We visited Primrose this afternoon for afternoon tea. Upon arrival we felt ignored & when we initiated conversation the lady was extremely rude & not at all welcoming, telling us to wait outside in a rude manner as no tables available inside. We decided to go into the garden area & were further disappointed to not only have to go and get our own order, like some second rate service sector, but to fund everything was in paper cups, boxes & cutlery as apposed to the very beautiful tea services presented inside. It was a very poor experience & while the setting was absolutely gorgeous the staff along with the poor garden experience certainly spoilt the afternoon tea. I would urge the owners to consider the points above so that the outside setting reflects the inside setting which currently is a million miles apart.
We frequent traditional English tea rooms and this place tops the charts by far. The only thing to complain about is maybe no room to get in. Take a wander round the village, also a delight.
Such a beautiful setting, amazing and friendly staff, and gorgeous locally made food. I had the high tea with a darjeeling, mint chocolate cake with rhubarb jam. Everything was fresh and comfy, and my Adam (a chocolate lab) found it comfy and calm for him too.
A round of toasted teacakes and tea, all excellent, served in lovely surroundings. The cheese scone is also thoroughly recommended. And the staff were so helpful when we were looking to meet up with someone local to the area. Can't recommend enough.
Such a pretty tea room and garden. A great choice and such tasty food as well. We sat outside to enjoy the weather so food/drinks is still go up to get it when it’s ready/packaged in boxes/paper cups etc. Hopefully this will be updated back soon to traditional tea pots/cups/plates for outside sittings as well. A great place to visit highly recommend thank you 😊
