Oxford Farm Shop and Tea Room in Northumberland

What an unwelcoming, miserable place. We stopped en route to Berwick but it was so grim looking we had a change of heart before even getting out the car and drove off. Later that day on the way home we were desperate for a cup of tea and having read the reviews which said it's not as bad as it looks, we decided to give the place a try. We arrived at 3.35pm having checked the website and Google for opening times. Both said open until 5pm. We walked into the shop, not a soul to be seen but voices from the back could be heard. We coughed , said hello a couple of times but no one came out. We walked through to the next room adjacent to the door into the tearoom. All in darkness. But I spotted a lady through the window of the door into the kitchen and she spotted me but didn't move. She was too busy talking to her colleague. She looked at me 3 times before finally coming out and when I asked if we could get a cup of tea she said they'd stopped serving at 3.30pm. It was 3.40 at this point. All we wanted was a cuppa. Appalling service, not a smile or an apology in sight. And no information online with café opening times. Businesses like this don't deserve to be in business.

What an amazing place , doesn't look much from outside, but ignore that. Small menu, but what they offer is brilliant. Took my mum and dad as they were driving me around at the minute due to a broken wrist. We all had the Oxford soup lunch Soup and half a baguette Fruit or cheese scone Homemade meringue with cream Caramel shortbread Tea or coffee . All for £8.95.

We popped here for some PYO strawberries. Fantastic price and the strawberries were lovely. We all stopped for coffee & cake at the wee cafe afterwards. There isn't a massive choice on the menu but plenty for a wee afternoon snack. In our party we had meringues, scones, chocolate crispy cake and lemon drizzle cake. All said they were lovely! We also bought their own meringues and some biscuits from the shop to. Lovely little place and hopefully we'll be back for pumpkins in the autumn!

Genuine farm with tearoom. Initial impressions unsure but once we were greeted, we received a very warm welcome and the most generous and delicious home cooked food. Proper cup of tea and copious amount!

Amazing food very fresh and good service 100% everytime ,even bought some meringues to bring home as their crispy on the out and goowie in the middle

A lovely little shop with a lovely bright cafe. Staff were amazing and very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Delicious scones and lemon drizzle cake and lovely big mug of coffee. We also purchased some cookies/biscuits and meringue to takeaway (highly recommend purchasing these) 10/10 definitely worth a visit if you are near!! Oh yeah and lovely jars of jams. Good prices!

Doesn't look much from the outside it does look a bit run down but the food was delicious and staff were really nice. All food was very fresh and tasty. Great portion sizes.

Called in today for lunch, looking forward to a home cooked mince and dumpling and apple crumble and custard or similar as we have had quite a few times on our annual trips to Berwick. We have previously given this place 5 stars despite the dilapidated appearance and calling itself a farm shop when in reality they only sell jam and meringues as we have enjoyed good hearty food at reasonable prices. Not to be today though as we were told they no longer serve hot food. So after looking forward to a hot lunch a scone was not really going to tempt us to stay, we up and left for pastures new.

To advertise this place on the A1 as a ‘farm shop’ is misleading; when I arrived, I wondered whether I was in the right place. The ‘farm shop’ seemed to comprise of a small, untidy side room near the entrance with a fridge full of biscuits and meringue cases (why in a fridge?) and a couple of shelves with jams and chutneys. There was nothing on sale that you would normally associate with a farm shop, such as fruit and vegetables, hams, cheeses, eggs, deli products and bakery goods. The whole place had an air of neglect about it, with a car park full of weeds and rusting caravans. I didn’t bother with the cafe, which I suppose might have been the redeeming feature, because I could see no other reason why anyone would want to visit this place.

A super cafe, with delicious & very reasonably priced food. Yes, the menu is limited but this is more than made up for by the excellent quality - and quantity - in each "menu option". We opted for the menu choice of lentil soup & crusty bread, followed by a choice of scones; and finished with meringues & cream, plus a wee millionaire's shortbread. This all comes with the choice of tea or coffee. Our tea came in a proper china pot, with a jug of milk and a pot of hot water alongside. The soup was superb (pun intended & fully warranted) and the home-made scones & cakes were first class. Our cheese scone and fruit scone were freshly baked & perfect! The similarly perfect meringues are made there, and can be purchased in the shop The service from the cheery lady who also works in the small shop, was excellent. Unbelievably this entire feast cost well under £9 each. (After our lunch we bought the farm's home-made raspberry jam and one of their chutneys.) The café itself is small with an old-fashioned feel, but it's delightful. There were customers of all ages while we were there, from babies to pensioners. Locals obviously love it. Parking on the premises is easy & free. What a find! We'll return when we"re again in this area. Recommended!

We have been twice and it was closed both times. Were there just now. Website says they’re open till 4 today, Saturday. Nope. Closed again. Went to buy their jam which is very good if you can find it.

On the A1? Tired? The Oxford Farm shop is a proper job - not stuffed with trinkets but loads of jams/chutneys and the best meringues ever! There's a great view from the conservatory as you wok your way through soup with bread, fruit or a cheese scone, a meringue and cream and caramel shortbread and with one of the best pots of tea I've ever had outside of home. Not fancy, but clean and honest.

Where do I start I only give a good review when everything is good and today was a shock for myself and family brought tears to my sons eyes Customer service was beyond a joke I only asked if I could sit outside also do you do a takeaway was told to fxck off and this wasn't the place for me or my family unbelievable to be honest I cant understand how this business is still open avoid this place Disgusting dirty stinking grovel no excuse for bad manners

We decided to stop here for lunch and to browse the farm shop, after seeing the brown tourist sign on the A1, but we were very disappointed. The “farm shop” may technically be labelled as such because it sells some items on a farm, but in reality this isn’t a farm shop when compared to other examples such as Chatsworth farm shop. Apart from fresh raspberries, a small assortment of jams, and some biscuits and pavlova there really wasn’t anything here. The venue was dark, uninviting and in need of a refurbishment. We didn’t stay to eat at the team room due to the overall impression from inside the shop - we didn’t want to take a chance! How this establishment got a brown tourist sign I don’t know. I wouldn’t recommend a visit.

Well my first visit to this "farm shop'. People who give it 5 stars clearly are easily impressed by a mediocre experience. The tea room itself was cold and uninviting but I had stopped by the shop to buy local produce. Well useful if you like some home baking and jam etc but little else. Compared to the premier farm shops on the A66 this was disappointing. A revamp and some imagination in marketing could turn this into a little gem as North Northumberland could use a decent farm shop ideally placed by the A1.

Happened to be passing and saw the sign .Outside cluttered with shipping containers and other storage but once inside just fine .we had the soup which was excellent all fresly made on site hot and tasty .Prices VERY reasonable .Farm shopsmall but all products home made especially the meringues !well worth a visit

best value for money coffee and scones around had soup scone meringue caramel square coffee for £7.50 bloody lovely not a posh place but your not paying posh price

We expecting better after seeing the brown tourist signs on the A1, however as soon as we entered the premises it felt like you were dropping in unexpectedly on your ageing grandparents. Decor reminiscent of the 70s (badly painted over peeling wallpaper) ingrained stained tables and the most basic of menus. The coffee was of the cheap instant variety (probably Aldi or something) and you could have it either white or black. It tasted so awful, water would have been a better option. The farm shop wasn't much better with very little choice, so unlike a normal farm shop. Avoid.

On our way back from Scotland we stopped off for a cup of tea and a cake. The dining space is a lovely painted conservatory and the lady serving was polite and friendly. We all had the Oxford Tearoom Platter of a cheese scone, chutney and a slice of lemon cake plus tea or coffee. Absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced at £4.25. Highly recommend coming here if you are passing.

We are so glad we found this place. We had a delicious lunch from a limited menu where most of it is home made and cooked with care. The lunch with soup, scone and cakes was incredibly good value. The restaurant is also fully accessible...

Turned off the A1 and found a lovely, calm and traditional tea rooms. Very reasonable prices, excellent home-made soup, scones, meringues and biscuits. A nice big pot of tea and friendly and attentive staff. Lots of parking and a disabled slot for us (and they have an accessible loo too). But there's more ... they have pick your own raspberries on site, and these are great too! Hard to fault this lovely place: thoroughly recommended

Stopped in hoping for a cup of tea, it is looking very sad and unloved but we asked if they were open and were told “yes”. There were no other customers there and we have a little dog and asked whether she could come in....

Bought done shortbread, apricot chutney and plum jam. Also offers lovely different tea menus such as Oxford Tea and soup combo.

Andrew R from Liverpool's criticisms are ill-judged. His claim that serving a drink from a multi-pack of Coke is illegal is nonsense. Multi-pack restrict the retailer from splitting them and selling separately at a higher price may well be illegal but, one anyone has purchased...

Site is very closed down which is a real shame. If not reopening soon suggest signs in A1 need covering so all concerned do not make unnecessary visits/detours.

We always like to try smaller local places on holiday. Excellent value at £7.55 each. Had to take some with us to have later. Small and friendly place.

When on self catering holidays, we always look out for local farm shops and are seldom disappointed by the range and quality of produce. However Oxford Farm shop was extremely disappointing. It is a homely little cafe with a range of conserves and jams and...

Popped in after seeing it signposted off the A1 as I needed some sustenance. While the place needs a bit of tlc outside, ( however it is also a busy working farm) we were very pleasantly surprised with the quality and also the prices. Had...

Popped into Oxford farm shop Saturday 8th August, bought a jar of apple & Date chutney. Arrived home on monday 10th on putting it in the cupboard i noticed it was out of date not just by a few days but 5 months.Not only should...

visited 29/2/2020---huge portions of quality food at rock bottom price---prompt and courteous service by the staff

Been across the Border so what better way to finish off a mornings sightseeing than to have a hearty lunch at the Oxford Farm. Plenty of choice whether you chose from the lunch specials or from the comprehensive choices in the main menu. Mince and...

el desayuno fue muy bueno cuando viajé desde españa, aunque me hizo bastante viento después de comer frijoles dem beans

really bad farm shop don't sell enough jars of jam should pay their workers more, though there are great sandwiches but not jam or even PB and J sandwiches.

Having spent a disappointing visit to a closed Bamburgh castle, we spotted a sign for the Oxford farm tea room and shop. What an inspired choice! Cheese and salad cream sandwich with the other half opting for a cream tea, perfect!! Delicious all round, perfect...

Been here many times over the years.... the lentil soup is the best Lovely sandwiches , hot dinners and puddings too Kids picnic lunch was very much enjoyed by my son

Always call in when visiting Berwick area. Good quality food no matter what you chose from the menu whether it be sandwich or hot meal.

Well advertised on the A1, bit of a let down on arrival, but worth venturing inside, where you are welcomed and well looked after. Ideal if they put a note on the shop floor to indicate you are welcome to enter as it is not apparent.

My family and I have been here many, many times over the years. The food has always been plentiful, tasty and very reasonable in price and it was no different this time.There are also some nice little gifts for sale and preserves and pickles along with their fabulous meringues - a bag of which I come home with every year.Just one observation - the toilets - the potty - not as clean as they should be. Had they been, I would have given 5 stars!That apart - we'll be back next year!

It isn’t a farm shop, it’s tired, run-down, a bit scruffy, and not appealing from the outside...BUT, if you’d like some reasonably priced, homely food, albeit in a slightly tired location, visit. You won’t be disappointed. The food is lovely, excellent tea and coffee, lovely scones, and the food coming out of the kitchen looked really nice. It’s not expensive, but don’t be put off too much, it’s like going round for tea at a friend’s house, good, honest food. Yes, it could be decorated, yes, it could stock a full range of artisan cheeses, meats and deli items, and yes it could be made to look swanky...but maybe, just maybe, the owners don’t want that, and just want to serve good, honest food at reasonable prices. Eg. Scone, lemon cake and a drink for £3.95.

Me and my partner are currently staying at Berwick Caravan Park. We have visited Berwick every year for the past nearly 10 year. We always go to same places for food and thought we'd try somewhere new and came across this place.

Just came back from oxford farm tea rooms. Wow what a find everything home made and unbelievable prices. Mince and dumplings pots and 2 fresh veg. Followed by steamed ginger pudding and custard finishing with a lovely filter coffee, wait for it £7.70 per person. And it was FANTASTIC.

We visited the tea room for lunch last Sunday, wish we hadn’t bothered! First impressions - The place is filthy and in desperate need of refurbishment. The floor was disgusting, the walls covered in thick cobwebs, the bathroom was revolting, still had the dirty potty as mentioned in a previous review and a baby changing mat on the grubby floor. Despite this, the place was busy and we had heard good things about the food so stayed.

We regularly call in when we visit Berwick . The facilities are homely so don't expect the Ritz but if you want good quality food coupled with friendly service then pay it a visit.

Not what we expected , dirty child’s potty left in toilet , could do with being refurbished , and not a farm shop , would not go again

This Tearoom is set on a working farm. The food is good home cooked food with delicious homemade cakes. Including the best fruit scones ever, gorgeous meringues with cream and fresh strawberries and shortbread. Friendly service. The Tearoom is functional with a carpet in the conservatory that has seen better days. If you can overlook this small detail you will not be disappointed. The shop sells homemade preserves, loaded with fruit and flavour. Ensure you have an appetite if you order the set meal.

Given there's a tourist brown sign for farm shop inviting to come over - you'll be extremely disappointed. It's not a farm shop (it sells a few types of jam and some junk decorations, and pavlova meringue because it's 'purely British food'). Its got a cafe (or as they called it tearoom). Didn't eat there as wasn't convinced. But definitely not a farm shop!!!

This has become a regular lunch spot on our annual visit to Berwick. You need to see past the shabby untidy exterior and inside could do with updating but the tables are kept spotlessly clean. This place serves delicious homemade fare, large portions at very reasonable prices. We had mince and dumplings with mash and 2 veg and jam sponge pudding with custard and coffee and roast beef sandwiches served with side salad and chutney followed by a fruit scone with homemade jam and a large pot of tea for £14.00. The food was freshly made and very tasty and the waitress service was friendly and quick. The small farm shop sells a good selection of jams, cakes, biscuits and meringues but not on your usual farm shop scale. Perhaps it does not warrant the large brown tourist sign on the A1 but please give it a try.

Called on cycle ride from Berwick upon Tweed. Huge freshly made scone & large pot of tea. Great value. Make a point of calling if in vicinity.

The farm shop was untidy outside,the entrance wasn't obvious, we wandered around,inside, nobody to give us service, when we atracted someone to take our order,it was ok,the waitress was lovely. The menu book was quirky,with photos, & information.

We had ,in our party, someone with immense allegies and with the limited menu, she was unable to eat. Food was good and reasonably priced.

We were looking for someplace for lunch and happened upon it. Afternoon tea was on and was very good, in fact very filling. We took a doggie bag!

If you are in the Berwick area and are looking for a full lunch meal or just a snack or a high tea then call in at Oxford Farm where you will always receive a friendly welcome. Food is freshly prepared and the meringues are magnificent.

On arrival, quite difficult to decide which door we should enter from. However, when we got inside, the biscuit selection was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The shortbread in particular was some of the best we’ve ever tasted!!

4 of us have just had THE BEST Sunday lunch at Oxford Farm.

Some of the reviews are less than flattering but you need to ignore them and make up your own mind. We have been visiting every time we are in the area for 5 years since we discovered it and no trip to Northumberland would be complete without going there for lunch at least 2 or 3 times in a week. The food is good home cooked food with generous helpings. Just don't expect a typical farm shop.

I took my daughter for a treat and it was a nightmare.

Seriously. Bought shortbread. Ate it all in the car-park. Wonderful. Unfortunately we were on a timetable or we would have gone back and bought all the shortbread in the shop.

I visited with my partner today for Sunday lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. They were offering a 3 course meal for £9.95. The food, staff and service were excellent. The food was brought out super fast, the staff were attentive and friendly and the prices were brilliant.

My wife and I had the two course set lunch at £6.95 including tea or coffee What a meal,massive portions of lovely home cooked food, Absolutely spot on

Its a cafe not a farm shop. doesnt sell any meat just biscuits and preserves!! Cafe may be good but thry did t allow our little clean white dog in. walked in, walked back out.

Excellent food and the chive of preserves was great. Good selection of chutneys and jams in the shop.

We have visited here a number of times but usually earlier or later in the day. We have in the past enjoyed Sunday lunch sand we're pleasently surprised that they offer a two course with drink lunch at an excellent price of £6.95. A choice from three main courses and three sweets.

We’ve visited regularly with our two children and had everything from the Sunday lunch to the ‘afternoon tea’ which is substantial and lovely! The prices are very reasonable and although the car park is grotty and the interior, a bit tired, the food is delicious!

Coffee, cake, light lunches with a shop selling home made jams, meringues, biscuits and cakes. Pick your own fruit in season, Just off the A1 south of berwick. Free Car park at entrance. Food good, coffee hot and try the shortbread biscuits.

This is one to look past the exterior. If I hadn't been recommended the food, I would have given this a miss.

Claims to be a farm shop unhelpfully staff hardly any products no fruit or veg for sale only one punnet of strawberries false advertising don't deserve the brown tourist information sign on A1

Visited here with my parents, they do fabulous mince and dumplings and excellent lentil soup.

During my most recent holiday in Britain, I had Sunday lunch here. Yes, I agree that the car park is still a complete eyesore and the overall decor is not particularly appealing, but my meal was excellent. The portions were extremely generous and the price was very reasonable. The Oxford Tea is very easy to find; it's just south of Berwick-Upon-Tweed off of the A1. (Look for the brown sign.) If you're looking for good food in an unpretentious atmosphere, it's definitely worth a stop!

Visited as a midway stop on our route back from Scotland so decided to stop her e after seeing the brown tourist sign on the A1... false advertisement! Far from a farm shop, a few jars of jam and sorry looking meringues and bits of tat barely fit to grace a charity shop.

Calling in here after passing while staying at Hagerston Castle for a quick snack. There's only a small shop onsite with a tea room. All the produce is homemade on site. Had a lovely lunch with sandwiches and lots of cakes! Very reasonable and value for money.

We visited the cafe yesterday. It was a few years since I had been & although the food was good, really nice sandwiches, I found the whole place was needing a face lift. The toilet was out of order, so we had to use the disabled one. There were no paper towels & when I drew their attention to this, a grubby tea towel appeared. The gardens are untidy, coke cans & plastic boxes lying around. Only a tidy up all round would make it good, and a much more pleasant place. Sorry

Visited with my wife and I have never seen this place as busy. As a consequence some of the meals were sold out but that's what you get when food is freshly prepared in a farmhouse kitchen. Nevertheless what remained available was excellent both in quantity and quality. Fortunately there remained several very good choices of sweets and as usual I left feeling full as a gun and more than satisfied. How anyone can criticise the lady who serves on her own is beyond me. She does an excellent job always having time for a friendly word.

If you are travelling up the North east coast between England and Scotland and you are looking for a hearty meal or simply a coffee and scone in the Berwick area then Oxford Farm is the perfect port of call. In the winter they are open 6days (not Monday) between 10am and 4pm. The food is very good with lunch special particularly good. A good appetite is recommended as the main course quantities are substantial. The sweets are worth the wait alone. As we live 60 miles away we only visit occasionally but we have never had any complaints.

Poor service. Food ...really poor. Very disappointed as have been here before. The place needs a facelift its run down and looking tired.

Went with friends for a Sunday lunch. The food was excellent and all home cooked, excellent value for money , large portions and friendly service. The shop also had some lovely little knick knacks for xmas at very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back soon...

Called today for a lite bite and both ended up with the Xmas dinner! Lovely fresh, home made food which was delicious and very good value. Service as always was excellent. Highly recommended.

Great selection of lunches and afternoon teas. You get a lot for your money plus the meringues are amazing!!!

Visited with my wife and grand daughter for lunch. The food was excellent, hot, and plentiful. So much so that...

Stopped here on a bike ride for lunch. Had a huge portion of Mince and dumplings with a cream meringue...

For less than £10 you get a very nice, well cooked, well presented 3 course Sunday lunch. My husband &...

Hatten auf der Durchreise eigentlich nicht so viel Zeit. Die Auswahl ist nicht sehr groß - und es gibt eher...

At just under £10 for a three course Sunday lunch it seemed too good to be true. The food was adequate but reminded me of the type of food found in many works canteens.

Lovely double decker bus cafe, friendly staff & honey! Lots of interesting bee facts - and live bees in their hive!

On this visit to Northumberland, I came to the tea room twice (hey, if its good enough to come back once it good enough for twice!). First visit was for Sunday dinner, the door sported a 'Full up' notice but luckily we had booked beforehand. The 3 course dinner was well cooked, well presented, and well filling! Unfortunately the reasonableness of the meal was offset by the amount my wife spent in the farm shop (still reasonable prices but that doesn't matter when you leave with enough shortbread to justify a low-loader!).Second visit was for the soup and scone lunch midweek. Very nice as you also get nice big meringue with cream - so good.Do yourself a favour - go there.

Another great lunch at the Oxford Farm Shop .Will beback down to Berwick upon Tweed in September or October and will make sure to visit again .Highly recommend it to everyone.

Visited the Tea Room over a lunchtime with friends who were visiting from Germany. We each chose a different 'Tea' menu and ALL of us were delighted with what was served. The quantity was excellent as was the quality of the food. Service was also very good

Haven't been here for a couple of years and if anything the food was even better. Also the food shop for bits and pieces was a joy for my wife

Forget making your own, just take a trip out to the Oxford farm and buy the best meringues you've ever tasted!

Called in while on cycling weekend in Berwick upon Tweed. If you are in the area don't miss it.Large pot of tea,lemon drizzle cake,scone & jam £3.00!Wonderful!

Wanted somewhere for a quick cake and a cuppa and saw the signs for this place. Once we walked you could smell the home made chutneys been made in the back. Place is a bit tired, could do with a freshen up. All staff really polite and quickly looked after us. I had a cheese scone and my partner had a fruits scone both really tasty and plenty of tea with extra boiling water. Bargain price too. Would recommend ...

We only stopped for tea and scones and almost changed our minds as the exterior doesn't impress. The adjacent car park/aged caravan resting place also fails the ambience test. BUT, once inside we found friendly and efficient service, very generous pots of tea with extra boiling water supplied without need to ask and lovely big fruit scones. The jam was delicious and very fruity. The menu shows a range of what seems other great value combinations. Toilet facilities reduced to only the disabled one but it was clean and functional. We'd go back!

I only stopped for a cup of tea whilst at work, so can't​ comment on the food, tea was nice, hot, lovely clean cup and table. However the chintzy old fashioned style would have put me off stopping longer, it needs a kick into this century, the setting is lovely, and easy access just off the A1.

Good value three course lunch with various choices. Not great surroundings and much as others have said it could do with a bit of paint here and there. However the food was super and the sweets particularly big portions. The staff were friendly and efficient.

We have been going to Oxford Farm tea rooms for years and have introduced many friends too. It is a great end to an afternoon following a walk on nearby beaches and countryside. Oxford tea is especially recommended and the family and staff there are very friendly.

Called with our son and fiancée , had tea and scones , delicious , been a few times before and the food is consistent and tasty , would highly recommend .

a missed opportunity here. Could be lovely but unfortunately it's dated, a bit dirty and frankly, an eyesore. I didn't want to eat much - just as well, as little choice for vegetarians. Service was a little dour. There is so much local produce they could sell. And it needs a complete overhaul. The outside is appalling. Weeds and rubbish. I am amazed they are still trading to be honest.

During my latest visit to Berwick-Upon-Tweed, I had a very tasty meal at the Oxford Farm Shop and Tea Room; this was my second visit. Yes, I agree that the car park is an absolute eyesore; however, in my opinion, the food and value for money more than compensate for the lack of ambiance. The portions are extremely generous; after recently lunching on a very filling bowl of soup, scone, and large pot of tea, I could eat no more and asked for a slice of cake wrapped "to go". The service I received was friendly and efficient; the price was very reasonable. Just as a book shouldn't be judged by its cover, so shouldn't this tearoom be judged by the scenery!

I've given this two points because we didn't actually eat anything, so I guess there should be some room for doubt. The car park is a sump-smashing wilderness surrounded by caravans. As we approached the buildings we got a cryptic warning from some other retreating potential customers. Undeterred we advanced through the dog dirt towards the entrance (well, it's a farm we thought). Inside there was nobody to greet us, just a few other customers who looked like they had made a mistake. There were staff audible in another room; they appeared to be having a jolly time. We seated in the crumby conservatory, trying to ignore the gross stains on the carpet and the neglected debris beyond the windows. We opened a menu, but the dead earwig in its poly sleeve gave us a clue. Fortunately the staff were too engaged with themselves to notice us so we made a retreat. Careful driving from the car park left our car's underside intact.

We drove down here one afternoon in search of the card making supplies we thought they stocked - sadly they no longer stocked them but ant disappointment quickly disappeared as we tucked into a scone and lemon drizzle cake (both home made and delicious!) with our afternoon cup of tea (at a price that would normally not have bought a piece of cake). On discovering they did Sunday lunches we booked in for the following Sunday. The lunch was excellent, home cooked, large portions and hot food served piping hot. The service was friendly and efficient.

We were on holiday and visiting Berwick on Tweed. On the way back we saw the misleading signs for 'farm shop and tea room'. Nothing of the sort - grubby conservatory with no food for sale. We asked for a drink and as we had the dog, could we drink outside. We were told no, the cups cost £6.50 each and we might break them so no, we could not drink outside. Could we take the dog inside 'no the other people would complain' we were told. There were no other people to be seen - so the attitude was very unhelpful and very unfriendly. Very disappointed and the sign on the road very misleading. We will not be visiting again.
