Our Story
The Barn at Beal has a rich history, originally built as a cart shed and barn in the early 19th century. In 2008, it was transformed into a coffee shop and restaurant, making the most of its stunning coastal location. Then, in 2022, Jackie took the reins, turning The Barn at Beal into a woman-run, family-led business with a fresh vision. Today, it’s a place where locals and visitors alike come together to enjoy great food, warm hospitality, and the breathtaking views over to Holy Island.
Nestled on the breathtaking Northumberland coast, just off the causeway to Holy Island, our restaurant is a place where good food, great company, and stunning views come together.
Whether you're stopping by for a relaxed meal, a drink with friends, or a coffee overlooking the coastline, you'll always find a warm welcome.
At The Barn at Beal, we celebrate local ingredients, simple but delicious flavours, and a friendly atmosphere that makes every visit special.

Pop in for a freshly brewed coffee, a pot of tea, or a silky cappuccino – the perfect pick-me-up. Pair it with a homemade cake, a Border Tart, or a freshly baked scone.

These protected areas are carefully preserved, ensuring the wild beauty of the coast can be enjoyed for generations to come.
From our terrace, you’ll take in sweeping panoramic views - Goswick Sands stretching to the north, Holy Island and Lindisfarne Castle rising from the east, and the Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle standing proud to the south. Whether you're here for a meal, a drink, or just a moment of stillness, it’s the perfect place to soak in the magic of Northumberland’s coast.
