  “Terrible service. We arrived without booking - given table and told quite abruptly to order breakfast by 11 (this was 10.30 so we had plenty of time). We were waiting for a friend stuck in traffic and said no problem, if we don’t order in time we’ll have cakes instead. Waitress kept abruptly coming and reminding us to order. We said we will order despite our friend not making it in time - waitress said ‘it’s the last time I’m coming to take a food order’. We had never asked her to come over. And we had made it clear we didn’t mind if we couldn’t make the order in time. When we ordered the cheese on toast from child’s menu, waitress said ‘what- instead of beans??’ Even though it was a meal on the menu. We felt like we were an inconvenience to the waitress the whole time even though we just ordered a few coffees and breakfast. Attitude was unwelcoming and rude every time she came over to us, which was a lot - unnecessarily so. It wasn’t busy. We weren’t loud and didn’t make a mess. After we ate, the waitress came and said ‘I don’t know if anyone’s told you, but we need this table in ten minutes’ so we had to rush and leave. Didn’t see anyone arriving for the table after we left and no reserved signs etc. Person at the till was just as abrupt. Not sure what we did to be made to feel that way as it didn’t look as though other parties were being treated in the same manner. Shame as the food was lovely.”

  “We decided to go to the tea room for breakfast after a few months of not attending. To say we were met by a pleasant young lady with blonde hair in a pony tail was an understatement , and came across quite aggressive, we requested a table for 2 which she said would be fine , to then to be told we need this table in 2hrs , I was not planning staying all day let alone 2hrs, it took 10minutes before we were served, young lady was very pleasant and helpful, however we observed the same young lady telling several others in the tea room table needed in 2hrs, lots of disgruntled customers . If this is your new policy then surly it would be far better to put up a customer notice to explain this and why. We there at 9 so lunch menu not till after 11/11-30. We wont be back.”

  “What a phenomenal place with amazing service, and very kid-friendly! Hands-down the best bacon we’ve had all this time, and I can highly recommend the avocados on toast with smoked salmon. The place has a breathtaking view of the countryside out back, and is surprisingly calm and serene. We were travelling through with two tired kids and everybody was so lovely - the staff was so on the ball and made sure everybody felt welcome, they had toys for the kids and helped keeping them entertained. A true hidden gem!”

  “Stopped off for a bite with friends and was wonderfully surprised at the team room. We were met with a lovely staff member and seated quickly. Menus arrived shortly afterwards and our drinks orders taken, whilst we chose our food orders. The food arrived quickly and was beautifully presented and delicious. The pricing was very reasonable with an adult meal and drinks for under £15. The service, staff, food and atmosphere were all top class and we were very happy with our visit. There are also a number of bespoke shops outside of the team rooms well worth a visit. I would have no hesitation in recommending the tea rooms and shops for a bite to eat and a wander, they were both fabulous!”

  “Very nice spacious little cafe with excellent menu. Just off the A14. Northamptonshire. Gluten free options on offer are fab, not often you get options. Food all freshly prepared and good selection from breakfast & lunch to afternoon tea which was delicious! Nicest scones I've had. Indoor & outdoor seating areas with super sunny countryside views. Very nice indeed. Gravel surface main parking but also a decent road stretch at the entrance too. There are some independent little shops, antique centre & garden centre too.”

  “We stopped in for tea and a Bakewell cake, and it was a really lovely experience. Even though the place was busy, everything felt calm and well organised, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our visit. The Bakewell cake was fantastic – fresh, light, and full of flavour, with just the right balance of sweetness. It was exactly what you hope for from a classic Bakewell, clearly well made and served nicely. The tea was spot on too, hot and refreshing, and arrived promptly despite how busy it was at the time. What really stood out was the service. Staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly working hard to keep things running smoothly. Orders were taken efficiently, and nothing felt rushed or chaotic, even with plenty of customers coming and going. Tables were being cleared regularly and the overall atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. It’s always a good sign when a place can stay on top of things during peak times, and this one managed it really well. Great food, great service, and a relaxed experience, even when busy. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would happily come back again for another tea and cake stop.”

  “Lovely place with equally lovely, and friendly, staff. Very nice coffee, great selection of hot and cold food. I stumbled across here whilst out on my bike, riding a loop out of Kettering. Well worth a visit.”

  “Lovely spot! The food was fresh and filling and the atmosphere was very cosy! The coffee portions are very generous and I would recommend the veggie special! The has browns were also a standout but would have liked 1/2 more in a portion.”

  “We visited Glebe Farm Tea Room on 27/06/2025 at around 1pm, it was a completely spontaneous visit after googling places to eat in Kettering while visiting the area and we're so glad we found it! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles and friendly, polite staff, despite the tea room being quite busy. We asked if we could sit outside with a view overlooking the farmers' fields, and it was absolutely lovely. The food we ordered was amazing (see photos!), and even though it was busy, we only waited about 20 minutes. Everything was fresh and delicious. We highly recommend a visit , a great hidden gem with beautiful views and fantastic service.”
