Granary Bistro in Northumberland

Called in for quick lunch, despite bieng nearly empty service was dreadful, tables not clean, staff were too busy chatting about themselves to bother with customers ! Had a toastie which was very average and they forgot my coffee! Shame as its a very cool space which could be a great venue.

Well it would have been nice to be able to review the food here, as I called en route to the excellent Ann Redpath exhibition upstairs. I was soaked to the skin due to heavy rain and desperate for a coffee. However I stood for 5 minutes at the counter as the two staff studiously avoided any eye contact and did not even speak to me. A "be with you in a moment" would have been courteous. I was so puzzled I actually asked whether there was table rather than counter service, and was firmly told "no" with a couple of scowls. After a few more moments I simply left on the basis that my custom was not welcome. I will not be back.

Not visited for many years. Tucked away so you have to know how to find it. Delicious carrot and coriander soup with sour dough roll and butter...yum!

Big up the welcome from these guys after we and our puppy got soaked in the pouring rain trying to get a meal in four other places. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and even cooked us something that was not on the evening menu!

Menu after 5pm is predominantly nachos. A disappointment I asked if there was anything else - such as gouging advertised- was told they were on day time menu only.

We were staying at the youth hostel, where the full English breakfast was excellent. At lunchtime they have burgers & pizzas, & there is an interesting selection of cakes too.

Visited whilst on holiday. The YHA is tucked away but close to the Premier Inn and accessible both from the town walls and Bridge Street. We enjoyed a coffee and cake in a relaxed and roomy setting - the price for combined coffee and Orange and Poppyseed Cake was modest - under £4. We enjoyed our visit, and were hosted by a friendly and helpful member of staff.

Part of the Youth Hostel and near the river in Berwick, although the menu is somewhat limited, what they do, they do well. No scones though, unfortunately. Prices are also very reasonable, and there is a car park directly outside. Staff are also pleasant and helpful.

Had a lovely stay at the granary bistro staff was so welcoming and helpful. Got a nice fry up Breakfast in morning for £6 with coffee or tea which I thought was a good price. Would definitely recommend staying 👌

Great cafe with plenty of seating both in and out ( in warmer weather!). Plenty of choice of hot,cold or alcoholic drinks. Plus cake, snacks and pizzas. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly - just when you would expect for YHA, who run the cafe. I had the cake & hot drink offer. Hot chocolate is super hot ( great, normally it’s disappointing in other places and served lukewarm) and the chocolate cake moist and tasty. The staff are the main plus, friendly and welcoming.

We stumbled across this whilst walking the walls and needing a sit down. It was short staffed so they werent cooking any food just serving coffee and cakes. We had cappuccinos and husband had a cake which he enjoyed. The atmosphere is very relaxed and you could sit there as long as you wanted. Lots of groups of friends just chatting.We went back on our last day and they were still short staffed so had another coffee and cake. I sat there and read my book while husband went to bookshop. If we lived nearer this would definitely be our regular coffee shop

really enjoyed the ambiance here. good wifi, nice selection of tea and coffee and some delicious cake.

needed a quick meal after a long day out of Berwick and chose a simple baked potato with cheese and salad, good portions, tasty and hot, then rather pigged out on a delicious chunk of orange cake....

Easy to miss tucked away down alleyway, but it’s a little gem and no doubt profits go to support the YHA. The food was good and the staff were very pleasant. The outside area is a haven of tranquility from which you can access the riverside walk. Somewhere I would definitely return.

Great spot to spend a bit of time away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. Reasonable prices in a lovely spot. What more can you want.

This is the Granary Cafe Ology at YHA Berwick. Nice looking premises so stopped in for a soup/roll lunch. Waited over 15 mins from placing order (and paying) to the soup arriving, which was utterly tasteless. Waste of time and money.

My mum took me out for a coffee after being in town all morning. The place is slightly hidden away and you wouldn't expect it to be there, but it is nice inside and I had a very enjoyable panini. She also mentioned that it serves an excellent breakfast so I look forward to coming back to try this.

We love the fact that this building houses the Granary Bistro a YHA and a fine Art Gallery - very cool. A really pleasant chilled place to eat. Its more a cafe+ than a bistro. Food is consistently nice, but avoid the tasteless soups.

This is a very good eating place. the menu is varied, the food tasy and fresh and the service friendly and brisk. Great location in the centre of town and good for pre-film meals too

I had the soup which was not very nice .My partner had nachos - the helping was generous but the guacamole was horrible ,slimy and tasted nothing like avocado- I suspect it was out of a jar or tub ,long -life ,convenience stuff. The tomato salsa was no better and even the sour cream didn't taste fresh. It is not difficult to make fresh guacamole and salsa!The service was the only good thing , from a charming lad ,Oscar.

Fab surroundings lovely YHA Staff good low priced food before we visited the Turner Exhibition upstairs. Will be our eating place in Berwick when visiting again.

Stayed at the Youth Hostel. What a great space this bistro is with indoor and outdoor seating and a warm welcome! Service always with a smile and helpful. Would recommend both the hostel and the bistro

We found tis quite by accident when were killing time having returned a car and waiting for the train. A superb location, well furnished and with excellent food and drink. Great value for money and work seeing out.

Nice friendly staff with value for money food and drinks. The service was quick and the food simple but very tasty, the gluten free chocolate fudge cake was the best I've had! Beautifully renovated old building, there was a free Turner exhibition on in the gallery upstairs which was a nice bonus.

Went in primarily to see the art exhibition upstairs but stopped in for a coffee. Lovely space, helpful staff; will be back again.

We were peckish after walking the walls of Berwick. The Bistro is in the foyer and reception area of the local art gallery which also doubles as the local YHA.

Been to see the Turner exhibition and decided to stop off for a Hot chocolate and cake.

Everyone should love this bistro. The food was delicious especially the chips. The building looks great. The service was so fast. It wasn’t busy at all. Everyone enjoyed it. Really reasonable prices. I would love to come here again.

here you can find a menu to sit any palet, lots of drink choices, freindly staff and happy to serve. nice atmosphere and an expereince just waiting to happen

This is a friendly cafe in the ground floor of the YHA youth hostel off Bridge Street in Berwick. There is limited parking outside (free as everywhere in Berwick). The food is tasty and (very) plentiful and the cakes delicious. And best of all dogs are very welcome. It’s so warm I’m not sure I’ll ever venture outside again.

Beim Bistro handelt es sich nicht um Gastronomie im klassischen Sinn. Der Gastraum ist das Foyer einer Jugendherberge, die meisten der Gäste sind Reisende, die in der Jugendherberge übernachten und keine Lust aufs Kochen haben. Dies soll aber den Eindruck, den das Bistro gemacht hat, nicht trüben.

Had a lovely cheese and tomato panini and latte for lunch and enjoyed as always the art exhibition upstairs

We usually just call in for their lovely coffee but decided on having lunch this time. Excellent variety for vegetarians, we had falafel, mozzarella and roast veg panini. Delicious, and it was served with side salad and coleslaw. A shame we had no room left for cake! Excellent service and atmosphere too.

This is certainly not the type of eating establishment I'd normally entertain (food snob alert). We came upon it simple to escape the sun and let our dogs have a rest in the shade. We only planned to have a drink but decided the light bite selection would be a good idea to try. 3 small dishes between us. The food was lovely. The spicy coated chicken was extremely succulent, would highly recommend that!! We opted out of the nachos as the serving was huge. Pleasant staff and clean facilities.

Been here twice for breakfast and it's good. They have veggie and meat options for breakfast and lunch. Its possible to find a quiet corner, or large groups and I've noticed they have toys and books for little children.

Called in as it was just off the The Elizabethan Walls we had just wondered around since it was a lovely day.

We have lunch here on many occasions and have always enjoyed it. The Granary serves a range of casual dishes at very reasonal prices. I usually have a jacket potato with cheese and beans and it is always well cooked and served with a very nice fresh salad. Staff and welcoming and the place has a very pleasant atmosphere as it is located on the ground floor of a building which is a Hostel and a really interesting gallery. Tables are well spaced and there are some comfortable armchair seats as well as upright ones. It is a good place to meet someone for a chat with good food and no disturbance.

Good lunch, jackets, salads, soup and paninis, pleasant staff, food good and came quickly enough, good selection and drinks

Aparecimos para un aperitivo, sopa, pero idealmente algunos quedamos con café y pasteles.

El Granero es un buen ejemplo de un edificio reciclado. Ahora dispone de un albergue juvenil, una galería y una cafetería. Si quieres una sopa sabrosa y un rollo caliente este es el lugar para usted. También podrá disfrutar de encontrar tu camino a través de los pasadizos oscuros al entrar y salir.

Friendly service, a good choice of reasonably priced light meals and a central location make this a family friendly environment.

Café aquí hace un par de años y decidí probar para el almuerzo. Una idea tan buena. La comida era deliciosa, había una hamburguesa falafel y patatas fritas. Las patatas fritas eran maravillosos - red hot, crujientes por fuera, blandas y suaves en el interior y muchas de ellas!

You can choose from full English breakfast or continental breakfast OR you can have both. Plenty to choose from.....think there was 5 different cereals, 3 fruit juice, milk, yogurt, brown or white bread to toast. Very enjoyable.

Sólo por las paredes y cerca del río este café está en una excelente ubicación. El café era excelente y el queso y col sandwich tan bueno que tenía que tener otro! Servicio amable, wifi, limpia y cómoda, muy práctico para un paseo alrededor de las paredes. Un excelente café en una ciudad muy bonita.

Leímos un buen comentario aquí, así que fuimos por haberlo hecho, el desayuno era bueno volvimos para más, la comida era buena y barata, acceso gratuito a internet para arrancar un fantástico lugar debe probar esto si visita Berwick

Fuimos a aquí para un bien merecido chocolate caliente y pastel, sofás cómodos con un ambiente agradable y delicioso chocolate caliente.

Just off Bridge street and available for tourists,and locals. The bistro is part of the YHA facilities and has all the modern facilities for residents and visitors to the town. Breakfast,Lunch and evening meal menus . Lots of snacks soups salads panini's baked potatoes and set menus to choose from .I had the cauliflower soup which was delicious followwed by goats cheese and chutney panini and to finish large cheese scones from the good variety of baking on the counter. The Latte coffee very tasty too .Lovely table seating inside and out as well as lounge sofas and chairs Wines and beers on sale too . Great place for meeting and families to dine Thoroughly recommend this Bistro for those visiting Berwick . Great facility for cyclists and walkers passing through and needing a nights accomodation at reasonable pricing .

Good scottish fry up! Nice staff and a good price too. Order in advbance if the hostel is quiet to ensure they have everything you want.

I found this by chance whilst walking around the old walls of Berwick. I'd earlier been looking around the town for somewhere to eat and it was the same old same old in cramped surroundings. The café in the YHA was absolutely lovely. Clean and modern with a large screen tv showing the news! Good when you're on your own and have no-one to talk to during lunch. Menu was excellent and such good value. If you have the portion of chips then share - it was enormous!! Goujons of plaice, salad, lovely piece of cake and pot of tea for about £10.

We made several visits to the Granary Bistro in the YHA for respite from unseasonal weather and a break from walking around the town. Each time we received a warm welcome and enjoyed what was on offer. This is tucked away between the town wall and Bridge Street but well worth seeking out .Good points:+ Pleasant staff and a variety of seating/spaces, including a glazed area and outdoor seating+ Good value, excellent food with a good selection of soft and alcoholic drinks+ Clean and well maintainedNot so good points:- Opening hours vary according to the season, so may not be open during the evenings

Met a friend here at the YHA bistro Very nice atmosphere and well arranged mixture of tables loungers and alcove seatingLovely and clean and friendly staffLatte and cheese scones very tasty Their own specials menu and sweet corn chowder was excellent choice hereA must try and used by visitors and locals Take out food available too

It was a quiet time of year so the Bistro was not open in the evening. However it served good breakfasts and had a good selection of cakes etc during the day.

Been eating here since opened and NEVER had a poor meal. Great portions of very good good.As soon as we get back to the area we'll be back...

We had a evening meal here and breakfast and both were excellent. Our six year old loved the food here.

Good basic cafe. No frills just good simple food and good coffee. See whats on offer in the gallery and then relax in the cafe. Right on the waterfront so ideal if walking the walls on a bright day. A superb shelter if not.

Since using the accommodation upstairs this was the obvious choice for breakfast coffee and light meals.Seems popular with the community too. Priced reasonably. Prepared well. Thank you ☕️

On a cold wet winter Saturday we popped in for a light lunch. An unusual historic building renovated a few years ago it was unusual to look at from the outside. The way it's wall leaned and still stood was amazing. Inside the bistro was warm and bright and the staff friendly. We ordered hot drinks and a pizza to share and took a seat. The pizza was freshly made but didn't take too long to arrive. We were certainly pleased with the look of it. Large and piled with the toppings we had chosen it was very tasty. We have had pizzas in many well known pizza restaurants but this showed what a pizza should be like. Base not too thick and the toppings so tasty and plentiful it was we both agreed the best pizza we have had. Keep up the good work and I am sure we will return for a second helping in the near future.

Never been here before but had a pleasant lunchtime snack, sat in the glass entrance-way - very pleasant

This was part of the Youth Hostel I was staying in so very convenient. I only tried the coffee and cake but very happy with these and say many others enjoying more food.

Tried to get breakfast on Sunday morning but the only thing being offered was a 'full' breakfast at £5.25, which is not unreasonable and the food is generally good.But if you just want an egg on toast, its rather inconvenient.Unfortunately the supermarkets (Morrisons and Asda) and Greggs are the best options for breakfast in Berwick and they don't open early on Sunday.Other breakfast options in the town are between £6 - £7 Ended up at Marshall's cafe out at Scremerston. They do a nice fresh cooked breakfast with options for around £3 - £5Give them a try!

I really enjoyed my falafel and spinach burger with chips. Served with salsa, and on a nice floured bun. Would have liked a bit of salad! My friend ordered a baked potato with beans and cheese. When it came out they apologised the potatoes were small, and they had given her 2, so her portion was huge! Which was very nice of them!! They have recently changed the menu so cannot comment on other dishes at this time!!!

this is an idyllic spot, but rather tired menu and fairly non-descript cake offerings, but that said it was near the end of the day.

Looking for a venue to meet some colleagues for an informal training session I initially chose another venue operated by a well known chain. As we couldn't securely log onto WiFi which was essential for our meeting we had to quickly find and alternative venue. the Granary was mentioned and following a phone call to check it's suitability we headed straight there.The restaurant is spacious, airy and comfortable with a great welcome from the staff. we were offered a table in the mezzanine which allowed us a quieter place for our discussions and provided with a flask of coffee so we could easily help ourselves to refills. The menu offers a great selection of food ranging from sandwiches to more filling meals. My baked potato was really nicely topped with a delicious chilli sauce and presented with a good sized salad. Free secure WiFi is definitely a bonus.Should I find myself back in Berwick this will certainly be given a return visit

Had lunch here on sat 8th it was local motorcycle show it was a very good lunch for the price and only 50 yards from show and 10 min walk to shops and Main Street .Its only 2 min from river tweed ,you can get a room here for about £18 a night many people from show stay here as they have parking if your in area give it a try

very reasonable prices good food and friendly staff, this place was mobbed for breakfast . The afternoon tea deals were also popular.

Visited with family. We were hungry and even we couldnt finish our large lunch. Chips served in a bucket were particularly good. Comfortable surroundings and pleasant staff. Would recommend!

A lovely pasta lunch from the specials board with a great view of the Tweed. Very nice - reasonably priced food - in a nice environment.

Have been coming here regularly since it opened. Nothing fancy but was always friendly service and ok. The menu and service times seem to have changed recently though and we were a bit disappointed to be honest. Not as many choices and no availability at certain times. Friendly staff though and a nice place!

We have visited the Granary on a number of occasions and have always been very happy with the choice of food and the service we recieved.The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is a great place to pop in for a coffee or light lunch.

As a local who visits this Bistro 1-2 times a week all year round I cannot believe that some bright spark who has obviously never been to Berwick has totally destroyed the individual appeal of the Granary. The lovely friendly staff were always happy to serve up fabulous, fresh food at a reasonable price. Well not anymore, gone are the fresh salads, interesting fillings, platters and regular favourited such as Northumbrian Rarebit and build-a-burger. Instead you can pay an exorbitant amount for frozen lasagne, the new menu is restricted, boring, very little choice for vegetarians ( unless you like cheddar as all the other cheese choices are off menu) the menu reads more like Brakes Bros. Berwick has plenty of eating places, this one size fits all approach will result in locals voting with their feet. The poor rating is based purely on the pathetic new menu and in no way reflects on the staff who have always made us very welcome and were very accommodating.

Once again the powers that be, but don't eat in the place, have decided to change the menu, or should I say desecrate it! Gone are the choices we a love, brie & red onion chutney, now cheddar with whatever, in fact nearly all & I use all in the briefest sense, the sandwiches/pannini include cheddar. No more humous, too short a shelf life, no salads ditto! I feel a change of our regular Friday lunch venue & I haven't ventured to speak about the pre packed frozen meals!

Visited yesterday lunchtime after a visit to the Burrell Collection exhibition in the same building. I ordered the fish finger sandwich option as recommended by a friend and was not disappointed (see photo). Not the sad breaded preformed oblongs as most of us know them, but fresh fish fillet cut into slices and served in two continental rolls with salad. I was with five friends who were all happy with their lunch choices too. The soup and other sandwiches looked delicious and the chips were plentiful and gorgeous, served in a bucket and no skimping on the portion. Service was quick and courteous and the surroundings tastefully modern and relaxing. You can even hire a chess set for £2 if it takes your fancy!It's clearly an establishment that a bit of thought has gone into (well done to owners and staff) and it hit the spot with me. Very reasonably priced too. I'll definitely return when I'm next in Berwick.

Called in today for a quick bite to eat with my 17mth old. It was just a simple bit-baked potato and Tuna with a cheese toastie for my girl but it was delicious. The service was great and friendly, the place clean and added extras such as books, TV, papers etc. Really enjoyed it and will be back. Oh and it was quick!

Popped in today great food but we ordered the soup and a panini and at one point i was tempted to go peel some spuds and give them a hand in the kitchen.. service was painfully slow. They also forgot our drinks.Food amazing, service awful, but very cheap so all in all very good but definitely go before you feel hungry...

This whole building is extremely interesting and worth visiting - it incorporates a great deal including exhibitions, the Granary Bistro, computers which can be accessed for a fee, games etc. We visited for breakfast and enjoyed very friendly staff, well prepared food and reasonable prices. Nothing was too much trouble to cater for individual requirements and we would definitely return.

Went primarily to see the LS Lowry exhibition which was very interesting . We then had lunch at the Bistro on the ground floor which was accessed by a lift. This whole building is wheelchair friendly and has good accessible toilet facilities. The staff were very friendly and the lunch we had was very enjoyable.There is space outside if the weather is suitable for having a coffee or lunch.Well worth a visit when in Berwick . It is also next to a car park which is even better as parking in Bridge Street is difficult.We will return to what has been an extremely successful restoration of an old building.

We have just visited the L.S Lowry Exhibition at the Granary and followed that we a great meal/snack downstairs café/bistro.The home baked menu offered an very wide selection, our snack of Nachos and Northumberland Rarebit and pastries was excellent; the staff extremely helpful and friendly.Excellent place to relax with indoor and outdoor seating - Definitely well worth a visit

Very nice range of healthy food, great chef who is sensitive to individual needs. Very good for vegans/vegetarians. Best place to eat in Berwick in our opinion..

Visited at 3.00pm and was surprised to see that full menu is available most of the time subject to availability of ingredients. Stilton toastie was good, and complemented with a small salad. Burger in bun was well cooked with accompanying relish and large portion of cooked to order chips. I have never seen such large tea cups for a small teapot. Staff were friendly and we did not have wait long for the meal. All the tables were clear, and had been sprayed and wiped. Some people criticize the lack of clearing tables, but this is part of YHA hostel, and people are expected to clear tables and put trays in rack for collection.Gallery above the bistro was hosting a LS Lowry exhibition, excellent.

Discovered it by chance and glad I did. It is in the basement of the old granary which also houses an art gallery/exhibition space and the YHA. The soup looked really good as did most of the food. Coffee was good and they did tea with soya. Really pleasant surroundings with a good local community feel. It's not posh but pleasant and cheap. Drop in grab a seat on the sofa and have a brew and some home made cake....

Attached to the hostel, this cafe provided a pleasant late lunch (comprising very nice panini's) tea and coffee. In fact, the rest of the menu looking very appetising. It was also good value. Nice with lots of room inside and with tables outside for the warmer days.

The Granary Bistro/Cafe is on the ground floor of the YHA and is a fine place to hide away over a good coffee or lunch in Berwick. It has a convenient alleyway to the harbourside and is a welcome stop if walking around the ramparts. Nice art gallery above to round off a stop!

Well mixed review here...several tables covered in crumbs..had to look for clean one..the cutlery which was in pales was not clean..the bottom of the buckets had paper in them which was dirty.....I returned the cutlery and was given clean ones.the chef brought out the food with a very grubby jacket on.....not nice. We waited at least 20 minutes for the food....The food was okay...the restaurant was not busy..only 4 other people there.....

Attached to both hostel and gallery this restaurant is just perfect. Friendly staff and great menu with well considered selections - the portions were suitable even for a big eater like me. The soups were very tasty and the sandwiches and pizzas were very tasty.Excellent place to relax with indoor and outdoor seating - absolutely worth a visit - L.S. Lowry exhibition on at time if visit.

Excellent lunch in a really nice cafe whicb we came across by accident. Parking requires a permit which they can give you. Seats outside so we could take our dog. Gorgeous lunch enjoyed by all (make your own burger, toastie and soup were our choices). Very friendly staff

We visited the Granary today to see the L.S Lowry Exhibition and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality and selection of food on offer. Delicious coffee and home bakes if you just fancy a snack. Well appointed seating area and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Bacon and Brie Panini with side salad recommended.We will definitely be back for another visit soon.

How refreshing...A warm welcome by ALL staff, and a Manager especially keen to oblige...Special dietary needs fully considered and a tasty veggie/vegan friendly menu.....How exceptional and refreshing..A great value find for all vegans wanting good service in Berwick-upon-Tweed!!

We were walking the Town walls and were ready for a tea /coffee stop & I also had a sudden need for the Loo!! Fortunately the Grain store was nearby and we dashed in..me straight for the loo. They were very welcoming it was too with warm room and pleasant service. We had a coffee and unhurried break before continuing our walk.

A group of us went for a meal last Friday. There was a good selection and all food was of exceptional value and quality. Will definitely return

We came in for lunch and were not disappointed. Lots of good wholesome food in a lovely clean and bright environment. Very chilled and reasonably priced. Good sized portions too. Also tv and internet access. Children are welcome here though there were none around at the time.

Had a couple of meals here when staying. The food was always good, hot and presented well. It was nice to see both familys and the elderly enjoying these facilitys. The prices are average and the staff pleasant. Nice place to meet up with friends over coffee.

My partner, myself and my 3 kids decided to have a light lunch at the granary after having a look upstairs at the 'Railway Man' exhibition they had on which was very interesting.My children had omelette and chips, my partner had fish, chips and peas which really looked the part on the wooden round block and tin pot the chips came nicely presented in. He said it was Delish!I decided to try the Roasted Veg & Houmous wrap with wedges and this was also delish I will b having again.I wasn't sure what to expect as all the staff looked very young but was surprised and service was good too. The young lass working that day even came to our table and had a little banter/giggle with my kids when they tried to speak to her which they really liked.We will be back again.

Called in here for breakfast and a great welcome from friendly staff put me in the right mood for the day before I started. I just asked for all they had and got the best cooked breakfast plus fruit juice and coffee I have had for many a year - and all this for under £5. Absolutely fantastic. Add thius to the really quirky surroundings and why go anywhere else - I certainly wouldn't

Not sure if it was different staff on upon this visit,but looked like standards had slipped a bit this time.Only seen the specials on the board,not a lot took our fancy but we choose something anyway,food was nice. Could of done with menus on the tables,after choosing our food we had a look around and noticed one menu on an empty table,one menu for the whole cafe! Bit disappointed as there was plenty of other things I would of had to eat.

Often come here for lunch, always find the staff very pleasant and helpful. The variety of food is great and excellent value for money! Even when busy, the place is well handled and more staff are called for to help with the rush. Highly recommended! :)

If I'm in town with the kids we will often go here for lunch. They love it especially in the summer when we can eat outside. Its relaxing and not to expensive, there is always something different on the menu.

Visited here with 4 friends and our 5 babies. Excellent value for money, great staff, lovely food and a relaxed atmosphere. Never felt rushed, plenty space and very clean. Cannot rate this highly enough!

Enjoyed lovely fat chips not cooked in lard! (Hard to find in Berwick.) & soya coffee without being made to pay an 'extra' charge ('The Vegan Tax') as so many chain coffee shops charge when you're not really getting 'extra', just 'instead of'. Well done The Granary! Friendly efficient service & they even went off to check what sauces were vegan. No fuss, no trouble. Would love them to restock hummous, then might have had the falafel too :) Keep up the good work & maybe even look to see if you can stock a cake choice that's also vegan? Nice, relaxed atmosphere, & clean loos! Will keep going back! :)

From the welcome to the great value breakfast, this was excellent. Stopped here on the way to Edinburgh instead of our usual McDonalds stop and was not disappointed. Will definitely be back.

I have happily been in the courtyard on previous occasions with friends with wine or coffee, the wine standard fare, the coffee average for the price, but it's been fine on warm days. Today I went for a late lunch, place nearly empty. I ordered at the counter and sat at the only table clear of dirty plates or other customers eating. OK I got change from my £5 note for a pannino and coffee. The wrong bread for the pannino but the bacon and Stilton filling was fine. Coffee poor. Tables slowly being cleared of the dirty dishes, very slowly, some still hadn't been cleared by the time I left. Pannino took over 10 minutes to arrive, even though there were no other orders outstanding, waiter who brought it didn't clear any of the other tables. I'm not sure of the business organisation: is it a charity which employs volunteers? is it a commercial organisation? In any case it needs some professional management.
