Shippon Tea Rooms in Staffordshire Moorlands

Had a wonderful visit this afternoon with my Mum. We went for the afternoon tea and we were not disappointed. For £12.50 each, we have two cakes, a scone each with all the trimmings, a selection of sandwiches and a pot of tea! Good value for money. The staff were polite and friendly. When visiting, make sure to pre-book your afternoon tea! Will be attending again. 100% recommend if you love your afternoon tea! There is also a lovely sitting area and garden outside for when the weather is a little bit warmer!

Visited with a church group, the servers were good humoured and, without being "pushy" entered into the comments from the group. The cream tea was really good with tasty scones and ample cream, butter and jam. The surroundings are immaculately clean. Cannoy be faulted.

Had a fab visit with a friend today. Even if tea leaf reading is not your thing go anyway. Lovely setting very lovely hosts and sandwich and cake was delicious. Highly recommend

I had a lovely time the staff were lovely and made you feel welcome, The afternoon tea was lovely the sandwiches were so fresh and lots of filling in them, The tea leaf reading was very interesting , it was very close I new a lot of what the lady told me . Would go again.

Was treated to afternoon tea by our son and daughter. Had a 'proper pot of Yorkshire tea' in a beautiful tea pot with a nice selection of sandwiched with two sooo light profiteroles, a chocolate muffin with chocolate buttercream and a melt in the mouth slice of lemon cheesecake. To finish there ware two scones with a pot of jam and a pot of clotted cream.The whole experience was a treat to behold along with the very friendly and helpful staff. It might be miles from where my wife and I live but we will be returning.

A fabulous place,welcoming,cosy,beautiful food and lovely surroundings.The owners are very friendly and chatty and the tea leaf reading is a must! Absolutely fascinating and spookily accurate.The homity pie definitely recommended and the sandwiches and cakes were also really good.Real clotted cream scone with jam is amazing.One of our group are gluten free and this was no problem at all.Will definitely be back very soon.A little gem of a place 👍🏻

We had a witches tea which includes sandwiches, cake, pot of tea & had out tea leafs read which was very interesting & could relate to everything she told me. Great place,lovely food & friendly people, already booked in for another visit.

What a fantastic find this place is!! We went yesterday as a treat for my wife's birthday and along with all the other guests there enjoyed every minite of it. The place is quite small but in the summer they also use the outside. It's very quaint and traditional but immaculately clean and your hosts can't do enough for you with any special requests always dealt with. They serve a great variety of food but we all went for the afternoon tea and were not disappointed with a great selection of sandwiches and cakes. We didn't manage to eat it all despite our best efforts but were given doggy bags to take home for later on!! As I said at the start this place is a real find and we will be back again that's for sure and certainly would recommend it to anyone that's for sure. 5 STAR!!

We had a lovely time here .we had the homity pie which is a ww2 type meal , potatoes,onions n cheese,it was delicious.we also had cream tea which was also delicious.they play 1930s music which was lovely n it's table service n the waitress is dresses in old maid style outfits .it really is a lovely small place will definitely be returning .just remember to bring cash has they have no card facilities .😁

Absolutely wonderful little find, Excellent cream teas, Severed with a smile, Everything and more besides Cakes to die for,This is what England's all about First class,

Amazing Witches tea! The sandwiches and scones were delicious and the staff were so friendly and knew their stuff.

This tea room is well worth a visit,the portions are generous and served by most pleasant staff, they have a good choice on the Menu,the food is all freshly prepared. The Witches tea is good value and is entertaining when you get to read your tea leaves,it’s surprising what you can find in the cup,most enjoyable

We went today for afternoon tea. From the moment you walk through the door you are made to feel welcome. The food is all freshly made and lots of it. We will be returning soon.

My family and I went to the Shippon Tea Rooms to celebrate my dear mum's 70th birthday. We were greeted by 'Mike the Hooting Owl' (a charming novelty toy on the counter) and the two lovely owners, Pauline and Charlotte. The atmosphere in the tea room is tranquil and very relaxing and both the food and service were superb. My little boy absolutely loved the cream of vegetable soup and the Homity pie was so delicious that I wanted to try and make it over the Easter holidays at home. My mum really struggles with food combinations due to her poorly stomach, but Charlotte and Pauline managed to accommodate her needs and nothing was too much trouble to make her day special. My boyfriend and I have since been back to the tea rooms where again the food was delicious. It is fast becoming one of our favourite eating places and I would highly recommend it to all. Thank you so much.

Utterly charming and exquisitely quaint. A truly wonderful afternoon tea room experience from a bygone era.

must be good we couldnt fit into the car park,even after waiting for quite a while, we will be giving it another go at a less busy time. looking forward to it.

Great location. Set in the middle of no where in the Staffordshire moorlands I think. Free parking. Not a large menu. But there again, this is a tea room not a restaurant. Accommodating staff. Made me a breakfast order outside the breakfast times. Lovely omelette with fresh salad. Good coffee. Have been before and enjoyed each visit.

LOvely atmosphere ....had soup and bread and pot of earl grey ..atmosphere cosy and relaxed ..waitress very friendly ..

Lovely afternoon tea for my mother in laws birthday. We visited on the 21 st December with 5 adults and 4 children. The children had their own table and sandwiches (nice and simple) and they had ice cream and cake for dessert. The adults had a regal high tea, festive sandwiches and cakes. Lovely food and great service. My only reservation were the puddings which were very Xmas themed (eg plum pudding and mince pies) and not to everyone’s taste.

Have visited several times, as I live locally, and have always been warmly welcomed and beautifully fed.

Well, we were all delighted with this afternoon tea in a very quaint setting. Four of us celebrated 280 years of life ,fun, friendship , marriage , children , and Grandchildren , in this lovely very unique café / tearoom. The sandwiches and cakes were delightful, alas too much for us ,but great we were issued with high class Doggie bags to take the remainder of our treats home with us. Please try it . They also do other light menus for lunch.

What a lovely place to eat, drink and relax. Luckily this place was recommended to me as I would have never known about it. Decided to try it out for my birthday lunch with my sister. Went hoping to have Afternoon Tea but it was not available as we had not booked. Fortunately for us though, Homity Pie was on the menu. It was lovely - so tasty. With a pot of tea and scone, we had a lovely lunch whilst spending quality family time. Staff are friendly and attentive. Will certainly be recommending to others.

What a find this place was.We were hoping for afternoon tea but you have to book,however this gave us the chance to try Homity Pie,it was so tasty and well presented,also the cream tea was lovely.The ladies were lovely to chat to,and the tea rooms are clean and welcoming.This place will now be on my list of places to eat and can,t wait for my next slice of Homity Pie.

As ever looked after as soon as we arrived, service faultless and the afternoon tea a real treat. Perfect what a way to spend an afternoon 🍰

What a delightful place to pause for a drink whilst you are in the area. Super service from friendly staff and quirky touches e.g. The menu was inside a book. Loved it!

As a large group the tea rooms was our private venue for the afternoon. Lovely setting, with staff wearing Victorian costume, there was plenty of tea or coffee available, quite plain style sandwiches, but the highlight for me being the gorgeous scones ! It would have been nice to have a wider choice of tea (green, herbal or fruit). Overall a lovely tea room.

Just a beautiful experience we have been a few times and always faultless the ladies are a credit the food is a delight. Can't wait to return to this little gem. Thank you

We elected to try out this pretty tea room for our mum's 88th birthday. The location is certainly off the beaten-track, up high on a ridge overlooking the Cheshire plain and with lovely views in all directions.

Lovely spot - in the sunshine! Beautiful gardens. The set tea menu is huge - cakes, scones, profiteroles, sandwiches as well as pots of tea! Great service. A real find!

Popped in. Off the beaten track. Made welcome. Really relaxed and cozy place with a homely atmosphere. Lovely unusual touches and spotless facilities.

We took the Mother-in-Law here for a Mother's Day treat. The food and service are excellent and the staff are very friendly. Can't say enough about this lovely traditional restaurant. The staff dress in Victorian Style Dress, and you can sample Homity Pie that dates back to the war. We ordered afternoon tea,which is an excellent way to sample the delights produced here. All sorts of other sandwiches and cakes to try so give it a go, you won't be disappointed. Rob

This was my second visit, tea with a friend on her birthday. Where to to go due to time constraints was the order of the day. Friendly staff great atmosphere and chatty locals and excellent surroundings.

Take afternoon tea or just for lunch a lovely olde world experience, good for birthday treat or just because you can

What a lovely afternoon treat! Lovely fresh food and delightful cakes. Really friendly staff too. We will definitely be returning.

A warm friendly welcome awaits you at the Shippon tearoom. The traditional tearoom is charming and is imaculately clean. There's a good variety of food to choose from on the menu...and the cakes are fabulous!

Visiting the tearooms after a day in stoke. This tea room Is simply devine, it's a gorgeous room with superb food to match. Thank you ladies for making my 30th birthday extra special x

Went with a party of 11 ladies for afternoon tea and it was absolutely superb. The food was delicious and we were each given a paper bag to take home any food that we could not manage to finish. The service was excellent and the waitresses were dressed in victorian style. The lunch menu was also excellent. I cannot recommend the shippon tearooms highly enough.

I had the soup and a sandwich it was delicious very fresh and very tasty followed by a scone with clotted cream and jam ,served by 2 lovely lady's one lady told us about the history of the building of the tea shop ,the tea shop and surrounding area beautiful with stunning views and I can say well worth a visit .

Second visit to the Tea Rooms. We had afternoon tea on the first visit - absolutely delicious and very fresh. We chose homemade sweet potato & coconut soup on our second visit which was devine! Nothing too much trouble for the lovely hosts. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed!

Arrived here hungry and thirsty when long distance travelling. Beautiful, off the beaten path location ten minute drive outside Biddulph overlooking Staffordshire Moorlands. Tearooms overlook beautiful garden and, weather permitting, you can also sit outside in the next door field/grassy patch at bench/tables provided. Afternoon tea was splendid - chunky cheese and chutney sandwich, sizeable slice of home-made coffee cake and large pot of strong tea. Service was very friendly without being intrusive. Simple but perfectly executed tearoom formula. I will return soon.

Revisited the tea rooms with sister who hadn't been before. The ladies who serve are in period costume and very helpful.. New edition to the menu was a "Witches Tea" - sandwich, lovely cake, some salad and a pot of tea. Food presented on a tiered cake stand. Delightful. And you get to read your own tea leaves (instructions included!) the menu isn't large, mostly cake and a variety of hot/cold sandwiches. Soup. Also a salmon pasta bake. Children's portions available. No meat on the menu on this visit. This remains a lovely tea room to visit and eat. Spectacular location. Love it.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch....mushroom soup is SUPERB ! Only open Thursday to Sunday. Will definitely return.

I was treated to afternoon tea, it was first class from the moment you stepped inside the barn door a very enthusiastic welcome, you made to feel that nothing was too much trouble. The sandwiches and cakes were delicious well worth a visit.

Great location. Lovely staff. Fabulous afternoon tea. Really good value. Cakes to die for! Well worth a visit.

We called here after hearing a few good reports following it being opened. We were made to feel very welcome and the service was professional but not pushy. The drinks were superb and very reasonablely priced. There was a good selection of home made cakes and cream teas but limited hot food

Had a lovely time here for the mothers day afternoon tea, the staff are very friendly and go out of there way to make sure you have everything you need. A good selection of cakes which tasted amazing.

We popped in today as a family. (we are local) My wife had been previously and been very impressed. What can I say? What a fantastic, amazing, classy Tea Room this is. From the moment you walk in you get a most warm welcome from Pauline & Charlotte. The decor is lovely (please see my photos) and there is a nice cosy atmosphere. We went for lunch and my wife had the superb Homity Pie (I managed to taste a bit!) Really tasty. My choice was a lovely, fresh homemade tomato soup with a cheese & Branston sandwich. Both lovely..so fresh. We also had a slice of chocolate cake to take out. Very good! The Team Room is situated in a gorgeous setting..you need to visit the area, it is stunning. (Horton Common caravan site nearby). We thoroughly recommend Shippon Tea Rooms and will visit again.

I think the tea rooms are destined to become a secret treasure of the Moorlands. The afternoon teas are a pleasure and so authentic. The warmth and efficiency of the service is second to none. A brilliant idea for the approaching Mothers Day, such a lovely setting every mum will love it. I would recommend booking though as I am sure that they are going to be very busy.

Called in with a group of cycling friends, although the staff were not expecting us, they gave us a very warm welcome. Food served was enjoyed by all, with portion sizes very generous. It was a lovely place to stop on a cold day, with a lovely warm stove burning. Looking forward to a return visit on a warm summer day, but not the hill climb on the bike. A lovely place.

Called by chance a couple of weeks ago, to a warm and friendly welcome. Add to that the delicious home made cakes, and some decent china! and we decided it was well worth a second visit. We booked the Downton Abby afternoon tea, and took friends with us. A truly pleasant afternoon, and Charlotte certainly likes to do her research. Will definitely go again .

Four of us had Afternoon Tea here last Saturday, which was delicious, a good variety of sandwiches and cakes, plus crackers and pate. During the month of December they had an Downton Abbey Theme, which made it all the more special and atmospheric, especially with the Christmas decorations and log burner, which was very much appreciated due to the horrendous weather outside. Food delicious, and a very friendly, excellent service. Would recommend, and hope to go back shortly.

Have visited the Shippon Tea Rooms several times since they opened and have been delighted each time. The homemade soup is delicious as are the scones and cakes. The decor and ambiance of the place is so quaint. an excellent place to visit with overseas visitors. Will be there again this Friday for lunch with my Keep Fit Ladies. Can't wait for the snow so that we can wander up on the Moors and call in for hot chocolate and cake.

Set up on the the moors. Came upon it by chance. Small but lovely themed tea room built in an old dairy I think. Very Downton Abbey / Pride and Predjudice. Looks very clean. Decor is good. Staff pleasant and the food I had tasty. Presently decorated for Christmas - looks very good. Will need to go back to sample the afternoon tea as it sounds great. Limited opening hours at the moment.

Very nice little tea room, food great and ladies very pleasant and professional. Highly recommended.

Myself and my husband visited the Shippon Tea rooms today .....what an amazing, unique experience we had. The place is so beautifully decorated with a 'go back in time' traditiona, cosy inviting feel. The ambience of the place was truly spectacular and the staff, dressed in traditional clothing gave the experience that special, unique touch. We both ordered the 'Homity Pie' with salad and tea for two. It was so nice to be served tea from a fine bone china tea service with the most decorative 'gold teapot' I've ever seen!! The Homity pie was truly scrumptious and the portion size was excellent making it great value too!! The cakes looked delicious so I asked for a slice of the chocolate fudge cake to take away, I'm yet to try it as I am still full from the amazing pie!! I would highly recommend this place for light lunch, afternoon tea and definitely give the pie a try, you won't be disappointed. The staff are so friendly and polite and are truly passionate about what they do....So, if your looking for something much more special than a cafe, then pay this place a visit...I am sure you will have a most wonderful experience as we both did today!!!

On a trip to Congelton yesterday with my daughter we spotted the sign for Tea rooms ..Having ran DitsyDo Tea Room in Brown Edge for a year (unfortunately we had to close due to family commitments )..we are always curious about other tea rooms ..so on the way back we called in Shippon Tea Rooms for a cream tea..It's a beautifull lovingly restored cattle shed and lean to ..Run by mother and daughter and beautifully decorated..we enjoyed our cream tea and mum and daughter were very friendly..They're doing a Downtown Abbey themed cream tea and obviously my daughter and I shall be going !!.we are spreading the word about this hidden gem it's lovely and we shall definitely be frequenting this lovely Tearoom ...Elaine and Nicola ...xx

By chance when visiting parents in Biddulph Moor a couple of weeks ago I saw on the village notice board that The Shippon Tea rooms had opened the week before. I thought we would give it a try and we were truly impressed. A lovingly restored farm building which has been tastefully decorated and furnished with an Edwardian theme provides a very relaxing atmosphere in a most charming tea rooms.
