Goodbrand and Ross Tea Room in Aberdeenshire

Excellent wee find, very friendly staff, very nice coffee, tea with a great selectionof cakes, great gift shop too with plenty of items to chose from.

Delightful stop off on our motorbike tour of Scotland. Very scenic, well maintained, outside and inside seating. Ample car parking with light gravel. Very friendly service with great desserts and a lovely shop that we purchased some small items that fitted in the panniers. Well Done to all.

This is a fantastic tea room, well worth the trip out from Aberdeen. We had a lovely breakfast followed by more coffee and fantastic cake. Highly recommend and we will be back again soon. There is a lovely shop attached to the cafe selling a great selection of gifts. Great place to stop if you are taking a run over Glenshee

I have been visiting this tea room for many years. On this visit, my friend ordered a scone - what was served was not worth the money paid. I had soup which was very thick indeed. Not at all watered down and good value. The server we had was not that welcoming (unlike the man who serves- he is a delight).

We just called in for drinks but the cake looked delicious as did the soup so we decided to indulge, we were not disappointed. All I can say is the food drinks and service was brilliant. It's a lovely place and has a lovely gift shop attached to it. We will be sure to visit again when in the area.

What a beautiful spot for a cafe and shop. In the middle of nowhere you suddenly come upon this cafe. Lovely staff they were short staffed so appreciated the fact that we cleared our plates and took them up to the counter before we left. Lovely food and coffee. Great atmosphere. The shop had lots of lovely gifts and plenty to browse.

Excellent prompt cheerful friendly service. Nice menus and fresh made food. Enjoyed a wee look around the gift shop and spotless toilets.

Direkt an der Straße gelegen,mit Parkplätzen liegt dieser schöne Shop mit leckerem Kaffee und Kuchen. Bedienung sehr freundlich,Preise in Ordnung. Hier kann man verweilen. Im Shop schöne Souvenirs und schottische Produkte.

We loved this place so much, we went back. Had breakfast there twice before road trips. Not far from Ballater where we were staying. Archie provided outstanding service and great conversation. Store has several gift items. Highly recommended this place.

The staff were really helpful and friendly. The banana and pineapple cake was delicious with the piping hot Earl grey tea. The shop had lots of authentic stock and not over priced.

Love this busy little place amazing an view, tasty, generous lunch, the brie and cranberry panini, salad, coleslaw and crisps) with really friendly service. 6 of us all had same and drinks for under a tenner each.

Stoped for a wee warm up on my way from Inverness to Ballater this morning and I’m so glad I found this place! It’s absolutely buzzing, the food is absolutely perfect and the whole team are friendly and efficient. Highly highly recommend 😋

Not the greatest experience tbh. Bought tea and a cappuccino, along with slice of banana loaf and a slice of apricot cake. Items delivered, and the disparity in size of portions was about 2:1. I pointed this out to staff, and it was laughed off. I pointed out to another staff member and she said she’d cut a bigger slide which was duly delivered. It was tasty. Tea was tepid, but hey Ho. Charged £14 for this which I think is high. Later told I was charged for a bigger slice of cake. I contacted them by telephone, advised them of my experience. Response? “Oh well, thanks for your feedback” It all left me thinking, are cafes doing customers a favour, or is it the other way round?

An absolutely idyllic location, hearty food and the staff are super attentive and friendly. Would definitely visit again.

After a windy trek up to corgaff castle we were hungry and cold. Stopped in and were served quickly, food was good and inexpensive. Staff was friendly. Gift shop had nice things in it as well.

Great food and great service. Was busy every time we went, but we still were served quickly, and the food and drink were very tasty. The attached shop has lots of gifts I’ve not seen elsewhere, so we bought quite a few things

Quick stop - fantastic bacon rolls, and a nice atmosphere. Very popular when we were there. Nice soap and hand cream in loos.

Lovely place to visit, service was excellent as was the coffee and cake. Best news was the Christmas decorations were on sale really good choice of items to choose from.

Lovely food, soup was hearty and baked potato soft and fluffy. But best of all is the service very happy waiter with a sound knowledge of the area. They shop is very sweet with loads of lovely gifts

Can't really add to the other 5-star reviews here. We planned to go for lunch as we've always been fans of this restaurant and shop. Good old Corgarff has everything... fresh air, beautiful view and this place. We chose soup, toasties and coffee, but there was a snack or meal to suit every occasion, and the staff were lovely, kind and considerate of special requests or requirements. Don't change a thing!

Fantastic stop for lunch and gifts, highly recommend fir any weary travellers on a road that has little choice and you can give up hope until this place appears

Stopped in for a coffee on a day out. Lovely toasties and bacon rolls. Staff were very friendly and the cafe felt welcoming and covid safe.

Me and my wife stopped for a coffee on our way to Aboyne. On entering the café I was very impressed on how serious they where taking measures to protect customers as much as possible from the risks of Covid. Lots of signage and hand sanitizer on entry. As we opened the door we where met with smiles and friendly hellos from the staff which is nice. Tables in the café are very well spaced out and we where taken to one of the staff wearing a visor. He gave us a few minutes to get seated then came back and asked us for our details for track and trace and took our order. As soon as another table to our right emptied he was over deep cleaning the table to a very high standard, not just a casual wipe which I have seen elsewhere. Our coffees arrived and I am pleased to say they where lovely. I wish we hadn't of had a big lunch before we arrived as the cakes in the display cabinet looks amazing. I would like to thank the staff for making me and my wife so welcome at the café and for all their efforts on trying to keep customers safe during Covid. The café was spotless. Looking forward to coming back

Pulled in by chance....lovely location with stunning views. Really friendly service and the most delicious bacon bap and cup of tea. So wish this was on my doorstep. Would be a regular visitor. Well done for coping so well in the time of Corona.

Lovely lunch, beautiful scenery and really friendly staff. Perfect stop off for lunch during a road trip through the Cairngorms. Staff also made the effort to come and tell customers about a near by road closure due to a accident and give advice on the best alternative route.

Always stop here when travelling between Inverness and Braemar, usually for coffe or tea, always a good selection of cakes and the staff are always welcoming.

Stopped here on the way to Fort William and very pleased we did. Firstly the views when having your food and drink is breathtaking and is such a quiet spot for a break from driving. Food is a little pricy, I’d say comparable to your average garden centre cafe but the quality makes up for the prices. Nice range on their menu with mixture of hot and cold traditional cafe choices. I had something called a hummingbird cake and oh my days it was divine. Already googled the recipe. We were very happy with the quality of all our food and drink with the service being really polite and helpful. We visited with our wee dog and staff were great with her. Seating was available outside as the cafe isn’t huge and didn’t want to assume other customers would be ok with her at our feet. We would definitely stop here again when passing.

Just had lunch...absolutely tasteless..Baked potato chilli n cheese and a pennine won't be back..been going there for years so disappointed 😞

Day trip from Aberdeen to break the boredom of current situation. Stopped on way back from the lecht. The tea room was busy, and we had a very short wait for a table. We browsed the gift shop whilst waiting for a table. Seated quickly with a very friendly welcome. The menu is compact but we shared a few things. The bacon, Brie and cranberry panini was excellent and served with coleslaw and salad. Fresh and tasty. My wife had the soup and outcakes- again a winner. Homemade with plenty veg and seasoned perfectly. Our little one had a ham and cheese sandwich which was filled with high quality roast ham and cheddar cheese. We shared a slice of cake which was exceptional. The service couldn’t have been better- friendly yet professional. Very reasonable price. Honestly a great find! Will be back soonest.

Probably the best BLT in the world ever! Very generous portions and tasty top notch ingredients made for a lovely lunch.

Stopped here on a drizzly August day and had lovely lentil soup and a freshly prepared sandwich. It was take away only due to Covid but it was really well presented. We sat in the covered outdoor area and admired the beautiful, if a bit wet scenery. The cafe and shop were lovely and clean, staff were friendly and the gift shop is great too.

It's a beautiful place to stop for a hot chocolate and a quick lunch. The staff was very friendly and the food delicious. It also has a gift show

Stopped here today for a quick lunch.. We had our dog with us but we able to sit outside with him.We had soup and sandwiches which were absolutely beautiful. Lovely homemade lentil and veg soup.. Fresh made sandwich with salad coleslaw and crisps. A big pot of tea for 2. Even supplied wool blankets to keep us warm outside. Exceptional service. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

quick stop for a cup of tea and cake, great service, great location. a must stop when you are passing.

After visiting Glenshee we were looking for somewhere for lunch. This lovely tea room was just excellent. Plenty of choice on menu & served by a lovely friendly team. Soup, sandwiches & cakes of the highest quality.Nice clean toilets & parking.We even saw a Golden Eagle from the car park.

We stopped here on the way back to Inverness after visiting balmoral. It was lunch time and we needed some food as there is nothing else for miles so this was a welcome stop. The food was not cheap at all, but it was good and fresh and considering it’s location no complaints here. They also have a gift shop which my wife had to have a look round . Another £85 later she was happy but my pocket was not lol. All things aside the items in the shop are great and good quality but again not cheap but are worth the money as I am sure a lot of the bits you would find hard to find anywhere else. It was a really nice place and would stop there again and I could have spent a lot more money on the gifts if I was not so sensible or tight my wife would say lol.

As a couple we find here often and are never disappointed. I love everything about this place. Today we visited with my cousin visiting from the south of England and it was a great visit yet again. The only problem I had was the blankets weren’t on the chairs! I love a blanket on my knees when we come here Great food, great service, great everything

Sehr guter Service; nettes Ambiente in Kombination mit dem Gift Shop. Wir hatten diverse Gerichte, Tagessuppe, Ofenkartoffel, Panini

Have stopped off here many times on my travels. The food is lovely, you get a warm welcoming atmosphere, nothing is too much trouble for the staff, they are all very accommodating, not to mention a great little gift shop. I highly recommend the lentil soup, it is absolutely delicious!

Always guaranteed delicious home made soup. This time vegetable and lentil just the thing for a sore throat on a drive home. The service is superb also.

we were driving from inverness to st andrews and didnt really know where we were going and were just enjoying the scenery when we saw this cafe. friendly staff, and good service. food was excellent and there was a good selection to choose from. lots of seating, inside and out. nice views from the cafe. lots of parking. there is also a gift shop to browse through.

Stopped off on our way to Brora from visiting friends and had a great bacon roll and coffee followed by a look through the gift shop.Will pop back in the next time we are heading there.

we popped in on our way to Brora from Westhills and had bacon rolls with a hot coffee and tea accompanied by a great tasting scone.We had a look around the gift shop then got back on our way.

We called into G & R on our way to Ballater as we usually do. The hot drinks and cakes are really, really good. There is a wide selection of cakes and hot food. I recommend this place to all.

Lovely place stopped while passing through probably best tea and scone ever can we have the recipe please. Good service and sensible prices recommend to anyone passing and looked great for lunches too. Top marks

Dans le Cairngorms National Park, un très joli coffee shop, avec un grand parking, pour vous réchauffer la couenne quand la pluie tombe drue et le vent souffle !

We were on our way from Stonehaven to Inverness and stopped along the way a couple of times to do some sightseeing. We didn't, however, find a good place for lunch. That was, until we passed by the Goodbrand and Ross Tea Room. The location is great as the roads leading up to it pass through absolutely stunning scenery, it's right off the main road and there aren't many other restaurants that close by.

Love this place great coffee and food, staff always happy and ready to help. Great shop where it is easy to find the perfect gift.

We enjoyed our first experience so much, ie the coffee and cakes, as well as the excellent hospitality and setting. The hospitality and coffee were

I loved this little cafe which not only provided great food but also held a plethora of wonderful gifts, gadgets and useful warm clothes. A great place to take a break in amongst the wonderful Cairngorms landscape

This was a welcome sight on the winding road from the A9 over to Aberdeenshire. We called in for tea and cake and it was very nice. The lemon curd cake was very lemony!! There is a large gift shop with a good range of clothes, knick knacks, etc. There are second hand books for sale in the tearoom itself which I thought gave it a homely feel. The staff were very pleasant and we enjoyed our visit.

Cafe open from at least 10.00 till late afternoon (but best to check for exact opening hours). Good range of hot snacks, light meals, (lentil soup very good!) cakes etc. Sells the usual assortment of trinkets, cd's, gifts etc. Tea served in teapots (i.e. fresh using teabags), not from one of the multi-mix/multi-flavour dispenser machines, which is a real plus. Also has a range of woollen goods. Ski hire seems to have along the road a bit.

This was our second visit. I was somewhat disappointed on the first occasion, however everyone was saying how great it is, so thought I’d give it another try. We ordered 2 soups, 2 sandwiches, a coffee, a tea and an apple juice. Service was slooooooow, however friendly. Soup was really nice, sandwich was very plain with a few crisps on the side - definitely not worth the money. Cost - £21! Worth it? Absolutely not...

Lovely little shop and cafe that we just called into to see what it was like. Nearly drove past but so glad we came in! Good food, and decent portion sizes - nice homely meals. And what a cute little shop! Definitely worth calling in here on the way past!

We decided to stop at this lovely tea room and gift shop after visiting Balmoral Castle. So glad we pulled in, it wasn't advertised at the front anywhere but what an amazing Christmas Shop display they have. I was quite shocked as I haven't been into a shop before with such a nice display and christmas feeling. So worth a visit, some lovely gifts there and a great tea room as well.

A lovely shop where they have a busy tea room. The menu has plenty of choice. The lentil and vegetable soup I ordered was delicious. If you're gluten and dairy free, they have jacket potatoes on the menu with suitable fillings. The cakes looked delicious. They had a gluten free cake and a dairy free cake - I didn't mind there was no gluten and dairy free cake. My partner said the cake he had was delicious and it really did look good.

very fond of places like this. big shop selling all kinds, like clothing, cards, bags, and loads of other things combined with a tearoom. some tables and chairs outside and stunning views. extensive menu. had a day special which was really yummie.

Can't believe i've lived in the area for this long and never visited this classic tearoom!

Great little remote place in the Cairngorms to stop for a break while driving through the mountains. We had an excellent tea break, and enjoyed looking through the shop.

Stopped for a coffee and scone in this wee restaurant on the Cockburn Tomintoul road.it was quite passable but not remarkable. However the location in this beautiful valley is gorgeous so well worth stopping off to give yourself time to sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery.

We found this place last year. After being recommended by a neighbour where we stay. I have just had the best BLT sandwich I have ever had. Would defiantly recommend this place. Staff very polite and friendly xx

As well as enjoying a lovely tea and cake stop here recently I was amazed and delighted by the helpfulness of the staff. Perhaps it was the delicious date slice that distracted me, in any case, I left behind my mini-rucksack in the cafe with sunglasses etc inside. This type of thing is always a bit of a bind but the remote location of the this delightful cafe makes it a tad more difficult. Not being able to return for my rucksack any time soon, my cheeky request to send it to me in the post was happily and efficiently done. It actually made it back to my home in Edinburgh a couple of days before me! Many thanks!

With a great gift shop and cafe / tearoom, this a I must stop by if in the area or on the passing. Located between Tomintoul and Perth Road. Certainly offers the best Peanut Butter Cake I’ve tasted.

For the third year in a row we arrived for breakfast and once again were not disappointed. Around 20 of us sat down at a reserved table for a magnificent full cooked breakfast with plenty of toast on the side. Terri's team gave us a very warm welcome and the service was excellent - everyone was served within 5 minutes and the food was delicious. There is plenty of parking so car clubs are welcome and of course the location and roads in the vicinity are outstanding. Petrolhead heaven and great food. What's not to like!

With a very hungry child in the car, we made a fast brake and turn into the car park and ordered some homemade soup which came with poppy seed bread and butter. Well worth the stop. Soup and service were very good.

Au beau milieu des cairngorns, un très joli coffe shop, où on peut se restaurer avec du froid ( de très beaux gâteaux), des sandwichs variés et/ou du chaud ( soupes, croque-monsieurs...). Lieu très agréable et chaleureux, avec une jolie vue et une terrasse en extérieur.

Came across this place yesterday driving from Aberdeen to colynbridge. What a gorgeous wee place and the lentil and vegetable soup is amazing. Lovely service.lovrly cafe and shop .highly recommend.

Another lovely stop at the very popular Goodbrand & Ross for tea/coffee and some of their utterly delicious cakes. The Tiramisu cake is to die for - utterly delicious!!

I have always given this place very good comments , however was very disappointed on Saturday. had a day out on Deeside and before going home decided it was worth the effort although very tired to take the long way home past Goodbrand and Ross .we went to the counter as usual to see what was on offer then took our seats and sat and sat and sat .It was not busy there were 3 members of staff behind the counter and we were completely ignored , we decided to leave. and will not be going out of our away again .

Una locanda con annesso gift shop, ottimo cibo, bellissima atmosfera, incastonato in una delle più belle valli della zona. Complice una stupenda giornata di sole questa tearoom è stata tra le più apprezzate della nostra esperienza!

I have been to this cafe several times but today was poor by any standards. I asked for a beef sandwich and it was tasteless. The bread was very thin and of poor quality. The sandwich was spread with margarine, not butter, and when I asked about this the lady said they always use margarine. It was accompanied by coleslaw and crisps. However, I received 2 crisps and a thimbleful of coleslaw. My wife ordered a toastie but it was the same poor quality bread that had simply been toasted and filled with tuna and onion. She had to ask for mayonnaise. The staff are lovely but the food served needs improving for the price you have to pay

I had baked potato with cheese and beans it had a side salad and some crisps. The baked potato was very nice, I didn't eat the salad as it came without a dressing and was very plain. My friend had a cheese toastie he asked for it without the side salad and crisps. It arrived with the side salad and crisps, the toastie was very hard, he thought it was toasted with stale bread. The staff were very friendly. It is quite expensive for what it was.

Stopped here as we drove across the fantastic Cairngorns and we needed a bite to eat and toilet break. Lovely views. Food was good and service ok, pottered around the extensive gift shop and then we were on our way. Very popular cafe, bikers, cyclists etc.

On s'y est arrêté pour prendre un café après avoir campé dans les cairngorms par zéro degré, le réconfort était bienvenu !

We stopped here for lunch and I’m afraid that we were not blown away. We though the food ok - no complaints - but a bit bland and certainly not cheap. However, the shop is excellent - full of items we’ve not seen elsewhere and great for gift ideas.

We stopped here to browse the gift shop and have afternoon tea and coffee with raspberry meringue and ice cream. Great! Spectacular views across the glen from our table.

We always visit Goodbrand & Ross when travelling from Aberdeenshire to Aviemore for a holiday.

A beautiful quaint cafe and shop providing all the teas and desserts your heart can contend with. A great place to swing by for a pit stop on your way through!

We went on a drive up Donside to Corgarff especially to visit Goodbrand and Ross .The cafe served us up with homemade lentil and vegetable soup and freshly made sandwiches and after looking in the cake cabinet we all made our choices . The Victoria sponge had fresh cream and there were gluten free choices for one of our friends . The service was warm and informal . We spent ages looking through all the beautiful things they had for sale .An amazing range of good quality knitwear jumpers ,scarves, books bags and purses .

We've been stopping in here for years, usually during the off season when the weather is cold but the tourists are thinner than usual. The place has changed hands over the years and I'd say the present owners have got it just right. The cafe is clean (yes, my mantra again), as are the toilets and the general atmosphere is very 'log cabin meets santa's grotto meets coffee and ice cream". Santa is showing off his wares big time during the winter months and he's no cheap hustler. The gift shop has chosen well, with none of the usual nasty tat that you find in a lot of tourist places. High end, special pieces, and after you've emptied your credit card you can recover with a nice hot brew and a bun or cake. We had a lemon drizzle cake which was ok but I have to say categorically that lemon drizzle cake should never, ever have chocolate bits in it. Ever. Sorry about that, but you have to get these things right, especially when absolutely everything else is just about perfect.

Lovely shop-esp the Christmas shop. Good choice of cakes and food. Kind of friendly service but was a disaster as they were running all over the place as busy and couldn’t keep up. Got our order completely wrong - we only got a third of it then had to ask for rest. They were all very confused but did apologise but then - they messed up our payment TWICE as well.

Stopped here whilst out and about. Nice little tearoom and shop. Good choice of gorgeous home made soups as well as sandwiches and hot filled rolls etc. Staff were very nice and prices very reasonable. Will definitely be back.

Stopped on our way to Inverness for a bit to eat. Delicious soup & cappacino. Had fun browsing the gift...

A lovely place to stop off anytime of the day for a freshly cooked snack and a hot drink. Nicely...

We stopped here on our way up to Elgin for a quick bite and were very pleasantly surprised. They did...

A pit-stop on the way to Aviemore, we knew our options were limited on this road so we stopped in...

Amazing bacon roll and tea in teapot and beautiful china cups. Excellent cheery service. Will be back to devour some...

This is a popular spot for its soup , its snacks and its cakes. plenty of parking , inside and outside seating , good service and clean loos. additionally there is a really high quality store and second hand bookshop tied into the building. I would happily recommend this spot to anyone passing through the area.

Decided to stop as we were passing for a reviving coffee en route. It was lovely. Homemade cakes, great coffee, stunning outlook. The souvenir shop is a 'cut above' the usual with something for everyone and the costs are very competitive. There is even a second hand book store.The staff were really helpful. This is really worth breaking your journey for.

first visit to this café and we were very impressed .We found it very welcoming and friendly, we had coffee and cake and were delighted to have a gluten free choice. The shop was nice too .We will definitely be back, well worth a visit .

Stopped-by during our drive on the Malt Whisky Trail... and turned out to be a great halt !! Nicely done up place with a very welcoming & cozy feel. Great menu (variety) and brisk service with a smile !! Has an attached store for souvenirs..

First timer for me today passing this delightful cafe on a motorcycle ride.One for the books to return again one day.Staff were very friendly and polite, also helpful in every way.

Whenever we are in the Cairngorm's near this delightful little cafe, we visit. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is local, fresh, home-made, good quality fare. The scone, particulary the cherry scones, are not to be missed.Just a few miles from Corgarff Castle, it is the prefect stop. This cafe also has a range of souvenirs and some really top draw items at perfectly reasonable prices. There are also artworks to be viewed and possibly purchased if you have the ability to take them home.A great place to visit. And if you have a liking for a stroll, there is an old cemetry just across the road to ramble through.

This is a favourite stopping place when we are travelling over the Lecht to Inverness. The cafe does good, basic food including bacon rolls and pancakes and the staff are friendly and local. The shop has a really good range of gift items, especially purses, handbags and cards.

This place is great for many reasons. Firstly, we arrived and my daughter was immediately sick on their porch, one of their employees, a young man, was so kind to her, reassuring her and then insisted on clearing it up. Secondly we had a delicious meal and did a wee bit of shopping. Thirdly, I left my favourite coat there and they were very kind and posted it back to me. On all fronts they went above and beyond, great customer experience all round. Thank you very much indeed!

We were about to give up on looking for a tearoom, when we found Goodbrand and Ross. Good food and friendly service, plus all the usual craft shop things.

Th eonly place for miles around and a welcome break from the drive to Grantown. Good breakfast rolls and coffee and fairly large shop to browse in. Pleasant and chirpy serving staff.

I have visited Goodbrands and Ross on numerous occasions and always recommend it to people looking for a new place to go eat and shop. I have always found the staff to be friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. They don't do "fry ups" but the aroma of bacon cooking sometimes upon entering sets the taste buds tingling, the soup never fails to delight as do the toasties, paninis, tray bakes and cakes and all excellent value for money. The gift shop has an amazing range of items all at a fair price after all this is quality not tat ! There are cards, gift bags and wrapping paper making it a one stop shop when buying gifts. A visit over the festive season is a must as the decorations and gifts chosen by the owner are tempting and often unusual and not seen else where and are keenly priced. The owner has a special late night opening at the beginning of November to launch the Christmas shop - it should be a date in everyone's diary. The shop is lit up outside with sparkling lights on the building and trees - truly magical. There are warm mince pies, crisps, chocolates, mulled wine and warm spiced apple juice for the drivers and children and this is all free. It is obvious from this that the owner Terry is not all about profit. Go visit a warm welcome will await you and the staff are always ready for a friendly chat.

I have stopped twice here to enjoy not only the view but the food and drink is also, the staff are friendly and in general it's just a lovely place to stop off and enjoy. In every trip planned in the future I will be sure to include this lovely little tea room in my plans. Can't recommend enough :)

From the outset this looks a lovely place, upon entering its very different, you are welcomed with the stench of fry ups and for us the added bonus of a icy welcome from the lady behind the front till. The gifts are nice but over priced can be bought in any gift shop for far less. The food on offer is generic nothing over the top but everything is dated and needs a clean. The tables and menus need a good clean and updates they may have been clean butnare dirty looking and tatty. It took ages for our table to be first of all cleared from pervious people then it took an absolute agento then be served by a very unwelcoming moody young girl. Then tea and coffee was lovely and the two tea bags I asked to have in my tea pot were added with no question but herenisnthe biggest bug bear. The China cup wasnchipped and stained with tea, the milk jug was also cracked and had stains upon it and the state other tea pot, well it was black inside and not overly clean looking from the outside. Then coming to pay for everything my £1.50 pot of tea had increased to £2.00 a extra charge of 50p for the extra tea bag!!!!! What a total liberty in the voice of Catherine Tate! No one informed usnof this added extra and really what a charge for a tea bag! This place should move with times have a good clean and train its staff in customer service!
