Sherborne Village Shop and Tea Room in Cotswold

Fab friendly little cafe and shop! Try the local Gin and Rum - especially the "Dark and Stormy" you can have to-go!. Don't pass this by!

Stopped there for a coffee and a slice of Millionaire's shortbread after a walk with the ramblers taking in the local snowdrops. Service was very friendly and the inside of the shop reminded me of how shops were in Victorian times. Certainly it made me think of the grocery shop I saw years ago at Blists Hill Victorian Town in Ironbridge. They still have a rule of a maximum of 3 people in the shop but as long as you abide by their rules you will be just fine. We sat outside and had our drinks and snacks. They also serve sandwiches if you want a light lunch.

I’ve seen a couple of poor reviews of this place, but I found it delightful. They’d run out of sandwiches, but offered to make me one. I decided to just have Sherborne Pud ( sort of bread and butter pudding) and a cup of tea, both of which went down fine, sitting in their lovely, sunny front garden. It’s basically a shop/deli, so don’t expect too much in the way of menu/service - but in an area that seems to have very few residents ( at least during the week) it’s a godsend.

Visited here on our walk, was a lovely day until we bumped into the staff of the shop, very rude, unbelievably so . My wife has recently given birth and still has a weak bladder, we walked a extra distance in the comforting knowledge every tea room has a toilet ... not this one ( , we had every intention of sitting in the garden and having a coffee and a cake but just felt so unwelcome. As for the covid rules, completely respect everyone's circumstances towards it but it is very far fetched in there if it's as bad as they are making out maybe they shouldn't be working with the public . just very unpleasant experience to say the least ! Honestly thought I was some kind of TV as to how the staff were , was waiting for some tv presenter to jump out and say it's all a set up ! We found a lovely pub in barrington called the fox that was very accommodating , I would recommend avoiding the tea room and heading straight to the pub ! ( my review is not based on the fact of no toilet, but just how rude the staff are . Such a shame for a wonderful area !

If you are expecting a coffee shop, this is not the place for you. Very strict COVID precautions, No indoor seating, very rude staff, drinks left outside the door of the shop rather than being bought to you, and absolutely no use of the toilet which is always lovely to hear when you have an 8 year old needing to “go”. This shop appears to be run by tyrannical dictators instead of compassionate human beings. I Won’t be returning.

We were looking for a nice spot for tea during a day trip to the Cotswolds and saw this place online with a strong rating so drove out of our way there. Google had told us that it closed at 5pm and we arrived half an hour before. On arrival, we were told that the tea room had closed but we were welcome to take away tea and sit on the wall outside! We ordered coffee and were told by the grumpy server that they couldn’t give us coffee due to the machine being cleaned. When I asked if I could use the bathroom, I was told that I couldn’t as they had been cleaned. Despite the member of staff hearing that we had a 2 hour drive back to London, she still wouldn’t let us use the lois suggesting we go to Bourton-on-the-Water. Very rude service overall and not reflective of their opening hours. I will be returning to the Cotswolds again but will be 100% avoiding this place.

Good food and an eclectic array of goods to purchase. Cocktails are 👌🏻 And lovely surprise for a little village shop

Visited today for breakfast before enjoying a nice walk around the Sherborne Park Estate (purple and pink routes). A wonderful welcome from the very friendly staff and locals. We both enjoyed lattes. I had a yummy pain aux raisin and my partner had an excellent bacon and egg sandwich. The shop had an amazing selection - basic essentials through to the luxuries and exotics - all displayed most attractively. Do visit, you wont be disappointed. We will be back!

We were on a walk round the Sherborne Estate and called in here for a great cup of coffee and the best bacon sandwich I’ve had for years. What a find - I’ll certainly go out of my way to call in when next in the area

Great homemade food in a great setting,lovely range of snacks and sandwiches, cream teas and more it all looked and tasted wonderful.The owner was very friendly to all customers,don't miss a visit here if passing.

It was a lovely sunny day on Friday, and we were able to have lunch outside. We ate one of their sharing platters - a good quantity of meats, cheese and salad with proper bread for about £18. The wasps were a bit of a nuisance, but overall it is a pleasant place for a relaxed lunch. Service is quite slow, so don't be in a hurry if you are eating!

A real local gem with full sun, outdoor seating (about 5-6 tables). Attentive service, well catering to allergies. The shop also sells a good selection of allergy friendly options. Meals are modest but nice. Drinks are not too sweet! This is the perfect 34 minutes extra walk added onto a Great Rissington circular walk (--the one starting and ending at the church). We had a grumpy and disrespectful guest with us, and the staff generously and professionally allowed his rudeness to glide right off.

We stop here occassionally for a drink and a cake. We've always found service to be good, fair prices and friendly welcome. Outside is nice when it's warm. Only a few small tables inside, but it's cosy.Cakes are nice and yet to try a breakfast there, soon hopefully

5* food and 5* hosts. The scrambled eggs and bacon on toast was the best I’ve ever had... deep orange eggs and bacon so fresh and thick it almost tasted like a gammon steak. I would definitely come back whenever in the area :)

We called here for lunch. The tuna sandwich was good, as was the tea but the cream tea was horrible. Microwaved scones which resulted in flabby, soggy scones with melted clotted cream even after splitting and waiting. I asked for a cold scone. Offhand answer - 'They're frozen then microwaved'.Afterwards told proprietor who used the old chestnut 'I've never had a complaint before'. She questioned my judgement (I'm English - I know my scones!). Money back but a depressing example of customer service. Avoid.

Five of us stopped here on a glorious bike ride for some light refreshments on the hottest day of the year so far. We were greeted by a grumpy lady saying the cafe had closed for food, but they could serve us cold drinks. I happily stuck my head in the fridge to cool off and retrieve 5 icy cold cans of fizzy pop. The tumble weed moment and another grumpy response from the lady came when we asked if they could fill our water bottles up. She said “all of them”. You would have thought we had asked her to trek to the middle of the Gobi desert to find water. Kudos goes to the young lad who was very helpful as I think he was fairly embarrassed. We wanted cooling down, but the frosty welcome wasn’t what we expected!

In addition to the impressive arrays of baked goods, coffees, wines, and teas, we were treated to exceptional warmth and hospitality! A special shout-out to Jonathan who helped two weary travelers get to the next village.

Stopped off here as mid point on a walking trail for a light lunch, sat in the garden with Bongo ( the cocker spaniel), had the best beans and cheese on toast followed by a delicious slice of cherry and almond cake you could wish for. The tea shop has a wonderful “miss marple” feel to it - all rock cakes and backstabbing at the vicarage gossipy sort of place. An absolute gem, staff very friendly, food excellent and well priced. Step back in time for a while and treat yourself to a visit here, you won’t regret it.

Pretty little place, food delicious but sadly coffee average. Very long wait for food, ridiculously so considering the amount of people to be served. Young lad serving was trying very hard to be attentive, pleasant young waiter.

Having done. Big walk with our dogs around the park we stopped for tea, coffee and bacon sarnies. A wonderful little shop and the food was great, but it isn’t the warm welcome and service that made our day. Pure village heaven. Every village should have one of these. I wish mine did! Nice wee garden out front too.

Beautiful small shop with a cafe built in. We visited after a walk close by and loved it! There are only a few tables as the cafe is really an extension of the shop but it's so cute and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Sandwiches, fresh cakes, and a couple of hot options available, we had afternoon tea at £9.45 (tea, sandwiches, cake, scone) or just have a bacon sandwich at about £4.50 I think. All on fresh bread and good coffee available. A super find!

Really interesting place. Large menu but only wanted a sandwich and pot of tea. Service was very good, Sandwich was a doorstop with miles too thick bread, and I like other people their left most of the bread which was not that tasty. Shame as it is so nice a place

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch here after a walk on nearby National Trust land. One of the best BLT sandwiches I've ever had -- freshly prepared, delicious bread and very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Best food. Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly staff. The heart of the village. You can have high tea, sandwiches, or a full meal. Wine and cheese in abundance.

This is an excellent place for lunch or snacks. The food is delicious and the service is superb. Owners and staff always make time to chat and get to know regulars. Can’t believe the range of groceries they stock and have regularly bought gifts from the selection they carry. Great to walk down through the wood from the National Trust car park, have a coffee and walk back.

My wife & I went for a walk in the Sherborne estate after the walk we visited this tea room for a small bite to eat, we had a pot of tea and two cheese ploughmans lunches, everything about the food was fantastic and so tasty, the lady who served our food suggested that if we needed more hot water for our tea pot to pop in to the shop and if we were unable to finish our meal she would happily make up a doggie bag, even our dog Nell was not overlooked, she had a few complimentary doggie biscuits, so if you do happen to visit Sherborne, make some time to visit this tea room, you will be glad to did.

If you are accommodated in the Sherborne, Windrush, or Barrington areas and do a morning walk, run or cycle - head here for your coffee and even a surprisingly good and very reasonably priced breakfast.

Moved a table 5 inches so that my wife could be in a little more shade on a hot day. Lady serving came out and insisted that I return the table to its previous position because "otherwise the next person will wonder why it isn't level". Ridiculous but this wasn't my first visit and I've noticed that the attitude toward customers is getting more and more combative and certainly becoming less child friendly.

Great location, food fine, but the two female members of staff that I have dealt with on separate occasions need a course on customer care. An abrupt manner verging on rudeness. Whatever problem they may be facing is not any fault of their clientele. Will not give it another chance.

Grumpy owners, huffing and puffing- not child friendly. Avoid if you have anybody in your party aged under 16!

I have been to Sherborne before but my wife hasn't so as it was a beautiful day we decided to spend our anniversary having a wander around the lovely estate. Halfway round we needed some refreshments so popped in to the shop. We had a couple of delicious fruit smoothies and a lovely slice of chocolate cake that was all brought to our table. The staff were very friendly and chatty and the shop is like an aladins cave. Well worth a visit if you are walking or cycling in the area.

Listed as a tea shop/village stores but turns out to be loads more. It's very small but there are tables outside, and inside the small shop a wonderfully unexpected selection of interesting wines and spirits, fresh and local cheeses, charcuterie, beautiful fresh shiny

Fantastic location, lovely old school shop with local produce AND great cafe food, large menu that caters for most. CHECK their web site...

The café does not do fast but as long as you are not in a hurry that doesn't matter. Sit back and enjoy the sunshine ( if you are lucky enough to choose a sunny day) and relax. Our salads took over 30 minutes to arrive but we expect a wait here and don't mind. The food when it came was worth waiting for, although the avocado was a bit underripe. It is best to go on a warm sunny day as there is limited seating inside.

Such a lovely find stoped off after lovely walk .The food was freshly made and so tasty .The shop is full of great food finds and gifts .Can't wait to go back .

We arrived 10 mins before closing time on a cold wet Saturday afternoon and were warmly welcomed in. No "sorry we are just closing". Thank you. We enjoyed a great cup of tea (soya milk available) and warmed up to in a cosy tea room. Keen to come back on a sunny summer day and see the garden and linger for longer.

One of the ladies said to me 'put it down'. I only picked up a left over coffee biscuit. Then she told me to get of the grass. Sherborne is a nice place but the lady wasn't. I hope I don't meet her again.

We have visited the Sherborne Village Shop and Tea Room on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed the experience. We called for lunch recently and, as usual, the food was lovely (the purple sprouting and cheddar soup was a delight). Most of the staff were pleasant and very helpful as usual.

Excellent, friendly service and a most welcome cup of coffee and delicious cake after a most enjoyable walk around the Sherborne Estate.

Este fue un verdadero hallazgo. Una tienda diminuta aldea y sala de té con un extenso menú de almuerzo. Favoritos y comidas ligeras gourmet. También con licencia con una tabla de ofertas de bebidas. Todo está recién preparada y deliciosa. El personal es tan encantador, atento y entusiasta. Que me vuelva loca en este siempre así que mi consejo es ir y probar por tí mismo.

Este lugar es de lo mejor en un día soleado, cuando puede sentarse fuera y disfrutar del sol. Hay una pequeña selección de ensaladas, bocadillos, etc. en oferta que hacen un sabroso almuerzo ligero. O puede elegir un plato de carne (normalmente compartida, a veces de queso). El servicio no es rápido, pero no quiero ser prisa cuando estás disfrutando del sol!

We had picked some local walking leaflets at the nearby National Trust property. As we wandered along one of the routes, we found ourselves passing this little gem. Thankfully the weather was good enough to sit outside. We had tea and cakes which were delicious...

A menudo nos tomamos el paseo alrededor de Sherborne con el perro, pero nunca nos dimos cuenta de que la tienda y salón de té era abierta el domingo. Como estaba más caliente que un día normal, los inviernos que aprovechó la oportunidad para sentarse fuera medio nuestro paseo y disfrutar de un café y té a precios muy razonables. Esta vez no tienen nada para comer, pero el pastel se veía muy tentadora probablemente la próxima vez! No obstante, comprar algunos de los productos que fue excelente. Los dueños son muy acogedores y sirve las bebidas fuera de nosotros, pero hay mesa fuera y Mollie el perro estaba muy impresionado cuando me dio un perrito regalo. Abierto de 10 - 4 en un domingo. Por favor, apoyen, ya que es bonito ver a una tienda como ésta.

Yvonne y Sarah abrió desde su tienda, el pueblo ha adquirido un centro social, y senderistas y ciclistas (y sus perros) tienen un lugar para descansar y energizarnos. Sirven el café, pasteles caseros, desayunos, sopas, sándwiches y mucho más. Parece que las existencias de casi...

I reckon that we've stopped off for coffee/cake/food/groceries about three time a month for quite a number of years. What brings us back so regularly is the time and effort the team put into the food, service and general bonhomie. They aim to source as much as they can locally and the quality of the food is always excellent. Most, if not all, of the cakes are baked freshly in-house and are always imaginative, tasty and low fat (at least that what Sarah says when I ask for a chocolate cake).The shop is the heart of the village and though we're not from the village it is always enjoyable to be able to stop and chat to the team, regulars and visitors. It's a really lovely place to stop, with great team all conducted by Yvonne and Sarah. Keep up the great work.

We stopped for a late lunch after walking in the Windrush valley. Inside it's more shop than cafe with only three tables available. Outside on the lawn there are another half a dozen tables, and on a good day that's the place to be.My bacon and brie panini was superb, and my wife thought the broccoli soup to be very good. Service is friendly and attentive. Lots of things to buy inside. How often do you find a village shop that sells a dozen different whiskies, and half a dozen different gins.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely walk around Sherbourne then stopped at the village shop/tea rooms . My husband really enjoyed the delicious freshly made breakfast and I enjoyed a great coffee and walnut and banana cake . We also bought some lovely Xmas things in the shop .

We zlways stop off at this delightful shop and tearoom when on our walks around the Sherborne Estate. It is run by two genuinely hospitable ladies whe take time to ensure your satisfaction. Today we had the pleasure of a cheese tasting, with some wine samples too. The cheeses were particularly 'Autumn' cheeses, several local and one two delightful French cheeses. We were given information from a very well informed owner, Yvonne. All of the cheeses were delicious, and very excellent wines were recommended to accompany them. Well done ladies.........we'll be back to stock up nearer Christmas!

My family and I drop in here every couple of weeks whilst walking around Sherborne estate for tea/coffee and food. Everything we have tried from the menu has been absolutely delicious and made from good quality 'local' produce. Would heartily recommend to anyone!

My husband and I were married in Broadway and have been visiting and exploring the villages nearby for the last five years. As we love visiting the many tea rooms scattered around the area we were delighted to have found Sherborne Village Shop and Tea Room and must admit what a point of difference it had to offer over and above the rest. We loved the situation of the shop, the food was delicious and served timely and the staff were all friendly and helpful (they even advised us where to take a trip to the next day)! Fabulous establishment and a credit to the owners!

Whilst enjoying a lovely walk in the Cotswolds my partner and I came across this tea shop. Feeling a little hungry we decided to pop in for a snack. On entering the building we were not greeted at all by the three staff members who were chatting to a lady at the counter. We asked for a sandwich that was in the display cabinet, which we were handed and as I went to pay for that and some other items we had picked I was told abruptly and rudely that there was only one till! I handed the goods to my partner to pay for and sat at one of the three empty tables. He waited patiently whilst the (local) lady who was still at the counter chatted and talked and chatted and talked to the staff. Ignored and not acknowledged we were about to leave when finally they served us to then be told we could not eat our food at the three empty tables because the sandwich was in fact takeaway only. So after spending almost £7 we had to eat our food in the chilly outside. The customer service here is one of the worst I have ever experienced. The staff were ignorant, rude and verging on hostile. I'm an advocate for small businesses and think its a tragedy when local shops cease to trade anymore through lack of customers so you would think they would be happy with some extra income.

Visited whilst touring the Cotswolds, so glad we stopped, great lunch, generous portions and followed a delicious quiche with a great slice of homemade cake. Well worth a visit.

Staff very helpful,food excellant would recomend family visits. Value for money. Thanks for a pleasent experience.

On a tour of the Cotswolds and around 12 of the group decided to pop into the tea room for a quick coffee. Coffee was average but staff working there were rude and direct to customers. One customer I saw was told off for flicking though a magazine they were going to buy then told to move away from the counter when in conversation with another customer! This is not how you treat your customers! Coffee's werent cheap and customer service was none! My experience... rude!

Set in pretty location, was fairly busy when we stopped by. Had the scones but tasted a little stale, took back to our holiday accommodation a loaf of cheese and onion bread from the shop. Later that evening while enjoying our meal with the bread my father suddenly went "yuck, look at this" and proceeded to pull, from the slice of onion bread, a very long red hair that had been cooked into the loaf. It certainly wasn't one of ours as we are all dark or grey haired. Staff were friendly enough but the locals sat inside were far from friendly. I plan on returning to the area but wouldn't return to this tearoom.

Dropped in for coffee and tea mid-morning as we walked through the village and it was so nice - good drinks, lovely setting (admittedly on a sunny day in October) and a friendly welcome - that we returned mid-afternoon for something to eatDevon Duck and Breton Chicken pies with saute potatos were a real treatThe shop has a prestigeous selection of quality wine - Chateau Musar and Nuit-St Georges caught my eye, so you will be tempted. Oh, and they do cash-back which was useful!

We live only a few miles away from the Village shop and have become addicted to it. Not only is it a great Deli with the best fresh vegetables around, the buffalo mozzarella is historic.But it's the great service of S.J. and Yvonne, the two passionate owners and their great staff led by Mary that make this a home from home. Highly recommended.

A quintessential English countryside tea house and shop. It couldn't be better or more authentic. The food is SUPERB! I really love the salads. Great scones. Fabulous coffee. Fun snacks and little gifts to buy. WONDERFUL owners and lovely staff. It's a jewel. You won't be disappointed.... unless you want really fast food service on a busy weekend. It's made to order! Take your time and enjoy the scenery. It'll be worth the wait. It's nice to stay inside and lovely outside on the lawn for afternoon tea. They're pet-friendly, too.

After completing a circular walk in the nearby NT estate, we visited this local village shop and enjoyed an excellent lunch sitting outside. I had a smoked chicken salad and my wife had a ham and mustard sandwiches. We had a large pot of tea served with a china tea set. I then had a a slice of Victoria sponge and my wife had elderflower drizzle cake which were excellent . It all came to around £21 - excellent value for the quality of food provided. Great friendly service. Top notch.

This is the Cotswolds at its most relaxed. We had a shared platter consisting of home cooked pork pie and ham, cheese, bread, tomatoes and chutney. It was a generous portion for two, priced at £15.95. Most people were sitting outside in the quiet tea garden, enjoying a very pleasant sunny afternoon.

We had been walking quite long hours in Sherborne Park, unfortunately no tea room inside the Park. When we came out at the end of the exit of the Park, to our surprise and relieved to see a little village shop and a nice outdoor garden tea room.We went there in the late afternoon, no one was there, we sat down and I enjoyed walking along that village while we were waiting for the tea and home made scone.Here we were at a place of no tearoom and suddenly this little cute and quiet outdoor nice garden to have an afternoon tea was a big treat for us.This was a nice little village with a shop and tea room. A must visit and find after walking for few hours.

My wife and I just completed a walk from Sherborne to Windrush and back and my usual criteria for a country walk, a pub, was sorely lacking. Question: how can two quite large villages not have a pub between them? Anyway, to the rescue came the Tea room. It was a beautiful afternoon and we sat in the garden at the end of 7 miles with our tea and cake (Italian celebration was v good) and the service was friendly and welcoming. Proper pot of tea as well.

I've had lunch here a few times, and it never disappoints. Lovely coffees, cakes and meals, with some pizazz. The staff are very helpful and dedicated, and there is a cornucopia of foodie delights. Well worth a visit!!!!!

This tea room in Sherborne is delightful as are the ladies who run it. Lunch and coffee, and baby chinos were all good and my granddaughter enjoyed her fish finger sandwiches. Would certainly call in again if we are in the area.

First visit to Sherborne, call ed for coffee and toasted teacakes after our walk.Brilliant shop has so many good things.Coffee and food lovely, very pleasant service, even brought a biscuit for our dog.Made the visit to Sherborne memorable.

We went on the National Trust walk and came across this delightful little village tea room and shop.Had a nice coffee and purchased cheese.Lovely friendly staff. A visit is a must

I hesitated to recommend this as I'd like to keep it a secret!We having been going a couple of tines a week whenever we are home- it's amazing! Fantastic coffee, cakes, lunches and health shots. Loads of health conscious groceries including organic. Fantastic for breakfast, coffee, lunch or afternoon tea- it's worth diverting from your journey to pay this place a visit. Well done to the ladies who own it.

How do you describe a warm spring afternoon in the sun, on a lawn surrounded by tulips and budding flowers in the borders, with a friendly smile serving you up a warm scone with fruity jam and clotted cream, and beautiful trees overhead in a stunning Cotswold village? Easy! 'The Sherborne Village Shop and Tea Room'. This is a hidden gem. I bless the people who run it. It's a place where you just have to feel happy. I long to return.

On a grey Sunday lunchtime, after visiting a nearby National Trust Lodge, we dropped into The Sherborne Village Shop and it was just wonderful. The two ladies who run it are real treasures who make everyone feel welcome. We only had coffee, earl grey tea a bacon sandwich and two toasted tea cakes but they were excellent. Local butter, spread on Hobbs House bread and locally sourced bacon too. No wonder they have been nominated as one of the top village shops in the UK.

Stopped in during a woodland walk, friendly and quick service, we both had a sandwich which was very fresh and filling was plentiful.

Visited whilst staying in Sherborne for a few days recently. Wonderful little store, full of everything to tempt you and lovely coffee and homemade served as well....recommend the Irish Tea Cake!!!

Don't be deceived by the unassuming exterior, inside is an amazing array of locally sourced and exotic goods, especially food. There is also a wide selection of food on offer in the cafe. I had the venison our, which was delicious, my wife had the vegetarian pie which was also excellent. The service was extremely friendly and we were made to feel completely welcome. I would definitely recommend this place.

Stopped off in this little shop and tea room on our National Trust walk. Interesting things to buy and lovely cakes but poor service. My husband waited to be served and was acknowledged by the waitress but she allowed a local lady to push past him and took her order instead. My husband felt overlooked not being a local.

We have been in the area for the last 6 weeks & the Village Shop had been the GO TO place for excellent coffee & banter. Recommend the scrambled eggs. As the local corner shop it has a wide variety of food & produce. It is also the Post Office. Welcoming & friendly staff make the difference every time!

This is a staggeringly nice little shop - a combination of nicely old-fashioned and really up-to-date - and delightful cafe/tea-room. Inside/outside, it's a treat whatever the weather!

c'est agréable de prendre le thé dehors par beau temps dans un village à l'écart des touristes.Les scones sont de qualité moyenne mais la clotted cream est divine et servie en quantité dans un grand bol.

Sells everything from Mozzarella to Italian Aubergines with candles, bread, meat and tinned goods in between. Also is a superb coffee shop/tea rooms with in and outdoor seating. Not to be missed if you are in the area.

You are made to feel welcome whether you are a shop customer or a tearoom guest. Lovely sitting outside on a good day. Quaint china; yummy home baking (pineapple upside down cake was very good) and the ideal location. The shop has an incredible stock given it's quite small. Loved our visits here last year and did not disappoint this year - would thoroughly recommend it!

Lovely little garden outside the tea room. Lovely place to stop. Nice big pot of tea, fantastic red velvet cake, beautiful small lemon pastries & small chocolate/nut tarts. Really worth the stop.

Such a warm welcome was delivered when we arrived today. We ordered two cream teas and sat in the garden after a walk around Sherborne. The attention to detail was first rate. The scones were still warm and tasted yummy. Plenty of jam and so much cream we could not eat it all. Beautiful China and the plates was even dusted in icing sugar. We were invited to sit back and relax as we ate. The whole experience was first class and the shop is a massive credit to the village. Well done to all the staff.

We have become addicted to this little gem. The delicious food, the fabulous selection of groceries in the deli, and the most welcoming hosts and staff make this place home from home. A real treasure.

This is quite out of the way, and is a genuine treat in the countryside. It is especially nice on a sunny day when you can sit outside and relax. The menu is not extensive, especially for larger meals, and the service can be quite slow. So make sure you're not in a hurry, and enjoy the sunshine. We had a choice of two salads or a platter to share, and went for the two salads. You can also get soup or sandwiches, or some lighter cooked options. Well worth the detour from the A40.

Situated in the heart of Sherborne, this is a popular and bustling tea room where you can indulge in a well earned cuppa and a delicious variety of cakes,on the lawn or inside at their little tables.Walkers and cyclists can have a stopover here ,what a great treat!I had the tiffin and a lemon pastry with my tea served in a proper china cup .Friendly staff ,prices very reasonable,also sells fresh cheese ,fresh veg,alcohol to take away,gifts and a huge selection of speciality produce.Great to find this little gem,just so lovely!

This is a very cosy and eclectic shop in the heart of village.Second visit here after walking in the area.Menu and food quality well above average.Order a pot of tea and that's what you get, not one of those nasty little stainless pots with barely enough for a decent drink.Cakes first class. Meal on previous visit brilliant.Recommended....Value exceptional for area.

We visited this shop on 1st March. It's a great place to go to after a walk round the village and estate. I had the best cheese and onion on toast I've had in a long time - made with lovely brown bread and the local White Valley Mature cheddar. My friend loved her fish finger sandwich too. Highly recommended, with friendly staff and in a great location.

What can I say about this place, other than it's the best tea room and village shop that I have ever been to. We are local to the area and often visit for a cup of tea and a little naughty something. The staff are brilliant and super friendly. All of the food is homemade and locally sourced. The shop always has interesting things to buy ranging from newspapers to wonderful little-known French cheeses.Go for a walk in the Cotswolds and then come here for refreshments.

Visited today for the first time. Very friendly village store that 's also a cafe . Serves delicious home cooked food.Varied menu and all food was exceptional quality. Recommend the bacon sandwiches and cakes. Excellent coffee. Good service. We were made to feel welcome despite our muddy walking clothes. We had a table inside, but seating is available in the garden too. A great little place and ideal for refreshments if you're visiting to see the snowdrops all round this beautiful Cotswold village. The best village store by far.
