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

Been a few times when going into Berwick. Fantastic breakfast at a great price. Very nice staff - service with a smile. Plenty of parking.

Definitely worth the very short detour. Lovely friendly cozy cafe. Good coffee - clean toilet.

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.

Meal and services very good and local gin lemonade well I had 3 what can I say great place to spend time waiting for tide

It was on our bucket list to visit The Holy Island, and as usual when we go anywhere new a cup of coffee is top of the list to do first. My wife had picked out Pilgrims. When we arrived on the Island we couldn’t believe how busy it was, the car park was full. It was a Tuesday and we got to Pilgrim’s at 11.45 and started to queue outside. I went in and hung around for a seat, my wife queuing. We finally got coffee around 12.15. Pilgrims had Oat milk, but coffee doesn’t taste as good when served in paper cups. .

We stayed in wooler for a week and called in twice for a pub meal, very friendly and helpful staff, both me and my partner enjoyed the meals, especially the fish and chips which were very tasty, and my partner had the casserole, as I said we enjoyed it so much we went twice well worth it.

Fabulous pub with rooms, who fitted us in with very short notice for a very nice room and later dinner. Very smart ensuite shower room, well equipped with shower gel, cap and large mirror. Super king bed -very comfortable- with excellent lighting for reading plus sensor lights if you get up during the night. Plugs have USB slots by bed and near shelf. Coffee, tea etc on tray with decent sized cups and glasses. Wardrobe and lots of drawers. Breakfast good, choice of cereals with large jug of milk on table. Juice and fruit too. Special mention of sausages, much enjoyed. Friendly and helpful staff and owners. All in all, a great place !

Called into this wonderful establishment for coffee .so friendly nothing too much trouble.albeit the owners were unable to be there.due to unforseen circumstances., the young man went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. A must for locals and visitors alike.

We visited lavender tearooms yesterday after our train ride. It looked extremely welcoming and had the option to sit outside or inside. My daughter isn’t a fan of outdoor dining so we decided to sit inside. We chose a drink each and a panini. Whilst ordering at the counter. I spotted the selection of chocolates and decided to also get some of those and went for the flavours we usually enjoy. We wasn’t waiting long for our food. My daughter opted for the ham and cheese panini which she said she wasn’t a fan of the ham used and grease from the panini was dripping all over her plate. She only ate half. I opted for the sweet chilli chicken. I was disappointed there was no cheese in the sweet chill chicken panini. However, it wasn’t listed to have cheese melted in it, it’s just I have sweet chilli chicken panini a lot and it always has had cheese in it in other places. The chicken was of poor quality too. It doesn’t take much to grill a piece of chicken, or fry some diced chicken and it tastes so much better than the chicken inside of my panini, Instead it was sliced precooked chicken that you buy in plastic packaging heated up. I know the taste and the texture as I used to buy it for a family member and I never liked the taste or texture; you can tell it’s not fresh cooked chicken and that it has preservatives in it. We had chosen around 5 individual chocolates to try and got one each so 10 in total. Although choosing flavours we normally enjoy. There was only two of the chocolates we actually enjoyed, the others had a weird taste to them. I wish we hadn’t eaten there and had chosen to have a drink and eat elsewhere. We spent £25 for two drinks, two paninis and a selection of about 10 individual chocolates. I feel it was a waste of money and would not return. My advice would be for the tearoom to not cut corners by using cheaper products like the chicken and the ham as the taste is important and customers will tell the difference.

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.

With my partner we have travelled up to the fabulous Borders once or twice a week for in excess of a decade. We have always found the Cornhill Village Shop to be a great model for how these businesses can not just survive, but thrive to the benefit of the whole community. Without the Cornhill Village Shop local people would be faced with a 13-mile drive into Berwick or Kelso, often there is not even a bus-service and it is a long walk! They are a Grocery Shop, Delicatessen, Freezer Centre, cafe with outdoor seating, Off Licence, Gift shop, Card shop, Newsagent, National lottery & Health lottery agent, they have a full- time Post Office, they are a parcel collection & distribution point for Amazon etc., they stock bread, butter, bacon, cheese, milk & other everyday meals & ingredients. They sell a variety of fresh sandwiches, a good selection of pies from Foreman's of Norham, and they bake their own pies in increasingly large numbers every day single day. As soon as the Cornhill Gin Distillery opened they were supporting the business wholeheartedly, not just by drinking the gin, but by stocking it prominently on the counter as soon as they could. The truck-drivers who regularly frequent the Cornhill Village Shop are very pleasant, good-humoured local people, who are the life-blood of the Borders, often working long anti-social hours to supply the needs of the Borders community & earn a living. Julie and Linda employ lovely, thoughtful and friendly local staff & are a critically important local trainer and employer. And in spite of being a very busy shop, they take the time to exchange pleasantries, make customers welcome, and provide a vital communications hub for the elderly and disabled. If this is not enough I have seen how selflessly Julie and Linda give of their time, and seriously integrate with the local community. They are an enthusiastic part of Borders Links, Linda regularly organises Macmillan coffee mornings at the Village Hall, they delivered whatever was required by those who had to isolate during COVID and they Frequent local establishments in the evening such as the Collingwood Arms. Great people, doing a great job for the community. Well done to Linda, Julie and all of their staff.

We have been several times and as usual had Excellent service from the staff with fantastic food making it a wonderful experience. We will be returning again. S Breen.

We were looking for lunch after a trip to Lindisfarne and noticed this has excellent reviews. Popped in, few tables outside but noisy road and spindly chairs put us off! So glad we ventured inside.... what I can only describe as beautiful cakes and sandwiches on display with excellent prices too! The side salads looked amazing like a top class deli! We ordered 3 cheese and ham sandwiches....tasty warm foccacia with loads of filling and side salads...a very good value at £9 as it was a huge meal! Can of coke on this warm day came cold and with a glass of ice at only£1.50 ! We holiday regularly in Northumberland and have been horrified by the jump in prices around the coast (and indeed in land!) And to find this quality at a good price was such a great surprise! Well done owner and staff! We will certainly be back to try the amazing cakes and strawberry cheesecake we saw but couldn't manage today!

Not good at all. Not clean and the guy serve with his hands. Not gloves or tongs . Need to change oil for fryer , the one used for my fish and chips was old and overdone. The guy definitely want retiring after a life time of cooking for another but if found difficult to do so.
