Small and cosy tea room where we enjoyed the most beautiful family afternoon tea. Just a lovely way to end our weeks stay in North Yorkshire. The bread for the sandwiches was so soft, tea was served with free top ups and scones freshly made from the oven and warm to eat. Cakes were beautiful too and there was more than enough for all 6 of us to enjoy. Ages ranged from 10-44yrs and enjoyed by all. If you like a bit of nostalgia and like afternoon tea, this is the place to go. We would highly recommend The Middleton Tea Rooms.

What a great find. This little tea parlour is absolutely perfect. We were greeted by a lovely, friendly lady. We had the afternoon tea. It was delicious, sandwiches all freshly made, scones warm from the oven, fresh fruit, yummy cakes. It was a feast that was so, so tasty. The tea and coffee were served in gorgeous floral tea and coffee pots and bone china teacups. A perfect end to our long weekend away. Thank you.

What a gem of a find. Step back in time folks. You will love the homemade cooking and delightful ambiance of this wee tea room at the back of the post office. The "medley" was amazing with the softest of bread and awesome pork pie... and much more.

We stopped off for a spot of lunch as we were staying locally. The whole team were so incredibly welcoming, we sat outside with the two dogs though they would have been welcome inside as well. We both had ploughman’s which is one of the best we’ve ever had. Fantastic selection of three cheeses, pork pie, chutney and many more. All home made and you could tell. We will be back for afternoon tea when next staying as they are all homemade as well. What a find.

We came as a family last Sunday and couldn’t believe how cute the little building was on the outside and transported you back in time when you stepped into the tea parlour. Our host was Stacey who was really friendly, funny and attentive. We decided to go get a selection of the classic afternoon tea and savoury afternoon tea- both were so tasty and made to order. The bread for the sandwiches was so soft, the fillings especially the egg mayonnaise was creamy and not eggy in the slightest. The cheese scones and pork pie were delightful too (Stacey told their secret to making the cheese scones so light and fluffy). The onion marmalade was so moorish we ended up buying a bottle to take home. The classic afternoon tea was also delicious with everything being well presented, sweet but not too sweet and plentiful (we took a doggy bag home). The presentation of our afternoon teas was lovely and we loved the china as it dates back from the early 1900s and some from the mid-late 1800s. I have to say that this is the best afternoon tea I’ve had in the U.K. and after travelling and living abroad. It is definitely worth booking going, you won’t regret it and I can’t wait to go back!

When we walked by this on our way into Pickering we could never imagined what a treasure we would find inside. It was great that we could take our well behaved dog in with us. The layout gave us plenty of room and the staff were so dog friendly. Now we have been to many “tea rooms” or “parlours” but never found a true parlour. This place was just that. We were sat in the old parlour of the house surrounded by history, well presented memorabilia and a beautiful warmth of what a parlour should have. The tea, the 1940’s antique tea sets and the incredible cakes were outstanding and massively exceeded our expectations. A truly joyful experience that created a forever memory for us. A huge thanks to everyone at the Middleton Post Office Tea Parlour.

We were staying nearby for a long weekend and booked a takeaway afternoon tea. When I went to collect, the team were so friendly and the setting had a wonderful charm. We ordered the gluten free afternoon tea (to my joy as this is rarely an option for me to have when out and about) and it was wonderful! Lovely sandwiches with a choice of fillings - which we chose when we ordered. The bread used was soft and didn't taste gluten free. We also has scones with jam and clotted cream and a selection of cakes and fruit. The whole experience, from ordering, to the service to the food was wonderful. We'll definitely return when we're next in the area.

Visited recently as staying in the area. My wife loves afternoon tea and so we thought we would give it a try. We were not disappointed. My wife had the traditional afternoon tea with sandwiches on fresh bread with 2 lovely scones, jam and clotted cream. Also a fruits cup of fresh fruit and some other cake. She loved it. I had the savoury medley. Probably the best pork pie I have ever tasted, ham sandwiches and a cheese scone with caramelised onion relish and cream cheese. Scone was hot, and again really nice. A fantastic afternoon tea, very quaint setting and friendly staff. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again if in the area. Food and drinks served in old fashioned china cups and plates which really set it off lovely.

Recently visited this place on a holiday in the area. We booked in advance as its not a large venue. We had assorted cakes with a couple of pots of tea. All cakes, scones etc were all excellent. As a baker myself I do like to try out tea rooms. This place was not disappointing, all thoroughly enjoyed the experience especially with the tablecloths crocheted. Lots of tea pots and china cups hung up and lots of quaint tea related memorabilia. Background music was wonderful, gently not rowdy ideal for a tea room.

With the weather less than clement (!) afternoon tea in the garden was not an option! However, the cosy little 'parlour' was a great venue for afternoon tea service. Everything was freshly prepared from the sandwiches to the scones and fancy cakes. Cornish or Devon scones?? Left to the consumer - that is, cream on first then jam, or vice versa! We chose tea (coffee was available) which came on a formal tray with a faux silver teapot, loose tea, tea strainer et al. Bone china plates cups and saucers - altogether delightful. A 'blast from the past' when 'afternoon tea' really WAS afternoon tea!

Booked our tea three weeks before our holiday in Yorkshire with Dini. We ordered an afternoon tea experience and a Middleton Savoury Medley to share. The savoury medley consisted of a pork pie, ham sandwich, tea loaf with Wensleydale cheese, cheese scone with cream cheese and onion marmalade and tea. The afternoon tea was ham, cucumber and egg sandwiches, one fruit and one plain scone with jam and clotted cream, Victoria sandwich, tea loaf with Wensleydale cheese, millionaires shortbread and a fruit cup with tea.It was a lovely experience with big band music in the background and quirky ornaments all around. Good value too so all in all a nice afternoon.I also hadn't realised it was actually a working post office too!

The tea room is lovely and quaint with a real "Palour" feel to it and excellent Covid measures in place to ensure customer safety. My wife and I both ordered the Middleton Savoury Medley!! What a feast...A lovely warm Pork Pie, a Ham Sandwich, Yorkshire Tea Loaf with Wensleydale cheese and a cheese scone with cream cheese and onion marmalade!! all with a big pot of tea for two. The service offered by the lovely Stacey was first class, friendly and efficient, and this is an establishment we will certainly visit again.

We pre-booked afternoon tea to save disappointment due to reduced seating in line with social distancing. On arrival we were seated at a suitably positioned table with a dividing screen to aid separation, the waitress took our order and we settled to take in the 1940's styling. Tea arrived in a China pot with nice period China tea cups and plates. We were served initially with a range of sandwiches, egg, ham and cucumber, neatly placed on a two tier plate stand. This was followed by a similar serving of mini-scones with clotted cream and jam, millionaires short-bread, a fruit cup, and mini Victoria sponges. Everything was very fresh and beautifully presented, plenty of pop-up hot water was available and a doggy-bag for anything that we couldn't manage to eat at the time.All in all it was a very nice experience at a very reasonable price.

My wife and I were traveling back from Whitby when we passed the tea room. We stopped and it was the best decision. We were greeted by a warm welcome and even though you cannot see people's faces because of wearing masks due to Covid you could tell that she had smile on her face. The food is either home made or sourced locally and is delicious. The previous week we had been to Betty's tea room in Harrogate and this was 100 percent better. It is the small details like sugar lumps with tongs.Remarkably it was not over expensive. I would highly recommend anybody to stop here for a cuppa and cake or anything else on the menu and see

Excellent value for money and if this tea room was in the centre of York it would give Betty stiff competition! Will definitely pay a return visit.

Had afternoon tea here today and could not fault it. We looked at the menu and as neither myself or husband liked some of the fillings we asked the girl serving us if we could have some different fillings and she was more than happy to oblige.First we got a plate with several sandwiches on and as an extra my husband ordered a pork pie too. After we had eaten the sandwiches a plate of cakes came out and the scones were still warm, all was delicious. I could not finish it all but the girl serving kindly wrapped up what was left for us to take away with us. The girl who served us was very friendly and chatty and we felt very much at home here. Beautiful food at a reasonable price what’s not to like? Would certainly come back again.

Had the afternoon tea at the old post office earlier today & have to agree with the 5 star rating. The sandwiches were lovely (but let's be honest it's not really about the sandwiches is it!), it was a really good cuppa & then the cakes - 2 scones with jam & cream, an individual Victoria sponge, a strawberry tart, a piece of Yorkshire tea loaf with Wensleydale cheese (this a bit different from the usual afternoon tea) and a piece of millionaires shortbread. All were dainty so we were able to eat everything, but didn't leave feeling over faced. All the cakes other than the millionaires shortbread are home baked in house. Lovely vintage tea set & all matching and we were told the name & age of it which was a nice touch. Service was excellent. Lastly dog friendly which was something I never thought I'd be grateful for but as a new dog owner I am! Really nice afternoon tea, thank you & I would definitely recommend.

Although we only live a short distance from the tea rooms, we have never visited. However, after our visit on Saturday, that will be changing. When you step inside you are transported back to the 1940s. We were met with a friendly welcome and felt comfortable straight away. Apart from the homemade soup and toasted sandwiches there was no hot food. Ploughmans, sandwiches and cake. I had sandwiches and cake and my wife the soup and sandwich. All was excellent and presented the old fashioned way. A pot of tea (leaves not bags) was presented in a China tea pot and China cops and sauces. I had not used a tea strainer in years. The quality of everything we had was excellent. Be warned though. It is only a small room so I think you can book ahead if you want to reserve a table. We have already booked the mothers day afternoon tea special. Looking forward to that.

The decor, dinging clock, immaculate tea set and crockery, and the wartime music made the experience like going back in time. Really fantastic! I would recommend this cosy little gem to anyone.

This is our second visit here for afternoon tea, we certainly were not disappointed ! We took our 4 year old granddaughter and her mum with us for a special treat. Abigail was absolutely delighted to see her ‘child size afternoon tea’ all set out beautifully on her own cake plate and serving trolley !

Whenever I'm in this part of England, I make a point of having tea in the Middleton Post Office Tea Room. I always order the Afternoon Tea Experience which consists of several dainty sandwiches with various fillings, scones with clotted cream and jam, a selection of pastries, and tea. The atmosphere is charmingly reminiscent of a bygone era. Service is friendly and efficient. Because the Middleton Post Office Tea Room is so popular, I would definitely recommend reserving a table during busy periods. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

A hidden gem of a tea room with excellent, friendly service. We will be returning for a cream tea when we are next in the area!

Just had afternoon tea here with husband and elders granddaughter. We do not like cucumber sandwiches but were offered an alternative. Lots of freshly prepared sandwiches, more than we could eat. Lots of lovely cakes and warm scones with jam and cream. All served on vintage China. So much tea we had to leave some. As we could not eat all the cakes the staff boxed the rest up to take home. A must if you are in the area.

The five stars are well deserved. We had a mix of food and everything was excellent. We visit regularly when in the Scarborough area, well worth a visit.

Lovely tea room, fantastic afternoon tea and very friendly staff so I'm very happy to give this 5 stars. We visited for my mums birthday on a cold and snowy afternoon. As I'd called ahead they kept open for us and we enjoyed a very memorable afternoon tea served on lovely old china. I've kept meaning to visit and will definitely be back soon. Thanks for making my mums birthday a very happy memory!

Visited here for an impromptu lunch after the staff had let us know who could open the church for us to look round.

If it’s quaint, quiet English tea and cake you want..... look no further , this place is a real gem. The ploughman’s lunch for the people with a good appetite or the toasted sandwiches for the smaller meal, we’ve been several times and always found the food to be “spot on”

Be aware there is no mobile phone signal.The Cross Keys is a small village pub which provides accommodation, with the pleasantly decorated rooms in a separate building. Fresh milk was provided on arrival for a much needed cup of tea. Food is served in the pub every night which is good news for those walking the Yorkshire Wolds Way.After a good night’s sleep and breakfast, I collected my pack-up lunch and left Thixendale having been made welcome by Steve and Mary throughout my stay. It was great value too.

From the warm welcome on entering, the excellence of the front of house and waiting staff to the amazing food. The smoked haddock and cheese souffle was sublime. The lamb dish was cooked to perfection. I look forward to my next visit.

A canine cuddle cafe is the sort of place one would expect to find in the trendier parts of London which is why it was such a surprise to come across this little gem in Malton. That said, Malton has been awarded the title 'dog friendliest town in the UK.' We just love this cafe where several different breeds of happy dogs (which all belong to the cafe owner) are available for endless cuddles. The cuddles are accompanied by a variety of teas, coffees and home baking. Thalia, the owner, informed us that the venue and a selection of doggies can be hired for children's parties. Apparently an alcohol licence can be obtained for grown up parties. A visit to Malton would not be complete without a visit to Mixmups. We highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

As part of that 'tasting menu' trend, if that's what you're after, you won't be disappointed. A lovely dining room, with semi-open kitchen and very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Crockery and artwork come from local creators, and adds to that 'local food producer' ethos. A destination eatery for grownups!
