Kitchen Tea Room in East Riding of Yorkshire

Very friendly and caring staff who are always willing to help in any way they can. It has a great range of sandwiches to choose from, I especially like the toasted ones. If sandwiches don’t take your fancy then there is also salads and lots of tasty bites. The cookies are to die for.

The sandwiches here are next level. The cakes are amazing. WOW! Lots of goodies to choose from. Lovely friendly staff too.

I have ordered a Kitchen Buffet previously and always been pleased with quality and amount provided but this time was very disappointed by the amount of cake included. Today I collected my £8 per person buffet for 6 people and got 16 very small pieces of cake included. . Was sure this was a mistake so contacted the shop to be told the amount was correct. Apparently for a £8 per person buffet for 6 people you get 4 cakes cut up. To say i was disappointed was a understatement. In fainessthe Sandwiches and savories look nice .

Visiting 5 minutes before closing on a rainy Thursday, as ever spoilt for choice, Mandy insisted what she was about to make would be the best ever sandwich. Class prediction from Mandy, and as promised.. I said I would leave a review it was lovely, thank you.. I will be back in! George

Before visiting we checked the opening times for a Saturday which on the website state 4pm on Google it states 5pm. We arrived at 3pm and entered a shop that looked like it was about to close as staff were cleaning up and the shelves were bare. Very disappointed as we travelled especially to grab a late lunch and to avoid the rush. Sandwich orders stop at 3pm yes... but there was nothing else apart from some very dry looking pastry and cakes. Nothing on the take out menu was available not even a iced coffee as they had cleaned the machine. My point being opening times should be correct. Will not be returning a very poor first impression.

Amazing all round, sanwiches, quiche and cakes. The sandwiches are filled generously with high quality ingredients. We particularly likes the ham, cheese and coleslaw on a salt and pepper tiger roll.

The food is first rate with a huge choice of cakes and savouries to enjoy all the fod is made to the highest standards and has to be seen to be believed

FOOD & STAFF EXCELENTE Just popped in for a coffee, but ended up having food, we took our grand daughter who is 3 they couldn’t do enough for her, Super friendly staff & a super clean shop, Also bought cakes from the shop ( yummy )

A great presentation of what’s on offer from cakes to savouries. Savouries include various scotch eggs, pies, pizzas etc. Cake selection is quite amazing with generous portions on offer.

Very nice Tea room with friendly staff and good food. the shop has nice selection of gifts and food, will have to take my wife next time.

Stopped by for coffee and cake fabulous place very very friendly nothing was too much bother .book or get there early soon gets busy other people’s food looked fab x

The afternoon tea is not very good. The sandwiches look like they came out of a navvy's lunch box. Bread very thick. Cakes were average Tea was nice though.

Lovely place with delicious food. There was lots of choice and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Can't wait to go back!

We had another fantastic lunch at this great tearoom. The service was excellent and the food was a very high standard as expected. We had BLT and ham, cheddar and piccalilli sandwiches with Yorkshire Blue, smoked bacon and chive dirty wedges. All that can be said is it was all delicious! The atmosphere here is always great and it is a real dining experience. We bought portions of cake to take home in the shop on the way out. You must visit this place if in the Howden area!

We somehow managed to get our timings right yesterday and walked straight in and get a table. As usual there was a good choice of cake and I wasn’t disappointed with my selection. You have a bit of a wait to get served but they do serve people in order so this is to be expected. There decaf coffee is always good.

I’m a regular at the kitchen but it wasn’t untilToday when I took my daughter and her 3 friends for hot chocolates and nibbles that I found myself amazed by the kitchen. The kids aged 6-10 didn’t want anything big so I went to the counter to choose a few things eg: 2 x sausages rolls labelled £1-10 each. -1 x Cheese straw. 1 x Small pork pie @£2.25 and a sweet chilli sausage rolls same price. The girls shared and I asked for the bill. £35!!!! When I looked i was charged £4 for the sauasages rolls. When o asked the waitress she advised that it’s the charge for eating in. I was flabbergasted.£2.90 per item each to sit in and eat?? Then we had a take our salad bowl. £10 eat in or £5 take out. Again I asked the waitress. She advised it’s also the things they came with ..... a tiny dish of tomato ketchup?? I can honestly say. I shall never ever eat in there every again. How can people label one price and charge another. A service charge you expect In high end restaurants of about 10-15% but not be charge double the amount for each item. Fast food restaurants charge about 40p to eat in ...I’m still completely flabbergasted about it. The foods ok. But nothing special. Not one to have a moan but this is just crazy!!!!

Lovely little tea room. With fantastic food and huge cakes! The staff are very friendly. The afternoon tea is definitely worth a try, it's lovely

...... in a small quaint place! Just wanted a sandwich and a brew as we were going out in the evening meeting friends. We were staying in nearby Pollington and drove into Snaith finding this place as we walked through. Absolutely top notch food. Ploughman’s (meat) was the best I’ve ever had. It was huge and I brought most of it out in a box but couldn’t fault it. My fiancé had a cheese & balsamic onion sandwich which also was really good. Will defo go again if we are in this area.

Had the most fantastic lunch here with my mum! It was simply amazing!!! The portion sizes are huge and the quality is simply amazing! We had a deli board and a ploughman’s. Will definitely be going again!

Well what can I say went in for abit of lunch this afternoon after been in a meeting all morning to be stood there 15min for 3 people to be spoken to and served before myself and then to be told stand by the sign oh you mean the sign I was stood by before the 2 gentleman in front of me was seated and still no one to come and say we will be with you soon or it won’t be long no non of that rude is the word they could clearly see I was stood waiting I’m also a disabled person I can’t stand for very long and to be stood this long was too much for me I left with out anyone even saying anything to me iv never really had a problem with this place we come often to this one and the one in howden but I won’t be coming again and the afternoon tea we had planned for 20 of us will now be relocated to else where .

Wij stopten hier op weg van Hull naar Edinburgh voor een heerlijk ontbijt. Originele koffiekoeken, lekkere ontbijt burgers en verzorgde koffies kn een originele en super gezellige setting

Well.. I was totally bowled over by this beautiful, quaint little Gem!

Went with friends and the food we had was very nice and was fairly priced only down fall is very busy we decided to wait anyway for a table took 25mins but after ordering our food it took half an hour to come on which we had finished our drinks I think they could do with some extra staff apart from that it is worth a visit

The food here was also nice and the place quante however. Another price increase has led from an nice afternoon family treat to a min £35 spend for a cake and a drink for a family of 3.

ordered with my mum and aunty, ploughmans salad was lush, and the 2 others had sandwhiches. all fab.

Brought my mum for a lunchtime treat and were not disappointed!

The Kitchen is a perfectly nice place which is trying hard to be quirky.

Probably the best Tearoom I have been to. Having been many times and never been let down. The staff are excellent very polite and efficient. The food is delicious and very varied with something for everyone. This tearoom is very popular which is testament to the quality it provides please do not let the fact that you may have to que for a little bit put you off as I can assure you the wait is more than worth while

As busy as ever!! Food was delicious and staff very helpful and attentive. Such a treat in a busy schedule

I have lost count of how many times i have been here. I come with my husband, in laws and friends. We have had take out sandwich’s and cakes, sat in for breakfast, afternoon tea, ordered a buffet for a party and just a quick catch up coffee.

I go to monthly and have never been disappointed by the Arthur Haigh Sausage Sandwich. Best sausage sandwich I have ever had. The cakes are also very nice if you fancy a treat afterwards

Just had a terrific afternoon tea at Snaith. This wasn't our first visit but the standards of service and the food are always very good. Thank you ladies. XX

Probably the best sandwiches in Yorkshire...can be frustrating if you call in at peak times ( 11am-12.30 ).... it’s a small shop and sandwiches are prepared to order but if you have the time it’s worth the wait.

Unplanned stop at this little tea room, the display cabinet was Amazing and very tempting, on first impressions it looked like they only had 2 tables but opened up into a beautiful seating area.

I decided to pop in here with my husband for a cheeky brunch date as we had a rare day off withou children. we waited a little while for a table but once seated the service and food were lovely. Can’t wait to go again

My husband and I travelled 12 miles from Pontefract on a strong recommedation from a friend. We were not disappointed! The food was of the highest standard and quality and the staff were wonderful and couldn’t do anymore for you.

Great food 3rd/4th visit also been to the kitchen at Snaith as well as Howden.

We arrived in Snaith to find there were no car parks, only roadside parking for just one hour. We waited for a table, waited even longer to order, then waited longer still for the food to arrive. Only half an hour left. Sitting right next to the toilet door, we found the food to be separated into silly little pots and served on a wooden board. What's wrong with plates? The drinks were a joke. Half full jam jars with floating fruit and melon wedge tops. Two sucks on my straw and it was gone. They'd run out of bread and got my wife's order wrong. We had to quickly pay and dash out to the car before the traffic warden arrived. "They're pretty keen round here" we were told. It's not very nice eating a meal with one eye on your watch. Won't be returning.

What a quaint little Tea Room. Charley served us and was a breath of fresh air, polite and extremely helpful when it came to choosing what we should have. The soft drinks came with berries in them and the food was served on boards with tiny tea cups with chutneys. Was disappointed with the cream cakes as the cream was not fresh and the one with fresh cream was not sweetened so did not taste right. Overall a pleasant experience

Went on our second visit to kitchen shop and tea rooms this week and felt I had to give them the review they thoroughly deserve. The choice is just mind blowing and

After being recommended by a friend I had to try the afternoon tea from The Kitchen. It is absolutely beautiful! The sandwiches are better than any afternoon I’ve ever tried with salmon and cream cheese, cheese and tomato chutney and ham and caramelised onion. The sandwiches are full to bursting with the filling, and the cakes are gorgeous. The price is insane at £18.95 for 2 people. They could definitely charge more for this as it is faultless. Have recommended this to all family and friends, and we are trying to arrange a large party visit at the Howden branch, for my sisters 16th as she loves this place too!

My 2nd visit in less than a week. Afternoon tea a must but ensure you are ready to eat.

We went out to eat recently and this has never happened to me before, but by the time we got there, it had been nearly 4 hours since I had eaten, I thought no big deal. There really wasn't a long wait for food, but Samantha (our server) noticed my hands shaking and at her suggestion brought a bite size portion of millionaire shortbread over to sort my blood sugar out. She was a superstar and went above and beyond. The food we ordered was truly awesome as always and we thoroughly enjoyed the day and took lots of delicious cakes home with us for later as we were to full for dessert! All the staff are friendly and efficient which means you are never queuing for long. The food is excellent, I would strongly recommend.

Popped in with my mum for a look as been recommended by friends but was very shocked at the level of bad customer service and sky high prices, very disappointed better food elsewhere without the price tag

Visited this place on reputation by locals.

I nipped in for a coffee and a bite to eat, the place is lovely old style tea room, the service is very friendly and the quality of food and drink was excellent.

A lovely little coffee place we visited for breakfast after The Kitchen in Howden's was fully booked.

Love this place- quality food, great atmosphere, it just begs you to enter ... once in you willnot be disappointed the food is fabulous! Only problem is it’s too popular & you may have queue.

This place was recommended by a friend & having heard previous reviews decided to try - a leisurely Good Friday drive brought us here & though the place was full we only had to wait a couple of minutes for a table. Being a regular lady that lunches I'm no stranger to good food but definitely wasn't prepared for this! My choice of the Deli Board was absolutely the right one - beautiful fresh wholesome goodies and plenty of them! No room for desert but they looked equally as good! Will definitely back & cant believe how long it's taken me to try this place -11/10!!!

Food in this little tea room is the best around by far. Staff are polite, the sandwiches have a huge amount of filling instead of mainly bread like the usual sandwich shops.

This is a great place for a leisurely lunch. You sometimes need to wait.for a table but it's we'll worth it. Toasted chorizo and goats cheese sandwich- Superb!

Wow what a sandwich shop and cafe, always busy which says everthing, Sandwich fillings are great , not the usual stuff and one is enough for the best of us.The sweets look amazing and they are !! the cafe is a little crampt for seating...

Popped into the kitchen to buy a selection of savoury foods as we had family visiting . The quality and variations of products was fantastic, including very polite staff members . Well done to you all....

Ordered the £5.50 take out buffet for 20 people as a bite to eat following Mums funeral. Actually ate it in the Black Lion pub in Snaith. Fantastic sarnies, lots of excellent quality

Visited on Saturday at 11ish, got quite busy early on. The food was fabulous, I had the eggy bread. The shop was very good and I queued and got a salad for later (excellent value) and some cream egg brownies which were amazing!! Absolutely loved it here and would like to come back asap - my new favourite place.

Had phoned up before hand and told you cannot book so arrived just before 12. Needed table for 5, obviously busy but told would not be long. Even asked if Howden might be better for our “Larger” group but said by time we drive there will be seated.

Brill sarnie to start day off little while to wait but we’ll worth it plenty of filling very tasty try one !!!!

Perhaps it's just my age but was full all day after brunch here.

Visited this place twice now and have nothing but praise for this establishment. We will be back deffinately. We arrive early for lunch as the place is very popular and busy. As you walk the cakes and things to buy in the shop are amazing. If you have a sweet tooth you will be in heaven. You are seated in room off the shop at few select tables and the ambience is lovely, cosy and unhurried. The service is attentive and friendly. The food is such that when it's set before you it is always a wow! The prices are so very reasonable. Have nothing but praise for this little find.

have purchased produce many times. first class, had our first coffee the other day very good service & coffee, thanks Max

Came here today for luncheon with my friend. Beautiful place very cute and cosy inside. Staff all lovely and very attentive. Got served by a lovely girl called katie. Would definitely recommend. Thoroughly enjoyed.

What a fabulous eatery! Scrummy afternoon tea at a very reasonable price too compared to some High End establishments in York and Harrogate. We have been here so many times and even though there is sometimes a wait for the table as its not a large place the staff are always helpful and polite. I think we probably have tried the whole menu, the platters are amazing, I particularly love the salad bowls. Cakes are utterly amazing. Make sure you visit soon, it will not disappoint.

I went for afternoon tea for my birthday, the food was lovely and well presented. We had to take some home with us as we could not finish it all. We opted for prosecco instead of the tea.

After being told this is a place not to be missed, i was very disappointed with the dry rolls for the sandwiches the and limited filling within cost me £32 for a prawn sandwich and a pulled pork sandwich 2 coffees and an orange juice. I won't be back in a hurry.

What can I say other than this place is a stunning coffee shop and so much more. We wanted a quick coffee but ended up having a meal. From chicken and bacon club, Fodder Board, sausage roll, bacon and sausage sandwiches to fruit scones the food was delicious, beautifully presented and so tasty. Staff were great and we even bought a huge slab of millionaire shortbread to take away. Would give this place 10 stars if I could. The kids rated this the best coffee shop we have ever been to, and we have been to a lot. #besttearooms

We had to queue but it was worth the wait. Truly super food, excellent, polite staff, happy friendly atmosphere a joy to eat here.

I'm a local business with over 80 staff who have all been purchasing sandwiches and cakes from here twice a week for a few years.

First visit and can’t wait to go back

This truly is a GEM , the kitchen is a beautiful tea room but with a difference,Amazing sandwiches and homemade cakes truly the best around the area by a long way , always excellent customer service,Would highly recommend the kitchen

So after reading all the reviews of the KITCHEN at both Howden and Snaith, we decided on the extra 10 minute drive to Snaith as we expected Howden would still be queuing at 1.30pmGot that right because we were seated immediately only to be told by a bubbly waitress,'We have no beef, salmon or prawns left for sandwiches' I will have soup then, said I, 'sorry its all gone' was the reply, oh how about a cream tea? 'well yes you can have that but without cream'So we both had a couple of scones butter and jam with a pot of tea and a few nibbles to keep us both going.So the moral of the story is get there before 2pm however, the offerings at the deli all looked fantastic and certainly emptied my wifes' purse.Yes there where many other items on the menu and probably very nice too if available!

Visited with wife for lunch prior to a walk along the river. Very busy and had to que for 15 minutes, for food and service of this quality would gladly que for an hour. Staff couldn't be more helpful and the variety of different flavours available was outstanding, all food was tasty fresh, of generous portion size and well presented. Am sure that if premises were larger they could easily fill them as some people saw the small que and weren't prepared to wait. The short wait wait was certainly worth it and we will be returning.

We've visited this delightful cafe/restaurant and deli many many times. It is a treasure trove of taste and a place we go to either eat or buy those special treats that keep us going.The cafe is always busy and you have to be prepared for a short wait for a seat but it's always worth it.The cakes are to die for and the bread is first class! Nothing that we buy to bring home is ever wasted!Our favourites are the Rocky Roads (truly scrumptious chocolate heaven) and Florentines (huge nutty delight). The staff are great too which is always a bonus.Parking can be busy at times but don't be put off, this is a special place!Tip: there is a slightly larger version of the same wonderful establishment at at Howden

Only been in to get things for a pack up. Lovely range of sandwiches, breads, cakes and other options. Don't go skimpy on the fillings either. Great tasting food.

Sandwiches are stunning gorgeous flavours and presented well. A great choice, rustic, homemade dishes. Cakes and pastries are delicious! Will be back.

Went for a sandwich on my way home had the Yorkshire blue, smoked bacon and onion marmalade was fantastic! Also had a chorizo scotch egg runny in the middle beautiful! Great variety and the cakes look fantastic maybe next time! Worth a visit and or a detour to pop in! Very friendly staff also!

Popped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, had to wait about 20 mins for a table, but not a problem because we were advised as such and it gave us a chance to look over all the yummy cakes and pastries! Menu choice is great, food is delicious - fresh, good size portions and great to see they use local produce.

we popped into the kitchen at Snaith after turning up at their sister place in Howden which had at least 20 people waiting for a table. We had to wait here for at least half hour as it is very popular. the food is first class along with the service. a hidden gold mine

Go here for special occasions birthdays, etc and have afternoon tea this is a brilliant experience the sandwiches , cakes and goodies on this are amazingly so fresh and tasty and filling too, there is unlimited tea with this option the tearoom has a very pleasant and friendly atmosphere love this place.

First time here recently having heard many good things from friends about it.Absolutely incredible - the sandwiches were absolutely ginormous and brilliantly presented - and I loved the little quirks like the little milk churns that came with the tea, Mason jars the drinks came in and the little plant pots the crisps came in. Pleasant staff and lovely bustling atmosphere.Most definitely the sort of place where you would like to sample everything. Although I didn't try any (I wish I had!!) the cake display looked like pure heaven!Would recommend 100%!

I've eaten here on many occasions. It's a lovely, small and very busy place! I went in today on my own and didn't feel "out of place" at all. Great service. I had the roast beef with blue cheese and onion chutney sandwich - it was ruddy gorgeous!! It's not cheap but the quality shines through so you don't feel like you're paying over the odds. My only criticism is:-Turn that God awful "vintage style" music down - it's TERRIBLE!!!

Just popped in for a bit of lunch, had an excellent roast beef sandwich which was very filling. A good cup of coffee and a large piece of cake to take away. Service was very good and will be going back soon

I absolutely love this place! Myself and my friends visit regularly and we've never found somewhere which has the same quality of delicious, fresh home cooked food. It's to die for! The staff are always very pleasant and friendly and it's always a treat seeing what delights have been baked when you walk in. You must visit here!

Recently visited The Kitchen with my boyfriend. It was absolutely lovely as always!! The waitress was very helpful and seated us at our table. The food is so lovely, ane the portion sizes are huge! I can't seem to leave without buying a few cakes to take home as they all look so delicious! I had the roasted ham, cream cheese and sun blush tomato chutney sandwich which was gorgeous. The prices are reasonable and there is plenty of choice. The only down side was having to wait quite a while for our order to be taken and for us to be seated at a table. On the other hand, it was very busy being a Saturday afternoon. It's my favourite Saturday treat and would recommend to anybody. Will be returning very soon!

After years of venturing to this cafe and enjoying the service and food I was thoroughly disappointed after my visit yesterday. The service from the girl who served was lovely. However, my boyfriend ordered the frittata salad only to discover, once they had brought us a different meal (my guess is in the hopes we didn't notice), that they didn't have the frittata in that day- the waitress telling us bluntly 'we don't even have frittata'. How were we meant to know?? Anyway having my meal in front of me going cold we waited while my boyfriend's second choice of food came- the fodder board. Now, the fodder board is wrongly advertised claiming you get a sandwich along with a 'pork pie' and a 'scotch egg' both just slivers (not even quarters)!! After all this no discount and only an apology from our original server were given. I will not be returning in a hurry, such a shame.

My wife and I had a cheeky lunch at the 'Kitchen Tea Room' in Snaith and it really was a treat. The sandwiches we had were super fresh and nicely proportioned, and the range of fresh baked cakes and desserts were to die for (we took a box load home, the Malteser Cheesecake I had was simply amazing). We had a cream tea which was nice but the one comment I have is that a cream tea MUST come with clotted cream, not whipped cream (possibly out of a can), as anything else is simply criminal. Cream-gate aside this fabulous tea room still gets an excellent rating from me.

The food was delicious apart from the unexpected discovery for a worm in my salad. We alert the waitress on the quiet so that over customers didn't hear. I was rather annoyed that we didn't receive a discount or the meal remade. I think it's a massive shame as I often us the kitchen in Howden too.

Why have I been wasting my time down the road at the Pepp Pig? This place is by far superior. I could barely drag myself away from the deli and cake counter. My chicken and bacon caesar salad bowl was delicious, I ate every morsel and wiped the plate clean with the delicious onion bread roll that I didn't intend to eat but couldn't resist once I'd tasted it. My only concern - how am I going to work my way through all the items on that menu?!

Extra special treats! A tad expensive but worth it for the tastes! Lovely breads, cakes and the best coleslaw ever!

I visited with my Sister who had sampled items from the takeaway menu prior. We received a lovely warm welcome and were both mesmorised with the choice. I chose the Special of Spiced Chicken, Chorizo, Spicey cheese and chilli jam toastie. It was wonderful and it was a meal in itself. I would not normally pay £8.50 for a toastie but this was no ordinary toastie and came with salad from the deli and coleslaw. My Sister's choice of Eggy Bread with Smoked Applewood Cheddar and bacon also went down well. Of course we had to take home some cakes as we were bursting at the seams. All the food looked top notch and the waitress and counter service excellent.

The food is gorgeous and the staff are helpful and generous. I will definitely be back again as I enjoyed the whole visit.

I have eaten here many times, both dinner and breakfast, and have ordered some take out snacks too. The quality is absolutely unrivalled and you really do get what you pay for portion size- great quality too! Sometimes you have to wait a while for a table, but it's most definitely worth the wait!

We have had several different things here but the Baked in the Box Cambembert, with Breads & Chutney for dipping is amazing.

Often pop in here to get lunch. The food is absolutely lovely, the variety of what you can eat makes a great change. Staff are busy yet helpful. If you can, make room for the cakes - or share!

Went to this restaurant for lunch. Beautiful food and value for money.i would recommend this tearoom.

I went to the kitchen for my birthday lunch and it was brilliant - and comes highly recommended. The food is absolutely incredible. We ordered the salmon and prawn sandwich and the beef sandwich, and for desert red velvet cake and a cheesecake. The portion sizes are larger than expected and filling and ever so tasty. I've seen comments where people believe it's overpriced but trust me it isn't, you pay for good quality food and service. The food is presented beautifully. My desert was very large and was boxed up so I could enjoy the rest of it that evening. The service is brilliant. The staff are friendly and communicate well. Although serving other customers the waitress we had was brilliant, very enthusiastic and always smiling and it's nice to see that as a customer. I can see it gets very busy but the customer service never faltered with us. I would say if you want a table - get there for approx 11.45am. We didn't book and were seated straight away luckily. We took home some sausage rolls and the homemade humous- delicious. I will definitely return and thankyou for fantastic service and wonderful food.

Had a lovely birthday breakfast sandwich this morning, I had bacon and tomato, my husband had bacon and black pudding sandwich. Plenty of tasty bacon on both sandwiches and they were really tasty . Bought some cakes on the way out too . Excellent place and good food x

We popped in at 1pm, and decided to explore the village as there was a long queue to be seated. Coming back 45 mins later we were seated immediately, but very glad we hadn't queued! The extensive and attractive looking menu is very poor for vegetarians - even the 3 or 4 items that might otherwise have been veggie had had chorizo, bacon or salami added! Yes, we could have ordered them "without", but why should we pay over the odds, and be made to feel like second-class citizens? Afraid we decided to look for lunch elsewhere. Definitely a case of "could (and should) do better!!

We visited & had a 10 minute wait for a table, but our waitress kept us up to date with how long we would be. She took our drinks order straight away & it arrived quickly. Even though we were told there was a wait for food, our order of sandwiches came quicker than we thought....& they were delicious. Packed full of filling & flavour with lovely bread. Every plate that came out the kitchen looked absolutely delicious. This cafe is smaller than its sister in howden, but had a more intimate, warm atmosphere. I will definitely be going back (& the cakes to take away were lovely....the Easter brownie=yummy yummy)

A spur of the moment decision to call in for a quick snack. Very pleasant premises and staff. Very nice tea and cake (frangipane and hot X bun) which we enjoyed. A nearby table was having the full afternoon tea which looked very impressive.

Call in here from time to time for a sandwich at lunch time. They have a fantastic range of sandwiches, pastries and cakes, all of which seem to be made with good quality ingredients. It isn't cheap, the cold drinks from the fridge are a rip off I think and at times if the shop is busy things get a bit rushed. Best to try just before the main lunch time rush. I called in a few months back with my other half and we ate in the restaurant part. The food was great, service not bad but the atmosphere that day was a little bizarre...all the other diners were whispering at it seemed a bit odd, however it didn't stop us enjoying the lovely food. By the way..... if you nip in for a sandwich, don't leave until you've bought a slice of their home made battenburg. It's amazing. Not cheap at £2.50 a slice but worth every penny.
