Customer Review Summary

Afternoon tea, cakes, and scones draw the most praise, described as freshly made and beautifully presented, with the carrot cake singled out by one reviewer as a must for fans of it. Close behind, breakfast gets consistent mentions, particularly the sausage and egg muffin and the full English, along with gluten free options for both bread and biscuits that reviewers appreciated. Several also note the steak and ale pie with mash and mushy peas as a lunch standout, though one reviewer found the toasted cheese sandwich hard, and another warns that sandwiches and some lunch items can be underwhelming for the price compared to the sweets. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and service is often described as speedy. The main recurring caveat is space and crowding, with several reviewers noting it gets busy on weekends and seating is limited, and one diner mentioning a cold draft near the door whenever it opened. One reviewer highlights that afternoon tea can be ordered without booking ahead.

    “Delightful tea rooms with excellent service. We enjoyed a full English and an egg muffin. A good gluten free option on the breakfast too. It does get busy though but I guess that’s because the food is good”

  • PHIL EAMES
    “A lovely place for breakfast, the sausage and egg muffin is excellent, really tasty sausages and wonderful poached eggs. Can get busy, oddly busier in the week than at weekends, very friendly staff. Not cheap but good value for what you get. This is properly made and cooked food, not fast food slop”
