Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often describe the tea room as a place where staff are welcoming and patient, with regulars from a weekly stroke support group saying the team remembers names, keeps the music low or off, and treats group members with varying disabilities with care. Several families also held a funeral lunch buffet or a celebration of life in the function room, praising the plentiful food, the handling of dietary requirements, and the team opening on a day they normally close. Food gets steady praise for freshness and range, with a cheese toasty and a mix of savoury and sweet treats named, and one first-time customer was won over by a delivery order's presentation and quantity. The outdoor area and relaxed feel are also mentioned. The only criticism raised is a past complaint about not being able to use laptops, which one reviewer fully supports because it is a place for relaxation, not an office.

“Great little place. Tucked out of the way but easy to find and park. Cheese toasty was just what I needed. Very nice experience. I’d recommend.”

“We had a lunch time buffet here for about 50 people after my mums funeral. I cannot praise Stella and her wonderful team enough. From first contact Stella was helpful and accommodating. The tea room was warm and welcoming on a very cold day. We were extremely well looked after and the food was excellent with great attention to coping with any dietary requirements. Nothing was too much trouble and I would have no hesitation in recommending Sandy Lane Tea Room to anybody.”

“We recently held a celebration of my mum's life in the function room at Sandy Lane Tea Room. The room was set up beautifully and we received many compliments from guests regarding the lovely food provided by the Sandy Lane team. We were very well looked after, thank you for taking care of everyone so well, including the specific dietary requirements in our group. Highly recommended, thank you again.”
