The best restaurants serving British food in Norham and Islandshires Northumberland North East

We had a toastie, crab sandwich and a coffee and it was freshly made with fresh quality ingredients and absolutely delicious! Watching them cater patiently for all requests (no butter, extra pickle etc) is admirable and at peak times, as long as you are prepared to wait a short time, you won’t be disappointed.

Epic sausage rolls with amazing coffee

An absolute gem on the Holy Island! We stopped here to grab a sandwich, some cake, and a drink to take with us as we explored the island. The customer service was excellent, the owner was an absolute delight and super helpful. The food is delicious, and a really good selection too! And on top of all that they sell maps and books of the island as well, it really is a must visit and a one stop shop for everything you need on your island adventures!

I don't know what I was expecting from this pub/hotel. My expecting were wode open as for my liking the pricing was on the lower end that I would pay to stay somewhere. However this place was outstanding value for money my room was spacious with a great large shower and many modern features. The room was exceptionally clean and well presented. The bed was do soft and made it so hard forme to get up or what to get up. I had food in the pub as thought to myself that maybe I had just got lucky with the room however once again the small cosy pub with it log fire was great. The food was brilliant well presented and tasted amazing. I honestly would definitely recommend and go back to the blue bell all in all it was a 10 out of 10 for me.

A lovely little gem, warm atmosphere and warm home cooked food. Lovely service, extremely quick but not felt rushed. There were 5 of us and we ordered a variety of dishes from starters mains and puddings. Big portions for a good price and served hot.

Really friendly staff .... helpful.... the best cakes I have had for ages!! Close to Etal Castle. Not to be missed on a visit. Great range of baked goods.

First time visiting Marshall’s with my husband and 6 year old. It was quite full when we arrived however we managed to get a table within 10minutes of waiting and got served almost straight away. The waitress was incredibly helpful with the menu regarding my son’s peanut allergy and although it was busy she genuinely seemed happy to help us. The food was INCREDIBLE. My husband and I had the breakfast option 2&3 and everything was cooked fresh and beautifully. It was hot to the table and no faults at all. My son had the pancakes and absolutely loved those too! Overall, it was a great experience food and service wise, it is however quite loud as it is a small cafe. If you have anyone with sensory issues I recommend bringing earmuffs.

Simply the best - great friendly staff fantastic selection of snacks - cakes - freshly made sandwiches - newspapers and magazines and general grocery and household necessities Every one is greeted with a smile and nothing is too much bother In my humble opinion simply the best

Called in for lunch not realising we needed to book but there was 1 table for 2 available thank goodness. It was very busy and the staff were working very hard but were still friendly. We had Mince and dumplings with mash and it was delicious. It was a lovely change to have something old fashioned and homely. We'll be back to try the breakfasts next time.

Atmosphere is lovely and service was good. However, food took a long time even for a busy Sunday. When a couple , who had been seated and served 10 minutes after us,got their meal of fish &chips ,we asked about ours. Amazingly, it arrived straight away but husband bisque was cold and my fish finger sandwich just hot enough. Even, when warmed up not hot and by then we just wanted to eat. The place is very welcoming and being local we pop in for a coffee regularly, but won't be eating again any time soon.

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 ☺️

What an unwelcoming, miserable place. We stopped en route to Berwick but it was so grim looking we had a change of heart before even getting out the car and drove off. Later that day on the way home we were desperate for a cup of tea and having read the reviews which said it's not as bad as it looks, we decided to give the place a try. We arrived at 3.35pm having checked the website and Google for opening times. Both said open until 5pm. We walked into the shop, not a soul to be seen but voices from the back could be heard. We coughed , said hello a couple of times but no one came out. We walked through to the next room adjacent to the door into the tearoom. All in darkness. But I spotted a lady through the window of the door into the kitchen and she spotted me but didn't move. She was too busy talking to her colleague. She looked at me 3 times before finally coming out and when I asked if we could get a cup of tea she said they'd stopped serving at 3.30pm. It was 3.40 at this point. All we wanted was a cuppa. Appalling service, not a smile or an apology in sight. And no information online with café opening times. Businesses like this don't deserve to be in business.

Had an excellent Sunday lunch here yesterday. The choice was excellent, beautifully cooked beef and accompaniments. My son had fish which he also said was very tasty. Lovely staff, nothing too much trouble, even had a treat for the dog. Will definitely go back.

This is a really great pub, community owned, friendly, good food Tuesday to Saturday evenings. It is not closed, but currently being run by volunteers who would really appreciate your visiting. There are two very confiables letting rooms, good home cooked food and friendly welcome.

We ate at the Lindisfarne Inn last night. We received a warm, friendly welcome. The Inn is really cosy inside. We both had game terrine to start which was nicely presented and a generous portion. Our mains were venison and bacon cassoulet and Lindisfarne chicken and we had an a portion of onion rings extra. Cappuccinos to finish, no room for dessert! The service was lovely. Attentive, timely and friendly. The food was delicious. We both really loved the game terrine. I’m glad we weren’t put off by some of the negative reviews as we would have missed out on a great evening.
