A very good bacon sandwich. I ate most of the first half before taking a photo. I've tried the white bread sausage sandwich too and it was also excellent.

Cute small little cafe by the river. Depending on where you sit views are really good, medium sized menu, shame they don’t do more of a variety such as full breakfasts, ok priced, paid £15 for a ham and cheese toastie, crisps, cake and two lattes - wouldn’t pay anymore, but food was hot, really tasty and served quickly, bit of a long wait when busy so could do with an extra staff member in busy periods, would come back again, also dog friendly so big bonus!

What a great place to stop on a fabulous walk along the river Tyne. I often walk from Wylam along the river bank and take a break here before heading across Newburn Bridge and back along the other side. Made welcome every time, even with an old and sometimes grumpy dog. I enjoy a scone and these days its hard to find a cafe that serves fresh homebaked scones, nothing more disappointing than a stale stodgy and tasteless scone that leaves that cloying baking powder aftertaste. Not here! They are10/10! I always seem to time it right; those scones have just come out of the oven and are still warm. Best of all they are delicious and remind me of my childhood when mam always did a batch every week. Yesterday I tried feta and jalepeno, and it was outstanding, highly recommended! .

I have been visiting this delightful dog friendly cafe for many years now and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I was sitting outside enjoying my usual delicious cheese and jalapeño scone when I overheard a group of people on another table. This man was explaining how over the years he had travelled all over the world and had never had a toastie to match the ones at the Hedley Cafe. So of course I had to try one and and he was so right. 10/10. So give one a try and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!

Hedley's is our traditional half-way recharge stop on our Sunday walk loop between the bridges at Wylam and Newburn. Currently only serving from the take-away entrance at the front of the building (following the COVID lockdown) and lacking both the indoor and outdoor seating, which have been cleared away for the time being. There is often seating nearby on the river's edge, so all is not lost (provided our changeable weather behaves itself, of course). The coffee and cake are as good as always though and the staff remain friendly and courteous.

We went in at 13.45hrs on Thursday 2.1.20 and asked for a hot beef sandwich from the Specials board. I was told that they didn't have any beef left so I looked again at the board and I was told that they didn't have any of items on the specials board left. I asked what they did have for sandwiches and I was told cheese and onion. I ordered two of these and two teas. Before our tea was made the lady came out of the kitchen and said she had run out of onions! Our tea was made and I asked for skimmed milk but was told we don't have that. I can only speak as I find but not a good experience for us!

Such a stunning walk along the river side , my first ever time on this walk . The river is fabulous . There is a pub at the top road , and this charming coffee stop . Access is good ,and there is plenty of room . A lovely garden to sit outside , but it was a bit fresh today ... We Both chose egg and bacon sarnie in white bread , with tea . The sarnies were “proper” delicious doorsteps filled with lovely bacon and double eggs . However : there is Warning that goes with this sarnie . Make sure the egg is facing away from you 😂🤣🤫. My first delicious bite , was accompanied by a lovely warm feeling all down my front !!! The egg burst and later I had to wash right down to my knickers !!! It was delicious , I am looking forward to going back and trying some more lovely food ... delicious xz

My wife and I made a reservation here after hearing a lot of good reviews. It was early on a Saturday evening. Hibou Blanc is divided into two separate parts - the larger area being the bar, which was heaving, even at this early hour. The restaurant is a smaller area, a little apart from the clamour of the bar. The lighting in both parts is low but the tables in the restaurant have atmospheric downlighting and the whole place has a private club style to it, with comfortable seating at the tables and Chesterfield couches in the bar. The atmosphere is therefore pleasant but there is noise from the bar and lots of hubbub from the neighbouring tables. The service was excellent. Several staff attended our table and answered questions about the food and drinks. Empty plates were quickly replaced with full ones and the staff were quick to offer help. Max was mostly at our table and he was great. The food is on the pricey end of the spectrum and we had a little of a mixed bag, though mostly good. The dishes are all well presented. My mackerel arriving in an enjoyable sauce and a side of dough bread and my wife's venison terrine looking very appealing. Both dishes were nice. My main was the fish of the day - trout and this is where my only disappointment with Hibou Blanc lies. The portion of trout - not an expensive or rare fish was tiny and the potatoes seemed undercooked to me. Thankfully, my better half had splashed out and ordered the lobster which came with some chips, she shared with me. Her lobster did look and taste very nice though and ther was enough of a portion for her. Enough to pass on some delicious chips to me. She thought the lobster was nice too. The desserts were the most enjoyable course. Though I am not usually one to eat dessert, the dark chocolate mousse with cherries and cream was delicious. My wife ordered the Almond Financier - which to our surprise and relief had nothing to do with spreadsheets or large financial operations. Both were very enjoyable.. One other thing that was great was the cocktails. We had 'Old Fashioned's - a very tasty blend of orange and Maker's Mark bourbon. Possibly the best version of this, I have ever had. It was slightly cheaper and tastier than the one I had just enjoyed at Mother Mercy's, which we had been to previous to this. We had a caraffe of Sauvignon Blanc and the final bill added to around £75 each with an automatically added service gratuity.

Leaving a review for the pottery shop side of things, not the food; I've now had two mugs from the pottery shop at Kiln (one was a replacement for the first), both suffered cracking of the glaze on the inside within just a couple of uses (note: I only hand washed both mugs). Cracks in glaze are not food safe as they can harbour bacteria but also the mug just looks a bit crap now, which is annoying after paying quite a lot of money! The fact it has happened twice suggests an issue with the manufacturing, a real shame because they look great otherwise.

I'm changing my reviews from 5 to 1 star as the service was very humiliating! I went with my children in the morning for breakfast before her GCSE exam to calm her down but unfortunately totally the opposite happened. Order wasnt served and everyone order even people after us was served. I reminded her with my order she said i'll give it take away! Ok. I asked for disposable forks, she came throwing bunch of metal forks on my table! I went to say I need disposables she gave them to me very angry! I am the one who should be angry as we didn't get what we want! I was very sad and decided to go to speak to her after dropping children off to school. I told her that wasn't right and not accepted and we were very disappointed! The other girl came very rudely saying she got your point and now do you need a free drink! Is this the way to treat your mistakes! Not apologizing but giving free drinks! What a shame! We loved this place and was very convenient being next to school! But we have loads of other options now!
