Cafés · Morpeth
A first visit to Morpeth turns up better than expected here — small, cosy and spotlessly clean, with staff who greet you warmly and keep an eye on every table even when there's only one person on the floor. Tables and high chairs get properly wiped down between customers, which matters when you've got a toddler putting hands everywhere. Food is homemade and comes out looking cared for: soup of the day, a children's sandwich with plenty of ham in it, and scones that people genuinely go back for — the fruit and the wholemeal cherry and almond both get raved about. Prices are on the table and on the daily menu on the wall, and the afternoon tea is good value. Toilets are outside. It's a snug room rather than a roomy one, so a big pram may be awkward at busy times, but the welcome makes up for it — one parent called it the highlight of their holiday.
