Customer reviews echo the same sentiment—Virginia McConville enjoyed "a corned beef toastie with a side salad and a pot of tea" and described the experience as efficiently pleasant, stating, "The toastie was divine! Beautiful bread and full of filling." This sentiment is shared across many reviews, showcasing a commitment to both quality and satisfaction, with patrons often returning for more of their delicious offerings.

What sets Thrunton Woods Tearoom apart is not just its delectable menu or friendly service but also its unique charm – a peacock roaming the grounds adds an unforgettable touch to your visit.

We had a lovely walk around the woods and then came for something to eat. Lovely freshly made toastie with a coffee and then a cake to follow . Very pleasant service and good food at a reasonable price. Dog friendly and very welcoming. It’s a must after a walk in the woods . Thanks

I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Thrunton Woods café. I've been intending to pop by for a good while. Decided today was the day! I enjoyed a corned beef toastie with a side salad and a pot of tea. The young lady serving was efficient and friendly. The toastie was devine! Beautiful bread and full of filling. Very good value I will definitely return. I think I'll try a jacket potato......

Called in here when out for a drive in Northumberland, coffee was pretty good and the outdoor seating area pretty good too. Nice and handy when in the area.

Our first time here and the staff were lovely and friendly, the coffee was tasty and hot, we only had a sweet treat, but they were delicious, and we would recommend and will definitely call in again.

Lovely quiet little spot with good food, clean facilities, car parking, and a friendly peacock roaming the grounds! Close to the woods and walks. Do check around your car before pulling away as the beautiful feathered chap doesn't have much in the way of survival instinct. No photos of cake as I basically inhaled it...
