Buckingham Tea Room in Aylesbury Vale

What a little gem! In a sea of mundane chain coffee shop that have taken over Buckingham, this really stands out as something unique. The first thing that hits you is the theming…such amazing attention to detail! It really does feel like you’re stepping back into time. Then there’s the tea itself - a fantastic selection all served in teapots as it should be. We only had cakes but if the rest of the menu is as good as they were, you’re in for a treat. Final mention to the staff - all very polite and friendly. We will be back!

I love the ambience. The food is superb. This will be my favourite place now for afternoon tea. I will come back again.

I think this might be the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had. So many delicious treats, traditional but also interesting and unbelievable for the price. A wonderful range of savoury and sweet treats. I will definitely be back.

I had afternoon tea in a large group. The food was divine and it was a big plus to get some really tasty savour dishes instead of the usual sandwiches. The scones and sweet dishes were also top notch. One of the party had the lamb stroganoff which was delicious. The setting was quirky and quaint - really special. The waitress had her hands full with 18 covers all at once & what was really 4 courses but she couldn't have been more obliging, polite and efficient. A real asset to her employer. It was therefore frustrating that she couldn't receive a tip through the card payment system which was disappointing as no one carries cash much these days and she did a fabulous job. Overall, I highly recommend and would come back.

First visit for a birthday afternoon tea, which was absolutely divine. The ambience is really quaint with appropriately themed unobtrusive music right through to the decor and furnishing. The savouries were absolutely beautiful and a sensation of taste pairings. Fantastic service too with a cute bell for attention on every table. We are local and will definitely go back!

I really enjoyed the time there it was lovely the food 🤤 I recommend having a look at the menu before you booked if you don't like something and it is worth it write a comment because they will change for you. They were really kind and everything was handmade and made just that day. We will repeat for sure 😊. For the parking it was like 90p 3h in the city center near Waitrose it is just 2 min walking from the tea room. 🇪🇸I had a great time with my husband, I advise you to read the menu before going in case you are picky about food because everything was really delicious and I saw people leaving part of the food, write to them and they will change it for you, I am vegetarian so I asked for that option. They are super friendly and we will go again and repeat

Superb place with good food and drink, just happened to see it passing through before going back home up north

An absolute gem of a find! What a beautiful place to just sit and take in the vibe while eating the most amazing food (the cakes are phenomenal especially the pistachio). And a fabulous pot of tea with bone china mugs. Outstanding!!

What a fantastic tea room. I can honestly say the tea was excellent, and the baguette (mushroom, cheese, and caramelised onion) was fantastic. The icing on the cake was the selection of cakes and scones. I have never tasted better. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere for relaxing. I will be back and would recommend it to anyone whilst in Buckingham.

Afternoon tea was out of this world!

We went last Sunday and It was a great experience, fully immersed in British atmosphere with sophisticated furniture and awesome winter decorations. It seemed to make a jump back in medieval time. Afternoon tea was delicious with new tastes and food, well introduced by Valentina, so kind and professional. Thanks 😊

Second visit and just as good - friendly welcome which continued throughout our afternoon. Highly recommend the celebratory afternoon tea - so nice to have something other than sandwiches - the menu is fantastic and everything was so tasty - loved the different options provided and all was 10/10 Certainly won't be the last time we visit

Very nice cafe and nice weather and staff

Friendly people and we created a nice experience for an old café You must reserve a table

Awful experience. Was charged £28.95 per person for an afternoon tea. Booked in advance with notes of dietary requirements, they accepted the booking. I requested vegetarian food, no eggs and no fish and caffiene free green tea. They had plenty of time to accommodate for us and as we got there, they proceeded to tell us all foods contained egg (we didn't want omelettes/boiled eggs or items that contained these) and that they didn't have decaf green tea even though these were my specific requirements. We stayed through afternoon tea and ate what we could. They then told us, the price of 28.95 only included 1 tea, which was cold by the time the food came out, usually afternoon teas are with unlimited tea? Finally, the rest of the food came out and we were served scallops and lamb casserole... despite being clear on the dietary requirements!!! Lack of care or customer service. Lastly, we had a gift card to pay for the 2 teas, the man then came out and said we only had £20 on the giftcard and that we had to pay the remaining £40. I asked to look at the gift card and it wasn't even the one with my name on it!!! Why do I feel like he was trying to get more money from us?! Just a poor and rubbish experience, particularly for the price paid. I've been to other afternoon teas £25 for 2 people and come back with a full stomach and all my dietary requirements met!

On a one day visit to Buckinham we decided to pop in to the Team Room for breakfast because it looked so inviting from the outside. We were given a very warm welcome and took a table for two in the window. It is a lovely room with each table having unique china tea cups and a small brass bell so you can summon service. Of course we had to try this and it worked as someone arrived with a smile. I fancied a bacon sandwich and despite this not being on the menu I was obliged without fuss, and my partner chose Eggs Royale which was very good. The tea was fun, served in china. It was a good breakfast, at a fair price, and served cheerfully in a fun environment.

Absolutely amazing. This place is so beautiful, food is so lovely too. Attention to detail is outstanding

We had a really lovely afternoon tea here. The food was beautifully presented and truly delicious. This is probably the best afternoon tea I've had. The friendly staff bring it out in stages on 3 separate cake stands. I would definitely recommend booking this as a birthday treat. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful place with a really nice cosy feel and great character. Loved all the details. Food was lovely and service was 10/10! Great experience right in the heart of Buckingham town centre.

It's the third time I have had Afternoon Tea at this quirky yet delightful Buckingham Tea Room and, as always, have been suitably impressed. Even if you go for the more traditional menu, just being transported away to a different time is worth the experience.

I love this place and I will definitely go back. Enjoyed our afternoon tea with friends. Everything was delicious, freshly cooked and baked😋 I can't fault anything that was on the platter. It's not just the basic afternoon tea we are used to. It has that classy vibe. Friendly staff and the place is very clean. You need to book in advance.

Lovely experience, friendly staff. Really tasty breakfast.

Undeserved snobbery at its finest. My partner and I visited today. The proprietor looked pejoratively at us before asking whether we had a reservation despite there being vacant unreserved tables. Reluctantly he showed us a table, offered us a menu then ignored us for 15 minutes despite my trying to make eye contact each time he passed us. We left. The decor is chintzy and gaudy with artificial plastic flowers. The owner has tried to keep it dust free, however has failed A multicoloured plastic emporium reminiscent of Miss Haversham house.

Possibly the most underdeservingly pretentious place l've ever been to. Chintzy and a tad dusty. Proprietor looked down at myself and my partner, and despite empty tables which weren't reserved asked if we had a reservation. Reluctantly showed us a table and then ignored us for 15 minutes. We left.

This is a small tearoom serving first class food in an over the top quirky setting. Loved it, and the competent young man who served us. The food was innovative and well above the average. The afternoon tea was simply amazing.

Me and my husband went for an afternoon tea at this beautiful historic stone house in Buckingham town . Service was amazing.. especially Andy so welcoming and polite 🫖☕🧁🥧🥂 Lovely view of a castle and the Buckingham high street. Had an amazing experience. Would definitely be back .

This is a hidden gem in Buckingham, you could easily go straight past but you would be missing a treat. The food, the staff and the feel of the place is just great, you are made to feel special no matter what you go there for.

Amazing! So much more than a tea room. How did we miss this last time? It's a few steps past the pedestrian crossing in the High Street, going downhill. An intimate space, quirky, clean, and with the most amazing customer service. Within minutes we felt like part of the family; even ended up having a conversation with another customer. Food was delicious, different, hot and served with a smile. I cannot recommend highly enough. Their Summer Risotto was a real treat.

تجربة أروع من الرائعة سأكرر التجربة كثير من الأوقات ان شاءالله 😍🇬🇧♥️

Wow what an absolutely amazing place , how I’ve walked past it so many times without going in heaven knows . Well today I planned to visit from a lovely welcome from Andy the service was brilliant and the scones melted in my mouth absolutely delicious . I will certainly be a regular visitor going forward and bringing my friends . What an absolute treat you won’t be disappointed .

Staff are lovely, nothing too much trouble and food fresh and delicious! Top marks!

First time going to these tea rooms what a treat afternoon tea like no other not a sandwich in site you need to try it . Make sure you are hungry though. Lovely venue .

Absolutely perfect, unique experience. The food and service was first class. Highly recommend to you all.

What a lovely treat!. My daughter had arranged the celebration afternoon tea along with prosecco , as a Mothers day present. The tea room is so pretty and the owner was very welcoming. The tiers of savoury (including lamb & mushroom stroganoff) and sweet were all amazing, both in presentation and taste. The asaam tea I opted for was perfect . My daughter had the rose tea which she also said was really nice. We have indulged in many afternoon teas over the years and this was amongst the best, also excellent value for money. 100% recommend. I hope to visit again in the future!

Absolutely 1st class enjoyed the food the atmosphere and the staff are truly fantastic and presentation also 1st class. Thank you for a lovely afternoon today.

Oh my days what an afternoon tea that was , been before but this time the only things that were the Sam were the savoury & sweet scones Not a sandwich on site , the lamb stroganoff with fried rice was amazing, so many different courses I had to bring some home Would highly recommend the place service was faultless food absolutely amazing Will return hubby was well impressed as well, you can’t rush this you have to savour every mouthful The best afternoon tea we’ve had and I’ve had a few Definitely 5+ if I could Thanks you for a lovely afternoon

We visited Buckingham Tea Room twice. Our visit in April was a 5 star experience with amazing food and attentive service. The waitress created a luxury experience and paced the meal perfectly. Now, today we went to Buckingham Tea Room to celebrate Father's Day and I wish we didn't. The food was still amazing, but service ruined the experience for us and most likely we won't be back any time soon. The afternoon tea felt rushed at first with the next course arriving before we even finished the current one. Then we were completely neglected and left alone struggling to get anyone's attention to even get a bill. The staff was inattentive. First we felt rushed as if they wanted us to leave asap, then completely forgotten. Overall, I would expect better service when I'm spending over £90 for a meal for 2 adults and a child.

Lovely decor, attentive polite staff and really delicious food. We had a freshly baked baguette each served with a delicious salad. However, it would have been nice to see some vegan options displayed on the menu though.

You will always leave feeling like you just ate at a 5 star restaurant. The Buckingham Tea Room is a small restaurant serving some of the most excellent food I’ve ever had, and is very affordable. I can’t recommend it enough. Everything is homemade by the owner and chef, who is extremely talented. Book in advance every time you go - whether you’re just going for tea and scones or if you’re going all out with the Afternoon Tea experience. It’s very easy to do on their website! Worth it to ensure you get a table. Their scones are light and delectable, both the savory and sweet versions (highly recommend trying both kinds). Their tea options are vast and they’re all of the highest quality. The cakes and sweets have no business being as delicious as they are! And they are presented and decorated in such a stunning manner. You can go for tea and scones, or you can get the Afternoon Tea which includes tea, scones, and a variety of small savory dishes all served on tiered stands. If it’s your first time visiting, I really think you should get the Afternoon Tea so that you can try many of the things that they offer. The small savory foods that I’ve tried there have been some of the best foods I’ve ever eaten in my life. My favorite tea is the English Rose, however the Chai is also excellent! I’ve tried most other types, but these two always stick out. I could go on and on about this place, and talk in detail about every single insanely good thing I’ve eaten here, but instead of doing that - you should just go on their website and book a table as soon as humanly possible, and then you’ll just know what I mean. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Visit as soon as you can, and as often as you can!

Best tea room ever!! So pretty inside Lovely decorations Pretty table layout My husband much enjoyed the cooked breakfast The warm fresh chive scones with homemade kiwi chucney were sensational Go and try them!!

This was the best cream tea we have ever had, it was a perfect blend of innovation and tradition. The environment is quirky and as it’s in a busy High street, not the usual cream tea surroundings. The food was beyond expectations. Really lovely presentation, although very traditional, the quality of the food was amazing and the service was great, really friendly and attentive, event though it got fairly busy. Would definitely recommend and would go back, worth a visit.

Amazing eatery had afternoon tea perfect food and staff highly recommended

Lovely afternoon tea great service will definitely be back

Great experience. Lovely host. Each item of food was amazing. Well priced and great ambience.

We had an Afternoon Tea with family. Amazing food and service. I loved that the savoury lunch type selection were not actually Sandwiches. They're savoury cheese and thyme scones,l with creamy butter and kiwi chutney! You also get to try their main food selection in miniture portions as part of the Afternoon Tea. The sweet food selection was equally amazing. All home-made and high quality. I could taste the butter not oil, lard or margarine. Highly recommended!

This is the most amazing place. I have had many afternoon teas - including at the Ivy but this trumps the lot. The settling is antique charm, the staff are delightful but the food is out of this world. We had the Celebration Afternoon Tea. It was enormous and every component was a taste experience. Heavenly. We were with my autistic daughter and they couldn't have been more welcoming. Go! It is a meal to remember.

You cannot come to Buckingham and not have tea and scones in the Tea Room!

Dropped in for a mid morning coffee, what a delight, lovely welcome, great menu, amazing decor and just fabulous quality and value.

Amazing afternoon tea, friendly staff, the food was delicious, a great experience. Thank you

Very nice tea room. Friendly helpful staff. The food was ok for an English breakfast.

We had a wonderful cream tea and the food and assortment of teas were fantastic. The staff were super friendly and we loved the whole experience.

Visited with family for a birthday afternoon tea - fantastic food and an unusual take on the standard sandwich fayre. All food excellent and mostly home made, beautiful presentation and lovely surroundings.. Plus our waitress couldn't have been more welcoming.. Highly recommended!!

Definitely go here to celebrate a special occasion. Food it fantastic best afternoon tea I have ever had .

I took my daughter to the Tea Room for her birthday treat. We both loved it. Great friendly service. Yummy cakes

Lovely atmosphere and great food

The best tea room In Buckingham! Amazing scones and other patisseries!

Friends booked this as a surprise. Lovely tea room in the middle of Buckingham. So quaint inside, all chinz & china. We had the tea, it was brilliant. Savory truffle mouse with toast and a salad to start, savory scones, cod with holllandaise sauce & lamb bourguignon with savory rice, baileys mouse, raspberry & chocolate filo tart, carrot cake & scones with cream & strawberry jam. All the food was beautifully cooked & presented and tasted great. Service was brill. Will be back.

Best food! Best afternoon tea !!100% recommended!! 😊

A lovely establishment in a beautiful stone house, with traditional British decor and furniture, all together creating a warm and comforting atmosphere. Delicious freshly baked scones and cream, with a proper aromatic blend of a brew to wash them down... and today those Eggs Royale were a real gourmet treat on their own... Britain at its best.

It is always a joy to eat here. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is extremely good. Meals are good and you have a good varied choice of meals. We had a afternoon tea to celebrate our son’s birthday. Would highly recommend eating...

Amazing place Very relaxing I just love it.Great service. For sure I will visit again ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

I have never been here before but after checking the reviews I thought it would be a nice place to take my daughter for afternoon tea for her birthday. A lovely quaint place with friendly staff who welcomed us. We chose our tea and our first plate of food came out and we were told what was on the plate. In all we had 2 single plates and then a cake stand with 4 plates on. Not a sandwich in site a lovely twist to afternoon tea. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely come again.

The afternoon tea set was out of this world. Unique and delicious. Beautiful quaint place, with lovely tea set and decor. Highly recommend this place, but go on a very empty tum because we had 6 plates 🍽 for tea!!

We took my mum here for her birthday it was absolutely amazing. We have had a few afternoon teas and this was one of the best. It is such good value for money and not your usual sandwiches and cakes. The food was delicious and...

We've been coming here since it opened. It was excellent then, and it's excellent now. Staff are attentive and polite. *glass of prosecco (a lovely organic Prosecco) *double espresso (nice a strong flavour) *eggs royale (sauce was delicious, with depth, eggs bright with a deep orange yolk and the salmon was perfect) The place is usually quite busy and have several bookings. On this occasion a walk-in was accommodated. Whether it's a drink you're after or a meal, can't go wrong. Price to quality ratio is superior. Especially considering the price-gouging of new venues in the area.

Lovely afternoon - beautiful tasty food, lots of both savoury and sweet items. All presented so well - fantastic value for everything you get. Lovely service too. Only downside was that it was a warm day and therefore quite warm inside. Other than that, I would highly recommend!!

honestly the worse afternoon tea i have ever had. staff were busy taking to friends. food was inedible. nothing. that resembled an afternoon tea! scones falling apart. didn’t taste like scones. not sure how beef stroganoff is on the menu for afternoon tea. £50 is...

Lovely food and great service. Couldn't fault.

Fantastic dining experience. Lots of unique flavours. The manager is very friendly and hospitible.

A wonderful and charming tea room at the heart of Buckingham, providing all the delicatessen you need for a tea time break in the afternoon. It was yummy and we spent a nice time there. We'll come back

Absolutely delightful. The Queens salad is not only delicious but is presented beautifully. We enjoyed our visit immensely.

Just have to say. Wonderful in the most poetic way. Service , surroundings and plenty of tasty fare.

quaint tearoom, friendly attentive staff. breakfast was great, fair price, and the black pudding the best i`ve had fullstop

I have just returned from having the best afternoon tea I have ever had! What we loved about it was how unique it was. Every part of it was tasty but I loved the savoury parts to the tea, small dishes of lamb stroganoff and...

Lovely afternoon tea, food delicious and excellent service

Went for afternoon tea with three others. Again, wonderful quality, delicious food, both pastries and cakes, very friendly service, very enjoyable.

So beautiful, the food, the staff, I cannot fault it. Afternoon tea with a difference. Don't eat before you go!

Elegant, the perfect Venue for Buckingham, Niki

They started the quality trend: They continue to impress by delivering Quality; no sign of them 'resting on their laurels'. When it first opened.... and there's still only praise for them (from me, anyway): "Best things in small packages". Fine Cream Teas excellent. - Bubbly or Wine by the glass (or bottle) QUALITY all 'round!! Atmospheric surroundings. Service, Presentation, attention to detail. Value for money. Booking at weekends a must. Great Tearooms. A bonus looking at Old Buckingham and a visit to the Old Goal Museum

As a tea room should be, well appointed, reserved and beautiful food and drink. 1940s anyone?

Lovely tea room had breakfast here. Love the loose leave tea reminds me of grandmas House with the bone China tea sets

I visited this cafe for a Saturday morning breakfast treat with another family member. I am shocked by the number of people who award this place such a high rating! I rarely complain or write a bad review- but this time I really have to....

The decor is so wonderfully traditional that the ambience created is very convivial . the service was good as was the coffee and biscuit . I asked for a biscuit to go with coffee and there wasn't really anything typically tearoom on offer although what...

Outstanding, friendly warm service and the food is of the highest quality and standards. I couldn’t recommend it enough, if you’re in Buckingham you should treat yourself. You won’t want to leave it’s one of those places you can truly relax and unwind whilst enjoying...

Lovely tea and tea cake and superb coffee and beautifully decadent little cakes served in a clean and slightly quirky (kitsch in the nicest possible way) cafe/ restaurant. Lovely staff, lovely smells. Chatted to the owner who was happy to discuss future possible menu choices. Anything possible it seems. Highly highly recommended.

We had a celebratory afternoon tea for my mums 70th birthday. It is a lovely local tea room. The service by the staff was excellent and there was a variety of different savoury and sweet dishes that were delicious. I would highly recommend Buckingham Tea...

Visited as part of a large group (10 of us I think) for a festive afternoon. This is my third time visiting for this and again, did not disappoint. The flavours are powerful and interesting so each part of the meal is a different experience....

4 of us went mid-morning. All had special teas and scones,gluten free cake and teacake. Excellent service, very tasty food and ridiculously inexpensive at under£25 in total.

My friend and I went for lunch yesterday. What an enchanting find this was. Although small it is very well thought out and comfortable and quirky with traditional english china cups and teapots. I opted for salmon rissoto which was very flavoursome and my friend...

Best afternoon tea I've ever had! Scones and cakes were oven fresh, jams and chutneys all homemade, top quality ingredients and impressive variety. Great service too and such attention to detail. Will definitely be back.

Normally I would rave about coming here but today not so impressed we were the only customers in there when we ordered breakfast, poached eggs and salmon we got ham and eggs, when it arrived it was tepid, bun under the salmon was Untoasted and...

Got to be the best place for a cream tea in Buckingham. We have been there when it's been the winter and summer Menu and they are all very nice and tasty. Well worth a visit. 👌

Quaint little tearoom,would highly recommend the celebration afternoon tea ,everything home cooked and fresh ,service was amazing

I can't praise this tea room enough ,I'd definitely recommend the celebration afternoon tea everything was home made and so fresh,and our waitress was so lovely

Es un sitio encantador, cuidado al detalle. El servicio y el trato es excelente y no os podéis ir de allí sin pedir los scone y el bizcocho de pistacho. Una delicia!

We wanted a celebration tea for our daughter's 21st, and couldn't get booked in at the Ritz. This made an excellent alternative. Granted, you don't get the ambience of the Ritz, the glitz and the glamour and the flummery of the waiters (actually the table...

The food is absolutely wonderful and the staff are brilliant, I enjoyed every minute there and will definitely be going back.

Excellent service from booking to the amazing food and service given. Afternoon tea here was a gift and throughly enjoyed it. Thanks

5 stars Has a good range of food on menu and offer a celebration afternoon tea which has been great every time I've been staff are always polite great atmosphere and experience definitely recommend

The most fantastic afternoon tea. Would recommend a visit.
