The Whitehouse Cafe & Grill in Northumberland

i took my granddaughter hayden for a burger and chips here at the whitehouse i had a lovely bread sandwich and beans but hayden cried and didnt eat his tomato and pickle toastie. the place was not very clean i found shaving foam under the table and it smelt like moudly cheese. but a nice experinece and an average birthday party at least hayden got his vbucks.

We called in for hot chocolate and tea, the two ladies were very friendly and made room for the 4 of us and our two springer spaniels. The homemade cheesecake was amazing. They gave us advice on the local area and places to visit. We will be back x

Seeing a good selection of classic British dishes in the window, we popped in for lunch. What a delightful and friendly couple running this tiny but clean cafe well attended by locals. And how helpful they were about allergies. Everything is cooked to order and we chose scampi and chips with brown granary bread and pots of tea. Delicious and excellent value for money. Recommended.

Great place for a nice cuppa or a coffee if you are passing another great cafe in this little town definitely recommend

What a great find. Lovely home cooking with a really friendly service. Proper home made chips - not the frozen kind - are so much nicer. If you’re in the area you should pop in.

I visited while in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea to see my family, and I love that this little cafe is dog friendly and very welcoming. I had a vanilla late and the owners made a little snowman on top - the small details that really make a place feel homely! The food was really nice and good value. So many cafes order in their food, serve from frozen or serve pretty tasteless and expensive little sandwiches, but it’s clear that the Whitehouse cooks from scratch, it feels a bit like visiting your favourite aunties house (but with a better coffee selection!) fresh, homemade English food and most of it locally sourced. They have a lot of choice which is good when you all like different things and as the owners are approachable I think if you had special requests they’d be able to accommodate. Definitely one to try next time you are in Newbiggin!

Called in for the first time . Staff friendly and helpful. Larger portions couldn’t eat it all . Liked the fact they topped the teapot up .

Great staff, great food, great value for money. Friendly residents who gave up their table for my family of five and two dogs. Food was fresh and and delicious. Would recommend to all.

Great food, huge portions and cheap as chips. Friendly service, dogs welcome and kickin' home made ginger beer. What more could you ask for?

We regularly have lunch here at the White House cafe and are never disappointed the food is always delicious and fresh the daily specials are excellent value for money some of my favourite meals are the fish and chips the steak and chips the full English breakfast the lasagna and salad and chips chicken curry with rice and chips the gammon is tender and delicious and my wife loves the liver and bacon with fresh vegetables or chips she also loves the homemade steak and leek pudding I’m also a fan of the bacon butties there is always a great selection of fresh made to order sandwiches like crab or tuna ham cheese and so on the latest creations are wraps with various hot food fillings delicious you will certainly not disappointed at the quality value and friendliness of Vivian and Kevin so why not call in and have a coffee while you decide if you’re going to have enough room for a homemade trifle pudding or cake after your meal.

This little cafe is lovely! Lots of specials up in the window! Food was amazing & very cheap! We got a pork dinner (which had lots of meat, lots of mashed potato & mixed veg) for £4.50 and an apple crumble & custard for £1.50 a portion! The meat was beautifully cooked, ample helpings & the apple crumble was the best I've tasted! We are not back here till next year now (holidaying!) And we will definitely be back! Amazing food at amazing value with a friendly service!

Found this little gem of a cafe even though we've been going to newbiggin for over 4years and always meant to try loved it that much we went 3 times during our stay and even took food away to have later Lovely home cooked food made to order and vivienne and kevin were extremely friendly nothing too much trouble and very welcoming will definitely be back next year

We visited the family run cafe and were welcomed by Vivienne. We sat outside as the weather was beautiful. Nothing was enough trouble from the couple. My daughter opted for fish and chips. I had a ham sandwiche and chips. Everything was freshly fried and the fish was cooked to perfection. My sandwiche was made with fresh home cooked ham hock. Lots of regulars there who were also friendly. Absolute loved it and an absolute find. My only regret is that I didn't get a fresh trifle but with the portion size of the mains I couldn't but next time is a definite. See you soon next we are visiting.

Breakfast was disgusting,dry rock hard bacon,over done sausage,hard yolk crispy egg,beans watery,only decent thing was the cup of tea,cost £10.10,the owners or staff which ever it may be needs to learn how to cook

Had a fantastic lunch here today with Jeff and Brenda, what a scoff and very reasonably priced, also had 4 takeaway trifles and they were lovely . Lovely friendly service as well , we sat outside in the sun and it was dog friendly , a bonus

Me, my sister and my boyfriend go here every now and again for a treat and we are never disappointed! Viv and Kev are lovely people, so friendly and will do anything for you. The food is fresh and homemade, none of the frozen crap you get at other places, the homemade chips are lovely and the old school cake and custard is to die for and a favourite of ours. The food is good value for money too with most of the daily specials starting at £4!

Me and my wife are regular visitors to the White House cafe Newbiggin. The food is always delicious and fresh and very filling, the daily specials are excellent value for money only £4.00 for the main lunch and a homemade pudding usually rice or fruit crumble and custard, I can also recommend the hot beef chicken or pork and stuffing Yorkshire pudding wraps and the bacon sandwiches. They also have a mean baked potatoe with a host of lovely fillings. They now deliver and have introduced lamb as a choice of the Sunday meat choice for the Sunday dinners also delicious and very good value for money. Try it you will not be disappointed.

A little cafe with a huge Sunday lunch,homemade Yorkshire puddings and fresh veg and homemade gravy, definitely worth a visit,Sunday lunch was 4.95 and they do take away .

Fabulous meal and friendly service at this wonderful cafe and grill menus are good and a two couse meal all for £4 you must give this little gem a try you won't be disappointed service was great.

I was in Newbiggin a few days ago and came across the whitehouse café, the welcome was warm,the café had a friendly atmosphere and the food was delicious,all home cooked and well worth it,we had the beef Yorkshire pudding wrap.mince and dumplings,chocolate sponge and custard,mars bar cake,3 capri suns,2 coffees and a coke and all for just over £14, FANTASTIC

Disfrutando un buen capuccino y la mejor panecillo quebradiza en un ambiente muy soleado y agradable. Un gran desayuno se sirve durante todo el día y sólo ahora el "caldo" es delicioso y alentadora a la hora del almuerzo. No creo que este restaurante y café está cerrado, porque no es así! Pruébenlo ustedes mismos!

Great café. Lovely home cooked food. Very friendly service. Home from home. On main street easy parking.

Decidimos visitar 'El Whitehouse Cafe' en Newbiggen-by-the-Sea. Era sólo una cafetería normal pero era muy bonito y limpio y toda la comida casera, que cumplía todos los requisitos para mi marido y pequeñas piernas mayor.

Having read about this cafe on TripAdvisor I thought we would go there for breakfast on the last morning of our holiday before driving home. Unfortunately, the cafe has closed down and looks as though it has been for quite some time.

La buena comida que se sirve con una sonrisa sincera hace que las calles en el establecimiento por delante de otras paradas de café de Newbiggin. Anteriormente, los viajeros pueden elegir entre servicio grosero o un gobierno apoyó monstruosidad lleno de despreocupado personal. Ahora hay un instante de relax donde el café y comidas ligeras puede ser verdaderamente disfrutamos. Este negocio realmente merece al éxito!

El personal es muy agradable y hablador, un lugar muy agradable para tomar una sabrosa pannini. La mía estaba lleno con abundante y estaba caliente y sabroso, justo lo que necesitaba en noviembre muy fría. Para una pequeña cafetería independiente, el café era muy bueno!

El Whitehouse Cafe y Grill está en una buena ubicación, en el centro, en la carretera principal, fácil de encontrar (busque la casa blanca)

Literalmente viven justo al otro lado de la calle del Whitehouse Café & Grill. Soy un visitante diaria al café de marcas (Mark = propietario), con su personal, Charlotte, Debbie y Paige, todos los cuales son muy amables y profesionales.

Estuvimos de paso en un viaje en bicicleta y necesitábamos una comida que nuestra energía. Nos recibió Mark, el propietario y chef, y sus colaboradores sonrientes.

El otro viaje Seguido las recomendaciones de TripAdvisor y todos estamos de acuerdo en que era la mejor comida que habíamos comido en nuestras vacaciones en la costa de Northumberland. La ciudad no tiene mucho cuando se llega por primera vez así que decidimos almorzar antes de explorar la ciudad histórica de pesca. El propietario me hizo una de sus recomendaciones, que era chorizo y pasta de pollo y fue magnífico. El precio de la comida era fantástica relación calidad-precio y si volvemos a esta parte del Reino Unido sin duda volveremos. Nos hubiera gustado haber estado en el comienzo de nuestras vacaciones.

Metimos en aquí para el desayuno antes de ir a casa a Escocia tras nuestras vacaciones. Muy agradable, ambiente relajado, disfrutamos de un poco de maña con todos nosotros, incluidos los niños. Los cinco de nosotros tuvimos desayunos completos inglés con un ser quisquilloso y pedir no setas o de tomate que no era un problema, la comida cocinada a su gusto y era fresco y muy sabroso. Lo recomiendo!

My son and I went in yesterday and service was brilliant. Prices were really cheap and food was fresh and lovely. They talked to my son which is brilliant as often he's ignored by service staff when we go places. We went back today to try their ice cream and again everything was perfect. Dylan recommends the ice cream! Thanks for making us feel very welcome. Love cat and Dylan X

The staff are really friendly and helpful, the prices are very good and the food very tasty! Will definitely be returning. Can highly recommend a visit.

I was passing through after an early start and treated myself to a bacon sandwich and a takeaway cuppa. Without question the best bacon sarnie ever and a very pleasant owner. Worth a detour if you're going up the Spine road.

My friend visited me in Chester this week and brought me some scrummy shortbread biscuits from The Whitehouse Café & Grill. These are homemade and fantastic.

visited a few days ago and found the owner very friendly. found the prices reasonable and portions good. we both had bacon Panini's and shortcake for afters and both were tasty, nicely cooked and presented...plus a lovely cup of tea.would def return thanks

Visited on Thursday 17th October, myself, wife, mother-in-law, son and son's friend.I had a bacon toastie as they had run out of panini's. We also had a chicken wrap, bacon cheeseburger, nachos with cheese. All were very good. Bacon was crispy as requested. Burgers were tasty.We then had various ice-creams with chocolate brownie, caramel shortbread and carrot cake.4 cans of soft drink and a pit of tea.All for around £35, superb value.The owner (didn't catch his name) was most welcoming and fairly talkative which made the visit even more enjoyable.Will definitely return to this cafe when we come back to Sandy Bay holiday park. An absolute gem.

Location: The Whitehouse (Cafe), Newbiggin by the Sea. Date: 19/09/13My in-depth review. Title: Perfection. - Choices of food: I had the cheese burger with bacon, followed by a Caramel Shortcake, with an Americano coffee. - Food Presentation: 9.8 / 10.0. The caramel shortcake could of had a bit of glamour to it. But maybe that's just my arty side being picky! Lol- Initial Taste: 10.0 / 10.0. - Texture: 10.0 / 10.0.- Portion: 9.0 / 10.0.- After taste: 10.0 / 10.0.Additional: As far as I am aware, it was a homemade burger. It could of been a bit thicker, but none the less was an amazing burger. ---- Staff: 10.0 / 10.0. Top Marks ;)The manager 'Mark' was very friendly, professional and had such a passion for his business. I was very impressed by him and would defiantly recommend engaging in conversation, if he doesn't first. - Additional: There is a very limited space, something like 16 seats. But I'd say the makes it more the better for exclusivity. Also keeping in mind, this is just a small cafe, not a resturant. This was also my first time here, yet I was made to feel like a regular customer. As well as noticing that Mark knew the names of an elderly couple that came in. ---- Cost: 10.0 / 10.0. Side note: The caramel shortbread was huge for it's small cost of only £1. - Hygiene: 10.0 / 10.0. I came in close to closing time, so there had been a full day of service, yet the place was kept very clean, surfaces were wiped down constantly and there were no plates / cups left on the tables. - Condiments: 10.0 / 10.0. Was asked after placing my order if I would like any sauces on my order. Was given a full description of the choices. ----- Overall: 10.0 / 10.0-- Final Conclusion: I loved this place. Will defiantly be going again and would 100% recommend it to anyone. Also, the boss told me about his planned upcoming food events and they sound amazing! Can't wait to go along for those. I can't believe that I haven't heard of this place before! I strongly think that Mark (Boss) could open several cafe's like this one, and be very successful. Although I kinda hope he doesn't, as he is perfect where he is, haha. Thanks,Gary.

Had a fantastic time at the cafe the owner is very accommodating as I am a vegetarian so he made a special dish for me off the menu! Very impressed staff were wonderful also like the fact he is going to start themed nights will now become a regular customer :)

Visited for the first time today and was very impressed great prices and great food staff really friendly too.

exceptional value and very friendly staff. Food very good and home made ice cream lush. Nice homemade cakes and seating outside for the good weather

Had a full English a few weeks ago, food was very nice and friendly service. Very good cafe and cheap prices too. Needs air con on hot days though.

We called for lunch today, whilst passing through New Biggin. I wasn't sure what to expect, but what we got was some very tasty food. Mum and I had paninis with salad and a creamy, crunchy home made coleslaw. My husband and daughter had nachos, with a freshly made piquant salsa, followed by home made fish cakes with salad, and a chicken breast in a bun, served with a lovely spicy freshly prepared chilli jam. After consuming some really special home made ice cream (different flavours) to finish, we were very impressed and well satisfied. We actually thought we had been undercharged, and queried the bill when it was presented. No mistake, just extremely good value. I would highly recommend this cafe and hope to return again when in the area.

Had a bacon sandwich which he cooked quickly as I requested when I was in a hurry. He didn't have much conversation with me while I sat in the cafe and waited for my sandwich. Lots of fat on the bacon was a little off putting, I had to remove it myself with a knife at the table. Prices were ok and I'll go again if I'm passing while hungry.

Had a great full english breakfast brilliant value .the cafe had a good atmosphere with the owner cracking plenty of jokes.will definitely be back

nice but small,food was fine average pricing, coffee very good friendly atmosphere , we will return in the future.

I've been to this cafe a number of times and since changing hands and its new name " White House cafe and grill" I must say its fab!! Food is excellent and great value for money. I've been with friends and my children and I must say its great. My children loved there spag Bol and icecream and the prices are unbelievable... I will be returning and I suggest you try it and if your like me , you will be hooked!! To the new owners well done and good luck :-)

We really loved the food and friendly service, its names now the Whotehouse grill and Cafe and we had a superb bacon roll with a lovely latte coffee great value for money on a Sunday morning. Will go back

This business opened a few months ago on the premises formally operating as Dinkys.The owner and her helpers are really friendly and supply great coffee, fabulous breakfasts (with proper ingredients from a butcher rather than a cash and carry!) and home made cakes. We've been there a few times and they go out of their way to give me a great gluten-free breakfast and real Italian-style americano coffee (with expresso and hot water served separately).Not expensive and does what it sets out to do very well so 5 stars.
