This place used to be the newsagents. They do Christmas meals. Which were really nice. The family speaks highly of their service. Meals and pies taste great.

Food is amazing, beautifully made! Adore the quiche and the pies but partial to the sweet treats- love the unique combinations of the brownies and cakes as well as the classics. Max is so lovely too!

We got our Christmas dinner from here, it was outstanding! Took all the Christmas cooking stress away and was delicious. We’ve since had takeaway Sunday dinner which was amazing value for money. Would recommend to everyone!

The most splendid food stop within miles. It’s just up from the Dene in Holywell if you are cycling and there is ample parking nearby and some outside. It is run with passion by the amazing Maxine for whom good quality and best value go hand in hand. From baking to the blues busting Sunday lunches. And one option with THREE different meats on. Always perfectly cooked and ready to enjoy at home. Pro tip: book your Sunday lunch prior to collecting.

Excellent food and great service. Sunday takeaway lunch is the best value for money you can get.

I can not think of anywhere that you could get a Sunday lunch of such good quality for such a low cost. I don't know of any local pubs that could compete with such quality of food and value for money as well as the excellent service. WELL DONE !! We will be back

Maxine is a legend! All home cooking. From cup cakes to corn beef and potato pies... No mass production, no factory, just Maxine and a kitchen... Perfect.

Nice little cafe. We sat outside at the table. Coffee, Hot Chocolate and lovely chocolate crispy cake with marshmallows and peanut chocolates. Large slices as well (but containing zero calories according to the lovely owner).

This is a little corner of edible treasures. The sausage, bacon and egg roll was really fresh and filled with perfectly cooked bacon, sausages and topped with a slightly runny egg as per my choice. I would really recommend this as a great way to start your day. Certainly will be back again.

If you aren’t to picky on the furniture being the same and everything being up to date you’ll really enjoy this cafe. It’s very welcoming in the sense that you feel at home and the quality of the food is second to none. I get a breakfast roll and the bacon is lovely and thick along with the rest of the sandwich being quality!

Sorry Max, but I didnt like the taste or temperature of your quiche - not ideal heated up in microwave. My son is easy to please but he wasnt impressed with his sausage sandwich. And I may be wrong but I think from your menu prices we were overcharged .

When entering this establishment I was expected to see furniture from Tk Maxx as I am a very big fan of this shop, however I was shocked and mortified to see what can only be described as the worlds worst chairs, (nervous breakdown pending) the chairs were just disgusting I felt like I was in a skip as there was so much clutter! this really affected my aura and my stability from only being in the shop for 10 seconds. As I walked up to the counter trying not to trip up on all of the bric-a-brac, I ask for a sausage sandwich as I was rather rough from a wild Saturday night on the wine, The short haired person behind the counter advised me that there would be no bacon or sausage today, and this is not what I wanted to hear on a Sunday morning. So instead I was offered a hot meat sandwich and with me being party vegan (apart from a Sunday) this shocked me, as I am meat free Monday - Saturday (free the piggies). So as I accepted the beef sandwich with stuffing and gravy I asked if the bread was shipped in from dimwambia (very beautiful country) she said no, so I decided to order the full carb bread. After having my eyeballs poked out after paying £4.50 for a sandwich when the bread looked like It was from the Londis, I sat down to wait for this "sandwich", the person brought the sandwich in a plastic box I was absolutely mortified as I only eat meals on wooden plates which I carve myself. After this traumatic experience I tucked in with a meat eaters mind and inhaled. I would rate the sandwich A strong 7. I will be returning for a lovely sandwich, love the person who works there and I would reccomend a vegan friendly menu.

We wanted a small old-fashioned afternoon tea in a homely setting following my father's funeral. Max was the proper Geordie hostess throughout; the tables were laid, the spread was fabulous with all the old time favourites - the biggest and best Victoria sponge ever, perfect corned beef pie, beautifully light lemon drizzle cake and scones. Nothing was too much trouble for her. This place and Max are a credit to the village!

We loved our first visit here today with our pair of cocker Spaniels. Lovely warm and friendly welcome for humans and treats for the dogs. Great homemade food at very reasonable prices. We particularly enjoyed the homemade gluten free coconut lime and elderflower cake. Will make this our regular halfway halt.

This place is clean,cozy and well run. Been a couple of times for breakfast and both times they were freshly cooked and delicious .Not much room inside but you can take away including a Sunday roast just take a plate along. Freshly made scones and pies and cakes. Give it a try well worth it

I class myself as a bit of a cafe expert, I'm a keen cyclist and spend lots of time in them... So what's my idea of the perfect cafe??? Small, very friendly, quality food, exceptional value... You'll get all this at the Fantastically named "Tea Cake Max"... I'm originally from the area but now live in Yorkshire and called in whilst on holiday visiting family... You get a lovely welcome from Maxime who by the way will never be rich charging the small tariffs she does for her delicious menu...I had a lovely cheese/mushroom flan followed by a massive slice of delicious chocolate cake with ice cream...nom nom... My dog Tillie (dogs welcome) had a sausage...I was even allowed to pick up the cafes guitar and sing a song.. Unfortunately I'm going to miss the famous great value Sunday lunches as I'm going home the day before... Wish I could move this cafe to Yorkshire so I could call in every day... Brilliant :

My Mam comes here quite a lot with our dog and she always talks about how great it is. Therefore I thought I should go and test it out too! I went here with my Mam and dog. It’s a nice little cosy, inviting place. There was a lovely woman called Lorraine who served us. Both of us had cheese burgers which were very nice. The prices are very reasonable and I’d like to come back to try the Sunday lunches! I’ve heard these are nice. They also serve cakes too which I feel like I missed out on today. You’ll be seeing me again! :)

My partner visited with a friend today. Was told takeaway was available when he asked at 2:40pm, but then at 3pm was advised food was off when he asked for mince and dumplings, they should of advised food was only served till 3pm when he asked. They went ahead and made it after a carry on with the kitchen about making it. He arrived home with it the portion size was small and food was on paper plates not suitable for hot meal should of been in suitable takeout containers. The dumplings were not cooked they were raw and gooey. I am appauled and disgusted that someone would sell food looking like this to customer! Around £14 for 2 people not worth the money.

Really lovely place. Lovely girls. Quite superb cakes. The cheesecake was so fresh it could barely stay on the plate. The warmed German apple cake with ice cream, speechless! :) So close to the A1 in the old High Street.

Normally we have a lovely time at Pier Red and the food is delicious. Today we went to this beau venue and I arrived before my husband - ordered a bottle of Prosecco which we do whenever we visit. The table to the side of us had some food delivered to their table. We went to order and were informed only cakes available. We were not informed on arrival that food would be stopped at a certain time nor any notice on the door. If we had of known no food then we would have gone elsewhere and spent our money.. I understand that Joanne you had a meeting on site but you need to respect your customers too. Diane
