Good to Know

Nanna Pat's is a family-run café and bistro at 58 Northumberland Street. It used to be The Village Tearooms, and was taken on by Phil Allan and his daughter Beth, who already worked there. They renamed it after Phil's mum, who used to bake cakes and scones with the grandchildren.

Why it's on our list: it's one of the most-reviewed places to eat in Alnmouth, known for the cosy, classic tea room feel, friendly staff and proper comfort food, with more substantial bistro dishes on the menu too.

Worth knowing: it's mainly a daytime café, so check before planning an evening meal here.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.
