Doolally, Berwick-Upon-Tweed

Doolally, Berwick Hidden away on Bridge Street in lovely Berwick is the equally lovely Doolally.

It certainly lives up to its name. Continental-style chairs sit incongruously alongside garish flowery table-cloths. The busy walls (which include local notices and posters) complement the general feeling that this was cobbled together without too much care.

But don't get me wrong! It's just lovely, and certainly intentional. It fits together perfectly like a good budget film.

It is also very relaxing, friendly, and completely and utterly non-pretentious. Well, there is one thing that's a little pretentious: the "café bistro" title, so given because of the expensive cuisine.

As well as expensive dinner options there are light bites and plenty of cakes and scones. It's still possible to sit with a coffee at most times of day. When it's quiet, it's very charming.
