Dolly's Vintage Tea Rooms in Gosport

Visited on Monday 9th October just before 2 oclock and were told we were to late for lunches but could have sanwiches etc. Got the impression that they didnt want us in there as they wanted to close.The food we had was fine but we felt very rushed to finish and leave, sorry but wont be coming back.Not a very welcoming experience.

Four of us had booked in for an afternoon tea. The table was beautifully laid, ready for us as we entered. The afternoon teas were served to us on individual cake stands. We chose our sandwiches from a bewildering array. The cake slices chosen from an in-house display and we could have either a fruit or plain scone. All the scones and cakes are baked by Brenda the owner. I chose the Cadbury cake. It was totally delicious, as were the sandwiches and scones. Definitely recommend this lovely tea room.

Stopped off during a long walk for a quick coffee and sandwich. We ordered a fish finger sandwich and a Brie, bacon and cranberry panini with coffee and sparkling water. The waitress was very welcoming and polite which is nice these days. The tea room is pleasant. When our order arrived we were surprised at the generous size portions, we did not expect large plates with accompanying salad, pot of coleslaw and crisps. I would visit again and recommend it 😃

We regularly meet here for coffee and treats. Always a warm welcome and great service. Sometimes have a breakfast here which is fabulously freshly cooked. Would thoroughly recommend.

I had cottage pie - meat seemed quite lumpy rather than minced and it took ages to come. The first waitress who took my order was very nice but when I asked how long my food would be, after waiting 25 minutes - I had a reply snapped at me by the blonde waitress and when the meal came it was banged down on the table. I'm quite elderly and all I wanted was a stress free lunch as I don't get out much. I was trying to give myself a treat, but went home more depressed than ever. Most people seemed to be having bacon and egg etc, or just toasties - so perhaps I had tested them too far that day.

Visited for coffee & cake. Cake gave us both upset stomach. Waitress very grumpy & uninviting, pretty much threw our cake forks on the table at us when serving. Will not be visiting again.

We are a new family to the area we dropped on dolly’s cafe by chance looking for something to eat and we have never looked back we visit at least twice a week for a lovely welcoming when you enter the cafe/tea room to the lovely clean and inviting place to the fresh cooked food x

Just had a beautiful Christmas meal. The food was excellent and the service spot on. Well done Brenda and the girls. Dolly's is the best.

Great food fresh cooked great prices from breakfast to dinner and snacks plus beautiful cakes. Lovely decor and lovely people

Me and my folks went here the other day and had a cooked breakfast and very nice it was too. My only gripe with the breakfast was the sausage. It was tough and rubbery. I don’t do tough and rubbery. Sausages could be replaced with another brand methinks. But apart from the sausage, the rest was nice and tasty.

A surprise 80th Birthday Afternoon tea for my Aunt for 8 people which we all agreed was fabulous and better than the Ritz ! The spread that Brenda and her team put on was nothing more than wonderful. A lovely selection of sandwiches, sausage rolls and nibbles. Plates of cakes and scones, clotted cream and jam with endless pots of tea and coffee. The table was decorated to celebrate my Aunts 80th with banners, balloons and Brenda also made a birthday cake and iced it. Brenda was a delighted to liaise with as I was not local so all done via phone and email and nothing was too much trouble. The service was spot on lovely ladies all attentive and what was left was packed up for us to take home. A wonderful afternoon and I could not recommend enough. We will definitely be back !

Wonderful home made food, steak and kidney pie and fresh vegetables was amazing. Knickerbocker glory just like we had as children and their cakes are out of this world. Dollys is a tearoom that must be visited as food is too good to miss.

Popped in today for cupa and tea cake but bought some mint chocolate home made cake to take away And we can only say it was AMAZING!! This cake would win awards and it’s just like our mums would have made. Feel we may have to sample more of the cakes very soon. Always a pleasure to visit Dolly’s and you can be sure of a warm welcome.

Dolly’s did us proud! We held the wake for our dearly departed grandad here. He was a regular customer and loved going there. The buffet was delicious and the cakes were amazing. They were very helpful and very kind and kept us topped up with tea and coffee too. Grandad would have recommended them for their lunches and we would definitely recommend them for a delicious buffet spread. Thank you Dolly’s x

Never been here before . It was a treat for my mum. Four of us went for a high tea. We were asked which sandwiches we wanted , and which cake and scones. Usually in other establishments you get what you are given . Very friendly. Lovely soft bread for sandwiches, huge pieces of cake, and lovely scones with jam and clotted cream. All home made - all delicious too. All the tea you can drink . Also each person gets their own cake stand , really nice. Thankyou . We will be back .

Visited with Mum on a wet & cold day. We both went for the soup, can't remember what Mum had, however I went for Tomato & Basil. Lovely big soup bowl of freshly made, but too much for us both. It was warming & thick.Looking at the meal portions, they were a good size & freshly cooked

My friend and myself visited for lunch today, and it is an amazing find. I chose it because of the good reviews I had read and we weren’t disappointed. We both ordered the ploughman’s lunch and it was delicious. We asked if we could have both ham and cheese and our plates were full!! Three large chunks of a good strong cheddar, two lovely slices of ham, pickled onions, homemade coleslaw, which was so scrummy, chutney, salad and a warm baton. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. A return visit will happen as we were so impressed and want to try more from the menu. Well worth a visit.

Went to Dolly's with a friend for lunch. It was a very good experience. The food was tasty and freshly cooked, the menu varied and interesting and the service excellent. Reasonably priced too.

My wife and I had lunch at Dolly’s the choice of food and quality was excellent. I could not recommend it more. The service was prompt and we were made very welcome.

I lunch here quite often, choice is lovely prices very reasonable. Staff always friendly. Open kitchen and kept very clean Highly recommended

We went for lunch today and the food was excellent, the menu offered a wide range of choices many of which was homemade, we will definitely be going for another visit

Went to this restaurant on Tuesday 26th February 2019. The place was lovely and clean till a baby chucked food about Ha Ha Ha. Seriously, the place is extremely clean. The staff are wonderful and joked with me over a report in a paper. Food is excellent and bloody hot. And there wasn't a long time before it arrived on our table. Well worth a visit 100 out of 100. Well done girls, as Arnie says, "I'll be back" Definitely recommended.

Excellent tea room. Great service, good food, calm friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend. Cake choices and quality lovely.

I visited Dolly's Vintage Tea Rooms for the first time with my young daughter. The lady who served us couldn't do enough and made a little girl very happy. The cakes were lovely! Will definitely be returning 😊

Through the door and greeted by a relaxed atmosphere , regular customers and first timer,me. Stories of benny Hill and Les Dawson’s piano playing in on corner and banter with staff and customer in another. The food is well presented and taste good, home made cake is everywhere. Decor is homey and eclectic. Would I go in again? When in town looking to get a nice cuppa I’ll be there. Thanks from a Dorset visitor.

Visiting Gosport for a specific shop, we strolled on into Stoke Road for a light lunch at Dolly’s. Welcoming on a sunny day, with friendly and efficient staff. The menu is wide ranging and there are daily specials on the board. Rightly a popular cafe in the community, this was our first visit, but we will very happily return.

What a gem of a place ! I absolutely loved my visit here today.

Lovely food. Lovely friendly staff reasonably prices food. Colouring for kids to do while you eait for food

Really nice food at reasonable prices. Butternut Squash soup is divine, the cream tea a couple were having at an adjoining tea looked very, very good. Staff friendly.

Called here three times and enjoyed every visit. The ladies who serve are very friendly and helpful, they can’t do enough for us (we are both disabled) Put me at my ease when I managed to nearly knock the table over and broke their vase of flowers. Can highly recommend the scones and jam and the toast and jam. Haven’t tried a lunch yet but hope to soon

My wife and I went to this restaurant/Tea Rooms for a light snack. We were met by Kerry and her assistant. Both were extremely polite and accommodating. I asked Kerry for a breakfast to which she informed me that they stopped cooking breakfast at 11am. BUT she said, if I wanted breakfast she would cook it but I would have to wait a bit. My wife ordered Soup and a roll. The wait wasn't long at all. My breakfast appeared within minutes and was extremely hot and very, very tasty. Coffee was included in the meal, but I ordered another. I like coffee. After the meal we had a conversation about the Tea Rooms with Kerry, who I might add is a very nice lady. I then told her who I was, to which she was surprised, and said "I've never had a Lord eat in here before ." I'm incognito" I told her and that I seldom used my title.I can honestly say, our stay was a very, very pleasant one. Food and service EXCELLENT. Thank you Kerry for making our stay in your Tea Rooms a pleasant one. This Tea Rooms is well recommended, the staff go overboard to make sure you get the service you deserve. 100 out of a 100.

Large group of friends. No problem for the staff. Nice China cups and hand knitted tea cosy. Free car park for 3 hours about 2 minutes walk away. Pushchair friendly. Cake displays are up the steps . £2.40 for a small cup of coffee but atmosphere nice

Having never tried anywhere in Gosport for Afternoon Tea, I took my mum and husband here for a treat and it was fabulous. The 1940's décor, crockery and staff were amazing. Very reasonably priced too. I would advise on booking though, as they get extremely busy.

visited this tea room this morning for a breakfast, was delicious, lovely staff, great surroundings, bought cake home to have this afternoon with our cuppa, just finished, Coffee and Walnut was yummy as is the Lemon Sponge, will defiantly recommend to all my friends

This tea room is still so lovely. I meet up with friends for a cream tea once a week. Mid morning we get warm scones straight from the oven. Well worth a visit, we love it. Thanks Dollys ;-)

a lovely thirties themed cafe behind the modern front and very nice bacon and egg sandwiches. Comfy sofas to sit on if you're just having coffee or waiting for a take away. A welcoming pleasant surprise behind the front door

I loved the décor, space and music the moment I walked in. Janet and Sue catered to our needs and very friendly and polite. The food is delicious and good portions of it too. The high teas are the best deal you will get for that price in any tea room.

The lady's in this tearoom are always very polite and attentive to their customers, everything from the decor to the tea cosys give it an authentic vintage feel and the cakes and food are all very beautifully presented and cooked.

I loved the atmosphere, food was freshly prepared, well presented and tasty, tasty, tasty! The service was friendly, welcoming and a very pleasant lunch enjoyed by me and my daughter. I also loved the authentic crockery used, homemade cakes and 1930s/40s music in the background. Thank you all at Dolly's! We will be coming again!

Visited with my partner, Nan and cousin - found it by chance and so happy we did. We all had high teas which were absolutely delicious and very good value for money. I thoroughly recommend the pistachio cake especially.

Held a vintage tea party for my mum's 75th Birthday, excellent service and food. Couldn't have asked for better.

Myself & my 2 children had a lovely lunch today at Dolly's, the staff were friendly and accommodating to my children's needs. The food was delicious & the cakes are totally amazing, I love the vintage china and the tea cosies are super cute. I will be returning for more tea & scrumptious food. Thank you!

Lovely tea room, clean, spacious. Lovely friendly smiley staff. Lots of menu choice. Great retro decor and music. Very relaxing. Well worth a visit. I'll be back 😊

We went to Dolly's as the reviews were fab. The setting was lovely; very impressed at first. However, we waited over 25 minutes for a few dishes when there were very few customers in. The dishes themselves were mish-mash; tortilla crisps seemed very unusual to be put with something like macaroni cheese... There were only about 4 crisps, very little salad and I received an entire stick of celery on my plate, very unappealing. I myself had a quiche and it was unfortunately tasteless.

We thourghly enjoyed our visit to this spacious tea room , and will become regulars , love the menu , music , space and friendly staff , well done Dollys

What a delightful cafe this is! Whilst Gosport has its fair share of these, Dolly's stands out because of its unique decor and retro music playing quietly in the background. The food and service is wonderful, with many a tempting treat to get the taste buds going. I love the luxury of nice china and individual teapots with their own tea-cosy's, and the menu has something for everyone. Definitely worth visiting over and over again.

Fourth time I've been yet again a very pleasant experience my friends have all enjoy it nice staff nice surroundings

Looking for a relaxed lunch spot we tried Dolly’s Vintage Tea Rooms and very much enjoyed their high tea.

Highly recommended. It was a joy to spend time in this cute 1930's themed cafe. The owners have spent time to ensure the surroundings suite the theme accompanied by period music. Today my Mum and I had a lovely cream tea. Tea was delicious and so was the scone. We will certainly be back and will recommend to friends. Top notch service and great value for money.

Just had a lovely lunch sandwich in Dolly's. Atmosphere great with music playing. Spacious tables - even space for wheelchairs. I was looked after by smiley, friendly staff. Thanks.

Lovely spacious Tea Rooms with friendly staff . First visit I had a lovely Slimmers Lunch and my husband home made Macaroni Cheese .Second visit tried the High Tea .Yummy cakes & scones. Ideal for birthdays & parties RECOMMENDED !

Had a lovely pot of tea and a slice of cake. Friendly and relaxed. Felt really welcome and appreciated as a customer.

Visited with my son had a great lunch definitely going again cheerful staff and nice comfortable location

Held a birthday party in tea rooms , wow wonderful food and service , plenty of space for wheel chairs , staff very polite and helpful, can recommend it for private party's , love it

lovley spacious surroundings listening to 30s-40s music, drinking tea from pretty china cups with tea pots with tea cosy. You can catch up on the news with the 1930s newspapers dotted around or just sit and chat. Staff were so polite and friendly and the cake was lovely. Great place to hold a vintage themed party.

Just recently opened by a local family who know all about vintage in this area.They were serving refreshments to allied troops awaiting D-Day embarkation! Add a warm welcome, good food at reasonable prices and a lot to interest you and awaken memories if you are in nostalgic mood . We had Macaroni cheese which was cooked to order, and not just blitzed in the microwave.It was scrummy. Beautiful cakes too. Vintage facsimile papers available to read while you wait..

lovely cafe and nice decor. clean and very friendly staff lots of cakes to choose from and gluten free cakes as well and pleanty of choose great vaule
