“ Lovely tea shop with great food and wonderful service. The afternoon teas were amazing and plenty enough for us all. Had to take home a doggy bag for the generous slices of cake we had left over. Highly recommend the savory cream tea with the chilli jam. ”

“ Had a buy a gift voucher and decided to try this tearoom. Can only say a hidden gem although not so hidden as was very busy. Lovely fresh sandwiches where you got to chose your own fillings. Fresh choice of homemade scones which generous amounts of clotted cream and home made jam. This was topped off with a slice of homemade cake again of your own choice. A very quirky little tearoom which I'd highly recommend ”

“ I have had two birthday afternoon teas here, one a few years ago and one yesterday. Both of the visits were lovely. Yesterday, I went with my 9 month old daughter and mother, the lovely staff supplied a chair-top booster seat and our waitress was so, so helpful. The sandwiches were delicious, the scones and cakes were amazing and we took the leftovers home in a box for later. Very highly recommended ”
