During a really hot spell this summer, we ventured out to this tearoom with the hope of supporting some of our local businesses. So often we will get coffee from big High Street chains, and we had often walked past this tearoom and thought how lovely it looked. Sadly, we were rather disappointed. They offered no dairy-free milk options for drinks, and they didn’t do iced coffees (in the height of summer! . So after a walk down in the blistering heat, we ended up buying one hot coffee and a rather overpriced bottled soft drink, as this was the only vegan-friendly option on offer. The food menu was also lacking vegan-friendly options, with perhaps a butterless jacket potato with beans being the only viable choice. Furthermore, we were only able to get a seat outside right by the door, where we were constantly crowded by regulars rudely having a conversation across us, and smokers blowing cigarette smoke right in our direction. We really wanted to support our independent local businesses, but when the menu options just can’t offer what we need, it looks like we will sadly have to stick with big High Street chains until places like this can catch up and cater to the ever-growing needs/demands/requirements of the consumers.

Fantastic food, staff and prices. They come to the table to take your order, food is piping hot and delicious

I discovered this wonderful tearoom after visiting a local festival. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent, the decor was lovely, and the breakfast was beautiful. It's a shame we don't live nearby, because the rest of the menu looked fantastic and I would definitely be trying more dishes.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious Sunday Lunch takeaway from this restaurant today. We both ordered the roast beef and were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. The food came in microwaveable dishes, but since we live nearby, it was still hot when we got home. We also ordered homemade desserts, with my husband choosing the sticky toffee pudding and me opting for the bread and butter pudding. The staff were friendly and we will definitely be ordering from here again. We highly recommend supporting this local business during these challenging times.
