Ellis's Tearoom - Charnwood

I went for lunch and received a warm welcome. The service was excellent, and the food was fresh. I will definitely be coming back soon and will also be recommending this restaurant to others.

We typically enjoy a lovely breakfast at this restaurant, but our last visit on June 25th was disappointing. The vegetarian sausage and hash browns appeared to be deep fried, leaving everything sitting in a pool of fat. We were very disappointed considering the total cost of nearly £18 for one regular and one vegetarian breakfast, along with a mug of tea and a coffee. Hopefully, the quality of cooking improves in the future.

We dined indoors and were served food and drinks in disposable polystyrene containers, including the scones, which was unexpected for a tea room. We ordered a sausage sandwich that came with butter without being asked if we wanted it. Even the scone with jam and cream was served in a plastic container with a lid. Both my husband and I felt ill afterwards, experiencing stomach issues that began in the afternoon after eating the sandwich. This lasted for 2-3 days. We will not be coming back here. The staff did not seem friendly, and we were disappointed with the overall experience.

We had a group afternoon tea at Ellis 's Tea Room, at Rothley Station on the GCR heritage railway line on Sunday 26th September, and it was amazing, there were 17 of us, and we had the tearoom extension as our 'party room ', the food was absolutely delicious, there was plenty to drink, hot and cold drinks and the staff were lovely. A massive thank you to Tearoom Manager June Le Gallais and her team for all their hard work to make this an afternoon to remember. We will definitely be booking another group afternoon tea here soon!

What a fabulous place for afternoon tea. A cosy welcoming cafe with spacious outside seating close to the steam trains and beautiful Edwardian station. I cannot recommend this cafe enough for a very enjoyable afternoon tea, one of the best We have had. Unlike some afternoon tea’s you most certainly will not be going home hungry, sandwiches, sausage rolls, cakes and scones with cream all delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive, no shortage of tea. For saying how busy they were service time was excellent.
