The Old Bakehouse in Northumberland

Hidden gem. Great size English breakfast with toast and tea for £7.50. We had the pram with us and it was no problem getting it in and out. Lovely staff. Definitely recommend this cafe.

What a gem of a find. Must be one of the best breakfast we have had for a long time, perfectly cooked, very tasty, good quality, piping hot and the price was under £8 each including a hot drink. Staff were lovely and friendly. Very lucky people.in Morpeth to have a cafe like this.

Fabulous find. Me hubby and our dog sat outside for lunch. Mince and dumplings for me and liver and onions for him off the lunch specials board £7.95 each. A couple of drinks less than £20. The dinners were absolutely delicious and you could tell they were home made. About a 20 min wait but it was busy and we didn’t mind in the least. Water for the dog too.

A fantastic place to visit even on a Sunday . We enjoyed an excellent meal , very friendly and helpful staff . If you’re in Morpeth for the day I would definitely recommend The Old Bakehouse.

I’d googled places to eat before we came to Morpeth and knew this was where we would go. I didn’t realised it would be as lovely as it was though. It was a sunny lunchtime and we sat outside. We ordered the pie specials, one steak and one chicken and mushrooms. They came with veg and mash and I was pleased there wasn’t a fried chip in sight in this cafe. The veg was lovely. Neighbouring tables ordered the mince and dumplings and that was huge! We didn’t have desserts but saw the ones at another table which looked big and were being eaten with relish! The staff here were lovely, great service. Facilities were clean. We would definitely recommend. Worth noting that it is cash only.

Thought we’d give it a try as have walked past before and seen it busy. Cheap and cheerful. Cash only. Coffee is filter coffee and isn’t amazing, but it’s drinkable. Breakfasts are ok, had a full English. Also had some poached eggs which were over cooked. But, it is 7.50 for a full English so set expectations at that level.

The Old Bakehouse is a gem. Extensive menu, friendly and obliging staff. has a very homely feel. Prices are very, very good.

After being recommended the afternoon tea decided to visit the Strawberry lounge and we were not disappointed. The food was of good quality, great price and plenty to choose from. We shared two afternoon teas between 4 and there was still plenty to eat. And added bonus, we were given two complimentary scones as we were leaving. The young waiting on staff were extremely pleasant and attentative. Can highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday lunch, meat is beautifully tender and plentifully and plenty of veg - desserts are lovely - staff very friendly and accommodating- very busy and sometimes have to wait a little for a table but we’ll worth the wait I would say best place in Northumberland to get a Sunday lunch - great value for money £7.95 for Sunday lunch - keep forgetting to get pic of the Sunday lunch as always dive straight in

Really a fantastic place! We were on a visit from Scotland and stopped in for lunch. Service was absolutely fantastic, so friendly and even though it was busy we were served quickly and made very welcome. Food was really good, prices are amazing and cakes are very tasty! A great wee place!

Dropped into this cafe as we have heard good things about it. On the way in there was a board listing food/snacks. Top of the list was ‘beacon butty and tea’. We read no further. Got a seat told 20 minute wait for 2 beacon butties/tea. While we were waiting several people got up and left as they had been waiting a lot longer than 20mins. One guy was leaving as his lunch had been promised in 5mins - 15mins earlier and his parking was almost up. They brought his lunch and rather than being apologetic said you should know that car parks are limited to 3 hours. The guy had to rush his food and leave. We waited 40 mins for our butty. To be fair it was nice (thus 4 stars for this -3 for service) however we had drank our tea 30 mins previously. The bill came which was £1 more than was advertised on the board but to be fair still good value. Apparently only served until 11.30 and we ordered at 12.25 - could have apologised for leaving sign out. Got the impression that the manager/owner(?) would have been happier having a punch up than providing any sort of civil customer service. Any Viz readers will recognise her attitude as similar to that of ‘Mutha’ from “Biffa Beacon” comic strip (those unfamiliar check it out on line). Reviews show history of bad service/attitude: costs nothing to be kind - especially to your customers ….while you have them.

💎⭐️Seek this Morpeth gem out⭐️💎 ⭐️A genuine warm & friendly welcome from the entire team at The Old Bakehouse. Traditional cooking, we enjoyed breakfasts and lunches here. Good, honest food - wish I’d had space for the puddings ! Unsurprisingly they are always busy yet no-one is forgotten, not even the dogs ⭐️

OMG our first visit today to a truly hidden gem. Off the high street in morpeth. You will find. A beautiful tearoom. Excellent menu. All home cooked. And the staff were lovely. After our food. We took a little wonder around a fabulous garden they have clearly. Lovingly created. Can’t wait to go back. Jill Connor ❤️ 7/8/20

This small restaurant kept open outside when people needed it most. There was always a friendly welcome and a lovely cup of coffee and scone. I can only hope for their sake that it was all worthwhile financially, but as far as my friend and I were concerned the visit set us up for the rest of the day - thank you!

Went for lunch on a very wet Thursday . We were greeted by a lovely friendly lady.once we gave our number we were seated.We had food off the specials board , meals came out piping hot , they were delicious !!You are doing a brilliant job you and your team

Only had soup and a sandwich. Home made tomato soup was gorgeous. Unfortunately I ordered without realising it is cash only. The waitress was lovely and told me have my lunch then go to cash point. What a lovely trusting gesture. I will definitely be going back.

We enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch here, seated outside as the sun was out. Lovely roast beef and turkey with roasted and mashed potatoes and veg. All very organised inside and out of the cafe distancing-wise, staff as lovely and helpful as ever and we would thoroughly recommend a visit!

It’s such a breath of fresh air in these unusual times, to find somewhere that still has a warm and friendly welcome, we ordered Sunday lunch which was delivered to the table in no time, piping hot, one of the nicest Sunday lunches I’ve had in a long time.Even managed a desert which was gorgeous.If you find yourself in Morpeth pay these people a visit I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.Will definately be backHighly Recommended

My sister has just collected prepared traditional dinners from The Old Bakehouse, Morpeth, for our elderly mother. The ingredients are fresh and wholesome, as always, and they freeze perfectly. Please think about supporting this little business by ordering takeaway dishes. 01670 510842

Just what the doctor ordered a full English, well cooked and friendly staff, nothing pretentious enough said.

Chose the Bakehouse for lunch with friends and was taken by the service, the choice of dishes and the surroundings. Very olde worlde and quaintly cute. I had a baked potato with corned beef savoury and was impressed by the portion size and taste. Other choices taken by friends included sandwiches and quiche. All served tastefully and well, were tasteful. The Bakehouse does get busy so make sure you get there at a good time. It is a restaurant/cafe that is worth a visit. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

The staff are always friendly . There is a wonderful menu with good home cooked wholesome dishes, Lots of choice and great portions. The desert list in one to be worked through and tsakes me back to my childhood. Well worth a visit, Prices are brilliant.

Nice selection of traditional dishes, very well cooked and served in generous portions. Friendly and cosy too.

Absolutely love this hidden gem in Morpeth. If you want fresh, home cooked food then go to the Old Bakehouse. Each time I go it’s always busy however you never wait long to be seated. I recommend the homemade broth and the Sunday Lunches. The puddings are also to die for! Great staff and comfortable setting.

The Old Bakehouse is well advertised. There are advertising boards as you go through the alley way next to T& G Allen’s. It is straight across the road and through another alley way with signs advertising on the wall.As we walked in it was quite busy and didn’t think we would get a table for 3, however there was more seating to the left. Daily specials were advertised on the wall and an extensive menu on the table. It was a Sunday so there was also Sunday lunches available priced at £5.95.The dinners looked lovely with a separate portion of vegetables.We opted for hot sandwiches and sponge pudding and a cheesecake. The dessert menu was old school favourites.Portions were generous and everything was piping hot. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The place was jam packed by the time we left, regulars seem to frequent the cafe.A lovely place for homemade food. It’s cash only too.

Came in this morning with my elderly gran for breakfast , and what can I say this place is a hidden gem lovely staff who were so welcoming nice clean place with amazingly good prices at a more than fair rate especially in modern times , without doubt one of the nicest full English’s I’ve had will make sure to be back thanks .

Came in this afternoon with my husband for lunch and what a beautiful place this is had the mince and dumplings which was simply lovely very filling and such nice welcoming staff , if your ever in Morpeth and like your home cooked food this is the place to be, I always noticed alot of the customers appear to be regulars which is always a very good sign .

Me & my mam have never been before and we went in today for lunch the food was amazing lovely cafe and the waitress was lovely made a fuss of my baby Harry and service was amazing we loved it and can’t wait to return . Thanks

Absolutely lovely mince and dumplings , so light . Coffee latte very good. Attentive pleasant staff would definitely recommend. Food prices very reasonable , don’t take card but cash point close. A little gem xx

Crockery was chipped, had to ask for cutlery, didn't have any teacakes, don't take cash. Food was very average, welcome and everything else not a patch on the Chantry Tea Rooms!

There are not many of this type of cafe left these days. Tucked away down a small alley the cafe serves good old fashioned quality homecooked food served by wonderful friendly staff. Most specials were no more than 5 pounds which is a bargain. Just beware that they don't take cards which you can forgive them for and don't be offended if you have to wait a short while for a table such is the popularity of the place.

Made a passing visit to The Old Bakehouse, the first time in twenty years. Its a nice place, that's off the beaten track but only a stone's throw away from the high street. The place was crowded when I entered, which was a good sign of its popularity. I had to wait 5 minutes before a table was cleared. Once seated, I ordered the meal of the day, which consisted of pork, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, cabbage, turnip, and mashed potato, which was served with gravy, with my family ordering mince and dumplings, which came with the same assortment of vegetables as mine.

One of the tastiest breakfasts I have enjoyed. Full English consisted of 2 sausages, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, eggs tomatoes and toast. Excellent quality and great value for money. Friendly service, would highly recommend

Remember how good liver and onions taste on a cold winter day (that's if you have a fondness for liver and onions of course)? Well the Old Bakehouse in Morpeth will float your boat - delicious!

This is a charming, unpretentious place, serving good home-cooked food with pride and a smile.

Been here a few years ago and enjoyed it. Called in for breakfast with my son. Couldn’t fault it at all, breakfast was perfect and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Definitely recommend.

I stumbled across this place while walking through Morpeth. It's a bit tucked away but in a nice setting off the main road.

Excellent food and service, staff are fantastic, food amazing all cooked to order and will cater for the picky eaters amongst us 😊

If your ever in the Morpeth area I would really recommend this place its great valve for you money with friendly staff, we will be back that's for sure

Great service and food. The value of the food is so good. Lots of choices. Very friendly staff. Thank you to the amazing Pauline and the chef for pretty much doing us an English breakfast after past the time.

Morpeth is a quaint, rather sleepy Northumbrian market town and eateries are rather thin on the ground. However, a great choice for breakfast or lunch would be the Old Bakehouse ... tucked away off the main thoroughfare. Run by a charming, professional, local team this a lovely relaxed place to relax and enjoy solid café fare and drinks at a reasonable price and served with a smile. Very good indeed.

Stopped for breakfast with the family and it was lovely. The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly. Well worth a visit.

We often visit this cafe for what I think is the best value full English breakfast in the area. Always well cooked, huge portions and great service. Love this place!

We visited here on a recent visit from sunny Milton Keynes...we were warmly welcomed into their quaint tea room...quickly seated and our orders for breakfast placed...got to say.we had the most amazing breakfast! Our breakfast came to us really quickly and was amazing value for money and very well cooked indeed. Probably the best one in Morpeth we reckon..set us up for the entire day it was that plentiful...we can’t wait to return North just to get a taste of that breakfast and some good old kindly Geordie hospitality! We will be back..soonest..with a bit of luck...

Visited here with family & friends,fantastic friendly service with a smile!! Full English breakfast & kids had scrambled eggs,proper home cooked food,would highly recommend a visit,best breakfast I've had in a while!!

Called for a bite - bacon butty and a pot of tea. It was nice but nothing special. Prices were average and cafe clean.

It does not matter how many times you visit this restaurant the food is always excellent freshly cooked to order you may have to wait for a table it is so popular but the food the appears from a tiny kitchen is superb from there all-day breakfast to the specials board and the standard fair the standard never changes. I cannot recommend this little hidden gem to highly

Arrived here after a wander around Morpeth just wanting something quick to eat. Looks very nice from the outside, relatively clean inside as well and the waiting staff were spot on and attentive. The food was very poor however, we had the steak pie and a lasagna. The meat in the pie was nice and soft but devoid of flavour, I've never seen my partner leave any lasagna, even an average frozen one but she left this, it was that poor. Salad consisted of a load of iceberg lettuce, a couple of bits of tomato and a 3 slices of cucumber, it was uninspiring, unappetizing and drab. I dont understand the good reviews for this place, will not be going back

Quite a while since I last visited here & if you take what happens at a lot of other Restaurants either the owners or the Chef changes leaving utter chaos but not here at the Bakehouse, Food, Service at the pleasantness of the staff is just as it was last time, a real gem to visit. Feeling a bit on the peckish side I went for the Mince & Dumplings. Mountains of Home Cooked excellent food nicely presented & Dumplings large, very light in texture & a complete dream accompanied by lashings of beautifully cooked Mince. Definitely not the Aunt Bessie's dismal attempt to make them. Yea OK you might say why he is he ranting on about Mince & Dumplings, hardly a culinary delight but rest assured these ones are just like I remember from my Childhood offerings from my Grandmother who to me was the world's best cook. Yes Mince & gravy but these are definately on the Mince side with just enough gravy to soak your Dumpling in & more gravy can be bought for a very small fee. My wife settled for the Quiche with salad again a very large slice of Quiche all Homemade. No boil in the bag or spot the mince competition here accompanied by a very large pot of tea I could not believe that the charge was only £14.00 for the two of us & both very large portions.

We visited Morpeth for the first time today. As lunchtime approached, we looked for somewhere to eat, and saw the billboard advertising the place. We certainly weren't disappointed, food and service , and great prices, made it a delight. Shall visit again.

Did not let us down and our friends from abroad enjoyed the food. Well made and looked fantastic. The range of food on the menu was extensive and hard to choose.

We were strolling round the shops in Morpeth and almost missed this cafe down the alleyway. Such friendly waitresses and all the food looked delicious and fantastic value for money. There were lots of empty plates and that speaks volumes. We just had tea and toasted teacakes which were very nice. There's a lovely little seating area out front too. Definitely worth popping in.
