The best restaurants serving British food in Shilbottle Northumberland North East

We were very excited to try this bakery and the coffee and cake we ordered were lovely, and the portions were very generous! However we were left a little disappointed by the service. We felt we were slightly inconveniencing the staff by enquiring for a table (there was a free table), service at the table took quite a while, then once finished at the table, rather than taking payment at the table, we were asked to take the receipt to the till, which meant rejoining the general walk in queue we had originally joined to get the table. After a fairly long wait, we had been overcharged with an item we had not ordered (which was immediately removed without too much embarrassment). Overall the food was lovely and the bakery is clearly very popular, but we feel with the best intentions, our review would be to assess the process of service a little to ease / remove in turn the bottleneck at the front desk, staff stress, order errors, availability of tables.

Out for a Sunday drive. Decided to stop for Sunday lunch. Just had the sharers platter. Plenty of meats (3 kinds),vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Everything cooked to perfection. Will definitely visit again.

Wish we took more photos of our visit today, I’ve been a fan of the running fox for 5+ years and always take the opportunity to visit when in Northumberland trying out each of their cafes. Today was hands down just an exceptional experience as always, the wholesome family / north east feeling entering the place and service just does it every time. The lady who seen to us just made us feel at home and treated our dog just the same as any guest. 10/10 for service and food, value for money everytime.

We stopped in for something to eat after visiting family and were very disappointed with the quality of the meal. My partner ordered the Trio of Longfram Sausages, and he said none of it was freshly cooked but had been reheated, and there was nothing sweet or crispy about the onions. I tried them, and they were like chewy pieces of string with no flavour whatsoever. My mum had the scampi and chips, but I'm pretty sure triple cooked doesn't mean cooking them on three separate days. My Gammon Steak was okay, but again, the chips that came with it were not freshly cooked. I will not be recommending this place to anybody.
