Grannies — Restaurant in England

We went here as reviews were good. My husband asked if he could charge his ‘phone. He was told to ask in the shop part of the cafe. They said no and claimed to have no sockets available. They didn’t check why my husband needed the ‘phone charging. I don’t believe they couldn’t have unplugged something else for the short time we were there. I’ve asked this in cafes before and it’s never been an issue. It really spoilt our time here as it seemed so petty. My husband had a sandwich which was expensive and nothing special for this price. I had a scone which again was nothing special. I know that sounds like sour grapes re the food but that was how we experienced it. We felt uncomfortable and unwelcome the whole time we were there and put a shadow on our trip to Alnwick...

Love Grannies, been going strong prior, during & after Lockdown. Shop & Staff are excellent with new Covid19 measures in place. Felt very safe.

May they continue to thrive under the current circumstances and we'll be back again soon. Support your...
