No. 10 Tea Gardens Limited in Wiltshire

Best bacon and egg roll I’ve had in a long time. They also really know how to make an excellent pot of tea! Staff were also very friendly and efficient.

Gorgeous little coffee shop with the most amazing cake selection as well as breakfast items/sandwiches/savoury pastries. The cakes & coffees were delicious and enjoyed whilst sat in the sunny gardens. It is a popular spot and there was a queue for a short time but inside the service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended 😊

Too busy crowds only one toilet and at least 10 people queing up for the loo. Bad atmosphere. Incredibly overpriced. Scones are stale. A lemonade was 4.50.

I went here last month with my partner thinking it would be just an average British cafe. Fortunately, we stumbled across a gem. All the staff there are lovely, polite and work extremely well as a team. I felt very welcome especially considering my situation. The food and drink was delicious. I had the salad of the week and my partner had one of the sourdough toasties. No regrets there. Furthermore, the cafe, tables, plates etc were clean and well kept. Thank you for the lovely experience, we will definitely be here again.

Number 10 Tea Gardens is an absolute delight and a must-visit for anyone in the area. Tucked away in the charming village of Avoncliff, this little tea garden offers a perfect escape with stunning views of the canal and lush greenery. The atmosphere is serene and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea or coffee. The selection of teas is impressive, with each one brewed to perfection. The homemade cakes and scones are to die for—light, fluffy, and full of flavor. You can tell that everything is made with love and attention to detail. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready with a smile and great recommendations. Whether you're stopping by after a walk along the canal or just looking for a peaceful place to relax, Number 10 Tea Gardens will not disappoint. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys good food, great views, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!

We stopped for food during a canal walk. We chose a toasted wrap and a toasted panini and had half each of both. The fillings were generous and served with couscous salad, coleslaw and leaves. Absolutely delicious and plentiful. The array of cakes gave a very attractive display so we chose a large slice of avocado and lemon which was boxed up for us to enjoy later. The dog enjoyed her ice cream and the staff made a fuss of her. Excellent.

Visited after a wonderful bike ride, tried the pub without realising it was cash only, so went over to the cafe! It was about 2.30pm, so choices were minimal. I had 2 sandwiches and 2 cold drinks £18!!!!! I really wish I had taken my sandwich back after the first bite, but didn’t, it was dry and chewy!! I then had terrible stomach ache for the rest of the day! It really was a disappointing end to a wonderful day.

Cyclists, walkers and boaters are spoilt for choice at the picturesque Avoncliff aquaduct, where the canal and the river meet. The Cross Guns pub directly across the canal from No.10 certainly has the history and the riverside location, but unless you just want a cold beer or whatever, I would not recommend this pub for food. I would however recommend No. 10 for all its food, but mostly its superb cakes. It has a huge selection that offers the traditional (Victoria sponge) and the slightly out-there (avocado cake - delish by the way). I had the ginger cake and a pot of Earl Grey coming back from a cycle the other day. I almost cried as it was just like my mum used to make it. The sandwiches are also extremely nice, interesting and generous. It's not cheap - where is these days? - but No. 10 is well worth a pitstop. In fact I'm not the only Bradfordian I know who walks or cycles down to Avoncliff specifically for the cakes! A real addition to our local food scene for locals and visitors alike.

Lovely little place alongside the canal, perfect to stop for a cuppa. Only open 4 days a week however has the most scrumptious display of cakes to choose from. Well worth a visit. The only downside though is the amount of wasps in the garden which is an absolute nightmare when having a cream tea as they descend and it’s impossible to leave the open pot of jam out. They really need to put out wasp traps to try and help with us as I would but recommend getting a cream tea for this reason. It is all outside seating too.

Had a couple of lovely simple lunches at No 10 Tea Garden during a recent holiday in the area. Pleasant walks along the canal and handy pit stop at No 10. The selection of cakes and homemade style sandwiches etc was impressive. We had a number different items and all were really tasty and good value. Coffee is pretty decent also. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Stopped here on a bicycle ride along the canal path. Great location. Really friendly and helpful staff. Just stopped for a cup of coffee but ended up having home made sausage rolls for lunch and homemade cake. Huge portions, exquisite tasting and great coffee and after a 10 mile bike ride no guilt!!

We stopped in both ways on our canal walk. The raspberry, blueberry and lime drizzle cake is very good - very nice coffee too. A little pricey but the portions are very generous. We'll definitely be popping in again 😊

We pop in here regularly while walking the dog and since they've expanded the breakfast menu it's a delight to stop and stuff our faces mid walk. Previously they did cooked sandwiches but could tailor it a bit if you say wanted scrambled eggs but now you can order a posh brekkie with avocado, poached eggs and awesome bacon. One of the biggest problems we find is that it is impossible to get poached eggs cooked with a beautifully runny yolk in most places. Katie managed to deliver 2 beautifully soft poached eggs despite being under a lot of pressure with a lot of breakfast orders. James gets very sad, understandably, when a poached egg comes out hard so 10/10 for that lush breakfast. MIssing my carrrot cake this week, not enough space for it among the dozen other hand made cakes, all made from scratch on the premesis by Sarah, so real effort has gone into those they aren't bought in. Knowing how much time and effort goes into each cake and getting a decent sized slice I never whinge about the price any more, it's worth it. It's odd how some people will complain about paying £3.50 or £4 for a beautifully crafted, hand made slice of cake but will then happily pay £8 for a dollop of ice cream and a defrosted desert in a restaurant. Honestly, the cake is enough to go for on it's own but breakfast too. I shared the brownie I had as I did not have enough space left after breakfast for that too. Can't recommend it hhighly enough.

No 10 tea gardens is a family favourite of ours. The food is always incredible and the service top notch. We enjoy tea-stops, cake refuels and delicious lunches. Kid & dog friendly! A brilliant addition to a beautiful canal path walk.

We enjoyed tea and cake in the garden of this lovely little cafe set beside the aqueduct. There were three vegan sweet choices - biscoff cake, banana and walnut loaf and a fruit flapjack- as well as a vegan sausage roll and bother options for hot food on the menu board. We wished we hadn’t wasted our time in Bradford on Avon on a dreadful vegan breakfast and had one here instead. The staff were really friendly, the banana and walnut was delicious.

We all had breakfast, Tasted very good, a mix of sandwiches and scones. Nice atmosphere and view. Friendly staff. Nice clean toilet

The negative reviews on here are very unjust. Don’t listen to them. Not sure what people expect. It’s an oasis after/during a long walk and just a really nice place to come for some food or refreshment. Perhaps a little on the pricey side (but not really though) but if you know that the place is only open on a limited basis then it makes sense. And the quality is there. The food is freshly cooked in front of you and is fantastic. Never had a problem with service here, in fact quite the opposite. A lovely go to from Bradford on Avon, whether you are a local or a visitor. Can’t fault it, just wish it was open more.

This place has great potential set in a gorgeous position by the canal and River Avon. We’ve visited twice recently - both times it’s been let down by it’s manager/owner, although the young staff are very willing and helpful. Gave them the benefit of the doubt after the first visit - we all have bad days, but honestly, don’t be in the hospitality business if you don’t want to be nice to people! Very inflexible when I asked if it was possible to have a child’s portion of cake for my grandchildren - the answer was a categoric no! The portions are too large for children and cost £3.50 a slice! My cake was ok but my husband’s g/f polenta was a bit dry. Coffee was good but the price for a can of drink was extortionate!! We’ll head to the pub opposite next time!

Stopped whilst cycling along the canal. Intended to stop at Bradford but the Tea Garden was bathed in sun and looked very inviting. Excellent selection of both sweet and savoury food. Great cup of coffee.

Great place to stop after walk along the canal , delicious cakes and wide range of savoury food. Lovely setting , very clean , and happy polite staff

THE best lemon cake and granola slice ever! I’m not kidding…. And the lovely girl who served us was generous with portion sizes too!! 😉. Highly recommend this place. Lovely ambiance too, on a gorgeous summer’s Sunday morning like rush.

Pleasant place to sit and drink tea, coffee, cake etc. Staff polite and friendly although slow. £2.20 for a can of coke (without a glass)!! It’s pricey!

Se in a lovely position by the River Avon. Be warned - a take away dry uninspiring ham sandwich will cost you £4.90 - a bit expensive. Shouldn't the ingredients be shown on the packaging of the food?

I very rarely write a bad review, but given that the cafe had closed at least 90 mins earlier than its scheduled closing time I feel I have no choice! I have no idea why you would close a cafe early, given that they only...

We called here for brunch before heading home after a week in south west. Best brunch we had all 10 days. Beautifully presented, very tasty and excellent value. Took a couple of scones away for our journey and they were so light. Staff lovely. 👍👍👍👍

We visit most weekends, and we are never disappointed. Amazing cakes, and a great variety of choices.

We hadn't been to this neck of the woods for a while and, having walked from Freshford, were pleasantly surprised to discover this cafe, having thought there was only the inn at Avoncliff. There was a good selection of cakes and savoury items and the...

We had been for a dog walk along the canal from Bradford On Avon towards Bath. On the way back we stopped here for some lunch. There was lots of choice- sandwiches, cakes, sausage rolls etc. we both had a sandwich and a scone with...

We live up the hill from No10, and seem to find ourselves there most weekends! Our children are obsessed with the cake and icecream selection (and my husband is very partial to the home cooked sausage rolls!). Well worth a visit, and a beautiful walk...

Great independent cafe/cake pit stop just off the canal and river in Avoncliff. It's easily my favourite place to walk from Bradford-on-Avon. LArgentina sunshine garden. All cakes are made by the team there and they make big effort source everything local. Their takeaway material is...

Pretty sure they have no dairy free/soya free food options but as they had no idea what ingredients were in their food, I couldn’t say for certain.

A bit late to the party, probably as we are often away at weekends but having discovered no.10 and its outstanding cakes on maternity leave, it's now my top destination for a treat on the Avoncliff loop. Sarah and her team are always friendly and...

Lovely setting, good quick service. The amount of cream you get is amazing, and the scones weren't bad either

We live locally and used to visit No 10 quite frequently and we always had a good sandwich or soup and tea for a reasonable price. Today we visited and were very surprised at the hike in prices. It’s a real shame as it is...

A bit strange to be writing a review of a cafe where we didn't stay, but bear with me...I think this still tells people about the place. We looked in on this charming tea room. From the outside on a nice day it looks idyllic;...

I called in on Easter Monday after an really good weekend weather-wise for most people - when was the last time any one remembers a complete bank holiday weekend with wall to wall sunshine and a lot of people out relaxing and in fairly good frames of mine!! Just what the country needs at the moment

A group of friends and I descended on Avoncliff recently and were really surprised at the warm welcome we received by the owners of No.10 - nothing was too much trouble, the place was spotless and everything cleared away efficiently. We had a wonderful time.

Overly little garden tea/coffee room - really nice, fresh coffee. Plenty if good looking locally sourced cskes/buns/ breakfast etc on offer - had the chicken and mushroom sausage roll which was excellent.

We have visited a few times in the last year, from a dog walk along the canal from BoA as well as when we are doing activities like cycling and paddleboarding. Beautiful tea gardens and cakes to die for - my favourite is pistachio and lemon! Great coffee, friendly team, highly recommend as a destination in its own right for an afternoon out from Bradford-on-Avon or Bath.

Staff very pleasant and helpful. Location spot on. Food excellent. Good value - generous cake portions and generous latte. Will return! Thank you!

Perfect pit stop on the canal. Delicious selection of homemade cakes and equally tasty sandwiches freshly made and available to eat in (out!) or take away. Lovely garden to sit in on a sunny day- note there is no indoor seating so if it’s not sunny be sure to take a coat! The cafe is only open Fri-Sun and not all year round so check on their website to avoid disappointment!

I love this cafe and have used it on many occasions when cycling the tow path but obviously never on a Wed as it was closed and reading the sign only opens Fri Sat & Sun even in the summer holidays which is a real shame because even as I read their opening times 3 other parties of folks commented about it being closed and cycled & walked on.

On a warm sunny afternoon a nice place for a cuppa and cake after a good cycle ride along the Kennet and Avon canel.

We are lucky to live not to far fro this place and its always on the route in or out when walking the dog, food is home made and coffee is good.

We had a lovely afternoon here last Saturday, the food was delicious and very good value for money too. Would highly recommend the tuna & cucumber sandwich and the scone with jam & clotted cream. We will definitely be returning.

After a walk from Bradford on Avon this is a little gem for a break. Fresh sandwiches, fine choice of teas and other drinks all with a smile and a chat.

My wife and I happened to be passing through Avoncliff on a walk and found this wonderful oasis of delight in deepest Wiltshire. The choice of cakes and goodies is endless and makes it difficult to make a choice. We ordered Two cream teas which was served to us in the imaculate gardens,the scones were the best we have ever had served with golden clotted cream and fruit filled jam,the tea was brewed from English grown leaves. We would like to thank Sara and her tea for a happy,polite and professional experience. Our Two dogs were made welcome and made friends with Bella the house dog.Well done we will be repeating that walk!

After a long walk along the tow path we found this tea room next to the aqueduct. It was great. Friendly service, good drinks and a good selection of food.

Absolutely Baffled why there are some 4 star reviews and some even less! I have visited the tea rooms on multiple occasions now and have every intention of returning soon and frequently!

The location cant be faulted right next to the kennet and avon canal, river avon and avoncliff aquaduct. This is a beautiful little tea rooms with a huge garden to sit in. Lovely friendly service, good quality teas and coffees. Huge sandwiches and home made cakes. What more could you want.

Can't fault the location. Staff seemed pleasant enough, hence the two stars. However;

I had just had a nasty fall and the young lady who owns the tearoom was extremely understanding and helpful. She brought out her First Aid Box and helped me bandage my leg. My husband and I then enjoyed a welcome tea and delicious lemon drizzle cake. As I could not manage to walk back 1 hour to our car, she then offered to drive us back to where we had parked in Bradford on Avon. I am very grateful to her and wish hereby to thank her for everything. I warmly recommend this place with its lovely garden, delicious food and delightful owner.

Best ever coronation chicken sandwiches! Lovely & friendly staff! Location great and nice garden . Regular stop now!

I called in on Sunday after the 2nd lot of snow and was greeted with great service and because it was quiet I was able to sit inside and enjoy the nice fruit scone, with jam & cream and a pot of tea - other people came in and out whilst I was there

A welcome stopping point for a drink whilst out for Sunday walk. Buddy loved his 'Puppychino' and we enjoyed our hot chocolates and cappuccinos.

Stopped for a cup of tea and snack to escape a rain shower. Amazing flapjack. Really nice staff and posh dog treats!!

lovely location, tea, cake, ice cream, happy staff, cant fault it, try it, we did, hence the rating!

Lovely setting overlooking the aqueduct: nice stroll along canal path on way out of Bradford on Avon: good coffee: rest...

Lovely coffee and delicious goodies. Though disappointed for our friend that they were out of gf treats. When you're far...

Una parada encantadora en el canal con una buena selección de sandwiches y helados. Estar fuera es una experiencia muy agradable y permite disfrutar de un almuerzo tranquilo, etc. El té de la tarde

Después de visitar un pub cerca, decidimos entrar número 10 no demasiado para un helado, como una especie de desierto. Un establecimiento super amable, increíblemente limpio con dos agradables señoritas en asistencia, mejor para el té de la tarde y su nombre lo dice todo,...

Visitamos Bradford on Avon el 13 de mayo, un hermoso día soleado. Decidimos tomar un paseo a lo largo del oeste y el Canal de Kennet Avoncliffe Avon el acueducto, una distancia de aproximadamente una milla. Al llegar a el acueducto nos dimos cuenta, en el otro lado de la canal, una señal para No 10 Tearoom y casi listo para una taza de café caminamos bajo el acueducto y por las empinadas escaleras de la cafetería. Elegimos sentarnos fuera, en el precioso jardín donde encontramos resistente limpia bancos de picnic. Hay un montón de refrescos tearoom en oferta, elegimos casero scones de queso con mantequilla… grandes y deliciosos, regados con un café americano y una taza de té para uno. . Este fue un hallazgo inesperado y lo recomendamos a todos.

Llamamos en la mañana hasta tarde, justo a tiempo para pedir un bocadillo de tocino. Es el mejor! Delicioso tocino pan maravilloso. dentro Él mismo pidió té inglés crecido y tuve un café polvo ape.

This lovely location by the aqueduct made a pleasant end to a long day walking and a welcome cream tea, and it is a glorious location with seating mainly outside

Watch the narrowboats chug by as they come to a tight corner coming off the aqueduct. Good choice of cakes - scones, carrot cake, Victoria sponge, brownies etc and big portions, too. Plenty of tables outside in the garden. Friendly staff. Nice, if short, walk to it along the canal from the town centre, back by the river, or there's a little train station on the other side of the aqueduct (Avoncliff).

After a bit of a walk along the canal to Avoncliff, we were pleased to find this little gem of a coffee shop. We stopped for a drink and cookie before the trip back. The edibles were tasty and the staff friendly. We wanted a quicker route home than we had come and they were kind enough to show us a steep but effective shortcut through a nearby field.

We came upon this brilliantly situated teahouse on our on ourwalk towards Bradford on Avon along the Avon and Kennet Canal. The day was sunny with a brisk wind which meant that it wasn't very hot but the gardens are immaculate and it's a very dog friendly children friendly establishment.the main person who served us was tightlipped and joyless. I saw her smile once but she seemed to be doing the job under duress or at least not enjoying it at all and she was clearly not interested. If you serve food you should be happy to serve your public.I asked for quiche; but unfortunately it was cold so they left it in the warmer for 10 min but when it arrived it was still cold but never mind it was good to eat though slightly glutinous.I went back and had an excellent latte, with some drizzle cake with cherries.To be fair, the male manager made efforts to smile but I found the whole thing a little bit of a struggle and I do wish people would understand that atmospheres of stress do communicate to the customer. Isn't it worth sitting down behind the scenes and sorting any problem out.After hundreds of reviews I do recognise unhappiness when I see it and I would like to see more spirit of service in this lovely lovely place.25th of March 2017

We received a lovely welcome here today and enjoyed a very nice lunch. Plenty of choices at reasonable prices and a fabulous selection of cakes. The surroundings are bright and spotlessly clean with fresh flowers on the windowsills adding a nice extra touch. We will certainly return to try the cakes and hopefully the weather will allow us to sit in the garden next time.

It seems every time we go it has changed hands/name. The original place with the rabbits still the best. For a cup of tea in a garden half way on a walk it is ok.

... Bath!This little beauty is only open Fri- Sun (+ Bank Hols). It has a reasonable range of good quality food and coffee! (+ ice cream!)Portions are good too, so a scone is good to share. On this occasion I had a Carrot Cake instead.If you time a visit right you might have a nice walk to Bradford on Avon along the canal and visit the floating market.Also for the less mobile there is a train station and a narrow and steep road down.Enjoy your visit, we did!

Popped in for a quick coffe, a real nice place vid good served cakes. Beautiful landscapes to go whit that. Wherth a visit.

Great place to stop for a cup of tea and slice of homemade cake or scone. Perfect spot with lovely views. Dog bowls provided and handy rings at the end of each table to secure your dog. We will definitely visit again.

Such potential but only the scones were gluten free, no cakes or sandwiches or quiche alternatives. no almond milk alternative for hot chocolate, no milkshakes. Pretty location but staff come across as disinterested.

This place has ruined cream teas for me - I can't find scones as good as they are at No.10 anywhere! Great selection of yummy cakes, a good cup of tea and lovely staff. The tea rooms are in a beautiful location and perfect for a pit stop when out walking the dog. Love coming here!

No. 10 is a beautiful little tea room with a large garden area, and a perfect place to sit and watch the canal boats amble across the aqueduct. I had a cup of their locally ground coffee and one of the best scones I've ever eaten - will definitely be back!

This place is lovely, such a lovely garden area, with benches, reasonable prices.Lovely home made cake and scones. I had a scone with cream and jam it was lovely.

No. 10 is in a great location, on the route of many of the excellent walks that follow the river or the canal out of Bradford On Avon. We arrived on a lovely, sunny lunchtime, but it was reasonably quiet and we easily found seats in the garden, which provided good views over the river valley and the Avoncliff Aqueduct.Allowing for the fact that the café’s trade must be very seasonal, so stock planning must be difficult, we found the range of drinks and sandwiches on offer, and their prices, to be acceptable. The only slightly jarring note was that the young lady who was staffing plainly didn’t really want to be there. However, her dog, which was loose in the garden, really did - it was clearly used to having customers who wanted to play with it. It was a nice dog, just a little pushy.Overall, if you plan any walks, or you’re on a boat, near Avoncliff, a stop-off here is worth including in your plans.

Disappointing coffee. Anaemic and flavourless. The staff kindly provided a second cup but unfortunately it was the same. I think they may need to look at the beans used.Pleasant location and staff which made it all the more disappointing.

Having visited many times, I remain dissatisfied with this cafe. In a beautiful location and lovely little building with great potential, the staff and resources really let it down. The fridge where sandwiches, etc. should be is often off and nearly always empty. One day, I arrived at half past 12 and the soup of the day was already all gone, bearing in mind that there were only a few walkers about - where had it gone? On another occasion, a friend I was with asked for a bacon sandwich only for the staff to, rather ignorantly, tell me that they couldn't, and I think something was mentioned about it being one or two minutes past the time at which they stop serving breakfast. I also observed one cyclist who simply wanted a cup of tea to take away, being told that they had ran out of plastic cups. The cakes are nice despite the limited selection and they serve good hot drinks. I find is overstaffed and it seems to take three waiters to make a cup of tea from as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, the staff seem to lack initiative and the whole place seems to be ignorant of its areas for improvement.Despite all of this, I do still stop by occasionally if the pub across the canal, the Cross Guns (which has a much friendlier and efficient attitude), is fully booked as it often is because this cafe is in a beautiful location and the cake and tea do tend to be great. When I go I often think how much it could be improved by more aware and efficient staff as well as actually stocking up! It is decorated really nicely and they do well with the space that they have. But in an area, where a lot of people are locals and everybody is friendly with one another, they really have the wrong attitude.I would just recommend stopping by the Cross Guns for one of their fabulous homemade scones and a hearty cup of tea rather than taking what they have at No. 10.Much potential, but clearly not the initiative to carry it off. Remain disappointed, I'm afraid.

A friendly little place with excellent (and enormous) cups of coffee - there isn't much room inside but there is a large garden so in the warmer months this wouldn't be such an issue. Dogs are welcome too which is a nice touch.

Having had the misfortune to visit the Cross Guns and get scowled at for asking for food and drink we decided on this visit to Avoncliff to have some tea and snacks here instead and was pleasantly surprised, great pot of tea and delicious flapjacks coupled with great service and a warm welcome, will certainly be back and recommend to others, Only criticism is lack of gluten free products but otherwise brilliant.

A great stop for refreshments along the canal. Had hot soup on a cold day which was tasty. Coffee was excellent, a great flat white.

Greeted by happy young couple who served us efficiently even though they were busy. Sat in the gardens overlooking the river and enjoyed hot soup, fresh sandwiches and good coffee. Ideal for what we wanted in muddy boots.

I decided to brave the cold and walk along the towpath in the sun today (Friday) to Avoncliff to have coffee and a bun at No 10. When I arrived the notice said 'OPEN', the lights were on, all the food could be seen out on the counter, but....the door was locked and no staff in sight.There was a notice by the door that said that 'due to unforeseen circumstances' it would be closed 1.5 hours *from* 11:15am. OK, but....I was there at 10:20am! So, what happened then?Sadly, a wasted trip, so difficult to rate the place....... But from previous comments this would appear not to be the first time that customers have gone away disappointed.

We stopped by for a snack, and had a generous portion of really tasty soup, which came with a good-sized chunk of delicious bread. We had eaten something very similar the previous day at a different cafe, where we were given less but had paid more.An unexpected bonus was the discovery that Number 10 serves Dusty Ape coffee, which is some of the best coffee available locally and roasted not too far away. The service was excellent too - all 3 members of staff assisted in bringing our order to our table.

After a sunny walk along the Canal we were in need of a cup of tea. A lovely aroma of cakes being baked and a wonderful display of cakes and scones tempted us into trying the Victoria sponge, quite the most delicious piece of cake I have ever eaten out and a generous slice.Light and moist sponge with just the right amount of jam and creamy butter cream. We will definitely return. I also loved the fact that you could also toast your own bread or tea cakes as I like mine toasted well but my husband likes his under done. Well done to you for such a wonderful place to stop and refuel with a varied selection of treats.

We were attracted to this cafe due to its beautiful location. The cakes were good, but unfortunately the staff don't want to provide anything other than minimal effort. It was sad to see that there was very little stock, and no willingness to make any more. By 1.15, the already limited selection of sandwiches had been almost depleted. The final straw came when I ordered a toasted tea cake, and was directed towards the toaster and told that it was a self service order - which would be acceptable for a much lower price. Overall this is the typical lacklustre business that tourists must despair at when visiting this beautiful area. A true waste of potential.

Experienced these tea gardens with my partner in February 2014 and the food review below is based on that experience!However, we took our 80+ year old parents with mobility problems there on 31 August 2015 (August Bank holiday Monday) for breakfast before going for a canal walk (in wheelchairs). The Bradford on Avon TIC website stated they opened at 01:00, so we arrived there at 10:30, having travelled from Shaftesbury in Dorset, just over an hour away, only to find them shut.Sign on the door said they should have been open from 09:00!!!Having negotiated the narrow service track to the Cross Guns pub just down the road, we had a wonderful breakfast.On our way back up at around 11:15, lo and behold the tea gardens were open!!I stopped and informed the two people slouching behind the counter (nobody else in the place) that if they had opened at their times stated, they would have had five people for breakfast.After our first visit in 2014, I sung their praises far and wide.I will now sing far and wide how unreliable they are!!

We've done the Bath to Bradford on Avon canal walk twice now and stopped here both times. When we visited in November the tea garden was not even open for business, the owner was just doing some gardening but he still stopped and made us tea, which was well received as every other place along the way had been closed. We stopped again in summer and this time the canal walk was busy as was the cafe. We had sandwiches which were served with crisps and salad which unfortunately left no room for cakes. The garden is a lovely place to stop and watch the world go by and the staff are genuinely friendly.

Lovely place to enjoy tea and cake - not always open so check first but a great place for a treat, particularly if you have just done a good canal/river walk!

My partner and I have come here a few times and it is a good place to stop off half way through a canal walk with our two terriers.We usually sit outside, where there's plenty of seating and space.The staff are friendly and there are toilets attached, so quite handy!The only thing I would mention would be the price of a slice of cake - £2.50 for an inch slice of malteaser cake or a slice of Victoria sponge. They are good, but I don't always get a slice, even though I want to, because of the price! In general though, everything is good. A mocha and a hot chocolate was £5 and you get plenty.Overall, a good little café and pit stop but a bit too pricey.

The cafe by the Avoncliff Viaduct serves good food and coffee. Lovely homemade cakes.On a sunny day the garden is great to sit in amidst soft English river scenery.Walk from Bradford on the way to Bath or a round trip from Bradford by the Kennet and Avon canal and watch out for kingfishers.

Was here on Easter Monday. The staff are lovely as always. The cake was yummy as every. It's a lovely place to walk to and sit in the garden witch are always well kept

We stopped here after a walk along the canal just as they were closing over bank holiday weekend... Most places would turn you away but instead we were offered discounted sandwiches and they took our drinks order Willingly :) we also had a nice slab of cake ! Thanks for your patience and being accommodating - definitely recommend and will be back !

We visited with our family in July. We ordered a cream tea and there were some scones about to come out of the oven. We decided to wait and it was worth it. My husband and I both agreed it was the best cream tea we had ever had...and we have had a few. The sandwiches were great too, as was the service and the surroundings.

Go for the cream tea! great fruit scones, friendly and helpful staff, a lovely venue to spend a Sunday afternoon and relax with a cuppa by the canal. Will return to sample the other cakes on offer, but will probably need a longer walk!

My wife and I had a longish walk along the towpath and were looking forward to a cup of tea at the tea gardens which had changed hands since our last visit. We thought £2.15 for a mug of tea pretty steep especially as it was counter service for a tea bag and hot water in a mug which I had to fish out and add tea and sugar myself.

A lovely little Tea room set in a great location, well worth a stop for a mid walk beak. It has a friendly welcoming atmosphere, good selection of homemade cakes and enclosed little garden for dogs and children to enjoy. Will definitely be heading back there.
