Olde Penny's Tea Room in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited with a friend and was instantly thrown down nostalgia lane. Having afternoon high tea nestled in-between the antiques was exactly what we had pictured. The food was tasty and the staff were warm and welcoming, I would definitely recommend.

Went for afternoon tea,well only ended up with a sandwich each. Young lady serving seemed overwhelmed. Not checked on for tea/coffee refills and eventually after an hour asked if we wanted anything else. I had said we were there for afternoon tea when we chose our sandwiches. Ended up leaving and paying for what ended up just being expensive sandwiches. This was supposed to be a treat for visiting family and left me disappointed and embarrassed. Been before abd the afternoon tea was good,but unfortunately I won't be going back after today

I came across this tea room by chance. I am so glad I did as I had a lovely lunch, home made quiche with salad and a coffee. The tea room itself is in a vintage setting which was lovely. The food was very good value. There were also many cakes on offer so I took some home with me. While I was there I took the chance to look around the rooms, if you like vintage items this is the place for you, so many interesting items for sale. I found a beautiful Italian handbag and silk scarf. I would recommend a visit.

Amazing quirky and quaint tearoom with so much to see, the cream tea was the best, very delicious 😋. Me and mum enjoyed our visit, we brought a plant and are looking forward to coming back 💖✨️

My self & husband had so much to choose from Beautiful food , very good value, fabulous atmosphere, brought weighing scales and a painting could not be more pleased. The Manager & staff were so helpful & kind. Thanks you for a beautiful day.

Olde Penny's is a real timewarp with lovely food, great service and loads to see!! Friendly welcome and excellent service - must be seen to be believed. Acres of antiques and collectables and food and drink all under one roof - what could be better?

A friend arranged to meet up for lunch at this extremely interesting Aladdin's Cave! The place is a very unusual place, slightly off the beaten track, which not only supplies some very interesting food but also a vast array of vintage clothing and antiques. The...

This is a wonderful tea room - excellent home-made food, friendly helpful service, in truly vintage surroundings.

We stopped off after a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. A wonderfully warm welcome from the proprietress, who so obviously enjoyed her, for want of a better description, vocation. The selection of savouries and cakes were sumptuous, and irresistible (sorry diet...

This, warm friendly and very interesting place is on my shortlist of stop-offs for Teas, Cake and Snacks, so its not unexpected that I should give it a good report again. The Tea was its usual high standard but the Gluten free Cheesecake I had...

This is another attraction that has gone through a metamorphosis over the years, but in its current guise, is a winner! Put simply, it is an antiques shop that serves food! In many respects, it's a little like stepping back in time! One often wanders...

Had a lovely lunch here, pot of good coffee and really friendly service. China cups and saucers miss matched and old fashioned set tables. Unique menus. You can also browse the antiquities and paintings for sale. Very welcoming and personal service.

Judy was kind enough to cater for a small family gathering, and provided tea, sandwiches, cakes and scones for 20 of us. Everything was delicious, nothing was too much trouble and everyone commented on how lovely the food, and the service was. Olde Penny's is...

Loved browsing the vintage clothes and tried a few hats on! After looking at all the vintage bric a brac and the many interesting bits and pieces we enjoyed a really lovely pot of tea and fresh cheese sandwiches. It was a beautiful day and...

A friendly tea room. The high tea is more than enough for two and quite delicious. Interesting vintage collection.

Lovely vintage setting ... like going back in time ... with great cakes / cream teas ... Lovely owner who looks after her guests. Than you!

This is a hidden gem. Not a location you would expect to find such a wonderful experience but give it a go. We had the mackerel pate and hevva cake, all home made and absolutely scrumptious. I have eaten hevva cake on several occasions and...

Didn't know the tea room was there! Found review and went along for cream tea, really friendly welcome, one of our party had the mackerel pate on toast and was very impressed and full, we had cream tea and my daughter had Victoria sponge, a...

Even if you don't want to browse the "Antiques" and old 1940s,50s and 60s items, you can just sit in the tea rooms and drink in the atmosphere whilst listening to music from that era. The tea is worth having though as its excellent. Recommended.

This lovely tea room is a wonderful asset for our area. The scones are not to be believed! The welcome is warm and friendly. You can sit over a pot of tea and lovely food in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere and then browse the antiques...

This is basically a snack restaurant which uses the on site Antique shop in which to serve its snacks. This works really well and the sandwiches, Tea, Cakes etc are all freshly made and are delicious. The service is friendly and it makes for an...

Another reviewer says don't be fooled from the road and they're right. Great home made mackerel pate, a gluten free delicious chocolate cake and Camp coffee - as well as teas, coffees etc. The decor and the staff are full on vintage with old fashioned...

Great cream tea with all the dressings as this is a vintage shop selling furniture, accessories and clothes around the tea room. Lovely family running it, very friendly and chatty. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with nice music.

From the outside this is not the most appealing location or premises but walk in the front door and you enter a different time warp . You are greeted by the most friendly staff and a fascinating collection of memorabilia set out over several rooms..................................

This place is great. Its a combination of old fashions from the past decades, memorabilia from the same periods and a nice selection of cakes to eat in those surroundings. The staff are lovely and quite attentive. They do not do
