Small Talk Tearooms in Colchester

Lovely quaint tea room service was spot on food was great . Recommend to anyone visiting Colchester . Seating area was lovely to see all old items everywhere.

Good service, wholesome food, lovely atmosphere, biggest range of tea i have ever seen, really so so lovely. Decor so quaint and cute 😂 a very special place.

A lovely traditional cafe offering a range of reasonably priced food & drinks, served in proper China cups & saucers. Staff very friendly with excellent service.

We had lunch here it was really nice I had Brie and bacon my daughter had eggs Benedict. This place is beautifully decorated. The staff were really nice and efficient too.

Been 3 or 4 times and wasn’t great . Wanted to try a few things and today tried the sandwich . Very disappointing .stale bread and not very nice . Decided we won’t go again now . Shame as interior is nice . But not worth the prices . Plus advice to them is use fresh bread !!

A lovely restaurant/tea room in the centre of town. Great food and service. Situated in Isaac's Walk.

Our usual place we go for breakfast was closed. So, we decided to try some where new? Going to the Small talk Tea Room was our first time for me, my daughter & a friend. We were impressed with the lovely old Victorian photos, which we were told they had been donated by some family members. The whole decor was of victorian quaintness with lots of ornaments & cabinets with China. There was all size tables with old fastioned table cloths and different sizes chairs. And a relaxing atmosphere. Looking at the menu I was surprised there was a nice selection of breakfasts, but I was disappointed there was no fried bread or plum tomatoes. My daughter & me had full English breakfast and our friend had Benindict eggs with ham. I found my food warm and so did my daughter. The eggs were hard, a teaspoon of bake beans, a tea spoon of mushrooms, the hash brown undercooked, the one sausage was hard & felt like it was cooked the day before!! Bacon was fine and some of the toast wasn't toasted both sides. For £9.99 each was over priced. Our friend enjoyed his breakfast & couldn't fault it. I won't go back for breakfast nor will my daughter. The table server was friendly and spoke to us, but she was on her own and it got very busy. I do want to try the afternoon tea next & I will leave a honest review on that.

Well were to start we came in on 16th August hoping for a lovely, fresh & enjoyable meal and experience like we used to have in 2022 when we came often but instead what we got i wouldn’t serve to my pigs. We had a simple sandwich and a full english, the bread was stale and the sandwich filling tasted at least a week old, very vinegary, my friends full english was the worst full english i have seen, the eggs looked raw and burnt(how is that possible), beans luke warm and claggy, less than a spoonful of mushrooms and i can’t even say whether the bacon had touched a grill or pan! We thought about complaining but if a so called “chef” can mess up something as easy as a full english again and again then what is the point. It is such a shame that the food quality has become such a disaster as when we came previously in February the food was average but we gave them the benefit of the doubt, the waitresses were lovely and quick with the drinks and attentive, just a shame the food was a SHAMBLES! The only way we would ever return would be for a coffee or a cold drink or if there is a new lead chef.

Lovely tea room, the fascinating decor took me back in time which was lovely. Breakfast was superb, customer service was excellent and a very clean place to eat. Sorry no pictures... we were too hungry and scoffed our full English breakfast.

Just had an amazing lunch here. Very friendly staff Amazing food and delicious tea served with a smile. Perfect for an afternoon tea

We've visited a couple of times recently and found this place to be very good. It's larger than it appears and on one occasion we weren't surprised to see people queuing for the table. Decorated in the style of grandma's dining room, it offers more light, colour and personality than some other period venues. It's worth going to a more unfashionable part of Colchester to eat here. A good selection from the menu, plenty of teas and other beverages to choose from. Chelsea has been excellent in serving us, attentive, polite and charming. It may not suit some people that dishes aren't piled high with food - maybe the concentration is on better quality and if they need to do that to survive then it's fine by us - we don't always want to have supersized portions during the day. We will return if you'll have us.

Me and my partner are regular visitors to this hidden gem in the town centre, the decor makes me smile every time i walk through the doors and the staff are lovely and friendly. We tend to come on a monday afternoon and are trying to work our way through the menu as everything we have had has been superb, but this time we came on a wednesday afternoon around 1ish and the food was the complete opposite of what we are used too, my partners poached eggs were very undercooked and not pleasant to look at and as for my half english, the bacon looked unappealing and the hash browns were very soggy, not sure what happened to the beans as they were piled on top of everything else and the toast was burnt on one side, this visit hasn’t put us off returning to small talk but if a first time visitor was served that i don’t see them returning which would be a great shame. I highly recommend visiting on a monday as the food has always been of the highest calibre, maybe a wednesday is the usual chefs day off or training day for new staff. (If you love tea then you HAVE to visit)

I visited the cafe on Wednesday 11th Jan for a full english breakfast after being recommended by a friend and the food was much to be desired, the hash browns were soggy, eggs overdone, toast burnt and beans were slopped on top of everything, however i gave the cafe the benefit of the doubt as my friend wanted to go today 21st Jan and wow what a difference, crisp hash browns, perfectly cooked eggs, everything nicely presented on a warm plate. The only thing i can think is different chefs work different days?

Huge range of Teas beautiful fresh cakes and a perfect menu for a light lunch. The staff ate amazing always polite friendly and helpful. Service is spot on and the food is truly amazing. I love their soup! If you're in Colchester you must pay a visit. If going at lunchtime might be worth booking a table due to its popularity and reputation 1st class!

Been going to this tea shop for quite a few years. Went in last Thursday with two friends and where very disappointed. Food inedible and tea room very cold. Not to many people in there,used to be queuing at the door.

Discovered this lovely tearoom by chance today, and so glad we did, Food was lovely, I had a Ploughmans, which was plentiful and partner had a Fishermans lunch, both were very nice, and service was excellent. Pot of tea with tea cosy on pot added to the quirkiness, Wonderful, decor, and perfect atmosphere. Great value for money, We will be back.

Nice decor, friendly staff and nice well presented food. We had afternoon tea and were offered a complimentary drink on our arrival. On paying the complimentary drinks were charged for! 😮 The menu states that tea is included. We questioned this and were told that the tea was complimentary and the drinks we were offered were additional 😡

I popped into this tearoom with a friend for morning breakfast before shopping, and it was lovely. It is a nice quiet atmosphere, ideal interior for a tea room and the food was lovely. The staff were welcoming and the food was delivered quite quickly which was surprising. My sausage in my English breakfast was slightly pink, and out of precaution I did not eat it but the rest was delicious and my friend's breakfast which was eggs benedict looked lovely! A great place for a Saturday or Sunday breakfast if you want a calm atmosphere.

This used to be the site of our local grocers shop and its amazing to see the change. There is plenty of space for anyone with mobility issues or a buggy. I was pleased to see some gluten free options and had Welsh rarebit with salad , followed by gf carrot cake and of course a pot of tea. Very friendly and helpful staff and the prices were really reasonable.

My wife and I had lunch here again on 23rd February and received the usual excellent experience. The staff are all very friendly, efficient and professional. The food is always delicious and there is a wide choice available. The prices are very reasonable. The decor and ambience are first class and I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough. Thank you all very much.

Stopped for a quick bite on a Saturday lunchtime. Very busy but quickly seated, excellent range of teas, sandwiches, cakes and snacks. Arrived quickly and was of very good quality. Would certainly recommend and will return.

We have made this our go to cafe for tea since lockdowns shut our old haunt. To be honest, over all the time it's been here, I never realised that the place was so large because you can't see much through the windows because of the lace curtains and the china doll in the window was always a little off-putting. It is however friendly (though being greeted by staff wearing spit-shields isn't great PR - who are they afraid will be spitting?) The decor is cosy, the room is nicely spaced out. The range of teas is sizeable and very tasty and have some interesting names. We have enjoyed 'tea' foods and cakes but were disappointed by the bland, slightly undercooked sausage sandwiches. I recommend the 'Tears of the Dragon' and 'Madame Butterfly' teas - lovely!

I've been going too this tea room for over a year now with my husband. Today was one of the best times I have had there. The staff went out there way too deliver what we asked for absolutely incredible. 100% satisfaction Really recommend

This is a really nice cafe/ tea room in Colchester town centre. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is very good, and the prices are very reasonable. It is a great place for lunch, or an afternoon cup of tea.

Making our way to another cafe in Colchester there we were in Eld Lane and noticed somewhere we had not seen before despite being Colchester residents!Wasn’t that a fruit and veg business ..indeed we were told later that indeed it was , but the cafe had been there for sometime!!!Inside it seemed packed at just before 2.00 pm but upon entry the words from a smiling face says a table is being cleaned for you.She had charm , the place had charm , the menu was good, the wait for food was minimal given the number attending.A word to be said , quite often in cafes English tea can be, not warm enough let alone not hot enough .. the contents of our tea pot with its tea cosy was excellent.The light bite food of Turkey Cranberry Brie Baguette and Egg Mayo and Cress sandwiches were delightful .Congratulations to all involved and to our waitress Izabella.

Excellent food friendly welcoming staff and comfy quaint decor-takes you back in time - a Victorian tea room atmosphere. The scones and clotted cream divine. I visited twice and plan another stop before I leave Colchester

We had a lovely breakfast tea and catch up in this cafe this morning. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was fantastic. I would recommend the Brie and cranberry toastie, 10/10!

We came on a Friday for breakfast. Left so disappointed. I had eggs benedict and both eggs were over which ruined the whole dish. My husband had a full English and said it was ok/average.

My wife and I stopped off in Colchester on the way back from Southend-on-Sea, and as soon as we parked up we began looking for somewhere to have breakfast. We came across this tearoom as we were wandering around the back alleys of the town, and as soon as we looked in we knew that this was the place for us – it just looks so quaint and inviting that you want to go in to sample what was on offer. We were shown to a table immediately we walked through the front door by a charming waitress who had collected menus as she came to the door to greet us. The breakfast menu was quite extensive, as was the range of teas on offer, so it took us quite a while to choose, but this was absolutely no problem to the waitress that came to take our order. Once ordered both the teas and breakfasts were soon delivered to our table. The food and teas were both perfect and we were so glad that we had chosen to eat here. We went to take a selfie and immediately one of the waitresses came over to offer her services to take the photo for us – really nothing is too much trouble for the staff at this tearoom. Finally before we left we availed ourselves of the toilet, which was immaculate, so again full marks for that. I would highly recommend this place, and if you are ever in Colchester you really should pay it a visit, as the food and teas are awesome, and the prices are very fair.

Really nice atmosphere in this popular tearoom with a very vintage feel to it which we loved. Felt a bit like sitting in a vintage living room. We had the afternoon tea. Sandwiches delicious but we felt the cake selection could have included a few different pastry type cakes rather than all sponge based. Staff all working hard and helpful so would definitely recommend .

What a treat! A sumptuous environment for an elegant and delicious lunch with a wide selection of lovely teas. We enjoyed perusing the nostalgic books over warm, light scones.

Visit here everytime we come into town..always amazing..very friendly staff..nice interesting menu..great service..great food..great value for money..hope it will not be too long before we can visit again..

We had a lovely stop in here today. Friendly and quick service, nothing was too much trouble. A lovely atmosphere, the decor was so homely and instantly made us feel cosy and comfortable. Our young son was welcomed and given special attention from the server which was lovely as in some places we are made to feel like kids aren’t welcome even though he is very well behaved, he just loves to chat! Our food was lovely and the tea was great too. This is now my favourite tea room in Colchester, a real gem!

We stopped for lunch here and it was very nice. Food was good and the old fashioned décor added to the experience. We saw how lovely one of the waitresses was to an elderly customer who was obviously a regular and this level of service and care was heart warming.

Popped in here for afternoon tea for two and it certainly doesn't dissapoint.from the perfectly filled sandwiches to the deliciously moist cakes .the tea on offer was more than generous and we had to ask for a container to take home with us.absolutely perfect and highly recommended can't wait to go back

In the area for a couple of days and popped in here on spec as we didn't know the area and it looked good. Tea room style works very well here as it is more spacious than similar types. Pleasant environment, spacious, staff really pleasant and efficient. Nice selection of cakes, beverages and meals - all reasonably priced. Covid measures in place and being efficiently applied without overly impacting on your visit. A very pleasant visit and would certainly be back next time we are in the area.

Good service, friendly staff. Good selection of teas and coffees. Spacious. Covid hygiene measures in evidence. Tables well spaced out.

Visited whilst shopping in town..The staff as always were very friendly and helpful..I had Welsh Rabbit with 2 well done bacon..the other half had cheese omlette..both meals were excellent..great value for money..

The small talk probably refers to staff rather than the customers... Staff members from the kitchen kept coming upstairs and talking loudly with the waiting staff. The waiting staff themselves were unfriendly and inattentive to customer needs. They were very efficient cleaning up, to the point of disposing of a drink and food whilst the customer was using the bathroom.Moreover, the iced americano was sub standard. No frothed milk, just a milky coffee with some ice thrown in. Staff just plonked it on the table and left without enquiring about the order or checking if it was right. They also checked on or spoke to any customer to check their satisfaction with the drink or food quality.The sanitiser at the entrance had also run out and the dispenser broken...

First time out since lockdown..popped in for breakfast..whilst out getting hair cuts..as always service first class..food of high standard..will be back when next in town

Have nipped in for lunch with my Grandma a few times and have always had a great time. Always get myself a cheese and onion toastie and a nice cuppa and the food is lovely. It's bigger than it seems, there's always plenty of seating and the decorations are so unique - it feels a lot more warm and homely than a lot of cafes in Colchester.More important than all that though is the lovely staff. The women serving are so smiley and always start a conversation. Such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere; you feel like an old friend the first time you walk in the door!!Would totally recommend this spot if you're wanting a relaxing lunch or brunch whilst out on a shopping trip (and your Grandparents will love it too!)

we have visited several times since I last reviewed..the staff are always very pleasant and helpful..have had eggs benedict..ploughmans..Welsh Rabbit..all have been excellent..good value for money..

We visited this tearoom recently and it was certainly a welcome break from the weather outside. The service was excellent and the amount of choice was great - definitely something for everyone.

Lovely tea room, surprisingly larger inside than it appears from the outside. Spacious table layout - unlike other cafes where the tables are shoe-horned in, there was plenty of room around each & every table. The food was great (we had a mix of toasties,baguettes & sandwiches between us and couldn't fault the meals- hot & tasty). Friendly & attentive staff. When we arrived, although the cafe was busy (always a good sign!), the staff member quickly cleared a table for us (next time will definitely book a table as it's so popular). Good value for money too, especially as everything is made fresh to order. Would definitely recommend, 5 stars.

This Lovely Tearoom is really good for,snacks, lunches, and Afternoon Tea. Staff are friendly and helpful.

I went to Small talk with a group of friends before Christmas for Tea and Cake - as we have done on a previous occasion. It was perfect! The Restaurant is well laid out and comfortable and very spacious. The variety of Teas and Fruit Infusions on offer was amazing. The food was served promptly by polite and happy staff. It was a lovely occasion to relax together before the Festivities.

Absolutely lovely tea room , friendly staff, lovely atmosphere snd great afternoon tea. Really nice tea too.

Nice place for a good breakfast or a great afternoon tea. Very wide choice of teas. Friendly and responsive staff. Traditional design, comfy and warm.

Fantastic food and service as always at this gem. Visited several times cannot fault it. Varied menu and suitable for families

I had my son’s first birthday here. The staff helps a lot and make us feel very welcomed. I do appreciate their great service and amazing food. All our guests love their afternoon tea. Their white tea is brilliant! Try some... we will definitely come back again.

Fantastic afternoon tea the food was so fresh and tasty! Nothing was too much trouble the service was top notch. One if the best Afternoon Tea we’ve ever had. Throughly recommend

breakfasts and lunches of a high standard and staff friendly and helpful - I have visited several times and never been disappointed

The decor is like a film set from an Edwardian film, very traditional, very cosy, and with decent music playing in the background. Table service, so someone soon came to take our orders. The menu has a reasonable selection of breakfasts, light lunches, sandwiches and cakes. All resonably priced with no lunches over about £7. All very civilised and good quality.

Visited Colchester today and found this place by chance, what a treat. Food, service, staff, ambience all excellent. Will definitely return and recommend.

Waited 15 minutes to be served, finally approached by an abrupt waitress who seemed annoyed that my friend wanted to change a couple of items on her breakfast. I ordered fish finger sandwich, expecting them to be homemade. Unfortunately when it turned up I could see immediately that they were frozen birdseye fish fingers. Not impressed by this, £5.50 for 3 and a half frozen fish fingers and no sign of the salad you're supposed to get with it. Stale crisps too. My friend's poached eggs were severely undercooked, the white was really clear and snotty. The waitress was very rude and kept slamming around when delivering our cutlery and when taking our plates, also couldn't get rid of us fast enough, she snatched our plates away as soon as we'd put the cutlery down. Not happy about the lack of service or the mediocre food.

This place is just what you want from a team room, good food and drinks choices all reasonably priced with a great decor.

A very popular tea room and although we had to come back as there were no tables available, we were quickly seated upon our return. The food is superb and the Salmon Platter is excellent value.

Have been here on many occasions..and it is always 1st class..service is always so friendly and helpful..the food is of a very high standard..with so much choice..I love the Welsh Rabbit..the Ploughmans..Eggs Benidict..to name a few..RECOMMENDED

A good choice of reasonably priced food, in very pleasant surroundings. We were a group of friends celebrating a 70th birthday and the piece of cake for our friend even had sparklers in the shape of 70 on it. The staff were very attentive and the food was brought to our table promptly. The portions were a good size and the food ‘home cooked’. The salads, quiches and cheeses were delicious, as were the cakes and pastries. A very enjoyable experience and I would definitely visit again!

Came here today with my day before my job interview, the tearoom itself was beautiful and well decorated. The staff were super friendly giving us a choice on where to sit and took our order. We had scones and they were beautiful and well presented. I will be sure to visit again when I’m next in Colchester.

Went for breakfast here while I was waiting for rain to stop,and I am very pleased I did as this was probably the best breakfast I have had anywhere and very reasonable priced,the staff there could not do enough for me and the tearoom is beautifully done out will definitely be going back.

Delightful tea room with many positives.

Had a lovely trip here with my Mum and Nan - we loved the decor inside which made us feel like we'd been whisked back to the past. I had a smoked mackerel salad which was perfectly made and felt so healthy and light - my Nan had the salmon salad, which again was lovely, and my Mum really enjoyed her baked potato which she said was very filling. Great selection of teas on offer, too!

Food looked great and a good selection of teas available but on this occasion I only had a latte whilst my husband had a warm drink of coke and no ice available.

Always found small talk tea room a relaxing environment. Great place if alone to relax or catch up with friends. Nothing is too much trouble for Mel and her team. A real home from home.

We ambled into this tea room on a very hot morning. The interior is very traditional and quaint and I was anticipating a very good experience. however a few things let the experience down. We were told we could make up our own vegetarian breakfast. The lady left to service other people rather than wait on us and complete our order. We didnt eat eggs so we asked that to be replaced with avocado which it was nice they did as its rare for places to have this, as a substitute. They also offered gluten free toast which was a positive. The breakfast was their regular vegetarian set breakfast but we asked for avocado in place of the eggs - The rest came as was i.e. a vegetarian sausage which was not quorn but a wish mash of veg like bubble and squeak, 2 hash browns, beans, half a tomato and mushrooms and a pot of tea.

Have visited here many times..and I am always impressed..very friendly service..food always excellent..and served quickly..always very busy..and so it should be..well worth a visit.

I called in on Sunday lunchtime with my wife, who had been here before. It is easy to walk past and not realise just how lovely it is inside. The decor is that of a traditional tearoom, and it is very roomy inside. The service was friendly and efficient. There is a good menu which was great value for money. I had the fisherman's lunch. Fantastic! It was so good I felt I must make an effort to write a review.

We visited for the first time yesterday. The staff were excellent, service great, food good, prices good. We shall be returning!

Everything is First Class..the warm welcome..the friendly smooth service..the food excellent..eggs Benedict..Omlettes..Welsh Rabbit..Ploughmans all excellent..and great value for money

Visited around 09:30am not too busy, lovely, cannot fault the service or the food. Highly recommend have been here several times 😃👍🏻

Having been dissappointed at a nearby tea-room we walked a few metre to this one. The welcome good not have been more different. As soon as we entered we were greeted and advised to choose where we would like to sit. After a few minutes perusal of the menu we choose the tea-cakes and a drink. There is a wide selection of fruit teas which the waitress was happy to help us choose.

This is the best tearoom in Colchester..offers a fantastic selection of dishes..all food high quality and great value for money..friendly warm staff.

I called up to book a table the lady in the phone said no booking available but if you come in you can always grab a table, we drive alway the way 20 miles. We had to line up for around 20 minutes. And as we approach the front a very nice lady with dark brown hair was trying to seat us as there was 6 of us . She also said the 2 front table were going to be free soon.

Had my first visit to this tearoom today and was very impressed. Friendly, attentive,but not over bearing staff. Lovely atmosphere with vintage charm. The place was spotless and as soon as someone left their table it was efficiently cleared and washed. The good choice of food and the quality is was good too. Also the prices are very reasonable. This place is a little gem!

Food (including presentation), service and value for money are absolutely spot on. If it's just a sandwich, or breakfast or afternoon tea I highly recommend them. Just fabulous.

Third time of visiting this delightful old world tearoom which does breakfasts, lunches and afternoon tea. Lovely atmosphere, vintage decor and treasonable prices.

Nice friendly atmosphere..staff helpful and friendly..nothing is too much trouble..food of a high standard..at reasonable prices..

Been few times had breakfast and sandwiches breakfast good value sausage could be cooked bit more I like my sausage more brown but overall very good

Lovely place, staff very friendly and food is always first class - never been disappointed. Alone today but have visited as part of a group and they were all impressed. Top notch

We visited here the first yesterday. What an amazing experience. The decor is beautiful with all the little touches. The food so lovely & full of flavour. The staff are so friendly & bubbly & couldn’t do enough to make your experience a good one. We will definitely be coming back here.

Visiting Colchester for the High Street Christmas Market. Arrived early so decided to have breakfast before braving the market.

Found this hidden gem on a visit to Colchester. Loved it so much we booked afternoon tea. The staff are always welcoming and the service is very efficient. A good selection of teas and the cakes are amazing. The perfect place for a relaxing cup of tea.

Quality..Quality..Quality..every dish is excellent..scrambled eggs on toast..ploughmans..welsh rabbit with well done bacon and poached egg..all first class..nice coffees..helpful friendly staff..very..very..good value for money..RECOMMENDED

Set on one of the shopping lanes in Colchester this is a lovely old fashioned tea room with great food and lovely setting. The venue itself is decorated deintly with old fashioned table decor, pictures and ornaments. There is access for those with prams or wheel chairs and is suitable for all who want to enjoy a relaxing bite to eat whilst out and about. There is a fair amount of tables however it does get busy on weekends so pre book a table. During the week you are more likely to be able to get a table of you just walk in.

What a delightful place to relax and enjoy delicious food. We had a toasted bacon brie and cranberry sandwich which was served by very pleasant staff. We enjoyed the background music and the ambiance of a nostalgic bygone age. The place was spotless especially the toilets. Will recommend this gen to our friends.

Visited on a midweek lunchtime.

The staff are amazing, they work so hard to make everything perfect. The breakfasts are amazing as are the afternoon teas. Well done to all the staff and the owner who is fabulous.

Not far from our hotel so ideal for breakfast or lunch. A warm welcome awaits. We loved the ambiance, it took us back some years to the time when tea came in a teapot complete with cozy. Plenty to pick from the menu, all well prepared and very tasty. I recommend the steak and kidney pie. Treat yourself.

Stopped for Lunch..it was very busy..but we were soon seated. such a friendly welcome..hope they win Cafe of the year..I had Welsh Rabbit with bacon and a poached egg..comes with Salad..OH had Scrambled Eggs on toast..all food excellent..service friendly and nice..VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY..will be back .when next in town.

A wonderful discovery. Please go and support. Atmosphere, space, service, food all perfect. Well done to staff and the owner. Wish I had discovered earlier although the outside window disguises how big it is inside!

Called in for Brunch. How lovely is this place. Cosy, welcoming and homely just like grandmas Staff friendly and helpful. Tasty food, served with tea in proper tea pot covered in a tea cosy.If you want a feel for an old fashioned tea room, this place is a must. Loved it

Old fashioned tea room..does traditional afternoon teas..but also has a good varied menu..with something to suit all tastes..quality food at very reasonable prices..such lovely friendly service..

A traditional Tea Rooms, with table service, excellent choice of cakes, (well remembered by my waitress), plenty of drinks to choose from too. The setting is very good, a traditional location and a pleasure to visit. Prompt and efficient service.

We go here purely for the all day breakfast (Although I have had other stuff which is just as good). The quality of the food is 1st class, the quantity is spot on, and the staff are always chatty and lovely.

My friends and myself meet here every Friday and love the atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and work hard. Yes they get busy and you may have to wait but the food is made to order and is very good. Love the homemade soup especially in the winter

We went for lunch on Saturday and both opted for the ploughman’s. I’ve had bigger for a lower price but I understand they have to make a profit. Food was nice, lovely decor inside but the only downside was the service. The plates were delivered but with no cutlery of which the waitress said she’d come back with some. 10 minutes later we were still without cutlery. A young waitress served a table next to ours and as she walked away, gave a momentary glance to which I waved frantically but she walked back to her 3 workmates behind the counter and continued with their chatter. I then got up and walked to the counter to ask for cutlery which we received with no apology which I found not nice. After we had finished the ploughman’s each we fancied some of the lovely cakes they had on offer. To our dismay no one came to take our order so once again I had to get up to ask for service.

My friends and myself meet every month for a coffee and cake and a chat. The scones are really lovely and so are their other cakes. The Staff are lovely and the service is good.

Absolutely love this place. Had lunch today with my daughter and it was beautiful. Fresh and prepared and at the table very quickly. Calm atmosphere very relaxing. Staff are all very welcoming and polite I love this place!

Found this tearoom and my word it’s like stepping back into your grandmothers living room. It was fascinating looking at all the old ornaments and decor that you saw as a child. We ordered sandwiches and I have to say they were excellent, I had Prawn and my friends had chicken. We had one fussy eater in our party and they were more than accommodating. The service is excellent, can’t wait to try the afternoon tea on our next visit as the cakes looked delicious
