Having previously had a good experience, my 90 year old mum and I went for lunch. We ordered prawn salads with falafel and humus from the menu. The last two items were missing on our plates, but when queried we were told that nobody ordered those so they didn't have any! We asked for an alternative and were given half a slice of bread each! I then found a hair in my salad, but when I reported this, I was told that the kitchen staff had dark hair so it wasn't theirs! I was too stunned to reply! Then I was told we couldn't expect a refund, because the hair wasn't theirs. I explained we didn't want a refund, just an apology. Never again!

Very disappointed after waiting nearly an hour for a cheese scone I ordered that didn't appear, I ordered this as I was in a hurry. Its annoying when someone after you orders a jacket potato then receives their order before you!!! I won't be coming back!!

Popped for a quick lunch when out shopping with Mum. A little busy, but got lucky with a table just leaving as we arrived. Quick drinks and a little wait for the food. But when you know it’s fresh and independent you don’t mind waiting. It was well worth the wait. Good portions, hot and full of flavour. Emma (the name on the receipt) was spot on, attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back

My friend and I randomly selected the Lavender Tearooms to meet up. What a super surprise! The atmosphere was very welcoming. We spent several hours there, working out way through coffee, homemade soup (delicious) and then onto the strawberry cream gateau (best I've ever tasted). When we meet up again in January, that's where it will be! Thank you for your welcome!

My husband and I are on holiday on Hayling Island . We enjoy cycling and of course that involves tea and cake on a regular basis . Today we stopped at the Lavendar Tea Rooms and my husband had the homemade Cheesecake and I had the Cream Tea . We just felt for the first time ever we needed to go on Trip Advisor to tell others of the AMAZING cakes on sale . I can assure you we are cake (especially Cheesecake ) connoisseurs and these were the very best we’ve ever tasted . Well done Lavendar Tea Rooms .

Amazing food and value for money. Had the high tea, sandwiches fresh with a generous filling. All the cake was amazing but especially the lemon cake that I picked. One of the best lemon cakes I’ve had, so lemony and meringue on top was amazing. Highly recommend :)

I had a bad experience here .I asked for Coronation Chicken sandwich. IT WAS REALLY HORRIBLE It was chicken pieces with fried wet onions and brown I ask the staff to speak with the chef but was not there ,this clearly comes from ready made in advance so the staff can make up the sandwich. I explained to the staff that this is NOT coronation chicken and that it is yellow with sultanas and a slight curry taste . I went in to the shop again the next day to see the chef SHE WOULD NOT COME OUT to explain that you cannot pass this yukki chicken with fried onions as Coronation Chicken SHE SAID THEY ARE TRYING THEIR OWN experiment on this recipe. I said they are misleading the customers in ordering this and not explaining to customers before hand IT IS NOT REAL CORONATION CHICKEN ,IT IS ABSOLUTELY GROSS I only wish i could put a photo available but was not on my computer only ny phone on this blog SO PLEASE BE AWARE . The bowl off crisp and side salad okay would off eaten the bread but was to wet

My boyfriend and I ordered the high tea for takeaway for lunch as a treat. All very fresh + really tasty. Good value for money! Had delicious sandwiches, pavlova, cupcakes and we got some extra “monster” biscoff milkshakes on the side… not for the weak-hearted! Best milkshakes we’ve ever had 🍫

Visited with 4 other ladies. Food was nice however few niggles that when you are trying to catch up you don’t want to have to keep doing. Waitress came back twice to check what I ordered, I was missed with the knife & folk being put out and could not locate staff member so had to leave salad. When leaving I bought a cupcake and slice of cake both ended up in the bin. I decided to inform the tea rooms and their response was defensive , rude and unhelpful . I was quite shocked as not come across such bad customer service in a very long time. Would not visit again. Also very small no windows we had to request door to be opened to keep some air flowing.

My two lovely friends treated me to an afternoon tea from the lavender tea rooms and it was absolutely incredible! Delicious sandwiches on the nicest bread I’ve eaten in a long time. The cakes and scones were so so scrummy. Everything was really good quality and there was plenty for us all to enjoy. All presented in lovely packaging. I have been looking for a decent afternoon tea for ages, especially one that does takeaway, so I’m so glad to have discovered lavender tea rooms.

I tried to book a high tea for my mother, wife and myself before the lockdown happened but our plans were obviously put on hold. We re-booked without looking at the website so were so pleasantly surprised when we walked into the newly refurbished tea rooms. It has been completely transformed! It used to be a quaint tea rooms that presumably survived due to it's customer service and great food. It now has both of those but with a swanky new look. I couldn't fault anything, the food was great, the service was excellent, the safety measures for Covid were strictly adhered to. For anyone looking for a brilliant little cafe with great food and friendly surroundings you really need to give this place a visit. We will definitely be back.

We came for my birthday on 19th August and it was a lovely experience the food was great and fresh nice and hot, I had read they did pancakes and that is what my son wanted when we got there they weren’t currently on the menu but the lady who I think is owner made some especially for him!! She didn’t have to that and we really appreciated such great customer service and he thought they were the best pancakes ever! I have been for afternoon tea a few times but never for breakfast but we will be back soon. It is very covid secure and spacious thank you

Have been visiting this establishment regularly for five or six years. I had a celebration here for my 70th birthday and had it not been for lockdown would have had one for my 75th. The standard of the food and service is just as high after lockdown as it was before. I love the refurbished surroundings and was very impressed with the way it was made safe and sanitised after a number of customers had left.

Visited the establishment last week, wasn’t impressed. Had an issue with a hair in my food, really not happy especially due to the Covid pandemic. When I asked to speak to the manager, he appeared after half an hour of waiting (not good enough once again) and gave me a loud of mouth. Told if I didn’t like it to get out of his tea room and to not come back. His name was James if I can recall rightly. Wouldn’t visit again, terrible hospitality and evidently shocking hygiene. A health and safety representative should visit ASAP!!!

I brought my step mum & myself a voucher here for high tea as a Christmas present. We had a lovely afternoon, my only grumble was we did wait a while for the high tea to come out but it was definitely worth the wait, the sandwiches were lovely fresh bread. Piping hot tea & beautiful cakes. So filling I had to take my Victoria sponge home. Will definitely be returning in the near future.Thank you Lavender Tea Rooms for a lovely visit. :)

This is a little cafe in Havant. The menu is quite good and the food was nice. For us it was a disapointing visit though. It's called Lavender Tea Rooms and prides itself on it's tea. We love tea and went there for lunch. The tea was barely warm and on asking the waitress to make a new one for us we were told it wasn't very hot as they were cleaning the Urn through so was using the coffee maker to make tea. It made no sense that they would clean the Urn during business hours but also she said they don't have a Kettle, which just seems bizarre. Sadly this means we won't be going there again.On the plus side the waitress was friendly and the food was good.The tea is what has let it down and when you call yourself a Tea Room it's kinda important you make good tea....

Came to have lunch today. Every time I've been here there out of something (see my last review) today the same. They are right in the town centre. This was a Saturday. Why would you be out of anything, wouldn't you just replenish it from a local shop???? Its so weird. We were the only people in there. Had some jackets. Nice enough. Waitress friendly

I have been here on 3 occassions and on every occasion there has been no sliced cake. On a previous visit there was no bread left so we were only offered a jacket potatoe. With Waitrose only being next door I suggested they get some bread, the waitress said no because they like to buy it from a bakery!! So they would rather have none.On my last visit I said to the waitress this is the third time you only have cupcakes, where is your sliced cake? She said we do not tend to get it anymore as business is slow and we end up throwing lots away at the end of the week. So we just dont get it. I said this is a tea rooms, people expect cake, she said yes but we can only take so much home at the end of the week. I could not beieve this excuse. I said you have to offer the products to customers in order to make sales, it sounds like its all about the owners and staff not the customer. I said you ran out of bread last time. She said well if you come after 2 we do tend to run out of things and we are generally short staffed. It sounds like they give up before they try! Is it even worth opening the door!

Had a cream teas as a birthday treat for a family member. Just pretty average. Sandwiches were okay, scone was tasteless and for a cake you could only have a cup cake. I don't want a cup cake....I want a choice of traditional cakes like victorian sponge.Just can't help feeling that corners are being cut to make more money and it shows. I've been here for a few years and it just gets more disappointing with each visit.At £12.95 per serving I had a bill of £50 plus.....and it just wasn't that good.That said.....staff were great.I don't think I would go back i'm afraid.Just came away feeling a bit let down and flat.

We ordered two coffees. One Americano and one Flat White. We did not hear or see the espresso machine in action. The flat White was basically a regular coffee with milk. WEe complained and exchanged it for a Cappuccino. This came as a cup full of coffee with a thin layer of foam. A Cappuccino is an espresso with foamed coffee not a regular one. It was so hot I burned my tongue sipping it several minutes after it was delivered. 24 hours later my tongue is still sore. I really do not think they knew how to make specialist coffees and they didn't appear to you the espresso machine except to produce steam. We left the coffees.

I had read lots of good reviews on Trip advisor ao had high hopes. A friend said she would meet me near my home and Havant isnt too far from home so i took this opportunity to visit. It looked bigger from the pictures. It was busy for lunch on a weekday. Because it was busy it was actually quite noisy and my friend was getting quite a draught every time the door opened. It is a nice cafe however i felt the menu was quite limited, i was expecting a variety of cakes on offer. I also thought it was a tad expensive however the jacket potatoes we both had were nice and lots of filling which is always a plus. Downside slightly that it was cash only which meant i had to cobble some cash together. Will visit again but not with more than one other friend.

Visited with a bridal party, first impressions very positive, friendly waitress, ordered afternoon tea (had pre-booked) had one vegetarian lactose free so couldn't have the high tea and ordered panini which was very good. Sandwiches on afternoon tea let it down, we asked for a selection (excluded coronation chicken). Mostly Brie and cranberry, tuna and cucumber without anything else and a few chicken and sweet corn. Would have preferred ham, egg or cheese. After complaining were brought sandwiches of cheese and cucumber and some egg, second lady very argumentative with us saying we should have ordered our preferences in advance. Didn't get an apology, very rude with an attitude. It's a shame as scones and clotted cream were really lovely as were cupcakes and meringues. The brown bread was a bit dry on the sandwiches. You can on,y pay by cash as they don't take cards, can't see how the business can grow going forward. My advice is be nice to customers, listen to them, make the ordering clear at the beginning maybe limit your choices of sandwiches.

Some nice savoury food. There wasn’t a huge choice of sweet food. I enjoyed what I had but thought it was a bit pricy for what we had. Absolutely nothing wrong with this place but I’ve had better.

This is a lovely tea room. We were visiting the area and came across this café by accident but were very pleased with the discovery. There was a good range of tasty refreshments on offer and there was real tea served in china cups. We very much enjoyed our meal and would recommend this café to others. The service was polite, friendly, helpful and smiley.

If you're looking for either a breakfast or lunch in downtown Havant look no further than this superb place! Their breakfasts are amazing and the lunches are exceptional. All home cooked. The owner is a delight and the atmosphere is friendly and warm. Try their high teas!!

We returned to Lavender Tea Rooms having visited for the first time a few weeks ago. We weren't disappointed. Our breakfast order was taken promptly and our food arrived quickly. As previously we found it to be piping hot, of good quality and delicious. Nice little place, friendly staff and convenient location.

Lovely setting, not very accessible for my disabled father; however when we turn up without booking they've always been able to accommodate us and helped us move chairs to fit him in. Lovely food, lovely tea, lovely staff :)

It was a wonderful experience. The service and afternoon tea was outstanding. The decor varied and lovely, each table having its own style. Highly recommended.

A great little spot for a very good cup of coffee and a snack. Has a little group of picnic tables. The price for the coffee is reasonable.

Chose this eatery as it looked nice from the outside. Opted for the liver and bacon on mash potato, ample portion and cooked to perfection, very tasty, washed down with a cup of tea. Dessert was sponge and custard, lovely and more than ample custard. So impressed I took away a large piece of their quiche and a couple of cheese scones for later, also good. Great staff/service at this venue and will definitely return to try the breakfast .

Lovely service with a smile. Good coffee. I also bought some homemade cake for £1 and the money from that goes to charity. Will be back again!
