I love Healey Dell Tea Rooms sooooo much. Been many times and staff are always so friendly, food is excellent and the venue beautifully unique (I love it so much that I actually had my afternoon hen do celebration here back in 2018 🥰) Today I had the amaretto coffee cake which was absolutely amaaaaazing 👌👌👌 Honestly one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. And I eat a decent amount of cakes… I also had a chrysanthemum flowering tea which was really delightful. Fragrant and delicious. Watching the flower unfurl in the clear tea pot was lovely too. 10 out of 10 every time. A must visit 🫶✨

Dog friendly hidden gem tucked away in Healey Dell. Food was delicious. Staff were friendly and welcoming! I will definitely be back - highly recommend. A luxurious environment, with attentive service, but priced like a local cafe.

Awful! It was a damp wet day, so we chose to sit inside. Despite there being 3 other empty tables, we were given a table right next to the door. That door opened a total of 32 times while we sat trying to eat our meal! We were almost blown out of our seats. Why the waitress needed to keep walking in & out is beyond me, it certainly wasn't to bring our drinks which we had to ask for twice & eventually came when we were half way through the food! NOT the service we gave enjoyed previously.

Can I just start with complimenting the stunning decor inside, so vintage. The customer service was amazing. It was our first time coming here. We got the tea and coffee. Soup with a sandwich and homemade pie with beans, salad etc. The staff asked how we were getting on which was nice of them. The food was lovely & staff were atrending, friendly and very passionate about what they do.

First visit here for a birthday celebration. Location is set near the waterfalls and woods. We chose afternoon tea in the Edwardian style Tea room. Food was lovely, staff very friendly and attentive. Before we left the staff cane to our table with birthday cake and card, and all sang happy birthday, which was unexpected, and a nice touch. Would definitely return again

The place is very good, good environment and good service, the food portions are fantastic, very tasty and not too expensive. BUT menus without prices (see pictures) is a missive fail. Coffee from £4.25 or alcoholic drinks ??? price is open to many misinterpretations, same with the specials and cakes. It's very uncomfortable for your clients to ask for the prices all the time, that just doesn't feel right. The coffee prices are London prices, but the coffee mocca was huge that is good but the late size was normal. I still don't know how much I paid for the drinks, it doesn't matter, the money is not the problem here! The point is that you deserve 5 stars but need to improve those menus. In my perspective, it's just not right and a fail in your service. Thanks!

Just been today booked the down stairs outside room was told on arrival up was tols we were up stairs got up there which was a struggle for my friend whom had to take an astma spray when she sat down hence why we requested down stairs the food was ok our choice of drink was a coffee cafeteria no cappuccino choices etc even though I saw them being served with meals a pot of tea with a strainer so a little dissapointed as this was a treat for my friend on the menu online gives you options of choices of afternoon tea we wasn't offered any choice. So I won't be going again They asked about allergies which is a plus but other than that this was shocking sorry just an a honest review After reading your reply we did ask for down stairs and was told there was no room on arrival .the gentleman who took upstairs even asked if my friend was ok and made a joke about nearly as he could see she was struggling. I can't comment on the asking for down stairs as my friend made the booking and said to me she had been told in arrival she could come down stairs. I had a coffee cafeteria and was told they were the only drinks available for the afternoon tea .a gentle man came to us and said no rush for the table take your time .we was asked once how the afternoon tea was and my friend didn't want me to say anything the actual afternoon. Tea was fine it was the choice of drinks and the seating area I don't think the review is harsh it's honest .I give good and bad reviews if you look at my trust pilot reviews this is not a complaint I have been a secret shopper for many years and believe me this review is not harsh . Thanks for your reply and feed back

Nice place with really good outside tables. Near the woods/waterfall and a lovely walk. Staff were good. Clearly all very young and inexperienced, but were very polite and friendly. I got the 'Angus Beef Burger' which according to the menu was 'A very tasty Angus beef burger cooked to perfection & served in a bap with cheese, tomato & onions. Plated with salad & a portion of chunky chips' The meat itself was nothing special, not juicy, and just an average frozen patty with no real flavour and not what I would call 'tasty' like the menu said. It was cooked, so not really sure what 'cooked to perfection' means? You can see from the cheese in the photo that it was either sitting under a heat lamp or put under a grill to melt the cheese which probably also dried out the burger further. It had far too much burger sauce in (which wasn't mentioned on the menu). Luckily I don't mind burger sauce (and it did help the burger go down!) but it was literally pouring out all over my fingers while I was trying to eat the burger and made a mess everywhere. (Either inform people on the menu you are adding the burger sauce or give it on the side, but it's not ok to add that much sauce under any circumstances) The chunky chips were good. Nicely cooked and fluffy in the middle. but the side salad that came with the burger was very old with lots of brown leaves, and did not look at all fresh. My wife had the club sandwich which was nice. A lot of food and nice fillings. Her side salad was nowhere near as bad as mine (perhaps came out of a different packet?) Strangely the crisps that came with her sandwich were rock solid and unpleasant to eat. We saw so many plates go past us with lovely looking sandwiches and toasties, so we clearly chose the wrong items from the menu! It's a real shame as on the menu their afternoon tea does sound really nice, but just not worth taking the risk of driving that far from where we live if it's not up to the standard we would expect.

This is the third time I’ve been to the tearooms with my little girl age two. Every time I have brought her here the staff are reluctant to wait on us. I feel that due to us not being white makes a difference. The waitress make it known that they don’t like Muslims customers. Such a shame.

The decor was something out of Edwardian times, with different plates, ornaments and teapots covering the walls. It felt classy. What wasn't classy was the food and price. We paid £18 for a tea, a coffee and two scones. The menu described it as high quality, home made items. What we got instead was tetley tea (not Healey dell as stated on the menu), Nescafe instant coffee and Costco scones (not homemade) with asda jam. It was not worth the price whatsoever. The service didn't help. We had to ask a few times when our order would be taken and had to get our own knives and forks. Give this a wide miss when your visiting this beautiful and amazing piece of nature.

From the warmest and most polite greeting, to us leaving . We had the most magical and wonderful experience here today . After booking a wowcher for my friend's birthday , I was pleasantly surprised for the whole experience and transaction to feel very high quality and like nothing was too much trouble. Particular kudos Estelle our fantastic server . Tye sandwiches were so fresh and you could tell the cakes and fancies were very fresh also . We had a fresh caffatier of coffee , but you could chose tea also . Nothing about this experience felt like a bargain deal , it passed for something 3 x the amount paid. We will definitely be returning to sample the a la carte menu , as people around us were enjoying anything from pate , to soup amd even ploughman's, all looked exceptionally fresh and delicious . 11/10 experience and a delighted friend , thank you all so much ❤️

What a sweet place. We couldn't get into the quaint little tea room but enjoyed the swing jazz drifting through the window while we shared my cream tea .My partner had a ruby beer with his half of the scone so I guess you would call that a cream beer! Lovely staff and impeccable service. To finish it off as we walked up the road a deer ran in front of us, while other young bucks played by the Riverside. I do hope this little gem goes from strength to strength

I really would have liked to give it five stars, but I was let down by the food. The menu was extensive, but it could have perhaps been consolidated to a few specialized items. I ordered the fried rice special, and it was soggy, with the chicken a bit too salty. The staff were exceptional; extremely friendly and accommodating. I would come again after a walk to try the treats rather than the mains. The outdoor area was dog friendly and cosy with the heater.

I’ve been here in the summer and in the winter and it was a delightful experience no matter the weather. The sound of the waterfalls is so calming and masks away the sound of the cars around the reserve. The tea room is extremely charming and well run and organised, the owner seems extremely passionate about keeping it traditional and cosy. I had a traditional cream tea which was a bit expensive for a scone and a cup of tea, but the room and the atmosphere made it worth it. There is a large piano giving the room elegance and the music they chose is perfect for a relaxing afternoon. It gives Rochdale a bit of life for sure.

First time visiting today for afternoon tea and to see Father Christmas. Absolutely fantastic. The kids loved Santa, he was very authentic and had plenty of time to talk to them which made it all the more magical. My daughter received a gift of lipgloss and nail polish (8years old) which she is super impressed with and my son was given a little toy bus (which he still hasn’t put down three hours later). Food was lovely - so much that the children brought some home for later. Staff were brilliant- nothing was too much effort. We went for a walk afterwards- the nature reserve is beautiful. Fabulous day all round. We will definitely be back. Massive thank you to all the team!

I got the deal on a groupon for the gold afternoon tea so it was half price (£25 pp) but if I paid full price I would have been very disappointed. The bread was slightly stale, gold chocolates were Cadbury milk tray with gold leaf added and the scone was very dry. Quiche was lovely though. Service was ok although the waitress started sweeping up around our table while we were still eating. Overall it was just ok.

Several staff walked past us without acknowledgement while we waited to be seated. The young person who did seat us after prompting was lovely. The covered area where we sat was lovely. It felt as though we were in the middle of the trees, with the sound of the stream below. The server who took our order seemed uncertain, and we had to repeat things for her to record in her tablet. Two of us had scones with jam and cream, which were very good. The tea was lovely, but my friends found the coffee a little too strong. The third person in our party ordered ice cream with sprinkles and a flake. A very small cornet was handed directly to her without any wrap or serviette. The sprinkles were very sparse, too. Apart from the small size of the icecream for the price, it was good value. Overall, we enjoyed our visit, and we look forward to visiting again.

We came for a walk on Sunday and decided to stop off at the café on the way home. We was quickly sat down and our order taken and both food and drinks came out within 5-10 minutes we both order the hotdog and chips. We then decided to order a scone each after we have finished our food; we waited over 30 minutes and noticed someone who had ordered after us had got theirs before. We pulled the waiter who took our order who stated that it had not gone through and he didn't recall even serving us. We kindly declined the scone as we had been waiting for so long and wanted to leave in which he said we would not be charged for it as it does not appear to be on the bill. We went up to the bar to pay and low and behold the charge of the 2 scones was on our bill. We are unsure where the lack of communication came from as the outdoor area was only occupied by 2 other people - so not busy to accidentally miss the order or forgetting you even took it in the first place. For this reason I could not give it 5 stars - food that did however come out was worth 5 stars.

Booked an afternoon tea for my friends birthday and it was the best afternoon tea I've ever had! Was skeptical as I ordered a veggie one but the spread was beautiful, lovely selection of cakes and different sandwiches (avocado, coronation chicken but with carrot). Service was great, the chef came out to talk us through our selection. The quiche was incredible! Didnt finish it all so had a lovely goodie bag to take home, ill definitely be back again.

Arrived on Saturday around 11am and had a table for two outside. The staff are laid-back and incredibly friendly which help contribute to the overall nice atmosphere. Deings ordered were good quality - a great selection of teas available and served properly. We ordered food and we were very happy with the portion size and quality. A great place to visit either as a standalone or as part of a day out walking through the nature reserve. A bar is also available on site and I can see it being an excellent place to spend the afternoon when the weather is bright! We will be back

Fabulous afternoon tea with a party of nine. Service was good, the food was great, especially the quiche. We ended up taking some home in a doggy bag. The kids' afternoon tea was impressive.

Me and the wife and baby had afternoon tea here on Mothers Day. Prebooked a week or so in advance. You probably wondering, why the harsh 1 star review? Here is why: - Tea served was very bland and because we waited over 30 minutes for our food, went freezing cold quickly with noone asking for a fresh refill - High chair provided was absolutely filthy and my wife spent 5 minutes wiping all the years of dirt off of it Decor was nice but teacups were dirty. Waitresses were generally looking stressed, overworked and inexperienced to say the least. Now, onto the food: - Finger sandwiches had next to no fillings inside - for the price charged, I would expect a lot more. There was a total of 6 finger slices between me and the wife. Tasted bland as not enough filling. Just bread and butter. - Quiche was absolutely delicious. The one item that stood out from the whole experience so well done. - Scones were dry as a bone and freezing cold. Not fresh at all. Cream provided had little flavour and cheap tasting jam. - Every cupcake style item was dry as a bone and definitely not home made. Tasted like it was bought from the bargain section in a supermarket where its a day out of date. No flavour whatsoever. - Fruit was nice, tasted decent as did the salad. This whole experience cost a total of £40+. We was in and out in less than 75 minutes. Very very overpriced to the point where they are straight ripping people off. The sad part is, people will pay it and not complain. Location is beautiful as is the decor but everything else just felt like one big rip off. Truly feel cheated and scammed over £40 for stale cakes and bread with butter with bland tea. Avoid at all costs. There is better afternoon tea places out there.

Really nice place to eat...little bit hiden in forest, but very nice. Staff is very nice and welcoming. But you definetelly need a book a table in advance. I did not know it before, so we couln' t be served inside, but on the terrace outside ( 1of 2) with heater on. But it was nice too...Next time, I will book a table for indoor food and drink experience ❤️❤️❤️

Nipped in for a tea to go as already eaten before arriving for a walk. Friendly staff and having looked at the menu next time will get there earlier for a fry up before heading off to the trails. Member of staff (proprietor?), stopped for a chat and gave me a potted history of the site, there is an air raid shelter under the cafe! Also pointed out some of the buildings on site and their original purpose. Definitely going back.

A twee, wartime tea room with chandeliers and bone china teacups. Great for breakfast or afternoon tea. Located in Healey Dell so some nice walks and places of interest right on the door step. Great food and excellent service.

Absolutely amazing. It is a stunning tea room which oozes character and an Edwardian theme. The outside is impressive with lots of seating. We went for afternoon tea and it was simply fantastic. The sandwiches, quiche and cakes were delicious and there was a wide range of teas to choose from. The staff were attentive, kind and caring and even gave us a birthday treat, which was a lovely surprise. I have previously had tea and soup outside and that was fantastic too. We are already planning our next visit for my husband’s birthday in a couple of weeks. Thank you to everyone who works there for making it so special for us.

6 of us went here after a walk, we had food in the restaurant, service was very friendly and drinks/cakes were good. The big let down was they charge £3.50 in the restaurant, for cans of coke which is out of order. Obviously we didn't buy one.The owner replied to my original review and said I may be mistaken, so can you please confirm how much you charge for a can of coke bought in the restaurant please, as of Sunday 29th Jan 2023? Thanks for your latest reply. Under photos on Google, I've put a photo of the price of coke, from your restaurant menu which a member of your staff said was a can, it clearly states £3.50. Can you possibly post a photo of your menu which shows it to be £1.50 in the restaurant?

A beautifully decorated tea room with delicious food and drinks served. A bonus to have a lunch here after our walk in the reserve. Servers and chefs are very helpful and polite with our reservation. Tea room is spacious and interesting. Highly recommended to come if you are in this area.

Ordered from here since January now, tried different things from milk tea, yog the cake etc. My favourite is always the tea and I make a habit of trying a new one at least once everytime I order. Tried the mango mojito today and my god it worked a wonder for my sore throat. Everytime I order it's just perfect, delicious and refreshing. Ate half my blackberry yoghurt, saving the rest for tomorrow. Thanks to all the staff for taking care of your customers, your food and drinks are amazing and well worth it ❤️

Can’t even give it a 1 star, took our money and then said it was closed when it said online it was open. Can not believe how they have treated us. Have to call the bank to get my money back absolutely disgusted with this service. Never again will I attempt to order for here. Probably saved us from there shocking food… Edit: funnily enough the food was for me and my friend so we both put money towards it so that’s why I have made this review… and just to let you know it said on Google that you were open so if it said closed we would have never ordered from you so maybe get that fixed instead of faulsly advertising that you are open when you are clearly not…
