The Old Customs House - Tearooms — Restaurant in England

I would rate this higher if I could! It's pretty much the perfect café! The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The décor and ambience (non-intrusive music for once) and soft furnishings meant I could engage in conversation easily.

As for the food, absolutely delicious! I had the quiche of the day, ham, tomato and cheese, garnished with side salad, coleslaw and crisps. It was really very good. No soggy bottom to be seen and full of flavour. Compliments to whoever made it! The salad was not just chucked on the plate from a bag, it was delicious as were the crisps and coleslaw. I had a black coffee to wash it all down. Honestly, one of the best lunches I've had in a while.

My wife had a chicken, chorizo and cheese panini and she said it was excellent too.

Probably the biggest compliment from my 6 year old was that he completely cleaned up his ham sandwich and pom bears! I nabbed some crusts and I can confirm his assertion that the sandwich was very tasty!

What a fantastic find, if you want to go strongly suggest booking to guarantee a table. Lovely character venue, staff are all exceptional, pokte and friendly. Dog friendly which suits me, but I know others aren't keen. But all dogs today were extremely well behaved. Extensive menu, with a daily specials board. Corned Beef pie was beautiful apparently, wafer thin pastry, packed full of corned beef and potato, alongside buttery new potatoes and huge side salad. Had the most divine beetroot chutney with it too. Other choice was Bacon, Brie and Cranberry Pannini - not had such lovely Brie in a long time. Everything was lovely, not a morsel left. Saw the afternoon Tea for 2 being delivered - don't eat for a week if ordering it, was plentiful and looked fantastic. Filter coffee gets free refills - bargain. Would recommend and will visit again if...

My friend recently arrived from Australia and we enjoyed a lovely meal with friends at the Old Customs House Tearooms at Amble. The Tea Room was recommended and didn’t disappoint. It really has that homely feeling with excellent service. From the moment we entered we were warmly welcomed. They were busy, but managed to find us a table just for a cup of tea while we waited for our friends. (although our reservation was for an hour’s time). The room was warm and cosy and the seats were very comfortable. The Tea House has a pleasant atmosphere, an ideal place for warming yourself away from the chill of the day. The service is fast & friendly with excellent food in a lovely relaxing setting. There is large assortment of choices on menu which are very reasonably priced. A very enjoyable experience. Would...
