The Village Tearoom Alnmouth in Northumberland

Called in for coffee and cake. Very disappointed. Cafe was very dirty. Service was extremely slow. Some people left as the wait was too long even though cafe was not busy. Far too many dogs. Food OK but disappointing.

Dog friendly and Human friendly response at this wonderful tea room.Cakes outstanding and the gentleman who served is so kind. It's always our snack stop when we have a break from the shore.

We arrived without a reservation during a very busy lunch service. Fortunately for us, we were quickly seated with our two Labrador dogs on the last free table. Lovely lunch of fresh crab sandwiches and probably the very best coffee and walnut cake I’ve ever eaten.

Fast service, ordered 2 scones, and drinks, drinks were nice and hot, scones came out nice and warm with jam and cream. Served by Beth and Jake, both well mannered, polite, overall lovely visit. Asked for their names and had a lovely conversation with them both, very welcoming.

Lovely little tea rooms, polite and friendly staff, great food! It's always special to drink tea from China cups. Give it a visit when in Alnmouth!

We love the tea rooms in Alnmouth and were struck by the warm welcome and perfect service from the three young people on our visit at the weekend. The food was fresh and delicious and we left feeling very happy and content. The staff are a credit to the owner.

Lovely wee find on Alnmouth Main Street. Fresh and tasty scones and cakes, good cafitiere coffee and tea. Obviously very popular, I think we were lucky to get a seat! Friendly staff, who also took time for a show and tell of a”stottie”. I’m sure we will visit again and try one!

Visited this little cafe after a hearty walk with my Dog along Alnmouth beach . The gentleman at the entrance was warm and inviting and was happy for me to sit inside if wanted even though I had my sandy dog with me. I however decided to sit outside as felt as a dog owner this to be more respectful . I ordered a Latte and a Bacon Stottie ( big bap) The latte was as smooth and velvety as I've ever had , whilst the Bacon Stottie was full to the brim with quality bacon and all in all simply divine. I will happily visit this charming and quality cafe again next time I'm in the area 😊

A group of 4 friends and a collie enjoyed the warm friendly atmosphere and delicious food here. Stotties, quiche, pie and cakes - all scrumptious with an appreciated treat for the dog. A welcoming place on a cold day in beautiful Northumberland. Thank you we enjoyed it very much and wish you a prosperous 2024! Will be back.

This was a lovely spot for drinks and food and hosted by lovely people. Will definitely be visiting again. Would highly recommend a visit here.

Absolutely top draw. Service and quality. Stopped for coffee but had corned beef pie with peas n gravy, lush! Dog friendly with WiFi

What an excellent find, great food and most excellent service. Eight of us managed to squeeze into the parlour out back next to the traditional range. All eight enjoyed a range of lunchtime fare. Home made and hit the spot.

Very nice and friendly staff. I had tuna sandwiches with salad and crisps. The bread was really tasty. My family also enjoyed their lunch.

We hade been here before to just drinks and found the place welcoming and dog friendly. So we called back for lunch and the staff were really brilliant. The food was well presented and good.

Lovely quaint tearooms, Beth and the staff were very friendly, great to find it was also dogs were welcome too. The Scotties went down a treat, along with a scone. So nice we called back in for a hot chocolate 😁

A lovely find in Alnmouth, when most of the other establishments are on the pricey side. Friendly staff, wholesome food & reasonably priced.

Great tea room, friendly staff. Lovely bacon & egg stottie at breakfast in the morning although had I have visited later in the day I’d have definitely tried the ‘old school’ corned beef pie. My only slightly negative thought was 10:30 was a little late opening time for breakfast at the weekend but worth the wait.

A warm welcome from all the staff, we enjoyed our salads, big wedges of stottie and thick slices of delicious ham. Even better huge slice of warmed chocolate cake with cream. All the staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Will be back. Thankyou. X

A lovely little tearoom located in a beautiful village. With plenty of seating inside and out (and catering for those with dogs) the staff were welcoming and friendly. Our meals were reasonably priced and quick to arrive. Not only that but they tasted fantastic and were worth every penny. If you're visiting Alnmouth and need a pit-stop, do yourself a favour and try here.

We have been in Alnmouth for 10 days and visited the village tearooms everyday,meals were excellent sandwiches lovely cream teas and cakes are the best .Staff extremely pleasant and helpful.Looking forward to next year!!

There are so many reviews singing the praises of this tea room. Well our experience was anything but. We called in at lunch time and the place was busy. We sat in the alleyway which is an overflow of the inside. Not exactly comfy. We were hungry and had just arrived in Alnmouth else I think we would have found somewhere else to go. We ordered two bacon sandwiches. £5.50 each, a pot of tea and a fizzy water. When the bacon sandwiches came we were stunned!!! Two thin slices of the cheapest brown bread with a couple of slices of medioca bacon in it. The bread wasn't even buttered but there was plenty of funny tasting fat soaking into the bread. I'm surprised they even bothered to slice it into two!! No crisps, not even a lettuce leaf! What a ripoff. I had a few bites and gave the rest to my husband who ate it as he was hungry. I'm sorry I don't think I have posted a bad review in all the years I've been writing in TripAdvisor but this experience was terrible. When I tried to go to the toilet I was told it was out of order and I wasn't even pointed to the public toilets as I see another reviewer was.

Very inviting tea room with tables outside, both under cover and on the footpath. Always a friendly welcome. Visited on the first day of our holiday. The toasted tea cakes were the biggest we’d ever seen and there were some delicious cakes on display. Bit worried by the sign on the toilet door stating that it was out of order. Plumbing problem we presumed. We wondered how they were allowed to stay open with no toilets but were directed to the (free) public toilets down the hill. Popped back a week later before we left the beautiful village for home. Toilets were still out of order and we were told the floor had collapsed. Thank goodness for the local loos or presumably they would’ve had to close in the height of summer. Very friendly and chatty staff and the young lad working there was absolutely lovely. Hope they’ve fixed the floor before we return, which we will.

Idyllic village. Beautiful traditional tearooms with a warm welcome. Dog friendly too! Lemon cake and warm scones highly recommended!

The food was excellent - quiche lorraine, and cheese and pepper quiche, with a very tasty coleslaw, salad and crisps to accompany. We thoroughly enjoyed it, but then the disappointment… Too many wonderful home-made cakes to choose from! Coffee and walnut for me, lemon drizzle for my wife. Couldn’t have asked for better cake! We’d definitely return if we get the chance!

This little tearoom was amazing, we called in for lunch on our way home from Scotland, the hot beef stottie is highly recommended (get the horse raddish) our children got a cheese sandwich and a ham and cheese sandwich, after that we all got cake, Coffee and chocolate cake were delicious and so was the Lemon drizzle cake, the service was quick and extremely friendly even though they were busy, they are even dog friendly. If we are up in the area again we will be sure to call in again.

A visit of mixed opinions alas. My partner enjoyed the egg and bacon stottie which was a large portion. I had a crab sandwich which was ok, no white meat. I should have asked on ordering. Nothing wrong with it: my expectations were not met. Popular venue and well located.

Sat at a little table outside at lunchtime, they were very busy but the waitress said that there might be a little wait so we were happy to do so. Lovely cream tea and Victoria sponge. All homemade, the scone was warm. Good cup of...

We stopped by after a morning walk into Alnmouth. Coffee and bacon sandwiches were excellent, very highly recommended! Service was attentive, quick and cheerful.

A fantastic tearooms to stop for refreshments. We had enjoyed a morning walk along the beach and were looking for something more than a takeaway coffee or cake. We hadn't been to the tearooms before but will definitely be returning when we next holiday in...

This was the first place we stopped at for something to eat when we arrived in the North East, and this place was a little gem. We parked up and walked around the picturesque little village of Alnmouth and decided to take an early lunch...

Lovely little tea room. Amazing hot beef scottie followed by chocolate cake. Lovely lady who owns it ❤️

Popped in for a snack whilst my partner was away for the afternoon. I chose a freshly made scone with jam & cream. It was beautifully served warm with the jam and cream on the side. It was delicious. I had a coffee too which...

This establishment appears to be family run and all the helpers were very friendly and helpful. The food is really nice and the portions were very generous. I would certainly recommend this establishment who make lovely big crab sandwiches

Fab visit to this little tearoom. Friendly prompt service, nice food & would recommend to anyone who is visiting the area.

We found this lovely wee tea room after a walk along the beach. The food was lovely and there was no problem catering for my Coeliac husband. The Tea Room is dog friendly with treats and water. An excellent place to visit

Gorgeous cosy tea room with lovely food and drinks. Would highly recommend if you’re in Alnmouth its great

What a lovely tea room! After a lovely but rainy walk on the beach, we found the village tea room and were welcomed by a lovely lady who could not have been more accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for our party of 9....

We were shown to a rather cramped table for 2 right at the back of the cafe : charming and cosy . Service fir soup and a sandwich took 20 mins and staff seemed subdued . The advertised hours were till 4 pm . We...

Lovely cosy tea room with an excellent menu . Luckily they did have the crab when we visited . The staff we really friendly and service was just right . A Must visit place in Alnmouth

We found this place by accident looking for a crab sandwich lunch and were definitely not disappointed. The constant stream of customers, even at 2.30pm is testament to the quality of the food and friendly service we certainly experienced. Would happily recommend it.

Delightful tea room. Had a coffee and came back for lunch. Owner and staff attentive and professional. Value for money. Had bacon and lentil soup with a delicious cheese scone. Highly recommend. Noted dog friendly to well behaved pooches. We met two.

Popped in for a quick lunch and we were not disappointed. Really lovey, quaint teashop, looks to be family run. We ordered sandwiches which were just perfect for what we wanted. Main point to note is the friendliness of the staff, we were served by...

Came today with my boyfriend on a day trip to alnmouth and had a lovely time. My boyfriend had the crab sandwich and said it was really tasty, and I had the egg mayonnaise sandwich which was tasty and filling. We had a lovely pot...

A warm, cosy tea room, lovely food & amazing cakes! The staff were very friendly, chatted with us about this historic village. Very accommodating to our group of 8. Short walk from the beach, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Amazingly friendly staff and equally tasty food in a family run, cosy tea room. Even surprised us with a cake for my girlfriends birthday!

Friendly small café with lovely menu and friendly staff. Highly recommend the corned beef pie. Reasonably priced and close to the beach

This is a lovely tea room, great service, lovely food and a great ambiance. If you want something a little different just ask (hence the title)😀 Thank you for the chat. We will be back😀X. Justine and Paul

This is everything you’d want from a tea-room and more! Very friendly, very quaint and lovely food & service. We had a great lunch - sandwiches, cream tea & chocolate cake - WOW, to quote our kids (who both chose this) ‘BEST’ chocolate cake ever!!...

We had a lovely lunch here. Very fresh and was obviously home made. I would highly recommend. Even the dog agrees……………..

We called in here for lunch today It is dog friendly and we were made most welcome I had tomato and basil soup which was delicious . This was followed by tuna sandwich just right. My husband had a beef stottie which was enormous Thoroughly...

Visited after a long walk. Coffee and coffee walnut cake. Lovely tearoom and great staff. What a find

The tea rooms were very busy at the time of our visit and we noticed that there was a sign stating more seating through the back. As we walked through the inner doorway through to the back room a woman (who we now know was...

What a fabulous place for lunch, a snack, a drink and cake. Brilliant quality, excellent choice, good homemade food, good service. It's that good they can be busy at peak times and it is dog friendly too.

We hadn't been able to get to the tearooms earlier in the week, but we glad we made it. I hadn't had the chance to get lunch so was quite hungry when we arrived at 4 PM (half an hour before closing time). I was...

Very good cafe. Staff most welcoming. Food well presented and truly delicious home made food. Highly recommendable.

We think we may have been unlucky with our server as they forgot everything …. First they gave away the table they cleared for us to someone else, I actually had to ask them to move out of our seats as our baby needed feeding...

Popped in for a coffee and a cake. Friendly, relaxed service from someone who appeared to enjoy his job. A genuine, friendly man. Perfect coffee and cream tea. A mahoosive, delicious toasted teacake( no mixed spice) served with plenty of butter. Dog friendly and highly...

Busy little cafe in the middle of Alnmouth. Really friendly service. Lovely sandwiches and scones. Soup smelled great. Vintage China cups were a nice touch. Would recommend.

We stopped here for much needed refreshments when walking the Northumberland Coastal Path on a very hot day. Although it doesn’t open till 10.30 there is outdoor seating where you can wait. Service was very prompt and very friendly and the food was great. I...

Lovely little tea room with very friendly and helpful staff. They were very accommodating to the fact we had a pushchair and required a highchair. They were also very friendly to my little girl. I have allergies and there were some good gluten free options....

Stopped here for a spot of lunch. We opted for the ham and peas pudding stottie and cheese scone. Having never had peas pudding i thought it was lovely and would not hesitate to have it again. The cheese scone was nice and soft and...

We called in for cake and tea mid afternoon. The staff were very friendly and the service was good. The portions were very generous.

Visited for a late lunch during the Alnmouth Arts Festival weekend. Although staff very busy couldn't have been more pleasant or helpful. Delicious crab sandwiches, husband loved the corned beef pie from the specials menu and lovely coffees in big mugs. Dog was made welcome...

This is a delightful tea room. Lovely staff went to a lot of trouble to make sure everyone was looked after. A traditional tea room and a pleasure to visit.

Lovely tearooms. We managed to get the last table on a busy morning. Very friendly and welcoming owner. Beautiful fresh scones and excellent coffee. Thank you

This tearoom is an excellent stopgap for tourists visiting Alnmouth. It's in the heart of the village; with car parking nearby for disabled visitors. It caters for visitors that may have gluten free requirements. It is dog friendly; which is ideal if you are combining...

Visited Alnmouth on Saturday 4th June and popped into this lovely little tearoom, it was quite busy so had to wait a little to get a table but it was well worth the wait, it was well decorated and spotless inside. We had some crab...

Excellent choice of basic cheap simple food. Their soup and stottie is very tasty. You can eat inside and, weather permitting, outside. Tables are a little cramped but it is also dog-friendly.

Lovely little tea room just up from the beach. Staff were really friendly. I had cheese savoury sandwich and it was delicious. My two friends had the crab and reported their food was also gorgeous. Lovely place for a spot of lunch.

Popped in this morning with our family. Lovely tea room with friendly staff and a great menu choice. We opted for a selection of hot and cold sandwiches, quiche and corned beef pie and all were absolutely excellent. We managed to find room to try...

Corn beef pie was very tasty and cake was very moist. Beautiful food. Lovely and friendly staff. Cute little place. Perfect for stopping for a small bite.

My wife and I visited the tea room on a cold March afternoon and received a very warm welcome. Nice soup and scone and hot drinks.

Yes there is a door bell which is strange - and for customers inside a bit annoying - but it is like walking into a front room of a house, and not a conventional tea shop. Staff great, and value for money and yet understand...

Ring the bell outside & hang around until someone finally comes to greet you? Weird! After waiting a few minutes a guy appeared, we said can we just have takeaway drinks? His reply:- “we are very busy, so no” Superb response from someone in the...

The Tea Room in Alnmouth is very much what it sounds like – a slight throwback to the niceties and courtesies of yesteryear, but none the worse for that. The door to the premises opens into what seems almost like the compact living room of...

We came across this by accident and what a little gem it is! Tea in proper China cups. I had a crab sandwich which was delicious and husband had a toastie both with salad and crisps. The chocolate cake was a dream too. Our dog...

Found an amazing gem on our visit to Alnmouth. The Village tea rooms were very welcoming & dog friendly….we would recommend the crab sandwiches & cakes…10 out of 10 🦀🦀

Really disappointed. Visited today to try the crab sandwich which gets good reviews. Given a table and menu waited for the waitress to take our order. She didn’t. The cafe was busy and people were queuing. The waitress was taking food orders from people in...

I had an English breakfast here today which was cooked perfectly and made with good quality ingredients. The service was fantastic as well. I accidentally knocked over my cup of tea and the server cleaned up the mess and got me another pot of tea,...

Popped in for lunch after a walk on the beach with my husband & 18 month old. It was busy but we luckily timed it right and got a table. 2x crab sandwiches & a child's cheese toasty was ordered along with 2 coffees. I...

They were full on a rainy Saturday today so we waited for a table and the excellent staff kept us updated as to how long until we would get a table. Once seated great service despite all the tables being full, lovely crab sandwiches and...

Called for a tea cake & coffee but waited ages to get served. Waitress very abrupt. Tea cake was nice but unfortunately not enough jam. Tea very nice. Good luck to the new owners

As ever, a great place to visit. We try to come for a crab sandwich whenever we we are In Northumberland and have never been disappointed. The cakes are good too.

Thursday 26 August 2021, after walking along the beach my husband and I were in need of refreshments. My husband and I found ‘The Village Tearoom’, along the main street and entered within this small but pretty establishment done out in a pink, white and...

Great Crab Sandwiches!! Beautifully presentation in a scallop shell on a pretty plate, side salad, crisps and a twist of lemon ( sadly ...Can't upload the photos I took) Helpful and Welcoming staff. Prompt service Thank You!

Very nice find,lovely staff,friendly and clean place,,small tearoom but plenty of choice,the quiche is beautiful (ham/leek)....very busy..will come back

Visited today, the first time since before Covid lockdowns! It was lovely, with a great crab sandwich. I also bought a chocolate cake to takeaway which my husband loved.

We were going to have takeaway drinks but opted to sit outside and have a hot choc which was very nice. Staff were friendly - would return.

It was late in the afternoon, and I wanted to enquire if the cafe was still serving food. I was wearing a mask, maintained social distance and stayed by the door. Although I enquired, the response I received shocked me. 'You can't just walk in...

Unfortunately never got to try the food or even get a table . Rang the bell a young lady came out we asked if there was a table for two available very bluntly replied no . She said there was nobody sitting inside 🤷‍♀️ and...

Called in today & managed to grab an outside table, the young lady serving was lovely, she cleared the table for us & returned promptly to thoroughly clean it & presented us with a menu, we only had a hot drink each which was absolutely...

Myself and my wife just visited the tea rooms, what a lovely little place that seems to be taking all the right measures in the fight against covid, nice and clean including the toilets and the food and drinks were as equally delightful, unfortunately one of the young lady’s that work there must be having a bad day and came across a little bit rude, we all have bad days so I’m hoping the next time we visit she’s in a better mood like the rest of her colleagues were today.

Very well organised re social distancing with screens between tables.Anti bac available both inside and outside.Show to a table and given laminated menus..As it was before midday we had bacon stotties and traybake. Both were delicious and washed down by lovely fruit tea. As soon...

Really friendly and welcoming team. Homely, tasty and fresh food, good portions size. Very reasonable. We would recommend.

We usually manage a visit during each of our trips to Northumberland. Today was our first visit since Covid Regulations were brought in. The place is super-compliant with restricted entrance, sanitisers, and Perspex screens to separate tables. The crab sandwich is as good as ever.

Please read the title correctly!! Yes- CRAB 🦀 sandwich.... my ‘bubble’ as I’m now calling her and I came here a couple of years back and she still raves about her sandwich!!! Happily they’re still great!! My tuna one wasn’t half bad either- with about...

This is a cute little tea room we used to shelter from the rain. Despite the small size, full Covid measures are in place with clear screens between the tables. We had the Tuscan tomato soup with a stottie on the side. The Tuscan tomato...

We got a warm welcome and a beautiful lunch in cosy but very Covid safe rooms. The menu was very tempting and plenty of locally sourced produce. We opted for homemade corned beef & onion pie with mushy peas and both agreed it was amazing!...

Lovely experience from the moment you ring the bell! Warm welcoming staff for us and our 4 legged friends! Gorgeous cake,sandwiches and coffee all in covid secure environment a must!! X

Great care taken over presentation. Crab sandwiches were delicious large pot of perfect coffee served with cream. Overall amazing even with the power cut. Great service.
