The Nook Farm Shop & Cafe in Northumberland

Well worth a stop, lovely cafe with sandwiches snacks and some local food. Family friendly and dog friendly and just all round friendly.

Best breakfast I've had - Didn't need the "Centurion", as my wife gave me her black pudding! Sat outside chatting to the vintage motorcycle club, before driving off in our car (at least it's a Honda).

Lovely little place for a brew and a bite to eat. Food was lovely and dog friendly which is always a bonus for us.

What a gem of a place. Absolutely loved it. Stayed over in campervan as a Campra stop. Friendly and helpful staff. Bought lasagne to cook and it was lovely. Had coffees and breakfast and that was lovely too. Will definitely be back and recommend.

Amazing little cafe in a beautiful location The food was delicious and the staff made you feel welcome from the moment you landed. Highly recommend you all pop in

Simple good food and cakes. Very good coffee and friendly staff. What more do you want?

Beautiful surroundings, excellent food and friendly service.

Excellent service and good quality food, I will be back

Really nice place. Stayed here in my motorhome overnight for £5. Had a lovely breakfast next morning. 😋

Great café and place to visit, highly recommend

Worth. dropping into when you visit the neighbouring Roman fort,Epiacun. Hot meals,tea, cakes and a small farm shop. And a mix of bikers, walkers and Roman history buffs.

Food is delicious (had breakfast and dinner), staff are friendly and efficient, the place is spotless and welcoming. I stayed in my motorhome for the night for a fiver! Thanks a million for not ripping us off like some camp sites! A favourite for bikers and campers. Fabulous views, interesting walks. 10/10

What a lovely hidden gem! The food was delicious - homecooked and comforting.

A great stopping place for anyone, esp bikes and cars. Coffee, tea, food - likes of sausage and egg baps. Not a dressy up place 😁

One night stopover in our van. Lovely clean loos open all night for overnight stays. Fantastic views. Really tasty breakfast. Well definitely return ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice cafe in a lovely setting. A regular and great meeting spot for bikers

I love this place! Great area in a secluded spot just outside of Alston. Great go to place for a ride out on the motorbikes. Toilets onsite are very modern and clean. Coffee and food are great for a pitstop and plenty of free parking. Great for walkers/walking groups.

Great food. Friendly staff. All good!

Big bowl of soup and lovely bread to warm us up on a breezy lunchtime - would definitely recommend.

Great staff,good food and very dog friendly.Will visit whenever I'm up north.

Large breakfast which includes coffee and a breakfast juice and toast. Couldn't fault it.

Had a great night's stopover on are way back from doing the NC500, lovely people and a great breakfast, nice little walk round the old Roman fort. will definitely be back thank you so much 👌

We stayed for the night on our way up north in the camper, what a lovely peaceful location! We had some yummy food and a great night's rest so 5 stars from us 👍

Great place to stop for a bite to eat and drink biker friendly

Great little stop off when passing . Good coffee and food . Good scenary.

Nice meeting place for bikers like myself. Outside tables and loads of parking. Food is lovely and tasty, staff friendly and helpful.

A fabulous cafe with a fine choice of food and drinks. Lovely staff. Large car park that can also be used to stay overnight in your vehicle for a small fee.

Great place to meet up, especially bikers but cars also turn up and the route to get to location is amazing.

Lovely vegetarian breakfast great value very quiet when we were there but staff very helpful and friendly

Great location with fantastic views, amazing range of food and was really impressed with what we had. Staff were really friendly and attentive would recommend

Nice place in a nice scenic location,stopped here on my motorcycle to have a brew and a bite to eat,nice friendly staff,£15 for a breakfast makes its a bit on the expensive side of things.

Food amazing, especially the Cakes & Cappuccino. Great staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Lovely scenery. Average £10-£15 per person. Lots of parking space and disabled friendly. Will definitely go back again.

Amazing food! So fresh! Had the egg and cress sandwich would highly recommend amazing portions, also recommend their chocolate and banana cake. Free parking, wheelchair accessible. Would definitely go again. Staff so friendly and accommodating.

Really like this place. Warm friendly reception and food tastes very good. Back again today 20/06/2024 had the Feta and Chickpea Wrap delicious.

What a great find. Well worth a visit. Excellent food.

Fantastic cafe and the ladies in there are very friendly. Food is really good too. There is also the walk to the Roman Fort from the car park. Definitely recommend *

We have been here twice with dogs stayed once and stopped off on way home today friendly people

A great experience pulling into the car park. The scenery is spectacular, and after a long ride, it is very worthwhile. The service is quick and efficient, and the staff are helpful and friendly. A good selection of food is available, so most people will be happy. Well worth the stop 😋

Great stop off for any biker. Great food and coffee in stunning location with a roman fort on site to visit

Staff friendly and excellent service

Great place to meet up for bikers and car enthusiasts alike Friendly welcome and tasty food

Lovely food, very friendly service

Very nice food and very friendly staff. Lovely place to eat :)

Nice little cafe with parking for the Roman Fort.

A good cup of coffee, a cheese scone and slice of cake after a short walk to the nearby Roman fort. There’s also a shop area with a small but good quality collection of foodstuffs.

My first visit but not the last I’m sure! Lovely coffee and delicious fruit scone with cream and jam today - nice welcome and friendly service. We enjoyed a relaxed, unhurried time. Thank you.

All staff pleasant food excellent good quality 🏍 welcome

Cracking spot. Stopped over with the van a couple of times now. Spotlessly clea. Great food. Great staff

Lovely breakfast with locally sourced quality items black pudding especially tasty. Very friendly staff and stunning views across the countryside

Had a fantastic 2 night stay in our campervans in the car park for £5 per night. Lovely warm welcome, brilliant breakfast, dog friendly and toilets available 24/7 on request. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be visiting again.

First visit here will probably return when next walking in the area excellent scones good earl grey tea. Pleasant staff with a can do attitude.

Fabulous food and drinks. Staff always friendly and helpful. Lots of parking

Great food and choice of coffee's, and great service

Fancied a run out over Hartside due to the very pleasant weather for New Year’s Eve. Obviously the cafe at the summit hasn’t been open for quite a while and it’s good to have a stop along the way. What a tremendous little cafe at Nook Farm. We called in and had the Centurion breakfast which was very tasty. It was reasonably busy and the staff were very friendly. I can imagine in the summer it will be pretty manic on a sunny weekend with the two wheelers. Well worth a visit.

So happy to discover The Nook Coffee Shop and especially their extensive Gluten Free menu. The welcome was very friendly and the food delicious. Thank you do much!!

Called for breakfast on a cold Monday morning. Two lovely ladies serving home cooked quality food. Some of the best black pudding I've had and proper butcher's sausages/bacon. Only a handful of people in but lots of picnic tables outside for slightly warmer times. Beautiful views even on a wet November morning. Some lovely looking homemade cakes in cabinet and small selection of food stuffs/crafts for sale.

This is my 4th visit here and Im always pleased to recommend it tasty food, and cake, what more is there,

Always a lovely welcome. Staff will do anything they can to help. Great place!

You cannot fail to be impressed with this essential stop over!...Always a warm friendly welcome backed by good food and service in quaint country surroundings...perfectly chilled welcome!!

Lovely little cafe, clean, friendly staff, very nice home made scones. Well worth a visit even if you're not going to the Roman fort up the hill or the miniature railway station nearby, but those are worth visiting too!

Nice place. Great sausage roll. Bikers welcome. Well worth a visit. Fantastic cakes and scones with jam & cream. Nice walk up to the Roman fort remains from their car park.

Have been eating here for a number of years, which goes to show how much we like the place, staff, food and experience - need I say more. New menu has just been introduced and what we tasted has proved that it's all good. Great place for meeting up with friends and/or bikers, walkers and we mustn't forget the Roman fort for a little bit of history.

Stopped for a coffee after a ride out. Very nice place with plenty of space for parking and clean toliet facilities. Food looked very nice and will definitely be sampling the menu on the next visit.

Lovely little stopover in my campervan for a night, very welcoming friendly staff, good food, great cakes, beautiful countryside and a Roman Fort what more could you want. ❤️

All fresh produce lovely breakfast worth a visit

Beautiful well kept and very helpful staff.

U.a. Bikertreff, Kaffeestop. Nettes Personal, großer Parkplatz.

Really nice little café, with especially tasty coffee. Friendly and super fast service with tasty local ingredients.

The countryside surrounding the cafe is beautiful. We stopped for a sandwich & a cuppa. Couldn't resist the fruit scones - very tasty. The staff were friendly. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely perfect. Food was fresh tasty and filling. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Stayed overnight in the Camper for £5 and couldn't resist a breakfast next morning. Again the food was outstanding and the staff are so friendly. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Great place to stop for some food and a brew. Although, it loses 1 star for me on the food as it was the single worst black pudding I have ever had. Lumps of fat the size of marbles. May suit some people, however this was just not for me. Other than that, I will return again if ever in the area.

Approved Night Park up £5. Next to remains of a Roman Fort.

Lovely little find. Friendly staff. Little shop inside where we got some gifts.

Love this place! Such a lovely setting, so peaceful. The food and the staff are both fantastic. If we are heading anywhere near Alston on our bike/scooter, we always pop in. Definitely worth a visit.

More about the social , food is OK but not great

I love coming here on my bike and socialising and meeting people, friendly staff even when busy :). Great menu and great service x

Loved our time at nook farm shop and cafe. Its set in the beautiful South Tyne Valley with the steam railway just below and the roman Fort just above. Lots to see and do nearby. You can call in for a bite to eat or drink and if you have a motorhome or camper van you can even stay overnight.

Food very good and staff very friendly great place to stop

Great place food spot on. Great service 👏

Fantastic little cafe, with plenty of outside seating to enjoy the countryside. Great place for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. Popular with bikers on their way to (or from) Hartside and Alston.

Fish finger platter was disappointing.

Wonderful fsrm shop and cafe but more so the service and friendliness impeccable. Used as a motorhome stopover and they were so helpful. Would recommend. Good walks from here too.

Stopped for a brew and a bite to eat. Food really really tasty and a good brew Enjoyed the experience.

Great little cafe on the outskirts of Alston also a great meeting place for us bikers

Great place, busy even on an overcast day. Good food great coffee

Always stop here for lovely coffee & bakery on our Alston trip.

Excellent quality food, drink and fresh local produce. Great, friendly staff, always well looked after at one of the best Dale's cafe restaurants I've visited.

Authentieke, leuke plek langs de weg. Vriendelijk personeel en lekker eten!

What a great destination when traveling in Weardale, especially when it's a bit windy or wet. Warm drinks, hot food, an inviting atmosphere plus magnificent views.

The staff at this wonderful farm café went above and beyond the call of duty in August 2022 providing lots of long distance cyclists with delicious food and drink all through the night. Thank you

Enjoyed a very hearty breakfast all locally. Sourced, very tasty! Thank you, Elaine, and staff.

Been here a few times now and the staff are very friendly

Friendly homely cafe next to Roman fort. Interesting recipe and familiar favourites.

Amazing breakfast in a picturesque location

Nice little cafe. Clean. Good service. Good value.

We visited yesterday as we was holidaying in the area and I spotted this place on Google and thought its definitely worth the trip. First impressions was just as we'd expected a lovely farm style cafe in the middle of the country side surrounded by amazing views, luckily the weather was holding out so we could sit out and enjoy the picturesque surroundings. We ordered and only waited around 15-20 minutes for breakfast to arrive at the table, I went for the bigger breakfast at around £15 as you got 2 of each items a coffee and juice also toast, I thought it was a bit over priced but you don't get to eat breakfast in them surrounding everyday and the food is probably quality off local farms, unfortunately it was the food that let it down the bacon was so hard and over cooked, the eggs came out fried although I'd asked for poached, 2 tiny sosages and everything was just greasy, the toast beans and mushroom was ok but that's about it, luckily I'm not a fussy eater and didn't want to wait for it to be redone so ate it anyway but it was just a massive let down, especially at the price I paid I was expecting quality and it was probably the worst cooked breakfast I've ever had, maybe it was an off day but that's my honest review, the service was great and staff friendly.

Centurion breakfast will set you up for a day's riding. 😋

Called in for a quick drink and a bacon 🥓 sandwich on a ride out. Was getting busy with a few bikes already there. Nice bacon bap and a coffee. The sandwich was nice. However, coffee was a bit on the cool side. Served quickly, but I can appreciate it, will get busy later on. Staff friendly and welcoming. Has the cafe and a small van on the side for orders.

Lovely cappuccino, cakes, mushrooms on toast cooked properly, friendly service- glorious view outside on a sunny day

Very nice.. been a few times now...nice food ,plenty of parking. Great biking roads to/from here with plenty of scenery.. Thankyou. Revisited recently seemed like a price increase (I could be wrong) but still nice food.
