What a fabulous place. Been looking forward to visiting since I found this cafe on Facebook. Highly recommend. Friendly staff and exceptional value for money. We will be back!

Visited Chare Ends Cafe on Saturday 31st August- I'd already googled Holy Island for places to have lunch and the seafood platters caught my attention. We ordered the Seafood board of the day for 2 people. It was absolutely lovely with an assortment of 8 different seafoods accompanied with side salad, brown bread & butter and a bowl of seafood dressing. People have commented on the cost of food, but at £25 for the quality and quantity, we thought this was very reasonable. We had wanted to finish off our meal with an ice cream, but didn't have room! We returned on our way back to the car park and again we were very happy with our choice of flavours.

Just nipped in for some ice cream as there was a steep ramp I could just about get my wheelchair up (manual chairs will struggle). Sadly there were bollards covering the cafe floor for the non existent que which meant I couldn't actually order for myself. Staff saw this but continued to ignore me. The kids had to order ice creams for us and I wasn't spoken to despite helping the kids order throughout - common occurrence when you're disabled.

We had a fantastic lunch here. Crab baguette, prawn baguette, raspberry and coconut slice and salted caramel, nut shortbread ( came recommended and did not disappoint). The food looked and tasted amazing. The staff were very friendly and the premises was very clean! It was gorgeous weather so we sat outside on the large wooden tables. It was a little pricey but a lot of tourist attractions are and considering that the businesses on Lindisfarne are dependent on the tide, it’s perfectly understandable. I would highly recommend Chare Ends Cafe and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

We visited for coffee and scones. The coffee was really nice but the cups were very small - for the price. The staff were lovely and helpful. The real disappointment was the scones which though quite large tasted like an average supermarket scone. Actually worse than some.

Why I bothered to stay I have no idea and would suggest you don’t even try it. There were numerous staff on duty but only one was serving, a lady who has forgotten how to smile, I waited patiently without her even acknowledging my presence. Eventually I ordered two coffees, which came out of a push button machine, I then asked if I could have 2 sausage rolls please, pricey at £4.00 each but we were hungry, at which point I was cordially advised they only serve breakfasts until 11.am. The time was now only 10.45, therefore No, I couldn’t have a sausage roll. So the sausage rolls remained under there clingfilm, together with sandwich’s etc and there they would remain until the stroke of 11.am. The coffees were vile by the way. It then all made sense, I’d heard another group trying to negotiate a selection of sandwiches etc to takeaway for a picnic and the gentleman assistant was doggedly telling them they would not be served until 11.am - they left . The award of least friendly, most unhelpful cafe should be awarded to this establishment.

The food here is of really excellent quality although on the expensive side the cafe atmosphere is inviting and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

We visited Holy Island reliant on the times of the tide. We arrived expecting Pilgrims Cafe to be open but it closed at 12pm though not advertised. We ended up going to Chare Ends as this was the only place open. Didn't realise they were on the point of closing when we ordered 4 panini's and 4 hot drinks but boy didn't they make it obvious. Clearing up around us and putting the blinds down and locking the doors. 4 average paninis and drinks cost £51.00, worst experience of the holiday.

Had tea, cappuccino and a fruit scone which were okay. Cafe could maybe do with a bit brightening up but okay and pleasant staff.

While visiting Holy Island ( Lindisfarne) my wife an I happened upon the Chare Ends cafe, on entering we ordered a hot drink and sat down. On finishing our drink we decided to purchase a sandwich to take out, my wife ordered a ham salad myself a ham and cheese. When our order came I almost had a heart attack at the price £8.50 each, mine however turned up toasted and not just a plain paint. After stating a minor miss communication to the staff, a woman who I can only describe as a reincarnation of Eva Braun turned up stating she was the manager. When I tried to explain the problem I was ORDERED not only to leave the cafe but also the Island, I think she may have thought she own the whole island. What ever happened to the customer is always right I honestly do not know, bu if that is how this person treats those who complain I wouldn't recommend visiting at all.

Crazy prices, £8 for a ham sandwich which I refused to pay, so I got the kids ham sandwich for £4. All it was 2 slices of bread, butter and some ham inside. Never ever going back

The cafe was very busy but we managed to find a table inside. We all ordered soup and rolls to start with and although the broccoli and stilton soup was very tasty, it was also only lukewarm and what butter was on my roll was melted in and looked very unappetising. We asked for the soup to be heated up and a replacement roll for me...this was done but no apology offered. We were very disappointed and left without ordering hot drinks or other food.

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat on a day trip to Lindisfarne Priory. I was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the service friendly and efficient during a lunchtime rush. Highly recommend the seafood salads or the kipper sandwich (served warm in stottie, dripping with butter.

I’d researched where to eat prior to visiting Holy Island and found this little gem of a place on Facebook. Their seafood platters and menu looked fantastic. It was busy even on a Thursday lunchtime. I ordered the crayfish and prawn bowl and a pot of tea. It was delicious and welcomed after a morning of exploring the island. Friendly staff and great prices!

We had the crab sub and the prawn and crayfish sub, we split them, and both were absolutely delicious. Nice buns and salad accompaniment. We had ice cream after, too. I definitely recommend the banoffee, so tasty! It was a lovely day, so we sat outside with our dog.

Having seen the seafood platters advertised we decided to try one during our two week stay on the island. We actually ordered two of differing sizes to be collected on separate days. Staff were very helpful with choosing our selection and quantities. The platters were amazing, very fresh, plentiful and extremely well presented....... in fact the family enjoyed them so much we had a third one to share with friends at who visited at the end of the holiday. Can't wait for our next visit to have one again.

We went to have tea and cakes at Chare Ends Cafe and they had a great range of all sorts of cakes and traybakes and the best range of gluten free cakes I have ever seen and they tasted great!!! Other food looked good too, particularly filled baguettes and bagels. Nice outdoor area as well as inside and dog friendly.

Very disappointed with the food, we both had goats cheese and marmalade paninis. Was so much marmalade they were almost impossible to pick up. The tables were filthy, no effort made by the staff to clear or clean them. Food was served in paper chip trays. For the price it was very disappointing all round

Amazing food and friendly staff, beautiful setting on the Amazing Holy Island. Don't miss it if you are visiting the Island you won't be disappointed.

After queuing for ages we finally got served! I had been so looking forward to a local crab sandwich. I paid £9.50 and it was given me in a polystyrene container! (They’re obviously not interested in saving the planet!)The crab had been brushed on and then off the bread! The salad was lettuce, tomato and cucumber! It was the most disappointing sandwich I have ever had! The latte was tiny and cost £3 and wasn’t even barista made! Don’t recommend this place at all- although the cakes looked nice! It was very expensive for not good. I wish I’d bought a £4.50 sandwich from the stand in the car park when we arrived on the island- they were full of crab.

On arrival at Lindisfarne and having checked into our accommodation, we visited here for a coffee. It was really busy, but we manged to find a table which someone was just vacating. We asked for two cappuccinos but what I feel we actually got were really two flat whites with some froth on top.

So disappointed!! We had hoped to enjoy a simple breakfast as a family driving across from seahouses for Sunday breakfast and walk around the island. Of the 5 things ordered four came out incorrectly. Additionally the food was cold and was not very tasty. The staff tried their best but seemed like they hadn’t had any training so unfortunately struggled to delivered much of anything. Keep walking.

We stopped by here once for ice cream and once for cake. The pastry cabinet is TO DIE FOR! Lots of tempting treats. There is lots of seating inside and out and the line moves quickly.

This was a total disastererous lunch at Rosemarys. There is no sign to tell you to order at counter and pay, the staff just look at you!!!. I ordered 2 fruit scones 1 plain scone and a tomato soup. Cappuccino and Latte and decaf Cappucino. Paid £29.00 very expensive, as I actually never got one of the fruit scones. The two girls serving seem very disinterested in serving the customers and I couldnt see who was doing the cooking in the cupboard!. I received one of the coffees and it was stone cold, asked for it to be heated & think they just microwaved it as came back in same cup!!. Soup was served without my fruit scone, it was actually ok, but I will not be returning any time soon. And to top it all they do not have customer toilets!!!!! what kind of a cafe is this!!!!! 😡😡😡

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.
