Potteries Tea Rooms in Rotherham

Absolutely loved our visit to here today, all the sandwiches were fresh and the cake was beautiful! Will definitely be returning ❤️

Had a lovely afternoon tea here with my mum. The cakes and scones were absolutely gorgeous and the sandwiches very tasty too. My only criticism would be that our scones weren’t warm. The afternoon tea was very reasonably priced and the tea room itself is very quaint with friendly staff. Will definitely be returning ☺️

Visited this week with my daughter and family. The COVID guidelines in place were very good and followed by both staff and customers. Felt very safe and comfortable. The sandwiches and cakes were as yummy as always and we had a lovely time. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Thankyou for another lovely visit.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea at the Potteries today. For a change I thought we would try a themed option and my friend and I were certainly not disappointed. The platter looked amazing!! We chose the sandwich fillings we wanted and they arrived along with crisps, some salad leaves, sausage rolls and mini Cornish pasties. Cakes included marshmallows, snowballs, macarons and chocolates too!! Our tea pot and coffee were replenished as requested and it felt so good to be out and enjoying ourselves in lovely surroundings. The staff were most welcoming and attentive and although there were only a few tables compared to the norm, it was still a great atmosphere. As always the food was plentiful and tasted really good. The cupcakes (again everything was decorated in the blue colours of the Frozen story), were light and beautifully themed.I’d certainly recommend this for a ‘special’ afternoon tea with extra touches at a very reasonable price!!

Love this little place for themed afternoon teas all ways enjoyed it staff friendly. My grand daughter loves the Harry Potter afternoon teas she always goes for the adult one tho but she is 12 year old. Booked in for 25th August 2020 can’t wait

Pleasant staff. Overall a little disappointed with the quality and range of sandwiches on offer. We were told that there was no lemon drizzle cake left but people who came in after us were served it. The scones were a little on the small size

Attended in December for a baby shower. It was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and the place looked fantastic. There was more than enough food. They don't take card payments but were friendly and directed me to a cash point about 2 minutes away as well as providing a box to take away leftovers in. Parking across the road was useful too.

Booked a table for Saturday the 7th December for a table of 10 (5 adults, 3 children & 2 nearly 1 year olds). They managed to fit us round a large table even though it was a snug squeeze, but was told this on booking the table. We all tried a variety of different platers from Disney to Christmas Theme! They were all beautifully set out & so yummy. Staff were extremely accommodating and friendly, even with the extra mess and noise provided by 5 little people. I would definitely recommend Potteries Tea Room & we will be returning soon

Very disappointed with this afternoon tea, wasn’t that much choice on sandwich platter and as for dessert platter no buns only 2 snowballs, 2 french fancies, 2 tiny scones, 2 cupcakes and 2 tiny chocolates. Sorry but who wants fresh fancies and snowballs on afternoon tea it’s for proper cakes and buns. We had to ask for coffee as none was given and no one was around to ask if we needed any more. Very poor service, not attentive at all. This was definitely NOT worth its money. The company of the party was lovely, just a shame couldn’t say same about the food....

Came here as a birthday treat with some friends. Absolutely loved it. So different and unusual - we had the themed afternoon tea - Alice in Wonderland. Lots of themes to choose from, great service. Frequently topped up on tea and coffee. Delicious food and presented to perfection. Great value for money and anything you can't eat you can take home! Such a lovely day - will definitely be returning. Worth booking and choosing your theme. Highly recommended.

Had afternoon tea here. So easy to book via Facebook and they were very quick in resonding. What a lovely little tea room this is. Big thanks to Kitchen Staff. The afternoon tea selections are wonderful and very inventive. We had the special with a drink included. The fresh cream Victoria sponge was delicious. Well worth a visit and will definately be going back.

We come here quite often for different types of afternoon tea. This time we had Mary Poppins and it was again beautiful. Even a extra gift for me pops birthday. We love it here. And really friendly staff.

Lovely place fot afternoon tea. Really nce food and staff, free parking across the road. Quirky decor and quaint crockery. They do a fab halloween tea for kids, also other occasions. Lucky for us it is close by but well worth a journey for a treat. Places like this are few and far between.Always best to book as it is small and gets booked up fast.

First visit so booked a table (a must!) and a good job too as it was very busy. The jacket potatoes were very good with plenty of tasty filling. The Victoria sponge with strawberries and cream was lovely and light. Would recommend this place.

Came here today for afternoon tea with my daughter and friend. A lovely little tea room with friendly and welcoming staff. My daughter had a princess afternoon tea and the adults had an Aladdin themed one, all the food was fresh and delicious. Great value for money and there was plenty of food for us all. Overall a fantastic place to eat would highly recommend a visit to this place and will definitely be returning soon!

Lovely little tea room, perfect for a natter & catch up accompanied with afternoon tea. Plenty of choice. They were great with my mum who was on an electric scooter. They allowed her to park it round the back for safe keeping! There is a car park just over the road for easy access. Had a wonderful morning. They were very accommodating as I only booked it the night before, and on a Sunday night too!

My friend took me for an early birthday treat . It is a lovely tea room and the food and service was excellent . We had a ploughman’s salad with a portion of delicious chips to share and it was delicious. I saw other meals being eaten such as toasties, sandwiches and afternoon teas and they all looked very tasty . I will be back there soon foe sure as it is on my doorstep. I would really recommend coming here .

This is the third time we’ve visited the potteries tea room and have loved it every time.

Visited today 27/04/2019 for the first time with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter we had the mad hatters afternoon teas absolutely fabulous we was overwhelmed with the choice and the food was amazing we have booked in for a Harry potters next month can’t wait. Staff and service very good.

I visited with friends who hadn’t been before, everything was great as usual. this was the first time I have had a standard afternoon tea and was lovely! They are very accommodating with sandwiches choices as we don’t like egg or tuna and they were happy for us to choose different options. Plenty of tea available and the cake is delicious:)

Me and my mum booked in to potteries for the Mary Poppins platter it was lovely, well presented and delicious! The only reason I didn’t mark it as 5 stars was because the salad was browning. Other than that lovely!

Had a lovely afternoon tea here, booked in as a belated anniversary treat. Staff were super friendly and the place has a really homely cute feel. We booked in advance as my partner has a dairy allergy and the staff were so helpful and accommodating, they managed to do him an aftrnoon tea minus all the milk and cream! Hopefully we will visit again soon.

Quirky furnishings and crockery. Spotlessly clean ( including toilets)

We had the Mary Poppins themed afternoon tea for three and it was amazing. Would 100% recommend. Something for everyone and looks great inside. Easy to miss as you are driving along so keep your eyes peeled!

Been twice here lovely time we had both times very frindly staff and helpful meal very nice well worth the money. Must go again .

went for my grand daughters 10th birthday with her friend who is 9 her little sister 2 and my daughter and we all had a lovely time,a lovely cup of coffee for me as I don't drink tea and was so full had to take the cup cakes home with us,enjoyed it all and will be back again,thank you

Potteries is a fantastic local establishment with amazing food served in a lovely way. Great value for money and a great idea for a gift.

Love this place. Chicken and ham sandwiches are 'real meat' not compressed water thin rubbish. A little pricey but worth it. Lovely cakes and scones.

I was taken to the Potteries for a surprise gift of afternoon tea by one of my girl friends. The setting looked lovely on arrival and was busy in both tea rooms. We were given a very warm welcome and taken to our table. A choice of sandwiches was on offer and of the 6 filling choices we could pick 3. Then we were offered a choice of 3 cake options all very tempting. We were served a traditional afternoon tea of egg mayo, ham and also chicken sandwiches with tomato halves and lettuce, wonderful!! We both chose the fresh cream and strawberry Victoria sponge which was very light and delicate in taste, even though the portions were very generous. And so to the scones , jam and clotted cream plus a selection of mini cakes, strawberries dipped in white chocolate all served with as much tea as you can drink. A totally fabulous experience from start to finish. Definitely happy to recommend this little gem.

Called here with family , we was well looked after , service was very quick The food was just amazing Lovely place to go to just chill , catch up and eat stunning lunch Highly recommended

Went for Mary Poppins afternoon tea with two friends. The staff were really friendly and the food was delicious. We boxed up all of our left overs to take home. We’ve rebooked Harry Potter for October half term. Highly recommend.

First time we’ve been here but saw various recommendations on Facebook. Very busy lunchtime but efficient and friendly staff saw us to our pre-booked table. Good quantity of sandwiches but why do they only butter one half of the bread and not even up to the edges. Sorry pet hate of ours. (I would have been reprimanded for doing that when I worked in catering). Given a choice of one piece of cake plus the traditional scone with jam and cream and a chocolate. An excellent pot of tea with an offer of a top up if we wanted. If anyone tries to go who is disabled I’m not sure they would get to the toilet because it is reached by a high step though there could be an alternative elsewhere on the premises. At £8.90 per person I would go again but make sure I asked for chutney for the sandwiches or extra butter for the dry side of bread. Plenty of free parking is available in a public car park across the road.

Cute little tea shop that does amazing themed afternoon tea, with so much attention to detail. Welcoming and friendly staff need too book if large group, will go again

I paid another visit to this lovely tea rooms with my husband Brian. Served by the ever efficient waitress Michelle. We had a panini. It was huge, and I ended up taking half home in a doggie bag. The rooms are always spotlessly clean, and the service is excellent. I will certainly return regularly to this lovely place

Omg beautiful!! Me and my mum went today and the food is gorgeous! We had the deluxe afternoon tea and was stuffed! All the good is fresh and the decor is lovely! We will return!

Lovely little tea room, afternoon tea was made fresh to order and was gorgeous, would highly recommend

Fabulous! Great selection of sweet n savoury n plenty of it! The staff are all lovely and there is nothing to fault! Will definitely be back

This is a good experience, the place is quite small but adequate. The whole thing was great, sandwiches, with variety, lovely cakes and scones and tea in china cups. Will definitely be going again.

I have visited Potteries a good few times as I live local to Swinton.

I have been here a couple of times now and I love it every time. It really is brilliant!! It is so unique with the theme'd afternoon tea's as well as the venue in general. So quirky, I just love it. Not a bad word to say.

What a great place, my little girl loved it and the food was amazing, we had a unicorn for my daughter and a beauty and beast for me. What a lovely place and the staff are great x

Just got home from a lovely afternoon beauty and the beast treat. Was lovely. Well recommended. Really well looked after, service was great and food delicious.

I came here with friends and we also had two babies with us. They made sure we all had plenty of room and the tea/sandwiches were lovely. There were plenty for all of us with some leftover!

Visited with my mum and sister and had a lovely time. The afternoon was lovely! Was plenty there for three of us. Lovely surroundings. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

We visited here and enjoyed the mad hatters themed afternoon tea. The sandwiches where freshly made, plentiful and very tasty. The Cakes were delicious and there was plenty we even asked for a box to take left overs home.

Absolutely loved it. Friendly staff, the food was lovely, nice environment. We had the halloween platters and they were amazing my 6 year old son loved it! Would highly reccomend and will be returning again soon.

You must book. They get so booked up here that id also recommend advance booking by 3ish weeks.

3 of us went for afternoon tea, booking is recommended. We opted for the standard tea and were given 5 varieties of sandwich, tuna, egg, ham, cheese and chicken on a mixture of white and brown bread. We had a small scone each served with jam and cream, and had a choice of cake. The cake was served as one large slice each not as a selection of small cakes. We had a large pot of tea between us. For £7.95 each, the value was amazing. The cafe also does themed afternoon teas, e.g. Halloween, Princess, Willy Wonka. These are dearer at £12.95 each, but looked to be lots of fun. The cafe was decorated for Halloween. The service was good, and we would all be happy to go again.

Saw Potteries Tea rooms advertised online and took my daughter for a pre school treat, the place was lovely welcoming and all decorated ready for Halloween which my daughter loved, the staff were friendly and made a fuss of my daughter which was really nice, I loved the fine China tea cup ! Shall definitely return. Advice to other's if you see a treat online make sure you book as what we originally went for (Halloween treat) wasn't available unless we had booked prior which wasn't a problem we just ordered something else.

We went here for afternoon tea and took the little ones for a pre school treat. It was good food and the presentation of all the platters was fantastic and great attention to detail. The kids and adults had a great time and the staff were really friendly even though they were very busy they made everyone feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend for family's or adults

Was taken here by a very dear friend to start my birthday celebrations off. Had a seaside themed afternoon tea as we'd just returned from our holidays. It was well thought out and delicious. If I can ever find my way back I will definitely be trying one of the other themes, maybe Harry Potter or Charlie and the chocolate factory mmmm. Thank you

Went here today for afternoon tea was lovely, well presented and fresh, the only thing I would change is make smaller individual cakes we made a mess cutting them so we could lol try each one haha! Deffo will be back

Have to book but was able to get a table the day before. Good range of sandwiches and offered cake choices whereby we were able to get a slice of each to share and try between us. Fair price for additional drinks and servers were attentive.

I took my sister as part of her birthday treat. We had the Harry Potter afternoon tea. The presentation was amazing!! Lots of little things had been thought of. The downside to it was that majority of the things had been bought in with only the sandwiches being made by potteries and possibly the cupcakes. I mean it's not too hard to knock up a cheese quiche. Oh and they used cheap chocolate and cheap sweets, I'm not a snob but I love chocolate and sweets and I just couldn't eat them hah. Definitely worth a visit maybe just not several visits.

Found Potteries Tea Rooms by chance on way home from a hospital visit, meal was tasty and well presented, staff were friendly and attentive, reasonable prices, well worth a visit.

I recently took my daughter and her friend aged 4 for the beauty and the beast afternoon tea.. it was the cuties thing I had seen.. kids loved it and the normal lunch menu was lovely too.. Look forward to returning

Fantastic take on afternoon tea' took my daughters for a treat and they got dressed in their princess dresses and absolutely loved it! The food was delicious and plenty of it! The staff were really friendly and attentive too! Will 100% be coming again!

Had a lovely time here on Mother's Day with my middle son , cost £22 for 2 Choice of sandwich fillings choice of cake and as much tea as u can drink 🍹

I visited with my daughter and granddaughter. We had standard afternoon tea and my granddaughter had the Cinderella theme.....just one word describes our afternoon. ....beautiful....lovely pot of tea followed by fresh beautiful home made sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam.....then beautiful home made cake .....can't thank the girls enough....helped me surprise my daughter by icing a cup cake with a surprise trip to NY....already planning a return visit....

Visited this week with my work colleagues as a lunch-time treat to celebrate the bride to be within the team.

Visited for afternoon tea for the first time after seeing other great reviews. Was not disappointed! Was absolutely beautiful! Lovely, friendly, welcoming staff and gorgeous food! We had the traditional afternoon tea which was delicious and an absolute bargain at £7.95 each! Great selection of sandwiches and gorgeous chocolate cake! Will definitely be returning!

Me and my sister took our mum her for afternoon tea. The staff were so friendly and gave us advice on what to have for our first time. The food was just as good as the staff and mum loved it.

Lovely fresh food, great choice, amazing cakes and wonderful staff. Big shout out for Jody who welcomed us and then took our orders, lovely lady xxx

Me, my mum and sister's went for themed afternoon tea we had 2 Harry Potter, Willy Wonka and Mad Hatter all were amazing with so much variety. The only problem is the cafe is so small we were huddled around a table for 4 with the tea platters crammed on the table.

Quirky little tea room perfect platters full of fun and great themes always something different definitely worth a visit...or 3!

After seeing numerous Facebook posts, I had to visit Potteries Tea Rooms. First of all, it's a cute little tea room with great decor and lighting so it's a pleasant dining experience. The Afternoon Tea there is pretty amazing. Beautifully presented and the chocolate orange cake is to die for. I would happily eat that every day for the rest of my life! The staff are friendly and even ask what sandwiches you want - which is a nice little touch. For what you get it really is a bargain as it was around £15 for two of us. Really enjoyed my visit and hope to come back soon.

After seeing the facebook page and looking at the pictures of the Harry Potter boards and the Willy Wonka boards, we decided to book we had to book in advance as the days we wanted was fully booked its not a massive place, we were a table of six - seating wise we wasn't cramped however the boards take a lot of the room on the table up.

Great prices, lovely staff, good food. Had the afternoon tea, well presented, good choices, nice atmosphere. Will visit again soon.

Very lovely breakfast in this tea room. Beautiful atmosphere and a perfect spot for a little treat. Staff are really lovely and attentive. The only thing that put us off, was the table turn around and them verbally telling you how long you can have the table for. However this would not put us off and can be understandable through busy periods.

Excellent service great staff value for money would defiantly visit again and would highly recommend 😀

i was given this Tea for Two voucher as a birthday present before Christmas . Used the voucher today and really enjoyed my treat, thank you. I know it says TEA for two but I never ever drink tea as I just don't like the taste. When I asked for a black coffee instead of tea I was told yes I could have coffee but there would be a charge of 50p for it. Surely Tea for Two should give you the option of tea or coffee as I'm sure I'm not the only person who doesn't like coffee.

I recently had my third visit to Potteries tea rooms and I can say that the service is incredible and the staff are a delight. I have visited twice for standard afternoon tea which is a bargain for what you get (£6.95 per person for a choice of sandwiches, a big slab of cake, scones, a chocolate and a pot of tea). And once for a christmas platter which was spectacular and we will be definitely having another next year!

Went for afternoon tea as a treat over Christmas! Sandwiches, cake, cream scone and a big pot of tea... All for just short of £7 each!!!! Fantastic value! Will def return!

I have visited the Potteries Tea Room a few times now (and we are booked in again in February). This is the best afternoon tea I have had. I have been to Manchester and York and paid 3 and 4 times more and neither were a patch on the Potteries Tea Room. It has a quaint lovely atmosphere, the afternoon teas are well worth the money. The chicken is proper chunks of chicken not 'wafer thin pretend chicken', fantastic home made chips and lovely themed platters for the children. Lovely staff, nothing is too much trouble. This has become one of our favourite places to eat. Also does other food if you are not an afternoon tea person.

the food was well presented ,lovely staff. were very friendly and helpful ,we booked for my granddaughters birthday they do lovely childrens platters some are themed ones very good how they present them ,and grandma loved it ,you have to book as it is not very big ,

I visited the tea rooms with 6 other girlie friend for a presecco breakfast pre Christmas shopping trip.

Me and my 5 year old niece went for afternoon tea together. This was an excellent experience she was thrilled with the platter for Christmas. There was that much left after had to have a box to take it home. Would highly recommend

Quaint little tea rooms offering friendly service, amazing value for money and good food. Will certainly be returning!

We have just been for lunch today for a super halloween afternoon tea. Choice of sandwiche fillings then a small soup and then a massive selection of deserts. A lovely little tearoom so definitely book to avoid turning up and being disappointed if full!!! The lady said there are more themed afternoon teas planned so can definitely see us coming back.

What a wonderful place everything is made fresh as you order it the staff are very welcoming and cannot do enough to help you. Definitely one to visit.

This place is a little gem. Food, service and staff are brilliant. It is wise to book a table as this place is very popular.

lovely tea beautifully set out looks so pretty loads of choice of cakes and sandwich fillings large slices of cake.. chocolate strawberrys after dinner mints all sorts of little treats well pleased

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent value for money! We came here for a birthday celebration and nothing was too much trouble.

A friend and I called in last Friday and had a superb afternoon tea. Sandwich quarters, salad, a piece of cake and a scone with fresh cream and jam topped off with a fresh strawberry and a Lindor chocolate and served with a pot of tea ... absolutely delicious. Been here many times and haven't had anything bad yet. They now do a variety of platters to suit young and old alike and I didn't see anything but empty plates. If you haven't been before it's well worth a visit but remember to book a table as it's extremely popular. Claire the Manager/owner is always coming up with new ideas to serve something special. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

For an afternoon spot of tea and cake without the expensive bill this is place. There is ample free parking across the road and plenty of choice once inside. The many versions of 'afternoon tea' will make you want to come again and try an alternative. Theres even a 'Frozen' choice for your little princesses. Best to book a table to avoid disappointment as table space is limited. You'll be greeted with fine china, a pretty table and service with a smile.

Nice little tea room is just what is needed somewhere local and with good service and a wide rage of teas from afternoon tea to children mad hatter or seaside platters to a baby shower they will cater your every need for something a little special

My daughter wanted to take me and my wife out on a nice afternoon tea break on her day off work. Looking around in the area, Potteries was the only tea rooms which offered a lovely 3 tier lunch including sandwiches, cake, and scones with strawberry and cream - plus a pot of tea. All for just £5.99pp

Had a wonderful time..warm and welcoming staff.. fantastic food..good value for money...would highly recommend.

I went for breakfast with a couple of friend and the place is lovely I liked it that much booked a party there foods lovely staffs lovely and the place is too it's a must visit place

I have been twice now and will be revisiting! The platters are fantastic, never had anything like them elsewhere. Fresh and filling and the staff are lovely Xx

Beautiful quality, value for money. Well worth a visit. I will certainly be going again . Choice was great, sandwiches cakes scones and pastries. Lovely for a special occasion.

This place has now become so popular booking is becoming essential. Booked for lunch and despite being busy drinks and food were delivered very promptly. Good quality coffee and the food was to the usual high standard backed with excellent service.

This is a lovely little tea shop and is perfectly situated opposite a free car park.

Came here for Easter afternoon tea. Really lovely food and well presented. Staff all lovely and helpful the place is so clean and tidy. Asked for a couple of bride to be cupcakes for my niece. Nothing too much trouble they were so lovely. We couldn't finish it all so they gave us little take away boxes. They also did my sons outside catering for his 18th birthday party . We would highly recommend this. Fabulous buffet loads of choice and plenty of it. I very rarely give out 5 * but everyone said how amazing the food was and we were delighted with it. Thank you.

Had a great afternoon tea, choice of sandwiches and cake which came on cake stands with chocolates, strawberry and mini scones with jam and cream. Came with a pot of tea or you can order coffee. Clean with fresh food, give it a try

My daughters took myself and my mother in law to the potteries tea room for mothers day it was absolutely beautiful staff were polite and friendly manager came in and wished us all happy mothers day, food was well presented as i've said absolutely gorgeous will be going again thank you for making it special

Lunch for Mother's Day on 5th March - lovely food but rushed - waitress attempting to clear food away before we had finished - obviously table needed for next guests booked in - please allow folks time to enjoy the lunch without being time bound

A pleasant enough afternoon tea which we had booked in advance for 1pm. We were asked to leave at 2pm as our table had been booked for that time by another party. I think it would have been courteous to inform us of that at the time we booked or even before/during our 'tea'. The young waitress was obviously embarrassed but was polite and apologetic. So we left very suddenly, feeling disappointed, embarrassed and, to be honest, still hungry (we are not greedy people or big eaters.) At £10.95 for the Mad Hatters Platter (see photo) I'll leave it up to others to decide if it was value for money. I have rated the place 3 stars purely as I don't want to affect your good rating - I'm sure it was just a blip as all the other reviews are so positive and I seem to be in a minority!

Lovely atmosphere, great menu and staff very helpful. All in all fantastic place. Will definitely be back

took my mum here last week,staff are very friendly and welcoming ,very clean and felt right at home .gorgeous food with a very good selection and presented well ,very reasonably priced ,definetly going back
