Just new to Bedlington and much needed is root bean. A modern coffee shop selling a half decent…read morecuppa in a nice setting. We popped in for a light lunch. A sandwich made on artisan bread, it was ok, quite tasty but we would've liked to have seen more for £4. The deluxe hot chocolate was a disappointment, £3 is an average price for this, but it was a bit watery & squirty cream is an absolute No for us at that price. The latte was barista made but tiny for £2, a normal latte size glass would be more like it. On the plus we had a bacon croissant which was very tasty & their vegetable cakes were so delicious we had seconds. The bottle of fruit drink was delicious & we would certainly have expected to pay a premium for a drink like this, same with the lovely vegetable crisps. We would definitely return to root bean & recommend it if you are passing through Bedlington, but would suggest as they are new they've just got a bit of tweeking to do with their sizing and pricing.

This has been on my hit list for a while now - the Parlour is tucked away off the beaten track just…read moreoff the A19 en-route to Alnmouth it's not an easy place to stumble past. With plenty of spacious seating on the patio and tucked away in little corners of the garden we found a lovely little table for 3 in the sunshine. For winter months they have 2 main buildings and 2 out-houses which are very pretty and well decorated inside. Post-birthday night out I was a little worse for wear and ready for a full English and a good cup of tea unfortunately the breakfast cut off point is at 11.30 however I wasn't too disappointed as the rest of the menu left plenty of tantalizing options for me to choose from! The waitress came over to take our orders and helped me choose between 2 dishes that I was torn over. The drinks service was a little slow but the food was timey and the presentation on all the dishes was amazing! My Dad opted for a seafood platter, which came with smoked salmon, crayfish, cockles, mackerel and crab slaw all served with sourdough bread, hollandaise and aioli sauces - seafood heaven! My Mum went for the lamb and goats cheese burger that was divine! The lamb was cooked to perfection with it being pink in the middle and served with a yummy mint yogurt dip and sun-dried tomatoes. I was stuck between the club sandwich and BBQ pulled pork open sandwich. On recommendation I went for the pork, which was served, on sourdough toast with melted Monterey cheese - heaven! I was having food-envy looking at the lamb burger but was not in anyway disappointed with my pork. Finishing off our meal with the Parlour's specialty - ice creams all round! I have a new found love for the homemade lemon meringue cone... There is so many flavours including apple pie and the originals too - its an ice cream lovers heaven! Our leisurely lunch here was fab and they are also promoting the "Super Club" on the 18th of July that is a diner's paradise! With three courses plus their homemade ice cream at £25 a head it doesn't break the bank either. This place was definitely worth the 20-minute drive and I will be back to try their dinner menu!

Great little stop. We only stopped for coffee and cake but the food looked delicious! The Afternoon…read moreTea was calling to me.. but unfortunately we already had a packed lunch in the car ;) But I did manage to have a lovely soya latte and slice of a sticky toffee cake! It was a really yummy cake! The sitting rooms were so cute, we were in the garden shed , and there was the main room, and the ice cream parlour and outdoor sitting. A really well done place, with layout and set up. Sometimes tea shops along the high way have a whole room full of junk they are trying to sell to you and then cramped sitting. But not here I think I saw a few cute things for sale but mostly they were focused on their food and I was told famous ice cream! Well done for keeping the place about whats most important... the food! Friendly service and tasty treats. It was a bit slow because they were super packed and under staff. The waiter apologised for the wait and said someone had called in ill! I can only rate it on the cake and coffee because I didn't eat anything there but I imagine it would be good .
