Kirkharle Coffee House

Lovely pretty place to visit!
Plenty home baked choices, and dietary requirements catered for.
Table service was lovely, and our waitress was so friendly, and remembered the children's names. Courtyard seating outdoors if preferred. Lake behind courtyard too.
Suitable for blue badge holders, and free parking on site.
We will definitely return.

First visit for around 10 years. Lovely food, (sausage and bacon sandwich was best I've had for a long time!) and despite being busy, young lady serving was efficient, friendly and personable. Tea room was clean and tidy and cakes and other goodies looked good.
Nice chat with young lady on the till in Brown's larder, again very friendly and efficient. Recommend a visit

It's a lovely spot to sit outside in the sun and have some lunch. Not your usual coffee shop menu: when the bacon, sausage and egg sandwiches come with salad you know it's a a notch up. They also have things like goat's cheese. Not cheap, but worth it. Pro tip: make sure you check the specials board by the main building otherwise you'll miss quite a bit!

Clare and Angela were so welcoming. The food was beautiful. We had soup and cheese scones. The soup was so tasty, the presentation was pretty and the scones were really really good. I also just had to have a cake and it was as wonderful as it looked.
The fire was on and the cafe has such a great charm. It was stormy outside so there were only a few of us (another group coming out as we went in) but the cafes decor and the lovely friendly staff made the atmosphere of this cafe lush.
I have been in the summer and Christmas but this is an all year round gem! If you are visiting belsay it's well worth going a bit further north and being right opposite Wallington makes it perfect to visit before or after your walk.
They have loads of events on too. I am not able to make it but the stargazing one in half term sounds unforgettable and so unique. Honestly couldn't sing the praises of this gem anymore! X

Excellent experience. Lovely cafe staff were welcoming, friendly, helpful, and tentative. Cappuccinos and sconeeees were awesome.

Popped in for a cuppa after taking dog to Bolam lake,
What an absolute delight, delicious food , marvelous atmosphere, and the Robson Northumbria pipe band ( totally unexpected) to play a few tunes,
Bought some art from one of the vendors ( local artist too)
Magical couple of hours
Highly recommended

Great meeting room set up above the cafe - lovely and warm coffee and tea available all day. Food was preordered and ready in time. Staff super helpful - thank you ! 🤩

Always enjoyable, staff are very friendly, food is always good. And a nice walk around the lake (weatherproof) and short walk through the woods.

Excellent food, lovely service. The soup and wraps were really good. Recommend and will come again

Beautiful place, enjoy a walk then tea or lunch at the coffee house. After for gluten free and other dietary needs good choices.

The staff were excellent and so helpful in making us comfortable with our two preschool grandchildren. The food was good and the area we were in was quiet with a children's kitchen and books, which went down a treat. Fuss was made over the girls, which they lapped up of course. Will certainly return!

Lovely location, good menu with the best cheese scones.
Good coffee, good service, reasonable prices.

Accommodated a group of 20+ grubby cyclists easily. Food good, service excellent. Very friendly. Would definitely recommend 👍

Incredible staff. Brilliant food. Catered for our awkward troop of dairy and gluten allergy sufferers brilliantly. Felt safe feeding my youngest there. Thoroughly enjoyed the first gluten free baked treats I've had in years without that gluten-free-taste. Honestly these were as good as my nans scones from back when I could eat those.

Such a fabulous place to enjoy a tasty brunch. We were lucky that the sun was shining, so we sat outside watching the birds as they tried to steal some crumbs. It's such a peaceful place, the perfect spot to unwind.

Lovely afternoon spent excellent coffee shop serving an excellent range of food and beverages with the added bonus of great weather and a classic car rally.

Lovely food and beautiful latte. Could do with a sign up saying table service.
Lovely location and nice walk around the lake.
Would definitely recommend

We'd hoped to sit outside but the weather was against us; still, not too busy inside and delicious scone with coffee. Well worth the trip out! Sorry, enjoying myself too much to take photos.

After visiting Wallington gardens I popped in to Kirkharle cafe for a bite of lunch. Never disappointed, very tasty soup and scone plus coffee. The staff are just so nice, friendly and helpful.

Had a cream scone and a cup of tea. The scone was perfection. If you're passing it's well worth a visit.
