St Aidans - Northumberland

This charming cafe is not ideal for those watching their waistlines, with its indulgent and scrumptious cakes that are also generously-sized. It makes for a perfect stop after a day of shopping or a leisurely walk. Although it can get crowded at times, the staff is extremely attentive, polite, and welcoming.

This place is amazing, a real treat and a lovely menu selection. The 2 staff working front of house were great and made every thing great

Only open a few evenings a week, I’ve been meaning to shoehorn in a visit for several years, when cottaging in Bamburgh. Glad I did as the food is superb. The format choose three ‘tapas style’ dishes per person for a set price will not suit everyone; and the portions in these tapas dishes are generous so come with a big appetite. Puddings here are also fantastic so I just confess I didn’t do justice to one of my tapas: I’d have liked a two courses plus dessert option. The fresh crab crostini was beautifully well balanced crab, but I’d have liked a smaller crostini. My halibut on a rich Spanish bean stew with chorizo was *sensational*; really a triumph and rich full flavour; my chilli prawns had a lovely heat. Dessert was an outrageously good rocky road warmed slice with excellent chocolate ice cream; fresh berries and a fabulous salted caramel sauce. The wine list here is superb: I splashed out on a special bin end and it was worth the price tag. I really enjoyed the food here, but must also say how impressed and incredibly friendly, and knowledgable are the young, small team. So pleased I came

Great food, great service, great ambience. Tapas style a la Northumbria. Only things that we would have preferred would be to place the service of the dishes at slower rate. Highly recommend

We had an amazing experience at this Northumberland tapas restaurant. We opted for the set meal of 3 dishes for £30, but ended up choosing 6 dishes to share between us, and it was more than enough food. The servings were larger than your typical tapas, and tasted delicious and were well presented. Despite being full, we couldn't resist trying the affogato dessert. The staff were friendly, helpful, and provided excellent service. I highly recommend this place.
