The best restaurants in Norham and Islandshires Northumberland North East

The premises are about a mile off the main road. There is a small car park and an agglomeration of sheds, walls and a large tent. It took me some time to work out how to access the cafe as the sign indicating an entrance was well hidden. From a bright winter's day it was a surprise to enter a cafe so dark and dated, albeit with the pleasant sight of an open fire. There were no customers although this was an hour after opening, and no staff in evidence. After waiting some moments I twice tried pressing the bellpush on the counter. Eventually I called out a greeting but there was no response, and it was only after calling out loudly whether anyone was there that a man appeared, told me that the bell was indeed broken and that "she will be there in a minute". After another wait a lady appeared, who took my order. The scone and coffee were good, but the surroundings rather depressing. An art room opposite had its purpose scrawled in amateur fashion across the window, and there were many peremptory notices in evidence, which is always off-putting. I am an enthusiastic crafter, but this did not encourage me to enquire further. Overall the whole experience was a disappointment.

Cherry and fruit scone was very tasty. We didn't really use the cream supplied as it was aerosol cream. After living for most of my adult life in the West Country, this is viewed as sacrilege! 🤣. Latte could have been warmer but was very nice.

Absolutely loved staying here, owners really lovely people and everything totally faultless thank u lis and family 👪

Terrible service. Waited over half an hour for a cake and a plate of soup. Cake arrived after chasing for it and at same time we were promised soup would be with us imminently. It didn’t arrive and we left without it being delivered to our table. Staff unpleasant. Came out of our way to come here. Very disappointing.

Fantastic breakfast, great vlaue with good quality ingredients. Super friendly service. Can't recommend this place highly enough!

Love this place and will return. Very smart, fab food, friendly staff and beautiful location.

Gorgeous brunch/lunch spot! Enjoyed their huge portions and brilliant varied menu. I had the Caesar wrap & fries which was huge and delicious. We took some cakes home for later as we couldn’t manage them after our meal. Thanks guys, we’ll definitely be back!

This is a cafe doing snacks and basic meals. Service was good as was food and served promptly by friendly staff. For aa quick meal while visiting it would be hard to beat.

Have visited this restaurant on a couple of occasions in the past. . I have to say that I was really disappointed on this occasion. I waited to be seated, was ignored so I had to ask for a table. After being given a menu I sat down. I was asked what I wanted to drink and this arrived after 5 minutes. The restaurant was nearly empty and there were 3 young girls waiting on. Not one of them came to take my food order. After being ignored for over 20 minutes I spoke to an employee who was passing my table and asked if someone would take my order. Eventually my order was taken and the food arrived on a wooden board. Why do restaurants use these instead of plates ? I do not think they are hygienic. I have to say that the food was underwhelming. The staff need training in customer service and interpersonal skills.I did wonder if they were on work experience from school because the service was abysmal. I paid by a contactless card and had to ask for a receipt as I was not offered one.

Many thanks to Simon, Sarah, and Gang for a fantastic stay. We arrived a little early after a very long drive. Simon let us into our room and gave us a Happy Anniversary balloon 🎈. Which was such a lovely touch. Room 5 was very clean and tidy, and it has everything you could want. I enjoyed a lovely soak in the bath before dinner, which was fabulous 👌... We had drinks in the bar & a lovely meal. Always a bonus when vegetarians are catered for. 😃 The macaroni cheese was yummy. My hubby had gammon, eggs, and chip which he said it was excellent. Lots of choice on the menu and such a great atmosphere. We slept really well and had a wonderful breakfast before leaving. Lots of choices, cereals, juice toast, and a cooked breakfast. All served piping hot & cooked to perfection. We can't thank you enough for your making us feel so welcome ☺️

Lovely Little farm shop with a small cafe. A very friendly lady served us and the food was delicious. Nice products on sale. We will return

Great location, lovely people, great food Super friendly

Lovely village pub. Good food. Friendly locals and staff. Will continue to visit regularly. Please support this community effort. It is well worthwhile.

Lovely pub. Had Sunday lunch today and the roast beef was delicious. Thick cut beef which melted in your mouth.

We dropped into the Collingwood Arms last week whilst on a long walk with our dog. It was so good we decided to take a more relaxed meal and booked in for their sumptuous Sunday Lunch. We were not disappointed. The usual warm and friendly welcome for us both and for our Labrador Max. We were going to have the two course option but couldn’t resist going the whole hog and checking out the dessert menu too. Starters were Game Terrine and Crayfish, for mains we both opted for the beef dinner with crunchy beef dripping roast potatoes, mashed carrots, cauliflower cheese and perfect Yorkshire pudding. After a short unrushed rest we chose the fruit crumble and a chocolate and Guinness creation for my wife. I cannot recommend the Collingwood highly enough on every level. Service, quality and value. If you are in the Cornhill on Tweed area make sure you pay them a visit.
