Ingram Cafe in Northumberland

I visited the cafe as a competitor in the Cheviot Goat ultra marathon, and they do an incredible job for looking after all the runners and event staff. The soup after 55 miles of moorland tastes like the best thing ever. A lovely location, with lovely people.

Absolutely beautiful. Great service from friendly staff & scrumptious home made food . If you like fresh coffee you will love the locally roasted speciality blends. When you visit why not have a look at the beautiful Church. It's sometimes nice to have a few peaceful moments of reflection & to appreciate how "lucky" we are.

So delighted to visit here at last and it didn’t disappoint 😊 Two visits in one day coffee and delicious Border tart before our walk and yummy soup after. Also went home with some lovely cards and beauty products both local. Staff so kind and helpful too. We’ll be back for sure 😊

Lovely little cafe hidden in the middle of a beautiful nature. Delicious homemade food with a friendly service, reasonable prices, and interesting local products to purchase. Highly recommended!

Been awhile since I had to walk through a wood to get to a cafe. Well worth getting a bit of mud on my trainers. The cup of tea was spot on and the lady had a cracking Northumberland accent.

Lovely people, good food - and friendly birds in the garden!

A lovely place. I popped in there for a coffee and cake on a circular walk from Branton. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing little place, we were so surprised to find such a marvellous establishment in such a remote location as Ingram bridge. Dogs are welcome. The choice of cake to have i a cup of tea was awesome, this is also a gift shop, art and craft venue and a local history museum. From here you can do a short circular walk of the village which starts along a wooded path then bring you back to the church which is architecturally beautiful

Lovely little cafe, dog friendly and serves delicious cakes and coffee. Lovely staff. Worth a visit

Nice pea soup, OK coffee, excellent border tart, stuffed with fruit.. Other merchandise in the shop has been revamped and some interesting items including some quite attractive paintings.

A bit pricey but hey there isn't another cafe around for miles. It's worth it after a day, or night, in the hills. Nice bacon sarnies and coffee/cake and selection of sandwiches. Great service. Has seating inside and out and has an archeological history part inside the café of the area.

Lovely little cafe, at the edge of the national park. Easy to access by car or walk/ bike. Lovely staff, great coffee, sandwiches and cakes, and a small selection of local art, and artisinal gifts.

Lovely little cafe and shop with a small museum of the area too. Free carpark and also a bike rack and free air pump.

Beautiful location in the valley. Food and drink delicious.

Just called for coffee and scones. Great little place, bit hard to find but worth the drive along the lane. Lovely church next door too. Lovely little courtyard to sit out in the sun.

Lovely food and great service it is rather expensive and could do with a bit of music or something to livening the place up

Such a lovely place to visit for some homemade food. Staff are exceptionally nice and professional. Certainly the best cafe I have ever visited.

A lovely hidden gem, tucked away in some beautiful scenery.

Lovely little cafe, nice selection of food. Some amazing home make cakes and treats. Friendly and helpful staff. Small museum detailing the history of the area over time. Toilets and lots of nearby walks.

The service was excellent, the staff were so friendly. The coffee delicious and the bacon, brie and cranberry panini was very very tasty. The fruit scone was also amazing. Thank you so much we'll definitely return x

A fantastic location, good service added bonus is the small information centre attached giving you the history of the area

Good quality food, limited choice

Had two English Breakfast tea, an Earl Grey, and two slices of lemon drizzle. Big tea drinkers, and the English Breakfast (£2.70 each) tasted stale, not nice at all. The lemon drizzle cake (£3.50 each) was okay, but didn't taste of lemon whatsoever - very disappointing. When we go to sit in a cafe and pay a decent amount of money, we dont think it's unreasonable to expect a ceramic mug/cup with a teaspoon, not a paper takeaway cup with a wooden stick. Also, to have a ceramic plate, not a cheap disposable paper plate and wooden fork. Lovely location and had a lovely day at Breamish valley, just a disappointing end in this cafe.

What a lovely gem of a cafe, friendly courteous staff and my ginger shortbread was delicious the best I’ve had!! Would highly recommend this cafe to others

Visited whilst on a 10 mile circular walk from the River Breamish campsite to Ingram via Great Ryle. As this was nearer the end of the walk, we stopped for a lunch. Paninis were lovely! Also visited the exhibition, worth a visit.

Dog friendly and food is lovely.

Found this cafe purely by accident but what a gem of a place it was. We had been visiting a different business 3 or 4 miles away and fancied coffee and a bite to eat. This cafe was suggested by the SatNav, there is no way we would have gone in this direction otherwise. So glad we did though. Had a small homemade quiche and my husband a slice of cake both with coffee. Very reasonably priced and both tasted very good. Would we visit again, definitely if we can find it again.

Lovely cafe with great art on the wall.

What an absolute gem, delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Cheese scones and the cauliflower and chestnut soup were outstanding. They even have plants for sale.

Lovely cafe 8n a beautiful location.

Little drive out and ended up here, fabby staff friendly welcoming. Cakes are lush

Lovely little cafe.nice staff.nice location

Since having this café recommended by a friend several years ago, it’s become tradition to stop off for coffee and cake following walks in the beautiful Breamish Valley. Having been a long while since our last visit, I’m pleased to say that we found the whole experience up to the same standards as previous. The staff were all very pleasant and welcoming and there was a good selection of sweet treats on offer. We both chose the gingerbread, which was a good choice as it was divine…in fact, I’d go as far as saying it’s the best gingerbread I’ve ever tasted! My hubby had a cappuccino and I had a mocha, which were both perfect in terms of flavour and temperature. Fortunately the weather was kind to us and we were able to sit outside on one of the picnic benches (covered seating also available outside). We were entertained by one of the resident birds and treated it to a couple of crumbs of gingerbread!

A lovely spot to get lunch. I had the superb quiche, served by a very helpful staff. Attached is a great visitor centre that tells the history of the valley.

This cafe used to be the highlight at the end of a walk in the beautiful Ingram valley. Sadly, after a recent visit, we felt underwhelmed. My wife asked for a cheese scone with a salad but was told that they no longer provide any salad (to cut down on food waste apparently). Surely a salad could be offered as an option, my panini had slices of tomato in it and a bag of salad leaves and cucumber is not a major cost. The coffee (cappuccinos) was poor and barely warm, it has always been very good on previous occasions. The cafe is in a great location but has been a better experience in the past - or maybe we just hit it on a bad day.

We visited as a group of 10 cyclists. Great food and service, fantastic location.

After walking the first half of circular hike a cafe break was just what we needed to recover but sadly wasn't the best experience. Being dog friendly was a plus but after that we were left rueing our decision to stop.The menu wasn't extensive. The coffee ordered had no strength to it so no taste. Tea was OK but 2 Cheese scones at £3.50 each was a bit steep. Upon reflection a small tea room in an isolated area is never going to be offering a large varied menu and prices are always going to be inflated.

Good place however the earl grey tea did not have a teapot a bag in a cup is not good looks like they don’t care the hot chocolate was lovely (according to the wife) and the scone and GF cake were the best we have had in a while

Lovely cafe, shop and visitor centre in Breamish Valley.

A gem of a find in a beautiful spot. Great coffee and cakes and some lovely gifts and pictures to buy too. Well worth a visit.

Fab Cakes and coffee. Lots of interesting products and plants to buy.. well worth a visit.

Although the Ingram Cafe advertises Vegan options they don’t really cater for Vegans. The only Vegan option available was Lentil Soup, Whoopie 🙁

It is advertised that this café serves vegan options. lentil soup! That was all that was on offer. Not a single vegan cake. Very disappointed.

Ham,brie & cranberry Panini to die for

This place gives a warm welcome to walkers. The cakes are excellent, and the portions generous. A great way to end a day's hiking.

Sunday - really nice fresh sandwich and coffee. staff very friendly especially the young man who served us he was so pleasant polite and well mannered... credit to the cafe.

Beautiful surroundings,lovely people food is delicious 😋 😍

love the stuff here, hot chocolate is the best, I am however confused by the prices . . . . ie today I went alone and got a cheese toastie and a hot chocolate . . . I was charged £10, yet a couple of days ago I was charged £13.90 for an americano coffee a soup a toastie and a hot chocolate . . .?? In fact all 5 times we as a couple have been in the last month, its always been around £13, so I am bemused at £10 . . unless coffee is a lot cheaper than hot choc 😂😂😂 or is it a single person tax. any ideas welcome . . .is there an online price menu ?

Lovely food, I would recommend the Border Tart. Decent prices, a mocha a sandwich and soup and a tart for £15. It has good WiFi. Place let down by reception, it was so cold you could see your breath, and closed toilets, there was a disabled toilet but it was manky.

Has this changed management. Run out of savoury food at 1.30pm, slow service, need more staff, need more food, everything stopped while they unloaded their Sainsbury’s delivery! Live close to here and visit regularly but not great at the moment sorry

Very good, didn't expect it to be open as it's in the middle of nowhere, but I believe they are open all year round

This is a small cafe located in a small hamlet up a valley. Clientele will mostly be walkers or, sometimes. locals. It is a lovely cafe. The menu is broad-enough and food items tasty and delivered at decent speed. Service was fine A small museum displaying some interesting local archaeological finds is attached

Great coffee, ginger shortbread and ginger cake. Wonderful staff who make you feel welcome. A must visit when up this way.

Cheese scones and warming soup on a blowy winter day. Perfect.

Always wonderful food here, Biddy an her team are lovely. Dog friendly too. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful gluten free home made produce !

Lovely cafe, which is dog friendly . The food is excellent. Highly recommend when walking that area of the Cheviots.

The cakes are amazing the staff are lovely

I go occasionally with a cycling group. It's a lovely spot, with really pleasant staff and good food... But it needs to be prepared for busy periods... A lukewarm coffee in a small paper cup served 20 minutes before your food is not something I enjoyed or would recommend. The food is good, but the experience wasn't. 👍

Just had coffee and a cake, lovely surroundings peaceful, clean and friendly.

Stopped by for soup & a pannini. Very nice soup & bacon & Brie pannini. Friendly relaxed service. Dog friendly. Slightly lacks the cosy feel , but will revisit as food very good. Ginger cake gorgeous too!

Lovely little rural cafe at Ingram Valley. Not the cheapest but lovely home made scones. The Cheese are absolutely yummy!! There is a little area to learn about archaeological info for the area. Lovely friendly staff.

Nice tea and cake. Very interesting small archaeological display also

. . . happy time, as met by two friendly ladies with nothing being too much trouble. Delicious homemade cakes and scones, served with an earl grey leaf tea which was very refreshing. Peaceful location with walkers enjoying the outside tables in the sunshine. My daughter and I wandered around the beautiful churchyard and enjoyed some time out.

What a fantastic little diamond. Great place to refuel and whet yer whistle. Very friendly people

This is a lovely little village cafe. Perfect for a stop off point if walking, cycling or doing the wonderful Ingram Valley Safari (amazing experience!). The cafe is very dog friendly and have jam with the scones, it's yummy. Small shop where you can buy hand made greetings cards, blankets, honey, soaps and more. This is all surrounded by the most raw, beautiful countryside. Amazing!

Lovely spot for a light lunch or coffee and cake when out walking in the beautiful countryside. Seating in and out of doors, dogs welcome. We had soup and sourdough followed by lovely home made lemon cake and scones.

Great little cafe in Ingram, best chocolate flapjack ever had. Great spot for a bite to eat in a lovely location. Whether by car or walking, worth a visit.

Nice village with river and walks around. Café was a let down though with wierd tasting coffee and cheese and ham toasties the worst I've had at £5.10 each thin bread and not much filling. Small quiche was OK. Overall quite poor!

Friendly staff, great food served quickly and with a smile. Gem of a place

Good coffee and tasty food. Friendly staff. Enjoyed sitting in the garden and browsing around the gift shop.

Food is good and the staff are friendly

Nice spot for a light lunch. Decent has and cheese toastie and a few cakes to choose from. Has a nice little shop and gallery attached. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the valley.

Been here three times and it’s been lovely every time. Great catering for a variety of dietary requirements too. Love their ham and vegan cheese toasties! Great service and good amount of seating. Definitely a go-to spot for lunch whenever I visit Ingram Valley.

Nice bacon rolls, good flat white coffee, pleasant environment. Friendly and welcoming. Still feels a five star experience even though the cardboard cups and plates took the edge off, considering the high-ish prices. I would recommend though and will be back.

Food and drink were nice, too expensive

Lovely out of the way place, but quite dear we thought.

Ordered 2 bacon rolls to sit in with hot chocolate and a tea. Bacon tasted like it was reheated in micro and not overly tasty. The rolls where served, and finished 15 mins before we finally received our drinks, others who ordered well after us were served their drinks almost immediately, felt like the locals came first regardless of when they arrived. Wouldnt recommend or return.

Friendly helpful staff lovely freshly baked scones and delicious border tart ,piping hot coffee and tea.We will be back soon.

Very friendly cafe near some beautiful walks and Linhope Spout Waterfall. Lots of parking and outside seating space. It's a cafe, local shop selling crafts and artwork and has a mini museum area as well. Cakes were delicious and there were milk alternatives for coffee and Gluten Free cakes on offer. I'd definitely recommend.

Stopped in to refuel while riding the Sandstone Way mountain bike route and had a great experience. Food was tasty, staff were friendly and filled up our water supplies before we set off again.

Best coffee i have ever had lovely staff

We came upon this lovely little cafe by surprise. It's in the Northumberland National Park. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. We sat outside, and blackbirds and finches were around us. It was lovely seeing how friendly they were.

Friendly, lovely food, clean ,nice outside area cafe

Was nice quick service nice gifts to buy will be going back to do a bit of walking and cycling as well as going to cafe

Came in for coffee and cake while staying nearby and really enjoyed the display of local history etc. Lots of art and crafts to buy - some good but some terrible daubs. Then again it's all in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

Very Nice Indeed, lovely food and coffee ☕

Lovely sight at the end of a walk through the hills. Gifts, maps and toilets too.

Lovely coffee and cake staff very friendly

Fabulous, everything about it. 🤩🤩🤩

What a wonderful cafe. Child friendly. Dog friendly too. Kind people. Good cheese scones.

Delightful hidden gem in the Breamish valley

Absolutely delicious ginger shortbread !

Best cup of earl grey I've ever had. Lovely location, atmosphere, right next to a beautiful church

Only gad a pot of tea as we had sandwiches with us, was not aware of cafe, toilets on site and tge area is stunning.

What a little gem. I found it after a lovely bike ride. The cafe was cherry on top of a perfect day. Try the boardelands tart 😍

Ingram Valley is such a beautiful place to visit any time of the year, although it does get busier during the summer months. There are plenty of great walks to suit a variety of abilities, and it is wonderful to have somewhere welcoming to go after a walk. The service is always friendly and efficient, and the food is delicious. The menu has been well thought out to suit a wide range of dietary needs, and the staff are very helpful it you have any questions. The gift shop attached to the cafe is well stocked with locally made goodies, and the small museum area provides fascinating insight it the history of the area. If you go to Ingram, I highly recommend a visit here.

Lovely little cafe, sun trap in garden, dog friendly

We’d heard great things about the cafe here & it fully lived up to its reputation. I came here with an HF walking group doing an extended version of the Hillforts (circular) trail, and we managed to fit in a mid-morning coffee stop and a late afternoon tea & cakes one without hesitation or deviation but with enthusiastic repetition! Super-friendly welcome, ideally located with ample car parking, good selection of guides and maps as well as food, and highly recommended👍👏😀

Lovely peaceful little shop in the heart of Ingram valley
