Gray's Tea Rooms Strabane in Strabane

we stopped by to have a break on the way to Dublin, tea and a cream cheese bagel for me and a pulled pork wrap and chips for my lovely partner. Went down a treat and no issues at all with the food. Toilet facilities clean as well. Staff "Jackie" served us and went the extra mile with an extra bagel. Many thanks.

We had a lovely family lunch here for my cousins birthday and had a lovely lunch and tea! It was very reasonable and the staff were lovely. Great experience

I Have been in Grays Often with family and also by myself , everything in Grays is tasty, their soups , scones, chips , salads , baked potatoes are all very good

Called in here following a recommendation. Pleasant but a little dated. The staff are extremely polite and attentive. The toasted Bagel with cream cheese was very tasty, although the tea was very average. I tried their Latte which was very impressive. Would definitely return here.

Clean and nostalgic with very good food. clearly a place frequented by locals. Friendly staff, very efficient.

Had a lovely lunch here. It was full when we first arrived so they offered to keep us a table in 20 mins which was grand. We had a chicken goujon salad and a chicken goujon wrap both were delicious and came with a scoop of chips and some crisps. We had 2 coffees also and bill was about £14. The staff were very friendly. Their selection of cakes wasn't great and they were all wrapped individually in cling film which is off putting but we had no room anyway. Looking forward to visiting again the next time we are in Strabane.

Lovely restaurant.Staff are excellent pleasant and so helpful.what can I say about food words can't do it justice, it was all delicious.will go again to it.

China cups and saucers home baking..freshly prepared food for all to enjoy .. Friendly polite staff .family orientated

Lovely place little cramped. I'd advice booking before u go as staff can be impolite as they don't like people in when the lunch time rush starts bit disappointed in the staff other than that was a nice place. Just haven't been there since cause of the experience we had...

Customer Service is really bad, I will never be back in, the Soup was horrible, that's how I found out the Customer Service was bad!, I wouldn't even have cared about the Soup, its the way I was treated, really disappointing

I have been here many times,in comparison to local eateries this is above average which is why I am a returning customer, Staff manners and attitudes have really improved in recent months and the service from staff today was very good. The environment isn't ideal- very small, not many tables and on my last few visits upstairs has not been open But I accept there is little that can be done about the layout. Although menu limited the food is usually very good however portion size not big. (2 very small chicken goujons on my chicken goujon burger- looked very pathetic and scant). Chips are normally delicious however today they were shockingly bad- extremely hard And crisp (definately not in a good way) appeared to be reheated and reheated. Not acceptable to serve. Everytime I have been here the jars of water are warm which is another gripe of mine. Please chill water in future! Despite my bad experience today, it is likely I will return in the future as i am hoping today's disappointing food is a one off and am willing to give it another try as in this area there is not many alternative venues.

Visit Grays often and food is always very nice but would like to see the menu change more often. Setting and staff are lovely

I have had previously poor experiences with this coffee shop but today I decided to give it a deserved second chance. As I arrived in at lunchtime today, I was met with a waitress who appeared disinterested and came across as downright rude. To add to this already abysmal experienced the vegetable soup I ordered had to be absolutely saturated with salt to come close to edible. Gray’s Tea Rooms will never get my business again.

This well run tea shop is a step back in time, the owners have managed to keep all the nuggets of history alive and also accentuate the heritage with fine bone mismatched tea sets.. all very becoming. The food is freshly made and everyone must try with raspberry and white chocolate scones. The menu has been created with everyone in mind and the food is fresh and tasty with all local ingredients. The place is alive with patrons, this is a testament to the consistent good food and service. Well done to the owners. Brilliant.

Have been here quite a few times. As usual food was awesome but really sloppy service. Daughter had toastie and chips. She almost had it finished when we had to ask where my mum's soup and my scone was..another wait and they arrived. Scone not heated as I had asked for so off they went again. Another few mins and finally got what I ordered. As I said food is always good but service just needs to tighten up a little.

Love this little tea room. The homemade cakes and traybakes are delicious. It has a cosy ambience and the staff are friendly.

Entrar en las habitaciones de Té gris sentí que habíamos retrocedido en el tiempo en el período. le remontará Me sentí como originalmente sólo café o té con un bollo pero decidimos almorzar como estaba disfrutando del entorno y el ambiente en el restaurante. Pedí una papa al horno con pollo al curry. Por desgracia, la comida no está a la altura de mis expectativas. Mientras que la patata era buena, el curry era pobre y yo personalmente no la orden que de nuevo. También esperamos una eternidad para alguien que clara mi mesa a pesar de unos camareras pasando por y notando que estaba terminado. Para ser sinceros, estaba ocupado mientras yo estaba allí. Pero la parte más decepcionante de mi experiencia allí fue cuando le pregunté a una camarera joven si pudiera tener su menú de postres y tés lo tenían en oferta. Me repentinamente dijeron que su postres era justo lo que estaba en exhibición en el mostrador y que tenía 2 tipos de tés. No hicieron ningún esfuerzo en la parte de la camarera que descubrir por mí, en vez de que se suponía que dejar mi asiento y orden de la barra. Me pareció que la falta de servicio al cliente por este motivo y no he pedido el postre o café. Yo diría que mientras que el entorno es precioso, el servicio de atención al cliente era pobre para mí en esta ocasión y la comida estaba sólo bien. No estoy seguro si volveré.

Rápido servicio amable. Madre tenía la sopa. Muy bueno el caldo grueso con pan wheaten. Mi padre y yo tenía bollos. Treacle era delicioso! ! Mi hija tenía sandwichera y patatas fritas. 15 y compartimos una hamburguesa. bakewell Realmente deliciosa comida fresca. Muy concurrida y no muchas mesas de abajo. Nunca he estado arriba. Mereció la pena el viaje. Sin duda volveremos.

Muy relajado, salones de té tranquila y hermosa. Una decoración preciosa y el personal es agradable. Genial para una mañana ajetreada o víspera de compras. Montones de tiendas preciosas en Strabane. La ubicación es perfecta. U puede sentarse y charlar o ver la gente pasar afuera. La comida era buenísima. Sin duda volvería de nuevo. Una gran relación calidad-precio.

Muy decepcionante he oído cosas estupendas de "grises". Pedimos té y bollos té obtuvo el primer lugar tazas eran polvo y no limpio y nos dijeron "scones" donde en el horno. Vinieron de las microondas y no podíamos comer! Personal no uno, sino simplemente molesta sólo se encogió de hombros! ! ! ! Sobrevalorado.

Visited for lunch with family. Excellent as always - good range of dishes in menu. Opted for soup and jacket potato. Lovely side salad along with potato. Scones and coffee cake very tasty. Well worth a visit.

Madre e hija y yo vamos allí todos los lunes para nuestro desayuno antes de salir de compras. La comida es casera y precioso y un gran verity definitivamente algo para complacer a todo el mundo. Los bollos son para morirse y todo el personal es tan amable y recordar el nombre de todos. Definitivamente vale la pena visitar y recomiendo encarecidamente

For a cup of tea/ coffee and a light bite it's fine. Lovely surroundings and I like the different china, quirky. Lovely staff and tray bakes. Can be expensive for what it is, but overall nice, a few new additions or specials wud make a good chance,......

Parado aquí después de leer los comentarios de tripadvisor. El personal no es muy amable, arriba pusieron en una habitación fría. El servicio era rápido. La calidad de la comida no era genial - nos envuelve no mucho en ellos. llenar No sería recomendar este lugar. No volvería.

they do a very good lunchtime menu and also a good breakfast menu the afternoon tea is great and very good value staff are really friendly service excellent

Stopped for lunch here on a cycling trip. Very friendly staff that allowed us to park bikes safely out back. Lunch was delicious and reasonably priced. Nice coffee too.! If passing again would definitely call again.

Mark was up to his usual standard. Mouth watering, tasty and loads of it. Service was excellent and all was immaculately clean. Love Grays.

Decided to have lunch here today as I was in town anyway on an errand. It's a great tearoom, and the food is always top class.Love the vintage feel of Gray's and its many kwirks. If you only try one scone in your lifetime, make sure it's the white chocolate and raspbeery ones they serve here!

If you want something a little different and relaxing...then look no further. The food is great staff are very polite and attentive and there is a lovely relaxing feel about the place.

Had tea and scones and the scones were huge. The staff were very pleasant and as it was around 1.30pm there was a 20min wait for a hot meal. The place is small, but the are some spaces upstairs. Prices are very good and recommended.

Mark & Aisling run an excellent tea room - beautiful quaint setting - lunch and afternoon tea amazing - choice of menu brilliant and that's before you sample cakes and scones!! Highly recommend a visit!

Lovely scones and coffee cake :-) friendly staff clean and pleasant surroundings nice pot of tea to help us on our travels.

No matter when u visit the experience is the same. Fabulous home cooking and the nicest staff anywhere. Well worth a visit. And well worth becoming a regular!

I visit this tea room quite regularly. Today, 5th May 2016 at 3pm, my wife took me for a coffee. We sat at an empty table near the door. A young waitress asked us to move to a table at the rear of the tea room. We said we were quite happy with the table we were sat at. She said that was fine but if anyone else came in we would have to give up our table. Customer service or what!! I was shocked and actually wanted to leave but my wife said she was not giving up our table to anyone, especially as there were several empty tables. The people sat at the table next to us were shocked and actually commented to us about how rude the waitress had been. Today, 5th May 2016 was the last time I will ever enter Grays Tea Rooms. I can add to that each and every member of my family and every member of my wife's family. This place has been steadily going down hill. Today it hit rock bottom.

Took my sister and mum here for lunch and it is just so cute! Good variety of options so something for everyone and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and the inside is just so pretty!

Visited here for first time today after hearing some really good reviews. It didn't disappoint that's for sure. My mum ordered the soup - tomato and red pepper. Had a little taste and it was yummy! My dad and I had scones and coffee - raspberry and white chocolate for him & cherry for me. Both delicious. Only small downside and admittedly I am being picky but they don't do refill on their coffees and when I has asked for a mug rather than a cup, it was teeney! Love my coffee to last my full scone although it was so delicious maybe I didn't allow any time anyway!! Thumbs up guys. Really good spot. Def worth another visit.

I live in Strabane and go here regularly because I love it so much. The tea room is set in a historic building which used to be the old printing press. The interior is stunning and so pretty - historic chairs, lovely lights, a fireplace upstairs. It's so relaxing! And the food is also really good - I'm a vegetarian and this is the only place in town that does a vegetarian burger and a delicious one at that. As well as main meals, there's delicious desserts to choose from and, of course, copious amounts of tea which comes in a quaint tea cup. I love this place and would highly recommend it!

I had an hour to kill in town while my car was getting a valet. So I decided to grab a coffee in Grays. On entering I was tempted by the lovely aromas from the kitchen and decided to order something more substantial. I was spoilt for choice with their vast menu and an array of specials. I finally decided on the open prawn sandwich and a pot of tea. I was certainly not disappointed with what was served, in fact I was pleasantly surprised at the spread on my plate which included a side salad with coleslaw and chips. I enjoyed every bite and the service was excellent. The staff are very friendly too and made me feel my business was appreciated. I will define be back another day.

Great wee café this is my third time here and I have to say the food is excellent and staff are really friendly. We had chicken and broth soup with extra servings! Definitely recommended. Sorry no pics couldnt wait soup too good!

If you need a little lunch while in Strabane you could do a lot worse than drop in to Gray's Tea Rooms. A varied menu awaits. Service is top class, the portions generous and the food excellent. The soups in particular are well worth checking out and the prices are very reasonable. Recommended.

Grayson is a very charming and relaxing restroom which offers much more than tea/coffee.Very tasty lunch and breakfast menu also available.Attentive staff who are friendly but not intrusive.

Its OK, however overpriced for the quality and quantity of food you get.If you have a blue rinse and collect your pension then its the place for you. The menu isnt very diverse.

was in with my wife and a friend found it ok not that friendly and think you would need a blue rinse to to be a regular here

great place for lunch and their homemade scones are beautiful, a shame that they close at 4 pm as Afternoon tea can be cut very short.

I love this place, you can tell its good when every time you go the place is packed out! I love that they have a regular menu as well as a specials menu. I love the soup and panini combo never fails to disappoint. Whether you are looking a cuppa and a bun or a tasty lunch here is the place to go.

Love this place! Have been loads and it never disappoints! Great portions and very cheap! Very wide selection of lunch also.

we all enjoyed a lovely chicken curry. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were treating our grandson before he starts secondary school

Very tasty food, magical old shopfront and a brilliant attitude from staff. Called in with my Mum, sister and my two children. Adults had coffee and scones. Scones were served with jam, cream and butter - delicious. Coffees were piping hot and served in warmed mugs. I also ordered ham sandwiches, the waitress discretely checked were they for the kids. Sandwiches were served on a Spiderman plate for my son (7) and a Peppa plate for my daughter (5) - they were thrilled and the sandwiches were devoured. We sat at a table on the ground floor, I'm not sure what the room upstairs is like.

Food just ok but did not justify the high cost charged. Could buy a full meal for the price of a simple tea.

Visited for lunch, friendly welcome, good service. Nice range of dishes available. Food was very tasty, no room for cake so decided to take away some for later.

We had a delicious lunch after our visit to the museum. They have tasty gluten free options to choose from, and that is often a challenge for me.

First time here met with a friend who recommend this great place. Food was really delicious , friendly staff.

A really lovely little tearoom with absolutely delicious food. Most staff are very friendly and helpful.

This is perfect for lunch but forget about trying to be 'good' .. The traybakes are irresistible!! Can be busy at times so you can be unlucky and not get a table however the girls are very good in trying to get everyone seated & served

Visited last week with my mum for lunch! Only one table downstairs was free however was right next to the door so we went to go upstairs, the girl serving wasn't impressed at this and gave us a pile of attitude and rolled her eyes! We both ordered chicken salad which was average with a lot of green water on my plate from the pasta!Won't be back in a hurry!

Great atmospheric tea room. Lots of history and charm. Worth a visit. Nice staff and simple but tasty food. Lovely atmosphere

On a weekend visit to Strabane looked for somewhere for lunch. Lucky us! Walked in and every table was occupied but wee surprise.... More tables upstair! Light and airy we both had Paninis which were served along with a few crisps. Very filling. Staff were efficient and friendly. Would certainly eat here again on any future visits to the town.

I've lived in Strabane all my life, and visited this venue today for the first time. It was truly an oasis of calm from the busy town outside. Lovely decor, good professional service and excellent food and well priced too.I'll be back for sure.

Fantastic food and service, gorgeous surroundings and lovely little cups and saucers. Love, love, love this place and stop for tea/lunch every time I'm in Strabane.

The food and tea is great but the staff service is hit and miss.. They arent friendly and you just get the sense that they don't want to be there or that your bothering them. No crack or chat with them. they sort of just throw the stuff at you and are quite slow in coming to serve you, just feel like walking out again!

Lovely for coffee & scones or light lunch! Delicious freshly made food, real home cooking! All served on quaint bone china!! Staff are friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Good choice on menu with daily specials, that is good value for money they also has a great slimming option of a chicken salad that's a lot more than just lettuce but without the calories. The only thing I was disappointed with was my last americano coffee I got it was very weak and tasted like filter coffee compared to any other time I had one here which is what I always looked forward to because it is usually sooooo good. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lovely vintage tea cups and fresh homemade goodies like buns, tray bakes and scones. There is something for everyone at Gray's.

Have visited Grays cafe on several occasions and never been disappointed. The old building, China tableware and excellent food all combine to make for a very enjoyable experience. Their soup is always beautiful and their daily soup and sandwich combination at lunch time is a firm favourite while their children's platter is always a hit with my 5 year old nephew.

Love it!! Atmosphere, staff & food!! They cater for all gluten/wheat free also which is a bonus!! Keep up the good work!! Maybe a few gluten free traybakes would be good ;)

A friend and I arranged to meet for a cup of tea and a chat one morning as we hadn't seen each other for ages.We got tea and scones. The scones were lovely and fresh and soft, I had white chocolate and raspberry and my fried had fruit.The staff were friendly and attentive , and the tea room was nice and warm.

Friendly staff, great food,lovely ambience and very reasonable prices......what more could you ask for? Lunch is an absolute bargain taking into account the quality and quantity of the dishes. Not open at night but great for a midday break.

1st time in here, went in for lunch with some friends, have to say it was lovely home cooked food a bit expensive for wat we got but lovely all the same.

Always enjoy visiting Grays for a relaxed lunch in such stunning surroundings. Staff are very pleasant and helpful to accommodate myself and colleagues for our lunch time order having a table reserved and our order served promptly on arrival.Food is always delicious, my personal favorite is the prawn salad followed closely by the turkey pie (can't wait for Christmas time again) and for a sweet treat the mint areo shortcake is divine! This is the jewel in the crown for Strabane and long may it last, well done Mark & Aisling for running such a fab establishment.

This place really is a hidden gem! Grays is so unique, the atmosphere, the service and the food are brilliant. You absolutely would not think you were sitting in Strabane! We visit almost every week! For such a small place they have such a variety of choices perfect for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Also a range of Gluten Free options perfect for coeliacs - especially the fruit scones and Victoria sponge cake! The staff are so friendly and helpful, DEFINITELY worth a visit :)

Since Gray's Tea Rooms opened I have been a fan. I have spread the news to my friends about this wonderful place but am guilty of not writing a review on trip advisor. The food is excellent breakfast lunch or afternoon tea your spoilt for choice. Visit Gray's for a great atmosphere, good food and friendly staff. My grandchildren love the children's platter.

So Saturday I was on a school uniform shopping day and it was pissing down with rain, so my son and I decided to take shelter and grab a cuppa. Well as soon as I opened the door to Gray's Tearoom the smell and warmth just hit me. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu was excellent, I was spoilt for choice and most off it was available gluten free, so I was elected. The staff treated us like we were someone important. Loads of seating areas and can cater for larger groups. Gray's Tearoom has a lovely relaxed atmosphere...

By chance while at a recent festival in Strabane, we happened upon Gray's Tea Rooms. It was due to one of the kids needing to go to the toilet that we went in and we were also feeling peckish.We ordered a couple of coffees and I think I spent about 10 minutes trying to decide which of the extremely tempting bun/cakes/scones/pastries/etc that I was going to eat. Each one looked amazing.After settling on a fruit scone and also a slice of cake (couldn't decide on one item) I really enjoyed both. The coffees were excellent also, rather than some cheap versions you'd get in a lot of cafes.The staff were very friendly and were chatting away with the kids.Overall, when in Strabane again it's definitely on our list of places to go for a snack.

Invited Today Tuesday to have Afternoon Cream Tea at the above hidden Gem in Strabane.It happens that The Premises,Grays Printers is A National Trust Property.Famous for John Dunlop who served his Printing Apprenticeship[ Disputed in Some Quarters]John Dunlop subsequently Emigrated to The New World and Became Famous as The Man Who Printed The American Declaration of IndependenceNow The Cream Tea[coffee] as you will see by enclosed photos was a Treat and Delight with a Doggy Bag Home with some extra calories.Both the Front of House and The Outside Courtyard a Delight on this warm barmy day.Boy, Oh Boy., I didn't realise such China Ware was still about and what an extra added ambiance it gave to the tables and the Interior Aura.Next time your in Strabane or passing through then do give this a call for all day food or for That Cream Tea With A Difference.

This is a very cozy tea room! They have lovely desserts and tea/coffee. It is a nice warm spot to duck in and have a cup of tea with a friend.

Great food, great staff, overall it was a lovely experience from start to finish. Also extremely busy, seemed to be a lot of regular customers, which is a great sign

Lovely appearance inside,pleasant staff. Had the ambiance of what I imagine a 1940's tearoom might have been like. Unfortunately, I found the same could be said of the food, which was a bit unbalanced. Salad was mainly coleslaw 2 types, plus mayo, & potato salad, but very little green stuff. Maybe ok for some tastes but not mine so unlikely to be back.

There was no seating for three people downstairs so we went to go upstairs we were sternly told be a member of staff to wait there one second while the other staff member checked with the kitchen if it was ok for us to go up. This happened at 3.30 on a Saturday afternoon. We decided to go elsewhere for a warmer welcome.

Tea & scones are lovely & atmosphere is good. Hot food was a disappointment. Kids meals were over priced but they enjoyed the variety!

Best little coffee shop in Strabane well worth the money. Very clean. Only one request would be when with a small child it took a long time to get served initially because the lady on was talking to someone she knew. But the food is lovely

Grays tea rooms is a lovely little place with great service and even better food. There is a good selection of treats.

Went here to catch up with a friend, lovely little place with a nice atmosphere. We chatten for ages and were put under no pressure to leave. Would most definitely return again

This place is a wee gem hidden in the middle of the town. Since it opened I have heard nothing but good reviews. Been a few times myself and the food is beautiful. Don't mind the wait as every time I have been, it has been beautiful. Great atmosphere and the staff are friendly. Just what Strabane needed; a simple yet elegant place to catch up, or for a mid shopping tea break or just a nice lunch with the family.

Gray's Tea Rooms was a VERY surprising discovery in Strabane! On a wet and miserable day we stumbled across it and found it authentic and well serviced. The food was lovely and the staff friendly and accommodating. We will be back!

Great value food although poor customer service and a noise atmosphere due to cutlery being washing in main serving area! Had to wait awhile to get served and even longer to get our food even though it wasn't busy!
