Beatons Tearooms - Crowthorne in Bracknell Forest

We booked a table however on arrival two members of staff kept apologising that they were fully booked instead of asking us if we had booked. After explaining we had a table booked we were sat at a table that hadn't been cleaned from the last customer. A red rose was on the table and whipped away before we took our seats. The lunch was poor quality and poor value. Tiny amount of salad with no dressing. At least we were offered salt and pepper! The Tea was excellent.

Visited Beatons quite a few times now and are always treated the same, friendly and always welcoming. Missed popping in during lockdown, but have now been back a few times since and they have plenty of room between tables and all staff wear masks, so again feel comfortable, worth a visit.

I have visited Beatons a few times and am always welcomed with the same happy reception! The staff are polite and ever so helpful, resourceful and most importantly they always have a smile on their faces! The food is very good and the menu is excellent value. They have definitely have a returning customer

Went to Beatons in Crowthorne today for Earl Grey tea, milkshakes and cake. They are just lovely - it took us a while to choose which cakes but the chocolate and peppermint tea cake was devoured in seconds and the lemon cake was beautiful and moist. My daughter told Paul the milkshake was ‘awesome’ but my son was too busy with his head in his, drinking it all up, to talk. In a world of Covid 19, we felt safe too - far better than in some other places!! All the right arrangements were in place and we able to just enjoy our time there. Thank you Paul and your team. We will be back!

Went to beatons tearooms over the bank holiday weekend - what a wonderful place really enjoyed the tea and scones the tea was exceptional!We ordered and sourdough toast and jacket potatoes as well which were very goodI will definitely visit if I am back in the area

Very pleasant establishment, great cake & nice pot of tea, what more can I say. Looking 4ward 2 coming back 4 a Hi tea, when Covid is done & dusted.

Bright airy tearooms offering an excellent selection of quality teas. These are also available to purchase in a branded tin. Good selection of light meals and the cakes on display were very tempting. Friendly, helpful staff.Love the colourful crockery. The owners has done the post covid easement of lockdown well. Will certainly return. Much better than the chains.

I love beatons as it is a tea shop as well as a bookstore. But it does have its flaws. I wouldn’t recommend it for family who have toddlers or little children as there are many cakes and teas on display which could get knocked. My personal favourites are their flapjacks and milkshakes. The food and quality of the teas (my favourite is the peppermint tea) is exceptional although the bill is quite pricey.

There is a choice of dozens of different flavours of tea and a great selection of cakes. A friendly place to meet and Paul is a great host.

I booked for a family birthday, as a treat. I went in in person to book and agreed that we would have the afternoon tea menu, as opposed to the lunch menu. When we came to order we were told that the HIGH tea and ELEGANT tea, both on the afternoon tea menu, had to be pre-ordered. I was offered a menu but want told that certain items on that menu had to be pre-ordered. To make matters more annoying we managed to order almost all the items from the ELEGANT tea separately, which, obviously was a more expensive way of doing it. What we did have was good quality and tasty but the start of the experience coloured the whole celebration. The place isn’t massively child-friendly in my opinion. This is probably not somewhere we will visit again, which is a shame as it was recommended to me by a friend.

A lovely calm atmosphere , very clean . Staff so polite and kind food was first class & very good choice. Our lunch lasted 2 hours but no pressure from staff at all .

Lost count of the number of times I have visited I now have my own special coffee with a chocolate lolly and a syrup gingerbread or hazelnut

Lovely tea room, good quality food, coffee and large choice of teas. The homemade cakes looked amazing. I hope to return very soon.

Yes..at Mr Beaton’s again!! I wait 6 mouths to be able to visit Mr Beaton’s tea rooms again. You Brits are very lucky to have such a wonderful tea room to visit when ever you want.We took our grandchildren ( 2.75 years old) today for the “ Beaton experience “ They had a “ Cheno” and Mr Beaton’s chocolate cake!! At 2.75 years old it doesn’t get any better than that..I chose a bagel with bacon and cheese..well done Paul!! Looking forward to seeing you in 2020 for those Beaton scones.A converted Beaton tea and scone customer all the way from Australia See you next trip Paul.

We popped in here for a sandwich for lunch and were pleasantly surprised about their tea selection. This is their USP, they have 20+ teas to choose from and are all very nice, very well presented and you get a reasonable sized pot for everyone but then they are £3 each. Service & food were excellent

Met a friend here for a catch up. Lovely coffee and delicious carrot cake in a warm, cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Perfect!

Party of 4 for breakfast on a Sunday. Not our usual place to eat or even our usual town to eat in but came recommended on Trip Advisor and it was central to where we were all travelling from. Something for everyone including the vegetarian in our party. Lovely, prompt service. Only downside was that it didn't open until 10.00am but we were still some of the first clients there. Loved that a troop of Sandhurst cadets were also there 'suited & booted' for their breakfast too.

Very friendly staff and excellent choices. There’s lots that I could have eaten on the menu. An enjoyable afternoon!

Went here primarily because the menu(s) were very enticing. We weren't disappointed and indulged somewhat: Elevenses ... more coffee ... then even more coffee AND cake.

An expensive pot of breakfast tea! Light airy meeting place . Establishment busy on breakfasts . Clean , efficient service

On the Main Street in Crowthorne Was this lovely tearoom/bookshop we had breakfast nice menu and choice friendly staff, very clean well worth a visit

A great place to meet family and friends.

Great service, really nice coffee and toasted tea cake. Friendly staff, and a nice and peaceful atmosphere.

Always visit Mr Beaton’s tea room while in the UK.

A blast from the past! How to brew a nice cup of tea..properly! A great selection of sandwiches or cakes to go with your teas of choice...and there is a HUGE choice available. The novelty of having your pot of tea delivered with an ‘egg-timer’ and being soundly advised NOT to pour your tea until all of the sand has run through the timer! ... an dit REALLY DOES make a difference!

A nice tearoom on the High Street in Crowthorne. Quality food and drink, and refreshing to find a place with individual character rather than the mundane Starbucks or Costa Coffe clones

My daughter and I love coming here, we treat ourselves to a pot of tea (I usually have the peppermint one) and a piece of cake. The staff are always friendly and the tea and cakes are delicious. Highly recommend visiting.

Lovely cup of tea, tempting cakes and very good service. It was an ideal venue to have a 1-1 meeting out of the office and I will return soon.

Had been recommended to this Tea Room, and we were not disappointed. Well worth a visit to Crowthorne to sample these delightfully old fashioned standards in the best possible way - home made cakes & scones, china tea cups/teapot ( all monogrammed!) - choice of tealeaves to be infused, cake recipes from the owners family, attention to detail a joy, and service impeccable by the owner - books in the corner if you want a quiet cuppa and a read, and so clean and relaxing. We will go back. . Wish we had a Beatons near us in Camberley - Beatons & service with a smile lightens up the day.. Well done the owner.

Another fantastic breakfast. Little treat to set us up for the day. Great service great food and atmosphere.

Popped in here for a morning break and found it to be very relaxing, makes you feel very Homely. Staff are pleasant, polite and helpful, lots of smiles and approachable.

We visited for breakfast on a Bank Holiday Monday and although the venue was busy with virtually all tables filled - apparently unexpectedly given the need to bring in extra staff - but despite the evident pressure, the staff all kept their cool remaining pleasant and smiling to customers - well done the Crowthorne team! Once ordered, coffee and teas were delivered promptly followed by the breakfast orders which were hot, attractively presented and tasty to eat. This venue is nicely decorated complementing the elegant theme. The menu is comprehensive in terms of light meals with an abundance of tea and coffee options. Staff are professional, friendly and helpful in suggesting options. It is well worth a visit.

Second visit in a month. Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff. Good selection of food, cakes and drinks. Vast choice of loose leaf teas if that's your thing. Suitable for those with dietary requirements. An unexpected gem in Crowthorn.

Lovely place, lovely food and great friendly service. Interesting books on the shelf to read and good kids menu.

We came here for brunch and the food was great. This place always seems extremely busy, has a great atmosphere and most importantly is local. Would recommend.

Went here with a friend very helpful and they had gluten free menu good choices which is great. They could not do enough for us will go again .

Very nice warm fresh scones. Lovely tea lots to choose from and real tea. Also efficient service by pleasant staff. Thank you

We took our family for brunch - due to the great choice all 4 of us found something different that we all wanted! Service was friendly and efficient and the food was delicious.

Greeted by lovely young lady who motioned to an empty table in the window. Menus delivered promptly and food and drink order taken shortly afterwards. All very efficient!

I had heard good things about this place from my Mum who likes to take my toddler there, apparently the cakes are fab! So we thought we’d give it a go for breakfast last Sunday since our favourite breakfast jaunt Villa Roma was closed.

Lovely tea room and the cakes are mouth watering. Very friendly staff. Also very kind and understanding with a small toddler who wanted to sit in a proper chair.

We popped in this morning for a coffee, this was our first time. The sign on the door said closed but it looked like they were open so we walken in anyway. We were met by one of the staff wich told us we were lucky if we found a seat, and to try at the back. There were a couple of tables which had not been cleared, clearly they were rushed off their feef and not enough staff. After a long wait the waitress took our order of coffee and my husband order a bagel which he was told may take a while. The two waitresses working at the front did their best, on a Sunday mornig they clearly needed more staff. There seemed to be a long wait for food and we really thought they had forgotten our bagel, and having just about finished our coffee, the bagel arrived. They did apologise for the wait. It seemed like the staff was apologising to most people for different things during the time we sat there. We were also also overcharged for what we had but did not realise till we got home. The toilets could have done with a good clean too.

Lovely food, moist fresh cake and lovely service. Will definitely be returning. The menu is diverse and yummy!!

Excellent service and a great choice of tea and cakes supplemented with a good number of sandwich fingers and 2 superb scones with jam and clotted cream.

We are here today.... we both had the cream tea ... which comes with 2 scones each.... choice of cheese or sweet. Very nice although our scones were flat .... more like cookies?? Lovely atmosphere with relaxing music from many years ago. Friendly polite service. Had to wait 20 mins for our scones though even though it wasn't busy.

An afternoon treat at Mr Beatons✨✨

Lovely food and drink, nice atmosphere and decor, good service and friendly staff, my friend wishes they sold their earl grey tea to take away,

We are addicts of the new old fashion afternoon tea for two and scones. Beacons have got the best scones we have eaten on the south coast. Even warm. So hot tea pot and lovely cakes. Staff friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Room creates a lovely atmosphere. Clean ,tidy and good toilets. Easy to get around with my walker.

My wife and I visited here looking for a nice place for lunch. The service was excellent - friendly and attentive. We had soup - both the sweet potato & chorizo and the mushroom soups of the day were delicious, just under £5 per portion. The cakes looked amazing; we settled for just one portion of coffee and walnut cake between us and it was lovely. Good coffee too.

Arr Yes!! Another wonderful experience at Mr Beaton’s in Crowthorne UK.

Friendly lovely staff always smiling and are a kind bunch. Lemon Polenta is a fantastic cake and I always have it when i come. Teas are a must have and we love trying different teas. Turkey wraps are so tasty. We will come back soon.

Visited with 9 friends for a 50th birthday tea -cream tea and cake -on a Sunday afternoon. Had pre-booked given size of group. Friendly service, happy to take part in bringing cake with candles to table and, having sorted orders, left us to celebrate without lots of unnecessary interruptions. Manager came in specially to ensure all went smoothly, even though I am not a regular. Carrot cake amazing.

We have been here several times and always had excellent service,and lovely food. I am currently working my way through the tea menu!! We took an elderly friend there yesterday and the staff were so friendly and helpful, she is quite a fussy eater but absolutely loved her tomato and basil soup whilst we enjoyed the mushrooms on toast avec Stilton!! It is so nice to find such a charming place to stop and relax in. Thank you

Visited this morning at 11am, only a few tables filled & 'forgot' our food order. Staff hadn't even noticed.

Had popped to do a bit of shopping in Crowthorne and our first choice cafe was closing so we stumbled across Beatons, a Tea Room.

Having been here a couple of times before, it was a good choice for afternoon tea for 7 people to celebrate my mums birthday. Great communication round booking, all ready for us and great service throughout. You don't go here for luxury surroundings, you go here for a well presented, delicious food, with great cake and a wide selection of teas. Excellent value for money, and made my mums day, thank you ☺

Having been here once before for lunch I decided to try it out for breakfast, it was quite busy, staff however very friendly and efficient. We ordered Coffees and Eggs Benedict, Coffees were delivered in good time and the food followed not long after. Clearly freshly prepared, eggs ham, spinach on a toasted muffin. Very tasty and fair value. Deserves to be busy.

Lovely place and staff were fantastic,very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Keep meaning to go back but time just flies.

We often visit Beaton's for lunch or just a cup of tea and a piece of cake. Not the cheapest venue but the service and food are always excellent with a certain 'je ne sais quoi' about them.

Having been here a few times and never having been disappointed, I felt it time to write a review. Having a ‘rambunctious’ 6 year old, finding really child-friendly places can be hard, but here at Beatons the staff certainly do make all feel welcome. From the greeting as you enter to the excellent knowledge of the teas and coffees through to the great food choice which is always well cooked and well presented. The whole experience is a joy. We never feel rushed or in the way. A true diamond of a find. We will becoming back very soon.

Clean, tidy, great service. If you're ever passing do pop in to try the fab range of teas and yummy cakes. Tiny timer with your cuppa so you know when it's ready, lovely idea. Paul was so welcoming and happy to explain about the different teas. Can't wait to try the afternoon tea!!!

This cafe has got quality and ambiance spot on. Wonderful tea and cake and really lovely staff. Loved the environmentally friendly tea leaf bags ans blends Well done.

What a little gem this place is. Crowthorne is all the better for it. Lovely choice of teas and cakes. Very friendly staff. Just what the village needs.

Lovely sandwiches, delicious scones (sweet and savoury) and indulgent cakes. Brilliant and so indulgent! Great selection of teas and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. All made for a super experience.

Afternoon tea with delicious home made cake. There is a great selection of teas and coffees, as well as sandwiches. Try the sodas as well.

Lovely food, excellent service. Best Carrot Cake ever!...We came for the first time with friends who are regulars and would DEFINITELY come again.

We love going to Beatons as a family as we always receive a warm welcome and have delicious food, cooked to order. Paul and his staff go out of their way to make our visit special. Thank you x

Off cuff visit to Beatons, which we have talked about for a couple of years after moving I to the area as visually looks a nice location and appears to be popular, to be honest wasn’t blown away not that there was anything wrong just not as amazing as thought would be, staff were polite and service was quick not a bad choice of menu however we did think was a limited choice, we were not offered Choice of breads; whole meal,white or crusty as mentioned on menu however food was nice. Place is defiantly a mother’s meeting place too ! Screaming kids ugh!!!! But that’s not Beatons problem on whole clean, neat and ok food and drinks but wouldn’t rush back.

I had arranged to pick a friend up and go for coffee in Crowthorne. Her landlady recommended Beatons. I had seen it a few times but for some reason it just didn't appeal to me. We did go in, and I'm glad we did. It's very friendly, the staff are really nice and the coffee was the best cup I have had in weeks. We didn't have cakes but they looked great as did the lunches being served. I will definitely go to Beatons next time I am in Crowthorne.

Have visited a couple of times now and on each occasion have had a lovely afternoon enjoying excellent tea and cake and been able to chat and catch up with friends. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had lunch at Beatons yesterday. Both had the Croque Madame. Lovely ingredients beautifully cooked and served. The tea choice is amazing as you would expect.

Place only opened at 9.00 but the food is fantastic and the service was great, the place was very clean and the atmosphere was really nice

Took my mum here for afternoon tea. Lovely quaint place. Lovely atmosphere and ambience. Staff very attentive and welcoming. Scones, cakes and tea was lovely. My mum especially likes beatons brew. Parking in the high street can be challenging at times. Definitely going back for more.

Went for some breakfast on Saturday morning and came across Beatons in Crowthorne.

Such a relaxing ambiance where we can stop and relax and really enjoy the scrummy food! Paul was everso welcoming thank you for a lovely brunch.

My friend and I visited for a pre-booked afternoon tea. The person I spoke to when booking was very friendly and we had great service from the two young people who served us. The tea itself was delicious and we wiled away a couple of hours, leaving fully stuffed with goodness. This is one of the best value afternoon teas I have had, with a fantastic range of actual teas available. Highly recommended

This is a great tearoom in a small village. The staff are always friendly and extremely helpful and the food always freshly cooked. The choice of teas and coffees are vast as is the array of homemade cakes.

Back again to Mr Beaton’s for afternoon tea.

We all tried different types of gourmet burger, delicious. The paprika fries and the normal fries, crispy and tasty, not greasy, lovely.

I’m not one for tea shops and cake but what a stunning place this is. A great selection of teas and stunningly fresh and seemingly home made cakes! Great place.

Great friendly service. Such a variety of teas and coffee to choose from. Food fresh and delicious. Free parking just round the corner.

Yummy lunch’s (mushrooms on toast and Egg sandwich) and gorgeous cake...friendly, attentive and helpful service.

My wife and I popped in for a quick bite not realising the treat we had in store. Tea served in a giant teabag with an egg timer to get the brew just right. A Ploughman's lunch with delicious mini spiced loaves, and a brie and cranberry wrap absolutely packed as full as it could be.

Every time I visit here the service is great and the food delicious. I had a sandwich which exceeded expectations. My cake was disappointing but I think it was just my choice. It was replaced with an alternative and I felt that my comments were listened to and welcomed.

First time I visited had a breakfast was lovely everything about this place is so nice food is amazing staff so friendly. Will definitely be back to try the lunch menu.

Well this is the second time I've been to beatons tearoom and will definitely be visiting again. I had a pot of tea with a scone . The tea was really nice and the scone was a nice size and could tell it was fresh.

We had tea and scones for lunch. Our scones were hard, hadn’t risen well and were so dry we weren’t sure if they were stale. Even though they took 2 scones off the bill it still cost £12 for a pot of tea, a soda and 2 scones. Although the service was good we won’t return. I’ve never actually had a bad scone and the fact they cost £3.80 for 2 you would hope they would use some quality control in future. The tea (a pot of decaf) was fine but £6 for a pot of tea was incredibly expensive. I’ll stick with where we normally go in future as although a little further away is far nicer in quality of food, prices and decor.

Very pleasant place to visit,very clean, staff are lovely very attentive etc food very delicious but bit pricey for coffee plus teas, very pretty decor worth a visit for food alone.

Had lunch here with my husband and was very impressed. Great service, lovely food along with a good atmosphere. It's not a quick grab a sandwich type cafe. It offers table service with a smile and is a very relaxing experience.

Visited twice with my mum - first for a light lunch, then breakfast. It's quite nice, and the food is fine (nothing special, but tasty enough and quite a good selection). However, it is quite expensive for what you get - I think I was charged £7 for rarebit this morning, which is, essentially, cheese on toast. I'm also not impressed with the price of hot drinks - £3 and above for tea and coffee is extortionate in my opinion. My mum and I shared a pot of tea between us and were charged £6 for the privilege! I won't be rushing back although it's pleasant enough.

The first time I went to Beatons I wasn't that impressed. A bit expensive and felt the choice was limited. I didn't even like the rather fake charm of the place. Well I am not one of those who say 'avoid this place' because I always acknowledge that these things can be a one off and also that a place should have the chance to put things right. After all TripAdvisor is for the establishment as well, to encourage improvement. etc. Well I am happy to report that, although not my favourite place in Crowthorne, it is improving and is incredibly popular, so the public have spoken. It's growing on me!

there are several eating places in my village and my usual lunch venue was closed so i tried this new tea room.a lot of ladies were present having small lunches and long conversations.There is counter service so you order and then wait. a short lunch selection, nice surroundings and alot of books on shelves that no one is reading,I have a quick look but nothing but nothing inspiring,it really is just dressing.the food takes a long time-cod fish cakes with dressing and salad,actually delicious and obviously just freshly cooked.Good latte but small cup.it costs twice what i usually pay for the same food across the road ,but without the books.

Thought we would try Beatons for breakfast but were unimpressed by quality. I believe they use a microwave for all their cooking which may be healthy but disappoints in appearance and flavour. The sausages were pale and the scrambled eggs were bland and tasteless. Pleasant staff but won't return.

Must admit that I am a regular at Beetons and enjoy having a catch up over a lovely coffee once or twice a week. However, for this visit I bought an out of town friend with me for afternoon tea and scones but had to drag her there as she is a Costa regular!

I have come home after having lunch here today completely shocked. It is a fairly expensive place but we were fine with that. We ordered my 18month old niece a cheese sandwich. Out came two very thin slices of bread with grated cheese. When the bill arrived we were charged £5.00. I asked to speak to the manager who basically said that they do not offer a children's menu as their customers do not want children in there. How awkward we felt. Complete discrimination in this day and age and totally not acceptable in a village full of families. The manager continued to argue with us obviously not worried about his reputation. He also commented that we were obviously angry and wanted to take it out on him. How unprofessional and totally not the case. We under no circumstances will be recommending this place or returning ourselves. I honestly have never experienced such judgemental, discriminatory and opinionated customer service. I would suggest removing the photo of a child on the description of your establishment above....

My partner and I visited this little tearoom for breakfast today and were quite excited when we arrived. There was a peaceful atmosphere (although it was very empty so this might be why) with low level music gently playing. The staff were friendly and the decor looked nice too.

Never having been before we tried Beatons for lunch. The food was excellent, tasty fayre served by helpful friendly staff.

In my view Beatons represents poor value for money. Cappuccinos are £3.00 each for an average size cup. Mushrooms on toast are £5.25 - only served with 1 piece of toast about 6 mushrooms and a tiny side salad.

Arr yes, another morning tea at Mr Beatons in High st Crowthorne UK.

I love this tearoom. The staff are great as is the selection of teas and coffees, and as for the carrot cake.........
