Welcome

To our Cafés

Located across the North East and Cumbria

Good food and a warm welcome

We have cafés across the North East and Cumbria and we’d love to welcome you in sometime soon.

Our cafés are based on sites where the NHS provides mental health, learning disabilities and neuro-rehabilitation services and are open to the public.

We open for breakfast and lunch and offer a range of options alongside delicious coffee.

So if you are hungry, need a break or want to catch up with friends and have a coffee then we’ve got just the spot for you.

What we serve

Breakfast

Begin your morning with our hearty full English breakfast or choose from a variety of breakfast sandwiches to kick-start your day.

Lunch

Our lunch menu offers daily changing specials, ensuring there’s always something new to try. From comforting classics to innovative dishes, we cater to all tastes.

Salads

For those seeking a lighter fare, our fresh salads are a perfect choice. Opt for a salad bar experience or grab a boxed salad, freshly prepared each day.

Tea and Coffee

We serve freshly ground Ringtons coffee and have a range of teas available too.

The Ringtons story began in 1907 when their founder Samuel Smith bought a horse and cart to deliver tea and more to people at their door.

Even to this day their iconic vans are a familiar sight as they provide a personal delivery experience. 

Ringtons for Business helps cafe’s like ours to serve great tea and coffee, and we’re proud to source our products from this great local business. 

Cafe Cuthbert does not yet serve Ringtons but we are working on it!
