The Lowrys at Chandlery in Northumberland

The cafe has a terrific position just under the old walls with a handy carpark on the doorstep and marvellous views over Tweed estuary, the sea and the famous three bridges that span the mouth of the river at this historic spot. We opted for the fresh crab open sandwich (£13.90) which was very generous with delicious sweet white and dark fresh crabmeat, plenty of interesting salad and good bread. As it was a sunny day all the outside tables were already taken but we were comfortable inside. A very tempting display of cakes and desserts also beckoned, so we indulged in the triple cream layered Victoria sandwich. Good coffee, interesting tea selection, pleasant table service. A great discovery, we will definitely return.

Called in here after our visit to the Lowry by the Sea exhibition at the nearby Granary. It's in a lovely location by the Tweed estuary and close to the city walls. Sadly the weather wasn't up to much but we took a table outside and were served very quickly. I chose a latte and my friend tea. To eat I opted for a crumble cake with a salted caramel sauce. My friend chose a fruit scone which was served with generous amounts of clotted cream and strawberry jam. I don't think I would go for the crumble cake again. It was one of those confections which look good but lack substance. It was incredibly sweet too, although that shouldn't have been a surprise as the waitress did warn me. My friend's scone was pronounced lovely. The accompanying wasp thought so too so we beat a hasty retreat into the safety of the cafe itself. Prices are reasonable, the service is good and staff very friendly. Perhaps not a five star rating but there's no reason why we wouldn't return.

Me and my family alongside close friends went to the Cafe, we were met by one horrible old woman, firstly before being served we were told only one person is aloud in to order, then when we sat outside she came out and stated we couldn't sit there as we were ordering drinks for takeout. As you can imagine we walked away without buying anything. I hope people opt for other cafe's in the area as grotbags is horrible to have front of house.

Called in for a coffee, but then decided to eat. Crab sandwich special was excellent as was the italian spiced panini. Coffee was very good too, so we called back later and had another

What a gem. Fantastic food, lovely staff and great value. We had jacket potatoes with tea/coffee. Speedy service and great to see homemade coleslaw. We really liked their attention to detail and care. Highly recommended

Good location , friendly staff,excellently presented and tasty sandwiches,great choice of beverages, lovely freshly made cakes . Great places for breakfast or lunch

We had lunch there, sandwich for my partner and jacket potato for me. It was well presented and tasty. We went round the shops then returned for coffee and scones. The staff were very friendly and polite, hey couldn't do enough for us. I saw the 2 young women baking in the kitchen

Another favourite coffee shop in the area, with very good coffee. We both had a scone, one cheese and one fruit, and they were excellent. The other cakes looked too tempting and we succumbed to taking out 2 slices of lemon drizzle cake for later (which were also lovely). Situated at the side of the River Tweed as it flows out to sea, it is an excellent pit stop on a riverside walk. Good products and good service.

2nd time visiting this this lovely cafe. Had the crab sandwich last time to die for . This visit had delicious jacket spuds very well presented and delicious. Cakes gorgeous and very friendly staff. Our go to place in Berwick. Also very reasonable.

Disgusting service. Rude woman elderly with grey hair. Very rude to her staff and customers. Will not be coming again. After ordering told to go outside and wait. Very rude!! First time here ....never again.

The food here is delicious. I highly recommend the quiche. It was busy but we managed to get an outdoor table as someone was leaving. Table service but pay at the counter inside when you are done.

Perfect breakfast stop off. Beneath the town walls and situated in the chandlery . Beautifully served, warm and tasty coffee followed by a perfectly cooked bacon bap in a perfectly warm floury bap and a Cumberland sausage bap. Staff were lovely, quick to serve. Was just lovely. Thank you

Excellent as always. We were regulars until we moved house - but have missed the gorgeous home made food this gem of a cafe does SO well. Quiche is the best I have ever had. Staff are lovely and always busy - so may not have loads of time to chat but always welcoming. We also love sitting outside - it feels like a street cafe in a lovely European town. Thank you and well done - always 👍

Spotted this place as we headed back to the car park by the quay. Planned to have a coffee but the crab sandwich looked so good. As we were a group we had two crab sandwiches and some mozzarella toasties too. The food was soo tasty but the crab sandwiches were another level. We followed up with cakes and coffee which were all delicious. Definitely worth a return visit.

Had a delicious lunch yesterday at this very friendly place. The open crab sandwich and panini were very tasty. There was a large selection of herbal teas and I can certainly recommend the lemongrass and ginger. My husband enjoyed his 2 flat whites. Both the tea and coffee are locally sourced in Newcastle. The two homemade cakes we had were very yummy. We sat outside with our dog who loved the fuss they made of her and they even brought her her own water bowl. All in all a great find and we will certainly be back when visiting the area in the future.

Food and coffee was acceptable. Customer service is absolutely shocking and for this reason I wouldn’t recommend. How difficult is it to be nice snd maybe have a wee smile!

Gluten free crab sandwich and blueberry and banana cake- both were delicious. A great find with polite and helpful staff.

Stopped in here for a lovely outdoor breakfast in this beautiful town by the sea. Service was impeccable and the scones and a bacon/ cheese roll were delicious. Such a nice way to start our day with a wonderful meal, smiling service and good coffee! My husband said it was the best coffee of our 8 day trip to the UK!

Highly recommend a visit here. Lovely staff . Sandwich I ordered was fit for a king . We didn't have to pay to use the toilet. We will return in October. Ty

Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The GF provision for sandwiches and paninis was second to none and very thoughtful. Most importantly, the GF cake range was wide, and homemade and the lemon drizzle a triumph.

Sat outside and had two drinks - I ordered a strong flat white - it came as a standard white coffee. After finishing went in to the toilet and to pay. I was heading for the toilet (at the back) when a voice cried 'can I help you' - not needing any help I carried on. 'Can I help you' again - I looked round and there was a member of staff stood behind me staring at me - by this time other customers were looking. I said just going to the toilet - the loud reply was 'are you a customer'. I said yes (we had been there over half an hour) and asked 'I presume if you aren't then you aren't allowed to use it?' - no answer. On the way out I paid - there was no 'thank you' or 'goodbye'- I thought 'welcome to Berwick'. I presume Lowrys is NOT part of the 'use our loo' scheme. My wife received a similar questioning. As it was approaching lunchtime we left and went to the Granary - through the stone arch opposite, left and it's the cream building in front you. A lovely restored building that is now a Youth Hostel with a cafe and bistro. The profits go to a good cause.

Every year we go to Berwick and use this cafe as a must. Food is always fresh and great quality. The Latte’s with your favourite syrup shot are to die for! If they are full come back 10-15 minutes later and you usually get in....

Having spotted Lowry’s during a walk around the town walls we returned to enjoy coffee and scone served by pleasant staff in this lovely spot.

Arranged to meet a friend for lunch while on holiday. Lovely, friendly staff. The crab open sandwich was delicious and generous. Good coffee too. In fact, it was so nice we returned later in the afternoon for tea and homemade cake.

Excellent cafe….open crab sandwiches were delicious! Staff were very friendly. Would recommend and will definitely return if in Berwick

Came across the Lowery, by chance on a rainy day in Berwick. What luck! Cosy, friendly, with quick service, and the special today was fresh crab open sandwich. Excellent flavour from a packed plate. First class all round

Chance find when looking for lunch. The weather was kind enough for us to be able to sit outside. Table service with friendly staff. My husband really enjoyed his open crab sandwich. We returned for breakfast on another day, which was also very nice.

We came here as a result of reading the reviews about the open crab sandwich. We both selected this for our lunch and we’re not disappointed . The food was delicious and all the staff were pleasant and helpful. Thoroughly recommend this to anyone visiting...

9 of us dropped in here unplanned on a Thursday morning for coffee, hot chocolate and bit of cake. They were very friendly and accommodating and the coffee was good!

We stopped off for coffee & cake as a group of 8 & proceeded to move tables so we could sit together. A young waitress with a terrible attitude told us we could only have 2 tables as they “have other customers”. She was really...

Got a couple of rolls of bacon which was beautiful, nice and crisp. The cakes were beautiful aswell and was a nice peaceful breakfast we had. Staff were also really nice to our dog Addie, she enjoyed her bone very much! Would definitely recommend it.

Lowry's is a regular stopping off point for us on our strolls around Berwick. It tends to be a fair weather option, as our two dogs restrict us to the outside tables. Very friendly staff, and can highly recommend the local crab salad, the bacon...

Our group had the crab, prawn, egg, sandwiches, they were the best we have tasted, and the salad that came with them was lovely with a wonderful dressing, thank you the Candlery is in a lovely location and Berwick is such a lovely place interesting...

We found Lowry’s after parking our car by the river but what a great find. We first had coffee. Then after walking the walls, we returned for lunch and later tea and cake. A lovely coffee shop perfectly located with delicious food and friendly staff.

This is one of our favourite morning venues(open from 10 a.m.) for tea and scones. The staff are super-friendly, and we are always made most welcome on the patio with our two dogs. Cheese scones (with extra cheese) are delicious, tea i tasty and strong,...

A lovely place with really helpful staff and tasty food. I has a fantastic cheese, ham and leek quiche and my husband, who is gluten-free, had a toasted sarnie and a lovely lemon drizzle cake. Highly recommended.

Excellent spot to refuel with great selection of cakes, sandwiches, teas and coffees. Staff friendly and good service. Reasonably priced and with nice outside seating.

Two friends and myself went to Lowrys for breakfast. The bacon was freshly cooked with lovely fresh rolls and bread. Nice to get a pot of tea with skimmed milk and the coffee was good too. The staff are always friendly and nothing is too...

Staying close by for a couple of days we spotted this lovely little place on our walk around Berwick on Tweed and decided to stop for morning coffee. We had a super hot coffee and I can honestly say, one of the best scones I...

Had a lovely visit here. We sat outside in the sun as we had our 2 dogs with us so not able to sit inside, but were still made to feel very welcome. Served by a very polite and welcoming member of staff, ordered tea...

After a chilly, windy walk around Berwick town wall & the pier, we were ready for a pit stop. Having seen Lowry's at the beginning of our walk we thought we would try it as the 'open crab sandwich' really appealed to me. It did...

This is our go-to cafe whenever we visit beautiful Berwick. Such a great location. Our 2nd visit this week and this time as we had a dog with us we sat outside in the sun (and the chilly wind!) As always, we were well looked...

Good food great to sit outside when the weather is suitable. Service can be a bit slow but everything is made fresh so worth the wait.

Food was just delicious, the place was busy, but the staff kept on top of everything, and there were no delays.

Found this cafe after parking on a day trip from our base in Alnwick. Delicious open crab sandwich and tuna sandwich served with a varied salad which you so often don't find, delicious home made mayonnaise was so good I had to ask for more!...

Had a wonderful visit to Lowry's. Food was absolutely delicious and staff very attentive and helpful. Covid measures excellent and cannot wait to go back.

Gorgeous moist lemon drizzle cake. I had it twice. Today I also ordered a sandwich to take away. As I sat on the harbour wall and took half the sandwich from the bag, a big gull swooped down and snatched the other half - and...

The only member of staff who seemed hard at work was the lady in the kitchen with short graying hair and a bandage round her wrist. In my opinion she is an absolute asset to this cafe and without her it wouldn’t seem to run!...

We were in the area today on a day trip from our base cottage in Alnwick. We ordered 2 fresh crab sandwiches at a cost of £9.60 each . A total rip off. They were seriously lacking in both taste, quality and substance. Sorry guys...

We went here twice. Firstly for a tea and scone at the end of a walk. The tea was superb- hot, strong and plenty of it. The scones were fresh and tasty. Second occasion we came in to pick up sandwiches at the beginning of...

Excellent service, cake and coffee. Can only rate as 4 out of 5 as we literally only had coffee and cake. That said the welcome was very warm, the table outside was spotless.

Absolutely perfect. Great service, value for money, quality food, fantastic cake and the coffee wasn't too bad either! Super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fabulous. Service fantastic and on the ball. Food just delicious and so fresh. without doult well worth a visit

Found this little gem on our way up from England after our summer break. Great staff, great service and the food was fantastic. from the five rounds of sandwiches with various "very generous" filings and sides, hot and cold drinks all served within a very...

Our first visit was for coffee and cake mid morning - located on the water's edge of the River Tweed - it could be easily missed as not on the main thoroughfare. Convenient free car parking nearby. Great selection of homemade cakes plus an option...

Our third lunch at Lowry's at The Chandlery made us look forward to our fourth. Brisk, polite, efficient, pleasant, personable service, splendid food, coffee you could taste, excellent value all contribute to the attraction of this small but very fine place.

Went for lunch . I chose tuna Mayo sandwiches and Hubby had egg Mayo . They came with side salad and crisps. Every part was a fresh as could possibly be and very tasty. Had very large Pot of tea that was also perfect brewed....

They stop serving food at 3.30 pm. The plates and cutlery were clean and we were offered tap water to drink - which is nice on a hot day if the water is good quality - which it seemed to be. The food was well...

Excellent lunch. The open crab sandwich was exceptional and the tomato and basil soup was delicious. Service was good too.

The best cheese scone I’ve ever eaten 😍lovely hot drinks and bread buns. Very friendly staff and COVID compliance. Excellent

Stopped for breakfast Sunday morning, lovely little place by the water, especially in the sun. The bacon barm was lovely, bacon was tasty and the barm lovely n fresh. We returned later the same afternoon for a late lunch (3.30pm) for a sandwich, we were...

We have visited several times now, the staff are wonderful including the owners & the food is fantastic, Crab sandwiches, homemade cakes & scones, anyone in Berwick would be a fool not to visit .

Stopped for coffee and cake after a walk around the town. Excellent service, sumptuous cakes and very reasonably priced. Had a really nice conversation with the owner about the links with LS Lowry. Can't recommend the place highly enough.

Lovely fresh sandwiches as if made at home, tea was lovely not cheap watery tea bags! Very happy with the service

We were out walking and decided to stop here for hot chocolate ,coffee and cakes. Weather was really nice so we sat outside. The staff were really nice and friendly. Prices were reasonable as well.We were watching people fishing as well as its next to the water. Would return again if back in the area

We had the pleasure of eating here a couple of times on a recent visit to Berwick , the food and the service was first class. My wife had an open fresh crab sandwich and said it was one of the best she'd ever had, I had the coronation chicken sandwich which was also top rate. Chatting the to staff they gave us a leaflet that had a boundary wall walk and a Lowry trail to follow. Being from Lowry's area we had to follow the trail and were delighted that we did.Highly recommended, both the cafe and the walks.

Sat outside and had an excellent lunch; great coffee and cakes to die for. Visited a second time for afternoon tea. Dog friendly outside which is fine if the weather is good not so brilliant in inclement weather as there is no cover.

Next to the free parking. Good service and a very enjoyable coffee and cakes. Close to the town walls.

Spotted the one empty table left, so stopped here for lunch after our walk round the walls. Nice spot, well filled panino for me and gluten free toasted sandwich for my other half, accompanied by crisps and a small salad with a nice dressing.

Super café with huge choice on it's menu. Clean and spacious. The homemade cheese scones were gorgeous with super choice of hot drinks.

Visited on the last day of our holiday and wish we'd done so sooner. Had tomato and basil soup - delicious and very tasty - but the piece de resistance was my crab open sandwich which was awesome and contained a ton of scrumptious crab meat. The staff were lovely and welcoming and operating in a Covid secure environment. Top marks on all counts from us.

Spotted this restaurant on our walk around the walls. It was a pleasant day and the outside tables looked tempting. We were lucky ... it stayed fine over lunch.The coffees, open crab sandwich and panini were all excellent and service was spot-on! A very pleasant location for a light lunch.

just wanted a nice coffee and toasted tea cake after walking the walls to the lighthouse, sat outside in the sun ,friendly staff

We bought takeaway from here and sat on a bench overlooking the river. The sandwiches were delicious. We had to fight off the seagulls! On a hot, busy day, the cafe were implementing covid procedures as effectively as they could.

A pleasant cafe on the river. Serves a selection of hot and cold meals and snacks. The staff were very friendly

We checked out of our hotel and decided to go on Sunday for breakfast. It’s a cosy café on the quayside with indoor and outdoor seating. All the COVID rules were in place and adhered too. The service was friendly and we ordered two bacon and egg rolls and coffee. The food was delicious. So glad we gave this café a try before our drive home.

Interesting to follow the Lowry connection in Berwick if you are a fan of his artwork. Good food and quick service at the cafe.

A much needed coffee so nice I had two! Delicious carrot cake and my partner had coronation chicken sandwich with crisps and side salad. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere

Beautiful sandwiches, gluten free catered for. Spotless premises - including toilets. Lovely range of cakes. Choice of indoor and outdoor seating.

Enjoyed very nice coffees outside in the sunshine at this popular spot and cafe. Good Covid processes in place and friendly staff.

Made a point of visiting as seemed a great location on the front. Sat outside with our dog. Staff great and promptly took our order and brought a bowl of water for our dog.Sandwiches as good as expected and arrived quickly. Considering cov19 all good.

Bad start when the cafe owner was not happy that I parked my vehicle outside the cafe, and made me keep moving forward away from cafe (it’s a public car park) it was rather embarrassing. They wanted it away from the outside tables and chairs, which are not in a good spot - who wants to eat in a car park?. Once inside, coffee’d and fed we were asked how long we’d be staying! How unwelcoming. We were having a catch up with friends, so we left. Won’t be back - food was mediocre.
