No 10 Cafe in County Durham

I took mum here for breakfast last week as we were staying in the area but when I asked what gluten free options were available the lady said "nothing". We had a coffee and left to find somewhere to eat - luckily the bakery/cafe along the street had a couple of sweet options available.

Fabulous breakfast, superb quality food presented wonderfully. Friendly staff and a smart and comfortable venue. Would definitely eat there again if we are in the area.

Lovely cafe, we sat outside both times as had our dog with us. Coffee good, cheese scones delicious and staff very friendly.

Food OK but nothing special. Nicely presented but on the pricey side. Tables crammed in. Glass table top badly scarred all over, a potential breeding ground for germs, needs to be replaced. Unlikely that we would ever visit again.

Where's the lovely inviting staff gone!? Walked in no one smiled just looked at me like 'why are you here'! Dark dingy decor and dark dingy staff. Got a bowl of chunky chips and a cranberry juice for just over £6. In another review it says they don't do gluten free food because of the health risk but they do dairy free food 🤨 makes me worry how dairy free it is if they can't do gluten free! Tables are too close together have to squidge round one another! There was only 3 tables being used and not many reserved but they sat us all down in a line so definitely squished! Overall I wouldn't recommend unfortunately. Would love to be able to recommend to bring people to the area but not this cafe. Would be greatly improved by some light coloured decoration and some atleast smiling not arms crossed 'huffy' staff!

Poor service, asked about gluten free food only to be told that there was nothing on the menu! So now not even a jacket potato contains gluten- ridiculous…..and why so dark? We found a lovely cafe along the road who were so accommodating!

Served by an Incredibly rude lady who clearly had no patience or customer service training. I won't be returning. Seriously gone downhill since the previous owner left. Try Peggotys round the corner. Much friendlier and welcoming.

Visited with friends for a late lunch. Had phoned prior to visit to ask if I could book a table and was told they didn't take reservations so surprised when we arrived to find the only table available had a reserved sign on it!! Asked if we could sit there as it was obviously reserved (despite being told they didnt take bookings?) and was told it was ok. Placed was packed, with lots of families with young children as it was half term. Very noisy. Far too many tables which are placed too close together, making it difficult to get to a table never mind having to navigate to the counter to order food and drinks. Think they could do with losing at least one table. 2 menus were placed under the glass on the table making it impossible for all 4 people to read them without either standing up (impossible as no room to do so) or swoppong seats. We resorted to removing from under the glass!! Menu choice was good, not too expensive. Service was prompt. Food was very tasty although one of our items was toasted when we had wanted a plain sandwich but we accepted it as it would have meant 3 of us would have been eating while one sat waiting for the sandwich to be remade. Will probably return but certainly not during school holidays. Oher draw backs: having to order food at the counter - even a lot of pubs these days offer table service - and having to pay for food when ordering.

At first I wasn't sure if the cafe was open, as it seemed to be in darkness. As we entered, we were asked if we were having food or just coffee. I hadn't stopped to read the menu outside the front door as it was cold and raining, so I asked if I could sit at a table and see the menu before I decided. We ordered food which arrived after only a short wait. It was tasty and nicely presented and the staff were polite. The cafe was nicely furnished and decorated, but unfortunately it felt dull and gloomy as it was very dark inside with only a few ceiling spotlights on. The window blinds were also pulled about two thirds down and as it was quite a dark rainy day, there was no extra natural light coming in. I wondered if there was a problem with the lights but I didn't like to ask. Our table was quite cramped in a space near the door to the toilet. My chair almost touched the chair at the table behind which meant that customers wanting to visit the toilets were having to squeeze past between the two chairs. After a few customers had squeezed through and back, I decided to push our table along to make more space. I would have preferred a different table as there were others free, but on a previous visit I had asked to move tables but was told it wasn't possible as I must have a table for two, even though the cafe was very quiet on that occasion. Therefore I didn't ask this time. To summarise, the food was nice, staff polite, but it was very dark which unfortunately made it feel cold and unwelcoming despite the efforts of the staff.

We stumbled across Cafe No 10 this morning as we didn't fancy anywhere else that was open. The full English was excellent, tea in a big pot that didnt spill all over the place plus free refill, lovely brown read thickly sliced with real butter.The staff were charming. If we're ever in the area again this will be our first port of call. Thank you. Anne and Ian from Doncaster.

Went to have a coffee and cafe to find adverts to stop paying your energy bills! I asked the manager why only to get told to “Shut my mouth and get out”. Oh and for me never to come back. I was hoping for an more mature discussion as energy and fuel are at crisis point….however, not to be.

Been three times since the change of ownership and its excellent. Delicious food, lots of choice, good service and its deservedly popular, there is also some outside seating where you can watch the local world go by, can get rather "tight" and crowded indoors at times. I can particularly recommend the paninis with chips and salad and coleslaw, and the Sausage, mash and peas and onion gravy. The new owners have made this the centre of Wolsingham social life in the daytime ! Very popular with locals and walkers.

Bad food and bad service. I went there for Saturday lunch, ordered jacket potato, the tomatoes in salad had gone off, colour changed and tasted awful, and the lettuce was dirty and went black already, you can see it from the photo. When I pointed out to a waitress, she said everything was fresh, did even say sorry!!Terrible!

I just love this cafe. There is seating inside and out, the staff are all lovely and the food and drinks are always freshly prepared and delicious. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

4 of us visited today after a run around the Wolsingham area. We sat outside for 10 to 15 minutes but nobody came out to take an order so 3 of us went inside to order. Stood at the counter for 5 minutes and were totally ignored by 3 members of staff who did not even have the grace to acknowledge our presence. After 5 minutes standing like statues we left. Absolutely no customer awareness shown. Just a simple "Hello, we will be with you in a minute" would have been fine. We will not be returning in any great hurry

After a visit in 2020 I left a 5 star review on here but very disappointed after visiting again today. I asked the staff if it had changed hands in the last couple of years and was told that it had - it’s very obvious that standards & value for money have dropped as a result. The fish finger sandwich used to be amazing but sadly, it’s now served on dry, unbuttered, thin and cheap bread with hardly any tartar sauce instead of the thick, fluffy bakery loaf it once had. I had to ask for butter when I mentioned there was non - I wasn’t offered an apology or explanation as to why the bread was dry & without butter - despite the fact I was obviously dissatisfied. The home made coleslaw which used to accompany it has disappeared and the frozen chips were fewer. Very disappointing considering the £7.60 price. My mother chose quiche, chips and salad which arrived limp and soggy and unfortunately, upset her tummy and went straight through her so we had to return home immediately- cutting our day out short.£7.95 down the drain - literally. All condiments are now served in sachets instead of bottles and the cafe was dark as the interior lights in the ceiling weren’t switched on. For some reason there was also a shredder on the floor next to our table - why?? Such a shame that the quality has dropped so much but the price remains high. We will not be returning

I’ve recently visited this cafe with the girls, we were greeted by the nicest member of staff. He was full of smiles and very chatty. The food was delicious, I ordered a cheese and ham toasty and a carrot cake. The portion size was great and very filling. Will definitely come back, thanks very much

Beautiful, clean with excellent service. I had a full English which arrived piping hot with all top quality products. Possibly the best breakfast I've ever had out. Highly recommended!!!

We stayed in a cottage for a week and this cafe was just around the corner. The food is honestly the best we’ve ever had. The sandwiches are amazing and the bread is to die for. Had a traditional breakfast before our journey home and what a way to finish our holiday. We would make the 6 hour round trip just to come and eat here again. People are also so polite, chatty and helpful, couldn’t ask for anything more xx

We have visited her many times and it never fails to impress. It is a great place for coffees food and comfortable surroundings. Staff very polite and efficient and food is great very tasty and large portions. Great to see staff still adhering to covid...

Visited one weekday morning for breakfast, table was ready for us. Service welcoming and warm. Choices were plentiful and the wait was short for our orders. What lovely breakfasts we had. Thank you.

Fantastic bite to eat for me and the nipper, 2x traditional breakfasts, red hot, well cooked & well presented. We were asked by the owner if we wanted any condiments to finish off our toast after the breakfasts. We love coming here, always greeted with...

Having checked the opening times outside which said open til 3pm we ventured inside only to be confronted by the owner who told us very rudely that they were closing when it had just gone 2pm! We then remembered this had happened to us once...

Visited on a sunny day good outside seating however very nice inside with good social distancing . Menu on table under glass excellent idea. Great choice especially ham cheese pickle bloomer sandwich,fries,coleslaw. Coffee and cakes good choice. Served at table owner and staff very efficient...

The staff at this cafe were aggressive and hostile. My wife was moving a small table for our larger group two feet. When the staff informed her she could do it due to regulations. I pointed out that by using these tables we were achieving...

Absolutely wonderful: first class food, surroundings and service. Breakast was delicious and the coffee amazing. Lovely indoor and outdoor seating. Owner Mark is a credit to the place. Can't wait for our next visit.

Lovely place. Very tasty food, good portions and at very reasonable prices . Very friendly service All round a delight , and I would highly recommend

Best Cafe I’ve ever visited. Staff both very friendly and polite. Food and drinks are lovely. Highly recommend 💜

Best cafe ever. Mark and all staff are always pleasant and helpful every time we go. Tables outside set perfectly for social distancing as they are inside.. Spotlessly clean.. Food fantastic, cappuccino the BEST. Couldn't wish for more.. Well done everyone

Perfect location for refreshment, excellent food and drinks, very good service, polite and first class. Eating outside sitting at strategically placed tables to ensure social distancing is adhered to in all respects. No hesitation in visiting this cafe in the future as I couldn’t fault...

Having a week’s break in this area with friends and we’re so glad to have found this place. Been there every day and the staff could not have been more helpful. Delicious food and plenty of local knowledge! Thumbs up from Scotland!

What a great experience! I visited this cafe on a busy lunchtime and I was thoroughly impressed. You can tell the staff and chefs all take pride in what they do. Being on a bit of a health kick I opted for the Mediterranean risotto....

Used to go here quite a bit. Today the owner had a fit when we pulled two tables together for our family. Blaming the council and villagers etc. When I said that makes no sense in respect to social distancing he got very angry and...

Stopped after a lovely circular walk. It was nicely busy which we decided was a good sign, and it was. waitress found us a table promptly & quick service. Absolutely delicious food with huge portions that defeated us. Highly recommend.

Just had a delicious meal sitting outside in the sun. When we came to get up my husband was having difficulty so the boss man and staff plus customers helped him into the car. So very kind and so much appreciated.

Delicious food, great coffee and welcoming hosts. The cooked breakfast was fabulous. Will definitely return to try the rest of the great looking menu!

A modern but cosy cafe setting with outdoor pavement seating in warmer weather. Nice home made cakes.

We came across this fab cafe whilst cycling on a tandem-having set off that day from Alston and after a bit of climbing we were grateful for some good coffee and food (jacket potato and a panini). Whilst we were there we had a lovely chat with Mark, the owner, and when he found out that the tandem and it's owner were travelling all the way to Beijing he offered us more coffee and cake on the house, which powered us on to Durham.

The best fish finger sarnie in existence! You must have it if you visit! Home made fish cakes with chips and salad are lush too. Followed by amazing hot chocolate with all the trimmings, rocky road and gorgeous cake. Absolutely to die for. Thanks for a delicious meal topped off with friendly service!

Very nice pleasant staff and Cathy had coffee and a slice of caramel and Bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich didn’t expect to get chips with it fantastic

Visited for the first time for coffee and a caramel slice. Great atmosphere and service, fabulous owner and staff. We will return and look forward to it.

Great for coffee ... scone too large and too dry ..so not impressed by cakes etc ...cafe had very ambient atmosphere .. a very locals type of cafe ... would visit again if only for the coffee

Stopped here whilst cycling through Wolsingham, the service was excellent, the cafe clean, and coffee and cake represented good value, look forward to visiting again.

Sandwich arrived ok but after 10 minutes still no coffee, then they forgot the milk. No serviettes or cutlery arrived & it was a messy BLT although tasty...! I asked if they had forgot our coffee the waitress said “I didn’t take your order” ???We complained & the owner was apologetic & immediately gave a refund. I think he did enough to save the day...

Excellent food served pipeing hot, very attentives staff especially the proprietor.Would definitely recomend this place

Went here for breakfast was delicious the guy who serves the food with his expensive shoes is also very nice and adds to the experience

Food was superb and I suppose that is what an eating establishment is there to provide and that is why we gave it 5* , but ambience and being made welcome also are important . The young man who we first encountered was great and took our order in a friendly and efficient manner , there was also serving / table waiting another older man who was not as friendly and whose attitude and body language was not welcoming . We overheard him telling another customer that he was the owner , well by all means be proud (and you should be) of your cafe but try to to enjoy what you have done here . As I have said food was superb and the fitting and fixtures , seating etc. are first class and with great service we will return .

Recommended by Trip - BUT oh dear - we were sitting outside in the sunshine. Our order (at the counter inside) was delivered by a sour faced young lady with attitude. She thumped the order so hard on the table that the coffee slopped over the saucers, napkin and table - No attempt to rectify - or apologise. We left our table to exchange the spoilt saucers and napkins for clean, but the attitude prevailed - Not good.

Came with my wife and 15week old daughter for an early breakfast. We were greeted through the door and the staff immediately made sure we had space and my daughter was comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely sausage and egg sandwich, coffee and a scone with jam and cream and coffee. The food and coffee were perfect and the staff were lovely and made a real fuss of my daughter making sure we had everything she needed.

I came to Wolsingham for my hen do and popped into no 10 for a hungover coffee and cake. We briefly mentioned why we were visiting and politely chatted about my upcoming big day.... the owner then came out with 2 bottles of Prosecco for me and my husband to be. What a thoughtful and lovely gesture. Thank you again and we can’t wait to visit again soon.

We popped in for a drink and cakes! The owner was lovely and the food was delicious! We mentioned our friend was getting married and he surprised her with a little bottle of Prosecco for her wedding day! Amazing place and would visit again.

Visited this beautiful little cafe post hen do with my friends. What lovely welcoming and friendly staff. Home made cakes were delightful. He chatted and ensured we were okay and then gave the bride a bottle of Prosecco as a present. Will defiantly be back to sample the food as it looked amazing.

1st time here even though we're locals but won't be the last! Had the 'traditional breakfast' x 2. Included eggs cooked as your choice, we had poached, 2 sausages, 2 slices of bacon, beans, tomatoes mushrooms, hash brown, black pudding. Plus toast! Everything cooked to perfection. Really nice surroundings and coffee bar, they had good menu plus specials for lunch. Not the cheapest, breakfast including drinks was £10 per person, but you wouldn't be needing lunch! Obviously lots of other lighter choices too. Service friendly and efficient. Well worth a trip if youre visiting this beautiful part of the world and would set you up well for a day of hiking, biking or sightseeing! Enjoy.

Popped in on Wednesday for a bite to eat with my wife and it was amazing from the service to the food....Met with smiling faces the place just had a great atmosphere.

Have called in previously but this visit was not as impressive.

Have called in previously but this visit was not as impressive.

A wonderfully warm and friendly restaurant.

Great friendly smiley staff and good service. They have a ramp for a wheelchair too. Had a home made hot cross bun which was delicious and a latté. My husband had a hot chocolate with cream and marsh mellows in a large mug which he said was yummy. You can sit outside watching the world go by, they even provide blankets for chilly winds which I thought was a lovely touch.

I called this morning and got a beacon butty and a latte, the bread was soft, tasty and crusty. But the beacon was cooked to perfection and scrumptious. The coffee was tremendous.

Popped in again for lunch and we were not disappointed. Tuna sandwich was immense and the service is great. Lots of options for coffee and great selection of fentimens cold drinks. Will certainly return.

We were staying at a lodge in Stanhope for my 60th birthday so on the Saturday we decided to visit no 10 coffee shop in Wolsingham we arrived there at 2.30pm we asked are we ok for food no we close at 3pm we said it was only 2.30pm they looked at each other and that was it we left. We only wanted a snack and a drink but they were ignorant it wasn’t busy so we went elsewhere and spent £44 their loss but from their attitude they weren’t that bothered. It’s a shame as the reviews of people who actually had chance to eat there are quite good I would like to think the owner wasn’t present as if they were then that makes it worse.

Called for a light lunch. The food was good but the portions were for us a little over-generous. My daughter had to take half of her sandwich home! It was nice to get a few chips but sadly no salad which I'd rather had.

As I was working in the area I popped in here on the off chance they did take out coffee. They did and as an added bonus ‘giant biscuits’. Namely Bourbon, Custard Cream and Jammie Dodger. Lovely coffee as well.

Called in on my last day before travelling home. Service was friendly and efficient. Only had a latte so can't comment on the food. It was ok, nothing special. The cakes looked nice but not enough to tempt me.

What a lovely little find! Called in for a late breakfast before walking to Tunstall Reservoir and so pleased we did. Very welcoming and nice food and coffee. We will definitely return.

Took my brother-in-law here for breakfast on the morning of his wedding. We were given prosecco to toast him and the owner / manager was charming. Gluten-free toast and dairy-free latte (is that even possible...?!) for the groom was as surprising as it was welcome for him.

You can sit on the corner outside no10 and watch the world go by while drinking fab coffee, the staff are so helpful and so happy always a smile for there customers

A stylish, modern and welcoming place to visit. We often call here after a quick walk around nearby Tunstall Reservoir (which takes about an hour at steady pace). We look forward to calling at No10 afterwards for one of their gorgeous home-made scone (cherry+almond, fruit or cheese). All are lovely! Would recommend this place to anyone as we love it! Great choice of food available

Great place to pop in for a hearty meal and your choice of beverage. If the weather is fair you have the opportunity to sit outside and watch Wolsingham inhabitants go about their daily bits and pieces.

Just called for hot drinks while out for a walk and enjoying the countryside in the area. Service was good, otherwise nothing to make it special.

This coffee shop runs so smoothly. The staff are friendly, very welcoming and highly efficient at their jobs. Coffee and tea were great, as were the cakes, scones and pastry tarts that we had, all beautifully served. Very pretty location, with parking either outside, on the road, or around the corner in a free car park. Well worth a visit. Thank you boys, we will certainly be back.

sat outside this morning and had good coffee...asked for very weak and got it which sometimes doesnt happen elsewhere and a huge fruit scone each...not cheap but worth every penny....will certainly call again when we are next in the area.

Been the last couple of days for lunch whilst I have been working away. First day had a vanilla latte and tuna panini. This was yummy but I was still charged £7 for the panini even though I had this without fries and salad, I contested this and was told it is still the same price- never come across something like before and thought it was a bit steep! As I enjoyed my drink I went back again the next day for one to go but this was foul! I asked for vanilla latte and got a plain latte. The staff all seemed quite young and don't seem to have much work experience! Shame because it looks great and the cakes look good too!

Brilliant place. Lovely fresh food well presented, good coffee, great service with a smile, cafe nicely done inside (couple tables outside). A lot of care, thought and effort has been put into this place. It's a lovely place to stop for lunch or a good coffee and nice cake. Highly recommended. Well done guys!!

Wow, one of best cooked breakfasts ever, quality ingredients, cooked to perfection, great friendly service , it’s the little things like a hot plate to stop it getting cold that make a difference. Highly recommended

we have eaten here a few times and the food is really good and freshly made. It can get quite busy at times, coffee, sandwiches and hot meals are all high quality. We have 3 small children who were a bit messy and trying out different seats, however the owner is really friendly and helpful and looked after them, it makes a massive difference to have such friendly service and he made us very welcome. you can park in the square but often busy so we usually park in the park which is a couple of hundred yards away near the river.

We chose this cafe when we were in Wolsingham looking at motorhomes and were very happy with our choice. It is family run, spotless and serves great food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend visiting if you are in the area

As a "regular" calling at No. 10 I have always been aware that everyone is treated extremely well. You get what you pay for and the food is top class along with the service and management. If anyone can find fault they should go to a "greasy spoon" for a cuppa. JC

Fresh modern feeling cafe with a great selection of cakes to tempt you. I enjoyed a very good flat white. The cheese and pickle panini was excellent. Satisfactory choice for vegetarians. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

Reasonable food although not a huge choice but very overpriced for the quality of basic cafe food. Staff too busy chatting to be helpful and not too friendly unless you are a ‘regular’. Better sandwiches from the local Spar shop who also do hot food!

Very smart and fresh cafe, cosy too. Excellent coffee, friendly, well trained staff, handy location.

This wee place is a little gem, excellent customer skills and a wide range of excellent foodstuffs to sample and all reasonably priced as well.

We’ve been to Wolsingham twice this year for a short break. On both occasions we called into No10 Cafe for tea and cake. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The scones were warm and delicious. We got a proper big pot of tea with extra hot water to top up. The prices are in line with other cafes we have visited. Would definitely recommend.

Three of us visited No 10 for lunch, 2 fish pies and a cannelloni. Lovely ambiance and very nice food. Highly recommended.

Just had a lovely breakfast at this beautiful cafe .We would definitely recommend 5 star service food outstanding will be back xx

Nice cafe fresh meals are very good value situated in a nice village in the countryside

Clean and comfortable. Nice coffee and scones but on the pricey side. Seat in toilet won't stay open so life for gents is a bit tricky!

Had my first ever Fish Finger Sandwich - absolutely fabulous. Staff very accommodating with menu changes.

Recently moved to the area and kitchen at home is out of bounds for the day so as a family we went to Nos10 for breakfast. The food was delicious & served on hot plates which really kept our breakfast lovely and warm. The service was excellent - very friendly and helpful. The cafe is exceptionally clean with a great choice of food and drinks. Also baby friendly.

We revisited the cafe, after our previous less than glowing experience. Again with children, who were well behaved. The staff were welcoming, the food, not cheap but very well presented, and delicious, so I would like to completely refute my previous impression, and say how nice a visit it was.

Fui con mi amigo y niños ayer, el personal era encantador; no sólo con el servicio, pero con los niños. La comida era genial, me dieron un panini, con una excelente relación calidad-precio. El chocolate caliente de lujo es increíble pero enorme! Mi hijo de 14 años fue derrotado y no pudo terminar. Bien merece una visita, mientras que en el dale.

Warm friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, great coffee and the cheesiest cheese scones you could ask for.

What a cracking cafe... Food was spot on,clean and made with care and attention. Smiles and great service from the staff with nothing a problem.. The place was busy and had a lovely vibe about it... Deffo going back with the family... Why can't all cafe's put the same effort in... Thanks No 10...

Really good breakfast today!2 eggs (normally have to ask for an extra one) plus a good selection of sausage, bacon, black pud etc.All really well cooked and served on a hot plate to keep it warm.Cakes looked really good to but couldn't manage one.......pity.Worth a visit!

We stopped off in Wolsingham on our way from Newcastle to Carlisle. No 10 sits overlooking the town square, it looks smart and clean from the outside and is equally smart and clean on the inside. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door, always a good sign of customer service. We opted for the full breakfast which arrived with perfect timing and was a really lovely looking plate of food, too much for us both as it happens but really good quality ingredients.The Owner (not sure if thats true) was very friendly and came and asked about where we were heading and was very happy to make suggestions for the local area. I lovely find in an area we don't know, but worth a detour if you are within striking distance. No hesitation in giving it 5/5.

Superb and wide range of quality food - great modern atmosphere. Management very much hands on to make sure everyone is happy with the food and enjoys the visit.Well worth our 35 mile round trip.

Lovely quaint cafe in centre of village. The staff are amazing and coffee was lovely did have a scrumptious scone but cant comment on full meals. I definitely intend to visit again when in area. First class service xx

lovely modern cafe due to delivery error had no sausages for breakfast yet near a good butchers where sausages could have been sourced rather than blame a delivery

We had just arrived in Wolsingham at the start of a week's holiday and decided to take a short stroll around the village. No 10 made a perfect stop on a wet Saturday afternoon. We were greeted with a warm smile and a great cup,of coffee. I, also, enjoyed a delicious slice of sausage roll. We sat next to the book shelves and spent a leisurely 40 minutes dipping into a variety of photo books. A great place to pass time.

Popped in for a late breakfast before we went for a walk in the dale. We managed to miss the breakfast menu and had to look jealously on at other peoples which looked very nice. We picked off the lunch menu and I had a lovely pannini. The menu and options were extensive, and my wife was very impressed with her coffee. Would recommend for either breakfast, lunch, snacks or drinks if you are in the area.
