The Nook Farm Shop Cafe - Alston

We visited yesterday as we was holidaying in the area and I spotted this place on Google and thought its definitely worth the trip. First impressions was just as we'd expected a lovely farm style cafe in the middle of the country side surrounded by amazing views, luckily the weather was holding out so we could sit out and enjoy the picturesque surroundings. We ordered and only waited around 15-20 minutes for breakfast to arrive at the table, I went for the bigger breakfast at around £15 as you got 2 of each items a coffee and juice also toast, I thought it was a bit over priced but you don't get to eat breakfast in them surrounding everyday and the food is probably quality off local farms, unfortunately it was the food that let it down the bacon was so hard and over cooked, the eggs came out fried although I'd asked for poached, 2 tiny sosages and everything was just greasy, the toast beans and mushroom was ok but that's about it, luckily I'm not a fussy eater and didn't want to wait for it to be redone so ate it anyway but it was just a massive let down, especially at the price I paid I was expecting quality and it was probably the worst cooked breakfast I've ever had, maybe it was an off day but that's my honest review, the service was great and staff friendly.

Stayed overnight, lovely and peaceful and only £5.00. they have 24hr toilet's available on request. Had a delicious breakfast bun in the morning. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again

Wonderful fsrm shop and cafe but more so the service and friendliness impeccable. Used as a motorhome stopover and they were so helpful. Would recommend. Good walks from here too.
