Bird in Bush Inn and Coffee Shop Elsdon Northumberland — Restaurant in England

We tried to get a table at a nearby establishment but found it fully booked. Immediately, four separate people, who had overheard us at the bar, started speaking, urging us to go to the Bird in Bush. All four started giving us directions and it was comically difficult to follow any of them. But we found it just the same, and what a find! A great friendly local on the corner of the village green, with superb food and ales from the adjoining F & L (First and Last) brewery. One tiny word of warning - the driver was accidentally given a full-strength beer instead of the ordered 0% one, and only realised when most of it had been drunk. But we lingered over coffee and made the short drive to our hotel without incident. The next night we did get a table at the first place - it was not nearly as good as...

We sat down in the cafe and ordered some coffees and cakes. Sadly the latte was pretty poor (absolutely scalding and lacking in coffee taste and the cakes (school cake & coffee & walnut) were dry and very disappointing, having had awesome cakes here before and even chatted to the lovely lady who made them, I can only assume these cakes were from the back end of last week as they were not the norm. I know we'll be back, but today...
