Great place and insanely cheap! Friendliest service you'll ever find too. I'm really surprised that other reviews are complaining about the prices being fluid. They are still so so cheap and if that's the trade-off to support a small, local café then so be it. We got bacon butties that were freshly cooked to order and cooked however we wanted the bacon (crispy of course!) and loads of choice of extras and sauces etc. There are loads of great pictures of Blaydon from over a hundred years ago and it was fascinating to look around. I was really impressed and the food was delicious so I'll definitely be back!
