Our Customers

Don’t take our word for it.

30 years of five-star reviews from customers across the North East.

Used Frameworks framing service and found them first class. I previously had a t-shirt framed a couple of years ago and they did such a good job that I returned with a print. I had to rely on the expertise of the staff to help me and they offered lots of styles and I settled on a frame and double border. I'm over the moon with the results.

Fantastic staff, fantastic cakes, fantastic coffee. Overall... fantastic! The decor is like being in a beautiful cafe somewhere in Italy. Lovely place.

Gorgeous shop selling so many beautiful things. Unexpected Aladdin's cave of treasures upstairs too. Could have quite easily spent hundreds of pounds here. Fabulous!

Benjamin Ellerby2024

We had three pictures framed at Frameworks and are absolutely delighted with the quality of the work, which was outstanding. The highly professional staff take time and care to help with the choice of frames. Work was completed within two weeks and at a very reasonable price.

Good coffee served in an amazing shop. You can find some unusual, beautiful items for your home including lamps, individual furniture and pictures. A lovely shop to browse through then enjoy a snack in the cafe area.

Great service, excellent menu and friendly atmosphere. We've visited several times and have never been disappointed. Would thoroughly recommend.

I had an oil painting stretched and framed here recently. Very impressed and will use again. Thoroughly recommend. Staff were excellent, from desk staff to delivery man, and the workmanship was excellent.

A fine cafe with pleasant staff and quality food not far from the bus station and harbour. You may be there when music is played on the piano, or wander up the magnificent staircase to view furnishings for sale.

Brian Usher2023

We went in by chance during our wedding anniversary week and the wonderful pianist played a favourite of ours. Just for us. The place is spotless, the food glorious and the atmosphere superb. Very highly recommended.

I had a vintage poster framed here. Very happy with the finished job. Would recommend, no worries.

Colin PorterJune 2025

Good value for money, good choice on menu, staff friendly. Would recommend booking a table for lunch. In the afternoon you may be lucky enough to be there when the piano is being played.

A beautifully stocked and equipped shop with expert staff who gave good advice and framed my prints beautifully. I am delighted with the results. They have some lovely prints and pictures for sale as well as an eclectic range of stock. There is also a very pleasant cafe.

Elizabeth Bohill2019

Lovely place, food and friendly staff. Would recommend to anybody passing through. On a Monday there is live piano playing which is so lovely to sit and listen to.

MarySeptember 2021

Always friendly and very professional. They have framed all my mother's paintings and every single one has been perfect. As a place to go for a present there is nowhere better, and the things I have bought have been loved all across Europe.

Sylvia Wallis2020

Very nice atmosphere. Great for people watching. Food great with sensible portion size. Will definitely come again, especially with my dad (88). Thanks for a very unhurried meal. Live music, piano player in the corner.
