The Victorian Pantry

It is loverly inside the waitress are all dress in the 1930 uniforms.Afternoon Tea is loverly you have a choice of sandwiches very quaint.

Love this place, great place for a coffee and slice of cake!Small menu but always has a nice little atmosphere and is a pleasant place to visit.

The cream tea was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and the prices were reasonable. I can't wait to come back when I am in town again. Visualizza piatti

Stopped off here for some lunch with the kids during the school holidays. Disappointing food. Kids wanted a pizza it turned out to be one of those microwave pizzas, awful.

Lovely homemade cakes, soups and snacks. Very reasonably priced and a lovely set up. Only small but well worth a visit and the adjoining gift shop was also a pleasure with Geordie gifts also on offer.

On a damp Saturday afternoon we popped into the museum to find this Cafe. There appears to be a lack of tea shop here. Nice cuppa and lovely cake, I had the lemon victorian sandwich cake and my hubby had the chocolate cake. Huge portions we really should have shared! Nice little Cafe with pleasant staff. Thank you.

Took some visitors in to see the museum and chose to have tea and cake there too. This was the first time Ive used the cafe and wouldn't go out of my way to go in again. The seating was uncomfortable and cramped. The cake was nothing special and the lady who served us didn't look like she wanted to be there.Its ok but nothing special.

My friend and I stopped here for elevensies on a grey and wet day and really enjoyed our visit. The café exudes retro charm and I particularly like the Great North Eastern Railway map on the wall. I had a cup of tea and teacake and my friend had coffee and cheese crumpets. The food and drink was lovely and served efficiently. The prices were also very reasonable. I also liked the chilled 1920s 1940s music playing in the background which added a sophisticated vibe to the experience.Pros: Lovely retro atmosphere Cheap prices Tasty food and drinkCons: Staff could have been a bit friendlier

Went there today with my other half and was not that busy and the young girl took our order first then the few who followed us in. We eventually got our food 35 minutes later, (think my food had been nuked twice and burnt my mouth), though the others got theirs first or unless you ordered afternoon tea which the presumed owner was more worried bout getting out first. One table got two plates of sandwiches and the third member of the party was left waiting. Another table complained as also being kept waiting and one of the party had an appointment so were in a hurry, I then noticed the young short haired girl making rude faces at the counter where everyone could see her, very rude and disresp...
