The only place to eat in the Bishop Auckland area. Pizza obviously which is AMAZING! Cocktails, breakfast and much more. Even have a nice selection of sanitary products and deodorant- little things.

I've been dying to try this place for months and finally got my chance for breakfast. Annoyingly we've spent our time heading to durham for breakfast. Wasting time with parking, traffic and crowded cafes. Breakfast at Knead A slice had none of that and offered a much more relaxed dining experience. The cafe has a modern vibe, fantastic coffee, a great beer selection and a menu that's brilliant. The food is well prepared and of a good quality. We will be returning for breakfast and we'll leave durham to the students.

I always wanted to try here as could smell the food even driving past and smelt amazing but we tried and thought the atmosphere was not really there and the food although home cooked we thought quite bland. Garlic doughballs didn't taste of garlic, donner pizza, the donner was very dry and for the money should be better as pretty expensive I'm afraid.

We have been going to here for years! Usually for breakfast after a lovely walk around bishops park. This is because KAS is super dog friendly! Their breakfasts are fantastic I always go for a cooked breakfast, it has very generous portions but doesn’t skimp on quality products. I tried their rarebit and could not finish the portion! My wife experiments more, the overnight oats are her favourite, not gloopy, really fresh! We finally tried their pizza, although personally I felt it didn’t live up to the excellent breakfast my wife loved it, thin base kept it light and the pasta special along with it was great! You should go!!!

Nice little café in Bishop Auckland. If you enjoy traditional English breakfasts then I'd recommend their Big Boy Breakfast. You will not leave hungry or unhappy. Quick service and reasonable value. Definitely worth a visit.

Looking for a vegan brunch on a cold Bank Holiday Monday in Bishop Auckland was beginning to look like a fool's errand, when we came across Knead A Slice. While nothing was marked as vegan, the team were very helpful in showing us what could be made vegan and in fact have us plenty of options. We both had the vegan All Day Breakfast plus coffee. Everything was excellent and clearly freshly cooked. Our dog was welcomed too and the general ambience was great. Highly recommended.

Stumbled upon this delight. Fluffy and light pizzas. A wide range of toppings. Lovely drinks. Reasonable prices. You can order using a QR code and the food comes quickly. It’s a really decent spot.
