Bede Bakehouse in Sunderland

Quick note before review. They only accept cash. I wanted to try it as it is a lovely setting and bakehouse. I went in at 10:30am and fancied some quiche off the menu. It wasn't ready (wasn't cooked). There really wasn't anything that made it a bakehouse on the day. I ended up having homemade broccoli and stilton soup and a old school corned beef toastie which was quite nice.

We popped into Bede's recently as we were passing through Sunderland to visit the Glass Centre. As we had a dog with us, this was a good place for one of us to grab a coffee whilst the other did the Glass Centre. Only guide/service dogs are allowed indoors but there was a table outside for dry days that would suit dog guardians. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and chatty. They brought water for the dog. It was so nice there that we stayed for lunch. Prices are incredibly low (for visiting southerners anyway). We included a tour of the church in our trip. A highlight of our longer visit to Northumberland and Tyne & Wear.

Este es un gran lugar - el personal es muy amable y los precios son más que razonables. Incluso mejor, usted puede tomar en su entorno histórico mientras estás allí. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

Fue tomada por un regalo de mi familia la comida era adorable y un montón de opciones para todos los gustos. Lugar encantador y el personal era muy amable, bien vale la pena.

Mi motivo de reflujo gastroesofágico 3 estrellas es la leche caliente no era tan decepcionante en mi primera visita la comida era adorable sabroso y el personal amable. En mi segunda visita me pareció que la comida era mediocre y el personal muy desagradable. El café sí es muy limpio y luminosas y espaciosas.

La comida es fantástica, con precios muy razonables y un personal amable. Yo tenía una visita guiada de la iglesia, por un hombre muy entendido y nos hizo la información interesante, gracias.

This is Sunderland's best kept secret. The Bede Bakehouse is in the Chapter House of the 7th Century St. Peter's Church,the place where the Venerable Bede started his studies in 680AD. We pop in at least once a week. Just a grand place to have lunch. It is mainly home cooked food and the prices are very good, main meals are between £2.75 and £3.50. There is a mixed menu, with at least one main meal, always a soup and crusty roll, various sweets and cakes and other snacks. Tea, coffee and other refreshments, but no alcohol. It is run by volunteers, who are really friendly. Just a smashing little place. You can usually get a guided tour of the church as volunteer guides are on duty most days. They have just completed a project in the grounds, laying out the shape of the original Mediaeval monastery. Only open at present on weekdays between 10.30am and 2pm, but they tell us they intend to extend the opening hours soon.
