Nellys Kitchen - East Northamptonshire

A little gem hidden away. Took my mum for afternoon tea. Lovely old fashion tea set already set out cup,saucer plate) . Linda our hostess brought out a 3 tiered plate stand. Top plate was mini cakes, doughnuts and profiteroles. Middle plate was a selection of thick crustless sliced sandwiches with hearty fillings. We had tuna, cheese with red onion, sliced tomatoes and egg some plain and some with tomato. Our bottom plate had again variety of cake two of each good sizes Walnut ? , lemon, a slice of something sweet chocolatey with a bit of a crunch very tasty) and scones with jam, clotted cream. And some strawberries. We were also asked if we would like tea or coffee. We chose tea and a pot was brought out. When we needed a top up, we only had to ask and another was brought out to us. Linda our hostess also checked with us that everything was fine and also gave us a doggy bag to take home what we couldn't manage, which we needed and was a lovely consideration, with us not having ask for one. The afternoon tea was very good value for money, very filling and yes we were absolutely stuffed. The staff are very friendly and cheerful. It was very relaxing we did not feel like we had rushed. It was also very clean and tidy. Even though it was cold outside, it was lovely and warm inside. Just remember it is easier to book in advance, also you can let staff know any dietary needs.

Paid a visit to use the driving range which isn't to bad some of the bays showing some wear and tear. Have to load up a card in the cafe where you can get takeaway hot and cold drinks. They also have a comprehensive breakfast menu which you can eat in their cafe area not big but sufficient, they also have a brunch menu with baked pots. Didn't have anything to eat but looked quite reasonable.

I’ve driven past many times and the signs are inviting, so my friend and I popped in for lunch. The cafe is a small area next to the golf range. Lots of tables and chairs squashed in. A basic menu of breakfasts and lunch items was available all cooked to order. I asked if they had gluten free bread to be told their really wasn’t a call for it !! The ladies were nice and the food freshly cooked. It really is just like a road side cafe, no frills.

Booked for today and where greeted warmly by friendly and polite staff. The Cheese afternoon tea was a delight with a selection of 4 cheeses warm crusty rolls sausage rolls and small quiche and then scones with jam and cream, we were given the option of tea or coffee. Nice location and will be going again and may have something different. All presented nicely and the price was very good value for what was served.

We pitched up mid morning when most were having the full English, but we had coffee and a bacon baguette with garnish; it was good.
