Lily's Secret Vintage Tearoom

I order afternoon tea delivered to my elderly parent home as a treat. What arrived was a box of cakes that 's it for about £34 (can 't remember the exact cost but that doesn 't matter. No sandwiches, no pastries just cakes! Granted, enough of them to make 2 people feel sick. Phoned and complained but got a 'that 's what it is ' response. Was told the owner would ring me but predictably she didn 't. Anywhere that has as many negative ratings as good ones sends out a warning, pity I didn 't see them before ordering.

Had tried to visit this place previously but think we were too early so delighted to find it open this time, lovely riverside setting and a very good menu. The smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel was delicious and very reasonably priced. A lovely place by the river to enjoy a relaxed lunch on a sunny day. There is quite a bit of space and some shade for those who don’t like the sun, a wide choice of food and drink and reasonably priced. My friend that was with me asked about Lily and she is alive and well and living above together shop!

The tea room was gentle and the food added to a perfect day. Good vibes from the rooms and staff. I recommend you try for yourself.

I like what they are trying to do here. The tea/ cakes are good. Sadly some of the old/vintage china has had better days. But a nice place on a wet afternoon when your sick to death of afternoon TV.

I enjoyed a super lunch at Lily's today ... delicious minted soup (which Sarah had made with multi-seeded bread and butter, loose leaf Earl Grey tea and a slice of beautifully moist damson and Earl Grey tea cake. (I was spoilt for choice with the cakes and tarts so I took a piece of damson and apple tart home with me! Highly recommended.
