The Hemmel Cafe - Northumberland

The Hemmel Cafe is definitely open and now under new and enthusiastic ownership. We visited for breakfast and received a warm welcome from Jenny and Kim. The breakfast was freshly cooked to order by chef Kelvin. it was tasty and excellent value for money. There’s a craft shop on site too selling a growing range of products. This is a great coffee and cake stop for cyclists, walkers or people exploring the local area or for something more substantial like breakfast or one of the daily specials as well as a wonderful community resource.we loved our meal, the warmth of the welcome and excellent service. Thank you!

Our second trip to this lovely little cafe. After a walk around the surrounding moor, we headed for The Hemmel Cafe just as the rain set in. Dogs welcome inside, so we sat down and despite intending to ‘only’ have a sandwich, we went for the Sunday Roast. Both (one beef, one nut roast) were delicious, with crispy roast potatoes and a selection of veg, all done to perfection. We were tempted to have crumble and custard for dessert but didn’t I regret that now oh well, we’ll have to return next time we are in the area and put that right!

Visited this cafe today .plastic table covers grubby. staff feeding the fire with logs .and just wiped their hands on their clothes NOTwashing them .then making coffee handling the cups not by the handles but hands round the main cup !! and handling plates of food !! the food was awful heated up in microwave. pie crust was hard .and the inside was lumpy and hard ..!!, chips dry and tastless . the pudding was actually lovely!!! public toilets floor flooded no seats on loo .and filthy dirty . ADVICE GIVE THIS PLACE A MISS !!!

Have been reading some of the other reviews on Trip Advisor.. Very strange... We've been in the Hemmel a few times and have always found the staff very friendly, efficient and can't do enough for you.. Food is good too very generous helpings and can't fault the quality.

Very poor service got order wrong after we waited for about 30 mins poor quality food when we finally got it. To be fair it was busy and a lovely sunny day
