly the shop and garden centre prices are way off the scale too compared to most other garden centres. Definitely would not recommend or revisit.
