Jills in Northumberland

Superb cafe great cake try the delicious hot chocolate drink with marshmallows really good. Carrot cake was good a massive slice aswell but best of all the views from the cafe into Allendale are outstanding

Well worth a visit. Great food and friendly staff. Great views.

Cycling friendly. Good food and superb views.

Lovely spot for breakfast, lunch or tea & great for all weather seating. We asked for breakfast that wasn't on the menu and Jill was very accommodating as can be seen from the photo. The food came quickly, was hot & delicious - great value for money. Home made raspberry jam for our toast was yummy too. Great choice of cakes, tray bakes & scones. We'll definitely be back. The ginger cake was light and very tasty - thank you ;) It was a pleasure to meet Lady Grey.

What a little gem, found by my son, when planning our hike in the Allendale area. Loved it! Beautifully located, well established and run by lovely ladies. Sat outside and enjoyed the vista of our stunning Northumbrian countryside. Being an ex farm girl - the free range hens were an added bonus!

Enjoyed very tasty lunch with a wonderful view

Delicious soup and sandwich, and mouthwatering salted caramel cheesecake. Friendly and welcoming staff and owner. All food homemade. Dog friendly. Incredible views.

Great place , food is excellent the staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome lots of homade food which I found really much nicer than other cafe who buy in , called in with our little legs 🐶 and she got a treat well worth a visit 😊.

Never any issues at Jill's Catering. Always lovely food and a friendly atmosphere. The views are also an extra added bonus.

Excellent cooked food, fantastic sandwiches but the desserts and cakes are simply the best.

Lovely place for brunch, lunch or just a cake. Soo friendly. spectacular views. Hope cooked. Used by cyclists. Outside eating if weather good with sheltered or warm inside areas. Loved by locals. Easy parking.

Fantastic place with wonderful views over the valley. Service good staff friendly and of course the food is homemade and great

Very friendly welcome, good atmosphere, great views and excellent food. We'll be back!

We've called in a couple of times when walking in the area. The first time, we didn't know it existed but spotted it and thought we'd give it a go. The weather was good so we sat outside having nice hot drinks and scones. The views were fantastic as was the food and drink. We've since called in on the way back from another walk and this time we had drinks and cake, the salted caramel cheesecake was probably one of the nicest desserts I've ever had, amazing! The food that was coming out all looked great, we'll definitely return to have a proper meal. Lovely service and food in a great spot.

Been a few times, staff are really accommodating and friendly. Food is first class and they put up with my low carb diet fads 🤣.

An amazing location, fab cafe and the very best live music nights!

Great food with friendly staff in a venue with spectacular views across the valley. Popped in as driving past and was very impressed, we will return. The cakes are especially good.

We live just down the hill…we can see the tea room from the back garden! So why go there? The easy answer is that it’s outstanding. It’s not flash… it’s not Michelin… but never aimed to be. The team are always ALWAYS friendly and go out of their way to bring you the best service. Even on a busy day it happens pretty quickly too. As for the food…. Wow! People have raved about the bacon sandwich…but for me the crowning glory is Jill’s Carrot Cake! I’ve had a lot of them… all over the place… but Jill’s is simply the best I’ve ever come across - moist, fruity, great topping - just fabulous! The cheesecakes are also great (still exploring those) but the carrot cake…..can’t be beaten in my view. We even bought a whole one for our daughter’s birthday cake a couple of years ago! So… hungry… get to Jill’s place! And then there’s the view! This is Northumberland - expect grey and cloud… but when it lifts…what a vista from the terrace!

We keep returning to Jill's not just because the food is great but also for the friendly welcome and brilliant service.

A great place to go, with great food, great service, and an amazing view. Happy and kind service, even though it’s small, they make the most of the space with outdoor, indoor and a nice sheltered spot at the front

Lovely home made produce with beautiful views. Exceeded our high expectations. We will be back to sample some different delights.

Fabulous home made food. Lovely home made cakes and fantastic views.

Amazing food, gorgeous views and very friendly kind staff

Fabulous home cooked food with amazing views up the Allen valley.

Lovely place, we enjoyed our food and the choice of cakes ! The girls serving in the cafe were very friendly, the views over the valley spectacular

Really lovely home made food worth going to great staff

Lovely coffee shop/cakes/lunch menu. And the best view of the Allen valley. Definitely worth a trip out!! Lovely homemade cakes,cheesecakes to die for. Good scones!!! Best bacon sandwiches we have ever had!! A must if your in the area!!

Amazing food (especially cakes!) and lovely people!

Delicious cakes, spoilt for choice!! Lovely welcoming cafe with magnificent views, a must

Stopped by yesterday for cheesecake and coffee, fabulous, taking in the stunning views. Had a takeaway piece of corned beef pie for tonight, best around, probably!!! Just proper👍.

Excellent home made pie and best banoffe pie in the known universe can recommend

We really enjoyed our stop at Jill's. Good food and coffee, very friendly staff and a great view.

Anyone thinking of opening a cafe should visit Jill's for a masterclass! Excellent food, well presented, generous portions,good value, lovely views but what sets it apart is the excellent service. My family of 5 visited on Friday and Saturday, it was busy but the service was spot on, efficient, warm and friendly. I can see why locals would keep returning. It's only open Fri-Sun - a treat for the end of the week!

Delicious, freshly made, food and drink served with good humour and a friendly smile. What what more could you ask for. Highly recommended and we will most definitely be back for more.

Lovely tearoom/cafe fresh food and cakes and the views are stunning what's not to like

A hidden gem, the coffee cake is superb

What a wonderful surprise and well worth the detour on our way home. Highly recomended

Everything very good, service, value, setting and enjoyed food very much

Very good food home made. Lovely staff what more do you need.

Great place. very friendly. Lovely food

Beautiful spot, lovely surrounding food and staff excellent, will certainly go back again

Really friendly with excellent service and food. Highly recommended. Pro tip: the car park can be a tight squeeze if you have a larger vehicle, but it is possible to park on the roadside nearby which, for us, worked out much better.

Fantastic lunch with a superb view. Only visiting the area, and was recommended. Will be calling again.

Great find - lovely pot of tea - cakes and food really good and generous portions. We were able to sit outside an enjoy the views but from Monday May 17 the will be on side as well. Really friendly and got those who felt chilly they brought out fleeced and blankets. Highly recommend a stop here.

Lovely tea room. Excellent service, food and views. Well worth a visit.

A warm welcome, excellent service and lovely refreshments with a fabulous view.

Visited today, lovely take away scone with jam and coffee. Staff are so friendly and obliging, and very hard working!, Can't resist a slice of cheesecake, YUMMY! Thank you.

The only disappointment about Jill's is that Greggs pasties will never taste the same again after you have tried the delicious offerings served up by Jill! Great food at great prices.

Stopped off on our way back from holiday here for cake and coffee. What a lovely place! The outside tables have beautiful views for miles, staff are such nice people and the quality of the food and drink is very high. We have noted the address in our holiday guide and will be back

Found this gem of a cafe by pure luck! Amazing food, wonderful views and friendly service. Took away scrumptious cakes too. We will be back ..... even though we live in Glasgow!

Food excellent ,,,service excellent,,,,,view excellent ,,,

I found this tea room by chance noticing the small sign on the main rd between Hexham and Allendale and decided to pop in for a cup of tea and a jacket potato with prawns and salad along with a raspberry and almond cake. I was greeted with a spacious car park and a modern refurbished interior with both indoor and outdoor seating available. There is plenty of choice on the menu and I can safely say I was highly satisfied with the quality and quantity of everything I ordered! The prices were also very reasonable and combine all this with a friendly atmosphere and beautiful window views makes this one of the best tea rooms I’ve ever visited. Without a doubt I shall be back the next time I’m in the local area!

Excellent homemade food, excellent customer service but most importantly, run by lovely people which makes this place truly outstanding

What a little gem. Nice journey to get there. Tasty food with friendly service and stunning views. Our favourite bolt -hole.

Great home made food friendly place lovely

Popped in for afternoon coffee... The homemade scone with homemade raspberry jam and clotted cream was delicious and fruit pavlova that my husband chose looked very impressive! We'll be back when we are in the area again.

The views of the valley are reason enough to visit, but these are matched by the home baking & cooking. Everything fresh & tasty, can’t recommend this hidden gem highly enough Plus the staff are super friendly!

Fabulous home made food in a glorious setting , staff are lovely and friendly which gives this out of the way tea room a must to visit !!!

A lovely place for coffee or lunch friendly service with a lovely selection of home made cakes and pies. Fantastic views across the valley and free parking Well worth a regular visit 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent food and fantastic service.

Only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday to get this magical view out over the Allen Valley. Tasty homemade food with lovely cakes! 😋

Brilliant value, quality and friendliness.

Grand place for afternoon tea, with great cakes and fantastic views over the Allen Valleys. Friendly service - what more do you need?

We visited Jill's on a Sunday afternoon to sample her home made cakes and tea. The three cheesecakes (lemon, white chocolate with raspberry and chocolate Whispa) were delicious and the service really friendly and professional. We'll be back!

Excellent food and service great views of the allendale dales

Really nice banoffee pie, I recommend this highly.

Good grub,nice staff,tremendous views.just of the main road outside Catton,on the Hexham road.good selection of snacks and meals.

Lovely home baked cakes and scones, tea, sandwiches, pies etc and a great view while you're eating them.
