Hexham Abbey has opened the doors of the new Refectory Café at the heart of a major redevelopment of its former monastic complex.
The menu offers light lunches and teatime treats made on the premises with local produce and Fair Trade ingredients. There are tempting quiches, comforting soups, freshly baked scones and delicious cakes, and when the weather allows you can sit outside in the abbey’s herb garden.
