  “Our 1st time at the tearooms on this beautiful, sunny, September lunchtime. We were visiting the area and wanted a spot of lunch at a family run tearooms. We had the crispy chicken wrap and the brie and bacon panini. Gosh they were both delicious, side salad was lovely a fresh. Portion sizes were so big. We were made to feel so very welcome. The homemade cakes looked delicious. We sat outside in the garden in the sunshine. Will mostly definitely visit again when back in the area. Thank you for a lovely lunch and welcoming atmosphere”

  “HUGE portions of quality tasty food and clearly very popular with the more elderly for their golden oldies menu. Really varied and good menu. There was quite a long wait for food but we were a group of 6 and there was another group of 8 that ordered just before us so fairly standard for a smaller place. The only issue with access is it's just beyond the train line which genuinely took about 20 minutes to get through as when the barriers come down they're down for nearly 10 minutes but nothing the tearoom can do about that! Just maybe avoid if you're in a hurry.”

  “Beautiful quirky place. Lovely lady on the front of house was really welcoming and friendly. My friend and I had a lovely chat with her about Dogs. The young lady cook made great food. My friend had the bacon and egg sarnie on tiger bread which was stunning and well worth the price, wish I had opted for this once I clapped eyes on it. It was loaded with thick bacon and 2 big yellow yolkie fried eggs that were cooked to absolute perfection. Great quality ingredients were clearly used. I had a cherry and almond scone which was delicious and one of the nicest scones i have ever tried. The coffee is amazing! Smooth and delicious. I am a bit of a coffee snob and am very fussy about my fresh coffee and could not fault my Americano one bit. Some other people were eating breakfasts which looked really really good and well presented, even the vegetarian breakie with halloumi looked worth a try. We are not from this area and were only passing through but will be sure to call in again if ever near by. Great place to eat with friendly locals and staff. There is even a bar serving a great selection of beers and spirits so breakie and pint is also on offer if your in the mood, bonus!”

  “Bought myself a take away emotional support cake to cheer me up after a crappy day and this place did not disappoint! I got a Victoria sponge cake and it was huge! Great price too and tasted so good! Will definitely be back”

  “Beautiful just beautiful. Took my friend for birthday lunch and she was having a really crappie day but staff brought her a free cake with a candle and sang happy birthday. Then our friend wasn't well at home and we had some ham leftover n Rachel the manager made her a massive sandwich at no cost. They do quiz on Friday night but you need to book. It's not a massive place but has a gorgeous courtyard. Can't rate this highly enough xx”

  “The food was absolutely delicious! And the staff we're so friendly and attentive. I visited on a Thursday and it was 2 for 1 cocktails and acoustic night, the musician was really talented and funny, it was a great atmosphere. The cocktails we're freshly made and tasted amazing and a bargain with them being 2 for 1. I would definitely visit again!”

  “Been looking forward to this for weeks....Table booked for 13:30 but asked to get there for 13:15 as they had a big party coming. The four of us arrived at 13:15 and were seated, well actually we seated ourselves as he took a while to come back to us. We all ordered afternoon tea, which took a bit of ordering because the waitress wasn't entirely sure about the fillings and had to go away and find out. You would think it would be fairly quick at coming out seeing as it's all cold, wrong, we still hadn't had a pot of tea on the table 45 minutes later 🤨 when the waiter brought the cups they were dirty with tea ring stains so had to be sent back, and the tea was tepid so had to ask for an actual hot pot of tea grrr. When the sandwiches and cake arrived they looked amazing 😍 shame the bread was turning stale, obviously left out, done enough complaining by this time so got stuck in regardless. Fillings were lovely and the cake was good too, massive slice! Afterwards we fancied cocktails but the coffee machine wasn't working so no martini espresso, at that point we called it a day and asked for the bill which obviously took another 20 minutes!! Felt a bit sorry for the lass who took payment and asked "was everything ok" 😂😂😂 NO!”
