Piping hot coffee and freshly baked cheeses scone in a traditional tearoom. satisfying on a wet day!....................................

Lovely atmosphere. Helpful and genuine staff. Lovely Welsh Rarebit And enjoyed having 4 year old in as well Been here a number of times and will be back again

Absolutely amazing Afternoon Tea for family and friends for my 60th birthday. Food gorgeous and lovely and fresh. Fantastic friendly service. A little gem ❤️

What a delightful cafe that I found by accident. The menu was fantastic lots of variety. Me and my husband had the most wonderful lunch the food and presentation was fabulous. If I lived closer I would eat here all the time. All tables were full and people were queuing at the door. I will 100% return here when we next visit Morpeth can not recommend enough. Thanks for the wonderful lunch oh and the homemade coleslaw was divine!!!

Excellent cafe with very attentive servers and lovely food. Lots of choice and great gluten free options. Had cream tea gf for me one afternoon then back for a delicious lunch the next day. I had gf Brie, bacon and cranberry sandwich. Great choice of cakes too,

Reasonable sized menu meant it was possible to deliver the tasty food to the table hot and well presented. Prawn baked potato was just as it should be. Service good and friendly. All precautions evident and checking in procedure observed to ensure correctly done.

We’ve visited the Chantry Tea Rooms a number of times but not during the pandemic. Our previous visits have always been very pleasant and this time was no different. From the friendly welcome to the excellent service and food, we felt very safe. The staff were really careful to follow a rigorous cleaning routine after each set of diners, and drinks and food were brought on trays for us to avoid any unnecessary handling. The soup and cheese scone is highly recommended, as are the club sandwich and toasties. Everything freshly prepared and no long waits to anything - our visit was perfect.

We are café owners ourselves, so we went in search of an independent café for some lunch. We were not disappointed here! Very tasty food, drinks nice and hot and the staff were fab. Thanks!

Stumbled into and glad we did, warmly welcomed, great range of cakes and can certainly recommend the scones!!

I always forget about these tea rooms mainly because of their location. I went for lunch today with my mum and we had a delicious bowl of homemade lentil soup. The cafe has a nice atmosphere, a good menu and lovely homemade pies and quiche. It was all very covid friendly and the tables and chairs disinfected after use. The staff here are friendly and attentive. If youre looking for somewhere to go in morpeth you really need to give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Stopped off here for lunch whilst visiting Morpeth, and the quality of food is exceptional.I would definitely recommend The Chantry Tea Rooms for lunch (I particularly enjoyed my Toasted Cheese & Ham sandwich), or even just a stop for tea and cake.Great quality at a fair priceAlso visited while social distancing was in force, and everything was really well set out: gel on the way in, table set apart well, and menus under the glass on the table so you didn't have to touch anything.Definitely recommend!

Our go to place if we are visiting Morpeth. Home cooked food served with a smile. Prices seem to have gone up a bit, but still excellent value.

Stopped in here to have tea and sandwiches on a visit to Morpeth. Sandwiches were delicious. Staff helpful and friendly

This cafe is charming. But it's produce are lovely too. Delicious scones. Service was speedy, friendly and effective. We visited during covid and the protection measures employed were rigorous

Just sat in the above Tea room with my partner. He has had cheese scone with tea. Says its the best cheese scone he had ever eaten.

Went here on spec today and we were welcomed in despite not booking. Tables well spaced and sanitiser at door. Waitress was very pleasant and nice and our food was very tasty. As were their tray bakes! Nice menu with various choices and although out of pie today there was still plenty to choose from. Inexpensive even without the eat out scheme. Would certainly return. Loos are outside round the back and there's a lovely bicycle plant stand in the little yard!

Called on our way to Alnwick. The staff were very friendly,they were also very good cleaning tables after people left and there was sanister too. The toasted sandwiches were lovely and well presented. The cherry and almond scone was delicious certainly recommend

Nice tasty treats scones are worth coming for alone ! Lovely staff lovely atmosphere lovely little tea room

Our first return visit following lockdown. The ladies have all covid necessities in order and I felt very safe. Tables and chairs thoroughly cleaned between customers and menus safely placed under the glass table top. Contact details requested. The food as always was delicious and the cafe is even participating in the half price (up to a maximum of £10 off per person) on Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Thanks for allowing me to enjoy a lovely afternoon of near normality ladies!

We recently visited and thoroughly enjoyed every bite of our lunch. The quality and portion size was excellent. The staff were friendly, approachable and knowledgable of the menu and recommendations. We felt the staff had gone above and beyond with their COVID procedures and we felt very safe. We 100% will return. Thank you for a fabulous lunch!

We took the opportunity to return to the best tearoom in Morpeth after it reopened it's doors.Not disappointed in the slightest, still great food and great service. Unfortunately you can't see the cheery faces because of the gingham face coverings.Homemade soup, homemade scone and Welsh rarebit, all delicious and devoured, not by one person I might add.Some tables have been removed from inside to make it more Covid compliant but to make up for it there are now two tables outside so you can eat with your four legged friends in tow.As a famous Austrian once said, 'I'll be back'.

Superb quality home cooked food, generous portions, scones served in variety of flavours. We had coconut and lemon scones and cherry and almond ones and they were delicious. High quality tea in special diffusers. Jacket potatoes perfectly cooked and generous portions. Friendly and helpful service. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely warm and welcoming little cafe. Very popular. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I had the corned beef and potato pie and my sisters, the tomato and red onion quiche. Both homemade and very tasty. Both accompanied with salad and really creamy coleslaw. Finished off with cherry bakewell and a slice of chocolate cake. Again lovely.

The Chantry offers not only a welcoming atmosphere and great service it's got the best homemade quality dishes and cakes.It features its regular dishes such as lentil soup, pies and quiches but other specials that day. All tasty, made with quality ingredients and fresh that day. My personal favourites include the soup and sandwich deal followed by the most amazing battenburg cake. I love it so much the ladies don't need to ask me anymore!

Always busy but worth waiting to get a seat. Great menu choice and excellent fare. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Staff friendly and food good. Pleasant environment but small space so could get crowded quickly. Clean and tea-shop cute decor. However, noted tables were cleaned with a cloth that is soaked in a tub (presumably in cleaner) which had an overpowering smell of old cloth in bleach!

This was my first visit to these tea rooms. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the afternoon tea was delicious. I will definitely call in next time in area and would recommend to others

Always a friendly welcome. Freshly prepared food with a great selection to choose from. Delicious home baked quiche and cakes.

We enjoy an occasional visit to Morpeth and always have lunch at the Chantry Tearooms. It is always a warm and friendly welcome. The food is lovely and fresh.Personally I think they make the best ever Club sandwich, served with a salad garnish and beautiful coleslaw.

Fabulous Festive Lunch. We all had the Festive Turkey, Cranberry and Stuffing Stottie, wirh coleslaw, salad and crisps. Very tasty, highly recommend

I've been before so the lovely welcome from the attentive staff was no surprise.The Festive Turkey special was calling my name and it didn't disappoint. Jam packed with Turkey, stuffing and cranberry in a good sized stottie, served with salad, crisps and the delicious homemade coleslaw. Stuffed.....but still managed a Xmas style scone to finish, time for a lie down.

Discovered this cafe only this week despite visiting Morpeth many times. Gorgeous soup which was Gluten Free a bonus for me . Gluten free bread and cake available also . Lovely friendly staff . outside toilet but we didnt find that a problem. We will be here all the time now

Excellent place for tea and cakes, a late breakfast (opens 9am) or a light lunch. Very friendly staff too.

My mom and I were looking for a tea room to try English Tea while in England and came across The Chantry and we are SO GLAD we did!! We got the afternoon tea for two and it was to die for. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the tea was perfect! (Try the crunchy Carmel slice of cake...I’m still dreaming of this)

What a wonderful place to have coffee/tea and or lunch . Home baking was delicious and the lemon sponge as light as a feather. First time eating a stottie and it was yummy, with tasty Northumbrian sausage. The staff were fantastic too, service was efficient and friendly and great value for money . Added bonus was craft centre, art shop and yarn shop in the same wee corner of the town .

A lovely cosy oldy worldy type tearoom, the staff were warm and welcoming and the menu had quite a few GF options. The food was simple but delicious, the homemade coleslaw, in particular, was super. The latte coffee was also excellent, all in all well worth a visit, we will certainly pop in again .

We popped in for lunch during the summer holidays. The tea room is small but the tables have plenty of space and we managed to get seated fairly easily. The service was great and very pleasant. We opted for a variety of lunch time treats - all of which were great value for money and extremely tasty! Would recommend if you're looking for a cute tea room with homemade food.

We only had a quick cuppa here, but wish we had gone back for food as it did look very appetising, fresh and homemade. I must say the staff here were very welcoming and very friendly, we will definitely have lunch here on our next visit.

My husband and I called into the Chantry today looking for a light lunch and we weren’t disappointed... I had tuna sandwich with a lovely fresh side salad and coleslaw very nice indeed, my husband requested the Ploughman’s Lunch and he was delighted 5 star, good quality cheeses warm crusty bread salad, pickles apple everything you expect on a ploughman’s and not to forget a complimentary slice of thick roasted ham ...the waitress was lovely an absolute pleasure ., we will be back that’s a definite

Had a really tasty lunch here. The only downside to this place is that it gets very busy and you cannot always get a seat. Good value and good food.

We enjoyed an afternoon tea here. We loved the freshly made sandwiches and delicious scones. Lovely friendly staff made it an enjoyable experience.

Beautiful little cafe, cosy and clean. Very friendly staff taking orders. The quiche was delicious - home made - huge slice too. For an extra £1.00 my husband opted for a jacket potato with it. My daughters loved their lunches too. I had a warm sultana scone which was light and delicious. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and will definitely call again when next in Morpeth. Highly recommend.

We called in for a lunch on a recent visit, and we were very impressed by the food and the service. My wife felt that her quiche was the best she had eaten for a very long time.

We visit as often as possible with friends and family! The food is home-made and always amazing, the staff are just as wonderful and welcoming, there's nowhere better! No trip to Morpeth is worthwhile without tasting their delights. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they make your day really special. Thank you Chantry Tea Rooms!

Visited The Chantry tea room today. Lovely quaint and very friendly. Will be returning soon!! The strawberry, white chocolate and vanilla scone was delicious. Best one I’ve had for years.......... and I’m addicted to them. 5 stars a little gem!!

We zochten als tussenstop een gezellig lunchtentje waar we typisch op z’n Engels konden genieten; dat is gelukt! Heel erg lekker gegeten voor relatief weinig geld.

Love coming here. I visit or try to at least once a month. My daughter and I love this little cafe. Ooh new crunchy brownie it’s delightful. Good price and all freshly made. Staff are always friendly too.

Brought along a good friend whose businesses are in food and hospitality and we were both delighted with the whole experience. Good food, good service and a warm and friendly atmosphere. I would recommend to anyone living in or visiting Morpeth. Excellent!

My wife and I just had Scone and a soft drink Excellent scones it was busy when we arrived but a table was found for us by very friendly lady. It was very quickly service with a smile. We will be back next time we come to the area.

Stopped in Morpeth for a late lunch. Highly recommend The Chantry, lovely tea room, all food homemade. Spoiled for choice, settled on the quiche, it was lovely.

Our usual choice of café in Morpeth was full on a busy and rainy Saturday lunchtime so we found this sweet little tea-room recommended on TripAdvisor. It was every bit as good as we hoped. When we arrived there was one table free and I hesitated by the door as it was a table for 4 and there were only 2 of us. A member of staff immediately came out of the kitchen and gestured to us to sit at the empty table. We found the selection on offer really tempting, my husband chose soup (lentil and vegetable) with a ham roll and I had the day’s special of pâté with a warm baguette, chutney and salad. It was very enjoyable and a generous portion of everything. The speed with which it was brought out was quite surprising given how busy it was. We decided to treat ourselves to a dessert which was brought out almost as quickly. Despite the busy-ness there was no pressure to leave or finish quickly and we felt really welcome and valued customers. We will no doubt go again and definitely recommend to others.

We chose this cafe based on the reviews. We visited on a Saturday so it was busy, however the service was poor. No one told us there would be a wait, no one apologised for the wait or checked that we were ok . It took nearly half an hour for our sandwiches to arrive. The bread was not fresh and feel it was overpriced for what was received.

Popped in for a bite to eat and a cuppa to dodge the rain and had a lovely warm welcome from a member of staff.

Stopped here with a few friends for a catch-up, really enjoyed the very welcoming feel of the tea room, had a lovely cup of tea and a delicious tuna melt, would highly recommend to anyone having a wonder through Morpeth.

The tea room has recently had a make over and it looks great! The food and service are still as good as ever. The quiche and pies are homemade and delicious as is the chocolate cake. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming... Great little place!

Dropped in for a cup of tea and toast. Nice decor, good tea but cheap ready sliced bread and cheap marmalade. A smile from the server would also have been welcome.

Called in here after missing breakfast in the hotel. I had a bacon roll and my wife had scrambled egg on toast both were very good. Small but charming little cafe.

We called here on the day of the Morpeth gathering for food and drinks. My friends all enjoyed their meals. I wished I'd not had lunch but made space for a delicious cheese and sun dried tomato scone wioth my coffee. Lovely.

Visited on a quiet Monday. Good corned bbef pie and a very nice pate. Good selection of home baking - excellent Battenberg cake. Friendly service - not sure if they have a toilet though...

called in for lunch yesterday while visiting family and I have to say it was fabulous. I had the bacon and leek quiche which was the nicest I have had. Friendly staff. The only downside is the toilets are located outside round the back but it won't put me off coming back again

We ambled to this tea room at half 3, hoping to grab a drink before it closed at 4. We were kindly seated by the waitress and given time to mull over the menu. Due to the time only scones and cakes were being served. We opted for a latte, green tea and cherry scone. All were lovely. The bill came to a little over £7. We'd definitely return if we were in the area.

Small cosy tearoom serving freshly baked home cooked food. Cheerful pleasant staff, tasty snacks and cakes, what's not to like.

Pleasant coffee & tea room. I had a flat white which was okay though not particularly strong tasting.

Modern chintz interior, prompt and friendly service. Nice choice of scones; we had the date and walnut which was just perfect hint of sweetness with whole meal flour. Excellent range of cakes too. Cappuccino could do with a little more coffee as more like a latte, but did come in nice wide cup. Visiting the loo is interesting, but quite satisfactory when you get there.

Well it was an interesting vist. The tea room its self is a bit to small and with it being packed caused some problems. The food was good and have plenty of taste to it. Been a couple of times and each time have felt satisfied they are not trying to claim to be something they weren't.

Quite simply- just a great tea room. Excellent tray bakes and scones. Enjoyed our hot drinks, scones and this yummy maltester slice. Took a carry out as well too

My wife and I dropped in for lunch when visiting Morpeth. We chose from the main menu - the cafe does have a specials board - and really enjoyed the freshly made sandwiches. It's not very big but is cosy and friendly and the staff are very welcoming and pleasant. It's good value for money, warm and clean with excellent service. It's a pleasant and peaceful place for a light lunch and/or morning/afternoon break. We'll be back.

Atmosphere very friendly. Cosy place for a relaxing meal. Food freshly made. Ideal for any meal. Good selection of flavoured teas.

I went here with my mum for lunch - I had the egg sandwiches and she had the Welsh rarebit, both incredibly fresh. They made no fuss over my request for no butter on my sandwiches, and we both had lovely homemade mince pies afterwards. A total recommendation if you wish for a quiet place to eat with a sweet bite!

And one of my rare 5* as, in my brief visit, I couldn't make any constructive criticism.

Good choice of food, friendly and welcoming staff. Enjoyed using the tea pots for the early grey tea!

The Chantry is a traditional style tea room and a very good one at that.

Delightful cafe in the historic town of Morpeth. Most welcoming, friendly staff producing delicious home made food. We visited last week with our American friends who really enjoyed the visit. Today I popped in for a snack and found it to be consistently good,I would defiantly recommended this cafe and go as far as to say that it is possibly the best in Morpeth.

Clean and comfortable cafe/tea room, doing light lunches, cakes and scones etc. Service efficient and friendly, food fresh and delicious.

What a lovely find The Chantry was. We had just finished playing golf and wanted a quick bite to eat. We came across The Chantry and I was really impressed. The staff were so attentive and friendly. We both ordered the soup and cheese scone.

Saw the reviews and decided to give it a try, yes the food was home cooked and it is a nice tea room but we thought the place is a little expensive for what we had there.

A lovely and traditional cafe style eatery in a convenient location in Morpeth.

Lovely friendly cafe with delicious home cooked food. Just off the Main Street in Morpeth and definitely worth a visit.

I loved the choice of scones here. Husband and I had different ones do could swap. Couldn't choose favourite between the strawberry, white chocolate and vanilla one and date and walnut. Both were excellent. You get a choice of jams too! Tea comes in large pot. Staff friendly and efficient. What not to like!

James had baked potato with prawns and salad, I had the cheese and tomato on brown sandwich - both meals were Devine! Such a lovely meal in a lovely setting with VERY friendly staff - highly recommend ❤️

My hubby and I called in around 1pm for lunch. Couldn’t resist the corned beef pie, served with side salad, coleslaw and crisps, then the hubby had Eton mess for dessert. Gorgeous food, prompt service by lovely ladies, couldn’t fault a thing. Lovely ambiance, full of couples and ladies who like to lunch, well worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

We decided to try this tea room on a hot sunny days shopping for lunch. We have visited before in the past and remember the gorgeous home made soup It is a lovely clean and friendly place, the menu is varied, and mum and I made our choice, we both opted for Chicken and Ham pie from the blackboard. We found prices very steep indeed mum opted for a glass of tap water rather than any other of the drinks on offer. The chicken and ham pie was very very tasty, but the portions were on the small side for the price. They seem to serve takeaway sarnies, we both thought if we had known we could have bought 2 of them and sat in the glorious sunshine in Carlisle Park.

My wife and I visit this super tearoom regularly for lunch. The staff are very pleasant and attentive and if you are looking for a light lunch the food is ideal

Visited with friends for coffee. Friendly service and prompt arrival of our coffee which was good. Only slight negative tables seem quite close together which might not be so good if it was busy

Hubby and I both had Welsh Rarebit and a pot of tea. Very good service and so beautifully decorated. The home baking looked delicious but we were too full! The toilet was outside the cafe, just around the corner but very clean.

Been to this cafe a lot and i am never disappointed. Great food and Great staff who always seem to be happy here some great laughing from the kitchen which make everyone smile. I love this hidden gem.

A bit like a step back in time. Outside toilet! Good friendly service and delicious home cooked food, reasonably priced.

Visited for a morning coffee with my wife. Beautiful homemade scones and cakes, and good value. Great service from friendly staff, who are only too happy to help and accommodate dietary needs.

This place is small - so dont be surprised if you cant get a table. We visited for a light lunch. Food came quickly, with very welcoming service, and was fully enjoyed. Decent value too

Decided to treat ourselves to lunch and chose The Chantry as it never fails to please. Arrived around 2pm to find only two available tables. Despite being busy, we had our menu in two minutes, drinks in 5 minutes and food within 10 minutes of arriving. Predictably we chose corned beef pie for me and chicken and bacon pie for my hubby. Served with salad, crisps and creamy homemade coleslaw. We then simply had to have the home made sticky toffee pudding with custard for me and pouring cream for my hubby. Quite simply a delight from start to finish, food to die for and perfect staff who know just how to look after their customers. We’ll be back very soon!!!

Visited here the other day for the first time. Lovely little tearoom such a little cosy setup. We had homemade soup and fresh baked cheese scones to die for. There were many item on their special menu board to choose from. Coffee was enjoyable also a large pot of tea, went down a treat.

Visit regularly. It's my local tearoom of choice despite the plethora of similar places in Morpeth. I'm gluten free and they always have fresh and delicious options for meals and snacks. Good selection of Ringtons Teas as well and friendly staff.

Visited yesterday for a celebration tea after winning the "Committee Cup" at the morpeth gathering. The cakes were excellent and the staff even allowed us to linger after their official "closing time".

This place is tucked away next to the chantry. You can easily miss it. Plenty of parking in the town but not just outside.

I have visited the chantry tea room on several occasions both for lunch and afternoon tea on each visit the food and service have been of a very good quality I would recommend the vegetable and lentil soup also a great club sandwich.

Second time visiting. This place is fantastic value for money. Great selection of tea. My favourite item and the reason for the visit are the savoury cheese and bacon muffins. Light, airy and super tasty. And they get the butter right. It's not rock solid like a lot of cafés. Great atmosphere and always busy.

Called in for lunch, managed to get a table for 4 despite the room being fairly busy. Service very quick and food arrived soon after. Must say food was good but a little disappointed with sandwiches, they obviously cater more for the tea and scone brigade.

Called in to the Chantry Tea Room for a light bite and had soup (lentil and vegetable) and a sandwich with a mug of coffee.

I will gladly return the staff and service were first class. The coffee was excellent. The owner clearly gets regulars coming back. A very friendly team.

Just popped in for our regular coffee and cheese scone on our way home from shopping. We didn't even need to give our order, they just know. I was struck by just how delicious their cheese scones are. Wherever we go we always compare the cheese scones with the ones from the Chantry. Mmm, delicious.
