The coffee here is bean to cup and the quality shows - it is excellent coffee. Also the cakes were delicious. A really good coffee stop on our walk.

Mrs M and I have been coming here for years. We set off on an early walk and go for braekafast. Mrs M says I have to comment that the bacon is cooked to perfection and they probably make the finest egg and bacon barm in the world. However, and E&B comes second to the kipper barm. If there was a heaven, these would be there. The cherry on the top is that they are really nice people who work very hard. I had tears in my eyes when I read the couple of negative reviews and had more tears when I saw that Andy had not only taken the trouble to respond but offered them free drinks if they returned. That said it's that the vast majority give them a well deserved 5 stars

A stop off for brunch here before a walk to Dunstanburgh Castle has been a tradition for some years now. We ordered a kipper bap, egg bap and the new Lentil burger for our teenage son who gave it a 10/10 Thank you, we'll be back

We grabbed hot kipper rolls for the adults and scones with jam for the kids from this cabin by the quarry car park.The scenes were perhaps slightly on the dry side but seemed home made There were plenty of tables free on a reasonably sunny August lunchtime

You have got to try the Auchtermuchty, with tomatoes & mushrooms, delicious. We also tried the Bangkok Bad Boy bean burger, hot kipper sandwich, bacon/sausage/egg and all were fantastic. Lovely owners, very accommodating.

After the coastal walk from Craster to Dunstanburgh castle we were feeling peckish and thirsty. Opposite the tourist information and at the bottom of Quarry car park we de idea to try Pipers Pitch. We opted for a cup of tea, a latte and 2 banana and toffee muffins { Andy didn’t have time to make any scones}. The muffins were the best we have tasted, moist and plenty of flavour.We were lucky to have got there when we did as a massive queue was forming as we ate.A very popular place with very reasonable prices and an extensive menu.Friendly people who have time for a chat as well as working.Definitely a place to visit.

Located near the Craster Quarry car park in the yard of the information centre, Pipers Pitch provides the perfect pit stop before or after your coastal walk to Dunstanburgh Castle. Serving hot and cold drinks as well as snacks, it’s great for grab and go food.

Hidden away on the edge of Craster, opposite the tourist information centre and next to the car park, is a fixed wooden stall serving exceptional snack lunches. While most visitors head for the pubs and cafés overlooking the sea, those of us who want something a bit different head for Pipers Pitch. You can get traditional fare, but my wife and I went for the Auchtermuchty, a large roll stuffed with back bacon and haggis, optionally seasoned with tomato chilli sauce. It was more than enough for me. A real treat. Everything is served fresh, so you have to wait a while. They give you a numbered bleeper to call you when the food is nearly ready. When you return, your order is assembled so that it is piping hot when you receive it.After finishing it, we returned for hot drinks. It was better than most you would get in a specialist coffee tea shop. You can even get it in a mug if you don’t need to take it away.For the size and the quality of what you get, it is great value. Most of all your fare is served by people who clearly enjoy what they are doing. We found it on Trip Advisor and two fellow travellers also recommended it. But despite having our expectations raised, it was still a treat.

So now I know why it's called Piper's Pitch! We are regulars for Andy's fantastic kipper buns and crab sandwiches but today we rocked up for my birthday with my family. I'd checked that it was OK to bring some prosecco. We were just tucking in when we heard the sound of bagpipes warming up and Andy appeared playing Happy Birthday. Above and beyond the call of duty! A fabulous treat in a favourite place. Brilliant

Called in here on our way home after a holiday near Seahouses. The Auchtermuchty sandwich topped with an egg at Pipers pitch in Craster was the best thing I’d eaten out in a long while. Absolutely cracking. Can’t believe I have to wait another year before I have another one.

Before heading out on holiday we looked up the highlights of the area. The Auchtermuchty sandwich at Pipers pitch in Craster was at the top of the list; right up there with their Kipper n Bun. The kippers from the famous Craster Kipper production in the village hit you with their aroma as they are grilled and make your mouth water. The taste is many times more lovely than the smell - you just can't beat kippers, bread and butter. Having said that, the Auchtermuchty Roll (haggis and bacon) with the Rothbury Rager relish is the most sublime bit of Haggis I've ever tasted and for me just pips the Kipper n Bun.I have to mention that the lovely gentleman who cooked our brilliant breakfast was welcoming and friendly and, although advertised to open at 10am was happy to begin cooking for us at 9.30am. Thank you for both the food and the conversation. It was definitely worth the trip from South Devon to visit with you.Ps the coffee was great too, he even had oat milk for my coffee preferences.

I'm a bit of a regular travelling down to Craster from Bamburgh a couple of times a month using my old codger bus pass and the highlight of the visit is getting a double lorn sausage / double haggis mega bun and Coffee at the Pipers Pitch.In addition to the great food there is always a warm welcome and friendly banter from Andy and Lorna.

Started out a very good food day in Craster and then along to the Ship Inn. Had parked in the field before the village and received a voucher we could use here so stopped off on the way into town. Spotted the queue and hoped we were on to a winner, which I knew we were once the kipper sandwiches were ready! Warm and just the right level of salty - I would've had a second if I could have managed it.

Decided to go for a late breakfast before having a look around Craster, paid our £3 parking fee which I noticed many were complaining about it being cash payments and that signal in the area makes it impossible to pay online, we always make sure we have a cash back up in the car just in case, but I think the owner of Piper’s Pitch was good for giving advice to the many! We ordered our butties, one kipper sandwich, one sausage, mushroom and egg, one bacon and one sausage and bacon, no payment was taken until the food and drinks were ready and our buzzer let us know to go collect it, approximately £20 for 4 breakfast butties and drinks.The square sausage was very good, a hint of pepper gave it a kick and made it more interesting than a traditional sausage, my Dad loved the kippers and would definitely go back given the opportunity, shame we. Would have a 3 hour drive to return! The guy in the hut was really welcoming and friendly, chatted away with genuine interest in where we were from. The area gets very busy by lunchtime and parking seemed to be limited, go early to avoid the queues and crowds. Coaster is a quaint little village with good paths to walk to Dunstanburgh Castle, great views too. We will definitely return.

Without the friendly team at the Piper’s Pitch many hopeful tourists to Craster would be very frustrated. The parking fee payment arrangements (presumably overseen by the local council) are poor /antiquated. The WiFi provided FOC by the team at Piper’s Pitch was the only way to access the car park payment website. WiFi provided by council in the same spot was so slow that it proved impossible to pay on the suggested app. Thank you to Piper’s Pitch and what lovely coffee too. Come on Northumbria CC, sort it out!

All of it absolutely delicious and brilliant value for money. The owner was worried that one of the kippers was a bit small so cooked us another on the house.Great banter and great generosity of spirit.We’ve now added the Pitch to our list of Northumbrian ‘ must be dones’ and we will be back next year for sure.

Knew we’d be visiting the area and had been told about the Craster Kipper Buns, right up my street, contacted the owner on Facebook to see if there was a cut off time for them being served, very quick response saying “No worries, I’ll keep one back for you, just say your name when you get here”,WOW! Absolutely delicious, and for £4 it was a bargain, well worth the slight detour to Craster and I’ll be back for another one for sure, the burgers ordered by the others were also delicious and excellent value,Lovely, friendly couple, thank you so much, we’ll see you again

Having visited Dunstanburgh castle the last morning of our holiday, the weather turned on us and rain soaked us through. All I could think about on the walk back to our car, as the rain punched me continually in the face, was - that Pipers Pitch best make a good brew. After changing my pants in the car (needs must), we got there before the rush. For a small pitch they had a very hearty menu. I ordered a cheeseburger and a coffee - real cheese, giant burger. Oh my word - best burger of my life. They are little heroes in a car park! <3

Absolutely fantastic find this one. Our family stopped here after a walk to local Dunstanburgh Castle and we were blown away by incredibly good, freshly made rolls with delicious hot filling. My two daughters each loved their square sausage baps, my wife’s chicken royale was reportedly to die for, and I had my new favourite thing ever, a haggis and bacon roll called an ‘auchtermuchty’. A bit of the recommended relish on top and it was just the best sandwich-type experience ever. The chap running the place was also very friendly and helpful, as was the lady who was there.

Fabulous little place. Friendly service and nice menu. The Craster Kippers in a bun are fat, juicy and absolutely delicious, highly recommended if you like kippers. The auchtermuchty was superb, hadn’t heard about it before but haggis and bacon are a must so we gave it a go. Delicious. The dog had kipper skins which were provided free of charge, he nearly bit my fingers off trying to get to them. Nice coffee and a lovely little sitting area. Perfect start to our walk over the coastal path to Dunstanburgh Castle. Don’t be put off by the fact it’s at the car park / visitor centre entrance. Don’t think there’ll be something better round the corner. It’s perfectly placed to set you up for a lovely walk.

Cannot find fault with this venue which is why on our annual visit to Embleton we ensure at least 3 lunchtime visits during our weeks stay and have done for the past 5 years. Andy and Lorna are warm and friendly hosts, who offer excellent food cooked to order. For me and my good lady, it has to be the Autermuchty sandwich, a massive meal of haggis and bacon in a breadcake/bap or whatever it's called depending on region. At just £4 is has to be an absolute bargain. Also on offer is a homemade scone, after my first time trying one today back at the cottage, Andy is pretty good at baking as well as cooking. Have to say it would have gone down even better with a mug of Lorna's excellent brew of tea though.

We were really hungry after walking to Dunstanburgh castle & decided to have a couple of sandwiches as the cooking food smelt so good. Ordered a kipper sandwich and a crab one. The former was more enjoyable than the latter which didn't really seem to have alot of crab in and was a bit pricey for what it was. The bacon sandwiches which others ordered smelt so good though!

We both had the Mama Mia burger which was delicious!! The portion was huge for the price and it was freshly made in front of us. The bread bun was so fluffy and the burger itself was super tasty. The owners are very friendly and chatty. Looking forward to coming back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our craster kipper in a bread roll . Great comfort food for a fresh spring day . It was great to chat to Andy who even gave us some of the scones he reserves for the elderly . Sorry to hear he was going to be closed down on Saturday because of the lockdown .What will all the walkers do for a welcome snack ?

The only reason it's not five dots is I'm a bit of a coffee snob, and the coffee wasn't bad just not five dots. Saying that, we had a really good experience. Great service with a bit of banter and chat. The auchtermuchty was really welcome, a full bun with decent bacon (not the thin watery rubbish you get from some places) and plenty of haggis. The recommended sauce was spot on. Kipper in a bun next time!

We visited Craster recently while staying in Beadnell for a walk to the castle and on our way back, my husband and I stopped here for a kipper in a bun each and we loved them! They were absolutely delicious and we were given the skins for our dogs too. We chatted to Andy the whole time while waiting and what a great guy. He’s so friendly and is now very much part of our day in Craster. Thank you for the lovely chats and delicious food. We’ll see you next time! Best wishes, Caroline, Cameron, baby Blake, Poppy dog & Steven dog.

We have visited the Pipers Pitch on many occasions even going out of our way to stop off when travelling through Northumberland. The food is first class and you are always greeted with by warm and friendly hosts. We would recommend stopping off here for a snack and a chat whenever possible. Auchtermuchty!!!!

We parked up in the main car park and walked an 8 mile loop, and although we had a quick sandwich half way around we couldn't resist taking advantage of Pipers Pitch which was surprisingly open for this time of year.Had a good natter with the owner whilst he was cooking our food, of course the delicious Auchtermuchty for me, and a bacon, eggs and mushroom for my wife. Flipping amazing food.

I keep meaning to review this as it is one my favourite places to come when in Northumberland. No trip would really be complete without a trip to Piper’s Pitch. My family all feel the same. A bacon and egg sandwich (or add the sausage patty as well in my girlfriend’s case) and a cup of coffee before a walk is ideal. The quality of the food is great, the bacon is exceptional and you can guarantee a friendly host who is passionate about his business.

I came here on New Year’s Day last year and just decided out of the blue to have my first kipper from this stall. It was- genuinely- the most beautiful thing I have ever eaten. I had another today and it was just as nice. My brother had an Auchtermuchty (bacon and haggis) bun as well and said it was equally nice. Don’t miss it if you holiday here.

Kipper in a bun is a great way to start the day. Very friendly service. Dogs get a Kipper skin each, which makes their day!

Best sausage sarnie ever ! Called in again on one of my regular dog walks up to Craster and had my usual square sausage sarnie, which was tremendous. So good in fact that I had another one ! Will be back soon !

Discovered Piper's Pitch by accident while looking for somewhere to buy breakfast and what a fantastic find !!!. The food is delicious and served with a smile. The owner is really friendly, a true Scots gent. We can recommend the Auchtermuchty (haggis and bacon in a bread bun) it is absolutely delicious and sets you up for the day. Will definitely visit again when we are next in the area.

Just called for a snack, coffee, tea and scones. Very acceptable and wholesome. It satisfied our needs at the time, after returning from a nice walk on a hot day and being adjacent to the main car park in Craster . September 2019.

All the reviews I have seen rate this stand highly, and I do as well. The kipper bap was a treat: perhaps an option for a brown bap might be considered? The couple running the stall were full of good humour, and the proper tea in a mug was the best I have had in a long time!

Dave visited here with our visitors after a walk to see Dunstanburgh castle and back. The sandwiches, one bacon and two sausage and bacon were lovely as were the staff and drinks. A welcome break.

Had a week in Northumberland and bought breakfast here twice. The first was a beautiful kipper in a bun which was so delicious and made a really nice change. Then on the last day I had a square sausage bap which was satisfying and perfectly seasoned. My boyfriend tried the world-famous Auchtermuchty which is a Scottish specialty of bacon and haggis in a bap. That was so generously filled and really tasty. Perfect for filling up before a big walk! The prices are extremely good value considering the quantity and quality of food too!

Ate here quite late in the afternoon when hunger suddenly struck while out with the dogs. Had the sausage sarnie and it was delicious. Two square sausage patties, very well cooked and lovely flavour. Great service even though it was close to closing time. Will be a regular stop on dog walks in Craster from now on !

Tea On The Train (Bellingham)location-iconStation Yard Woodburn RoadBritish

Tea on the Train is situated in a railway carriage at Bellingham station car park, by the Heritage Centre. It is a vey smart inter-city carriage (ex LNER) and is rather plush. They have a decent menu of hot and cold snacks as well as cakes etc. We simply had tea and scones which were perfect, as was the service which was lovely. This is an unusual and very smart tearoom - we will certainly use it again.

The service is cheerful and good and there's always space found for one more even when the place seems full. There are regulars who make people, who come for the first tme, very welcome. The food is incredibly good and reasonably priced. For anyone who cannot afford to pay for meals, there is a fabulus bowl of broth with a bun. Everyone is welcome and tea, coffee and biscuits are provided for whatever donation you feel like giving.
