We visited Corbridge on a whim this weekend and after a walk around we dropped in here for a coffee and maybe some food. We walked upstairs and found a table (it’s dog friendly which is great).
The staff upstairs don’t meet the expectation of the place. All friendly and polite, but there’s no management in the cafe, which means everyone is just standing around and lacking in confidence. I actually had to put them right with our bill, which was originally was quoted as lower than it should have been by over 50%.
We ordered some coffees and a bacon/sausage sarnie each. The coffee was really nice but the sarnies were that dry that even the dog struggled to eat it.
They’re also trying to cram in too many covers upstairs! There’s not the space for people to sit comfortably without being knocked constantly.
It’s just a shame that the attention to detail from downstairs hasn’t made it upstairs...

Read moreSecond visit, happy days on both occasions, equals a galaxy of stars. Today, Corbridge Deli sandwich (the Pastrami hadn’t arrived so improvised with ham), I may have to ask for the updated Corbridge Deli next time, the ham worked wonderfully. Denise had tomato soup.

As you leave there’s always that game of can you pass by the Deli on the way out without sir coming to temptation, of course you can’t, and why on earth would you want to. Enjoy the cafe and theDeli it’s a fantastic place with food and...
