About The Paddocks Tea Room
On College Farm in Scunthorpe, The Paddocks Tea Room is a tea room and breakfast restaurant open for walk-ins throughout the day. The menu runs from a full English Breakfast to lighter orders, with the fish finger sandwich listed as the "posh fish finger butty" alongside a ploughman's platter as a recurring lunch choice. Home made cakes and scones round out the counter, including a cherry and almond cake and a toasted fruit loaf, with Turkish coffee and a cafe latte to drink. Seating is set both indoors and outside, giving the option of outdoor dining. A step-free entrance allows access for visitors with mobility needs, and dogs are welcomed inside the tea room.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the home made cakes, with the cherry and almond cake named repeatedly, alongside a raspberry and lemon sponge, a blueberry and lemon slice and the scones. Close behind are the cooked dishes: the ploughman's, a posh fish finger butty, a Christmas dinner in a Yorkshire pudding, a roast dinner, and breakfasts with excellent scrambled eggs on toast and bacon and sausage sandwiches. Several mention a good mocha and coffee. Staff are described as friendly and accommodating, with one manager making a breakfast after the breakfast menu had closed and a cycling group welcomed right on closing time. The outdoor seating and quiet village setting near local walks come up often, and one reviewer praises how dog-friendly it is. The one critical review says toast ordered well done arrived looking barely toasted and calls the cake a bit amateurish. Another reviewer's regular visitor, an elderly man with learning difficulties, goes happily to see the staff.

“Wonderful dog-friendly spot with excellent food! We had a fantastic visit to The Paddocks Tea Room. The atmosphere inside is incredibly warm, welcoming, and relaxed. It is brilliantly dog-friendly, which is always a massive plus for us—our dog Max absolutely loved it and felt right at home! The seating is super comfortable, and the staff were incredibly accommodating and sweet with him. For lunch, we ordered the Ploughman’s, and it did not disappoint. It was beautifully presented, packed with delicious, fresh, and high-quality ingredients, and offered a really generous portion size. The service was prompt and friendly throughout, despite the team being busy preparing fresh food and coffees. Whether you're stopping by after a local walk or just looking for a lovely countryside cafe with great food and top-tier hospitality for your furry friends, this place is highly recommended. We will definitely be back! Pros = Extremely dog-friendly inside and out, fresh local food, lovely atmosphere, and brilliant service.”
