Jemima's Kitchen in Shropshire

Having read some previous reviews we stopped for lunch. After a friendly welcome we chose the cheese scone with butter, Black Bomber cheese & pickle. The scone was delicious, warm from a fresh baking and complimented by the strong cheese & pickle. A super lunch!

We had a delightful goats cheese mushroom and pepper panini sat out in the sunny back garden. Will definitely be back when next visiting Church Stretton.

I'm a _very_ regular customer, several times a week, sometimes even several times a day, because = 101% excellent experience - food/coffee is great, service equally so - staff _so_ friendly, helpful, focused and obviously care about what they do - can't fault it. Go for it! :)

We were recommended by a local tradesman, I had the most delicious breakfast ever and my wife a lovely omelette, both coffee and glass of orange each. The service was by some lovely friendly ladies who were very welcoming, I even got a sausage for my dog, We sat in the beautiful cottage garden, if Heineken made tearooms this would be it. Can’t fault it, would go back at a drop of a hat. Dave, Lizzie and Eric from St Albans.

Lovely cafe, dog friendly (in the garden, not sure about inside), with character, great food , friendly staff & lovely home made cakes. Visited after a good walk up & over the long mynd, so had a much needed refuel (meant we could have lunch & a cake). We both had the Welsh rarebit & salad, which was excellent, both the carrot cake & Victoria sponge cakes are thoroughly recommended. We will be back

Fantastic food and service. We had carrot, ginger and honey soup to start. Then I had beetroot and basil roll served with a fresh salad. My husband had a jacket & cheese with a delicious salad. Pots of tea and a pot of water to top it up. A real treat.

Oh my this was a superb experience. Myself and my husband had a fruit scone with homemade jam and clotted cream. This was served warm too, one of the nicest freshly made scones I have ever tasted. I had a cappuccino and my husband had the red berry fruit tea which in his words was absolutely amazing so fresh and tasty. Staff were very welcoming it’s a very quaint cafe. Love all the pottery too. We will definitely be back.

Myself and my friend have going to Jemima's for just over 12months now, the main reason being Tina. We were in Church Stretton very early one Sunday morning post wet, soggy walk with our dogs and Tina was so friendly, kind and welcoming that we have kept coming back. The food has always been excellent (I'm a veggie). Also would like to mention the lady with the lovely blonde bob (sorry I don't know her name) who also works their, again really welcoming and kind. Great staff and great, fab garden and decor.

Super venu, super service and excellent porridge. Our first visit and this is a great place to start the day. It is cosy and welcoming. Thank you.

Had a lovely visit to Jemima's kitchen today. V friendly staff, fantastic food…the soups and scones were delicious. We enjoyed it so much we went back later for hot chocolate, and a tea cake! The hot chocolate is the best I have ever tasted! We will definitely be going back 😊👍

Previous visits would have seen me leaving a 5 star review but today's visit was underwhelming unfortunately - maybe just a blip? We like the quirky decor and usually the atmosphere, but it was very quiet there today. I have enjoyed numerous visits to Jemimas over the past few years. Not been in for a few months so I made a special trip to Church Stretton today with my daughter for a weekend treat before she went back to uni. The menu choice felt limited. I had the broccoli and camembert soup soup which was unfortunately unpalatable. My daughter had a baked potato, which was a reasonable price but undercooked. When I mentioned the soup as I paid they said they had had a few complaints about it and the aftertaste was probably caused by the white wine they had added. Shame they didn't think to mention this when I ordered it. I won't hurry back.

A fantastic welcome every time, and THE most delicious cooked breakfasts with locally-sourced ingredients, cooked with care. Selfishly, I almost didnt write this review, in case I can't get a table next time we want to eat at Jemima's Kitchen. It's that good. Book, enjoy, and thank me later. :)

Couple of Australians (Western) needing to sit down, relax and get an energy fix after walking the trails of Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd. Excellent service with great coffee & home made cake… sitting in the shaded garden out the back.

What a little gem in Church Stretton, staff were so friendly and welcoming, couldn't be more helpful finding us the coolest spot (dog on a hot day) to have our lunch Food and staff were excellent, wouldn't hesitate to come back when we are next in the area

Lovely food, friendly service and the most delightful garden! A little haven! We had paninis and they were delicious. Would definitely return next time we're in the area.

We went to Jemima's kitchen for brunch. Staff were really friendly and food was amazing. I opted for the banana French toast with bacon, cinnamon and creme fraiche. It was absolutely delicious. My partner had poached eggs on toast which were also perfectly cooked. A real treat!

Brilliant food, drinks and service from Tina the waitress! Will be back for more tea and coffee soon. Lovely atmosphere as well!

Better than any coffee house I’ve ever been to! Vanilla latte to die for you!! Visited with friends and had a beautiful sausage and onion baguette. 10/10. Must visit!

Nice quirky cafe with charming personal touches, we came twice for breakfast, which was very good, service was quick and efficient, we haven’t tried the garden yet, both times we ate inside.

Popped in for lunch yesterday - sandwiches and tasty pea, lettuce and tarragon soup and a cheese scone. So lovely. Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Have always had a pleasant meal, either breakfast or lunch but yesterday was exceptional.

We'd visited before and thought we'd return for a Cream Tea. Indoors, little had changed although some of the furniture and fittings were now looking tired and in need of some love and attention. A good clean, dust and tidy would have helped. We appreciate that items are freshly prepared, but service including ordering was slow. And finally, the cream tea was both more expensive than others bought on holiday this year, and not so nice as others.

Reviewed a number of times but haven't sat out in the garden before, what a wonderful experience, idyllic. Lovely walled garden with a view of the church. Swedish(?) almond tart with clotted cream, my friend had the Victoria sponge. Both delicious. We had coffees and the bill was £10.95! Friendly people and despite there being so many good cafés in the village, this is the best.

Lovely lunch in a pretty, shaded walled garden, overlooking the church. Plenty of indoor seating too (and you can stay in the attached hotel). Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and great, freshly prepared food. Fresh fruit milkshakes highly recommended! Open on Sundays which many places in the town were not.

Pretty comprehensive breakfast menu. Mostly locally sourced ingredients, all prepared fresh. Great service. Nice touches of China cups, tea strainers for excellent green teas. Lovely English breakfast, cooked to my requirements. Opens at 9.30, which might be an issue to some.

This was our third visit to Jemima's, i can really recommend this establishment, if your ever visiting Church Stretton. In contracst to another review ( on the same day), the welcome, the service, & the food quality exceeds all expectations. Thank you so much & we look forward to returning

Intriguing set of rooms to enjoy an afternoon tea in. Relaxing atmosphere with second hand and new books for sale on the shelves. Excellent scones (so popular we had the last 2) with proper clotted cream and choice of homemade jams. Proper teacups, teapots and...

We dropped in on spec as a family of four and had a great breakfast, really friendly staff and fab quirky decor. Highly recommended.

I’ve been to Jemima’s Kitchen as few times over the years. Today I took my family for breakfast and we all had a fabulous meal. This cafe has a lovely ambience and the food is top quality. Service is fantastic. My daughter enjoyed her pancakes....

We stumbled across this delightful place recently, after exploring the Shropshire Hills. A lovely, cosy place with delicious food. I had the homemade soup of the day which was just marvellous & just what I needed on a cold and blustery day! Everyone was so...

It started with a trip down an alley (albeit a small one), a ring of a bell and a warm welcome into (what felt like) someone's house - it felt like you were being admitted into a private club! Gorgeous food, super friendly staff, delicious...

Reviewed before but deserves another mention after continuous, consistently great visits since. Is Mooghan Z a mad, anti vaxxer or just someone who wants to do his own thing without the care for others? 40% of his reviews are average or less, what a misery....

We visited from just up the road in Much Wenlock, for a change of scenery. A walk and a meal turned into just a meal, as the weather was really bad. So we went straight to Jemima's Kitchen, which had been recommended on this site....

We stopped in Church Stretton for lunch on our journey south, and chose to visit Jemimas based on reviews. Not wanting a huge meal we both chose the granary baguette. It was a huge portion, with a nice salad and fruit chutney. It took a...

Oooh nice! A very good find. We had a great welcome and really delicious homemade food. We happily recommend and will happIly return. Nuff said.

Very friendly. Lovely well tended garden. Superb lunch. Welcomed the dog with treats. Delicious homemade lemonade. Highly recommend this gorgeous tea room. Also good Covid interventions done well.

Had lunch here with my husband today.....the Aussie special ( unusual and v yummy ! )and a ham baguette, which came with a super salad The ham was juicy and plentiful, I had it with an onion relish....superb Excellent all round, v covid safe and...

Another fabulous visit. We weren’t able to get a table inside for Sunday breakfast as it was full (unsurprisingly), but our lovely waitress sat us in the glorious garden with a promise to seat us indoors as a priority should it get chilly or start...

They had an excellent selection of homemade cakes, lovely tea and great service. The setting is also very relaxed and cosy

Me and my friend met here for a lovely tea and cake. Covid restrictions was applied very well and the staff was welcoming will defiantly be back

My wife had died, I lost my house, my kids wouldn't talk to me and I had crippling debt... what even is the point any more. Is what I was thinking before eating at this amazing place! Changed my look on life and was a...

Whenever we come to Church Stretton we always stop by. Amazing Viennese coffee and delightfully tasty food.

It was a beautiful day, which I am sure made it more special but the garden was a beautiful spot for lunch - so pretty and colourful. Good food too - better than your average cafe.

The garden was beautiful, great atmosphere, quiet and intimate, only 5 tables. The menu was fresh and there was a nice variety of choices, from sandwiches, to omlets, to breakfast pastries and cakes, teas and coffees, and smoothies. I had the farmers ham sandwich on gluten free bread, an oat milk latte, and a piece of gluten free apricot and almond slice. The sandwich was served with a variety of salads that were well presented and tasted great. I wasn’t wild about the apricot dessert— too sweet for me, needed to be more almond crust. My friend had the Mediterranean veg sandwich and enjoyed it as well. It was very affordable as a nice bonus! Service was good, people friendly and accommodating. Will def go back for afternoon tea at some point.

I am a hard man to please when it comes to bacon. Most elements of a full English, I am not fussy. I can appreciate a good sausage, a crispy hash brown, or a perfectly poached egg, but it wouldn't matter to me if these elements were sub-par. However, if you speak to either of my friends they will tell you that I am a diva when it comes to the bacon. Crispy? No thanks. Fatty bits? Bleugh. A little burnt? I'd rather eat soap. Jemima's Kitchen provided me with THE BEST BACON that I have ever tasted. I suspect that I ever will taste better bacon, as this has to be the best bacon in the world. It was sublime. It melted in the mouth. It was somehow creamy. It made me want to die there and then in a moment of pure joy. And so I would like to sincerely thank everyone involved - pig, farmer, abattoirist, delivery driver, cafe owner, chef, waitress and washer upper - in the beautiful experience which was this bacon.

We had coffees and delicious cakes in the peaceful and beautiful garden here. All of the staff were lovely, the facilities were good. We sat among flowers, trees and shrubs, looking up at the church, which had a lovely chime

We had excellent paninis for lunch. The salad was very colourful and delicious! Lots of choice and all very fresh. Great to sit in the pretty garden and we later stayed in the B & B upstairs.

My partner and I eat here often as the food and the service s always great.Many dishes are served with the three salads of the day which are always freshly made and very tasty. This time I had the ham and emmental croissant which I always enjoy and is pretty filling.

New covid regulations were in force. We rang the bell and were met at the door ensuring we had face masks and had sanatised our hands before being shown to our table. All reassuring in this present climate. We were given the option of sitting in a window seat in a room completely on our own which suited us. Staff very welcoming and a good menu. I had a bacon and scrambled egg bun which I heartily recommend. We have decided that we will make Jemima's a regular place when we are in the area.

Always enjoy visiting Jemima's. Their dark brown Shropshire bread toast with jam is simply exquisite 😊👍

Popped in for something light for lunch and treated to a beautiful ham and Emmental salad with different flavors in the rice, coleslaw and carrot salad most enjoyable. My wife had courget soup also unusual and delicious. Very cottage feel, clean and very Covid aware. We visited the Light Spout Waterfall where I proposed 10 years ago.

Went on holiday to North Wales for bank holiday weekend and made the effort to travel an hour just to go back and visit this coffee shop again for their award winning scones and well worth it. First visit was in Nov 2019 and have wanted to go back ever since. Food is superb, top class, with friendly service. It’s a place I would definitely go back to again and again.

We dropped in for a late breakfast. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Excellent breakfast good quality ingredients very tasty. Coffee was excellent too. Great price for quality food thank yo

We popped into here for lunch and it happened to be the first day they had opened since lockdown. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and chatty as they showed us through to the garden seating area. We were impressed with how beautifully kept and homely the garden felt. We ordered a baguette and a panini, both were delicious and served with salad, coleslaw and crisps. We enjoyed the lunch so much we decided to stay and try the scones which were also fabulous. A true gem and a highlight of our visit to Church Stretton.

My wife and I pop into Jemima's now and again for breakfast. We're local, so that's handy. The cooked full English is amazing. Great local produce, well cooked and presented. Service is always friendly and attentive too. Definitely worth a visit.

I ate here with my husband and relatives (and our dog!) recently, and we had a fantastic lunch. The tea, baguettes, paninis and Welsh rarebit were all 10/10. We loved the decor, eclectic furniture and crockery too. We’d love to visit again.

Stopped for latte mid morning. Best coffee had in a long time. Loved the decor. Several different rooms so was like having coffee in some ones living room. There was also artifacts for sale such as cards, paintings and pottery. Friendly service. Recommend

Lovely place. We went here for afternoon tea for my Mum’s 90th birthday. The food was excellent - sandwiches, cakes, scones and tea. Everything was freshly made and tasted delicious. Wouldn’t definitely recommend. X

Excellent quality food and lovely staff , discovered this through Trip Advisor and will most definitely come back:)

Super lovely dog friendly cafe. Staff very attentive and friendly, quick service and one of the best sandwiches I have had (New York deli). Will be back.

This was a nice find before our walk and we enjoyed tea/coffee and toast in this lovely cosy cafe. The food looked good too - we'd like to return for a bigger meal.

A lovely High St cafe offering a selection of homemade food and good coffee. Staff are welcoming and the place is charmingly decorated, inexpensive and serves good quality ingredients. Delicious.

We were visiting the area and arrived in Church Stretton around lunch time. We went into this lovely cafe with our dog. They are very dog friendly, the offered water and treats for our dog. The food was great and the staff very friendly, next time we are in the area we will be calling again

I live nearby but have only been to Jemima's Kitchen a couple of times before. Today I had lunch there. The service is great, the atmosphere really lovely and the food was delicious. The pavlova was probably the best I have ever eaten. Definitely recommended.

Cycled into town on a damp, mucky daylooking for lunch for 12 people. Hit upon this place by chance and it turned out to be excellent. Friendly,welcoming, comfy and good menu. Good food. Would certainly recommend.

Best scones I have ever tasted, had them with damson prune jam and clotted cream, finger-licking good. Such a cute tearoom in a thriving little village. Friendly staff. Rooms you can book to stay overnight, will definitely be back. Got to try other items from the menu.

Cosy dog friendly cafe with delicious food! We had the Brie bacon and cranberry panini after a long walk and they were lovely. Staff were more than accommodating and looked after our dog with water and fuss!

Very friendly, comfy sofas, tasty paninis and value for money ! Quirky little cafe but clean and quickly made to feel welcome, Quick service and well worth the money.

Soup and a cake. Very tasty. Exactly what a tea shop should be, home made, simple, friendly. B&B; attached, will be back.

Popped in for a quick lunch with family and friends. Very quirky interior and very friendly staff. We all had the homemade soup ( choice of 2) and either homemade cheese scones or filled sandwiches- delicious!

The nicest full breakfast I’ve had in a long time. I went for the standard full English and my partner went for the large, the portions were the perfect size and the food was gorgeous. Each ingredient on the breakfast was so tasty. We both opted for the brown bread and poached eggs, the eggs were done to perfection. The bread was a gorgeous thick bloomer slice. I would definitely recommend this place!

Popped in here for a coffee saw the menu and ate instead. I chose the ploughman’s with one other. The ladies had salad and stuff!!! Jemimas daughter served us offered us a beer and we let her decide what it was however I’ve forgotten what it was but it was good...ploughman’s also fantastic...the scotch egg....

Popped in with my wife and son, as we were meeting additional family who live in Shropshire and had recommended this place based on reviews, and have to say we weren’t disappointed.

Lovely welcome, stylish, very pleasant interior, and a wonderful menu. Great french toast, bacon or sausage butties with proper farm meats and local bread. Perfect poached eggs. Proper pots of tea with leaves (and strainers) and excellent coffee. Easy to eat yourselves to a standstill but Cardingmill Valley is just up the way, so you can walk it off (and contemplate going back for lunch).

This is one of our regular haunts in Church Stretton as we visit at least once every one or two weeks. Lovely coffee and great cakes but if you want more there there are breakfast and lunch meals too. Supper staff that are very friendly. A perfect place for a coffee break.

Yum yum!! Well this place deserves 10/10. I stayed at Victoria House B&B.; Jemima’s Kitchen provide the breakfast. The breakfast was top notch perfectly cooked and presented. I’m vegan and they provided me with a hearty breakfast of sausages, beans, tomatoes and mushrooms with toast with vegan spread. I’d advise you ask for the Shropshire Brown (bread) real nice bread toasted with your breakfast.

We have been sat at a table waiting for our order to be taken for ten minutes. I've seen a chap take the money off another customer, but he's now disappeared into the back and has not returned.

Church Stretton has a few excellent cafés and we're always spoilt for choice.

Leaf tea in china cups with scones, jam and thick, thick cream, served by friendly staff. Not much else to say other than visit.

A lovely coffee house. Friendly and welcoming service, very comfortable surroundings and decor - lovely day so we sat out in the garden area at the rear of the property. Great coffee and delicious cakes. Loved it!

We stopped here en route to Cheltenham for some lunch after reading reviews. Church Stretton is roughly halfway along the way so I looked for cafe's here. The restaurant is cozy and individual with nice bits of antique furniture, good art work and an interesting range of cards to buy. It was a horrible rainy day so it felt great to get out of the weather and settle down comfortably. The food was tasty, the service was very good. We're all quite fussy but enjoyed our visit. I would definitely recommend

Delighted to find somewhere for lunch that offers more choice than the standard ham or cheese sandwiches. The pastrami and the Gorgonzola were both delicious. Quirky surroundings, but very comfortable. Young staff need a bit more confidence.

Staff just can't do enough for you! Lovely breakfast so lovely we returned for cream tea later that day which was to die for. The Damson jam is scrummy :) we will definitely be returning when next in the area.

We visited with two dogs late morning and were tempted by the fact that they were still serving breakfasts. We had a Full English and Buttered Mushroom on Toast and both were very tasty with good quality ingredients. Tea and coffee were also good and dogs were given water and a treat. Would definitely recommend.

Just popped to stretton for a family walk and noticed this little beauty on the way to the car park. Browsed the online menu and made our minds up to visit.

Small, good service and normal prices. Very cosy and welcoming. If you're looking for a breakfast, lunch snack or just coffee. It was recommended to us and I'll pass it on.

Stopped for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Good selection of deliciously different lunch items.

I've had cake here a few times and most recently a bacon sandwich so it was time for a breakfast.

After a very long walk on The Mynd this was the perfect find. Really welcoming staff, period style setting. And a menu that delivers much more than is written. Both are dishes came with a great selection of interesting accompaniments. You won't go hungry! My only regret was that I was too tired to eat it all or to move onto cake.

After cycling down long mynd we needed food, it was scary the ride down!! Perfect little cafe, friendly, great sandwiches all fresh ingredients. Could not fault it xx

Stopped twice here after a long walking day ....nice atmosphere..friendly staff ...lots of different areas to sit ...Great coffee ..

Looking for somewhere to eat in Church Stretton and saw Jemima’s kitchen. Customers leaving said the food was excellent and worth a try. Good range of food and cake and well presented. Friendly staff and quick service. Baguette’s are served with side salad and 3 sides, carrot salad, coleslaw and a quinoa salad - very tasty and good value.

Called in for afternoon tea whilst walking in the area. Very friendly and chatty staff. Scones were fresh and delicious with real clotted cream. Not to be missed if you are in Church Stretton.

We no longer live locally, but Jemima's is worth the hours drive! We were served today by Tina and she could not have been more helpful. The food was delicious, with generous portions. The side salad that came with the baton was unusual and the perfect accompaniment.The rooms are clean and beautifully presented making this the perfect place to visit. We visit a lot of tearooms and this is one of the best.

First visited in May 2018 still as excellent. Breakfast coffee superb all diets catered for and efficient friendly service. Absolutely nothing to fault.

Excellent service, very good food Some of the friendliest & most polite staff we have come across. The two rooms that were open to view look comfortable, good old fashioned rooms bit exceptionally clean.

Stopped here for breakfast on our way down to visit Ludlow. Although there were some tables reserved from 11am the staff very kindly fitted us in. Jemima’s is a lovely cosy place that does exceptional breakfasts. We both had French toast with crispy bacon, maple syrup and berries and it was outstanding. DH likes this kind of food for breakfast when we are away, but it was my first try, and it was superb! Only wish I could eat my breakfast here every day. We would love to visit again to try some other things from the menu. We were spoilt for choice!

Lovely, excellent quality food with friendly service. I wanted a combination of aspects of items from the menu - the lady was perfectly happy to fulfil my requests. The carrot cake is scrummy!! My husband had Christmas cake and said it was delicious.

You'll get a lovely welcome from Diana and her team. The coffee, cakes and breakfasts are just so tasty and it's a pleasant way to spend an hour in her lovely Victorian tearoom. This was our third visit (Over a couple of years) and if we only lived nearer I'd be there more often!

Great tea and cake in the afternoon. This is a quaint tea room with lovely cake and nicely presented pots of tea.

Brilliant little cafe/coffee house attached to a boutique hotel right in the centre of town. Friendly staff and a top top English breakfast breakfast that me and my golfing mates can fully endorse. I don't normally like marmalade but theirs has changed my mind. We all loved this place - thanks Diane & team for looking after us so well - we changed our plans so we could eat here again !
