The Stable Yard in Northumberland

Fabulous food, friendly service and gardening stuff to buy, what a brilliant place!

Highly recommend a visit here, food is fabulous and the cakes are delicious. Very friendly staff.. Carpark is small so go early or you'll be parking along the side of the road. Check before you go as they do not open all week.

The food here is awesome as others have commented. Fairly expensive but it is quality. Lovely setting and we were lucky the sun was shining so we were able to eat outside on the picnic benches. Would absolutely recommend 👍😋

Absolutely fantastic. Great food, fantastic value for money and the 3 girls were a credit. We got cakes to go as the sandwiches were so filling and they were also outstanding later in the day. Brilliant little gem

Great little place on the way into Craster, well worth stopping at.

We stopped here for lunch after a long coast walk. Lovely serving staff, lovely sandwiches (hope you like cheese!) The outdoor seating area was more than plenty, it was lovely weather which helped. Toilets and parking available although we didn't use either. Cake selection looked great!

This is a great place to eat and shop when visiting Craster or the area; take care not to miss it! We enjoyed hot drinks, a sausage roll (though I did expect it to come warm and I should have thought to ask) and a panini. There are some lovely cards and gifts inside, plants outside and seating in both. Dog-friendly. Enjoy!

We love coming to the Stable Yard every time we’re on holiday and the cakes and coffee were, as always, fabulous. Just let down a bit by some sloppy service by one of the staff who couldn’t really be bothered to clear the table, despite being asked twice.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Stable Yard during our trip in Northumberland (from the Newscastle ferry to Scotland). Great food, nice garden and dog-friendly. We will come back.

Popped in for lunch after a great walk to the castle and back. We haven’t been for three years, and are just visiting the area on holiday. Even better than I remembered. Amazing sausage and apple roll and the freshest most wonderful raspberry and white chocolate cake ever. Absolutely first class, plus joy of joys: teapots for those of us who love a cuppa. I believe the baker is called Kate. She is an outstanding baker and deserves some sort of medal for her baking as far as I’m concerned. Lovely staff, pretty shop and beautiful plants for sale too. Highly recommended. Indoor and outdoor seating and a small car park.

Beautiful food,fast as they can friendly service

The sandwiches had first-class fillings and are great value for money. The homemade cakes are yummy 😋 The quality is great. We sat outside, which was quaint. Overall a lovely experience

Absolutely perfect. The best place we ate in in three weeks away. Food was cooked well, served with a good helping of coleslaw not a TSP just so you can say it's there, flavoursome crisps. The cakes were also delicious. Every time we visit Crasyer this is where we go, forget the overcrowded smokey pub! We enjoyed sitting under the veranda and just being there. Missed the nice plant selection tho! Nice to eat out and not feel ripped off either, we lived it. Keep up the good work, don't change a thing.

Excellent local produce and homemade lunch. Great indoor and outdoor seating, with dogs allowed in both. Panini’s are delicious and come with homemade coleslaw and crisps. Tasty homemade soup, along with a scone or roll. Cakes are THE BEST I have tasted here. Service is quick and helpful. Overall brilliant and great value.

We asked the girl to warm up the sausage roll and served it warm but she didn't and it came cold. The bacon in the bacon sandwich was over cooked so my wife left it. The girls were to lazy to bring the coffee before the food, like they normally do. The owner, who is excellent and always nice, was having a coffee with a friend so was not to blame for this A complete waste of £15

Four stars as the outside area where we sat needed some T.L.C. otherwise a good place to stop.

A great café that does breakfast and lunch! Outside and indoor seating for any day! Great staff, service and food. Major recommendiation

Food was really good. The cakes were especially outstanding and this is a great hidden gem with great coffee. They do take out as well

Perfect crab sandwich Log burner perfect on a wet day A sanctuary and lovely gifts Great choice of cakes

Brilliant food, superb sandwiches and delicious cakes. Fabulous service, always worth a visit. This place is a jewel in the crown of Craster.

Lovely, dog friendly courtyard with delicious scones from friendly staff.

Went to The Stable Yard for coffee in the morning and were greeted by a lovely dog (not sure if the owner’s?). Had a couple coffees and scones. All very nice, very cozy cafe! Will definitely come back

I get so used to food being disappointing that I almost don’t notice anymore. So when I get something absolutely delicious I feel it should be highlighted. Stopped here for lunch with friends today. Ordered a humble bacon, Brie and caramelised onion panini, that came with crisps and coleslaw. It was probably the best panini that I have ever eaten. Loads of creamy melted Brie, bacon that delivered its own punch and sweet caramelised onions. Absolutely delicious. The place itself is cosy, friendly and welcoming and the staff are very welcoming too. Thanks for a great lunch.

What a lovely find on a cold wet day. A warm welcome, lovely food and a very reasonable price. Dogs welcome too.

The stable yard is fabulouse everyone loved it and the food is delicious I would recommend the panini they were amazing and they also sell plants.

Excellent food in lovely, relaxed setting. We had soup, sausage rolls, pannini & cakes and enjoyed them all.

We stopped for lunch with our dogs on our walk from Embleton & back via Dunstanburgh Castle. Great selection of items to choose from, tasty & well presented,

Lovely little coffee/tea stop with great selection of homemade cakes. Tucked away so easy to miss. Seating inside and out. Lovely decor in modern grey tones and rustic feel.

Service with a smile. Lovely mug of tea. Got nearly 3 mugs of tea out of a tea for one. Lovely gift shop Cakes and food looked deliciously tempting

A really welcoming cafe with delicious cakes, light bites and more substantial meals all homemade. Highly recommend the Apple, Walnut and Cinnamon cake, delicious.

Lovely setting, friendly staff and great sandwiches, cake and coffee. Crab sandwiches were the special of the day and they were delicious!

Lovely coffee shop, really nice coffee and cakes, service is great

Delicious and great value. Perfect treat after a coastal walk with friends

Came here by chance after cafe in Craster closed. Fab food, best panini I’ve ever had and great cakes. This will be my cafe of choice now as a frequent visitor to Craster, knocks spots off the one in the village.

. . . freshly made food to order; superb homemade cakes, all delivered by friendly, professional, young staff. A lovely break, including a browse and purchases from the little shop; highly recommended.

Delicious food, well made coffees and amazing atmosphere.

A pleasant environment, good service, and food.

The special board, was craster crab sandwich, crisps coleslaw, was outstanding!.

One of the finest cafés in Northumberland. This hidden gem is wonderful. The food and drink quality is excellent, and the service superb. If you catch a sunny day, the outside area is a real sun trap, although it is lovely inside too.

Having had a disappointing lunch elsewhere, we popped in for coffee and cake. Delicious cakes, good coffee, relaxing surroundings and friendly young staff. Perfect!

Dropped in by chance for a coffee and a cake. Enjoyed the experience so much that we dropped in for a second time when returning. Fitted a lovely visit to Craster between the two. Tea and coffee great and the home baked cakes irresistible.

Lovely food in a lovely peaceful setting with friendly staff. A great find, would definitely recommend

Really nice cosy cafe on a cold day, warming fire in the corner We had soup and a roll Hot and spicy, absolutely delicious with a beautiful crusty roll, loved it

Once again lovely food, plenty of it, speedy service and fabulous cakes. A sunny courtyard to sit in, a pleasant gift shop to browse, plants for sale, friendly efficient staff. A little gem. Am so fed up of eating out being an expensive disappointment lately that this feels even more of a find. Keep up the good work and don't change a thing! You're all ace!

Fantastic place for lunch which we head to every time we’re in the area. Paninis are excellent as are the sausage rolls & sandwiches which are all freshly made. There’s always a good selection of cakes too, so we highly recommend a visit.

Really cute little place. Friendly, and somebody there definitely enjoys making really tasty cakes!

I had a delicious cake and a good coffee in this bright, cheerful, pretty little cafe . The outdoor seating area is particularly pleasant. Service is cheery and efficient and prices are reasonable. A good place to stop off en route to or from the coast.

My fiancée and I stumbled upon The Stable Yard on our way to Craster, and we're so happy that we did! The paninis and coffee were delicious and the location is wonderful, especially when sitting outside on the picnic benches on a lovely sunny day!

Great coffee, fabulous scones. Lovely!

Great coffee and delicious cake with friendly service. Selection of lovely cards and gifts too. Highly recommended.

We paused for a coffee. One word: wow! Very high quality pastry's! Highly recommended!

Always fab! Sandwiches, soups and cakes first class. Thanks Kate! 😋

Excellent coffee, scones and cakes etc.

Very nice cafe. Stopped by at the end of the day for refreshment. Coffee was very good. Cake was good and thankfully not heavy. Limited car parking for customers only.

Nice warm fire on the go We had soup and cake Soup was excellent very spicy which suited me Food was great but a bit expensive

Small cafe - lovely cake and coffee.

Visited with friends for the first time today food was really good lovely toasted panini bursting with fillings accompanied by a great coffee, was a real treat

We dropped into this cafe for tea and cake and we can't fault it. Good service, great cakes, and bliss, decent tea. It's small, maybe 5 or six tables inside, necessary given the weather in March, but more outside for the summer. Recommended

About a mile outside of Craster this lovely cafe has a shop with local plants and produce. Dog friendly inside and out. On a nice day it's great to sit outside in the sheltered courtyard. Coffee and scones a delight.

What a lovely find. Home cooked paninis and delicious cakes. Prices reasonable for quality and quantity. Attractive courtyard and small interior. Courtyard very sheltered so we sat outside. Great that dogs are welcome. Service was excellent with two very pleasant waitresses. We will be back

Popped in at around 10:30am for coffee and cake with our children and dog. Wow the cakes here are so good! All homemade and delicious. Highly recommend. The sausage rolls looked epic too. Loved how beautifully presented everything was and the log burner in the corner. Very quick service and reasonable prices (just over £20 for 4 drinks and 5 cakes/scones).

Outstanding … super friendly and accommodating … food excellent. The menu is simple but the sandwich, cake and coffee were all excellent. Oh, and the coleslaw was crunchy, tasty. All in all, spot on!

Great home made sausage roll and cake. Friendly staff and kindly filled my water bottle

Great service top coffee nice food nice spot 10/10

I’ve been a couple of times in the last year - delicious cake, and a lovely outside area to sit.

Visited The Stable Yard on the last day of our holiday. I had received a gift voucher as a present. The cafe and garden area were charming and very pleasant. The food and drinks were delicious, we thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. The staff were friendly and efficient. Hope to return when we holiday in Northumberland next year.

Lovely little place to visit, limited parking level access for cafe and toilets. Nice coffee cakes and a nice vibe very peaceful.

Little gem, great coffee and food and very helpful team

What an absolute gem! My partner and I popped in yesterday after a rather stressful morning. The lovely staff and customers with 2 young pups cheered us up instantly! The cakes and savoury delights were so tasty and beautifully presented. The gifts and homeware were of excellent quality and variety which led to an unexpected shopping spree! Unfortunately there were no plants for sale due to supply issues. If you want to go because you want plants only, best ring first. We have often driven past and said to each other we must go in next time we stay in Craster and finally we did. We will definitely make a detour even if we are not staying simply to enjoy all the Stable Yard has to offer. THANK YOU for a lovely welcoming experience.

Best coffee around, especially for that first one of the day. Lovely surroundings, friendly team and holiday gift shop as well. Perfect, thanks.

Excellent cakes and generous sandwiches, would recommend highly if you are stopping off for a quick lunch or coffee break.

Lovely little gem of a cafe. Blink and you might miss it as you gaze at the old Craster Towers archway. Always come here when I'm up but will have to come again this week as they were out of my favourite cheese scones!!

Amazing cakes as always.. thanks

Lovely place with friendly staff and a large selection of cakes. Cakes and coffee both very good. Not many tables but gave a nice atmosphere as surrounded by plants and trees.

Called for lunch today. What a gorgeous place. The food was lovely & the service was fantastic. Will be calling here again in the next few days before our holiday ends. A lovely little gift shop too.

Delicious sandwiches, friendly service, lovely setting

Lovely coffee and cake. All cakes are baked on the premises and you can tell... they taste fab. There is also a decent selection of plants to browse and select from. The courtyard setting makes for a lovely stop. Once winter comes, the woodburning stove inside will be sure to keep the chill off.

Fantastic place for a light lunch, the homemade sausage rolls are awesome, the sandwiches are fresh and such good value, and where else can you get a can of diet coke for 79p!! Staff are courteous and efficient a defo 10/10

Lovelly cup of tea and cakes off beaten track but worth a stop. Oops forgot handy stop for plants

A warm welcome from friendly staff; tea and panini in a secret garden! Pretty surroundings; relaxing and delicious time out. A peaceful escape to which I will return.

We fell upon this tea garden by accident and are so pleased we did. What a treasure of a find it is. We had paninis which were fresh and delicious with home made coleslaw and crisps and couldn’t resist returning for a sandwich and cake later in our holiday. It’s wonderful to find so much deliciousness in one place! The pretty stable yard is a real sheltered sun trap and on a cold day we found it warmed our cheeks in more ways than one. Everyone who visits Craster should make a stop here! In fact, if we lived nearer we’d be regular visitors. We loved it. In fact, we might have to call in on the way home!

Lunch, cake and coffee all fab. Nice sheltered outdoor table. Good service

Lovely little cafe. Had an amazing sausage roll and lovely slice of Victoria sponge.

Soup, sandwich and cheese scone absolutely faultless. Thank you for a warm welcome on a dreary day. We will definitely return and recommend.

Amazing cake and coffee. Both great value. Lovely setting, peaceful. Cute little shop as part of the café. Would recommend this to anyone visiting nearby!

4 brilliant homemade cakes (ginger and date esp good), great Pumphreys coffee, lovely quiet setting and good value.

An absolute joy to visit. All so charming. The food is so fresh and tasty. Superb value. Worthy of 5 stars.

We travel and cycle to many tea rooms/ cafes and this is our number one tea room in the UK. Firstly the location by Craster and Dunstanburgh castle is perfection. Then a well deserved stop for Kate's amazing food is just rewards. Her food is fresh,tasty and just delicious. kate is an exceptional baker and her cakes are mouthwatering. You can't get better than this heavenly tea room.

Such a charming place. Get the smoked salmon sandwich (very generous on the salmon 😍) and one of Kate's delicious homemade cakes.

Stumbled across this delightful place on long coastal walk... within five minutes of saying what we need now is a cup of good tea and a fine piece of cake did we find this extraordinary establishment hidden in the woods.... I think the tea fairies must have been listening!! Spend the time to go and find it... you will not be disappointed!

Came here for lunch after hearing lots of good things! We were not disappointed, great selection, great food and dog friendly. The cakes all looked amazing so had to take a slice away as couldn’t fit anything else in after lunch! Will definitely be back!

We were staying in a cottage nearby, whose owner recommended the Stable Yard.What a pleasant surprise. Really good cakes, and sausage rolls. A wood burning stove in the corner. Pottery from Norway in use in the cafe, and for sale.A good selection of gifts, including produce from the excellent Chain Bridge honey farm. To top it off, a small plant nursery with David Austin roses, herbaceous and bedding plants, compost pots, and to my partner’s delight, sheds!It’s tucked away, so you need to pay attention to find it.

We came across this fabulous cafe as it took dogs and another cafe owner signposted it to us. Wow what a find! It is a perfect place, wonderful food, cosy fire, and just a lovely calm space to be! We will back!

Called in with our 2 dogs who stretched out in front of the log burner, toasty and warm. We enjoyed generously filled rolls, smoked salmon and cream cheese and a Brie rocket and caramelised onion chutney, fresh scones and cream all washed down with a huge pot of tea. Great service and value for money thank you.

We luckily had a look on trip advisor after a visit to Newton by the sea and found The Stable Yard, so glad we came across it! What a little hidden gem. Off the beaten track, serving gorgeous coffee (my other half is fussy with coffee & was a big fan). We had a sandwich and a mug of homemade soup each, both lovely and fresh. Due to posts on here we also wanted to sample the sausage roll - yum, really good.We had our little girl with us and they had a Highchair for us to use.Friendly, lovely place.

As a ‘professional’ cyclist ( I only ride for coffee and cake) I can honestly say this is one of the best cafes in Northumberland. Don’t queue in Craster, get away from the hustle to this peaceful haven near Craster Tower. Well worth the 2 min drive or short walk to sample excellent quality, friendly service and great value for money.

Stopped here for a bite with my wife late one morning after a couple of hours walking from Craster to Low Newton and back. Scones and sausage rolls and tea that we had were delicious. The cheese scones are the best i have ever eaten ! Lovely hostess. We will be back when we are next up in beautiful Northumberland.

After a walk around Craster we found this place very close to Craster Tower, having previously read about it on Facebook. The soup and roll were fresh and tasty. Scrumptious scones/cake to follow. It was difficult to know which cake to choose as there was such a lovely selection. Good to see them covered, too. Tea arrived in a pot. A delightful place to stop off for a snack/light meal. Customer service was super without being obtrusive. There are also gifts and cards on sale as well as the garden centre outside. We'll be back and highly recommend.

Dog, friendly, good coffee, good cake, and easily reached on foot. What’s not to like? And the dog liked the water!

Soup and sausage roll. Excellent!
