Our award-winning breakfasts include a diverse range to suit all palates including vegetarians and vegans. Quality, locally sourced produce is used on our menu.  We are very proud to be members of the Produced in Northumberland accredited scheme which supports our excellent, independent suppliers and producers in the region.

Breakfast is served at one large table, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Breakfast times are 8.00, 8.30, 9.00 and 9.30 am. We ask that your breakfast and chosen time is ordered the night before to ensure that it is served freshly-cooked-to-order and to your exact requirements. In addition to our cooked variety, we provide a substantial, seasonal freshly prepared fruit selection, natural yoghurt, homemade muesli, cereals, toast and our own homemade marmalade and jams.

Bacon, sausages and black pudding are sourced from Carter’s of Bamburgh, a Rick Stein’s Food Hero.  We serve the famous Craster Kippers and smoked salmon which is sourced from L. Robson & Sons and cured in traditional smokehouses with oak chippings. Our bread is from a local, family-run bakery and free-range eggs are also from a local farm in Detchant. In addition to the cooked variety, we offer fresh, seasonal fruit, natural yoghurt, fruit juices, cereals and toast, together with a selection of Ringtons teas or `Daily Bread’ roasted and freshly-ground coffee, from Pilgrims Coffee on Holy Island.

We are vegan and vegetarian friendly. Gluten-free, coeliac and dairy-free diets are also catered for. Please inform us with any special dietary requirements on booking, so we can obtain any necessary ingredients, therefore tailored to your individual needs.

Please note: If you require an early breakfast due to travelling on business, half-marathon events etc, then please discuss this with us prior to making a reservation as we cannot always accommodate these requests.

Our breakfast room was formerly the kitchen in Victorian/early 20th Century times, retaining the original sandstone surround for the former cooking Range which in recent years, houses a cosy Jøtul wood burning stove, lit in the colder months.

The former role of Post Office House is acknowledged with vibrant post box fabric at the large window overlooking the courtyard.  Our wacky wing-back armchair also has characteristic postage stamp fabric and Union Jack scatter cushions!

At Post Office House, we are avid supporters of shopping locally and keen to be as environmentally friendly where possible to reduce food mileage and waste. This also helps our small, independent businesses, market towns and local economy to thrive.  This applies also to recycling; paper, plastic, bottles, tins, cardboard and garden waste are recycled. We also re-use newspapers – for lighting our two stoves and also very useful for stuffing wet walking boots!

All our marmalade, jams and muesli are homemade on the premises. The fruit used to make our jams are very local! Blackberries are hand-picked by ourselves, from the wild bushes in and around Belford in the Autumn season and raspberries/strawberries are handpicked by us in the summer months from a local farm.  Our ground coffee from Pilgrims, is delivered to us in large reusable plastic tubs.  When we need more, the `refillables’ come in biodegradable packets which can be composted.
