Sam Turner's Cafe in Hambleton

Absolutely vile! Having been here several years ago, we popped in for lunch. We really should have left when we saw the very sad looking sweet treats displayed in a chill cabinet. Hubby fancied a toastie so stupidly,we stayed. Being a store which caters for the Agricultural Trade as well as the general public, you would expect local producers to be show-cased in their cafe. I only the mention of one local butcher and that was in relation to cold meats. You choose a table and then place your order. The table we had chosen was dirty but even though we gave the table number, no one came to wipe it. The two Ham and Cheese Toasties ordered were vile! The cheapest bread - asked for wholemeal and received light beige, cheap cheese very little of it and a very small quantity of ham - the ham was ok (ish). The said toasties were accompanied by sliced iceberg lettuce, chopped cherry tomatoes (one was black, crisps and some ‘slop’ - I think it was supposed to be coleslaw but it had a serious identity crisis! Now to the coffee, we asked for this to be served with the food, which to be fair, did happen. However, it was so strong it was undrinkable! We left, I scraped the ham and what little cheese there was off the toastie, leaving the beige slices calling themselves bread. My husband ate a little more. Please don’t give this place your hard earned cash - it just doesn’t deserve it!

Had a lovely lunch with friends, nice food, excellent customer service from Maggie, she was very helpful, friendly, made sure we had what we needed.

Had breakfast at sammies with the wife. Food as always was very good. The big downside was the background music. It was the most depressing piece of music and they only had one tune which was on a loop. I wasn’t depressed when I went it but was by the time I left.

This is a busy cafe upstairs in the huge Sam Turner’s cafe farm shop. There is a very good array of hot and cold food. We opted for a caramel shortbread and peppermint slice. Both delicious.

The staff are lovely here and they were very welcoming. The choice of food is amazing. I chose the ploughman’s lunch with ham and it wasn’t my best ever decision. There was some tasty cheese, ham, coleslaw and pickled onions with some pickle. There was also a thin and flaccid slice of bread. Most of the other food was green leaves and peppers. There just wasn’t much substance for the price. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her sausage beans and chips.

The whole place was a mess. Toilets disgusting, server walking around wiping tables with a cloth smelling strongly of bleach. No scrambled egg they said, no eggs yet trays of eggs sitting on work top in kitchen. Food burnt so could no eat it, showed it to server who shrugged her shoulders. As we left we complained to a man on the checkout and he said they were short staffed. No intention of going again.

My steak in a bun with mushrooms and onions was delicious. Accompanied with coleslaw a little salad and chips £9.99 a bargain 😋Washed down with a pot of tea. Thank you girls. Service with a smile 😊

Unfortunately. Bad experience. 1. Breakfast.was Cold.! 2. My scrabbled egg on. Toast. Had to send back. In the butter. It Had cheese in it. The staff hadn’t. Cleaned the knife. Could have been so so dangerous. The cafe as gone down hill !tables. Not cleaned either. Plus it wasn’t busy. My point is. Cooks require. To be more carful. Could have been a Dangerous. Situation. Tbh.

Very poor generally today. Ordered a large americano . It vas very small and not very nice . Cups are radically smaller since my last visit and the coffee was poorer too. Cranberry and brie toasty was edible but just the cheapest sliced bread a few crisps and a small bit of lettuce . Coleslaw was ok. Cutlery was streaky and greasy looking not rectified on complaint . A big drop in standards since my last visit . The cafe was less than half full at lunchtime .. its usually jammed full . Serice was fairly slow too.. table not cleaned . Most vacant tables not cleared . Caramel shortbread wss nice

Was disappointed on visit Saturday, granted it was busy but no excuse for unhygienic tables. Pots were being removed too slowly so people were sitting before tables wiped clean. Sign as you enter says find a tale before you order! Our table had food on chair and floor, table had not been sprayed. I’m sorry it put me off so didn’t matter that coffee was good. Won’t rush back.

Haven't visited since before lock down. Forgotten the great quality of the food. Not the cheapest breakfast in town,but certainly the best value. The staff give professional service. My next visit won't have to wait two and a half years!!

Always spotlessly clean. Friendly staff. Great menu. Reasonably priced. Love visiting this quirky shop when we drive over to Northallerton.

Coffee was ok, sarnie was ok, just not keen on the idea of looking out over a work place and seeibg all the stock on display , not very scenic or exciting, not for me, i wont be investing again, and I'm out 😂🇺🇦🇺🇦

We went there for a breakfast it wasn't busy only 6 other people in and we waited 45 mins for a breakfast and the cup they served our tea in was filthy not good at all

Our visit today was a 2nd or 3rd chance, the other visits for breakfast/ lunch being pretty dire too. I had scrambled egg and white toast… not difficult, not haute cuisine. The plate was cold and ultimately so were the eggs. The toast was merely threatened with heat on one side the other remained …well like bread. I ate it, (insert green vomiting emoji here) I was hungry so sue me! Then we get to tea, I find the tea in this establishment quite strong so asked for the tea bag to be left out of the tea pot(so I can decide the strength of my cuppa) it was met with pursed lips… don’t know why, not a tricky thing to master. My husbands food was also cold, not a nice consistency to eat smoked salmon and pancakes ! So in conclusion don’t ask for anything that might tax the kitchen staff such as the food hot when it’s supposed to be and don’t mess with the beverages.Jokey review, but in all honesty it’s very annoying, it used to be such a pleasant place with good food. Shame . End of further visits. End of review.

Food was OK my cup was dirty waited over 30 minutes for a breakfast when it wasn't busy not a good experience and the bread was only toasted on one side very poor there's better places to eat in northalleryon

Best full English breakfast since Gary Willmotts wedding! All locally sourced, fresh produce. Make sure you get the black pudding.

The bacon, mushroom and mozzarella choice was a mistake. Doughy, uncooked, 5 slices of mushrooms, one slice of fatty bacon and the cheese sunk into the paninni. Yuk. Left it on the plate opened up for them to see but I doubt they did.

I have enjoyed meals and snacks here many times but today I was very disappointed. I had to return the chips, served with the chicken and bacon pie, as they were uncooked in the middle. I was brought a bowl of fresh chips but the inedible ones were left on my plate and I had nowhere to put them. The pastry on the pie was stodgy and needed to be cooked for longer.I was also surprised to see a member of staff behind the counter preparing hot drinks wearing her mask on her chin, not covering either her mouth or nose.

The best and safest dining out experience we've had in all the long 6 months since we've been suffering under the difficult covid situation. Tables very well spaced and cleaned within an inch of their life after each use as were the chairs, in spite of waitresses saying they were short staffed. Instructions as to what we should do very clearly explained in a friendly and pleasant manner. We were prepared for a long wait because of them being short staffed but our food appeared surprisingly quickly and was delicious with the portions being amazingly generous. Keep up the good work, you're doing everything right and then some !!

This was a visit to purchase Barbour clothing and while there had breakfast in the upstairs cafe, although we go here fairly often we felt this time there was a lack of atmosphere (probably not helped by the Covid situation)the service was a lot slower than usual but we got served and everything was fine We duly purchased the clothing we came for and continued to look around downstairs where we inadvertently strayed past a huge No Public entry sign ( In a world of our own) where we were advised by a very polite and friendly member of staff this area was out of bounds. Due credit to that chap for good customer skills. We always buy much more than we come for as this place is like no other for people like us with excellent prices to boot, I usually say if you can’t get it at Sam’s you can’t get it.

Very disappointed at the lack of staff and care taken to adhere to Covid requirements. People were sitting at tables that were not cleared ( Clearly not heard of cross infection) the reason why they were not cleared was they was no staff to clear 1 poor girl who was trying her best and using the same cloth to clean tables over and over again! Chairs were not wiped down - it was not an enjoyable experience. I will not be visiting anytime again soon. Which is a shame as the staff are always lovely and the food is great - but they are very clearly short staffed and Sam Turners cutting corners and putting clients wellbeing at risk.

We went for brunch in July. Our first meal out. There was so much space between tables it felt so safe. The breakfast was lovely, with professional staff, cleaning etc fully in place. Well done for making us feel comfortable.

We decided to try a meal out for the first time since lockdown eased, & we weren’t disappointed. The service was great - thank you Rachel, you really went out of your way for us. Everything was very organised & made us feel safe; the choice was excellent & the food was delicious. Thank you.

Delighted to see so much choice during gentle easing of lockdown. Ordered salad and panini to takeaway. High quality fresh smoked salmon & prawns, soft dressed bistro salad leaves no horrible ropey frisse lettuce in sight, Cucumber Cherry toms Creamy Coleslaw Mini malted bun. Lots of quality bacon in panini. Washed down with 2 lovely latte's. Thank you Sam Turners

We visited for the first time last week for lunch - and found the experience very good - good menu with helpful staff, so we will be returning in the near future.We arrived at just after one o'clock which worked out well - as some of the earlier people were leaving so we were able to find a table - any earlier and we would have had to wait - so worth planning your visit.

Went there was recommended to me went for breakfast wow absolutely delicious toast was amazing 2 slices uncut bread like door stops great prices aswell staff were really friendly tables cleaned straight away menu looks great well done

Marvellous lunch nice surroundings and plenty of choices. Service was fast. The staff were both happy and polite. And the portion size was good.

Lovely breakfast and very filling. Comes with tea or coffee and 2 slices of toast. Bacon and sausage are lovely and I believe locally sourced. All this for £7.70. Well worth it 👍

I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with Sam turners cafe. One visit it can be great, the next a bit iffy. We called in on a Saturday morning for some breakfast. Hubby had his usual full English and I went for scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast. With drinks it was £14.00 which isn't bad. The ladies serving us were great - they were older (sorry!!!) but looked happy to be at work and interacted well with us. It makes such a difference. The food was good and we both came away very satisfied.

Lovely breakfast, fresh and a nice place, staff friendly and helpful. Clean place , enjoyed our food and the pot of tea also had a chance to shop around after,

What a nice change to visit a local cafe wich serves excellent quality food and good service together with reasonable prices keep up the good work we will be back !!!

Called in for a bacon buttie and cuppa for breakfast.Arrived b4 9am so cafe wasn't busy.Service was very slow & we were overcharged. When I queried the overcharge the staff weren't as apologetic & friendly as I would've hoped & it certainly isn't 'service with a smile'Tea & Coffee were good & hot but the bacon sandwich was extremely disappointing. Bacon was only just cooked, rubbery chewy consistency & the bread it was served in was totally inappropriate (doorstep thickness but it didn't hold together as a sandwich). A breadcake/bap would've been much more suitable.Overall with the poor service & quality, we wont be in a rush to return.

Great place for a coffee, cake or for a light bite. The day we visited we had to wait quite a while to get a seat as they were so busy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cakes we had were lovely. Check them out.

Popped into this busy cafe for breakfast. Huge selection on the menu including sweet pancakes with fruit or savoury ones with egg & bacon. Both were delicious! Quick service, huge portions and reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

Ordered tea, prawn sandwich and chips. The tea was nicely served and fine. Enough for two cups each. The prawn sandwiches were inedible. Very dry bread cut thickly. Extremely unattractive. We ate the prawns. Chips were brilliant. We complained and were offered a cake. Just can’t see how the bread could be fresh.

Delish! Nice cafe, can get busy but no long waiting times. Good menu choice, cooked breakfast 😋. Clean with pleasant staff.

Visited this cafe whilst visiting family in the area . What a smashing experience . Staff extremely friendly and made us all feel welcome.

Visited this venue and loved the old world atmosphere and service apart from the outside garden plants sector. Here we saw lots of neglected dying plants starved of water on a boiling hot day whilst a couple of young members of staff sat in a hut close by chatting together about their private lives. Such a shame that they hadn't the foresight to at least give the plants a drink instead of chatting with each other. It made me feel they were totally unsuitable for the job. So many beautiful plants absolutely flagging under a hot sun whilst they past their time flirting.

Have had a few mediocre meals here recently I was very disappointed today. I ordered a jacket potato with prawns and salad. My issue was with the salad leaves. To say these had seen better days was an understatement. I pulled out the most brown edged and positively slimy and discoloured ones and asked the waitress to return my plate to the kitchen expressing my disappointment. On her return she apologised and assured me the salad leaves were fresh everyday, and she had been told it was due to sweating in the plastic bag. What a load of rubbish! My salad leaves don’t sweat and turn brown within hours of purchase from a supermarket. Why isn’t someone looking at what they are serving??? I won’t be returning here in a hurry.

Visited about 12.30 a wet Saturday lunchtime. Knew by car park it was going to be busy. Ordered Steak Pie and a Gammon with drinks and cakes. Food was served quickly, tasted very good and staff were friendly (person serving helped the older lady behind me carry her tray to her table) Pastry on pie was soft and melted in your mouth and the meat was cooked so it just fell apart. Chips were plentiful and tasted good. Would have no hesitation in returning or recommending to others.

Usually very attentive service, but today the staff were much more interested in their own lunches then remembering to make my wife's pancakes.

We use to eat here quite often ., but have not been for a while because of change in the food , So we gave it another try today , The meal lasagna and chips was served very quickly , but the chips were cold and mushy , We mentioned this to the staff and were given another bowl of chips , unfortunately these were also mushy ( warmed up I think ) So although some meals are nice I would give the chips a miss.

Always excellent, usually go for Breakfast. Its a proper good plate full of good quality food, with two hand cut slices of toast and a pot of tea. Lunch menu is also excellent, only downside is it can busy so there may be a queue... but you are in 'Samies' the best shop ion town so go for a browse until it calms down a bit :)

i have visited here before and the cooked breakfast have been good but i took my wife for a birthday breakfast today and it was terrible , raw egg , toast that was only just toasted , my wife had black pudding all over her sausage ( she hated black pudding ) and obv didn’t order it ! and the staff where really loud

We come here occasionally for breakfast. It's a proper full English breakfast with tasty ingredients, none of the plastic-tasting meats here. The sausages are particularly nice. Big mug of coffee and you're set up for the day - or morning in my case :). The restaurant is quite big and the staff pleasant but it can get very busy - we tend to go early.

Visited here this morning, ordered 2 full English breakfasts... £7.60 each..expected the works . Oh my god ! Was going to complain.... But my other half just said 'we won't come back' please don't , I honestly thought they'd made a mistake and they'd forgotten, tomatoes , mushrooms, another sausage, fried bread possibly and hash browns ( for the price) So what you actually get is one sausage, 2 rashers of bacon, a piece of black pudding ( I think !as my other half ordered the breakfast and was asked if he wanted it... Might have cost extra for all we know) and a fried egg... And some beans.. Which I didn't have as I don't personally like them wasn't offered an alternative, nor was the price reduced.....Plus a couple of slices of very underdone toast. What a total rip off, I'm sorry . Doesn't even include your drink. The queue although it was short, was taking a ridiculous amount of time to go through,it's totally disorganised, came here a week or so ago with a friend, the same member of staff was sat once again having her break.... Although she's entitled of course.. think she may be management yet when she did go back to work, dusted the table with something... Left half the muck on the table. Then dissappeared, possibly to kitchen... Yet still no knives, tables dirty, floors filthy, ages waiting in queue.... List goes on... Very disappointed . Needs a def shake up... Reorganising ordering system, staff, etc And def sort the full English out. 1 egg, 1 sausage, 2 rashers of bacon, maybe the1 piece of black pudding, 1 scoop of baked beans, 2 bits of toast... £7.60 !!!!!!! Absolutely disgusting price. Wouldn't bother .

Thought we wd treat ourselves to a bacon butty.

Nice family place good food well prepared and presented Always a pleasure to go Lift to Cafe makes a big difference

Having had breakfast here several times, l have to say they continue to make the same mistakes.

Large Cafe inside Agricultural Merchants. Very busy even at 11.45 on a Thursday. Had warm salad of bacon, mushrooms and “Doreen’s” black pudding, delicious, and Bacon, Brie and Cranberry panini. Fairly fast service, £12. Does just what you could expect. Will go again when in the area

Not visited this cafe for a while so we were very disappointed on a recent visit by how much it’s changed. At 2 pm it was full of people with babies and toddlers we thought we had stumbled into a nursery. The staff are far from friendly just serving seemed to be an effort no smile or welcome. When the food arrived it looked like it had been thrown together my toasted sandwich had ousted cheese stuck on the bottom, the chips we shared were awful can’t determine what the taste was the coffee was disgusting a really tasteless cappuccino. One of us was quite poorly after eating the very greasy meal the other felt dreadful but hadn’t thankfully eaten much. We won’t be going back here there is so much choice for food in Northallerton this would definitely be a last resort...in fact I would rather do without.

Fantastic for a full english breakfast any day of the week. Comprehensive menu if you want something else.

Another lovely meal at this super cafe. Sandwiches are delicious with creamy coleslaw. Tried to stay off the Yorkshire rarebit this time as we always have it, it’s so delicious!

We had spent around £60 in the shop and arrived in the tearoom at 3.06pm and asked if we could have a cheese toastie but were quickly told hot food finishes at 3pm! We ordered a cake and had to send it back as it had been hacked rather than cut! It lacks atmosphere and its not cheap!

I had a coffee and a cake in here while my car was being checked over at the nearby (walking distance) Toyota dealer. The coffee was good as was the cake.

Popped in for a breakfast with my children. Bacon butties and drinks. Simple food, well prepared, comfy setting. Set -up up for the day and coneniently located within the store.

What a pleasant surprise having being able to eat lunch after buying my new Hunter wellingtons. exceptional farm shop with very pleasant staff. A must try

we often visit Sammie's for lunch or a snack after my husband has finished browsing in the shop. They cater for most tastes and it's always clean and food well presented.

Sam Turners cafe/Restaurant has always provided freshly prepared food at very sensible prices and been VERY GOOD value for money. Unfortunately the prices have been reviewed, inevitably UPWARDS, which for the most part means it is still fairly reasonable, with the BIG EXCEPTION of the pots of jam or marmalade, which have increased from 20p per portion to 35p per portion. There's inflation and down right "Rip off", Sammie's cafe has adopted the later option.

Unfriendly staff, mediocre to almost inedible food ( depending on what you order). Overpriced for what you receive. The ‘old’ cafe food was far superior. Female toilets far from hygienic. All in all terrible.

Food is delicious, but considering it’s a farm shop and those places usually greet you with a smile, I was shocked at how unwelcoming/rude the staff were. Apparently, asking for food at a cafe is an inconvenience! I think we will continue to visit Strikes down the road, at least the staff don’t look at you like you’re something the farmer shot and left to rot on the counter.

If you want to visit a cafe where you can order your food than sit and just watch staff chat and bring their own meals out and sit down while you drink your coffee and wait and wait and wait for your Grandsons lunch to appear. All they had to do was make a cheese sandwich but that must have been getting in the way of them making their meals.

It’s not posh; it’s in a farm merchants store and the windows look out over the shopping area. However it’s clean and tidy, serves good food, and there is a car park. It’s a great place to stop en route or to call in if you are shopping. I usually try to schedule a stop there if I’m in the area.

I used to work in Northallerton so I was a bit of a regular! I hadn't been for around 5yrs but it didn't be disappoint, quick service, tasty lunch (the bread is still so fresh and chunky) and pleasant surroundings. And much bigger than when I was last there!

Called for lunch as a group of 4 adults around 1:30

Fantastic place really friendly staff and polite, food is good and there is plenty to choose from, will be there as soon as possible.

When we arrived there was no queue three staff behind the counter one cleaning a coffee machine the other two talking we patiently waited and they still continued discussing their night out. We had to move right down next to them and their attitude was appalling asking us what we wanted then continuing to discuss their night out they didn’t get the cake order correct either. My daughter said “I think we are a nuisance to them” we felt very uncomfortable throughout our visit and we won’t be returning for a long time.

Although the title says farm supplies Sam Turner and sons sell a great deal more.

Visited had sausage chips and beans sorry to say there isn't much good I can say very little heat blackened sausages and the chips were so hard I couldn't eat them disgusting!

Arrived for coffee and cake and what a choice all looked very tasty. We went for 🍒 scones very nice. Warm so did not have the butter, very light,tasty and fresh. Airy, clean cafe with pleasant staff. Different areas for sitting. Will use again.

We came here after someone said it was worth a visit. They weren't wrong. The menu had all sorts of things on and we had the sausage and bacon rolls which were delicious. Coffees were very tasty if not a little on the cool side, hence the four stars but all in all a lovely place to visit. Situated above the store that offers all sorts of delights, the cafe is clean, very reasonable prices and friendly staff. The cakes looked amazing as well.

always good value and very friendly towards children, the kind server put another cherry on top of the cake as it was being shared by my grand children

Lovely little tea room upstairs above main store serving a range of homemade sandwiches paninis and hot meals various hot drinks at a reasonable price great atmosphere helpful and friendly staff well worth a visit if your in the area

Good food with wide menu. Can get very busy at times. But usually worth the wait. The store and garden centre good and different from the run of he mill.

We've eaten here so many times and it's very noticeable how it varies from very good to not good enough. It's a shame it can't be consistent. We've had the same meals served piping hot and plentiful, than a different time a smaller and colder version. The only thing that's always great is the millionaire shortbread! We won't be back for a long while sadly.

Excellent food each time we have been Plenty of space ideal for all ages and excellent value for money

Always had a good meal previously, the service was quick and efficient. Unfortunately the sandwich in which I had ordered was made with stale bread. That affected the quality of the sandwich.

My wife and I used to frequent this cafe quite a lot in 2016, then by 2017 sadly the Standards had dropped badly.

Called in for coffee & scone with my Dad at 2pm.

Sunday morning breakfast: perfect start to the day. Everything cooked perfectly, marvellous fresh bread toasted and sliced how it should be, thickly. Coffee in a good big mug and a good flavour. Lovely friendly staff, who look happy in their job. No better way to start the day. Will we we go back, oh yes and regularly.

So to round off our week off work it was brunch here.

Sam Turners is not technically a restaurant. The site on the Darlington road is mixture of Farming, gardening and building supplies. Recently an addition within the building included a very large cafe/restaurant. First impressions, well laid out facilities, very helpful and friendly staff and very clean.You can have a snack, coffee, main meals, soup, salad and other choices delivered to your table. We found the food very good and reasonable prices. It was a pretty good experience.Access easy, an overflow car park, disabled car parking, level floors, lift to cafe/restaurant. We will probably go there again when next in Northallerton.

Every time I am in Northallerton with work I come here for lunch. It has daily specials which are very nice. Honey mustard chicken with chips and salad has to be my all time favourite if on the specials board. The chips and coleslaw are especially nice. Coffees could be better as I do like a good latte. The cakes are top notch - can recommend the cheesecake and lemon meringue pie. Would agree with some of the other reviews that the staff aren't the friendliest at times but I come for the food and not to sit with them.

Visited today ordered 2 corned beef pie chips and beans,the pastry was under cooked ,pie tasteless and just warm,chips were scrappy and I think had been reheated,the cafe itself was disgusting crumbs every were tables just left and not cleared,service at counter poor they just seemed as if they did not know what they were doing,certainly not the standard it used to have.

Decided to call in at the Cafe with my wife and 2 toddlers. We ordered 2 sandwiches. Our food was brought to us by a young dark haired waitress. 2 plates where slammed down on the table with a very curt "enjoy ". Bad enough but the sandwiches consisted of 2 stale chewy dry bread buns . One with two rashes of bacon and the other with 2 sliced sausages. Poor service and poor food. Definitely gone down hill.

Freshly fried fish & chips with super chunky white bread, tartare sauce & a coffee for £8Easy access via a lift if the stairs are too much.

The food, choice and service are second to none. Only top grade ingredients are used and portions are "man-sized". This is our first choice for lunch or afternoon snack and the staff work hard to provide an excellent service

We have been eating at Sam Turners in Northallerton for a long time and always enjoyed the food, but on our latest visit today we had Corned Beef Pie ,Chips and Beans, The meal was served very fast and was not really hot , The chips were very scrappy and obviously warmed up. I'm not sure if they have changed the Cook but It has put us off going there again, which is a shame , I would have sooner waited a little longer and had a hot meal and proper chips.

We had heard that Sam turners had a good reputation for food so having taken our granddaughter swimming decided to drive out of our way and give it a go for our lunch. Having ordered chicken and bacon pie for two and sausage for our granddaughter out it came. One sausage on the plate wasn't really enough by any bodies standards but at least it was better than the pile of chips - if you can call them chips. On our plate we're crispy little bits of potato that had obviously been left overs from the day before and warmed up. Being a couple that never really complain we ate what we could, the pie was I have to say quite tasty, along with the tablespoon of peas on the side. As we left a waitress was standing there so I did mention our problem to which she replied ok I'll tell the cook and walked off in the opposite direction not even looking at us never mind really hearing what we had to say. I'm afraid that was our first and last visit and have to agree to previous reviews Sam Turner staff need a lesson in customer service and a lowering of the prices.

Every time we come here, with family or as a couple the food has been amazing. Proper home made food and the prices aren't too high. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Me and my wife stopped here for breakfast. Good tasty food and decent portion sizes. The prices were around what you would pay anywhere else. My only criticism is that the staff came across as a bit numb and not very welcoming. Still good though.

I often go to Sammies for lunch and have never had a bad meal. There is lots to choose from for both adults and children and the cakes are to die for. The food is freshly cooked but you don't have to wait too long and it is also locally sourced. Would definitely recommend a visit. There are lots of eating places in Northallerton but they don't all offer such good value on a like for like meal.
