Jan's Kitchen in Northumberland

Popped in for lunch before driving home to Glasgow after arriving at Newcastle airport. Food is absolutely delicious! Baked potatoes were huge and very tasty. My husband raved about his soup and sandwich combo. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, wish I was closer to be able to pop back in!

Faultless, went for lunch, our first time. We spent a while choosing as there was a good selection. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend. Nice friendly staff.

A group of us ladies went for afternoon tea, booked in advance. It was delicious, everything was freshly baked. We had sandwiches, scones and cake plus drinks. Price was very reasonable for what we had. The staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. I would definitely go here again

Quite the nicest bacon rolls we've had in a long time. Great friendly service as well. 10 out of 10.

I read about Jan's Kitchen on Trip Advisor and decided to visit for breakfast. I was delighted I did. Beautifully prepared full English breakfast, quality ingredients. Great standard of friendly and impressively quick service. Ambience was lovely, superb clientele. Well worth seeking out if you are in the area.

Excellent tearoom, great welcome and superb fare catering for 17 cyclists all at once! We will definitely be back to visit you again.

Thought we would go out for breakfast and support a local business. Mistake! Place looked pleasant enough. Staff faffed about deciding which empty table to seat us at and then nothing. One member of staff just chatted to the people at another table and the other spent 10 minutes making one cup of coffee and then took.a takeaway order from some walk ins while we just sat there. Got up and left and went to our garden centre where we seated and served a very nice brealfast. So unless you are prepared to wait and wait and wait avoid this place!

Breakfast superb poached egg bacon sausage mushrooms toast followed by a scone I was famished… I’m a regular…. Jan n her girls are so so obliging I’d recommend this cafe to my mum….. Tell all your friends., prices really reasonable and food cooked to order…. No plastic rubbish here…… Date slice n scones so so nice., I’m not dieting ha ha life’s for living n eating at jans

Had breakfast, bacon had been cooked and recooked so was hard, sausage also tough, not great , wouldn’t go back.

Fab food friendly staff owner keeps her prices just right. Always busy, tables reserved. Bacon panini wonderful also date slice to die for. I always take some home…. They do take out……. Great atmosphere., just like being in your front room at home so cosy…. I’m there usually once or twice a month. Breakfast too real foods no grease n fat…… The owner will make what you require very very good. Thank you…

The A68 is a wonderful route back to England, the views magnificant but there was nowhere to stop for breakfast. Jan's Kitchen fitted the bill. Good coffee, lovely food and a cheerful atmosphere. Not 5 stars! Terrible car park.

Fantastic breakfast rolls and home baking. 5 mins from Newcastle airport, stopped off on way back home to avoid buffet slop from an airport hotel. Highly recommended!

Tasty food Well presented Great prices Good atmosphere so homely Staff so so friendly, nothings a bother they know their regulars Owner good at what she does., runs a good shop All in all it’s a good job I’m not local I’d be in every day so good

Generous tea and coffee - (some spilt because of a wobbly table) and lovely chicken mozarella pesto paninis with salad crisps and coleslaw for a very reasonable price. The staff were lovely, even though the cafe was busy. We will come again (but avoid the round table)!

I stopped at Jan's Kitchen on my way to Tynemouth for my brunch and as expected, I wasn't let down. My coffee and panini were really nice and not bad for £ 7 and the ladies in the cafe were really pleasant. Also I decided to have a scone for afters and at £ 1.80, this was well worth the money. I can see why people in Ponteland recommend Jan's Kitchen and the service is good and very friendly. However, as Jan's Kitchen is so popular, the car park can fill up outside quickly, although there is disk parking five minutes away.

Without doubt the best place to eat out in Ponteland. Lovely fresh tasty food with great service too. I can see why it's so popular.

Booked ahead as dad is in a wheelchair & pleased we did as it was a popular destination on Tuesday, had we just turned up I don’t think we’d have been accommodated for some time. Coffees were nice, the smell of the ham & cheese panini for dad was so strong when served that both mum & I ended up ordering food as well as it was making us hungry, we got coronation chicken wraps with salad inside, we all enjoyed our visit & our food, thank you 😊

Good tasty home cooked food good staff owner great all in all I’ll give it 300% even though I didn’t realise I’d got a parking fine from Waitrose which added. Other £43 to my bill. I took my husband for his favourite a full English, best yet…. Thank you thank you for food that actually tastes like it’s real. I’ve always seen people sitting in and outside it’s always busy. Can’t wait to try their Sunday lunches bet their yorkshas are great…..a lovely happy place to eat n chat to friendly staff n customerS.

Day visit to Ponteland, called in for coffee and teacake. Mug of Americano very nice, tasty teacake. Staff very friendly, first class service

We pop in on Tuesday, day after my 50th birthday, for a spot of brunch & what a little gem this place is. So much do we pop back on Thursday for lunch & take my mothers first outing. The food is just lovely, breakfast we both had a sandwiches & have to said they are massive but tasty. Lunchtime we booked a table on the day as it does very busy especially if it’s sunny & weren’t disappointed. Great service from the lovely ladies & we will be back very soon. Good luck with year & thank you for looking after us.

We had a takeaway sandwich and a coffee each, on a walk around Ponteland. It was so lovely to still access this kitchen even though takeaway, the staff still brilliant under the current circumstances. The bread was wonderful - had to try ham and pease pudding, thank you so much. Safe and confidently managed

During lockdown having a good takeaway takes on greater importance, alleviating the sameness of cooking for ourselves every day. This morning we once again treated ourselves to takeaway breakfasts and were, as usual, very impressed. We phoned in our order, arrived to pay and pick...

Absolutely Covid secure and the most friendly Cafe you could visit had Mocha & Coffee and Carrot cake to share lovely food and great service as always so pleased they are still open through these strange times 10/10

My absolute favourite spot for jacket potato - generous with toppings and always baked to perfection! Always very friendly staff too.

I'm pleased to say that Jan's is still open and still serving a good selection of savouries and cakes. We were looking for something to do on Sunday during lockdown, and Jan's didn't disappoint. We rang first and our bacon sandwiches and coffee were ready...

If you want a reasonably priced & quality home baked snack then Jan is excellent. Lovely boutique cafe with warm welcome and good home baking.

Quick stop off on return from Cowells. Past it many times on my bike and seen it packed. Decided to give it a go. Lovely service, Covid secure. Good wholesome food with a decent mug of coffee at a great price. Clean, well furnished, will...

Smashing spot. Stopped off for tea and cake but ended up have paninis instead, they were so delicious. Rington’s Tea was a huge bonus. Well worth a visit.

Just a few doors away from where we were staying, this cafe provides tremendous service with a great breakfast range (not just the items listed on the menu!). Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended, as...

Called in 3.45 just before closing , made very welcome and great Covid19 process going on , 2 Coffees and we shared a beautifully Cooked very tasty Slice of Carrot Cake outside in the sunshine our Labrador had a piece ! Very friendly staff and wish we lived local as would call in most days !

Even thou it was 2.45pm and they shut at 3pm they were extremely apologetic about the rush. They provided us with excellent service, delicious hot food and the best carrot cake we have ever tasted! Thank you we will be back 🥕😊

Great little cafe, ideal for a stop on a cycle ride. Always a good selection of cakes available, good coffee and hot chocolates. Can get busy inside on a weekend so if it’s nice we opt to sit outside. Good facilities and a pleasant crew...

After a pleasant walk by the river, needed a rest and a bite to eat. Jan's Kitchen is were we chose, turned out to be a good choice. Coffee excellent in a large mug, fruit scone very tasty. Decor was relaxing, with newspapers to browse....

Staff were very friendly and we were served quick, good coffee nice and hot and scones good too, very pleasant inside lovely decor and made to feel very welcome - will return again.

A very generous portion of corned beef pie with salad and slaw was good value and very tasty. Pricing throughout the menu is spot on with most items far better value than local competition. We went on Saturday lunchtime and the place was packed. Our...

My wife and I visit Jan’s often. Neither of us have ever had anything but positive experiences here. They do the basics really well and when you go there you know what you v are going to get!I would recommend Jan’s to anyone who live in Ponteland our and visitor. Thanks for being so reliable!!!!

Tinned Tomato’s and Mushroom, Watery baked beans no Hash Browns, fried egg was hard and the hard to digest granary bread toast. Quorn Sausages were ok, but the meal soon got cold as it had been put on to a cold plate.I would expect fresh grilled Tomato’s and Mushroom and beans in a proper sauce with hash browns.After an appointment in Ponteland, feeling greedy I looked for a breakfast. J Jans Kitchen looked inviting and hopefully cheap.Asked for a Veggie Breakfast with everything but meat, they did not advertise it but most places do them, and it seemed no problem to them.It was popular so customers must find it ok but not sure what the competition is like in Ponteland.No staff came to ask if everything was fine and it was not so much dreadful as not good.They would not survive in Cramlington or Blyth that’s for sure.Gordon, Cramlington

Good food at reasonable prices, large portions, friendly staff and quick service, and a big plus, free on-site parking

Beautiful little place, very good scones. Me and my wife come to Jans Kitchen at least twice and month. Very good staff and a lovely cup of tea. Quite busy with cyclists on a weekend so sometimes you have to wait, but we’re all for local business doing well!

My daughter and I dropped in for lunch. Everything was brilliant. Lovely atmosphere and clean and bright cafe. Really great panini menu and a range of other imaginative options. We had the Mexican chicken special and it was absolutely fantastic. Beautifully cooked chicken and vegetables with lovely salad and homemade coleslaw. Daughter had home made cake which was beautiful. Great service and very reasonable prices, will definitely be back.

Yummy!!! Very reasonably priced and tasty food. Definitely worth a visit, plenty of parking and very helpful staff

I stopped off at Jan's Kitchen on the way to York with some visitors from America. Lovely fresh scones and coffee, cafe had a really nice atmosphere and felt like it was a great place for the locals.

Popped in for breakfast. What a lovely cafe! Well cooked breakfast with quality ingredients. Staff very friendly and efficient. We shall return!

Stopped for lunch - the food was amazing - we all had panini’s, the extra touch was asking if we wanted salad and coleslaw. Coffees excellent. Staff fantastic and made sure we were well looked after. Great place to stop

Just had a pot of tea. Sat outside in the sun. service was good Staff were very friendly and efficient. Will definitely call again when visiting the area.

A small snack and some tea in a lovely cafe with lovely service. I needed to get some reading done and found this place not too far from where I needed to be. One to try.

I stopped at this smart little cafe for lunch while out cycling with friends. Service was friendly and efficient and everyone was pleased with the food and drink choices they made. I especially enjoyed my lentil and bacon soup with a meatball and mozzarella toastie; delicious!

We had a snack and lunch here - very good spot to stop on the way to Newcastle and beyond. Food was fresh, good variety on the menu and good service.

Stopped for Sunday Brunch and not disappointed! Arrived around 1115 and noticed that breakfast finished at 1100...no problem said the staff - we’re still cooking it. Home made soups and real bread. Staff are warm and friendly and the freshly cooked food was great value and enjoyable. No wonder people were waiting to get a table. Definitely be calling back.....

Visited Ponteland from Nottingham so we was ready for a good cup of coffee what we got was an amazing cup of coffee, extremely warm friendly welcome by the ladies inside,

I went to Jans kitchen 3 times last week; it’s great for lunch, portions are a good size, very well presented and the staff are lovely. It is pleasing to see that all ages are in there and it has a good community feel.

Stopped off again at this cafe whilst visiting friends in ponteland-I really like this place although it seems to be a popular cycling venue I have always found a parking place—my sandwich and my wife’s light lunch were excellent service was friendly and efficient and the ambiance was great would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Great little cafe, obviously a cyclists favourite stop off, thought we had been transported to Amsterdam going on the number of cycles outside. Good food, good quality tea, good place to try!

As a larger than normal group (8) we expected sissues of accommodation, but we were pleasantly surprised that the young staff could not have been more helpful - two tables pushed together meant we could all dine together.

Met a colleague here to prepare for a meeting. Pleasant surroundings and staff. Very good service, not too busy at 1.30. Food looked great. Obviously popular with locals. Parking available, very good latte. Fresh flowers in the toilet - a nice touch.

Arrived just before noon on Sunday September 9th. After consulting the menu, two of the party wanted sausage and I went to the counter to place our order. I was told that there was no sausage left! Bearing in mind that Sunday is a popular day for late breakfasts, I can only assume they must have been lots of demand for the product. However, Sainsbury’s is just across the road and Waitrose a five minute walk where sausages could have been sourced in an emergency. If you can’t provide what you are advertising on the menu then inform clients by placing a notice on the board so they don’t waste time as we did or by instructing the waiting staff to inform customers on arrival.

We had a wonderful time during at Jans Kitchen, food and staff were amazing.

The service and the food is great in here. It is the ideal lunch stop if you are meeting friends or for a takeaway lunch whilst at work. They sell sandwiches, jacket potatoes, quiche, cakes etc. It is slightly crowded as only a small place. It gets very busy.

I was at Jan's K last Monday with a very good friend and my daughter - my salad was 10/10 in any book, beautifully prepared it was mouthwatering..... great value.... I will be back. Thanks ADW

Call in most Sunday mornings and occasionally through the week following a walk from Dinnington to Ponteland. Coffee is so good and piping hot. We alternate from bacon and sausage sandwiches to poached eggs on toast , granola cup and toast with marmalade. Extremely friendly staff , spotlessly clean and nothing is too much trouble. Jan and team are superb. Great to eat outside in summer or inside. Always busy though. Cakes and tray-bakes are so tempting.

A homely place not too big and the food is excellent. I have been here many times with my wife for a spot of lunch I have never yet been disappointed. Parking is directly outside. I highly recommend the quiche and the salad is always fresh. Service is always the same , very good.

Call here most Monday’s for coffee and sandwich, staff are excellent, Chrissy and Chloe always friendly chatty and helpful, Jan amazing.Daily specials to choose from, sandwiches lovely and fresh and made to order. Lovely atmosphere

excellent meal and so so tasty congrats to Jan this is a brilliant cafe i will return again and again as i love the food

Love this popular little cafe , breakfast served till lunch time . Good menu selection for large and small appetites . Warm atmosphere especially popular with all sporting enthusiasts as there are plenty of healthy options . Love sitting outside in the summer .

Fresh off a plane, jet lagged, hungry - you know the feeling. We were driving around looking for a place to eat (and we drove around for quite a while on those odd left-sided streets). We settled on Jan's and struck gold. I have never had such an amazing potato. My mom was in love with the coleslaw. It was such a filling & satisfying meal, great way to start off long months in a new country. We had wanted to have coffee and dessert, they looked extremely good but were so full that we couldn't manage it. My family says they'll come and visit me here in England just so they can swing by Jan's for dessert. I made them promise to come get me first.

Checked on TripAdvisor for somewhere near to a Newcastle Airport to have breakfast before our recent holiday and Jan's Kitchen was top of the list. I messaged and asked what they did for breakfasts and they promptly replied with what they have to offer, so off we set on the day of our flight and happily drove the extra 5 minutes past the airport. Well worth it too - everything was freshly cooked, beautiful and exceptionally good value for money. The place is very nicely set out and nipping clean and the staff are really friendly. Never again will we consider having anything to eat at the Airport (who wants to start their trip away with over priced awful food served by unwelcoming people at scruffy tables?) when we can use our time, money and satisfaction levels at Jan's. Cannot recommend highly enough. Many thanks.

Visited here yesterday afternoon for a take away coffee and cake. I ordered a hazelnut latte with one of their malteaser tray bakes and my husband ordered a flat white coffee. The cake was lovely, very dense and sickly enough for us both to share. I'm sorry to say but the coffee was awful. We both ended up having a few sips before pouring it down the sink. It was a really busy café so I'm unsure how this hasn't been mentioned before. There aren't many cafes with it being a small town but I won't return for a coffee again. The food looked nice and the dinners seemed to be enjoying it so perhaps it was a bad coffee bean day.

Have visited Jans Kitchen on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed . The staff are always attentive and professional . The quality of food is excellent and great value for money.

Absolutely love this little café! Lots and lots of choice for somewhere so small, and all dishes I've tried are absolutely delicious. The salads are unreal for £4 - you get chicken, bacon, salad, tomatoes, cucumber, lovely olives, sweetcorn, feta, pasta, cous cous, beetroot, peppers, list goes on and on! Really good value and all food is really fresh and tasty. I've had the baked potatoes with cheese and beans a few times too - these are lovely! Cooked to perfection, loads of cheese, beans, side salad and coleslaw. The coleslaw is delicious and seems to get served with everything! Milkshakes are also lush! Only negative is it's really small and always packed out!

I called in for lunch on my motorcycle on what started out as a sunny Tuesday afternoon.

I like this place. Friendly service, well cooked breakfasts. I often just have a selection, but they always come up trumps. The clientele is wide ranging from cyclists to police, families to singletons.

Estado de la bici y estaba buscando algo con un grupo de estudiantes para algunos alimentos caseros. Esta parada fue justo lo que el doctor. Pequeño gran lugar con una cálida bienvenida y deliciosa cocina. Un poco de espera ya que todo estaba recién hecho...

Un cambio agradable para café y dulce en lugar de una de las cafeterías de la cadena. Comida casera, personal atento y periódicos para leer. Un ambiente muy agradable, amable, incluso al final del día.

We visited here today after often passing on our way to plants plus. We managed to get a parking space as it's not a big car park and it was quite full. We decided to sit inside as the weather wasn't too good for sitting outside.? We decided on soup and a sandwich but there is also lots of other choices ranging from panni's, salads, baked potatoes, quiches etc. We really enjoyed our leek and potato soup and coronation chicken and my lemon tuna sandwich's. will def be back

Went in today for a quick cuppa before picking family up at Newc Airport.Not impressed whatsoever, tea served in pot, but cup was dirty !!I went inside and asked for a clean cup and a can of coke was put on the counter !I again asked for a clean cup and was given a plastic cup !I THEN ASKED AGAIN FOR A CLEAN CUP And finally got one, the lady behind the counter blamed the dishwasher !Will not be returning.

Friendly service, good food and cakes. Perfect for a quick stop whilst out cycling. Try the homemade

Great location for cake and coffee when out for a walk on a sunny day. Staff are very friendly and service is efficient.

Returned to Jan's today one of our favourite places to have lunch or just a cuppa and a snack never disappointed good home cooked food and the staff are all lovely. Thank you again see you soon Mags xx

Having done the journey from Yorkshire to Scotland dozens of times we are always looking for places to break the miles. From now on we will be planning around breakfast at Jans Kitchen. Sausage, Bacon and Egg sandwiches for the four of us. Excellent rolls and nothing greasy. Full English for the grandparents were equally met with clean plates. Add drinks and coffee the bill was £25 for the 6 of us. Heartily recommended.

Great Food, Great Tea and Coffee, Excellent Staffing and recommended for a very welcoming feel........we use it every few weeks to meet up with friends on a Saturday morning, super deals on hot sandwiches/teacakes/toast with a hot drink.....Perfect!

Had lunch there today with friends. It is so popular that we got the last table, as is often the case ! Even though it was full, it didn't feel crowded. A good selection of light lunches at very reasonable prices. Lovely cakes to choose from as well ! Parking at the door.

We regularly stop here when walking or cycling and the staff are always really friendly and helpful Good selection of cakes and very reasonable prices Popular with mums and babies

Good for tea and bacon sarnie breakfasts, nice cakes, friendly staff, more reasonably-priced than other places in the immediate area. Limited parking and v busy with cyclists in spring/summer.

Popped in to Jan's with my mam on my last day of my Xmas visit to the Toon (The Toon! The Toon! The Black and White Army!) Really glad we did. Very clean. Good quality fixtures and fittings somewhat aligned with the area's salubrious reputation. My mam wanted a bacon sandwich (well done) and I ordered a bacon and egg sandwich. Couple of hot drinks. I was served by a very impressive waitress. Smiles; pleasantries and aesthetic splendour. I've had a word with myself for objectifying her, but she was quite the delight. Mam's sarnie was as ordered, mine was lovely. We both really enjoyed our breakfast. Will be back. Well done Jan's!

Quick call for take away sandwich really enjoyed staff really good and friendly too 5star plus. I will be back fore hot coffee and cake when the weather pick up thank you

Whatever you order from Jans kitchen you won't be disappointed. Iv never had a salad that tastes so good!! The Cakes are amazing too!! Take note...the Mars marshmallow cake is amazing!! the staff are also very friendly. 5 Stars!!

Was having my hair done in Ponteland & the girls offered to get me a sandwich from here, delicious! Cheese savoury in a lovely, big, fresh bun, tons of filling, under £4.00. Excellent value, will definitely return for a proper visit. Highly recommended!

As a group of ten cyclists travelling the Rievers route from Whitley Bay to Bellingham on July 1st 2016, I arranged a few days before with Jan and her staff to stop for a group breakfast. We arrived as a group at 10 am which is quite a busy time of day. All our concerns were put aside when we arrived to find three tables joined up to accommodate our group. Even though the café was very busy, our breakfasts which had been pre ordered from the menu, were quickly served and eaten with gusto.We all agreed that Jan's Kitchen was a perfect Gem for cyclists on The Rievers Route and the service extended us by Jan and staff was second to none. Thank you all from the Hunting Lodge charity cycle team.

We visited Jan's on recommendation whilst on a flying visit to Ponteland and we were more than pleased that we did. The tearoom was very cosy, staff very friendly, the crayfish sandwich was excellent (all the food looked good) and reasonably priced. We fully recommend Jan's and will not hesitate to call again if & when in the area again. Many thanks to all concerned.W & N BrowneDarlington

My friend and I went here on Friday morning . Service was excellent. Even though breakfasts finished at 11 am and it was 11.30 my friend still was given bacon and egg sandwich ,which was piled high with bacon and s beautiful runny egg . she struggled to finish it .The cafe is compact but is well set out and very clean

Often stop by for a coffee on a nice day, sit outside with my Labrador and enjoy the sunshine. Simple, friendly and well located.

We visited Jan's before our holiday trip to the lake district.We were there with another family the cafe is small but the food is first class full english with hot drink and toast all in for one price great value for money very quaint cafe with very friendly and attentive staff.Have visited Jan's several times for breakfast.

We call in here regularly. Lovely coffee, great food, friendly and prompt service.Unprentious, good value and delightful setting. We highly recommend it.

This little gem is in Ponteland village on the main street. It serves great home cooked delights at a very reasonable price.Staff are friendly and accommodatingHome made scones/cakes are delicious. Worth a visit.

Small place but great choice of food either for lunch or just a cup of tea. Staff very friendly. Offers free internet and have small car park

This cafe never fails to please - drinks piping hot and breakfast rolls always fresh and tasty.Good value and comfy surroundings .

This is a lovely little spot that offers great food at extremely reasonable prices, especially for 'posh' Ponteland! Though small it sits quite a few people without anyone feeling squashed, It has a great location for cyclists, especially if you are using the Reivers route as it is only about 30m off the path! Cakes looked good so will have to return to try them as we were too full on this occasion.

Friendly service and food is very reasonably priced. Does great buffets for all occasions as well. I should know I've ate at a few of them. Keep the good work up!

We stumbled on this place whilst driving down to WaitroseFast efficient and a tasty lunch. We ordered lentil and bacon soup which was really nice.

Smashing little cafe in the heart of Ponteland. It's clean, serves delicious food and the staff and service are excellent. Top class!
