1st Class Food in Northumberland

An absolute gem on the Holy Island! We stopped here to grab a sandwich, some cake, and a drink to take with us as we explored the island. The customer service was excellent, the owner was an absolute delight and super helpful. The food is delicious, and a really good selection too! And on top of all that they sell maps and books of the island as well, it really is a must visit and a one stop shop for everything you need on your island adventures!

My partner and I decided to head here specifically based on a recommendation. We ordered a pot of tea, a coke, a baked potato with cheese and a banger and spicy chutney toasted sandwich with a side of chips (all came to ~£30). First of all there were no toasted sandwiches available, which was fine as we were not long before last orders, I accepted the bangers and spicy chutney as a plain sandwich. When the drinks arrived the cup and glass were not clean. The food arrived and it was all tasty food. However, halfway through my sandwich I was concerned that the bread was quite dry, I looked at it and there was small patches of mould on it. The chips tasted great, but I did notice that there were a couple of small flies seemingly cooked onto them. The jacket potato was good. We did not particularly find the staff friendly or approachable and they were trying to close, we were also tired and just wanted to leave.

Stopped here for lunch about 11:45 it was extremely busy and we got the last table indoors although there were still a couple available outdoors. There was plenty on the menu to suit everyone and the prices were not excessive. Portions were large, well and freshly prepared and presented. Even inside you can still people watch and enjoy your meal. This place is definitely worth a visit.

We were looking for a good place for breakfast on Lindisfarne after a night at the Premier Inn at Berwick. Found this on Tripadvisor and was not disappointed. Excellent full english breakfast, fast efficient service, friendly staff.

You might not realise from the website or from the outside signage but the Post Office and the adjacent Cafe are apparently separate businesses!? Hmm! My partner and I with our two furry friends in tow arrived relatively early in accordance with the tide timetable and thought we’d get a little coffee before things got too busy. In passing the establishment(s?) we though we’d take an outside table and sample some fayre before heading off to explore. With multiple tables available and only one other couple as customers, my partner went inside and placed an order at the establishments counter. In the interim, we had no one come to take outside. Unfortunately on sitting outside for twenty minutes we were surprisingly and abruptly told to take our “takeaway” purchases from the establishment and consume elsewhere. We and the other customers adjacent were astounded. We were subsequently advised that the businesses were separate and chastised to take our “rubbish” with us. In utter disgust with our treatment this point, I refused and advised that they should make it more clear for customers the nature of the dichotomy of the business. It initially spoiled our trip to the Holy Isle but thankfully the vistas and a trip to the Pilgrims Cage before heading back over the causeway restored our faith in good people, something utterly missing in this establishment(s). I apologise if this is unfair on the other adjacent business but I am unsure what the set up is and on further checking on the Internet, I am still sure. Safe to say however I won’t be back to either. I can only recommend you avoid and that the establishment(s) more fully understand the importance of their interdependence and more clearly define this to potential customers before they, like me, make the mistake of giving patronage.

This place offers a nice cooked breakfast, good and friendly service and a nice outdoor seating area. I think it offered good value for money.

We went for a tea and a coffee when we first arrived on the island this morning and were impressed by the incredibly friendly and efficient staff. We returned at lunchtime to try the food, based on the excellent impression they had made in the morning and we were not disappointed. I can thoroughly recommend the fresh crab sandwich (Which is pictured below). It was beautiful! Crammed full of crab, in a Stottie, served with a well dressed salad, served at room temperature and not chilled, which enhanced the flavour (chilled salad is a bug bear of mine). Truly excellent, friendly and efficient staff serving lovely, tasty food. A credit to a beautiful island. 👍

A great little cafe. Top quality ingredients cooked well for a very good price. Will definitely return next time I’m on the island 👍

Very prompt and friendly service from all the staff. The sandwiches were delicious and generously filled, plus it’s always brilliant to see an interesting vegan option (Coronation Chickpea sandwich) and vegan salad dressing as standard on a menu. Lovely outdoor seating and very dog friendly.

Delightful staff, two very nice ladies who took the time to chat and comment on how well behaved our dog was - thank you. We enjoyed two of the home baked quiches and they were delicious, we certainly recommend this establishment for a pit stop.

I went into the cafe and decided to have a full breakfast. The sausage was lovely and had a very unique flavour. The bacon was lovely and well cooked. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit if your hungry .

Choice of food items was good, and the food was prepared and served quickly. Our toasties were great , my bacon Brie and cranberry was perfect, and my husband let me try a little bit of his sausage and tomato chutney toastie, and the sausage was incredibly delicious. A nice generous portion of fries completed this hearty lunch. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cafe for a great lunch on Holy Island.

We returned to our favourite cafe on the island this week to enjoy a lovely lunch of homemade delights. All freshly made pastries and cakes that made our visit to the island so much more special. Returned before our journey home for a takeaway from the shop of fresh crab sandwiches that are made more special for knowing it has come fresh from the local fisherman. The sandwich was full of delicious crab , see the pic. Very popular and dependant on the local catch so we made sure we ordered early to avoid disappointment! Nice to see businesses supporting other local produce providers. A wonderful establishment with caring staff that are kean to ensure we enjoyed our visit. Gem of a place.

My first visit to Holy Island so I'd read up on where to eat. As this place rated highly I came here with my elderly Mum. It was busy, but we found a table outside fairly easily in the covered area. Yes, we had a wait for the coffee but I'd been advised of that when I placed the order. The service was excellent, although I think the staff were getting a bit exasperated at people coming to pay without making a note of the table number!! I'd also ordered 2 Melting Moments which were awesome!! Literally melting in the mouth and gone in a moment!! Will definitely visit again when I come to Holy Island. Thank you 😊

Nice enough people and the food was ok but we had to wait 55 minutes for sandwiches after being warned the wait time was 30 minutes and we clearly weren't the only ones. It was sunny when we went in and raining by the time we left so we never got our walk round the island. Not especially cheap either.

The crab sandwich was everything I'd hoped for and my husband really enjoyed his soup and cheese scone. The staff worked their socks off on this busy, wet day. No wonder it's such a popular cafe! The old Post Office shop next door sells a good range of postcards, view cards and maps but you can also get takeaway food there, along with delicious-looking quiches, sausage rolls and sandwiches. Just the place to buy a picnic.

I had came here for food after a school trip but I had brought my own food and was eating it as I could not afford the food and all my friends had ordered food so I thought it would be okay. I was repeatedly harassed by the workers for eating my own food after all my friends had ordered and the woman who worked there was very rude to me, almost taking my food off of me. I am very disappointed with the service from here and won’t be returning. Also when I was leaving I was referred to as “pink bag” and pointed at and then the door was shut behind us as soon as we walked out the door.

This is always our first port of call when we arrive in the island for our weeks’ stay. Fantastic breakfast as always, coffee is great too. All the food is lovely and the customer service is just superb, such a lovely welcome whenever we visit. Very highly recommended!

Went here for lunch while visiting Holy Island for the day. Relatively simple menu but still plenty to choose from. Everything we ordered was really tasty, arrived quickly and even a slight mistake with our order was immediately rectified. Would not hesitate to recommend and will visit again next time we are on the island.

Great breakfast. The eggs were done to perfection. The staff were all so friendly and efficient. What a way to start the day.

Lovely breakfast will be going back , staying in hotel on island but after one of there breakfasts , no Thankyou back to first class food tomorrow for Breakfast .

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch in 1st Class food. Sat outside in the sunshine. Service excellent and my husband had the French Onion soup which was delicious and we both had a fresh crab sandwich and salad. All beautifully prepared and presented with plenty of crab meat on the sandwich. Coffee & cakes also very good. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed our stay on the Holy Island and look forward to returning in the near future. Thank You!

Went for breakfast as we was stopping 3 nights in holy island guest house. Busy place with seating inside and out, order your food and wait for it to arrive at your table. I had the full English of 1 large bamburgh sausage, 2 bacon, egg, mushrooms, 2 hash browns, tomato, 2 slices of toast all for £7.95. Delicious and served by friendly locals on this beautiful island.

Had a lovely lunch here today and can highly recommend. We all had sandwiches, which were delicious, stotties were so fresh and probably the best I’ve had. The staff are friendly, service was great, what more could you want. Oh, the fruit scones were fab too.

I contacted the cafe before my visit and asked if I could reserve a table and explained that i was bringing my mother-in-law who is 99. I explained that chose it because it was close to the car park and they served crab which she loves. When we arrived, there were signs up in the cafe saying "no crab today" but they had kept some (a lot!) for us. How is that for 5 star service! Also the food was excellent too

The crab sandwich is 1 of the best I’ve eaten innNorthumberland, the portion size of everything is generous & the coffee is superb, staff are friendly, lovely place to eat when visiting the island. Dog friendly too.

We got to Holy Island at 9am after a 90 minute drive and head to this cafe as I’d read the reviews on here before coming. We had two cappuccinos which were lovely - great coffee that you can. It from the shop. We walked around this beautiful place then returned to the cafe before leaving the island for tea and cream scones. Delicious! Lots of outside seating and loads inside too. The staff here are fabulous, so lovely and chatty and calm considering how busy it was the 2nd time. I’ve decided I want to live here when I retire and get a job in this cafe!

Visited for a late lunch, sitting outside. We both had a sandwich which was delicious. The staff were all friendly and efficient. The cakes looked absolutely divine, but we had to be sensible on this occasion (sadly!).

Had a lovely visit today..We sat outside and enjoyed tea and scone . Served by lovely friendly staff. We will certainly visit again. The birds coming close by were beautiful. Thank you.xx

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great big vegetarian breakfast with good coffee and hot chocolate. Far surpassed a nearby cafe on the island. Thank you for your hospitality

Found this place while exploring Holy Island. Had a nice lunch there, the staff were pleasant and we didn’t wait long for food. Soup of the day was nice and they had a good range of sandwiches as well. I would recommend.

Having had a pretty lousy cappuccino at another nearby establishment the previous day, we decided on a coffee here on returning from the castle. It was very busy but we managed to find a table in the garden and had very good cappuccinos and two massive toasted teacakes. The rest of the food that was being brought out all looked very nice too.

Incredible food and friendly staff!! Loved the BBC sandwich (Bacon, Brie & Cranberry)! Great taste and size for $. I saved 1/2 for later. Breakfast is great also. I had the local crab sandwich and it was lovely. Beautiful little side of salad. Best option for the entire island!! Their hours are slightly dictated by tide, and they are worthy of the time. My only regret is they are not open for dinner. Steven & Joel were friendly and personable.

So disappointing. Went I few years ago when it was under different owners so wanted to go back. Were there for 9am for breakfast. Sat outside but most tables covered in bird poo which as its outside is understandable but inside the floor was filthy with sauce sachets and cutlery lying under the serving table. Obviously from the previous days service. Staff seemed harassed (this was at 9am so heavon help them at the busy periods)and did not know till operation or ordering. Still seems to be operating under covid rules almost! Decided to get a takeaway in the end and cannot fault the portion sizes or food but the cafe really needs to up its cleanliness.

We had walked round the whole of the island and so ready for lunch we were pleased to find this cafe had an outside sunny table available. Good choice of sandwiches including our choices - local crab and ham with mustard. Both excellent. And we finished with ice-creams all round - we especially liked the ginger, strawberry and salted caramel. The staff were very busy but were pleasant and looked after us well.

We had completed a full circuit of the island and were concerned when the first 2 cafes were closed. However 1st Class was just that. Fast, efficient service, good coffee and delicious cakes (Mars bar brownie and banana, walnut and coffee cake).

Having made our way on to the island early morning, we were keen to explore . We worked up an appetite we were ready for some first class food. Unfortunately, the name is as first class as this place gets.Having been recommended this place by family friends we were excited. When we arrived, we didn't actually know if the place was open as the front door was shut. We braved the shut door to be ignored by the staff. No "hello" , no chit chat and certainly no eye contact. Considering the shop is not much bigger than the idiot box on the causeway I would have hoped to be noticed by the staff. Having stood pretending to read the various unhelpful menus on the wall, we were barked at to inform us that there was no food available apart from what we could see in the fridge or "I can do you a bacon or sausage roll"...so kind! We stared longingly in the fridge to be faced by a lonely pie and some unnamed quiches. Afraid but brave enough to dare ask what was in the quiches we asked for 2 quiche and 1 pie. We ordered some coffee and some sweet treats also. We were not blessed with prices but hoped for the best. I'm still unsure what anything cost.We left the island to have a picnic and watch the tide come in. We nestled into the grass like true Brits and busted out the picnic. Thank god for the stunning views because the food was AWFUL. The lonely pie was so peppery it could have been any meat..yuk. Pastry slightly under done just to top it off. Brownie looked tasty but tasteless, no one likes an empty calorie! Coffee does not compare to the coffee shop round the corner. Finally the quiche. It was ok but one smelt a little...different? We powered on and although extremely disappointed with the food we had a lovely day out.Don't get me wrong, I know the world is upside down and there are a lot of shortages and everyone is struggling. However I would expect at least eye contact from a shopkeeper. Unfortunately all I got was a gippy tummy all the way home!!!

We arrived at the coffee shop after a walk around the island. Walked into the coffee shop and asked if we could sit at a table. They sat us at a table gave us a menu and asked us to track and trace. We sat and waited and waited another couple came and sat at the table behind us eventually a waitress came and took there order but I jumped in and said we had been waiting longer. I asked what the cakes were on top of the counter. The lady came across very rude when she asked which one rather than just telling us what both cakes were on the counter. Service was quick but then we waited ages for them to come with the bill. The cafe was busy and people were been told to sit outside. If the service had been more organised inside tables would of become vacant quicker. It was a complete disorganised disaster people were going out of the door they arrived through and been stopped and told it was one way but there was no signs that said this. They need to look at how they manage there staff and organise it all then they might not be so unorganised not knowing what is going on. Shame as it put a dampner on our day.

It was pouring down with rain, we were cold and wet and in need of some hot food! The cafe did not disappoint Hubbie and I had the very tasty veg and lentil soup with a cheese scone and shared a bacon, brie and cranberry toastie, with a pot of tea and then squeezed in a slice of the most delicious blueberry cake. It was all top notch! Staff were lovely and it was very clean and covid-secure. Sorry no pics as too busy enjoying the food, but here's a sheep near the castle

Cosy little cafe but everything you need. We just went for coffee cake and milkshake but they were all fab. Friendly staff. Food menu looked good. Would go again!

Lovely cafe in a lovely location. Good attention to Covid precautions & very pleasant staff. I had local crab sandwich & my wife had soup, both were lovely.We sat outside as we had a dog but there was also dog friendly seats inside.Would recommend.

It was pouring with rain, the power had temporarily gone off on the island and we were hungry and cold before we found this place. The staff were apologetic about having a limited offering due to the power outage but very willing to seat us. As luck would have it the power came back on and we were able to have a hot drink and some lunch. The food was lovely (had the crab sandwich) and they were very dog friendly although we paid £40 for lunch (two adult sandwiches, two kids lunches and 4 hot drinks) which was a little more than I was expecting to pay. That being said it was the most welcoming looking cafe on the island, service was great and we would go back.

Spoken to at the door which seemed odd to the point I asked if you could sit in. Definitely seemed as though they would prefer people outside (or not at all) Ordered coffee to go. Which was a good coffee. Overall weird unwelcome Feeling.

My wife and I visited this establishment twice during our stay. Although the place was very busy the service was good and the food tasty however a trifle expensive.

We had lunch twice and both times food was delicious and fresh especially the crab salad. Clean and well organised.

We stayed for two nights on Holy Island and ate breakfast here both mornings. Very Covid aware with track and trace system and staff friendly and welcoming. We particularly liked the granola pots. Would definitely recommend.

There are not really that many cafes on Holy Island. We opted for this one. Unfortunately the experience did not live up to its name. The scones did not taste homemade and the tea had a strange taste. I like strong coffee but this was too strong 4/5 strength. The service and surroundings were nice but maybe we had a bad day at the office.

Bought take out drinks and a biscuit as didn't realise we could get table service outside. Man who served us wasn't overly welcoming and we were then told by a waitress that we couldn't use their tables for takeout food purchased at their establishment. Seemed a bit petty as it was a genuine mistake on our part.

We called here each day during our three day stay on the Island. for coffee and cake. The variety of cakes offered were clearly shown in a glass display cabinet It was table service. The staff were most helpful and very responsible with the virus precautions .

Stopped for a cream tea whilst exploring the island. We were served by a young man who was a great host and his work deserves recognition. Despite being extremely busy, he ensured that everyone was served quickly, tables cleared away immediately and that everyone had adhered to the Covid regulations. Really pleasant member of staff who checked that everyone was happy. Scone and jam was delicious.

We called in here for lunch. The food was average. Our issue was the service and the chaotic attempts by this cafe to comply with COVID-19 regulations. We arrived at about 11.45am. We queued as we expected to be seated, although staff didn’t speak to people outside and had no blackboard outside advising what to do. A couple were leaving, so we asked a waitress if we could sit at their vacated table and were told we could. The table still had pots on it from previous occupants. After 30 minutes and no one clearing the table or serving us, we asked the same waitress to serve us. She was busy taking an order from a party only just arrived. She said “I’ll be there in a minute”, but didn’t. After 45 more minutes we again asked to be served. A very rude waitress accused us “did you sit at a dirty table” we said “we were told to sit here” she didn’t apologise and asked someone else to serve us. They cleared the table, but didn’t wipe it, then left us again. We asked again to be served, the waitress asked for the order. We said please can you wipe the table? (Still covered in debris) She looked annoyed, but did so. We then had to ask her to record our “track and trace” info which had never been taken. NO WAITING STAFF HAD MASKS ON! I noted them carrying food to tables, talking over the trays. Potentially spraying virus onto food. We eventually ordered toasted sandwiches and coffee. Coffee arrived after 5 more minutes, great ! At last we had coffee. Toasties took another 30 minutes. Throughout our meal people walked past diners, heading to toilets or takeaway not wearing masks. Why not insist on customers wearing masks? Waiting staff were literally running about, chaotic, no direction or organisation. NO MASKS ! Diners were asked to leave the restaurant via a long “one way” route past lots of other tables rather than via the nearest exit. If this cafe wants to avoid being a COVID-19 hotspot they need to get organised. Staff must wear masks. They need info for customers at the door and on tables. I also suggest they avoid blaming customers for sitting at “dirty tables” which their own staff told them to sit at 45 minutes earlier. This cafe needs management. Track and trace might be busy from this venue. AVOID.

On a very busy day we were pleased to find a vacant table inside, with most diners sticking to the large outdoor garden. The menu was found online and ordering with orders taken an the till. our chosen bacon and sausage sandwich and prawn sandwich both met our expectations as did our cappuccino and latte. Prices were moderate and the staff worked fast and efficient to cater for a large throughput.

Called in early for breakfast- so good ww came back for lunch! Great COVID arrangements well organised. Ignore negative comments on this score. It was probably posted by the oldvcouple opposite us, if not one like them, who seemed to regard any COVID measure as an unnecessary bore!

only stopped for coffee after walking around the island. Service was good. We had latte coffees. Lovely and very hot

We had a quick stop here once we arrived on the Island. Clean tables and friendly staff. We had soup which was tasty and filled us nicely. We arrived just before closing at 2pm but they accommodated us and didn’t make us feel rushed.

Had a lovely lunch sharing the seafood platter from specials board- included dressed crab, half lobster, smoked salmon, chips, bread and salad. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

A haven. Lovely fresh scones. Lovely pots if tea. Recommendations where to eat. Must remember to pick up crab sandwiches, and come back for a Seafood Platter. Lovely staff, who couldn't be more helpful. Must come back. Well done.

My husband and I just spent the last 10 days eating breakfast or lunch at 1st Class Food. The owners are a lovely couple and the staff are sweet young people. We were lucky enough to find 1st Class Food on our first day at Lindisfarne. We split the seafood platter and it was glorious! Everything was so fresh. We later found out that they get fresh seafood daily straight from the fishermen. Lindisfarne is known for the crab, but they also have great lobster. I really enjoyed the lobster salad and my husband loved the crab cakes. Their crab cakes are SO much fresher and meatier than any I have tried before. It is very obvious that this is a labour of love for the owners. There is also a handy little shop that you can get most things, including local delicacies and fresh made sandwiches. I also should mention that 1st Class Food is very covid secure. We can't wait to go back next summer when we return to Lindisfarne.

Called today, couldn’t see a menu had to look online on our phones. Could understand this due to Covid and paper menus being unhygienic but the tables inside were really close together, people were queuing for the till to order right at the side of our table which made me feel uneasy. Just seemed chaotic. We left and went to another cafe up the road which was so much better organised and a lot cheaper.

Excellent food Dresses crab , lobster all delicious food A must visit on Holy island. Very nice atmosphere

Lovely cafe but the ordering point and one way system needs reviewing. All customers are entering following the one way system but the staff are walking in and out of both doors ignoring the signs. The ordering point is next to the blackboard but we were told to go outside and look at the menu on our phones online. Only one at a time to order yet everyone then has to squeeze past the lady taking the orders. She was quite rude shouting at us when we went back to find our table number and then had us walking around the entire sites one way system to get back out to the garden. Surely it would be so much easier to take a seat and the lady come and take the order from the table. She put the order through incorrectly, probably because she couldn’t hear us due to me wearing a mask and standing next to the coffee machine. The staff running around outside were doing a great job. Tables and chairs weren’t cleaned between customers. It wouldn’t take much to get these things sorted and it would be excellent.

called in yesterday while on a day trip to farne islands, pleased we did. We both had breakfasts, with tea and coffee, the breakfasts were lovely, well cooked, and plentiful. The place was busy, but we were served very quickly, by great staff, who never stopped. Will be back soon.

Walking past and clocked the gluten free options, doesn’t happen often so we popped in. It was very busy but the staff were very quick. 3 meals and drinks served quickly. The two Gluten free sandwiches were good. If you chose the GF sandwich make sure you ask for it toasted as the bread was a little dry, I don’t think this was the fault of the cafe it’s just the way some GF breads are. I had the holy Island crab sandwich and it was delicious, very fresh and meaty.

Enjoyed breakfast here. Good quality ingredients especially the bacon and sausage. Lovely area to sit outside. Have implemented social distancing measures very well.

4 of us went for a full breakfast and it was excellent. Good quality ingredients and good value for money; not cheap but fairly priced.I would definitely go back again.A separate area for people with dogs. They have implemented social distancing measures better than anywhere else we have been so far. One of the few places to put sanitiser outside the toilets so you can sanitise after touching the door. Obvious bot not thank places do it. The menu is online so they don't have to hand out menus.

Wow! Called in today to grab a bite to eat with my mum and gran. First time out since March for my gran. We all felt very safe and enjoyed our lunch, we all had soup and a cheese scone, the soup was broccoli & Stilton. It was absolutely amazing! Please send me the recipe! Scones were lovely, light and fluffy. The team that served me were all lovely and polite. Shout out to the young girl who was the runner today 29/9/2020. Very attentive and an asset to your team! We were sat in the shed on the patio, nice and sheltered also room to fold the wheelchair and put to the side. Coffee was nice too! Thank you for a lovely lunch!

I get that the locals/staff may resent tourists on the island, but I really don't want to hear quite how much whilst sat eating breakfast at your establishment (snide remarks etc); especially when I've paid good money. To be fair it was only the maitre d', as the other younger staff appeared quite appreciative of the trade. Food so so; two fried eggs on plate, one runny, one hard cooked? Will look elsewhere when we next return. Ate breakfast 20/07/2020

Excellent food, drinks & naughty deserts. Spotless inside and out. Great location and sun spot loads of bird flying around. When you arrive take look at the menu or look on there website find a table make a mental note of the table no., choose food pop inside sanitising available straight inside the door, let them know your table no. And give your food order within a fews mins your eating fab fresh food. The post office is well stocked to with great owners there to assist in your stay. We went each day whilst staying on the island super place.

Popped in for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it - especially the sausage baguette and sweet potato soup. Just the job ready for our long walk around the island. Staff very friendly and maintained social distancing. Cafe very clean

We arrived on the island early, and had been for a walk before finding this café. It was warm and welcoming, As well as a breakfast, my daughter had a home baked cheese scone, delicious!

The First Class Cafe, on Lindisfarne is so named because the post office is part of the establishment. It is unassuming on the outside but don't let that put you off. It is an excellent cafe serving delicious cakes, scones and wonderful homemade soup. It's perfectly situated at the end of the round island walk and near the public loos. V friendly service. We'll go there again next time we visit Lindisfarne. Round island walk: not suitable for buggies. beyond the Abbey, on the seaward side, turn left. Walk to the castle. Follow path to Vita Sackville West's garden and continue down towards the sea. Turn left again and walk along to the sand dunes. Here you may get lost! Turn inland and walk across the fields, back to the track turning towards the houses.

This little coffee shop provides home cooked food and a friendly service. The meme is varied and provides something for everyone . The breakfast seems very popular.

Great spot, just called in for a hot cuppa on a cold day today. Friendly, clean and great decaf coffee.

This cafe was a great little find for lunch on Lindisfarne. We expected it to be really expensive and average quality but the food was actually great and not over-priced, especially as they have you as a literally 'captive' audience during the part of the day when you can't leave the island because of the tides!Also, the first thing they asked was whether we were leaving before the tide came in so they look after their customers even before you order!!

On a sunny day in July I expected this to be a) full and b) pricey. This was the first stop prior to heading for a walk so had a good look at the menu over a leisurely coffee in their courtyard. At 1230 when I returned the cafe was still relatively quiet so decided on an early lunch and opted for the seafood salad which comprised 2 types of dressed crab, salmon and lobster (my first) with fries, salad and bread which represented excellent value. There is table service and a license to serve alohol. Service was friendly. Given it's location and the time of year (July) I expected the meal to cost twice what it did.

We visited on Monday 8th November. They had stopped doing lunches but drinks and cakes were available.The staff were efficient & pleasant. The scones were flat and dry! The pot of tea was welcome on a bitterly cold afternoon. The cost was just short of £10 for 2 cups of tea and 2 VERY DISAPPOINTING scones. We have had exceptionally good tea and freshly baked scones elsewhere on the island so we will not be back.

Visited on Sunday 3rd November for lunch.The service cannot be faulted with a warm welcome for both of us- and the dog!Despite the weather and the fact that dogs are welcome the place was clean and tidy.The food was all you would want a lunchtime- decent choice and well presented.WE WILL BE BACK.

Stopped for lunch - sandwiches were nice but probably not worth the £7.50 to be honest. Service was good.

Lovely sandwiches with unusual fillings and some toasted. We found it rather expensive for lunch but the food was excellent.

It was an awful day We called in for lunch and a respite from the weather What a lovely experience The seafood platter of lobster crab and salmon was exceptional It was a sharing meal with chips salad and bread Well presented and delicious I went into the takeaway part of the business and bought cheese and fruit scones to take home They too were excellent The staff were helpful The service was quick Super

We enjoyed our break on the island by stopping for some team and a bite to eat. The biscuits and cake were great.

Friendly, good coffee and a freshly made sausage and bacon roll. Piping hot and a treat on a wet day. Recommend with lots of other tempting things to try.

Had lunch a couple of weeks ago, soup and a crayfish and avocado ciabatta.

We had lunch here, pricey but well worth it. This is my second visit, last year with my husband, this year with my mum. This time I had the home made soup with local ham & mustard roll very tasty. Cakes are homemade & very tasty. The post office/shop attached to the restaurant also sells the Same cakes with a selection of hot/cold snacks. They also sell some very interesting books about the island and the way of life. So recommend eating here, we had no complaints on the filling or portion size

With covered outdoor seating that is perfect for dog owners, this cafe is certainly the best I have visited on Lindisfarne! With a perhaps small menu, but perfect very reasonably priced food, this cafe is a must! The service was very quick considering we had a large order that included delicious sandwiches and scones!

I and my daughter made mistake eating herec, crab sandwiches were filling very thinly and little bit salad. And £ 9,50.

Chatty, lovely staff in the post office introduced us to the lovely young fisherman who caught the crab. We made up our minds to return for food as we’d had such a good laugh with the staff. Oh my days! The crab sandwich was absolute perfection. Everything about 1st class food was excellent , we used the post office, ate and the had their delicious ice cream later in the day . Lovely people, great food . Highly recommend if you’re on Lindisfarne .

conveniently located in the centre of the village with two dfifferent eating areas inside in an older and modern setting and lots of outdoor eating space In both sun and shade for those sunnier days.

Firstly, I just want to apologise for accidentally clicking “Helpful review” that I can’t undo on the 1 star review left on 27 August, I was actually seeing if I could reply to it! They complain about not getting served by a waiter, but there are LITERALLY signs everywhere saying that you order at the till. You give your table number to the till person so if someone is clearing a table nearby it’s likely they would assume you’ve placed your order!

I visited the cafe yesterday at 4pm (a bank holiday Monday) and it was extremely busy.

We stopped here for lunch. A nice courtyard with several tables plus indoor seating. Serving staff were fantastic, friendly & efficient. Freshly prepared sandwiches were lovely, especially the crab. My husband's goats cheese salad was delicious. Relaxing place. Clean loos. Highly recommend.

I sat at a table and looked at the menu. Despite a waiter coming to my table twice he never made contact and didn’t take my order.

Friendly staff, delicious scones. The meals looked excellent too, although we didn’t partake. But it was a delightful stop, and the sun was shining!

Stopped for treat having just got back from Holy Island Castle. Delicious cheese scones. Delicious fruit scones with cream and jam. Only criticism, toilets did not have any toilet paper so we went over road to public toilets in the car park.

Great setting. Great menu choice & value! Staff helpful regarding allergies & friendly. Toilets extremely clean

Really tasty food. Two of us had the special; hot smoked salmon & cream cheese in a ciabatta with lovely salad and the other had ham & crunchy mustard with mayonnaise. To follow coffee locally ground in Berwick, chocolate brownie & a scone with jam & cream.

Local muito limpo, ótimo atendimento e internet rápida e grátis. Comi um brownie e tomei um delicioso café.

We were staying on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and knew we had a busy day planned, so before going out we bought take-away salads with quiche (sundried tomato and pesto) and crab. They kept well in the fridge and were great after a busy day. I would recommend buying early before they run out!!

This cafe is immaculately clean. It has nice comfortable seating and vey pleasant staff. They do a range of homemade cakes and hot food but we went for the bacon and eggs with toast for breakfast. Prompt service, decent portions and superbly cooked. I think it’s the best cafe on Holy Island. Recommend

Busy and popular is our description. Service was quick and the food good. Interesting purchases inside as well as normal coffee and snacks.
