Greenhead Tea Room — Restaurant in England

We were on a 4 hour trek across the country and decided to stop here due to the good reviews.

For some reason the cafe closes at 3pm on a Friday which is odd. But we got there in good time at about half 2.

Apparently they stop serving food even earlier than 3, as half past 2 was the exact cut off point. Is this a cafe or not?

All we wanted was a couple of toasted tea cakes and they refused to make them for us. There’s about 5 minutes of work there with no one else being served and the three women that worked there clearly couldn’t muster the strength to get it done. Instead they were just chatting amongst themselves whilst wiping a few surfaces here and there.

The tea that we did order just came in a mug the tea bag still floating inside. No teapot, no plate, no saucer, no napkin.

We said nothing and were perfectly polite but apparently our mere presence was a huge inconvenience for the three staff working that day.

If you can’t even rummage a pot of tea and a couple of tea cakes together at half 2 in a cafe it’s a poor do.

We would’ve been in and out in 15 minutes before closing. As it stands now, we’ll never be back again.

EDIT: Also, on the website, it says they’re open until 4. It’s a bit a travesty all...

Second visit recently and have had totally different experiences. First one was faultless, second on 1st November hasn't got me wanting to return. We arrived at 2.20 pm, cafe closes at 3 pm. Staff were only interested in closing time. Many cakes had already been put away. When jacket potato was served, cut into it and could tell potato was frozen in the middle, rest of potato was clay cold, quite unacceptable. Wasn't impressed with the sorry received. Others who came in after us did not receive a warm welcome being told ruffly that they closed at 3pm or at 2:40 telling a family there was only takeaway hot drinks available. Won't return. Pleasantness...

Simply superb.

Having visited on numerous occasions, this has to be my favourite cafe. I will admit, the milkshakes are a favourite drink of mine and the specials are fantastic!

From paninis to soups, sandwiches to jacket potatoes, you can be certain that, no mstter your order, you will receive a beautifully presented meal that will compliment your tastebuds.

Great place to stop if you're visiting the Wall, with plenty of lovely walks nearby! Very...
