1st Class Food And Post Office

Great small café, amazing food and friendly staff. Can't go wrong! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Pot of tea for 1 and scone with butter cost £6.40! For two people that's £12.80. All tasted OK but very pricey, almot £5 more than a local competitor. Had we known there was that much difference we would have gone elsewhere. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I had the best bacon brie and cranberry toasted sandwich. The ratio of bread, to brie to bacon was spot on! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Bacon Cranberry and Brie Toasted Sandwich View menu

Delicious locally sourced food and coffee. Highly recommend the Bamburgh banger and spicy tomato toasties! Lovely family run business with very friendly staff and fast service. Don't forget to pop into the attached takeaway shop for ice creams! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Stopped here after doing to loop walk around the island. After a few hours of walking, it's a great place to stop and refresh. It's not cheap (but no where is nowadays). The food is good quality. My husband had the crab sandwich (he said it was great, tasted really fresh), and I had the bacon, crambery, and brie sandwich. Very nice. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

Having only previously visited on a day when we could use the outdoor area it was great to find that there is a dog friendly room inside the cafe. We both had the Holy Island full breakfast, and full we certainly were afterwards. The component parts were excellent, especially the bacon and sausage really tasty and obviously good quality. Look forward to a return visit. Service: Dine in View menu

We visited the Island on 19th December 2024. We arrived early and we're the first people in for breakfast. We were seated in the front of the cafe but there is more seating available for busier times. We had the breakfast which was very reasonably priced with two slices of toast and plenty of butter. The food was good, not the best we have had but good value for money. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

My wife was snapped at when she inadvertently attempted to place her order at the wrong place and again when she didn’t know the table number despite the table we were using being clearly visible. From the other reviews here it seems this place has something of an attitude (as well as a signage) problem. We took our custom to the people at the Chare End cafe up the road, who were lovely. We can’t comment on whether the food at the 1st Class Food and Post Office is indeed first class because they don’t seem to understand that you only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Extremely disappointed to have bought a caramel shortbread from the counter in the Post Office Shop (which were strangely covered up with tin foil even though I asked for cakes to be uncovered so I could choose what I wanted). Got the bag home (many miles away) to discover its is covered in nuts?!? I have never known caramel shortbread to have nuts on it and have never before had to buy something without seeing it because the person serving wouldn’t uncover it. Had I seen it had nuts on it I wouldn’t have bought it so I’ve unnecessarily wasted my money on a not inexpensive cake. It also doesn’t bode well for anyone with a severe nut allergy. View menu
