Court Yard Cafe in Shropshire

We came across this cafe during our recent visit to the town. The food was lovely as was the coffee. The staff were lovely and attentive and made us feel very welcome. Thank you and we will definitely aim to come back when we next visit. The takeaway cheese scone we had later was also really lovely.

I had a lovely welcome when I went in with my dog. She was offered a treat pretty much straight away. The menu was lovely, a bit of something for everyone. I decided on Welsh rarebit and an oatmilk latte. The latte came and it was good and tasty, but not bitter. There was water to help yourself to on the side, near the till. The rarebit arrived piled high with the cheese mix on sourdough toast. It was excellant, my dog enjoyed it too. There was a side salad, which I didn't want, but it looked good. I had a lovely chat to one of the owners about concerts. I opted fora toasted teacake with butter and jam. It was large and tasty, my dog helped me with this too. I bought two slices of lemon drizzle cake for my parents. They said it was beautiful and light. I enjoyed my visit to the Courtyard and will definitely return soon.

Excellent customer service, and lovely homemade cake and coffee. A little gem of a place…. so busy! As soon as a seat was vacated it was filled.

What an amazing hidden gem this place is❤️❤️❤️ We stumbled across this place on a mooch around Oswestry and oh my life aren’t we glad we did. The food alone was amazing but the customer service was outstanding. As a vegan and vegetarian we usually end up with not a great deal of choice but here my hubby had herby mushrooms in a jacket potato and it was lush and the drinks and alternate milk were fab.

Lovely tearoom - great staff. Excellent food and very good value. Will definitely go back. I keep saying to my husband who I went with what a very good lunch we had there.

2nd visit Another superb visit to the tea room Staff are really lovely. Nice to find a dog friendly place and they made our pup feel welcome with treat. Lovely location and food is very good. Worth a visit

Delightful little cafe. Brought back memories of my childhood going to a cafe as payment for helping with the shopping! Good service, clean, simple but substantial snacks served by people who care about their business. Small and busy place. I would have given more stars but we couldn’t get service for a cake ( though tbh didn’t need) Definitely go for a lovely cheese on toast with a twist

This place is simply lovely. It was how attractive the setting was that drew us in. Boy was it worth it! We only had teas, coffees and a slice of rocky road but it was the best rocky road I have ever eaten. Both Sandra and TJ (the owners) spoke to us whilst we were there and were so proud when we told them how good we thought this place was. They really do deserve to do well. On a slightly more unusual note they have one of the best toilet doors I have ever seen. You really do just have to read it. Will we go back. Absolutely yes.

A quirky café with really friendly staff and great food with a fab selection of teas. Oh, and the scones are delicious! Vegetarian friendly as well. All in all a smashing place to go.

We were visiting Oswestry for the day and wanted a cute little Tea Room to visit for tea and cake. This place certainly didn't disappoint. As the name suggests there is a courtyard to sit in which is very pretty but quite popular so we sat inside. The inside is also lovely and has traditional tearoom style decor. Staff are friendly and helpful and there is table service. We chose tea and latte and some Biscoff cake. We were pleased to find they also serve a choice of milk alternative as I prefer Oat Milk. I would definitely recommend this place and would visit again.

After a disappointing visit to the closed heritage railway we visited the nearby town center and found the Courtyard Tearooms. We were served by the friendly waitress staff at our table and ordered coffee's. The waitress apologized because of the backlog but it was not long before our coffee's came. A very pleasant area outside to sit and have coffee's. Recommended visit.

Super little gem, away from the main stretch of town, inside is warm and inviting, outside terrace is a lovely suntrap, Tables available in the shade. The owners & staff are friendly and welcoming, Dogs are welcome with Bowls of water out for them and my collie loves his puppy ice cream treat. The menu is clear and the food is delicious. There is an amazing selection of cakes and the homemade scones are baked fresh daily. Extensive range of Teas and their fruity iced Teas are perfect thirst quenchers Can not recommend highly enough

Happened across this by chance and wow what a find! It was a little too damp to sit in the courtyard itself on the day we visited but the inside was welcoming. The staff are very pleasant, greeted with smiles and the whole place is lovely and clean. We only intended to have a cuppa but decided to try food - omelette with spinach and soup of the day (pea and mint) with cheese scone - both absolutely delicious. Scone was warm and soup homemade , the omelette was light and fluffy with just enough spinach, served with salad. Definitely recommended . We didn’t partake in cake but can say they looked mouth watering delectable. And whilst seems strange to add, the facilities were clean and whilst it’s just the one it is worth a visit just to give you a chuckle - you will know what I mean when you pay a visit! We will definitely be back and try the cakes next time

The cutest little dog friendly cafe! We were looking for somewhere to eat with the dog and stumbled upon this little hidden cafe. We sat outside underneath the umbrellas and there were blankets on the chairs too, incase you got too cold. The staff came out to take our order and Scamp the dog was given some dog biscuits too. Inside the cafe is so lovely too. There aren't many tables inside, but still room to move through the cafe. We had a toastie to share, as Scamp was getting impatient but the food was lovely and reasonably priced. Would certainly go back and visit again.

After the warmest of welcomes we had delicious home-made sweet-potato and lentil soup with a dash of lemon, served with home-baked wholemeal bread and a pat of butter (how refreshing and eco-friendly to see it not wrapped!). To finish we had a large home-made friut scone and butter with a pot of tea served in dainty rosebud cups. The staff were so friendly despite being very busy on Mother's Day weekend. Along with the wonderful fayre they made our visit really memorable.

Absolutely lovely little cafe! Very cosy and gorgeously decorated, I particularly loved the "doodles" in the bathroom! I had a rarebit which was absolutely delicious, very cheesy and tasty. I had a hot chocolate with it as well which was super chocolatey and delicious. Would highly recommend!

Oh my, such a fab little place. Really quirky menu, tried new things and every course tasted exquisite. Tastiest mince pie with brandy creme and the tipsy marzipan tea was just lovely. Live near Stoke but will most definitely return. Such friendly, relaxed staff made it a lovely experience. Well worth a visit! Happy Christmas from Diane and Steve xx

The Courtyard Tearooms are unique and a pleasure to visit. The owners are so very friendly, welcoming and the Tearooms cosy and warm. It is a credit to them. They have achieved something special here. Prices are reasonable, food really tasty and fresh. A little gem in Oswestry. This business deserves to thrive and be supported. I visit each week and the standards are always maintained. Highly recommended.

I popped in for lunch today, it was wet and windy and I noticed the A frame on the pavement. The courtyard itself is super cute with quite a few seats. Inside it is cosy and so welcoming. The menu is varied and well priced, it has lots of homemade options. The decor is lovely and the staff members were really welcoming. Food was delicious, will definitely be back.

This place is absolutely amazing. It’s a lovely small cafe/ bistro run by the loveliest people. The food is incredible. I have been so many times now and I always have the jacket potato with cheese and beans and salad it’s so tasty. I highly...

Visited while staying with friends such lovely staff and place to stop at. We will definitely return

We visited the Courtyard Tea Rooms for lunch based on its reviews and we weren't disappointed. Tucked away up a side street, the tea rooms are tiny - probably only about 20 covers, but expanding outdoors in good weather - but tables are not squashed...

Ate lunch again here in October - seating outside and very qualint decor. Proper tea pots and vintage china cups and saucers. We both had a tuna and mayo sandwhch which came with a great side salad and totila chips - all very clean. Good...

Paninis to die for, delicious cheese and onion quiches. Great hidden gem. Beautifully decorated with friendly staff.

Tea is served in bone china. The staff are lovely and service is fast. The food is tasty too. Great choice of cakes.

Very rarely do we find a restaurant with staff who have great knowledge of Coeliac disease, among other things; we were so grateful! My Mum could have a full meal rather than just a jacket potato, which is a rare thing.The prices were very reasonable, and we could've even had dessert if we hadn't been too full - if we lived closer we'd be here all the time!

Called for lunch on a beautiful sunny afternoon which was perfect for sitting in the charming courtyard. I had a toasted sandwich and my husband a sandwich both of which came with side salad, coleslaw and Doritos. Waitress was lovely, friendly and most hospitable to all visitors. Good vegetarian and vegan options available too. Thank you!

This cafe is well placed in the centre of Oswestry and offers a nice light lunch. Nothing particularly special but a nice small indoor area with a small outdoor space. If you need a quick lunch in Oswestry then the Courtyard will do you.

Lovely lunch, everything was lovely and fresh. Had a cheese and tomato toasted sandwich which was lovely. Unfortunately we had our dog with us so couldn't eat inside however therewas a small table outside under cover which we sat at to eat our meal. There was a heater above to keep us warm and nothing was too much trouble for the nice staff.

Very cute little cafe, good tea. Serves hot food as well. Food was good. Would definitely recommend!

What a fantastic tea room and service to match. We stopped for coffee and cake and we weren’t disappointed. Highly recommended and such vslue

Found this lovely little tea room in Oswestry. I had the homemade pea soup and my husband had a bacon sandwich. Both very good. Everything in the cabinet and on display looked lovely.

My wife and I went Friday 5/04/19

We had a really lovely meal - a delicious Christmas nut roast with a selection of salads. It was home-made and packed with goodies. The staff were friendly and the cafe was lovely and cosy. Will be returning soon!!

A mid morning break from shopping took us into this delightful tea room where we enjoyed hot chocolate and scones . There is a menu of teas and coffee along with light meals and snacks and service comes with a smile. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of ‘chain’ coffee shops then look out for The Courtyard Tea Room.

Looking for somewhere to eat a late lunch in Oswestry on our way eastwards, home following a week in North Wales, I took the advice offered on Trip Advisor to try The Courtyard Tearooms. We had to pay to park nearby, but the Tearooms offered a reasonably priced menu, which offered a number of good choices, making it worthwhile. I had the day’s special of cheese and onion quiche. The quiche was tasty, light and fluffy, served warm with freshly cooked new potatoes, a generous amount of salad and creamy, chunky coleslaw. My husband had a sausage and fried egg sandwich, which he also enjoyed, washed down with a cappuccino decorated with a seasonably suitable chocolate sprinkle in the shape of a snowflake. We would certainly call again if we were in the town, perhaps to try one of the delicious looking cakes on offer. Highly recommended.

A quick lunch on Saturday, pleasant surroundings, clean and tidy. Granary bread fresh and coronation chicken spot on. The cakes are home made and looked fab. Tea served in quirky tea pots and bone china cups and saucers. Atmosphere pleasant and friendly staff. A great little place, keep it up

e had lunch in here this week and the food was really good. Home made quiche and lovely Bacon, brie & cranberry toasted panini. Good value for money and friendly staff.

Found this cafe down an alley off the main street in Oswestry. Friendly service and generous helpings. Plenty of tea with excellent scones. If back in Oswestry would make a beeline for it for lunch.

Just found this little tea room hidden away in a small courtyard off Leg street. It’s a lovely tea room with linen tablecloths. The menu offers a good variety of food inc vegan dishes at reasonable prices. There is also a notice for anyone with food allergies to notify the staff so that they can cater accordingly. We will recommend this tea room to others and will definitely call again

A very quaint tearoom with six tables inside and six tables outside makes the cafe cosy.

Had a late breakfast here and it didn't disappoint. Good range of options including a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan items. Nice outdoor seating area too and very friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit.

Great little place - very cute with tables clothes, china cups with out-side seating.

Hidden Gem with wonderful food and great service! It even has a fantastic range of Gluten Free & Vegetarian food - nut roast (gf/v), cauliflour cheese (gf/v) sandwiches (gf/v), jacket potato and cakes (gf/v/d). V. impressed - far surpassed expectation! 🤗💜

Very nice location and lovely sandwich and service. Found the place by accident and it is a gem. The food is fresh and beautifully prepared and presented

This place is very quaint but is absolutely delicious. We only had hot beverages but the photos speak for themselves. Staff and Owner are very sweet, knowledgeable and I enjoyed the opportunity of sitting outside in the shade. Definitely go again!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch in this quirky & quaint tea room on a sunny Saturday. The friendly staff coped effortlessly with the busy café. There was a great choice on the menu, including vegetarian & vegan. Our ham salad & cheese & chutney sandwiches were served with a generous side of salad, coleslaw & crisps. Drinks were mocha & soya latte which were hot & tasty. I tried the very scrummy, home-made rhubarb upside down cake for afters, as it was just calling to me! So glad I heard it! Highly recommended cafe - seek it out! You won't be disappointed.

Friendly staff yummy bacon and egg sandwich and lady grey tea for me and bacon sandwich and cappuccino for husband (5% of coffee goes to Alzheimer’s )Gorgeous little court yard and cute loo , love the sign inside the loo also have vegan and gluten free options- cakes looked yummy too. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend

We needed some lunch and were looking around Oswestry when we came across this lovely tea room by chance. It was a lovely day and so it was quite busy. We found a table inside and the friendly helpful waiter came and took our order even though it was counter service.

Visited here last week with my daughter and sat outside in the courtyard in the sun. We had lovely fresh paninis and scrummy rhubarb cake afterwards with a pot of tea. Good quality fresh homemade food with very reasonable prices and friendly staff. We will be returning.

My partner and I came across this place by chance. The food is amazing and the staff are lovely. It has a fantastic range of options to suit a vegetarian diet, which we were really impressed with! Can’t wait to come back!

My husband and I found this little gem quite by chance on a house hunting visit to Oswestry. It has half a dozen tables inside (which we used the first time) and outside in a little sun-filled courtyard (which we used the second time). My husband says the milkshakes are to die for and he also highly recommends the Coronation Chicken baked potato. I just loved the quiches - properly wobbly and with good shortcrust pastry, too.

This is a delightful cafe tucked into a courtyard close to the town centre. We have stopped here a couple of times before on the way to North Wales.

We were delighted that we found this little cafe. The service was prompt and the food nicely presented and fresh. We had paninis and the lasagne and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend it.

We’ve stopped at the Courtyard a few times when touring on our bikes as we pass through Oswestry. Always friendly and great food. But most importantly- Great Coffee!!!

Although this establishment is small (6 tables) the staff are friendly and the food, though simple, is of a good quality. If you require a warm meal at lunchtime then this is well worth a visit.

The owners were friendly, food was good, deal of free coffee with hot meal was appreciated. environment had that pleasant tea shop ambience, recommended

Very cosy tea room with good coffee. Classic home made cafe food. Friendly, welcoming staff. Well worth stopping by.

We come here at least once a fortnight (often every week) and always leave as happy customers. The food is the best quality and the staff always cater to your needs. The coleslaw is divine and after asking for a takeaway portion the owner offered to order in special containers.

First visit to the tea room, very friendly staff, vintage style teapots and cups, excellent choice of food and well presented. Dog friendly in the court yard and accessible toilet downstairs. Would recommend.

My husband and I stumbled across this delightful Tea Rooms on our visit to Oswestry. It is tucked away next...

We went for a cup of tea toast and toasted teacake. The range of different teas were a delight to...

Absolutely adorable cafe. Loved the interior, also seating outside. Good choice of food and drink. I had quiche with green...

Great little find. Cute and old school hidden in the courtyard Nice to find something traditional and a good choice...

We chose to sit outside in the courtyard. It was very pleasant. We enjoyed our meal. The quiche was well...

We chose to sit outside in the courtyard, which was quite relaxing. Service was polite and prompt and food was of good quality and sufficient quantity to satisfy us well!

We were so happy to find this little place the tea is served in a beautiful China tea set and the food is soo fresh my husband had a ploughman's and I had a lovely ham salad with all and I mean all the trimmings.

If you're looking for a cosy sweet little place to eat lunch or grab a hot drink this is the place. Warm, friendly owner who goes out of her way to help you. Many gluten free (GF) options, freshly made. Nut cake entree, cream soups, gluten free breads. Leia Organa coffee in honour of Carrie Fisher!

Just stopped for a light lunch. They had sold out of some basics so had to order alternatives. The coffee was good and the food was tasty and fresh. The service was also good.

Coffee was 1st class. Food was nice and fresh although ploughmans lunch could have been more varied. All out of Diet Coke and white bread at the time of our visit but still a cracking little cafe

Passed this cafe many times,it always seems very busy,decided to try and it's great,quite traditional which is so refreshing these days. Coffee was lovely and the sandwiches we had were very fresh and tasty.we did have to wait a while but we were warned so that was fine.will return.

We visited Oswestry for the first time in many years on a sunny Saturday, and decided to walk around studying the numerous eateries in this pleasant town (which on the day had a healthy 'buzz' about it) before making our selection. We eventually happened on this option which nestles in the Courtyard (no surprises there!) of the Griffin Inn in Leg Street.We were initially attracted by the menu which was both interesting and attractively priced, and then moved into an inside table (the outdoor ones were predictably popular on what was a delightful Summers day).Service was prompt and very friendly and we were able to select items with a 'local' element. The light lunches were served promptly and with a homely approach throughout. We felt that our meals far surpassed expectations, and represented very good value. We always enjoy, small, essentially locally operated venues as we visit different places because it so often seems that those working there put a great deal of themselves into making the experience work. This was very much in that vein and we are happy to post a very favourable report about our visit as a whole.

The food was good and the staff were friendly. Bit disappointed with the tea, this was served in a large tea pot with just one tea bag, subsequently it was pretty weak.Will eat there again but will have a coffee next time.

Called for a light lunch and bought the last two scones - which were excellent. Tea was good coffee just ok. Proper teapot & teacup too!

I had a full English breakfast here and it was delicious. Often a full breakfast can give me heartburn; not his one. All parts were well cooked and not greasy. The tea was also very good - extra points for the porcelain cup and pot.

We planned to visit Oswestry today but had never had lunch here before so looked on the internet for recommendations.. This little gem of an eatery was highly rated and so we tried it. Well - it is nothing short of SUPERB! The pictures showed that it might be more than your basic tearoom and the setting, in a courtyard off Leg Street makes it more like a lunch time bistro. There are several tables outside and more inside. A very hot day so we found a shaded table outside. A quite extensive menu with a very attractive salad section, featuring several choices to which we each added 4 components from the list below. We both had cheese and ham to which I added green,rice,pasta and coleslaw. A simple bottle of dressing was brought with the other condiments, very efficiently and quickly and our meals were served soon afterwards. Absolutely brilliant - proper ham, mature cheese - 2 good sized wedges and salads as fresh as could be. After a poor culinery experience elsewhere on Sunday we were happy that this lovely place did us so proud.A range of desserts and we chose apple pie [with ice cream] and chocolate fudge cake [ice cream again! custard also available] which were superb again.Staff who are quietly brilliant, a wonderful setting, super food and very reasonably priced.menu [Breakfasts, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and other delights available]

Stumbled upon this delightful tea room. Had a delicious lunch that included salad and boiled potatoes instead of having greasy fries. After travelling for a period of time it is pleasing to be able to find a restaurant that serves "homelike" food...

First class home cooked food, the staff were polite and very helpful. Our overall experience was enjoyable

Attractive cosy tea room just like they used to be with an outdoor seating area.Good choice of home made cakes. The bara brith is worth five stars on it's own. Coffee is good too.

I visited the Courtyard Tea Rooms with my mum and my 3 year old daughter. What a lovely little tea room tucked away. Such a refreshing change to see some varied choices on the menu including teas and coffees, my daughter loved her chocolate milkshake. The food and cakes are really very good and very tasty, I had a delicious homemade soup. The staff were very friendly nothing seemed too much trouble and they were accommodating towards my daughter, they will do anything on the menu at smaller portion. Overall a lovely lunch here and will definitely be returning. Thankyou!

This was our first visit, but when we are in the area again, we will certainly visit again. Service was excellent, as was the food( I can recommend the steak pie) and was value for money. Quantity and quality was excellent and we had the best cup of tea whilst eating out, we've had for a good many years. A wide menu that should have something for everyone.

We often call here and it is always excellent small inside area with a nice sheltered patio on a warm day. Friendly helpful staff. Reasonable prices. Little toilet. Great menu allowing you to create your own dish. Would recommend it to everyone but you need to find it behind The Griffin Pub and The Florist shop.

This tea room is slightly off the beaten track in the town but well worth a visit. It is small but has a relaxed friendly atmosphere and also has nice decor. The food we had was very good, freshly made and tasty. Portion sizes are good and could not really fault it overall. It has a lovely courtyard to eat outside in better weather. A good range of eating options on offer, considerably above the standard range offered at many places.

A hidden gem in the heart of Oswestry. Three adults for lunch, superb chilli, rice, mini naan bread and salad. Ham and cheese salad with many side salads. Great old fashioned puds, the ginger and date and old fashioned rice pud, were both great. The service was first class and I would recommended this gem.

The place is small but caters for everything you need in a cafe. Very quaint and the staff were very helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

On a windy and wet Monday we were delighted to come across this hidden gem in the middle of Oswestry. Very little was open but we were pleased to fin the Courtyard Tea Rooms. We were immediately welcomed in and after ordering didn't have long to wait before our food arrived. Food was great value for money and the large pot of tea was more than welcomed!Staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for all the customers that were there at the time of our visit. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

Tucked away in a quiet spot, unaffected by traffic and close to the shops and market an ideal place to have a coffee. The inside of the tea room is quaint , clean and warm.Coffee is nicely served and hot. When the weather is warmer the outside seating area is very pleasant the walls being decorated with metal butterflies.

Lovely little tucked away place off the road but central. There was a good range of food/snacks with quick and very friendly service. The coffees are good too and come in good sized cups. There is a great collection of fresh cakes to choose from too! We were very pleasantly pleased by the bill too - very reasonable. Seating is tightly packed and 'intimate' but there is great seating outside for when the summer comes! Dogs allowed outside too. Well worth a visit!

Lovely owners and service with a smile. Extensive menu, something for everyone, really nice sitting outside in the summer among the flowers. Good homemade cakes too!

Eager to find a cafe during a rain shower in Oswestry, I fortunately spotted the Courtyard's sign outside its hideaway location. My wife and I only had tea and a scone/teacake, but we were impressed by the friendly welcome, the interesting range of teas, the attractive crockery and the ambience.The cafe also had a range of meals available, and we heard other customers expressing satisfaction with them.

Had a superb afternoon tea here. China cups well worth a visit . Lovely welcome . Tea cakes were lush , for a small cafe they do supply a goood menu.
