Bardon Mill Village Store and Tea Room in Northumberland

What a great little store,rare these days to have friendly service, good tea,cakes and a good range of local magazines and general food stuff

Lovely local shop, good coffee and delicious cake. Really good find. Worth a stop after visiting the Pottery across the road

Visited here a couple of times when on holiday, cakes and tray bakes are lovely . Nice tea and coffee. Staff are friendly . A small shop which is well stock with essentials, newspapers and gifts. Dog friendly too !

This was the first time in visiting this unique tea rooms in Bardon mills...the proprietor was friendly and helpful and the coffee and cakes were brilliant 😀 We'll be back!!!

What an amazing little gem tucked away in the village of Bardon Mill. We all had soup and a toastie and they were absolutely delicious; just what we needed after a 7 mile walk.

Village shop with food. Friendly staff and good service. Cheese scones didn't seem very cheesy. Tables inside and outside if weather is kind.

Love this place,the owner Michael is great nothing is too much trouble,great coffee,food and beautiful cake too.There are nice gifts to buy also and general groceries

We visited the tea room today and I had a cheese toastie purely on the recommendations of others on Trip Advisor and I was not disappointed!! Very yummy and it came with crisps and salad. Also had a great little hot chocolate! Would definitely visit again.

This is a well-run and well stocked village store, which had everything that we needed for our cottage rental, including wines and ales. Good coffee shop also with a varied range of lunch eats, recommended if you need to stock up for a cottage stay.

Perfect for leisurely morning coffee .Newspapers to buy and village green if weather is fine ! Try the toasties for a tasty savoury snack.

We visited this tea room on recent day out. As we entered a man pushed past us carrying a tray of food,this turned out to be the man in charge. When he came back we asked should we place an order at the counter or was there table service. He told us to sit down but didn't have time to serve us in a very rude manner. We did sit for a while and he was right he didn't serve us so we left. I can understand someone being busy but not to the point of being downright rude ,so unfortunately even if the food had been good, this bad experience outweighed everything else.

A great find off the main A69. Good food and service after a walk along the South Tyne river. Interesting pottery across the road and railway station nearby

Brill coffee, great food- brill service 👍👍👍Excellent eating place also local shop- local and no nonsense😎😎

We had read good things about the Village Store and Tea Room, so called in for an early lunch and were really pleased to find delicious food and a warm welcome. It’s a wonderful village store and coffee shop with arty things for sale and the owner/person running the place was very engaging. Lovely home-made lentil soup, cheese scones and excellent toasties. We will return to sample the cakes…Don’t just call in if you happen to be passing - go out of your way to visit!

Cycling holiday lunch stop. What a great local store and cafe. Delicious coffee, toasties and scones. Heartwarming to see this little gem thrive. Give it a try.

Called in as we were passing. Had coffee and cake which was very nice indeed. A little hidden gem make sure you call in if in the area.

The atmpsphere in the village store is lovely - usually has local people enjoying a chat and coffee as well as visitors to the village. All are made very welcome. The owner goes out of his way to take care of people and be very welcoming. It serves a range of drinks and snacks and stocks basic foods and household goods. It is a very pleasant place to stop when travelling along the A69.

I spend a lot of time around Northumberland these days so I'm always looking out for nice places to get a snack and a cup of coffee. The charming village of Bardon Mill is centred on a pottery making pots of every shape and size: garden figures, planters and chunky ornamentals are for sale. The Village Store and Tearoom is situated right opposite so it makes a good destination for an afternoon out if you're staying nearby. Hexham and Haltwhistle are within easy reach so are Hadrian's Wall, the Roman sites at Vindalanda and Corbridge and the Sill Landscape Discovery Centre. The Bardon Village Store is particularly special as the present owner has turned it round from its former state into a brilliant combination of general shop, tasteful gift shop, mini art gallery (some excellent local views) and tea shop. And believe me, their cheese toasties are the best ever - beautifully cooked and they don't skimp on the good quality cheese. Positively the Prince of Toasties!

The food was fresh, home cooked and very tasty, the service friendly and the prices very reasonable.

Stopped here for breakfast to break up journey on the A69. Map showed Starbucks as next place but spotted the road sign and very glad we stopped off here instead. There were a small number of parking spaces directly outside and and some outdoor seating. Friendly service, great toasties and a hot cuppa.

So glad I stopped here for cake and bananas to fuel my ride yesterday! Great shop, friendly welcome and amazing cake! :-)

My kids really wanted a treat and I took them here for a cake which they really enjoyed chosing. It is a small pretty shop with good choice and with nice staff

Stopped here for lunch after looking round pendle village mill ,busy always always a good sign.quick servie and nice food ,good selection.

We enjoyed a lovely tea break. Indoor seating. Table service. Good range of cakes and hot drinks. Just what we needed at the end of a day’s hiking and before we caught the train. Good value for money. If catching the train to Carlisle allow 10 mins to walk to the right platform.

staying in area for a few days was reccomended by owners , nice soup ,toasties, coffee ,cake pleasant friendly owners decent prices

They where very helpful lovely little place and you can sit on the green lovely cakes and hot drinks

Visited today for a quick drink lovely village shop and tea room coffee and toasties were amazing sat on the picnic tables on the green

Nice coffee, friendly owner. The deli food looked really nice, the shop had some local products and general essentials.

We were looking for Bardon Pottery and saw this lovely village store with cafe across the road and ventured in where there was great music (Steely Dan) and ambience, we had superb coffees and cake and witnessed all the comings and goings of village characters, milk delivery and regular visitors. A great spot.

A warm and friendly atmosphere, varied and wholesome food and drink options, Michael is a natural host.

Called in here for lunch. Really nice place. It was cold and raining outside and the Teashop was lovely cosy and welcoming. There was quite an extensive snack menu with soup, pannis, sandwiches, scones and cakes. I opted for he soup which was really lovely, a spicy curried lentil mix. My mum opted for the toasted cheese and onion sandwich which came with crisps and a side salad and was really nicely presented. We both had fruit teas. Service was really good and the proprietor was very pleasant. This is a really well stocked shop as well with some nice locally made gifts, including pottery, soaps and art work. Bill came to £10 for two lunches and two teas. Good value. Well worth a visit.

Went for walk on old frosty morning returned to cafe for hot drink. Staff helpful. Toasted tea cakes looked tasty. Well worth a visit.

Six of us dropped in for a lunchtime snack. Great toasties, served with salad and crisps. Lovely friendly service, and just had to buy some delicious cakes to take home.

Lovely and unusual little local store with tables for lunch. We only had a coffee but the food such as toasties and cakes looked delicious. The coffee and hot chocolate was very good and warmed us through after a chilly walk along Hadrians Wall. Will definitely return for lunch when next in the area.

Very busy when we called but the food was lovely. The tea room s comfortable and dog friendly. We were made very welcome and. Would definitely recommend.

Visited 3 times this week as we are staying at nearby YHA, excellent for snacks , newspapers/milk etc . Very friendly staff and very popular with locals and vistors

A warm welcoming cafe/shop used by locals and tourists alike. Dogs welcome and gluten free options. I really liked its quirky mix of village shop and cafe. The man behind the counter was amazing juggling orders and making sure everyone got what they needed.

Excellent place to stop for coffee and snack or lunch. Just off A69 at Bardon Mill. Excellent soup and scones. Highly recommended.

Excellent coffee and friendly service. Good choice of sandwiches, scones and cakes. Well worth a visit.

Just popped in for a take away sandwich and stopped for coffee and a cheese scone. Nice little shop with a good selection of goods. There is also a good selection of teas, coffees and cakes.

Absolutely top coffee, and good scones. Great little spot for a pit stop off the A69. Plenty of cafe food available, and a friendly lady behind the counter.

What a fab place this is. Well stocked shop with an interesting variety of gifts and a tearoom. We enjoyed cheese and ham toasties presented with crisps and salad leaves. The toasties were well filled and absolutely delicious. Followed this with a generous slice of cake which was delightful. Thoroughly recommend this place if you’re in the area. Great value for money. Looking forward to returning later in the year.

The Cafe is in a great spot for cyclists and walkers. Friendly owner who serves excellent coffee cakes and snacks

Love this place, Michael the owner really values his customers.Had a lovely lunch, the toastie are the best we've tasted anywhere and if you like Jaffa orange cake smothered in chocolate this is the place for you.The coffee is great too.

I visited the shop simply to purchase bin bags but my word, what an amazing place!

We hadn't had breakfast and had been to see a house so wanted time to think. Lovely coffee and superb cakes and traybakes. Friendly people and quite obviously very popular with local people as well as passing trade such as us. Great find.

Fell apon this tea room and local store in the heart of the village by accident. Lovely scone and tea cake. Lots of different tray bakes and cakes on offer plus soup and toasties. Reasonably priced and only 5 mins walk from train station. Friendly service. Would def return if in the area again.

Smashing little tea shop in a lovely village. The guy serving was very friendly and polite. The food was faultless. Amazing little place.

Such a fantastic little teashop in a lovely village. The lady was so welcoming and we all really enjoyed our toasties and beans on toast along with a good few pots of tea, followed by delicious cakes. Such great service and a friendly welcome for us all. This is exactly what every little village needs.

We were served beautiful coffee and cakes by a very friendly man who made us feel very welcome. in fact the coffee was so nice we had a second cup.

What a lovely little place to visit,you can eat in or takeaway,we choose to take away,the guy is very nice ,very helpfull and polite,the food is very nice and very reasonable,my mrs opted for takeaway Latte and said it was lovely,we had pies and cake both were lovely,if you are in the area i would reccomend you visit this place,overall a lovely little shop/tearoom i would return.

Just 15-20 minutes from Hexham. We fancied a run out for coffee and cake.

Called in for late lunch. Although the cafe was closing the owner very kindly allowed us to stay for a hot drink and toastier. Both my wife and I thought that they were the best toastier we’ve had anywhere. Can’t wait to go back

A superb find. Really lovely tearoom in the busy hub of the village shop. Owners just lovely and made us feel really welcomed. Cake great and tea perfect. Thank you.

This is a great place to stop for lunch , snacks and a good village store. This store is the heart of the community. Michael and his colleagues are most welcoming taking an interest in his regulars and passers bye.

Stopped here for a quick coffee and have visited here before for afternoon tea, both visits were great with good coffee and friendly service in this lovely village shop with a cafe ...well worth a visit.

Good strong coffee, great toasties, friendly service, an ideal stop if you're travelling as well. Sadly we didn't take advantage of the exciting sounding loo. But we did get a lovely garden pot from over the road.

After visiting the pottery we decided to eat here. We were made to feel welcome and our vegetarian needs were well met. Really tasty panini and a great coffee. In addition there was local crafts and food on sale. So glad we decided to stop.

This is one place we visit every time we're in Northumberland, and it never fails. Yes, it's quite small, but the owners always manage to fit you in when it's busy, and the home made cakes are not to be missed. A great selection of savoury dishes are on offer for lunch-time too, all at remarkably reasonable prices. Our thanks go to Michael and staff for always extending a warm welcome.

A welcome stop if driving on the A69. We really just needed a comfort break, but decided to have a snack lunch. This was served to our table outside, just sandwiches with salad and a hot drink, but good quality and reasonably priced.

I visit this place every couple of months and I love it.Today it was very busy, but the two ladies looked after us.The food and drink were excellent as usual.Brilliant staff to match a brilliant place.

Not sure if we had an unusually bad experience but this is not somewhere I would return to in a hurry. If I want to be patronised and made to feel small I can probably find the experience free of charge locally rather than drive out of my way to this place.

We called in here on our way to Northumberland in April apologies for late review !! We really enjoyed our sandwiches & pot of tea Before we left we used the toilets Believe me I have yet to see the amount of toiletries for babies !! Impeccably clean & far superior to many of our department stores !! Well worth a visit

We came upon this little tea shop during our slightly lost, desperately hungry drive towards home.... it was officially closed, BUT the lovely owner saw us at the door, welcomed us in and made us lunch and big pots of tea! We were so grateful. It was delicious, big portions and great value too! Highly recommend.

Just wanted a cup of tea and piece of cake. This was the perfect place with nice choice and pleasant service. Plenty of other snacks available along with the usual things you find in a village store.

Great place to stop on a trip out on the bike from Hexham. Excellent service and food. Shall visit again. Far quiter than the Starbucks on the main road, which feels like a service station

Every time I visit here the standard is excellent.Great food, coffee and cakes.I buy provisions from the well stocked shop and there is a magazine stand with a good choice.Highly recommended.

Took the long way home from Newcastle back to Durham and ended up st Bardon Mill. The Village Store and Tea Room, friendly welcome (Michael) great coffee and the “biggest caloried cheese n onion toasties we have ever had. Great coffee, great food and a good price .

Food was surprisingly good! Owner is very friendly. Ideal place for a quick bite! Would highly recommend for coffee, tea and lunch.

Onderweg van Schotland naar Newcastle aten we hier een heerlijke lunch. Alles was vers en super lekker!

Lovely place very friendly. Good coffee and cakes . Well worth a visit for a sandwich with friends or just to watch the world go buy. Lovely touch , blankets with outside seating

Dropped in for a coffee and slice of tiffin - very nice coffee. Neat tidy little shop full of interesting things to buy. Toilet very pleasant and characterful! Was in the village whilst visiting Hadrian's Wall and wanted to see Bardon Mill as my granny spent some time there regularly to visit a friend in the 70s!

My partner and I popped in for a quick bite to eat on our drive to Scotland. We received lovely service and enjoyed two bowls of delicious soup. Lots of options for vegetarians and delicious cakes on display!

Drove here after a decent walk along Hadrian's wall in wind and rain. Passed The Sill, but didn't like the look of their menu (a bit too fancy and expensive). There's a simple selection of reasonably priced meals here. The soup was lovely as were the toasties. The cakes looked great too. The service was excellent and the lady who was there was really friendly and chatty. Would definitely recommend!

Super friendly characterful village shop, great coffee ( haven't eaten there) and lots of things for sale made locally. Great place to pick up a gift, well worth a quick detour off the A69

Love this place, they serve great coffee and beautiful cakes, in fact all of the food is lovely.I also visit to buy goods like flour, which they stock Doves and Marriages flours which you find hard to source in the supermarkets.If your a home baker these flours produce superior bakes.The owner is so helpful and friendly.They also sell pottery and other gifts and some groceries and great cheeses.

We'd never been before until yesterday, and what a lovely place it is. We were able to bring the dog in, box of toys for the kids, great friendly service and lovely cake and drinks. We'll definitely be returning.

Coffee and cake with friendly service. A charming environment where you could shop for supplies and gifts. Well done and...

Had excellent coffee...a generous mug...in pleasant cafe within village store. Friendly service and spotlessly clean loo! Wide range of cakes...

We enjoyed a warm welcome and good food at this little tea room and village stores after long walk. Would...

Nice little tea room opposite the pottery. Made us and the dogs very welcome. Ideal little stop just a minute off the A69.

Drinking latte coffee in peacefull tranquil setting warm & friendly staff thanks to Geeta cakes & pastries

This is primarily a small shop. It has a couple of tables inside & outside. It's located well as there isn't really an alternative in the village so it's good for walkers to stop off for basic toasties / soup. The staff were nice to chat & the coffee was strong .

Open for ( almost) all hours, great coffee and service. Well stocked shop. Very convenient.(we were staying at nearby Beltingham, and it was a pleasant walk with our granddaughter and dog.

3rd visit here love this place.The toasties are beautiful and the cakes gorgeous also great coffee.Will always make a visit here.

We stopped into this little store/tea shop on Bank Holiday Monday and were delighted with both the welcome and the quality of the food. Both had carrot and coriander soup with plenty of toasted bread - really delicious. Highly recommended.

Mike the owner has a quaint little tearoom with a lovely ,friendly atmosphere where my grandchildren enjoy their hot chocolate with marshmallows.xxWe also love his scones and latte ,The cakes are delicious xxThank you xx grandma,Kieran and Jamie xx

Called here for lunch after a walk in the hills around Vindolanda. Michael was very welcoming and friendly, and I was surprised at the range of sandwiches etc on the blackboard menu. I had a toasted ciabatta with cheese pepperoni & jalapenos - it was very good. The excellent reviews are well deserved - great tea and coffee, smashing toasties and a generous salad - not just a few leaves.

We came across this lovely little shop and cafe by chance as we were in the area and needed lunch. The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. My partner had soup and a cheese scone which were lovely. I had a tuna and cheese ciabatta- so tasty! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the sunshine, eating our lunch. It's a well stocked little shop too with essentials with some local arts and crafts for sale too.

We were passing as had visited pottery and saw the village shop was Also a cafe. The owner allows dogs inside, it was a cold day. Only has a few tables, Also a post office, village shop and a few gifts. Really nice cups of coffee and we had a bit if cake that was fresh and tasty. Would stop here again if visiting the area.

We were driving round the villages looking for a bite to eat and came across this lovely village store offering a lovely range of lunch time food at very reasonable prices. This was just what we were looking for. We all selected the potato and leak soup which came with three chunks of delicious lightly toasted fresh bread. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful and the whole experience was delightful.

We arrived in the village in the evening and noticed the closed sign on the door. However a passer-by advised us to enter the shop anyway as we would not be turned away. Sure enough the proprietor was happy to serve us. The prices were quite high but that's to be expected in a little village shop with not much nearby.

We stopped on our journey from Newcastle to Scotland, having travelled this route often. On this occasion my husband was caught short and we saw the sign post for Bardon Mill so took the exit to it. We had left Newcastle not having breakfast so had a coffee and shared a toastie. The coffee was great quality... great cappuccino and Americano ... and the toastie was served piping hot - flavoursome cheese and ham; friendly and efficient service. Simple enough food and drink you may say, but believe me... we have had our fair share of rubbish!The store is quaint - used for the locals for groceries but also stocked with gifts and novelties. The 5/5 hygiene rating didn't go unnoticed either and we will definitely be stopping here on our future travels rather than the garden centre near Hexham - which though ok, is not a patch on this wee gem!

Stopped for excellent lunch; friendly host and locals; funny banter; great value; will certainly be back.

Lovely place, toasted sandwiches very tasty coffee great but the jaffa orange cake was stunning.Incuded in the building a nice general store.

Barton mill is quite a small village but the village store and tea room was excellent. The owner was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. Service was efficient and we loved our toasted sandwiches served with salad leaves tomatoes and plenty of crisps. Value for mo eye was also very good. This was a great place to stop on the Hadrian cycle way route 72!!

This has been one of the most comforting visits ever. I stopped in for a hot chocolate with my partner and it was amazing quality. I personally recommend getting it with cream and marshmallows

Tea shop and local chop just off the A69...must have bypassed it a thousand times en route elsewhere. A real find...friendly owner, tasty snacks and cakes, well used by local people, local interest info and crafts available. Well worth a very minor detour and right opposite local pottery with excellent garden and other pots (Errington Reay).

Stopped here a few times and always left satisfied great food and selection best crisps ever and a ginger cake you would die for, fab service highly recommended

Take the left turn off the A69 west of Haydon Bridge and the store is facing you opposite the pottery chimney. Ample parking outside an a friendly and active greeting indoors after all it is the local shop. Choice of food limited but the toasted breakfast flat bread is an ample and delicious choice served with good real coffee which I just had to have a second cup. Cafe and shop were equally busy during our visit a great little enterprise. Well done.
