Beatons in Wiltshire

Only came in for a coffee with my family but ended up having food too very friendly and welcoming staff amazing food and a great experience will definitely be going back. I recommend beatons to everyone

Great location, food and tea. Poached eggs were perfect (with avocado or Benedict) and the carrot cake is up there with the best ever..!

Lovely place for a relaxing lunch. Take a good book or buy one there ! The food is good and they are welcoming and accommodating. Plenty of space to set up your laptop if you need to work

This was a really special cafe with excellent food and service. The tea selection and quality were wonderful. We returned for tea and had delicious cakes. The ginger bread and lemon was so good

Sat outside in the sun. Nice terrace looking out onto the street. The carrot cake was utterly delicious, moist, plump raisins and sultanas, large grated carrot slivers. Just Devine. This will be our new coffee stop en-route to the south west. Ginger cake was also excellent. Lovely service by friendly staff. 💯

We must have caught the 2 waitresses on a bad day because our party of 4 found them both to be unapproachable and offhand. Neither of them managed to crack a smile in the 2 hrs that we were there. Doubt we'll be back.

Thought the tea was beautifully brewed to perfection, piping hot, the fishcakes were scrumptious with a fresh crunchy side salad, the Guinness and chocolate cake was delicious. Mia was very welcoming, and has a lovely energy about her. Loved it.

Sweet little Tearoom. Friendly and helpful staffs. We had coffee which was really good and some freshly squeezed juice. Will be back soon.

Harry & the wonderful team at Beatons are so incredibly inviting. The customer service happiness and friendliness makes for an incredible stop off ! And the food too ! We ordered a full English and mushrooms and avocado on toast and I can honestly say it is the best full English in Wiltshire I have had to date yet. Would definitely recommend. Top stuff guys

Stumbled upon this place having never been to Tisbury before. Having had a stressful time and a bit of time before catching a train, we wanted a cup of tea. We loved Beatons. Loved having loose leaf tea, loved the chai latte. Loved the little saucer over the cup. Really loved the white chocolate and cranberry cake which was undoubtedly home made (tasted like it was baked in the last 24 hours). Service was a little slow, but we didn’t mind. Will be returning and taking others with me!

This is the perfect place to start your day! The light and elegant room with the books and the flowers invites you to relax. A large selection of fine teas and coffees as well as an array of delicious homemade cakes and sandwiches make your day. Every time we popped in during our holiday the service was excellent. Harry and Mia are very attentive and are more than happy to respond to a request or to give some travelling advice. You could sit there, sip your drinks and spend as much time as you like in this cozy atmosphere.

Whilst a 3 rating is perhaps a little low, I couldn't quite go to a 4 for reasons I'll explain. I'll start with the positives and that is the food was very nice, as was the coffee and I would recommend on this basis. Service was unfortunately disjointed. It took over half an hour to order, 45 mins to get a drink. Sitting outside we felt forgotten. After waiting we went in search of a menu and as we wanted lunch were advised that we had to wait until midday. Fine for us but being 11.55 we couldn't have a menu to be looking at and were told to come back. On going back we were given a brunch menu instead and had to go back again. I'll end on a positive and say once we got to order service the food arrived within 15 mins.

I popped in for a cup of tea and a scone to get out of the rain for a while. I’m so glad I did. There was a great range of loose leaf teas on offer and the Darjeeling I had was full of flavour. The scone was nice and was served with some clotted cream and jam.

A lovely unusual bookshop and cafe! With the best food you could find! Fabulous huge cakes, great selection of teas and coffees. Right on Tisbury High Street!

Just held a private function (family wake) at this lovely tea room located in the heart of Tisbury. Can’t thank Harry and his staff enough for the superb spread and service provided. Top class - highly recommended.

We visited today and had a full afternoon tea, after having to rebook after a booking miscommunication Harry and his team could not have been more accommodating and helpful, delicious tea, scrummy cakes and sandwiches would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area

We visited Beatons with our 1 year old. No high chairs at all, but a booster seat which clips on to an adult chair. As the lady brought it to us, she warned us to be careful not to swing as the chair could tip. As our baby is 1, we know she can't swing on a chair so this seemed ok. Unfortunately during our visit the chair tipped over backwards with our baby in it and she hit her head on the hard floor. This is so dangerous and totally unacceptable. We had some other issues which were resolved fairly and happily,but this matter must be taken further; it's not enough to hand out a dangerous piece of equipment with a"be careful", it needs to be replaced with a fit for purpose highchair as a matter of urgency.

What a wonderful experience! We wanted to have a light lunch on our way home and Googled "tearooms". Beatons came up and it was well worth the visit. On our way to it we passed through the most beautiful villages and Tisbury didn't disappoint either. The staff were welcoming and attentive - although not overly so - and the service was very quick. My jacket potato was baked to perfection and the Coronation chicken sandwich my husband chose was lavishly filled. All in all a perfect end to our weekend away.

With proper loose leaf tea and amazing cakes and scones, Beatons Tearoom in Tisbury is a wonderful spot to break your day. Everything we tried, from the cream tea to the Victoria Sponge was pitch perfect. Made on site, the baked goodies were just sweet enough to be decadent while allowing the other ingredients to shine through and be tasted. Service was excellent and our hostess was fabulous, with a truly friendly nature.

We stopped here for lunch on our way to Devon for our holiday. My son was so impressed when he visited recently he decided this was the place for us to lunch today. The food was absolutely delicious and the service first class! We also indulged in a couple of slices of their lovely cakes to finish off! Well worth a visit when in the area.

We visit this village hub whenever we are near Tisbury. It's consistently excellent, weather you're popping in for a coffee or something to eat from a wonderfully thought out menu. Service is always the sharpest most friendly that you could want. Love it, please don't...

I can't recommend Beatons highly enough! The atmosphere is lovely, the staff always friendly and efficient. There are an amazing range of teas to sample and I can recommend the coffee too. I normally go coffee and cake but I have had lunch there too...

The depth of the menu was limited, it has reduced since covid struck. But it serves a fabulous cream tea and the surroundings are pleasant. Worth a visit

We visited several times as a large family group and they were very accommodating. There is a super choice of cakes , teas and coffees, served in lovely china cups etc. Unfortunately they were without a chef when we were there so no hot food...

didn’t know how to make an ice tea even though it was on the menu, gave us hot tea and a glass of ice, which melted instantly producing a lukewarm weak flavoured drink. tough bagels, chicken salad was delicious though

We were visiting Tisbury on the search for family history on my wife's family and stopped here for a simple lunch. We sat inside and the chairs were comfortable and tables clean. We had a BLT sandwich - would have benefited from some crisps too...

Beautiful well laid out tea rooms. We ordered cake and a pot of tea for two. The cakes were delicious and a good size. The tea was in a proper pot, loose leaf tea and a timer so that you knew when the tea was...

Very much enjoyed our visit. Lots of choice of cakes although we opted for the cream tea. The scones were delicious and plenty of jam and cream. The tea was particularly good with a proper made tea bag and a timer. I loved the Villroy...

Good food served well. All tables and chairs cleaned between guests. Great little place which we will visit again.

This remains one of my favourite places. Very relaxing and with friendly welcoming staff. The menu is great and lots of lovely cakes on offer. Extensive selection of teas and coffees.

We phoned ahead to reserve a table for 3 for lunch. Due to the changes they were not offering a full lunch menu but there was still ample to chose from. Savoury options included cheese and bacon melt croissants, sausage rolls, cheese scones and a...

Went today for Coffea and Carrot Cake with my wife we had great service as usual From some nice waitresses But sad to hear the lovely Florence has left ,,,

Lovely pot of tea lovely scone lovely place .. Had a very happy visit ... Will come back ... Best tea in the uk 🤗

I was given a voucher for afternoon high tea for two value £40. I phoned to book a table at 3pm on Monday 23rd December. My husband and I arrived a few minutes early with our 3 year old son and the lady at the...

The owner of this tearoom, had tearooms in Blandford. He closed it without Warning. Left the staff without their wages, in November 2019. WISH HIM SUCESS FOR 2020, and maybe he will the Staff who he owes wages too.

We stopped here for a quick coffee but stayed for cake & returned for brunch!! Lovely setting, beautiful photos of the royal family (by C Beaton), great service & delicious food. Highly recommended

Almost an old world charm but brought up to date with a highly desirable selection of food and drinks. The small tea rooms have tables adequately spaced.

We were shown to our table and the cafe was only partly full, but then unfortunately forgotten about until we went to the counter to ask for our order to be taken. Having said that, the staff were very attentive after that. The tea was very good quality and tasty. The cakes were good (special mention to the carrot cake) but we were given a small portion from the older cake and the next person a slice twice the size from the new cake. The prices are very high and not sure who the core customers are, but they must have deep pockets! Not sure would go here again if there are other local options.

Superb quick service at Beatons Tisbury and lovely staff After making a critical comment about the service and time having to wait Beatons have improved to excellent ,,,,,,amazing food Especially the carrot cake it’s a heavenly experience ,,there’s no cake better We go every week

It’s such a shame that a nice cup of tea was ruined by male members of staff making inappropriate comments to the female staff. Made me feel so uncomfortable and it’s something the manager should be aware of.

After a nice long walk we ended up in Tisbury. We already heard this place was a good stop for lunch so we sat down outside. We had a lovely lunch with a sandwich which was basically enough but when we went inside to pay the carrot cake on the table just whispered to us: try me. We couldn’t resist and had carrot cake for dessert. We have been in the uk for three weeks now and eaten a lot of cakes but this carrot cake was the best so far. So if you are on a diet, don’t go here.

This is my husbands' favourite place and always his first choice if he is feeling a bit down it cheers him. The tearooms are delightful, the staff helpful and the food good. He has had 2 birthday afternoon teas their recently and never tires of the lovely drive for us to arrive in Tisbury. We have also had lunch there a few times as the food is always beautifully presented.

Stopped here for a light lunch. Bright , clean and airy rooms with good service. Had very nice sandwiches and cheese on toast with leaf tea

Great tearoom with a selection of excellent home made cakes including Gluten Free options... which included the scones:-) Leaf teas that actually taste of tea and not cardboard - including the decaf! They also have other menu options available for a more substantial lunch. Friendly service. Deifinitely recommended.

On a not very busy Sunday we read the menu in the window, asked if we ordered at the counter, were given a menu told to take a seat and someone would take our order. This menu differed from the one displayed in the window. We sat outside, made our choice and waited........ We had noticed that about six tables inside were taken plus one outside where there were signs of drinks having been served. After several minutes we placed our order and waited......... Our drinks arrived, the strongest coffee (not that strong) but nicely presented and a flavoured Soda (without much flavour) with a long spoon in the glass? and waited........ Another 10 minutes or so the waitress brings drinks to an adjoining table when we ask where our sandwiches were, she replied 'we have run out of smoked salmon, I was going to come out and tell you'. We told her that was not acceptable and told her we would pay for the drinks and leave. We were told that the drinks would not be charged, for which we thanked her. As we finished the drinks the waitress returned with the sandwich they did have the ingredients for and asked if we wanted to share it, we declined but did notice it had been made on brown bread instead of the ordered white bread. On a quiet day this level of service is totally unacceptable, how long does it take to make a sandwich and why were we not told there was no smoked salmon immediately our order was passed to the kitchen? Amateurs playing at running a Tearoom as too many other reviews show.

My good friend has just paid £6.10 for a Luke warm americano no milk & a scone with no cream or jam

Lovely breakfast, really well presented and tasted great. Happy attentive service from the staff. Thank you, will return.

My wife and I went there on Sunday morning had an excellent bagel with bacon and egg ,,,,we said to the staff it was excellent and we’d be back at three for a cream tea

Went in with a couple of friends and I don’t recommend going there!! Could hear the owner talking to her staff like rubbish I was shocked, appalling behaviour!!!

We stopped here unexpectedly for lunch and were not disappointed. The food was fresh and of (more than) ample size. There was a selection of leafed tea and several yummy looking cakes. Unfortunately we were too full after the sandwich to partake of the sweets. On a fine day, sit outside and watch the comings and goings of this little village.

Excellent, stylish tea-room a short walk from the railway station. Good home-made cakes. Pleasant ambience. it's a bookshop too.

I do love going to this local cafe, the food is always amazing and the layout is stunning. That being said it is definitely exspensive so somewhere I would go to for special occassions.

The tea room was light and airy and well decorated in the high street in Tisbury.

Visited today for a light breakfast. I had the bacon and cheese bagel. Nice flavoured bacon and full flavoured cheese. Service was excellent and would recommend to anyone.

We treated ourselves to the High Afternoon Tea and were completely delighted at the experience, yes a treat for ourselves in every way, from presentation of the table immaculately laid out table to the quality of the sandwiches and cakes, plus the tea itself. The staff were outstanding and a credit to the establishment. Very happy to return and sample further from the impressive range of teas.

Stopped for a sandwich and a cup of tea on the off chance they were still serving food when everywhere else had stopped, they were and the service and the food was very good. Server was lovely.

We’ve visited Beatons for morning coffee and afternoon tea a few times and always enjoy it. This little cafe is comfortable, clean, offers newspapers, magazines and books, excellent choice of teas, coffees, and home-made cakes! There are a couple of small tables outside on the pavement too, where you can relax and enjoy watching the world of Tisbury go by. A nice place to go if you’re early for your train, too, being less than ten minutes walk from the station! The staff are friendly and helpful, and it’s the sort of place you can feel comfortable alone in too, un-hassled, which I really value.

We stopped here for afternoon tea as we were staying locally for a few days. We had Beatons brew - although they had loads of teas to choose from. I had scone, jam and cream and hubby had a large slab of shortcake. All was very good. Lovely tea room that is popular with the locals. Car park is free too so easy to park and walk across. Lunch menu looked good too.

Great variety of teas (and coffee). Lovely home made cakes. Great service, friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere.

We popped in after church on Sunday and had amazing ‘Beatons Benedict’ which was delicious. We wold go there again.

A lovely welcome by the waitress, excellent coffees with good toasted tea cake and pain au raisin. The tea room was clean, tidy and very welcoming, with a selection of interesting books.

What a lovely little tea room. Never had tea in what looked like self-filled tea bags. It came with an egg timer to ensure it brewed for the correct time. Lovely toilets with individual flannels to dry hands on. Home made scones took a little time to arrive but were worth the wait. warm and lovely with jam and clotted cream

Spent a delightful few hours having morning coffee and lunch at Beatons. There was an amazing choice of teas, coffees, cakes. My friends had lunch, too, and it looked very tasty! Very friendly helpful staff and beautiful decor - stunning Christmas tree. We’ll be back, and look forward to visiting the other franchises in this group, too.

Chef was not happy serving a lot of things so I think they were liking to us about not having what we asked, them 20 mins later it turned up. All in all the syrup is amazing though.

Pleasant tea room, clean and bright with lovely wood burner, that is where the plaudits end.

Our experience would have been pleasant enough if we had been given fair portions of what we ordered. Instead, £13.90 for 2 drinks and 2 slices of exceptionally mean slices of cake. For £3.75, the slice of coffee cake should have been reasonably generous but it was just such a meanly cut slice and terribly small...probably about half the size of a normal slice. For £4, my carrot cake should not have been small, either. I might add that we originally went into Beetons to have scones but were told there were none left and when choosing the freshly squeezed orange juice (‘squeezed on the premises’), we were told this was unavailable as the machine had been cleaned for the day. We went there at 4.20 and closing time is 5pm. I was left feeling rather over charged.

We really enjoyed our visit today. The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the Windsor afternoon tea and it was fabulous. We will be back to try the Ascot afternoon tea next! We were made to feel very welcome so thank you!

very nice staff, simple food, good service charming place what more can i say, good value for money tisbury lovely to visit anyway

We were visiting Tisbury while on holiday, looking for some lunch, and the first place we spotted on walking up from the car park was this lovely little café-cum-bookshop. The menu offered a wide choice of delicious-sounding items - we were quite spoiled for choice, but in the long run chose traditional sandwiches - very well filled and clearly freshly made, and served with a nicely dressed salad. We followed up with very good coffee and a sharing slice of great Victoria sandwich! Service was a bit slow, because it was a busy lunchtime, but we didn't mind especially as our server apologised charmingly for the delay when bringing our food. The toilet was quite an experience - it's not often that you get actual individual handtowels in a café loo, and the décor was amazing (as well as spotlessly clean). Altogether a very nice place.

I tried to have lunch here with my 9 year old son, who is typically fussy for his age.

Not the first time I've been in and they are just so unwelcoming and the guy that is working today just looks plain miserable. I do hope nothing terrible has happened to him this weekend but if not a smile is just essential working somewhere as nice looking as this place.

Sunshine, blue skies, a crisp white tablecloth and napkins, pink, green and white china and a "reserved" sign for our afternoon tea treat. Beatons sits snugly at the end of the High Street, where you can either sit outside or by one of the windows and watch the folk of Tisbury go about their business. A choice of many teas is the first decision to make, then which sort of afternoon tea you would like. We opted for the three tier of four tiny quiches and salad, a range of exquisite tiny sandwiches - cucumber (of course!), smoked salmon, tuna mayonnaise, ham and chutney. The next tier saw four enormous homemade scones, a bowl of clotted cream and a bowl of jam. The next decision - cream before jam, jam before cream!?! Your choice. And all the while a never ending cup of refreshing tea. The top tier consisted of two slices of cake - carrot cake and strawberry cake. By this time, we were pretty full to the brim, so the cake was packed into a box and came home to reside in the fridge until another day. Our thanks go to Harry McGookin (Manager) and his team for making this such a delightful interlude and a real treat. Much appreciated everyone x

Second visit and still good quality and excellent value. As before it was coffee and a breakfast snack - polite efficient chatty service gives a good welcome. And busy so the locals know a good thing. I haven’t lunched here but would expect similar quality and service

Service is great but there appear to be significant cutbacks on the standard and quantity on the food. Beatons has been a great place for a Tisbury visit and always offered good value and a delightful experience. Maybe they got new owners or they need to make more profit, but the food was nowhere near as good as our last visit. What a shame...

I’ve been a regular visitor to Beatons and enjoy the peace, tranquility and a lovely lunch. The dark haired chap in there is lovely and always provides excellent service.

Sweet little store and tea rooms. We just popped by for some refreshments on our way past. Very clean and friendly. Didn’t cater for non dairy milk but there are plenty of other things to choose from in the little store. There was also a bathroom upstairs.

Nice range of chairs and tables, spacious inside. Excellent strength cappuccino and good fresh cakes. Toilets are very clean and tastefully appointed.

Lovely tea, lovely village, however staff need to chill out a bit and be a little more friendly, it’s a cute village tea shop!

On a road trip to Dorset this was a delightful discovery in a pretty village off the main road. Lovely coffee and tasty scones (one of the best we have had) as well as friendly staff and clean surroundings.

Popped in this pleasant little tea room this morning before going off with the local rambling group. Very pleased to see a wide selection of teas on offer. My favourite tea is an Indian chi tea which I was pleasantly surprised to see on the menu.

Beatons had a welcoming feel about it and it was warm and comfortable. The two members of staff were friendly. However the potato and leek soup was very thin watery and there was a long wait for a very dry jacket potato and cheese and toast. The cake selection was very good and coffee was also good. I feel the soup had been watered down as it was a late lunch and perhaps there had not been quite enough left for two decent bowls. It was a shame but to sum up, food not recommended but atmosphere was fine.

Great place for lunch. Relaxed and yummy food. Selection of drinks ranging from many different teas, coffees, chilled drinks and Amazing hot chocolate!

We stopped here for lunch before visiting Old Wardor Castle. We were a family of 4 with 2 children under 10. We had tea and our boys had the milkshakes and they were all lovely. We had the cheese on toast, tuna cheese and chilli on toast, ham wrap and the macaroni cheese special. All were delicious. It is a small team room with but worth the wait if it is busy. The staff were friendly and whilst the food took a little while it was definitely worth the wait. The cakes looked really tempting. Will definitely be back again.

I visited recently and had a very nice Latte and chose a piece of I think it was banana cake sandwiches like a Victoria Sponge. A little pricey for a portion, reasonable sized piece but the icing, filling was a little tasteless and too much of it. The cake was a bit heavy and not very flavoursome. Disappointing. Coffee was lovely though and if youre brave enough in the recent conditions, to sit outside, its a great spot to watch the driving shenanigans of some of the people parking and driving through ;-)

First visit here but had read positive reports so was hoping for enjoyable lunch. Perhaps it was an off day but on the basis of today's visit, I doubt I'd return.

This charming teahouse is well appointed with the namesake photographer's pictures throughout. Aside from a delightful staff, freshly made breakfasts and baked goods with a large selection of high quality teas and coffees, Beatons offers cozy upholstered chairs near the fireplace and small tables for intimate conversations as well as a few large tables for groups. Everything here is tailored to fit everything else. The waitstaffs uniforms are unblemished, the walls are clean, the cups and saucers are unchipped. Everything is tastefully coordinated. Outdoor seating is available also for watching taking in the atmosphere of this cute little village

Having had a cup of tea recently in a cafe where I was given a teabag in its unopened packet, this made quite a contrast. Loose-leaf tea had been put into a home-made teabag, placed into a pretty teapot, and an egg-timer provided to tell you when best to remove the teabag and pour the tea. It worked, as a delicious cup of tea was poured and enjoyed in a matching cup. The slice of cheese on toast to go with this was a bit mean on the cheese (see photo), but still tasty and came with a little salad, minus onions, as asked. Not cheap - our two snacks and drinks came to about £15, but a pleasant stop.

We popped in for lunch today and had a really tasty light lunch. I can recommend the house special soda which was delicious. The range of teas was incredible. I plumped for a delicious pot of jasmine flower green tea. The Chocolate cake was to die for!

Better than the chain brands you see in the towns and cities. Good choice and different types of coffee and tea. Very smart with a sense of style. Books for sale as well. Food looks good although I only had time for a coffee. Plenty of parking away from the high street and it’s free. Worth using. Will use again.

We are regular visitors to Beatons, the staff are always nice and the ambience is pleasant. Tea, coffee and cakes are very nicely presented and of a high standard.

Called in for a treat and ordered 2 Beaton's Big Breakfasts a Cafetiere of their excellent Ethiopian Coffee and a Glass of Water.

Two weeks ago myself and family visited this lovely tea room in Tisbury, Beatons, there was a good selection of cakes, sandwhiches light lunches and wide variety of both hot and cold drinks. Their hot chocolate was brilliant according to our grand children, 'real melted chocolate' Myself and daughter in law went for the carrot cake, we found it a little heavy for our taste, perhaps a smaller piece would have been better. can not fault the ambience, and the polite service we recieved. certainly will return.

The tea itself was great, the scones were ok, a bit crumbly and dry.

We had a lovely walk in this quaint village, and Beaton's tearooms looked like a nice cafe. We were not disappointed, the sandwiches were very good, and all the food was of good quality and fresh. We had some cakes as well, and they were very good. Would recommend this cafe!

Have been to Beatons a few times. For a coffee or lunch with family and friends. Every time the service is superb. Very courteous and professional. Food is always good and they have a fab range of Coffee and Teas. If you can, go for breakfast. The bacon and Cheddar bagel is the thing dreams are made of!

We visit fairly frequently. The wide selection of books on art and photography os a bonus, the choice of drinks and cakes is wide, and the service delightful.

I love coming to Tisbury and meeting my mum at Beatons has become a fairly regular treat for us.

This little cafe is right in the middle of Tisbury. In addition to the inside seating area it has 3 outside tables which is nice a good day. They have placed little blankets for the chillier days which is a nice, welcoming touch.

Always try to pop into Beatons if I'm in the area . The Italian hot choc is amazing. On this visit had some really yummy scones they are huge so was happy to share. Looking forward to my next visit .

Stopped off for a morning coffee and cake. And got just that. Everything was tasty and nicely served- good coffee.
