Tea and Tipple in Northumberland

Visited there for afternoon tea as part of a visit to the town. Lovely friendly staff who offered us a fine array of homemade cakes. We can highly recommend this comfortable place.

Excellent service by a lovely young girl, who was very pleasant and helpful. All the other staff were friendly too. We had the chestnut and mushroom soup with lovely brown bread which was delicious. We tried 2 of the cakes with drinks which we really enjoyed. All was home made. The cafe was clean and well organised. Would definitely go back

We always call at Tea and Tipple when we visit Corbridge, it's always busy. I have the coronation chicken wrap, which is always delicious. They offer free top ups of coffee, which is so generous as most cafes would charge for this. Everything is always excellent, and served by friendly warm staff. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant. Incredibly friendly staff. A lovely friendly happy young lady served us yesterday and she was amazing. So nice to see. The ham broth is always outstandingly good. All the food is top notch. Highly recommended.

THE OWNER IS SO RUDE-LITTLE WONDER HIS OWN STAFF DO NOT RATE HIM. He is so rude-simple as that. The food is overpriced and the waiting times are dreadful. AVOID

The food and drinks were lovely but staff kept looking at our table to see if we were gone which felt like every 30 seconds and continually came over to take away food and drinks while still eating. We had not been in long and tables around us had same people sitting on them with their drinks that were still there when we left. Were made to feel very unwelcome and would not return

I first visited this delightful Cafe With my daughter who highly recommended it I was not disappointed.So when we visited later in the year I persuaded my husband to try it.Very busy but a table for 2 was ready in a very short time,& order taken for drinks .The specials were advised along with a good choice menu.Ham Hock broth was our choice served with lovely bread,Superb ,a meal in a dish,so tasty & filling.The staff were helpful, & cheerful!!What a bonus in these times of gloom. The lady in charge works with her staff & obviously promotes good customer service . Whenever we are visiting this will definitely be on my "must visit" Corbridge is a very picturesque olde world town ,lots of small shops & a walkable distance.plus next to the river.

Called in here for a cup of coffee late on in the afternoon. The lovely staff said that cakes and scones were available if we wanted , so I decided to try a cheese scone... Wow absolutely delicious. Now I love a cheese scone, everywhere I go I have one, cafe's, garden centres, posh coffee shops, farmers markets the lot and I have to say this was THE NICEST I have ever had. Not too dry, not to stodgy, just light and perfectly cheesy without being overpoweringly so. I had mine warmed up with an extra pat of butter and advise you have the same, you won't be disappointed :o) Just looking for any excuse to head to Corbridge now, so I can get a regular fix.

THE MOST TASTELESS SCONE EVER . Out on the bike to day and called in for brunch . Had a cheese and pickle toastie which was nice and a black coffee this came to over £10 . EXPENSIVE . Then I had a fruit scone with butter , it was the hardest driest most tasteless thing I have ever eaten . It tasted like it had been quarried not baked . My friend had a carrot cake , which wasnt home made and tasted full of preservatives . Yuk .Yuk. Yuk . Find somewhere else to eat . Anywhere else .

An excellent find in the market place in Corbridge that offered gluten free options for my coeliac husband. We both had a piece of cake with a hot drink for just over £10, so good value.

As a family with the Corbridge name we had to call into the village on our way home from Seahouses and what a wonderful village it is. Thanks to a local recommendation we had a family lunch at the Tea & Tipple and it proved an inspired choice. The food was great (my prawn sandwiches were lovely) and the service was very efficient and friendly and the whole experience was first class. We highly recommend this cafe.

Staying in the area has lunch twice and I can throughly recommend, friendly staff and delicious food. I can vouch for the panini and the soup of the day was Moroccan vegetable it was extremely good. Will visit again when in the area.

The coffee is fine and price includes a refill. Blue cheese and caramelised onion scones are really good but they have reduced in size sadly. However, the toilets are in a poor state. Damp, grubby and with lifting Lino . They need a thorough over haul now.

This is a pleasant little tea room facing Corbridge Church and is worth a visit if you fancy a coffee and cake. A friendly waitress greeted me when I came in and asked for a window seat and showed me a selection of cakes. I chose the date slice, which was full of dates and tasted excellent, and at £2.50 won't break the bank. Also my capuccino was nice and warmed me up on a cold, wet day.

Always a topnotch cafe to visit,scone with jam a americano in a mug was my choice.all good coffee was just how I ordered. Scone a target dry but still really good.left the cafe with a big cheesy smile.

Coffee and scones on a regular basis.Coffee,with refill,excellent and the cheese scone is very tasty.What stands out isthe standard of service.Not only pleasant and cheerful but thoroughly professional and they make you feel at home

We popped in for a cuppa and scone and wished we had not bothered with breakfast because the soups looked so good and the paninis yum yum. However the blue cheese scone was really tasty and light. We will be heading back that way probably in the next couple of weeks and hope they have a table! It also has a licence - hence the tipple.

What a great coffee and sandwich possible best coffee i have had for years. Keep yp the good work toasted ham and cheese sandwich was so filling i didnt have room for one of the many cakes available

Nice environment. Great service. Lovely food. Coffee rather burnt/bitter flavour. Toilets clean but very poorly lit and smell of dampness and needs attention.

Came here for coffee /tea and scones while staying in the area. Friendly staff, nice place and atmosphere. Tasty scones and choice of varieties. Good service. Would recommend.

Had a fab experience at Tea and Tipple this morning. Warm welcome on arrival, explanation of the cakes on offer and a recommendation for the maple and pecan cake. Delicious! Filter coffee with free top off most appreciated. Thank you

It's a while since I last visited here but if anything, it's even better than before. The coffee is great and a local brand to boot! The paninis and sandwiches for lunch were delicious and just a bit different. n All in all, we had...

We have just visited for the first time and were delighted. Plenty of seating enough space apart to feel safe, staff all wore face coverings and everything was well cleaned. We enjoyed hot drinks at much better value than nearby cafés, and were pleased to...

Fabulous cafe, a very welcome break from a long bike ride. Good coffee and a good range of snacks and delicious cakes and scones. Pleasant friendly staff.

Quality sums up this lovely tearoom: this is not a place to get FULL meals, but cakes, sandwiches and snacks. Nothing here was too much trouble for the hosts, generous with the size of tea-pot and cake slices. No request was refused re extra water,...

Fab little cafe, sandwiches were really nice, and cakes fab too! Staff very accommodating, polite and helpful. Small seating area outside. Definitely recommend.

Full fillings, great prawns. A good choice of lunch time choices. Good coffee and quality ingredients used and all prepared fresh.

Called in after a trip to Hexham and back through Corbridge. Friendly staff, clean premises and a great ham, cheese and chutney toasted sandwich. They are doing 'Track and Trace' via text, (which is probably more effective than the the government's NHS App) but if...

We are staying in a cottage in Corbridge and have tried several of the cafes here. This is our favourite, best cappuccino and excellent panini. Very reasonably priced and pleasant,friendly service. We’ll be back!

I asked about track and trace to be told, with a shrug of shoulders, “oh....we’re not doing that”. Let’s hope myself and your “valued customers” don’t suffer as a result of the complacency and disregard for what our country and it’s families are going through.

We had the apricot, raspberry and almond cake which was delicious - soft and very sweet - the perfect accompaniment to their fantastic coffee.

The quality of the food is fantastic. Just called in to get out of rain, first time in the area. Had the most delicious sandwiches and cakes. Just wish we had time to go back again and try something else off the menu. Very well priced.

Good cakes and tea, Did not try coffee this time but hot chocolate was at correct temperature and tasty. Carrot cakes and ice creams were tried and were excellent. Was quite spacious inside so was opportunity for one way system. This is a stand out for this tea room in the current climate for social distancing, making neighbouring tea shops feel cramped by comparison . Only slight drawback was a shortage of outdoor tables. Overall very good food drink and service.

We'd walked a good 6 miles or so and needed a coffee , we had walked around the whole of Corbridge sniffing out the coffee and Tea and Tipple were the only cafe where the coffee smelt great from outside, ( it works, try it, only drink coffee that smells good from outside, you won't be dissapponted) Well organised, safe environment, no food left as they had had a very busy afternoon, but the coffee was FANTASTIC, one of the nicest cups in a takeaway coffee for a while. Lovely friendly service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and to add, all the paper cups were compostible too , excellent , good luck in this difficult time, you deserve to do well, finger crossed next time we are early enough for treats,

All our family have come here for years. Grandparents, parents & grandchildren all love it. The scones are delicious and the filter coffee is lovely and comes with free refills. My mum lives locally and the staff were so kind to her as a regular customer and member of the community when my dad passed away. Can't say enough good things about this place!

Open salmon and prawn sandwich, bacon brie and cranberry panini both lovely. Good hot chocolate and earl grey tea. Service was very efficient. Packed out on a Thursday lunchtime in February tells its own story.

W always come here when we visit Corbridge. Good choice of tea and coffee together with excellent cakes. Good choice of seats, never feels too crowded.

Stopped here for a tea and cake, lovely atmosphere and great cake too, another visit next year beckons!! Thank you

Lots of tea, a glass of wine, three soups and a panini! It all went down very well and we would definitely revisit if ever in the area.

Visiting Corbridge for the day. 3 of us popped in for coffee and late lunch. Delicious salads and panini and very good coffee. Friendly efficient service. What’s not to like?

I visit tea and tipple for lunch nearly every time I visit Corbridge. My husband and I popped in for coffee on Sunday morning and I really fancied a toasted tea cake. Although it wasn’t on the menu the girls popped over to the bakery and got a huge tea cake for me and it was lovely smothered in butter and lovely home made jam. Thank you to all the staff for going above and beyond.

Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Been for lunch a couple of times. The menu is purposely quite simple but very good food nicely presented.

Found ourselves child free for a rare change so had a leisurely wander around Corbridge when we chanced upon this place.It had a lovely laid back atmosphere, the staff were very helpful and friendly.The coffee was ok but the food was excellent, the prawn and mango wrap plus the sirracha chicken panini were outstanding Highly recommend

Had lunch here yesterday! The people were lovely and may well be the most unbelievable prawn Marie rose sandwich I’ve ever had. They clearly know their food. One piece of advice though...sell crisps; they’re awesome!!! Also seasoning on the tables is good for us devil may care folk who love salt. The Spanish lady serving was really nice. I’ll be back...with Quavers in my bag!

Very pleasant coffee shop. Friendly, helpful staff. Wide range of hot drinks, sandwiches, snacks, cakes and scones available. All looked delicious. By the way ... the slices of cake are HUGE, and yes, they are as delicious as they look.

We were in Corbridge shopping and decided to have a snack here. The staff were very friendly when we arrived. We had tea and scones. The tea was lovely. The scones were nice and crispy on the outside and lovely and soft on the inside.

One of my daughters favourite place to go when visiting Corbridge. Lovely staff, freshly prepared soup and sandwiches, nice ambiance and good value.

Called in for a snack Welcomed very friendly the tables are set out the chairs are out of a church. We didn't have to wait to get served We both had toasty sandwiches delicious and the coffee and green tea piping hot. Will definitely be back again

Very convenient, friendly, light and airy with VERY GOOD COFFEE.

I go to Tea & Tipple regularly and it never fails. The staff are lovely, tea, cakes and scones delicious. A great place and, in my opinion, better than other cafes in the village.

Called in Sunday afternoon for a cuppa. Tea, coffee and pate on toast. Good service lovely food, quite a platefull and so tasty and nice ambiance. Will definitely call in again.

Visited Today - tea and tipple was very busy so we thought this looked like a good spot to stop. Ordered Soup of the day and Harissa Chicken panini. After a 45 minute wait a bland cold panini arrived with hard cheese (not melted). Flustered staff member mumbled “sorry for wait mad”. Poor food and service look elsewhere for food unless you are desperate.

My daughter took us to Tea & Tipple for lunch. Very friendly little place & the lunch menu was interesting & varied. The three of us all chose something different & the salad that came with it was delicious. Not too expensive either & plenty of veggie options. If we are in the area again, would always want to go there. The menu is imaginative & tempting & a bit different to the norm. Loved it!

Arriving in Corbridge at around 4 o'clock, a number of tea rooms and cafés were already closed, but Tea and Tipple was open and definitely worth visiting! We chose to relax on the sofas for our cups of tea and cake and watch the world go by. The staff were congenial and patient as customers tried to choose which cake to have - they all looked so good!

Have been here before and always enjoyed the food. Lunch time menu starts at noon.

Went for a morning coffee and cake/cheese scone. We found it to be very uninviting and had a total lack of choice compared to the other cafes in Corbridge. Tea & Tipple need to improve the menu (and actually have a menu)as the other cafes in the village are far better and as we are local we are lucky to have this choice! Also the lady serving didn’t seem to be very happy with her job (the younger girls in there are much friendlier). Until it improves we will be going elsewhere - Duck House, Corbridge Larder and Spokes Kitchen so much better!

Called in for a coffee and catch up. Very nice environment and range of drinks etc. Nicely presented food/cakes etc.

A favourite cafe to visit when in Corbridge.

Sunday afternoon with family looking for afternoon tea at 2.30pm. Told menu closed. Were shutting at 3.00pm. Beware early closers on sunny spring afternoons.

Was struggling to find a cafe that served non-dairy milk but hit the jackpot here. Takeout cheaper than sitting in (not always the case) but unfortunately it wasn't that great tasting and the staff seemed abrupt and aloof.

We took a trip out to Corbridge this afternoon, and wandered into Tea and Tipple. What a lovely place! We had latte with skimmed milk, and a very substantial Ploughmans, with brown bread, salad leaves, pickle, amazing Redesdale cheese, thick slices of carved ham and pate. Warm welcome, good service and friendly staff

Friendly staff, not great tasting coffee, only a few comfortable chairs. Great looking cakes. Slightly over-priced but then I expect the rent isn’t cheap.

Good cup of tea served in a decent sized tea pot. Very fresh and tasty cheese scone and lovely jam with the fruit scone. Nice decor and friendly service.

We have popped into Tea and Tipple a number of times recently, and each time we have had a lovely experience. The food is fresh and very tasty. The carrot and sweet potato soup was delicious and their prawns are great! Fabulous coffee, a pleasing interior and very helpful, friendly make this cafe a regular stop off when we visit Corbridge.

I was staying nearby with my wife and visited Corbridge for the afternoon. After lots of walking and browsing shops we chose Tea & Tipple for a well deserved pit stop. The coffees and slices of cake were very good. It was busy, the staff were friendly and the place was spotless.

Came here Mother’s Day after everywhere else was fully booked, just wanted a light bite, coffee and a cafe. Absolutely beautiful. Homemade ham broth was to die for. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere. Would also highly recommend the scones!

Nunca visita Corbridge sin un bocado en el té y en él, la comida es de primera clase y hoy la cebolla caramelizada y queso azul scones eran de primera clase, como siempre. Llegar temprano. porque se van rápido. . Pot agradable de té (2 tazas) y un café estupendo para mí mi señora, tres bollos entre nosotros, el amable personal y todo por 10 libras

Gran lugar para comer o simplemente un pequeño taza y un bollo. Generalmente tienen la sopa casera y un rollo. Siempre muy sabrosa.

Stopped in Corbridge for coffee on route to Newcastle, only place open was Tea and Tipple (17th may 9.30am) really good americano coffee and nice tasty scones. Quaint furnishings and good atmosphere.

Good coffee too! comes with a free refill and a range of snacks and scones- a really nice place on the market place in Corbridge.

Comfortable, informal atmosphere with friendly service. Coffee and tea were good but disappointed with absence of toasted tea cakes.

Fabulous quality ingredients and produce excellent service. This tea room is one of the best ive been to and i will be back!!

always pop in here when we cycle to or through Corbridge for a rest, cuppa and sandwich. cheese, ham & chutney sarnies are lush!!the cakes look amazing, but I have resisted to date - no good cycling on a full stomachvisited Monday 13/03/17

Always tend to pop in for a cuppa and cake when in Corbridge.Foods always lovely they have a great choice of cakes &Amy wife I can't resist.

Stopped numerous times on recent trips south from Scotland. Probably our favourite of all the myriad of coffee shops in Corbridge. Despite other reviews we've always found service friendly and efficient as we just rely on the 30 mins free parking in Corbridge and have never had to feed the meter. Scones are just a bit different which is welcome. Highly recommended.

We've tried the Tea & Tipple many times and always felt that whist the service isn't the best, the food and coffee are pretty good and worth the visit.Our latest visit tests this theory given that the service remains poor, bordering dreadful and food would appear to be going down hill too. They struggled to get an order of toast, scones and coffee's correct and frankly didn't seem too worried either!I struggle to understand this place and can only assume that the owners aren't really that bothered and don't feel that customer service is important. On that basis, neither will we and we shall not bother again.

We had a delicious morning tea, with coffee, hot chocolates and wonderful cheese scones. Just what we needed on a cold December day! Service was friendly and quick.

Loved this place. Great food, lovely staff and nice drinks. The soup and sandwiches were stunning. Nice comfy set up and speedy service.

Best tomato and basil soup I've had. Lovely and relaxed atmosphere and spacious tea room. No rush to leave. Would definitely return.

Nothing too much trouble for this cafe, great menu, spelt bread is always a good choice, coffee and scones spot on. Went twice in one day!

Worth a visit for the scones alone! Gorgeous blue cheese scones...mmmm! Friendly staff and a lovely place to call in.

There is a reason for it being popular. We go for the great service and good food selection. Quite possibly the best filter coffee I know of in the UK with a free top up. Fruit scone is always a good option and the spelt bread is brilliant ( Gluten Free wife can eat this !!!) 5 stars and it they never disappoint!

There are many great tea shops in Corbridge but many are a bit cramped, this one is light, airy and spacious. Lovely salads, home made soups, cakes and scones and very friendly service.

Excellent carrot soup but disappointingly stale scone served with butter and jam; cream was requested, but was then told that they'd run out. Would have preferred that information up front so could have made an alternative selection!Nice to be able to browse the newspapers.

I go here to do my art and writings. It is a great pleasure. It is so beautiful. I return often. Thank you. The food is wonderful.

There was a good mix of locals and visitors. Very friendly staff.Ecletic decor. Easy to find in the square.The scones were freshly made and a good range of cakes looked appetising.Bonus to get a coffee refill.The soup and bread were just right.
