Abbey Tea Rooms in Tewkesbury

What an absolute find. So pleased we didn’t stop along the main high street of Tewkesbury and instead headed towards the Abbey. The tea rooms are unique, and definitely worth the visit. Forget Costas/and all the run of the mill venues and support local. Our lunch was tasty, and our surroundings beautiful.

What a wonderful place! Spent most of the time just sat looking at everything in the walls hanging up. Amazing! We had the roast chicken, the meat was cooked to perfection and the vegetables also( best roasters ever!). We finished off with puddings I had the amazing banoffee pie and my wife had the Eaton mess which she called the best ever! Will be back very soon.

Just visited The Abbey Tea Rooms what an absolutely fantastic Sunday Lunch served in their very pretty garden. Could not fault the food service and value . What a treat to have proper home cooked food, piping hot. Cant wait to return.

The tea rooms is a treat for the eye. I have no idea who is doing the dusting but they're doing a great job and must be very busy! There's a lovely little garden out the back. The food is fairly priced, a good amount and tasty. The desserts are delicious! Brilliant service from the owner's grandson. Will definitely visit again when we're next in the area.

Came here by chance, we were intrigued by the interior and decided to stop for a sunday roast. And lucky we did because the food was wonderful and so were the owners who happily chatted with us after our meal! Can’t wait to be back in tewkesbury for another go!

Had a beautiful cream tea, well worth a visit to the cafe and garden. Quirky, unusual and plenty to see. It is like being transported back to childhood.

This is such a lovely, quirky place. Unassuming from outside, when you step inside you are transported back in time with all the memorabilia and artefacts from decades past. Every time you look round you see something different! The food is delicious, we shared a chicken and stuffing baguette as we were eating out that evening, but wished we'd had one each as it was so yummy! We did indulge in a cake each though, lemon drizzle and a scone, which was the closest thing I've ever tasted to my mother's homemade scone, and trust me there's no greater compliment than that!

Good varied menu with cakes, afternoon tea, salads and sandwiches and quirky interesting decor and memorabilia. Favourite place to eat in Tewkesbury. Good for gluten free too. Would recommend.

This was a Groupon offer I got my wife for Christmas. We were delighted with the meal and service. Lovely food well presented. It is worth noting that our waitress, Sarah, was very informative and friendly.

An amazing tearoom, the oldest in Tewkesbury, situated opposite the Abbey. Beautifully presented meals surrounded by 50s/60s memerobelia.

This was our first visit to the Abbey Tea Rooms and Restairant but won't be our last. Great food and service and a fascinating trip down memory lane with all the memorabilia here. Could not fault in any way.

Superb venue, food amazing and extremely friendly, helpful staff, lovely ambience. Dropped whilst visiting Glastonbury and the Abbey. A really enjoyable experience

Amazing food and atmosphere can throughly recommend roast was amazing even had my nephew eating gravy who doesn't normally like it

Fascinating trip down memory lane with all the memorabilia here. Food was tasty, beautifully presented and served. Toasty with crisps and salad yesterday for lunch and roast beef Sunday lunch today. Delicious and could not fault in anyway.

Was amazing and spotless staff were friendly and helpfull. A great place to stop when in tewkesbury will definitely eat here again

We were on a coach trip with GB tours staying at warners Holme Lacy, one of our trips out was to Tewksbury, where we only stayed for less than 2 hours not long enough really. We were told by the driver that we were booked in for a cream tea at the Abbey tea rooms which had opened specially for us. He dropped us of up the road and 24 of us went in, well what a surprise the owner was waiting to greet us the tables were all set with pots of tea and a large scone with separate butter, jam & clotted cream which was delicious, the place was lovely & warm. Think the whole party agreed we could have stayed there all day looking at all the memorabilia everywhere you could see even the coins stuck to the chairs and the outside toilets worth a visit. It is an amazing place well worth a visit and my husband and I have said we will return one day

What a fabulous place. On arriving we couldn’t stop looking at the fantastic collection of memorabilia. Brought back so many memories. Stopping reminiscing long enough to look at the menu we chose sandwiches and a toasted melt. They arrived quickly and everything was delicious and very generous portions at a more than reasonable price. We met and chatted with the owners who were super friendly. If you want tasty food in an interesting setting served by friendly staff you must visit this restaurant. Highly recommended and we will certainly be returning.

What a lovely experience - like visiting the home of your favourite Great Auntie! Set in a gorgeous ancient building, and surrounded with curios from days gone by, this is a fun place to tarry awhile. We all thoroughly enjoyed our mighty generous portions of homemade roast beef dinner, with lashings of gravy - a real treat for a cold November Monday lunchtime! The meat was very tender and the food generously piled up high, and was incredible value too. We noticed that whatever folks ordered - it came in mighty generous portions. A lovely homely and quirky experience - we shall definitely call in again when we return.

A fabulous "proper" tea room. Wonderful quirky decor - will keep you fascinated and nostalgic for hours! Beautiful flowers. Spotless despite all the memorabilia. Delicious food! We had the afternoon tea - you'd struggle to find better. Home made scones, lovely jam, clotted cream and fresh fruit, freshly made sandwiches with tasty cheese and thickly sliced, home cooked ham, rounded off with a large pot of tea! Perfect!

Very good food! Amazing Sunday roast, worth booking as it can get quiet busy. Staff were lovely and attentive. Desserts are massive! Definitely worth a visit. Will be coming again!

We visited for a Sunday roast lunch. What a treat! A superb traditional, wonderfully cooked meal, presented with all the trimmings. Best homemade puddings we’ve had for years. The service was first class, the atmosphere was friendly and homely. A real ‘must visit’ if you’re ever in Tewkesbury. We will return 👍

Such a wonderful find ! Loved this tearoom - welcoming, great food and so much to look at/ talk about ❤️

We met with friends in Tewkesbury and they booked this little gem of an eating place for our Sunday lunch . This quirky , delightful venue is a must for excellent service and piping hot , freshly cooked food .

Fascinating place full of interesting items from times gone by Family Sunday lunch get together. Atmosphere was exceptional. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good home cooked food that was so tasty and good size portions. Especially liked the roast potatoes. Great selection of home made desserts that were of equally high quality and delicious. Will definitely be returning

Visited after the abbey, very popular place, the staff were very friendly and the pots of tea reasonably priced.

We have had lots of good experiences in this odd but cute tea rooms. The service is always good and the main reason we keep coming back is for the scones. They are a good size, moist and are served with the traditional jam and clotted cream, they remind me of years ago when my Grandma baked. I will be coming back for more.

Amazing place, full of memorabilia that takes you way back, the staff are always friendly and polite, the food is always 1st class, the food is ALL home cooked and delicious, We have been going there for years and NEVER had a complaint.

does not live up to the reputation !! booked sunday lunch here after being told many times this was the place to go. good points first, the place itself is amazing full of memories from childhood. food was ok but not special, beef was from a packet not off the bone. roast potatoes were very over cooked . hostess was grumpy and quiet rude and it was very over priced for what it was. got home to find a snotty voice mail asking why we hadnt turned up for our booking !!!!!

Telephoned on day hoping for Sunday lunch, spoke with most helpful staff and they fitted us in for 1.30pm. It is a very quirky but lovely tea rooms. Sunday lunch did not disappoint, with us ordering both the beef and pork dinners. Both were delicious, good selection of vegetables and lovely gravy. The one dessert was also very tasty. Staff were all super friendly. Would highly recommend! We will definitely be back next visit to Tewkesbury!! Thank you!

I rate a tearoom by the tea and the scones and I have just enjoyed one of the nicest cream tea experiences I've ever eaten. It was a proper scone (i.e not at all dry, without the aftertaste of baking powder and with the absence of raisins!), huge and with generous portions of both jam and proper clotted cream. And the tea provided with it was also proper tea - lovely and strong without me having to beat the life out of a mediocre teabag. I can be a little fussy, but this particular cream tea was just perfect! And my daughter and I loved looking around at the paraphernalia on the walls and ceilings and garden - it was a real treasure trove and gave us plenty to talk about. She enjoyed her cheese toasty and milkshake too. We look forward to our next visit :D

Absolutely fantastic cafe, food was delicious and so well presented, so much nostalgia and a great talking point. Lovely owners, can't recommend enough. Thank you for helping to make our mum's birthday so special

Came for Sunday lunch, absolutely amazing food huge portions and home cooked. The dining area is Full of lots of nostalgic memorabilia - would highly recommend.

Comida absolutamente deliciosa y precios decentes. El tamaño de las porciones era muy bueno y la comida era de una calidad excepcional. El salón de té tiene un tema peculiar de todas las cosas antiguas y nuevas, por lo que también es una experiencia divertida mirar todos los objetos de colección y traer algunos recuerdos fabulosos del pasado. El personal fue extremadamente amigable y servicial. Espacio para un buggy también ya que teníamos a nuestro hijo de 4 meses con nosotros. Realmente disfrutamos nuestro viaje hoy y nos fuimos llenos y satisfechos. Volvería seguro y lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Gracias.

Dropped in for some cake and coffee after a long drive in traffic from Cornwall. The cake portions were huge and the drink delicious as well. Staff were polite and quick, also helped us when we wanted to take some cake away.

We had a fantastic Roast chicken & Roast Beef today followed by a very yummy Apple crumble & treacle pudding with custard.service was excellent & everyone was so friendly & polite.I loved the quirkiness of the place.Well worth the money.will definitely visit again.Thankyou.

Almuerzo familiar:) mesa para cuatro - 1 sándwich con ensalada / ensalada de col casera y patatas fritas 2 tostadas y una baguette: visité Tewksbury por primera vez y vio las buenas críticas. Fue muy agradable, no nos decepcionó. Sí, es un poco caro, un poco polvoriento en todos los adornos. El personal era encantador y los pasteles parecían tan deliciosos, así que me encantaría volver y probar los bollos y pasteles.

Había oído cosas buenas y leído buenas críticas sobre el té y los bollos en este lugar, así que estaba deseando tomar el té de la tarde.Desafortunadamente, solo estaban ofreciendo mesas para aquellos que querían un asado dominical. Un enfoque extraño para un salón de té, que resulta en un viaje inútil.

Mi esposo y yo visitamos un sábado por la tarde rompiendo nuestro viaje a Devon con pasar la noche. Pedí el té de la tarde de fresa, que se describió como un bollo con mermelada de fresa y crema cuajada. No me gusta la crema coagulada, así que pedí mantequilla. Cuando llegó, no había fresas y la mantequilla era margarina barata. Cuando pedí la mantequilla adecuada, me dijeron que no tenían. ¿Un salón de té sin mantequilla? ¿Con qué hacen sus cremas de mantequilla? Ni siquiera mencioné la falta de fresas.

Este establecimiento merece una visita, y el aparcamiento municipal está a poca distancia a pie. Vale la pena visitarlo, especialmente cuando se aloje en Tewkesbury Park Hotel. Está a unos 14 minutos a pie del hotel, hay que girar a la izquierda. Tiene recuerdos de los 50 y uno encuentra algo que se refiera a su generación y época. Servicio muy amable y imprescindible.

Called in today . Had a beautiful Sunday roast in their gorgeous courtyard garden. Sun shining surroundings wonderful. Couldn’t be a more perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Will definitely return.

Los salones de té Abbey están bien situados frente a la entrada principal de la abadía de Tewkesbury. Vinimos a tomar el té / café de la mañana y quedamos encantados con el estilo retro y la gran cantidad de recuerdos nostálgicos. El anuncio de Green Shield Stamps en la puerta de entrada es la clave de lo que ofrece este fascinante lugar. Los refrigerios eran buenos y disfruté mirando la cubierta de la mesa de un periódico de gran formato de 1929. Si no hubiéramos reservado ya en otro establecimiento para comer, habríamos regresado para el almuerzo. Sin duda lo haremos en nuestra próxima visita a la ciudad. Espero que este establecimiento pueda seguir sobreviviendo al difícil entorno actual para la industria hotelera. Este es un verdadero tesoro para una ciudad maravillosa y se recomienda encarecidamente.

We visited this delightful tearoom today with our daughter and son-in-law and had a wonderful lunch. The food is absolutely delicious... we chose a variety of sandwiches, cream teas and cakes and everything was presented beautifully and tasted wonderful. The scones are as light as air .... however there is so much more to this tearoom than the food .... it is a treasure trove of memorabilia which the owners have collected and display in such a wonderful way. We could have spent hours reminiscing over items ... such a treat. We sat in the lovely courtyard garden ... so beautiful. A must if you are visiting Tewkesbury.

Took family to this quirky tea room and had a great time! Conversation didn’t stop as many items evoked wonderful family memories!!! Food and hospitality was great too!! Good stop before visit to Abbey .

If in the area ,you must check this quirky little place out ...certainly a step back in time . Fantastic deco,excellent food delicious roast ,great hospitality . 💯%

Found this place by accident whilst looking for somewhere for a drink. We had a very tasty and reasonably priced cream team with generous portions of clotted cream. However it was the decor and friendly owners that made it for us, The place is packed with memorabilia from years gone by, from old £5.00 banknotes to the exact same colander my mother used in the 60's !! An absolute gem of a place and a "must visit" when going to Tewkesbury

A wonderful little tea room full of artefacts and interesting memorabilia. The atmosphere and service is very relaxed and laid back. We ordered a cream tea and a jacket with prawns, both arrived promptly, fresh and without hassle even at my request for a small pot of honey. The tea was superb and the whole museum feel brought back alot of memories.Our experiences were more than that of an average lunch and we both enjoyed ourselves.I simply phoned ahead to book and to avoid disappointment and would reccomend others do the same.As for the negative reviews that some idiots have left I must congratulate the owner's smart responses as these had me chuckling. Anyone who doesn't forward plan and book a table or indeed "get" this quirky little joint doesn't deserve to visit in the first place.Well done team.Nice work.

On way down to Warminster and decided to stop in Tewkesbury for lunch. On Trip Advisor #2 for eating. What a delight, opposite the Abbey and so full of charm with lots of delightful memorabilia. Food was fresh, homemade and tasty.

I Went in for some nice tea and scones where i would be able to get a nice view of the abbey. once arriving i noticed how cramped the entire cafe was with all the hanging cups and terrible decor that was a serious eyesore. The food was rather overpriced and not worth it at all. A couple came in after me and seemed to get served right away whilst i had been sitting around for about 10 minutes. There are definitely better cafe in the center of town that are more worth your time.

Such an interesting place , could spend a day just checking out the memorabilia- so much to see - even a visit to the the toilet via the back yard was a fantastic journey for me ! we all loved it , lovely staff , nothing too much trouble And oh by the way ...the food was lovely as well !. We will return ....soon I hope..

Fascinating little place! Food was excellent, great customer service and all very quick! The place is mesmerising and I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Meal was amazing staff top notch .would definitely recommend .the puddings are amazing . beautiful place lots of interesting memorabilia

Went for a Sunday roast and it was the best roast I have eaten, everything was perfect. I went back later in the week for an afternoon tea with a selection of gorgeous cakes. Everything was topnotch, Couldnt fault it, The only thing I recomend is you book to come for a Sunday lunch as there were alot of people turned away because it was fully booked. This place is the best Restaraunt. I seriously recomend it.

Wasn't for me I felt claustrophobic as there seems to be very little space in there The cake was on the dry side and coffee was very strong but they can't please everyone I suppose

Lovely home cooked turkey dinner served in a kooky place with so much memorabilia that took a few of us back to our childhood. Friendly attentive staff in a cozy environment, perfect on a chilly Sunday afternoon 😊

My friends and I really fancied a Sunday roast and as a vegetarian and my other friend being gluten free were surprised such a quaint place could accommodate us but they did. We seemed to have hit the jackpot with a lovely hot well seasoned nut roast and beef, pork dinners. The desserts were really yummy too. The owner tried to accommodate my gluten free friend with an option he could make-up for her, but she was so full she could t eat another bite.
