Penny Black Victorian Tea Room

Stopped in for some lunch today and had the ploughman's platter and the chocolate dream cake. The food tasted amazing, and the chocolate cake, in particular, was to die for.

I had the most amazing chocolate cake made for my daughters 3rd birthday! The cake was honestly the best chocolate cake ever!! And Lauren the colour that we choose was absolutely beautiful !! You guys were amazing to deal with super easy! and I had a very excited happy little girl. Thank you so much James Lauren x

Came in for a high tea for my Mum's birthday and was utterly delighted. Drinks were beautifully presented love the glassware! and the tea was hot and topped up no problem. Thought we'd demolish the tasty treats in record time but ended up not finishing everything as food was delicious and very filling. Loved the cheese tarts and the little lemon meringue pies especially but everything was perfect. Staff were an absolute delight and the setting is second to none. Wonderful way to treat Mum and will definitely be back for breakfast soon. Menu looks amazing and the Paris tea is sublime.

Had the absolute pleasure of having high tea here for my grandmother's birthday the food was delicious, the presentation was amazing, and I can't fault the service at all! The nibbles looked a little small for the price but actually by the time we left, we were all happily, deliciously full. The young ladies who looked after us were so friendly and kind, and I'll absolutely be coming back for high tea again on another occasion and back for a casual cup of tea and a scone some time for sure! Everything was perfect, 10/10 experience, couldn't recommend it more

Before we leave this city, we visited here again for the best cheese scone and custard in Christchurch. Their staff was super friendly. When we told her that we received a wrong order, she smiled and gave the new food. We will keep a fond memory.
