Food and Drink at Belsay Hall
After you’ve explored Belsay Hall and Gardens, stop in at the Coach House Café by the castle for a bite to eat.
Or head back through the Quarry Gardens and make your way to the Tearoom in the hall’s original kitchen for some tasty treats.

What we offer
We make as much of our food as possible with fresh, seasonal local ingredients. Most items on our menus are freshly prepared to order.
You'll find a wide selection of delicious light meals including hot and cold sandwiches, soup and salads. Our cheese scones are particularly popular, as are our hot meat stotties, a local speciality.
A stotty is a flat, round loaf with an indentation in the top.
For something sweet, choose from cakes including carrot, lemon drizzle and Victoria sponge, or try one of our fabulous brownies.
There are also hot and cold drinks available.
There are always vegetarian options and we also provide vegan and gluten-free cakes and snacks. Highchairs, bottle-warming and children's meals are all available.
You can find allergen and nutritional information here.
