Jack's Takeaway

Sat right in the heart of Alston, England's highest market town perched high in the wild North Pennines, this friendly little spot is the sort of place locals duck into for a quick, no-fuss bite. It trades as a takeaway sandwich shop, building fresh rolls, filled baguettes and hot snacks to order for walkers, workers and anyone after a fast lunch on the go without any fuss or long waits.

Reassuringly, it holds a Food Hygiene Rating of 4 (Good) from its most recent inspection, so you can grab your Bacon Roll or a stack of sandwiches with real confidence. Thanks to its handy town-centre position, it makes an easy stop whether you are wandering the cobbled streets and old market square, heading off along the South Tyne valley, or simply need something warm and filling before the long drive home across the high moorland roads.
