The menu of sandwiches, toasties, panini etc. are quite inventive. I chose a Club sandwich, it was a triple-decker of gorgeous fresh bread packed with juicy bacon, tomato, olives etc. perfectly balanced. Cakes and scones were fabulous too. Prices incredibly reasonable for a tourist spot. To compare & contrast the tea rooms of Alnwick- now that would be a fun task!

Really good find here…read more Although on both visits it does get busy, so noise can bouce around and it's fairly popu;ar with parents and kids. Other than that, food seems to be good. But they are just far too aldente with the french beans on visit one. After saying twice that the needed to be cooked more (served rock hard to us) we used the microwave to blast them. They did however take the beans off the bill and apoligised. Lovely wee gift shop full of delightful and dainty gifts. The deli is just as good and stocks the beer from the microbrewery much to the hubbies delight.

Thanks go to Mason for leading our little party to this amazing spot!…read more The deli & farm/gift shop is totally amazing and super adorable. The brownie is decadent, rich and with the right amount of crunch & gooey ratio. Scotch egg was yum, sausage roll got the thumbs up. Much cheese was bought and consumed. They have my fave (Comte) which was a super added bonus. Great place to stop for a bite and a wander around. Try not to miss the Brewery tours like we did... (gives us a reason to go back!). Don't be afraid to ask for tasters of the beers, grab a pint and sit on a comfy couch to enjoy it! If only I had a car... I'd totally be back.. but I'm sure I'll find a way to return.. somehow!

On entering l was greeted by one if the owners who said "hello and how are you today " and that alone is something rare these days, never met such polite staff and helpful in every way. The first thing l noticed when l walked in was how well stocked the shop was, everything was in its place, on the shelves where stocked with locally sourced in Edinburgh or Scotland, from biscuits to locally made jam. There where in house made pizza slices to go as well as coleslaw, and cheesecake. The Mouse hole deli stock a variety of scottish cheeses with a selection of cold cut meats, with the usual deli items such as the salads, fresh eggs available and an assortment of baked breads. The prices here are pretty good considering you are supporting locally sourced goods that are made nearby. I do see myself coming back? Most definitely. Service 5* Atmosphere 5* Value 5*

I appreciate what this place is trying to be, but the execution of trying to be this millennial-feeding, instagram-worthy, health cafe is a little off. It's predictably expensive. Staff are ok, in relative terms they were ok. They are believers in their product, but maybe do not appreciate feedback highly enough? I got steak wrap and chips. Now, a tortilla isn't a taco. A taco or a tortilla isn't a wrap if it's just halved. A nice little taco you can fold over and chow on, a full size tortilla can't be eaten like that. Steak was lovely, though. I opted for the "sweet potato chips/fries", the chips were just like warm, wet potato wedges, really. They obviously baked them for health goals but just failed from a taste point of view. Chips aren't wedges and chips are fried (unless explicitly they say not - particularly for an extra cost). Service staff took them back and brought more of the same. Truly miserable chips. Oh, and partner had similarly mediocre views of their meal. Anyway, this is too long. Yelp reviews are pretty much just a self-fulfilling act anyway.
