The 29 best shopping and stores in Morpeth

Very pretty, but parking in the nearby car park you need to purchase a timer disc permit. Pets at home beside next have the permits. They cost £1 and can be used across Northumberland.

Good selection of modern shops. Very clean and tidy in great small town. Plenty of coffee shops and tea rooms, many dog friendly

Sanderson Arcade is a must visit if you are in Morpeth. It has a good selection of branded shops such as Crew Clothing, Fat Face etc but also some fantastic small businesses. We particularly liked the Enjoy Spirits shop which had a great selection of local spirits and beers. Mr Simms sweet shop also with had some amazing retro sweets as well as good pic’n’mix selection, something for every age group. The only reason I gave Sanderson Arcade four stars is because it isn’t the biggest shopping centre with only 10-20 shops, which is understandable for a medium size town. We definitely be going back though.

It is a very tidy, sophisticated place. Lots to do for adults. Good concise shopping. Free nearby parking and good access into Morpeth centre. A red carpet welcome for everyone.

Great arcade. There are plenty of shops. Parking is good, buy a circle from Pets at home, £1, then park for 3 hrs. Keep and park again, we'll done for the initiative on parking!

It is always a lovely clean and friendly place to visit with nice shops.

Nice arcade with some really good shops, would have spent some more time but had to travel on The central bean cafe at the M&S end was nice with a relaxing seating area outside. The town of Morpeth itself is worthy of a longer look round as well.

Amazing food and cocktails, lovely efficient staff and great service! Love the atmosphere and well priced for the quality. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Two courses £25 for Sunday lunch (beef, turkey or chicken) and 2 cocktails for £14 quite reasonable for 2025. Best to book as gets really busy!

I recently attended a wedding at Barluga Morpeth and was so impressed from start to finish. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful stylish yet welcoming, with a lovely atmosphere that made the day feel really special. Emily, who looked after the wedding party, deserves a huge mention. She was so organised, professional, and attentive throughout the day. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure everything ran smoothly, and thanks to her, the whole event felt seamless and stress-free. She really went above and beyond to make the day perfect. The food was another highlight every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and of a really high standard. It’s not always easy catering for a large group, but everything came out fresh and full of flavour. Overall, Barluga Morpeth is a fantastic wedding venue. The combination of excellent service, and top quality food made it a day to remember. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it for their big day.

Great meal at barluga for the three of us. Would recommend the Moving Mountains Burger for any fellow vegetarian/vegans and upgrading to the Parmesan and truffle fries! Buns were on the dry side but still an enjoyable burger. My brother enjoyed the surf n turf - would recommend.

Always great to visit Barluga. My pork belly it was lovely. One of my guests wanted an extra on his impressive burger and the kitchen immediately agreed to added. Definitely recommend

Booked in for a birthday lunch and the staff were amazing as always. Friendly, attentive and upbeat. The food was outstanding. We got mussels and chicken pate to start which was outstanding. For mains I got the sirloin surf and turf which was spectacular. Perfectly cooked and packed full of flavour. The wife got the borgenion which was tender and full of flavour. The only downside was the mouthy charvas sat on the next table mouthing off about utter trash. Finished off with a few limoncellos but thank you all for an amazing birthday meal

I tried bar Luga a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised as originally I just thought It was a cocktail bar downstairs. We took a wander upstairs and found a rather large restaurant. The decor is fabulous clean and ambient. Staff were lovely couldn't do enough for you, however a smile 😀 goes a long way :) customers remember the service they recieve. Will definitely be back in the upcoming weeks to try out some new dishes. Here's a little photo dump of some of the dishes. Beautiful food. Oh and I also realised they catered for private functions an added bonus for christenings, baby showers or small weddings.

Friendly staff that serve delicious meals. Probably best to make a reservation as it gets quite busy.

It's not our first visit. Just perfect. Lovely meals, brilliant service, quite and peaceful small restaurant. Also very clean. If you love Greek food it is definitely your place.

Visited for uncles birthday at end of January, enjoyable meal with quick service however large portions.

The food was very tasty 😋 and a great portion. 1st time visiting, we will definitely be returning. Staff were lovely and friendly 😊

We dropped into the Socrates restaurant without a reservation and fortunately they had one table available. We were made to feel welcome immediately and the two lovely ladies who were on duty could not have been more helpful. They obviously enjoy their job and it really showed. My wife had the pan-fried Sea Bass and I had the Athenian Chicken sizzler. The portions were very generous and the food was excellent. The restaurant is simply but tastefully decorated and we loved the fact that the background muzak was very soft. It was enough to give an ambience without being intrusive. It was a lovely evening and if we ever visit Morpeth again, we will be back.

My son booked a table for my birthday on a Thursday night. The food was superb. Good service. We will definitely be back. A big thank you to the chef and front of house for making my birthday so special.

Really lovely welcome from friendly staff and service was excellent. Attentive without being intrusive. Superb food, selection and quality was 1st class, large portions enough for a "doggy bag" (the dog loved the chicken 😄). Not overcrowded so felt comfortable . We'll be back!!

At last a good afternoon tea. The place is clean, the food is great and the service superb. Such a contrast to the high priced sub standard fare on the high street. We’ll be back here. Excellent value too.

A brilliant gem of a place, really well worth tracking down. The cakes were exceptional and all home-made. Great service too!

Lovely place, I totally love the food, atmosphere and service. Definitely I need to come back!! Scones soo yummy!! 10/10. Highly recommend it!! 😍❤️

Fab little cafe. We had club sandwiches and they were absolutely amazing! We turned up just before 12 on a Saturday - which seemed a good thing as they got pretty busy very quickly! They had a little sign up inside saying they prefer if you can pay in cash, worth being aware of as we were unprepared. And while they happily took a card payment in the future I would bring cash.

Took our Mam for her 85th birthday staff lovely food lovely well presented well worth money and definitely worth a visit they even sung Happy Birthday to her !!!!!

This place is very nice and clean inside and outside where the toilets are. We had a very warm welcome, only one waitress but she did the service extremely well. Very attentive with all the tables. The main meal was excellent with all details, dessert cooked with love and very well presented. Prices where on the table and daily menu hunggin on the wall. Reasonable prices.

Had a delicious baguette, filled with caramelised onion, roast veg and grilled goats cheese, with some salad coleslaw and a few crisps. Husband had quiche. Tea to drink. Cannot recommend highly enough. Staff were busy but attentive and friendly. Cakes looked yummy. They prefer cash, no pressure and do accept cards. It's a cost thing and if it helps our independent cafe owners, great. There are ATMs near by. If in Morpeth go and enjoy yourselves there.

The service was excellent. The food was a little bland, which was disappointing. No traditional Indian music playing to add to the experience either. It is possible that it improves as the night goes on, but we're unlikely to return to find out.

Visiting from America: If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisines Manzil is the spot. The food is delicious and flavorful. The wait time is very short. The scenery is excellent and gives you a pleasant feeling of the South East Asian culture. The staff and services are top tier. If you’re near the area of Newcastle I definitely recommend stopping by this place.

Empty restaurant and the food was not as nice as a previous visit last year. The poppadoms and pickles were £7.95 for 5 which i think is well OTT. We had a really good meal last year but this time it seems to have lost something. Maybe the chef has changed but they need to get their act together soon before they lose customers.

Highly recommend. Manzils is my partners fave restaurant! Great prices! Great Value for Money!

Sooo delicious 🤤 it was really nice spicy food 👌🏻 very good stuff /friendly/ offer nice service make you feel comfortable and make sure if the food was nice or they can change for you but no need for change it was amazing food and service.

Food was very bland cheap ingredients both me and my partner asked for pilau rice since when does pilau rice have different colours!! real is supposed to be YELLOW! Not red not green or pink all yellow, chips were not chips they were more like potatoes that had just been cut up not proper indian cuisine at all won't be returning.

Absolutely fantastic food at such a great price . Birthday lunch that didn't break the bank. Thank you

Really nice area to sit in, with a good menu and choices,lovely food all freshly cooked to perfection. A lovely area of christmas gift hampers, sweets &treats for all the family.

Lovely food choice, atmosphere is a little canteen like but great outside seating and fab for families of all ages. It’s a chosen spot to bring my mother!

Lovely food all round, nice and relaxed compared to the normal ones, my favorite is a sausage stottie and a flat white.

Lovely cafe and deli. Visited yesterday & normally I have a savory tooth but I was tempted with the rhubarb and custard cake. Hubby had chocolate cake. Tea was.piping hot & I managed to get 2 good cups out of the pot. At the moment they have autumnal flavours to the coffee such as pumpkin spice. Tables are quite closely packed so I think wheelchair users would struggle for space but I'm sure this could be remedied by a shuffle. A nice selection of teas, jams, marmalades and lots of other goodies are on display in the shop part of the larder. Lovely.

So nice, loved the coffee and my scone. Wish there was a corner inside for dogs the same as the Corbridge larder 😕

We had a late breakfast as we were on our little road trips. The breakfast (£8.50) was okay but hubby thinks it was quite good. I would have preferred fried eggs, the bacon was a little dry and sausage wasn’t as good. Bonus was the artisan market which I failed to photograph.

Nice. We had coffee & scones. Alomost.£16. . Imo quite pricey. We've had better alot cheaper. . But it's Morpeth!

I've been here before with no issues but today I tried to visit for breakfast and I'm genuinely shocked. I do have a nut allergy and let the server know, she than asks me how bad it is, I let her know it is not an airborne allergy, I just can't eat nuts. Then a second server comes to ask the same thing again so I explain the same thing again. Then ANOTHER member of staff comes to ask AGAIN. Its good they wanted to check but at this point I was confused why this was such a big deal. They tell me they have a sign outside saying if you have a nut allergy to not even enter the premises 😂 I have no idea why. I've never had an issue eating out and having food prepared by any other cafe or restaurant. I'm pretty sure it's standard to cater for people with allergies. What about people with other allergies? Why do they only hate with people with nut allergies? We decided to just leave as we felt they clearly didn't want us there and I wasn't confident they could provide food that wasn't contaminated. A truly bizarre experience. Anyway I went to another cafe up the road who had absolutely zero issues providing me with food.

Fantastic dog friendly cafe in Morpeth, ended up visiting 3 times in 5 days! Super friendly and excellent food - great full English and pancakes, and the sandwiches too.

Called in today on a local recommendation, got a great welcome when we went in. Dog friendly too. Very nice staff and very friendly. Great menu, lovely food. Even got a very nice piece of lemon drizzle cake coz it was my birthday and they had run out of salsa for my loaded nachos! 😂 Definitely recommend this place, everyone got the same friendly reception. Lovely Yorkshire lady greeting everyone. Service was quick and everyone left empty plates! Thank You again for my Birthday Cake!

Went here today for breakfast. Great cosy atmosphere, the young lady who was serving was very attentive more so because the cafe was very busy this morning, and she was on her own but kept everything flowing. Well done to her. The food was very nice and although very busy we didn't have to wait long.

Came here for my birthday breakfast and had a fantastic breakfast, everything was spot on, lovely place to sit and eat, great customer service, highly recommend🙌🏼

It was a spontaneous stop for coffee but we decided to try their specials. The service we receive was fantastic, quick and friendly staff coupled with a chilled environment in a tiny space. Love the decor and we had fun looking at bank notes on the walls trying to identify where they are from. We had the Chicken kebabs, it was a bit on the pricey side (£11) for the portion and taste. The coffee was extremely weak even the double shot latte. There were other things on the menu that could be better but the food we ordered just wasn’t as good as expected but edible.

Lovely place, lovely coffee, tasty scone & friendly owners. Very dog friendly. Visited here a few times & will continue to.

Well worth a visit. Had a delicious lunch here today with my husband who, incidentally, is a vegetarian. The coffee is great too. Will certainly return to The Wheatsheaf in lovely Morpeth.

A lovely little cafe, tucked away behind a row of Edwardian buildings, across the road from the Town Hall. The Wheatsheaf provides very good service and very reasonably priced, home cooked food. The Corned Beef and Potato pie, with fried new potatoes, side salad and tasty homemade Coleslaw, is truly beautiful.

Great food and drinks. Cozy intimate surroundings.Staff friendly. We've been going for years and it's always spot on.

Fantastic local coffee shop still there 40 years after I used to visit as a child. Highly recommended. Lovely friendly staff.

Really friendly staff. Good honest food. Large portions. Go for the scones, the best.

Lovely little coffee shop food was excellent first time we have been but will defiantly be back

A really special unique small cafe great food and hospitality you can't go wrong here.

A beautiful, independent shop. Especially if you want to buy something special. From cosmetics to clothing and my favourite boots. Worth a visit.

First time visiting the store in many years. I really enjoyed a look around- some fabulous high end ladies clothing upstairs. Great for gift shopping especially as the festive season approaches- I’ll be back. Joules section had a good variation of products and sizes and there is also a cafe on the first floor.

This place is a must visit, it reminded us of a smaller style Jenners - perhaps a little old fashioned in places but we were amazed at how much they had in store, make up counters, gifts and clothing for ladies and gents. There is even a cafe, which was very busy and smelt lovely.

On our visits to Morpeth we always include time for Rutherfords, such a good department store. Particularly fine for Christmas shopping, although it's very easy to get carried away! Staff always friendly and helpful. And the Christmas window display this year is excellent - better than Fenwick's, we reckon!

Lovely old department store and very reasonably priced

Visited Rutherfords today for a coffee and also a wander around the shop itself. Quite nostalgic as I used to visit here alot when I was a child and I don't think it has changed at all. The shop itself has a huge variety of brands you can't really find on other small high streets, benefit, Molton brown, Radley, joules to name a few. Today there was a sale and quite a few bargains in store. The shop staff are friendly and all say hello hut never feel overbearing. The cafe is the same as the shop, hasn't changed in years. Coffee was as you would expect from a cafe selling Pumphreys coffee, quite strong but good. Breakfast was a simple option of granary bread, scrambled eggs and bacon, cooked well and plenty on the plate. If you're in morpeth the shop is worth a wander for something a little different.

Popped into Rutherford's today Friday 7/12/18 but was delayed by their lovely window display 😍. A beautiful Nativity scene plus the other windows beautifully and tastefully decorated. More appealing to me than another department store on Northumberland Street, Newcastle upon Tyne (also at New Bond Street, London) 😂

Highly recommend this place. Had an emergency repair I needed doing straight away. Everywhere was booked up for weeks as was this place. The guys said bring the bike down tomorrow and we'll see what we can do but can't promise anything. These lads went above and beyond and got my bike fixed and back to me the same day. The lads went above and beyond to get me back on the road. First class service and highly recommended

Recently got a puncture on my rear tyre so decided to just get a new set of tyres for my motorbike. Rang up this week and they managed to get the tyres in and fitted by today. Absolute top bloke, service was 10/10, takes great care in looking after his customers. Went as far as fixing a couple of things that he didn’t have to do as I only asked for the tyres to be changed but he did it anyways after showing me what as going on, he also went as far as offering helpful advice as I stated I was new to motorbikes. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, I’ll be going in the future for anything related to my motorbike. The cafe where you can wait and get food whilst they are working on your bike is lovely as well, brilliant service there also and food was lovely.

I used this company for an MOT then a chain and sprocket replacement. Excellent advice, very fair prices and realistic estimates for how long the work will take. The used bikes in the cafe - which are for sale - are well worth a look. Simply the best bike workshop I know.

Very friendly and helpful went above and beyond to get bike back on the road. Efficient reliable and value for money. I would strongly recommend this company

Very friendly staff, both in the workshop and the cafe. I managed to get my bike MOTed at short notice. They also have a few lovely bikes for sale there. I’ll definitely use them again.

Popped in for a tyre change on my newly purchased 2011 street triple 675 (ebay sight unseen). Tony and Darren kindly gave me service and maintenance advice. Highly recommend them and prices aren’t too bad either! Will have to pop back for the food!

Just had my zx6r into the boys Awesome crack awesome service Best around Plus there breakfasts aren’t bad either 👍👍

I have stumbled upon this wonderful ' gem ', having asked the Barnardo and Age U. K. assistants where the ' hill ' went, no definitive answer was forthcoming, hence I drove up and found ' The Wansbeck ' well worth a visit, and ' mine-hostess ' Helen was very welcoming. ! Make sure you go !!!

A nice change from traditional Sunday roast. Good value for money well cooked ,service from staff excellent. We Will be back.

Lovely pub with great cold beer and it had a chippy van outside when I went.

Lovely new owners who really care about the business and the local people. We had my grandmothers wake here and it was very nice, food was great, staff were lovely. Nothing was any trouble for them. Can’t fault it, thank you 🩷

Had to cancel our Sunday meals, as it hadn't arrived after 90minutes. We were With a large party of 14, the meals were served one at a time by rude and inexperienced staff, hence meals were finished before some meals were even served, we never got ours at all!! The meals that were served were missing items i.e. gravy, potatoes and no sauces offered. Really disappointed, we left. The manager failed to come see us, however after we left the remaining few of the party, who were still waiting for food were offered a complementary bottle of wine. We won't be returning or recommending.

First meal out in forever! Chose well!! Absolutely fantastic Thai food in a little unassuming pub in Morpeth. Really pleasantly surprised. 😁👍

If your looking for some were different for a Thai meal the Wansbeck is definitely worth trying.

Excellent choice of table lamps pictures wallpaper and curtains fabrics staff very friendly and helpful

Upstairs you'll find the Best Gallery by far for showcasing new, old, young, experienced and innovative artists. With a super knowledgeable and very friendly and helpful staff. The surroundings lend themselves to a range of styles and tastes, showing the art 'in situ' in order to gain perspective for hanging/placing at home. Downstairs you'll be amongst thousands of wallpapers, paints, fabrics, curtain swatches and wallpaper samples, enough to keep you immersed for hours. (bring a packed lunch😅) It's a lovely shop, with lovely staff.

I have purchased several pieces of artwork by different artists recently from the Tallantyre gallery and also at their 'pop up' premises in Sanderson Arcade,Morpeth. The gallery staff , Jaqui and Sam , are very knowledgable and extremely helpfull and friendly. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

It was our first time here as we were just passing where the chair in the widow drew us in. There is a large choice of papers, paint and pictures in a gaery on the upper floors. We had a long conversation with a very friendly member of staff about the shop ect. We loved it a d return ex a few days later to order the chair in the window.

Love this shop. There's so many quality wallpapers to choose from. We have shopped here for years. Super friendly staff too.

Tallantyre team are always happy to help and can guide us with all types of interior discussions we've had over the years. They have an extensive paint range, wallpaper and fabrics. We really love some of the art they bring in too and they help spread the cost of the larger pieces so we can enjoy the art at home :)

Lovely folks! Great range of Farrow & Ball and Little Greene to browse and put together to choose the perfect match. Team are always on hand to give you advice, but give you room to browse when you're looking to be inspired.

Slap bang in the middle of Bridge Street in Morpeth, this is my favourite art supplies shop. They sell all sorts of paints, brushes, calligraphy and decoupage sets, sketchbooks etc. and their wrapping papers are artworks in their own right. They also run workshops. The people are lovely and I always buy my watercolour paper here. Highly recommend!

There is a distinct lack of Art Supply Shops in the North East of England, which is why I was so excited to find this shop. They stock a good range of art products at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and helpful and I managed to get everything I needed. Will become a regular customer.

Brilliant shop. Had a fantastic supply of decorative paper for book binding and decoupage. Lovely chap runs it, do visit it.

Lovely art shop, will definitely visit again next time I'm in Morpeth, they have a great range of products from decopage sets to calligraphy, plenty of paints, pencils, sketchbooks an other stuff available too! If I lived closer I would love to go to some of the workshops that they hold too, they sounded really good. The owner was very friendly as well and very knowledgeable about the products.

A beautiful little place there are lots of really lovely buildings and places to visit highly recommended

Fantastic selection of journals and fine-liner pens. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this shop!

Very helpful, great variety of stock

I chose The Bee and Botanist for our wedding flowers as I have ordered seasonal bouquets from here before and they are always beautiful and last a long time. When I popped in to order them, I wasn't really sure what I needed - or wanted! - but I was helped along by Louise and she described the perfect arrangements. I also requested something for my dogs, and she was able to oblige. The flowers arrived on the day with detailed instructions from the florists on how to keep them their best, and they were absolutely beautiful. We kept the bouquets and arrangements at home and they lasted at least a week before they started to fade. They were excellent quality, beautifully arranged - thank you!

Had a fantastic winter themed hat box bouquet delivered to a restaurant for my grandmas birthday meal in December as a table centre piece. The staff were extremely helpful in delivering the bouquet to the venue for us and arranged the bouquet beautifully despite a quiet last minute order. My grandma was over the moon with her flowers and wouldn’t stop talking about how lovely they were all night! Thank you to the lovely staff!

Beautiful flowers for my friend’s birthday. So easy to drop them an email & put your order in. Had compliments off people simply walking down the street so pointed them in the right direction. Thank you again Louise and team!

Absolutely stunning!!!! Exactly what I requested. I wanted a textural birthday bouquet and wow they certainly hit the Mark in every way. Will certainly be ordering again. Very happy customer thank you.

Louise and the team at the Bee and the Botanist did our wedding flowers in May, they came up with really creative designs and listened to and answered all my questions. Amazing people and beautiful flowers. Would really recommend.

I want to thank The Bee and Botanist from the bottom of my heart for the BEAUTIFUL flowers they did for mums funeral on May 6th. They were absolutely outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting top quality work. Superb! Thank you again!

I’m in love in this place! First of all the flowers we got were gorgeous. We got big and beautiful bouquet for Mother’s Day which for sure will make an impression. But more importantly the atmosphere of the place, kindness and dedication of all the ladies working there despite busy and I guess stressful time made me decide that that will be my go to place to get flowers for every important occasion!

Thought it perfectly OK to leave a car park while on the phone. You'd think people with their company name on the side of their van would have a little more common sense...

Waited all day for someone to come and give me a quote, but they turn up when I’m picking up my son from childcare at 17:30, sorry I am not psychic, ring ahead if your going to be that late. But hey, fair enough these things happen. However, what I didn’t appreciate was that Vince seemed unhappy to wait 15 mins or so and had the nerve to be disgruntled with me. So you can go forth and multiply if you can’t even get the pre-sales bit right.

Great range of products both ladies and mens. They have a Spa, Costa Coffee and a lovely little flower shop! Love it! Very friendly staff... Bought some Armani Exchange, Guide London shirts and a jacket and a Remus waistcoat! Very successful shopping trip with a great atmosphere.

Very responsive and helpful when a joint blew on my dishwasher inlet supply, flooding my utility room. Arrived within one hour of my call, and the job was sorted and completed within 40 minutes. This would be good service at any time but especially so as we are in the middle of a COVID lockdown.

Company always prompt and young guy who fixed the leaking loo did a great job. Used many times and never disappointed, paid by cheque, cash or though the bank online all easy enough to do.

Been calling the phone number every day for two weeks but it just goes voicemail. Think business is finished.

work was ok but not able to make payment over the phone which i find a bit odd and getting to bank is problematic for me, wont ever use or recommend this company to anyone because of this

Easily one if the best shops in the local area, I was always trying my best to be more eco friendly but this store has helped me take it to the next level by refilling everything from cupboard staples to my shampoo. There is so much choice, it's self service, you inly pay for what you actually want. There are some beautiful luxury goodies available too in the beauty section PLUS sweet treats and deli snacks all alongside the friendliest service. It's no wonder I'm in at least once a week... even if I don't need to refill anything, I can't walk past without buying a chocolate espresso brownie, and the cheesecakes are vegan and out if thus world!!!!!!

Fabulous place. Great to buy packaging free dry goods. And you can also get freshly prepared food to go.

Best smoothie bowls… obsessed 🤩!

Great to have an eco and refillable shop in Morpeth.

What a fabulous little shop. I don't think there was anything in there I didn't want to buy 😊 Staff very obliging, would highly recommend

This is a beautiful little store. Has a lovely selection of handmade gifts. When I had an issue with my order going missing, Jo was determined to get it resolved one way or another and got me a replacement straight away. Go in and take a look for yourselves!

Really nice gifts, award winning craft shop. Worth a visit

Good quality stock. Lovely gift ideas, Susan is extremely helpful and always offers you a warm welcome

I'm writing to you about a visit to your café in Morpeth on 29/08/2025 that left me and my friend feeling really upset and humiliated. I had popped in with my two young daughters and my friend and her daughter for a quick bite. All three kids are under four. I went up to the counter to order while my friend watched them. I tried to order a ham and cheese toastie for them, but was told you didn't have any. Then I asked for some chips, but you were out of those too. My third try was for a tuna toastie, which was also unavailable. It wasn't even 2:30 in the afternoon, so I was surprised that so much was already gone. By this point, I was flustered and could see my friend was starting to struggle with three restless, hungry toddlers. I gave up on food and just ordered some drinks so we wouldn't leave with nothing. While I was waiting for them, a member of your staff came over and told me sternly that we weren't allowed to have our own food. I tried to explain that I'd tried to buy their lunch from you first, but there was nothing for them to eat. She wasn't interested in my explanation. Then, as I was still waiting, I looked over and saw the same woman had gone over to our table. She told my friend that if we didn't put our food away, we would have to leave. She said it was "company policy" but wouldn't show us where that was written down. The kids were just eating a bit of plain cake to keep them happy because the food they actually wanted wasn't there. The whole thing was so embarrassing. It felt like we were being targeted because we had small children with us. It was as if she saw the kids and decided we were going to be trouble. I want to be very clear: we left the table spotless. The implication that we wouldn't was really hurtful. As we were gathering our things to leave, an elderly lady actually stopped me to say how awful she thought the staff member had been to us. She said she wanted to say something but didn't feel she could. That meant a lot, but it also showed us that we weren't overreacting. M&S is supposed to be a nice, family-friendly place. We come to you because we expect better. But that day, we were made to feel like a nuisance for simply trying to manage a situation that was, honestly, caused by your lack of available food. We had to take our drinks in takeaway cups and leave. What should have been a nice little treat was completely ruined. I'm really disappointed and would like to know what you're going to do about this. Thanks for listening,

I found it bizarre to be charged 10p for a flower bag in store today. Only available at the tills when paying. It's a cone shaped bag with holes, hardly reusable for anything else or do I lack imagination? Impractical to carry it just for when purchasing M&S flowers. As the flowers are wet and the greenery will stain I did not want to use my foldable bag I always carry. Bit mean I think ☹ .

Visited Marks and Spencer Morpeth on the 21st of October. I received excellent service from Kerry. It was much appreciated. Thank you.

My wife cannot go past an M&S store. It's the only place she shops in these days, even the food store which have really good dine in deals

Nice clean store and friendly staff Had exactly what I needed. 😎😎

Sadly one of M&S's small stores so choices limited. Ideal pick up for online purchases

Small size limits products displayed, particularly mens clothes. Convenient location close to free parking and bus station. Good quality fruit and other grocery items but space is limited so Ideal for a top up shop. Care is needed when buying products with a shelf discount for multiple purchases as it's not always clear/applied at the tills.

Terrible service. Damaged my husband's watch. Scratched it while trying to replace battery which they didn't own up to. Won't recommend and won't ever use again. If you can't do the job just say so instead of saying "I should be able to" or "I will try". The damage was pointed out by a reputable jewellers nearby who replaced the battery with no problems and £13 cheaper. I didn't go back to the jewellers as I didn't want them suggesting a repair maybe? Didn't want them keeping the watch or sending it away. I told my husband to go into the jewellers and point out the damage they had done but as the Jewellers Guild had done such a good job he didn't want to. Lesson learnt!

Such a lovely experience today with Catherine! She pierced mine and my daughter’s ears. We made an appointment in advance so had already been in to speak to her and discuss our options & prices. Lovely choice of studs to choose from that range in price. Catherine was so friendly, supportive & professional. Thank you again!

Great service and experience. Ears pierced by Catherine, she was very professional and the whole process was professional and luxurious. The piercings are healing well and problem free showing good hygiene and procedures. Would recommend.

Fantastic range of items, truly something for all tastes. Lots of high quality and unusual things all in good condition (i.e. no junk) and well priced. Staff very helpful but not at all pushy. Setting only enhances the experience. Very clean and well kept - the best place like this I have visited in a while. There's so much to see this is a worthwhile destination by itself. It's also worthwhile noting that as of May 2025 work is going on to add a Coffee shop giving you a place to recharge for even more bargain hunting!! There's no toilets there at the moment

Absolutely fabulous place to visit! Not only is the building amazing but there is such a great collection of interesting curiosities! From retro games, taxidermy, collectibles, vintage furniture and so much more! We spent a couple of hours exploring every nook and cranny but still felt like we hadn’t seen everything this place has to offer. Staff were very friendly and helpful with the queries we had! The pooches behind the counter were an added bonus! Free parking to the rear is also an added bonus. Would highly recommend a visit and is worth a trip on its own.

First time visiting this fantastic old building and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s full of antiques, curiosities, collectibles, memorabilia etc etc - there literally is something for everyone. We spent nearly 2 hours in there and probably still missed some stuff, so we will be back and highly recommend to everyone to pay a visit.

An amazing eclectic and quirky place to visit..something for every taste..definitely not your average stuffy antique shop experience. For lovers of retro vintage a treasure trove of goodies in the Kitsch me Quick bay..take the time to look up at the ceilings too..fabulous architecture. What a fabulous revamp of a once neglected gem of a building. Apparently they are opening a coffee shop soon too..all the more reason to make it a regular destination. Whenever I visit there is always something new to see too

Absolutely excellent place in a historic building you have to look up. Lots of treasures with a good variety of stock and sellers and prices. Have bought lots of lovely things. Leave lots of time for browsing all the sellers and rooms. Staff are lovely and friendly and awaiting to help you with your purchases. Don’t forget to say hello to the fur babies. Go check it out.

What a find? This place is tucked away in what seems to be an old church/apartment building. You would never guess what was inside. I could spend hours in here milling and marveling in all their goodies. If you’re close by, check it out.

My favourite shop! Theres always something new when you go and so much to explore. Theres paintings, fur coats, taxidermy, crystals, statues, collectables and more - the list goes on and on.

This is a fantastic little sweet shop with a wide selection of products, including those retro sweets we used to eat as kids, so this store is great for kids and adults too. The only negative is it feels a little sterile, lacking imagination in terms of shop decor and atmosphere. I think that they have missed a trick from this perspective. We will definitely be going back - four stars.

Very good food and very good drinks, but there’s one worker who practically shouted at me because I was out of zone when she asked if I wanted a bag and then I asked and she shouted at me, but everyone else was amazing.

Came in just before closing rude staff couldnt care less about the customer wasnt even closing time and i was just wantinng something else quicky and she said “well be quick then you wouldnt like it if u was at work “sorry i work 12 hour shifts and never get off on time ignorant woman very disspointed and disgusted of her attitiude

Got there 3/4 mins before 5 to be told they were closed……

It's full of sweets, what's not to like. Well, the price, tbh. I remember a lot of these, Parma violets (ugh) included, being cheap as chips. These aren't, but I understand why.

A small well priced sweet shop. Staff are very friendly and stock a good selection of prepacked and pick your own sweet.

Fantastic selection of sweets, great service.. worth the visit. Also a huge Vegan selection as well as old classics..

An absolute treasure trove of a shop. The staff are very friendly & the array of goods on offer is amazing. Doesn't have the musty smell a lot of antique have. Its a shame I don't live nearer as would be in there every week. Will definitely be back for more when I am back in the North East

Bigger than you think!! Very good selection of antiques and well priced. Came away with some lovely items. And the staff were lovely. Don’t be scared to ask for prices, you’ll be surprised on value. We’ll worth a visit on our antique journey home.

Fantastic collection of antique items. I got this cute trinket box from the shop last year, and am very happy with the purchase. The staff were friendly too.

Small ,pokey and full of tat More like a car boot junk sale , and way over priced ,saw a small wooden white hanging " shabby chic" painted heart priced at £15 ish ,i bought exactly the same heart from The Range a year ago it was £3.99 !!!! Wont be going again

Wide range of stock, nice people running the store, certainly worth a visit, we get in around twice a month.

Wonderful collection of antiques curios and objects- something for everyone at reasonable prices. Very helpful and pleasant staff - well worth a visit when in Morpeth

Great antique centre with a good variety of items ranging from vynals to jewellery. Well layed out making it easy to navigate around the centre. Good prices and excellent staff very helpful and friendly.
