Ha'Penny in Redcar and Cleveland

Visited today for the first time, what a lovely piece of chocolate cake and a delicious bowl of soup, made very welcome, will certainly be back when next in the area

Sadly the 'hospitality' has gone from the hospitality industry in many cases but not the case here: Excellent quality food partnered with exceptional attentive service made my mum's birthday afternoon tea at sucess. The owners are knowledgeable about the area; pleasant: even managed to tame my challenging 3 year old, and make the business what it is. I much prefer to spend my money at a place like this rather than a soulless hotel lounge or likewise

This is the best Afternoon Tea .I have been experienced . Other places you get one three tiered plate stand between 2. Here you get one each All good was home made.As I cannot eat a lot of fresh cream. I found these lovely cakes a refreshing change. Especially the little chocolate teapot. Was even given kitchen foil to bring home what we didn't eat.

This was one of the most friendly places I've been to. Everyone was chatting with each other. My husband and our friend both had vegetable soup which was full of chunky veg and served with hunks of bread. I had a sandwich which was equally fresh and good. We were surrounded by quirky unique gifts all at reasonable prices. Oh, and the puddings were to die for! If we didn't live so far away, this would be a regular haunt. The village is attractive and then from there it's a 5 minute drive to the coast at Saltburn. If I was on holiday in Saltburn I'd be coming away from the touristy places and definitely heading to this little gem of a cafe.

Simply the most delightful afternoon tea. A friendly and warm greeting, coffee which both tasted and smelt great. Home made food, and plenty of it, which was delightfully tasty. The raspberry macaron was the highlight for me, delightfully melting in the mouth with just that hint of sweet sourness - a culinary masterpiece. The lady chef is a complete genius. Will we visit again - you bet we will.

We just love fish and chips,and to find Flippers was just fantastic! Always fresh and always served up with a smile!

Once again Julie and Gerhard gave us a fantastic Afternoon Tea. They never fail in service, quality and certainly value for money. Plus of course the entertainment!! The lemon scones were fantastic, but we were a little disappointed there were none to buy. Next time Julie make an extra batch so we can take them home! We all wish you both a very happy Christmas and a very successful 2018, you certainly deserve it.

Dropped in for a coffee and scone when passing through Skelton. Coffee quite good but didn't have cappuccino as only full fat milk available, not even semi-skimmed. Scone looked nice enough but was just ok. Presentation was nice; cloth on table, pretty crockery etc. Would have liked to look round at all the things on display, presumably for sale, but sadly the owner never stopped talking. Of course it is nice to be greeted in a friendly manner but we were given no chance to have our own conversation nor any privacy. I'm sure if there had been other people in it would have been a better experience so we hope to give it another try.

We were very impressed with the afternoon tea, sandwiches and cakes and service excellent, sandwiches were freshly made. Service was very friendly and attentive

What can we say. Another fantastic afternoon tea with Gerhard and Julie. The rhubarb and ginger scones were out of this world. Each time we go Julie manages to produce something different. If was a friends 70th birthday and Julie made a fabulous lemon cake complete with a large candle/volcano/sparkler. We didn't think we could eat it as we were full but it was so light it just slid down (pity it won't slide off our hips!!!). Can highly recommend Ha penny's. Always a lovely afternoon out. Thankyou again to you both.

I called in here on a rainy day for a coffee and I also ordered a slice of cake as they looked gorgeous. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly. Very nice inside with lovely gifts to buy. I will be going back here and would recommend

For a surprise some friends had arranged a baby shower at Ha'Penny and we have a lovely afternoon. The service was great, the sandwiches, cakes and scones were all fresh and great tasting. The tea room itself was such a nice environment and in particular for ourselves as we hired the venue for the afternoon. Would 100% recommend this to all.

So glad we booked an afternoon tea here!!! Everything from the bottom plate to the top plate was tasty,freshly made and totally scrumptious. The entertainment from the host added to our pleasure and nothing was too much trouble. We are already organising our next visit. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you

A beautiful tea room, first class food, fantastic presentation. A little less interaction by the owner would have merited a 5 star review

Second time visited here. Had champagne and rose cheesecake different but very nice. Staff very friendly and attentive. Old fashioned charm. Price is very reasonable. They also sell a variety of gifts. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Un total decepción. Leído muchas buenas críticas, así que pensé en probarlo. Quiché y ensaladas era una pequeña tienda de ida compramos uno. insípida El bollo de frutas con mermelada y crema fue horrible. No había suficiente mermelada o crema para cubrir la mitad de el bollo y la sienten molestadas de mantequilla era ridículo. Sólo el bollo sabía a hornear poder y fue espantosa. Por consiguiente, no comido. No volveré ni lo recomiendo.

Great Tea Room. Small and Friendly. Afternoon Tea to die for. All homemade cakes. Lovely. Can't wait to visit again.

My partner and I visited Skelton on what could be described as a miserable disgusting day. To our surprise we found this little oasis on the high street. We received a warm and friendly welcome. Our tea and coffee was served promptly in the very best China. The homemade cakes were delicious. The full afternoon tea (pre order) looked fit for a queen priced at £12, very reasonable for the three tiered china stand filled with sandwiches,scones and cakes. I would highly recommend this tea room.

What a wonderful tea room this is. We called in for a quick drink but if we had known in advance we would have pre ordered the afternoon tea. Some ladies at the next table to us had one and it looked amazing. We can't wait to go back and try one.

Friendly staff, just had a quick coffee to check place out. No latte as full fat milk only. Cute little biscuit. Meals looked nice. Will return for food when not dieting!!

We have visited this wonderful, cosy little tea room many times and will continue to do so. The service is second to none. The home made food is delicious, and the presentation excellent. A massive bonus is the wonderful gifts that are available to buy, different and, reasonably priced. A vistit is recommended; you will not be disappointed.

A friend gave us a gift of afternoon tea at this lovely establishment. The presentation was excellent, everything was delicious and we couldn't fault the service. Well worth a visit. Skelton is a lovely village and after you wander around it just pop in for something to eat or drink here, you won't be disappointed.

A stunning & warm cosy little tea room with great service and the food was all home made and delicious.The couple who own it were very hospitable and made us ladies (8 of us) feel welcome and couldn't do enough for us!The tea room was busy but they managed to join in with our conversation and asking us question too.We will be returning very soon.

Been here a few times now and every visit is as good as the first. Another wonderful afternoon tea. The best in the area. Absolutely delicious and cakes all homemade. Can't wait for my next visit..Lovely!!!!

Had a lunch here toasted sandwiches, very nice. Very friendly owners. Great spot, would have liked to have had an afternoon tea, but were booked. Picked up a few little gifts also.

Amazing place xx food was excellent X everything so fresh X you can tell home baked with care xx definitely recommend x

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and such friendly owners. The ambience is delightful and I made a good start on my Chrismas shopping!

Having had afternoon tea here today really want to share with you all a really fabulous place to go!! The sandwich's were so fresh on both brown & white bread served with fresh salted crisps, the selection of freshly baked scone, cakes, chocolate & fresh fruit was fantastic too much to eat in one go but brought some cakes home to enjoy. The tea rooms sell a selection of locally made jewellery & small gift items at very reasonable costs. The owners were very friendly they work hard to produce first class food in comfortable surroundings at reasonable prices having sampled the afternoon tea will definately be back. Snacks & lunch are available which I will try over future visits I am sure as all good is home cooked it will be as delicious. You should really call to try this out.

This tea room was recommended to myself and a friend by a lady we got chatting to at another venue. Our afternoon was thoroughly enjoyable, the sandwiches so fresh with tasty fillings, and such beautiful cakes, washed down by good old Yorkshire tea, and plenty of refills.The owners made us so welcome and were very friendly. The tea room plays some back ground music which fits in well with the surroundings.You can also browse around the tea room as it sells nice little nic nacs.Another visit on the cards without fail.Wouldn't change a thing about this tea room. Such an enjoyable afternoon.

Popped in after a dog walk with a friend two coffees and scones with a difference.loved it owners friendly and everything gone baked.bookings got afternoon teas are a must as fully booked for the next two weeks.

There were 4 of us and we were very surprised to when we were given a cake stand each. The sandwiches were very nice but the cakes and scone were delicious. A lovely selection of mini cakes and tarts and as much tea or coffee as you can drink. We'll definitely go back as the owners were very friendly as well.

Gorgeous little cafe with such friendly owners! They spent time chatting to us and made us feel very welcome. The afternoon tea was £12 which was fantastic and we received free tea refills! Will be returning again shortly!! :)

My husband and I went for afternoon tea yesterday and it was beautiful , the sandwiches were very tasty with good quality filling and the individual cakes were amazing. We were made very welcome and they could not have been more attentive to our needs . I will be recommending to my friends and family

I visited here for my sweet 16th and it really made my day special. The people are so welcoming , afternoon tea was spot on and they even brought me out a cake! Would recommend to anyone ! Brilliant !

Me and my sister visited the cafe a few months back and really enjoyed it very well presented and clean room we were made to feel very welcome to so we went back today for my daughters 16th we had afternoon tea and was delicious all four of us enjoyed it and we intend to visit again very soon

Absolutely amazing little gem in the high street! From our first visit we were in love with the place! The couple are so friendly and welcoming!! Nowadays it is hard to decent customer service, but here you never feel like a customer you feel like a friend. And the food is to die for its absolutely out of this world! Any one who is considering going, go you will not be disappointed and I can promise you, you will keep going back!

What a gem of a place! Quaint, pretty and so welcoming. I had a voucher from Groupon so tried here with my daughter and baby Grandaughter. The couple who own and run this were lovely. We had a chat with them as the food was prepared and brought out and found them so enthusiastic about Skelton and they promoted other businesses to us. Lovely community spirit! The tea room sells trinkets, signs and various items but are displayed in such a way that it's decoration in the room too. The afternoon tea was lovely with choice of sandwiches, orange scone with orange cuts and cream and selection of small cakes. All was delicious and presented with unlimited tea and coffee in pretty China cups and saucers. This place is just what a tea room should look like and I have recommended to friends and family already.

Wow what a lovely afternoon we had for my mums birthday. From the moment we walked into this beautiful tea shop we were made to feel extremely welcome by the wonderful couple who run it. The food was delicious with every thing being freshly made. This really was the best afternoon tea I have had and will definitely be returning very soon. You really cannot beat the personal touch from somewhere that is family ran. A hidden gem for sure.

First visit today and I highly recommend it to anyone I absolutely loved it the sandwiches and cakes were fresh tasty and beautifully presented i will be there again very shortly what a lovely afternoon I had well done to the ha'penny

Visited here twice. Best afternoon tea. Owners welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Sandwiches and cakes absolutely delicious. Will be visiting again.

Took my mum today for a cream tea on her birthday. What a lovely cream tea it was too - thank you so much. You can even shop whilst here as they sell local people's crafts. Highly recommended.

We bought a groupon voucher for afternoon tea at this cafe some months ago and drove over there (just under 2 hours) on a snowy Saturday in late November. We are so glad we went as this cafe is delightful. We were made to feel welcome by the lovely couple who own and run this small establishment from the second we entered. They could not do enough for us. The tea came first with a short wait on food as a large meal order had just been placed. When the food came we had a 3 tier plate EACH, which was filled with cheese and chicken sandwiches (our fillings request) and crisps. Cakes comprised iced fruit cake, macaroon, mini sponge, rum truffle, mini iced bun, pieces of fresh fruit- pineapple, melon, strawberry, kiwi, blueberries. An almond and cherry scone with butter, jam and clotted cream accompanied all these delicious cakes.This is in the top two of the best teas we have ever had. Presentation was fantastic, service the best ever in this country and location only a couple of miles from Saltburn where we had a very bracing walk along the pier afterwards.Highly recommended.

A friend and I visited the Ha'penny tea room this afternoon after a series of mishaps. We were late but nothing was too much trouble: de caffeinated tea no problem. The sandwiches were fine and there was a tasty selection of mini cakes , small morsels of fruit and a cherry scone with jam and cream made by Julie from Brotton co owner and wife of the host, Gerhard Pieterse, a rugby playing South African (in his youth)He must have made a good target in the line -outs as he topped 6 and 1/2 feet I'm sure. We never stopped chatting and learning about life in South Africa compared with Britain. The time passed quickly .An hour went by and we had been royally entertained.I applaud the plans for a face lift to Skelton High Street ( using lottery money) reinstating the old shop windows taking us back to pre 1984 when a ha'penny was real money.I think that the local craft work on display is well worth viewing with re-cycling as a priority.

I travel the uk quite a lot...and like to sample afternoon/cream teas...from places like 7* Gleneagles to Harrods ..and I have to say this little shop is just as good if not better...if youre ever in the area you must try it

This is by far one of the best afternoon teas I have had, we were there on our Wedding Anniversary and the food and service were second to none. Everything was baked and presented to perfection.

Nice to have your tea served in china cups, sandwiches good and well presented. The surroundings are interesting and the owners delightful.

This is a great cafe with very welcoming staff who took the time to make sure everyone was ok and engaged in conversation making us feel at home. Very generous servings for reasonable prices as well! We'll definitely be back and would be highly recommended to anyone.

At Ha'penny you can always expect a very warm welcome and gorgeous home cooked food that is very reasonably priced! The husband and wife team of Gerhard and Julie creates a wonderful atmosphere and the tea room is lovely with vintage crockery, tablecloths etc. They also sell a lovely selection of hand made items sourced from local artists and makers. One visit is never enough!

Spent a most wonderful afternoon with a dear friend catching up on news in the loveliest of surroundings Ha'Penny Gift and Vintage Tea Room on Skelton in Cleveland High street. The experience started from when we stepped into the Tea Room were we were warmly greeted and led to our table covered in a vintage tablecloth with a lovely vase of fresh flowers as the centre piece. We each had our own cake stand with delicious sandwiches freshly cut and garnished, scrumptious. The top layer was full of delightful freshly baked cakes and refreshing. exotic fruit Mmmm! Nothing to complain about in this Tea Room. Attention to detail was key to the whole afternoon. Memories of a bygone era. Julie and her husband make a wonderful team. What more can I add, except - visit and partake, allow yourself to be cosseted. Oh and you may even be tempted to buy some of the locally sourced produce and even something vintage for the home.

Me and my boyfriend came to this cafe in Skelton as we're buying a house near by and it looked cute from the outside! We had a hot chocolate each and I had a gorgeous chocolate cupcake! Couldn't resist! Well priced and I also persuaded my boyfriend to buy me a raggy reaf so it was a win win! Will defintely be back, promised my grandma il take her for a cuppa which I will very soon! Lovely place lovely food and drink!
