Huffkins in West Oxfordshire

A perfect country tearoom. The warm lardy cake was perfect and would definitely recommend.

Jacket potatoes were scrumptious and delicious the best cheesy tuna melt jacket potatoes me and family ate. Overall very expensive for one jacket potatoe £12. The cake slice was delicious full of flavour, soft and moist.

A great little find close to other amenities in the shopping village. We had a stop off post shopping for cake and hot drinks. Fruit Scone,jam and clotted cream - still warm. Absolutely delicious! The brownie was also very yummy! Clean, friendly and plenty of seating.

It was nice but not as good as the days before Covid

We were given a voucher for a Classic Afternoon Tea by our son back in May for my birthday but unfortunately when the young man scanned it he said it was empty and I would need to pay with another card. A young dark haired waitress was very sympathetic and said she would take advice. She returned to say the voucher would be honoured at Huffkins' expense. I would like to pass on my thanks to her for how she handled a potentially embarrassing situation. My son can prove he paid for it so I'm uncertain as to why it wouldn't work.

Staff were very polite, attenrive and thoroughly catered for our needs. Lovely cakes and beverages

Haven't visited here for a while, had hope to see a display of the cakes etc. but had to choose from a menu. I'm sure they are OK, however I like to see before buying.

Had a wonderful time at Huffkins! Was quickly given a table, excellent service when ordering and drinks and food came out very quickly. Thoroughly enjoyed our cake and drinks. Would highly recommend stopping by if visiting Burford.

Very nice tea room. The Victoria sponge and the scones are good even if a little heavy! Be careful what you put first, the cream or the jam! You could cause a heated argument! There are bathrooms upstairs

The atmosphere and setting is nice and cosy, friendly staff but my word the food and coffee is awful! Cheap sausages, cheap vinegary ketchup, cheap machine coffee - and totally overpriced! We left half our food and then went elsewhere. Much better options down the Highstreet

Very disappointing After visiting Bourton cafe which was excellent We ordered hot chocolate which was flavoured water with chocolate powder sprinkled on top It was not even hot and big lumps of chocolate powder at the bottom My husband ordered a latte which tasted watery and if cinnamon Won’t be back

We were in Burford yesterday 14/10/24 and called into Huffkins for a midmorning coffee and toasted teacake.We had a nice table by the window and our order was brought to us very quickly. Both items were lovely. On the way out I purchased some loose leaf tea and a jar of chutney. I look forward to tasting these and should the occasion arise that we are in Burford again,would have no hesitation in popping in again.

Excellent experience all round. Great food and service and dog friendly. A great find and highly recommended. We had the fishmonger sandwich.

Superb afternoon tea. Highly reccomended.

Lovely place staff are so nice .fast service. Yummy clotted cream scones

The staff at Huffkins Burford were so welcoming, the lardy cake was nicely presented. The tea was lovely. We fully enjoyed our experience and will definitely be returning again when we visit Burford next. I cant recall the names of the staff but they were brilliant!

We decided to have a cream tea - scone, jam and clotted cream. Despite this also being a bakery, the "scone" was unlike any scone we had ever seen; it was more like a brioche. The jam was pre-packaged in individual pots, and the portion of clotted cream came in a plastic tub. It felt industrial, rather than individual. The cherry on the icing was when the youth serving us handed over two knives, and helpfully explained that they were for spreading the jam and cream on the scone. Wow!! How could we have got to our late sixties and never understood what knives are for!? Talk about being patronised. Needless to say, we won't be back.

We popped in here for a morning coffee and I was very impressed by the care and attention given to her job by the very friendly waitress at the desk. The customer before us had ordered two breakfasts but both were for people on special diets. The waitress went to great lengths to ensure that all items on the menu were checked for suitability/safety for her customers, including repeated trips to the kitchen to double-check ingredients of things like the hash browns. She then apologised to me for the wait this had caused me, even though I had not had to wait long.and.any delay had not been her fault at all. Altogether very impressive customer service - and our coffees and croissants were very nice too.

First time visit when passing through Burford. Great food tuna and cheese melt, good tea, excellent service. Would visit again

So pleased we chose Burford huffkins , the staff were amazing , we had an afternoon cream tea , sandwiches were really nice and cakes were yummy, but had to take the scones and cream home to eat, would thoroughly recommend thankyou huffkins ❤

Best lardy cake ever. Not had one for 6 years... had a cake and sandwich plate with a scone, clotted cream and jam and a coffee. Loved it.

The scone was absolutely soft, light pairing well with the jam and clotted cream. We just stopped by for 20’. The service was quick and the staff were nice.

Weak tea. Lardy cake wasn’t great, more like a warmed up cinnamon swirl. Good customer service but £17.80 for two teas and two ‘lardy’ cakes was too pricey. Wouldn’t return.

Had a lovely afternoon tea with cakes, scones and sandwiches. Service was excellent and we ended up here as another tea room was especially snobby towards us! The food was delicious and we ended up buying some of their chutney as gifts.

Went there for lunch, ordered a chicken sandwich and it’s was rank Very moody staff

Great for cream tea. We only had cream tea and we liked it. A dog was also allowed inside.

"Charming coffee and cake shop with a cozy atmosphere. Delicious, freshly baked cakes and perfectly brewed coffee make it a must-visit spot for dessert lovers!"

Order at the counter or via app. Cakes and drinks good.

What can I say, it was an abysmal experience. High tea high prices but the service is only suitable for Wetherspoons.

Most expensive tourist trap in burford. Avoid if you have a mortgage. £7.50 for a tiny bacon roll….

Popped in while we were visiting this beautiful little town. I only had a pot of tea which, at £3.95 was the most expensive pot of tea I’ve ever had and sadly the worst. The tea tag suggests it’s their own brand but it’s so watery and it has no taste at all. My daughter wanted a smoothie, whilst she enjoyed it, the price tag of £7.50 was just too expensive. Other family members enjoyed their coffee. My son in law had a sandwich but reported it was very expensive and it was very dry as was the cake another family member had. On the whole very overpriced which, if the food and drinks were fabulous you wouldn’t mind but for mediocre to poor food and drinks sadly we wouldn’t revisit.

We were a party of 6 visiting on a Saturday lunchtime, the cafe was fairly quiet. We ordered mainly sandwiches and one pasty. Everything arrived within reasonable time except the pasty. We chased this a few times and each time were told it would be chased up, at no point were we told there was a delay or given the option to change the meal choice, and rather than explaining the delay and holding all the food back so it arrived at the same time, they just left one of the party without food. We had all finished our food a good 15 mins before the pasty arrived. Really poor customer service and big lack of communication.

Horrendous experience! Bought a gift voucher for my elderly parents anniversary. Dad is seriously ill. Alcester Huffkins refused to take the voucher!!! Said it was their managers policy. Once our favourite place will now never return ever again

Average at best. I'm shocked at the rating. The price is no where near reflected in the quality of food. Would not recommend for the price alone, I'm happy to pay the right price for high quality food.

Popped in for a cream tea for two. Service was excellent and the scones were delicious.

Nice stop for breakfast. Felt a bit chain like with not much atmosphere and I felt the menu was slightly limited.

A very nice afternoon tea, lots of nice sandwiches and cakes 👍

I had a bad experience in here last weekend, I was given 4 different filthy cups to drink out of. when I went to the kitchen to ask for a clean one.. I watched the member of staff use a dirty dish cloth that was sat on the side to wipe out a dirty cup, leaving it with smears and tea stains on it. At this point is asked for a refund for my cream tea that I had not yet received as I was not drinking my tea from a dirty cup. I was also given a cheese toasty (as a vegetarian) with a piece of ham stuck to the crust, this made me concerned about cross contamination which was proven upon seeing the sandwiches being made in the kitchen all on one chopping board. Upon leaving we headed to the till for our refund to be processed which was an extremely frustrating experience, the whole process took almost 30 minutes, we were not given a refund receipt and would not leave without proof, so we were sent next door to the tea room with another member of staff who had to call management/ head office. The refund was eventually made and a receipt was provided after a lengthy wait. I will not be returning.

Beautiful sitting in a nice place, good and kind service.

I love British tea culture. I came here to enjoy tea in the countryside, but I couldn't find a parking space, so I ended up only visiting for takeout, but the atmosphere was very nice. Local people were also relaxing and enjoying tea. Unfortunately, even though we arrived before noon, some of the tea and sweets were already sold out. Would you like to come to the UK exhibition in Japan?

Very nice girl served me. Pot of tea delicious, the chocolate éclair was really

Unfriendly staff (cashier, didn't even bother to say bye), outrageous prices. Overworked waiter (one poor lad serving 12 tables plus). Ordered a tea with cake (warm lardy cake). They forgot to bring the sugar, and also forgot to bring a teaspoon. The cake was terrible. The brand of tea (an earl Grey) is actually theirs, bland. Avoid.

We got an afternoon tea to share but there is no table service and you have to queue at the till to order once you have your table number. Waitress came over and dumped 2 napkins and a load of cutlery on our table in a pile saying here’s your cutlery, she did not set the table and when the afternoon tea came we had to ask for plates. You could choose a sandwich filling and choice was one of 3, tuna, coronation chicken or cheese and chutney which was a pretty poor choice. Opted for cheese and chutney but the chutney had a curry flavour. Scone was beautiful and fresh and lemon drizzle moist. Pot of tea for two was weak even after brewing for a while and we had to ask for more tea bags. On all honesty the afternoon tea was nothing special and I wouldn’t rush back. Certainly didn’t feel like a Cotswolds country afternoon tea.

A beautiful cafe in the city of Burford in the beautiful English countryside It is distinguished by its age 1890 AD and its delicious cake.

This is the best scone I ever had in my life. Cream tea is a must try.

Had the great British breakfast bap…. Wow lovely., served by a lovely waitress ( think her name was Jo) made me feel very welcome and at ease ( as I was on my own) would definitely recommend

I’ve been coming to Huffkins, Burford for years so came again yesterday for two takeaway sandwiches for £20.45, just the food, no drinks for that price. The sandwiches were ok but very ordinary and certainly not good value. I think they are catering to rip off all the tourists that visit this beautiful village. I will never be going into a Huffkins bakery again!

Lovely spot to have cream tea and scones!! Excellent service, friendly and efficient. I got both a sweet scone and savory. The savory one had a tomato chutney and of course I got clotted cream and jam with my sweet scone. Both were to die for and I’m still thinking about them a week later!

It’s a treat to go out for breakfast with a family and sadly, this was one breakfast we won’t forget for the wrong reasons. It took far too long, and we are happy to wait if the food is good but we were so disappointed. For the price, the amount and quality of food was underwhelming. Think twice before going for breakfast.

Nice tea room in Burford. Bacon and poached eggs on toasted sourdough bread is very good. It would be better if the eggs had a few grains of salt and pepper. Cream tea was also good, the house blend tea was plenty good. Only if they remember to bring the jam and clotted cream.

Whilst perfectly lovely service, even as they were attempting to train a new member of front of staff on a busy Saturday, the food was nothing overwhelming. We both had a sandwich as a very hot day and didn’t fancy anything hot, they were okay but nothing special and then we also each had a cake. My lemon drizzle cake was dry, no moisture at all, like it was a couple of days old and my partner did not rave about his Belgium bun either.

Popped in for light lunch Chose a savoury pinwheel pastry and salad. Salad was a very small handful of lettuce. Pastry dry and hard and looked old. Absolutely not worth just under £10

Good service despite how busy they were. Only spoiled by parent whose male child couldn't aim but couldn't be bothered wiping the toilet seat or report it😠

Lovely little place in the beautiful village of Burford. Great breakfast and dog friendly.

Lovely pot of peppermint tea 🍵 Service with a smile 😃 (young lad at the till)

Nice decoration inside. The food was good but the bekery and cake was great!!

This is THE place to have cream tea in the Cotswolds. It was when I came 30 years ago and it still is. It's been around for a long time and they know what they're doing. Food is excellent. I think the scones are brought out straight from the oven to the table.. They are easily the greatest scones I've ever had. The service is top notch. There are people coming in who speak all different languages and they are patient and helpful.

Helpful staff and pleasant location. Coffee was gorgeous

Freshly baked scone with pottles of jam and clotted cream... just delicious!

Lovely staff, nice big pot of tea 😀

Nice food and setting, service a bit slow/forgot to bring items requested.

I came here with my sister for the classic afternoon tea for 2, and we were not disappointed. It was worth the hour and half drive. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was lively. Would definitely recommend it. We also got a 10% discount off the Huffkins bags.

A great experience, food and service fantastic, however no disabled toilets as the only toilets are up a narrow set of steep stairs.

quick, efficient, friendly and great quality

Friendly staff, calm and welcoming atmosphere

Logan and Terry were superb. They were very attentive and they were very happy. Great service. They served us quickly and efficiently and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely return.

Truly the greatest eclair in the world is their raspberry one. And the lardy cake is the stuff of which poems are written and songs are sung. Disappointing they don't serve it with toffee ice cream and warm caramel sauce these days, though.

A very disappointing visit. I had booked afternoon tea as a treat for my daughter. When booking I asked if they could provide a gluten free tea as my daughter has coeliac disease. I was assured that it was no problem. On arrival we were initially told that they had no gluten free bread, scones or cake. The waitress was very apologetic and did eventually find chocolate brownie which turned out to be gluten free, but not exactly the treat I’d planned. I was very surprised as many places, tea rooms included, can cope with a gluten free afternoon tea. It is not an unusual request and their menu does say to inform staff of any dietary requirements. I feel this is a sad reflection on an establishment that normally provides excellent food.

Walked in and asked for a table for two and two dogs on at lunchtime on 26 March 2024. We were offered a table in the busy part of the cafe with little space for the dogs. Thinking of their customers and given the rear part was empty, I asked if dogs were allowed in the rear part, to be greeted by a very gruff non-courteous response “Well it’s just I’m on my own”. At this point we left responding “We will leave you in peace”. All very disappointing as we have visited numerous times before.

Breakfast bap was overpriced and disappointing. To be honest I'd have still been disappointed at half the price.

The service was good, given there was only 2 servers. The food quality is very average. Was hoping for more, given how it pitches itself and were it is. The prices are top heavy for sure. Around £10 more expensive for the same food and drink at lots of other places. We would not return here.

I wish they would be honest about when the business called Huffkins was started, it was in 1955 miss Sylvia Grey opened the first tea room food supplied by the Baytree Hotel kitchen at the back of the premises. My late grandmother and my mother used to meet there for tea shortly after it opened (both long term Fulbrook residents).

A lovely cafe , really enjoyed our visit. Delicious food, the staff were very friendly and helpful , would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Famous for it's cream teas and cakes Huffkins is well known in the Cotswolds and even has a restaurant in John Lewis in Cheltenham! The picture is of a Cotswold cream tea. Which is, by their standards a modest version of their cream tea featuring a sandwich of your choice, scones and cream and jam and a pot of tea. All at a reasonable price. Their celebration afternoon tea is impressive and if you fancy it, it's probably worth booking. I'd suggest not eating for the whole day before you go because it's enormous! This restaurant in Burford is perfectly fine, but like most of the shops in Burford, you can't help but think they are more geared towards tourists than locals. It's perfectly pleasant, but lacks a bit of soul.

I came here to enjoy British scones. I ordered a cream tea and a single drink to share with my husband, but the cream tea came in a set of two. I gave up changing it because I don't understand English, but it was very delicious.

Full english breakfast was ordered with a pot of tea at £14.95 with pleasant staff who seated me quickly. Tea arrived in a few minutes followed quickly by the breakfast Glad to see crispy bacon as requested but given the excellent breakfast disappointment that the poached eggs were cool This might be down to the extra time taken for the bacon?? Overall thought the best place for breakfast in Burford and will certainly be back

The food here was the tea and the bread was perfect combination! Like the interior!

We had a lovely visit today, the food and service was excellent, it was a wet and windy day so not many people about so the atmosphere was lacking inside also it was chilly sitting by the windows. But we will be back to try the afternoon tea

Great food and ambiance for easy popping in to.

We actually went to the Huffkins Tea Room in Burford. The cappuccino was awful. I think they used longlife milk and hardly any coffee. We couldn't drink it.

The coffee was awful. We had a cappuccino each and it tasted like long life milk was used and it was far too milky. I couldn't drink it.

Amazing afternoon tea as always

We visited for lunch and after a short wait were seated, at a table not big enough and an extra chair put on the end (there were bigger tables available) which we didn't mind as previous experiences have been great so being squished is worth the decent food. We all ordered the daily special soup - only to be told upon ordering that there isn't any. If that is the case, take it off the specials board and remove the card from all the tables advertising it. Or, the server should have informed us of this when we were seated. I was unable to eat anything else due to being in a crohns flare and specifically went there so I could have the soup - if we had been informed when we arrived we could have gone elsewhere. As it was, by this point we did not have time due to commitments so I had to go without whilst the rest of our party ate. My partners salad was missing half the ingredients and a tiny portion. My father in laws Victoria sponge was missing a large chunk out of the bottom of it. When I took my daughter to the toilet - all three of which were filthy - there was a very large Stanley knife on the floor in the baby changing toilet with the blade exposed. We bought this to the attention of a waitress who literally laughed! I have attached a photo for your reference. Really poor experience and service that has left a bad taste in my mouth and we won't be visiting again

Stupidly expensive for the level of service. At that cost, you'd think they could afford to heat the place and have more than one member of staff.

The best high tea we’ve had in the UK! We only had the small set this time as we were not very hungry.

Had breakfast here on a Saturday morning. Greeted well and ordered at the counter as requested. We expected to pay more than other places, that's fine, it wasn't a surprise. However, the quality of food was appalling. Sausage and hash brown was like something from a back street burger van. Very greasy bacon and over cooked poached egg. Tea cup had lipstick on it, which isn't the end of the world, these things happen. Food took quite a while to arrive which isn't a huge issue, but when linked with the shockingly poor quality food, and dirty cup, this place was really really poor. I don't doubt other reviews about this place, but I will never eat at this place again.

It was a lovely afternoon tea. The Huffkins team was attentive and kind. The food was delicious and well balanced. We enjoyed it very much and would go back!

Visited here while in burford for a few days Service and food is ok we had cream tea And was happy with it Only draw back it can take a while to get your drinks and food etc but overall is good

Haven’t been for a while as don’t live near brought mum for her 80 th birthday food good and service but the place was looking tired inside we sat in the back no atmosphere table and chairs looked old shame

I ‘popped’ in to Huffkins takeaway to get a few hot drinks whilst walking around Burford with some friends and unfortunately had a very bad experience. This was due to a very inexperienced member of staff who had been left unsupervised over lunchtime service. Not only did the drinks take approximately 10 minutes to make, but they did not even remotely resemble coffee, more like luke warm milky water. I was in there for 20 mins in total, with one other customer ahead of me, who also had the same experience. Do not waste your time or money - there are plenty of other really wonderful coffee shops in Burford that are far better.

Were given a table straight away, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was gorgeous, being served with next to no delay. Very highly recommended and will definitely be popping in again very soon !

Great place to take my American friends for. their first English Cream Tea

Excellent soup and cheese scone, and excellent staff who were a credit to Huffkins! All in all….excellent!

Great little place in Burford, Staff was a bit rushed off their feet and questioned what we ordered when we said we was missing somethings

Rather average cafe. Lacks atmosphere or warmth. Staff were functional rather than friendly. Microwaved heated scones. Coffee was distinctly average. I’m sure there are other cafes in Burford that are more inviting.

What happened to hufkins??? They used to sell quality local produce and lots of it for their breakfast, now I am not sure what the bacon was but really? Served cold with soggy bread. Disappointed . Has quality been sacrificed for expansion?

A truly English 🌹 experience.Our overseas guests should experience this ..

A little gem in Burford. A wonderful traditional English tea room, a place to relax and enjoy.

A lovely tearoom with great staff and great food. Had the butternut squash and sweet potato soup with cheese scone, wonderful! Highly recommend.
