Welcome

A warm welcome to The Copper Kettle


Home-baking, proper cream teas and a sun-trap garden — right in the heart of Bamburgh.

Our cakes and scones are home-baked, so there's a natural limit to what's on offer each day — and a very good reason they never last long. Pop in for a pot of tea and a warm scone, or settle in for a light lunch.

And whenever the weather's kind, take your table out to our courtyard patio garden, where dogs are always more than welcome.
