Remember When Wirral in Wirral

Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Amazing value for money at just £8.50, including your tea and toast. Lovely welcoming staff and a great atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend .

My mum, friend and daughter in law kept telling me this was a lovely place. Having driven 4 hours to stay at mum's the previous day I was looking forward to 5 of us getting together Wednesday just gone. The menu had a good variety of food,however the service left a lot to be desired. Despite having pre-booked for 4 people then changing it to 5 the table was still not set up properly when arrived with my mum. All of our plates from the main course were left on the table when dessert was served. Come on staff, you let both the eatery and yourselves down, spoiling my first experience of your establishment.

I am a fairly regular customer at this establishment and I have nothing but praise for the food and the service. Breakfast is very tasty and exceptional value for money. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and there is no scrimping on the portion size. If you want to step back in time and soak up some nostalgia, this is the place to go, it's got a really friendly, homely vibe and even the dogs are greeted with a fuss, a bowl of water and some treats. I would highly recommend this unique tea room.

When seated we asked what the soup was. We were told no soup in fact and very little else. Ordered a ploughman's and bacon and chicken sandwiches. The ploughman's consisted of 2 dry pieces of bread, a quarter slice of dry pork pie cut in two, 3 thin slices of cheap ham and a few lettuce leaves and 8 crisps. Sandwiches 2 slices of dry bread with çhicken and bacon. This disgusting meal cost £20.00. The ladies who were serving were really pleasant but embarrassed. Have never visited New Brighton before and will not be going back any time soon

As the Driftwood Cafe was closed we called next door for a drink, tea massively over priced at £2.95 for a mug , noted as Yorkshire Tea but was supermarket own brand teabag which was tasteless, the coffee, labelled as Cappuccino was very bad instant coffee with froth on top. Steer clear at all costs.

Food was excellent and came very quickly .Staff very polite and welcoming Would highly recommend.

Brilliant place for classic afternoon tea, for one vegan and one vegetarian. Food was scrumptious and plenty of it and not overpriced as many are, service was great and food was freshly made for us with nice big pot of tea and refills of coffee. Great place. Would definitely recommend.

THE best place to eat in New Brighton, possibly even the Wirral! Friendly staff, wonderful food, and a great atmosphere. Will try to come more often than every 7 years!

The “ home made” sausage rolls were like cutting through carpet. Definitely not freshly made, typically tasted like food that had been reheated over and over. Over priced food. Basic and tasteless, as well. Has definitely lowered its standards since the previous owner had it. We used to visit regularly, under previous owners, but not going again. Ploughman’s lunch……a variety of supermarket bits, thrown together. The pork pie was especially difficult to eat. The bread was dry , and not fresh. Makes me laugh to see the “ sausage rolls are flying out “ Not nice at all.

A choice of three cafes in a row and this one looked the most inviting. We couldn't have chosen better. Lovely atmosphere,welcoming friendly staff and a dog friendly establishment too. We both had the traditional breakfast and it was served freshly cooked, hot and nicely presented. With the addition of two doorstep slices of toast it was a filling and tasty breakfast and we have no reservations about recommending this place. Even the dogs felt relaxed and were greeted with a bowl of water and biscuits. A great start ro the morning.

We were 19 Danish students aged 15 and 4 adults who visited the cafe in the hope of a taste of Old England and we were not disappointed ! Everything from the quirky decor ( check out the loo!), service, atmosphere and not least a huge spread of an afternoon tea was first class. This was not just sandwiches and cake, but a total experience for our young people.

Booked here for afternoon tea as we’ve visited several time before and always been very happy. We Left very disappointed. Despite booking, it took 20 minutes for our order of sandwiches choices to be taken, and our drinks order. The service we received was very poor. The staff were not helpful and we were Mede to feel like we were an Inconvenience. Not the service we expected after visiting several times previously and being treated much better. There was a baby shower booked in after us, and it felt like the staff were more concerned with getting that “right”, than actually taking care of their paying customers who were waiting for their orders. Poor quality of afternoon tea and certainly feel like we were massively overcharged for the quality that we received. The cakes were majority chocolate based, which we don’t like but we weren’t given any options or told what anything was. There was no two cakes the same, despite being an afternoon tea for 6 people. It felt like we were just given the cakes left over from the weekend, rather than the luxury experience we were wanting and expecting for my dads birthday. Unhappy customers and unfortunately we won’t return.

Went there midweek and the place was busy, that was a good sign. Had afternoon tea there with my friend which was a lovely selection of sandwiches and best scones with jam (own made) and creme we’ve ever tasted. The staff were pleasant and the service was excellent. We will soon be back, the place is a little gem for New Brighton. 5 Star

Myself and my husband visited today for a belated afternoon tea gift from my mum. We were very impressed. The food was delicious, portions were excellent and the staff were very friendly. Loved the decor also which was very fitting for the name. This was our first visit and we will definitely return. Thank you very much for accommodating us!!

Had a nice full English breakfast with a friend. Very nice staff, good food. Nice atmosphere. It’s a very cosy place right by the waterfront.

After arriving 30 minutes early due to a wet golfing session our group of 7 were welcomed by a very polite young lady who showed us to are tables. Tea was ordered all round due to the unseasonably cold wet day. There was a quaint China tea service with the offer of a top up if needed and a choice of loose leaf teas. The food was really good and plentiful with a wide variety being ordered from our 2 tables with the friendly waitress inquiring if all was to our liking. We could have spent much longer there just looking at all the old photos and memorabilia on the walls and shelves.Can’t wait to return.S&M

Afternoon Tea delivered to the house - absolutely perfect! One veggie, one vegan AND gluten-free, two normal! Really lovely - can’t recommend highly enough!

This tearoom is lovely, decorated very nice and quaint. The food was lovely and fresh, never had so much on my plate for an afternoon tea, proper sized slices of cake, brilliant choice of sandwiches. The staff were very polite and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again.

Today we stopped here for lunch and were very glad we did. A lovely cafe full of memorabilia and a lovely ambience too. We had the Pork Pie & Pickle and it was delicious. Very nice pie, lovely fresh bread and a good plateful. We had a cappuccino in a good sized mug and very good coffee too. Would recommend and would certainly call again. Many thanks.

went for afternoon tea, a gift from xmas. lovely warm welcome, handed menus and explained what to pick from for sandwiches. good choice of fillings. ordered, pot of tea brought to table. there is a lot to be to be said for loose tea. the best cuppa i have had in a long while. Didn't have long to wait before our food arrived. WOW, freshly prepared sandwiches and a feast of homemade cakes and even slices of quiche. sandwiches were delicious - i had chicken and bacon, cheese and onion. my companion had ham and cheese and salmon and cream cheese. the quiche was lovely and then came the cakes. i decided to have my scone, came with cream and jam. they had been freshly baked that afternoon. the person who had done them certainly had the magic touch, they were so light and melt in your mouth. unfortunately by then we were both full so asked for take away boxes for the remainder. this is definitely the best we have been to and we have been to quite a few for afternoon tea. will be going again. great staff. great food.

Ordered a mother's day tea for me and my stepmum. Arrived beautifully packaged and with plenty of choice, amazing quality and every item was delicious.. This is the best place for cakes, sandwiches, homemade products for miles around. We come back time and time again because the service and quality of food can't be beaten.. Thank you for making mother day that extra special

I was absolutely delighted with the Mothers Day gluten free afternoon tea I received, which was a lovely surprise from my son. The cakes were delicious and very filling as were the savories that were included. I eat and order from here often and can never fault the food or the service. Well done to all the staff for making Mothers Day so special for me and no doubt for many others.

First time me and my mum decided to order from here we had heard the cakes and sandwiches were superb so finally decided to treat my mum to afternoon tea, the delivery arrived on time.... very friendly service I must say.. Opened the box to find a great selection of cakes, sandwiches etc, thoroughly enjoyed it all and most importantly so did my mum:) will definatly be back when it opens up again to the public

Terrible customer service. I rang to complain about the small amount of food I received in my tea for TWO. Only one slither of quiche and a tiny sausage roll, not enough to share, this unaccompanied the finger sandwiches and salad and a box of cakes, tiny piece of rocky road and sandwich cake, we had to share the cream and jam with our small scones. I paid £36 which did not justify the amount of food I received. The owner Lesley asked if I had received my free gift, a candle melt, which I didn't ask for and obviously couldn't eat! On trying to get my point across I was told that she was not a cafe repeatedly, which was not my point at all...but then why has she got a certificate for bronze "cafe" of the year 2019?? She continued to argue and shout at me as I was still trying to get a word in, before telling me she didn't give a sh*t and slamming down her phone. Very unprofessional and highly unrecomended!!!

I ordered a Mother’s Day afternoon tea. I’ve ordered from here before and it was good food but ridiculously overpriced. What I got in this one was a regular afternoon tea with a candle, melt and a tiny box of chocolates. I payed extra money for a few little add ons to the standard one. The food doesn’t explain the ridiculous amount of money for it. Also the portion size for what I payed isn’t exactly great either. The cakes were tiny, I got a small slice of rocky road, the same with the sponge with icing and two other slices of cake. For nearly £40 I’d expect more.

Great that Remember When has remained open throughout the current lockdown,though of course doing only takeaways and deliveries.Have used this cafe for years and must say that the cakes recently have been better than ever.Takeaway will never rival actually sitting down for coffee and cake but during the lockdown we make sure that we make the most of the few pleasures which are presently denied us.

I bought the Valentines afternoon tea and couldn't fault anything everything was fresh and extremely tasty especially the cakes ill definitely be going back again and I'd highly recommend to anyone to give this place a try

We ordered a beautiful Afternoon Tea for a Valentine treat, it arrived boxed and carefully packed in two individual boxes, one for sandwiches ,quiche and salad and the other for cakes, scones, jam/cream and biscuits.Simply amazing as usual, the home baked cakes and scones were beautiful and delicious, great portions too.The whole thing was delicious, we will certainly order their takeaway service again during lockdown. It will be wonderful to see them fully open again when lockdown is lifted.A brilliant tea room, highly recommended. Collette and Sue Wray.

For our daughters 21st birthday during lockdown we ordered afternoon tea for 4..the sandwiches/quiche/cake and scone collection was delicious...plenty for us all, enough to last until the next day for an extra treat.

Ordered caramel latte and cappuccino coffee to take away. Apart from the chocolate sprinkled on top of cappuccino it looked and tasted like instant coffee. Couldn't taste the caramel in the latte either. £6 for 2 drinks that weren't even average. Definitely much better coffee in other places. Not one we will revisit.

I don't usually feel the need to leave a review for this place as the food and service speaks for itself but after reading the awful review left a few days ago I was very surprised as the staff, food and service here are top quality.. Myself and my friend are regulars here we come every few weeks for the breakfast or rarebit on toast which is always spot on, this particular day Sunday 6th december we had a lovely meal and without going into too much detail have the highest praise for the staff in dealing with difficult situations.. remember when is the loveliest tea room I have ever been to and why I and many others keep on coming back, the food is always fresh and the service from the owner and staff is second to non.. Will be back soon :)

Great food, amazing service and welcoming atmosphere, well worth the money. Been in here several times with family and friends, always been a nice treat

Food is delicious and home made (I especially love the soup and sausage rolls) service is swift and friendly. Amazing selection of cakes including gluten free options. Very relaxing and homely atmosphere would definitely recommend!

I ordered a flat white coffee off the drinks menu. The waitress brought me a normal filter coffee. I told her I had asked for a flat white and she said that is what they call a flat white. I had to tell her what one was and she replied that she didn't know what a flat white is or how to make one. I had to go behind the counter and tell her how to make one. When my sister's omelette arrived, it was crusty and almost black. You could not see any yellow bits. We asked for another omelette and the owner came to our table and started arguing with us that it wasn't burnt, it was well cooked. A replacement was brought and it was cooked properly. The yolk on my nephew's fried egg was barely warm. My bacon looked about 3 days old and was too hard to eat. I had to spit it out because it tasted funny and I was scared I would break a tooth. While I went to the toilet, the owner came back to the table to tell my sister again that there was nothing wrong with the dark brown omelette. She was adamant she was right and we were wrong. We gave up waiting for the bill after 20 minutes. When I reminded the coffee waitress that we were still waiting, she very rudely told me she was busy. I had to wait at the counter until she was ready to prepare the bill. I will never go there again, mainly because being argued with by the owner that we don't know the difference between well cooked and burnt. I know what burnt looks like and I do not like being reprimanded by the owner in front of other customers.

Im a delivery driver so see a lot of take away food places, Staff are lovely and welcoming, had a bacon and egg on toast, both egg and bacon perfectly cooked, and they wrapped it in tin foil so didn't stick to the paper bag, latte is lovely too, obviously due to covid, take away only, definitely a good stop off for me

I visit the tearoom quite often and have never had a bad experience, from the staff to the food and atmosphere.I recently ordered afternoon tea as takeaway, they were promptly ready when I arrived. My gluten free afternoon tea was clearly marked and delicious, with a great selection of cakes.I cannot wait for it to reopen fully to once again enjoy the atmosphere and surroundings, but for now it will be takeaways.

Just had a lovely cream tea . Staff couldn’t have been more pleasant. We sat outside but place looked spotless. Lots of choice on the menu and COVID measures in place would highly recommend

Our first visit to Remember When today was very good. Really awful weather but such a warm welcome from the staff. Lots of choices on menu & food was beautifully presented. We had quiche, pea & ham soup, smoked salmon & cream cheese sandwich & bacon, Brie & cranberry sandwiches & all were absolutely delicious. The cakes we chose - carrot cake, tiffin & Bakewell tart were superb. Excellent value money. The decor is amazing - congratulations to everyone involved. Full marks to all the staff & many thanks for giving us an unforgettable experience. The Robotham family.

Wonderful vintage tea room with some really interesting artefacts, top marks for whomever was in charge of the fitting out. Two wee tables outside, sadly not in the sun but with good views across the Mersey. Food was tasty and the cuppa spot on.

Weve popped into this cafe many a time over the years ,and must admit the breakfast takes some beating ,from the quality of the food to the friendly staff and owner ,always makes us return time and time again .Hope to return soon for that fab breakfast.

Started our day out here. Unashamedly chosen because we were going to get a bargain of a breakfast. Not only that a fabulous breakfast too. Even at the normal price it is incredible value but this was amazing! It made my day! Thank you. See you all again soon.

Would recommend to everyone. Couldn't fault it. Food 10/10, staff very personable.....I'll be back soon!!

Fabulous afternoon tea very tasty and filling,staff are lovely too friendly,kind and hard working.Up one of the side streets and away from all the crowds,100% recommended.

Had a lovely visit after a nice walk in New Brighton. Food delicious as always and lots of choice. The vegetarian pate was delicious and the gluten free scones too. Highly recommended

From the time you walk in to when you leave you are looked after. It’s like being at your favourite aunts for tea. The girls look after you so well. The food is faultless. Just couldn’t finish all our afternoon tea, but we did bring the rest home with us. The owner is so friendly. The decor takes you back to childhood. Can’t rate this place high enough. Might be a good idea to book.

We ordered Fathers Day Afternoon tea for my Dad and a normal afternoon tea to treat our mum too it arrived early , beautifully presented and very freshly made and everything we asked for they where delighted with their surprise. Thank you so much. Louise, Caroline, Elizabeth and Rebecca x

This place has the most gorgeous home made cakes at a very reasonably price, can't recomend enough. Have tried their homemade soup before lockdown and was spot on

We had 2 Ploughmans Lunches delivered. They were HUGE. Neatly packed in two 10inch x 10inch boxes. At only £10 each. We had virtually no room for dessert. Apparently people also recommend Cream Teas. They have a local delivery service, and recommend phoning the day before on 0151 639 0615

I have visited this tea room with my wife when we have visited New Brighton on several occasions and cannot complain about the food or the service . Well worth a visit and strongly recommend it . With reference to RichardG `s comments as a couple that used to live in Liscard ,Heswall as far as i am aware is roughly 10 mile away not 4 which is not a local delivery area.I just wish some people would get their facts right first

I don`t usually comment on Trip Advisor but could not let this one slip through the net, although having read other comments suggesting this tearoom is a great place to be, please bear in mind, I`m the one, sadly telling you this little business has its bad points too, I fell foul of this yesterday afternoon, with the owner who I believe her name is Lesley Ellis, who explains that she offers free delivery locally but refuses to travel two junctions down the M53 to deliver to Heswall, she was rude, to put it mildly with no apology suggesting that Heswall is too, too, far, four miles to be exact, if I wanted afternoon tea at home, that I should rustle something up myself. If this was not bad enough when I challenged her about her vile comments, she felt instead of trying to work out a solution, she decided to become threatening to inform me that she was going to contact my employer which she had obtained from my facebook.com account, who by the way is not in this equation what so ever, makes me wonder what is going in the cake and scones, never experienced such bad customer service in a long time. One good outcome people I now know there are friendly welcoming tea rooms elsewhere.

I’ve been to this place a few times now. The staff are always very friendly and attentive and the food is lovely. I particularly like the corned beef hash - delicious! It’s very cosy and homely inside and always very welcoming. Seems very popular so I’d recommend you book a table if you’re planning a visit.

Went here with my two friends for tea and catch up, we all had different things and the food was so yummy, the welsh rarebit was to die for and you get two chunky pieces. I had the Rooibos tea absolutely so tasty. The service is second to none so cant wait to go again.

Excellent freshly cooked breakfast in a friendly, welcoming tearoom. Good value for money and will definitely return. On busy weekends it is advisable to book to avoid disappointment.

Fantastic food and amazing service as always. The food is great value and plentiful, I leave stuffed everytime I go.

Me and my girlfriend had afternoon tea. It was great, especially the salmon cream cheese sandwiches. The staff were lovely. We will deffo be coming back.

New Brightons hidden gem Yes Gill B you could consider it expensive Get down the seagull lol if your after a budget meal When you go in you are buying an experience This place could do well VE day celebrations It is what it is vintage tea rooms Think Vera Lynn We'll meet again etc Im only young but it was like going to my nans house when i was a kid Nostalgic Check out my snaps

What an excellent place this is for afternoon tea and more! Staff are very attentive and could not do enough for you! The owner was extremely polite and welcoming and to top it off she was a Liverpool fan! (Excellent Choice ) If you are thinking of booking or going here then do not hesitate and pick up the phone or drop them a message now....... Why are you still reading get booking!!

Food was lovely,we both had breakfast ,lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend this place,looking forward to returning.

Nice cafe until you get the bill 4 sandwiches and a pot of tea £12 I dont mind people making a profit but I dont want to be ripped off.

Met up with an old work colleague for breakfast, he suggested we go to New Brighton. Called in to Remember When and had an excellent freshly cooked full English breakfast. The staff were delightful, really attentive friendly. It was obvious that a lot of the customers are regulars who know the staff well.

We have been here a lot of times and each time gets better! It's our favourite place for afternoon tea a little hidden treasure and a lot of selection!

We have been a number of times whist on our bikes for breakfast which I would say was excellent. Today as usual there was a big friendly hello and welcome from the staff on entry. I had the soup and sandwich combo, soup was home made veg and tasted good, my wife had seafood platter which was excellent. I would certainly say it’s good food and value for money

Visited as a large group for the festive afternoon tea - the staff were wonderful with us, making sure are drinks were always topped up and that everything was okay with our food. Food was wonderful, everything was very fresh and tasted great with a huge range of chocolate/sweet treats to choose from, another plus was everyone got to choose their own sandwiches from the menu and they catered for all dietary requirements. We were there for almost three hours and we weren't rushed out to make space for other customers coming which is something that happens a lot in other restaurants. Would recommend for a visit if you're in the area

So my husband and I were recommended by a friend to come try this cafe,it says on their Facebook page they open at half 9 but it wasn't open till 10am, upon walking in we received a walk welcome and the cafe is done up lovely with all little trinkets, I wouldn't say it was spotless but it was clean. We ordered both ordered a traditional breakfast I didn't like beans or tomato I asked for extra mushroom if possible and poached eggs. When breakfast arrived we ordered extra toast as you only get one slice each with the breakfast. I have no extra mushroom and only the outer layer of the white on the egg was hard and the inside white layer was jellyish and uncooked, so I was not prepared to eat it incase I got food poisoning as I have a very week immune system. No one approached us to ask if our meal was ok till basically the end I explained the issue to the lady to which her response was well you should have asked for it well done. My reply was simply oh I'm sorry I thought when your specify how you want your egg it refers to the yolk. I said I assumed the white would come cooked. Also the server did not ask how I wanted the eggs. She offered to replace the eggs but we had finished our meals so i said no. We were going to purchase a vintage tea each too which was a scone and tea but after the lady's attitude I didn't feel comfortable we hadn't even finished the pot of tea we had but my I sent my husband up with money to pay and we swiftly left. I felt humiliated and embarrassed and my anxiety is through the roof I felt like I was stupid for assuming that the white on the egg must come cooked all the time but what do I know I'm just a customer I don't run a cafe. I'd avoid to be honest but it's up to you try your luck

Having seen Ron W's review I've decided to agree with him and add my own as we could possibly have been in the same time. Very unprofessional and degrading to people who may have had a stoma fitted due to cancer. I for one would not recommend this cafe after hearing the owners derogatory comments, and the soup was definitely not home made...

Gr8 food at reasonable prices. Need to book. It's very popular. Nice soups, quiches. Afternoon teas.

Went with friends yesterday with my infant son. Loved the decor and tasty Welsh Rarebit! My son enjoyed his fishfinger butties! A hidden gem! Thanks x

The food is advertised as fresh and homed made. I don't believe fresh home food can be so unappetising, it was either not home made or not fresh, maybe neither.

I took my 10 year old daughter for afternoon tea and she loved it. Lovely selection of cakes and sandwiches and a friendly vintage atmosphere.

Great little tea room just off the seafront in New Brighton. Me and my husband had the afternoon tea and it was great! The Victoria sponge and ham sandwiches were particularly good. Such a cute little qwerky place, will definitely be back :)

Just off the river front this lovely little tea room will give you a nostalgic blast from the past or a fabulous history lesson. The interior is adorned with pictures and artefacts from innocent times gone by when the beach was crammed with visitors. Tea served in china cups with proper leaves and a strainer has almost disappeared now but is such a nice touch. My seafood platter and my partner's sandwich were both very good and the staff are friendly and efficient. Even the bathroom is full of interesting period curios which will put a smile on your face! Cracking little place and such a different thing to do before a cinema visit.

Train ride then Liverpool underground to New Brighton,

Went here after it being recommended to me and wasn't disappointed.Great food and friendly staff. Like stepping back in time with many artifacts from years past. Had a lovely ploughman's lunch followed by a scone jam and cream. A definite must place to go

Love this tea room - so reminiscent of my childhood. The food is marvellous and the staff are incredible. Love the mis-matched China which reminds me of my frankie's. It's in a part of New Brighton that is being regenerated so a wander up Victoria Road to walk off the delicious food worth it. All in all it's a visit not to be missed.

Yes, we first read about this special character tearooms on the other side of the world in New Zealand. So when we were close by, of course we had to go and visit. Top marks for experience - loaded with character and history, you don’t know where to look first. Every detail, right to the toilet at the back of the tearooms, is true to the theme. It’s a large space, so although popular, you have a good chance of getting a table whenever you visit. The building itself has plenty of character so is an ideal location for a vintage tearooms. The big glass shopfront lets in plenty of light and we were pleased to get a table at the front to enjoy looking out to the street. On the morning we had breakfast here, there was a large group of women in the back room, a craft group, busy knitting, chatting and laughing. This only added to the feeling that we had stepped in to a past era. We ordered the small English breakfasts which were just the right size, and of course we enjoyed the mismatched china that everything is served on. The service is very friendly and welcoming; our meals and drinks came out in good time. Just around the corner is the promenade so after your visit to the tearooms, you can enjoy a stroll along the Mersey looking across to Liverpool. It’s a very lengthy promenade, traffic-free and lined with attractive houses. The perfect way to work off the calories if you have found yourself unable to resist some extra treats at the tearooms. We look forward to returning and trying the full afternoon tea one day.

Having been for a ramble around New Brighton and thoroughly blown off all the cobwebs we spotted this delightful cafe in Victoria road.We went in to get a hot drink(Ha!) and were quickly seduced by the smell of fresh baking and bacon.The order for a bacon and a sausage toastie quickly followed our order for tea and coffee.The decor here is a delight .All the walls are full of old photos of the local area from days gone by.The china plates and teacups and saucers are an artwork on there own.Fresh tea leaves in a teapot,Mr.D had forgotten how to use a tea strainer! The staff are very chatty and obviously take a pride in what they are doing.Keep on doing what you are doing girls,you have got it spot on.Hopefully it won't be long before we can visit again. Now,where can I buy a tea strainer? Pinkwoolyhat

I don't normally preface a review by mentioning the plumbing but when customers keep returning from the loo with wide grins, you know you are in for something a little different. All the delicious cakes and pastries are made fresh each day on the premises, and the afternoon teas look monumental. We had the best caramel cake, orange cake, Bakewell tart, and scones fresh out of the oven. The decor is quirky but comfortable and many of the customers are regulars so the atmosphere is chatty and friendly. The owner and the waitresses are motherly and full of banter.

Visited today for afternoon tea on my birthday. What a hidden gem of a place, The decor is amazing the tea rooms theme is 40s and it really does feel like stepping into the past. The staff are amazing could not do enough for myself my wife and our 7 month old daughter Lyeza. Food was stunning all freshly made, we will be going again very soon highly rated by us

Went there with my family they did a children’s afternoon tea which the kids loved. Amazing place with lots of odds and ends and excellent service.

We stumbled across this utter gem whilst pootling around New Brighton in the glorious sunshine and what a pit stop! Incredible service, fabulous staff, truly delicious cakes and well the toilet facilities!! When you know, you know.....we loved this place and can see how it caters for all. Brilliant finishing touches and so utterly utterly charming.......cannot recommend enough!

Absolutely gorgeous cafe. Best afternoon tea for miles. Homemade cakes are amazing, special mention for the bakewell tart, just delicious. This is a gem of a cafe with lovely staff and food.

We had booked a lunchtime table for 7 as a treat to end our summer holidays, (4 adults 3 children).

I came across this charming Tearoom when out walking in New Brighton. The staff very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea, The food was of great quality and lovely home baked scone and cakes. Very good value for money too, with endless refills of tea. Walk and work up an appetite, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic cafe that goes above and beyond - staff are genuinely friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. The breakfasts are pretty good too!

Called in here for lunch with wife and two grand-kids. Great little place I had the Ploughman's which was excellent and the others enjoyed also. Very clean , friendly staff and good value for money.

I booked an afternoon tea here for my mum, sister and two nieces. Having read all the reviews I was excited to see what it was all about. It was amazing !! so much to see in this little restaurant. Its full of quirky little bits and it is like going back in time My nieces were amazed with the old style telephone, they put rollers in their hair and sat under the hairdryers. The toilet was an adventure in itself, so much to look at. The staff are super friendly and make time to come and chat with you even though they are busy. The afternoon tea was plentiful, all the cakes were homemade and were absolutely gorgeous. We did end up taking some home with us. Absolutely loved this place, fun for all ages.

Fantastic little cafe where you are taken back in time. Excellent decor and a brilliant theme. Drinks where fantastic and freshly made cake was spot on. Very friendly staff eho took time to make conversation with both myself and my daughter!

Called in here while on a walk out in the sunshine. Was extremely busy when we were here at around 12:30. Worth calling ahead to book a table to avoid waiting. Food is really nice and we'll presented. Our tea and coffee was forgotten till after we had eaten, so the owner didn't charge us for them. Nice touch I thought and acknowledgment of their error, so I was more impressed with their policy in this area. Lots of retro photos and other items on the walls. Would really recommend a visit and I will definitely go back.

I have been here twice now. What a gorgeous little gem. Staff work hard to please and are very friendly. Food is gorgeous all freshly prepared. I will be back very soon. Clean, fresh food and loose leaf tea gorgeous and your not rushed.

Dirty. Poor service due to inexperienced young waitresses, and rude and aggressive old one. Food was not fresh.

Retro decor cafe near New Brighton sea front. Good food in interesting surroundings served by friendly staff.

Visited 'Remember When', on 20/07/19 had a lovely experience, chose afternoon tea for 2, excellent selection of sandwiches to choose from, scones with jam and cream plus a good selection of homemade cakes to share, plenty of tea and coffee, the food was great, service fast and efficient, the staff were friendly, courteous,attentive and helpful...had a very enjoyable afternoon will definitely visit again and be telling family and friends...well worth a visit.

Great for afternoon tea. Lovely decor. Food served very nicely. Really nice cakes and scones. Proper tea leaf tea.

Was called in to the smell of freshly brewed coffee, the food is amazing and everything was freshly cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend it to all. Think I may need to make this a regular thing p

Took mother in law out for birthday lunch with other family members and was very impressed with the quality and choice of the food and the surroundings but most of all with the very competent and helpful staff.

I visit Remember When as often as I can, the staff are always very warm and coureous. We always try to reserve a table in advance which is a very easy process. The tea is always served as fresh leaf and hot. The food is all locally sourced and cooked fresh on the day. Ive had a party booking there and have always found I come away wanting to go back again soon.

What an usual Cafe, filled with vintage items. Everything is homemade from soups, sandwiches to meals. Delicious snacks and meals. Lovely staff. Great prices. We’re been here for Breakfast, Brunch and Afternoon Tea.

Popped into this quaint little cafe for breakfast. It is like going back in time. Good quality freshly made food. All served off bone china which makes the tea taste so much better.

I went there with my daughter today. I only wanted soup but what a treat this place is and how it brought back memories. I walked into the toilet and just started to laugh. Potties galore and squares of newspaper on a bit of string. I'm old enough to remember all the things there. I'll be back for a proper meal next time.

This was my second visit here with family for lunch. Lovely, friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, love the fact that you are taken back in time by looking at the decor on the walls and the furniture. Highly recommend the soups and the fish finger sandwich. Cant wait to come back and have the afternoon tea deals
