Lewis & Cooper - Northallerton

Jazz

Goodness me! Me and my mother came here for lunch as we love the shop downstairs - as soon as you come upstairs, it’s a dark and empty carpeted room, then we went and sat by the window next to a bizarre huge cartoon cardboard figure. Anyway! Ordered soup and toasties - my mum asked for vegan cheese which they had, but she wanted literally anything else in the sandwich too as vegan cheese alone is not great, we were told no as ‘there’s no time to start cutting onions at this time’… we were one of the two tables in. I asked for fresh juice, definitely from a carton, and the soup was topped with some sort of vegetable crisps which was a bit odd? My sandwiches were stale, on the wrong bread that I asked for, and didn’t reflect the lovely artisan quality of the downstairs shop. I didn’t feel like the staff would be interested in changing these mistakes or have time despite the cafe being silent and empty by that point. Just a disappointing, below-average cafe unfortunately. Maybe look into using fresher ingredients and providing napkins instead of the weird paper towels with stains on them and rips, and a detached glass panel on the table. The younger staff seemed lovely and it has lots of potential…….. 🙂

Had a look round the shop, some nice things but a bit pricey. Had a pot of tea and a ham and mustard sandwich, the coleslaw was watery but it was tasty. Again the menu quite overpriced for simple lunch choices.

A pot of tea served charmingly at Lewis and Cooper, after guided to a good window seat in this upstairs tea room, began a first visit which continued to prove I found my Top Notch Tea Room in Northallerton. None of its locally sourced cakes and teas, including the scrummy Fruit Cake, disappointed. And downstairs the Foodhall equally excelled in customer service, product knowledge and cleanliness. So impressed I joined the L&C Loyalty Card scheme... More reason to revisit. Thank you staff for your intelligent, caring and discreet service. An absolute find in Northallerton. I will be back. Sorry no lift or easy access for those with limited movement.

Anyone shopping in Northallerton absolutely has to pop in here - I do frequently. Wonderful selection of local food and drinks. A refreshing change from the supermarkets. Sure, they can undercut on price for similar generic products, but if you want local quality...

The "tea room" is tired, freezing cold, and overpriced. It is in desperate need of modernisation. The vegetarian breakfast offers soggy vegetable sausages (you know the sort: bits of carrot and peas in mashed up mush). And the drinks are an outrageous price.
Better off going to one of the other places in Northallerton.

Wow, what can I say.

This shop is packed with items not nomally found in other food shops.

Cakes, jams, a vast rage of cheeses and meats, spices, wines and fish.

Will take you at lest 30 minutes to wall round and view what Lewis & cooper have to offer.

If in the area I highly recommend visiting the shop.

We recently purchased both a jar of Lewis andCoopers own brand Dijon style mustard and Horseradish sauce from your Northallerton shop. What a disappointment! As the taste bears no relationship to the original flavours why are they so bland? I did notice on the same shelf you also sold Maille which would have a superior purchase for less!

Staff unhelpful and rude, tried to purchase items and a gift box , was told I couldn’t and it needed to be wrapped by staff which would take 30mins to an hour - world gone mad, I’m capable of wrapping my own gifts , the gift box (a paper box £12.99 already - the gift box on sale already wrapped was £80 with about 8 items in !! I’ve used this shop at Christmas for last ten years that will be the last !
