Something Lovely Tea Rooms in East Hertfordshire

What a wonderful place. I’ve never been to a tea room. My friend invited for her 40th celebration. It’s so Preety fun warm and friendly. I’m lucky to have a great friend who works here. The gals we do lovely and welcoming. Food is yum. I’ll be back again soon. Thank you. ☺️

Whenever I am felling down I always pop into the tea rooms. You will always be met with a friendly and warm welcome from the lovely staff. The food is very nice too. Very good range and they even have a plant base menu which is a real bonus, especially when combined with one of their delicious berry smoothies. Whether you want a breakfast with a beautiful loose leaf tea or a tasty home baked cake with a vanilla latte they will always lift your spirits. Would definitely recommend a visit whether on your own, with fiends or family. We are so lucky to have a such a welcoming and friendly tea rooms and it really is something lovely.

Such a shame, visited Saturday morning for the first time for breakfast, no room upstairs but was told tables in the basement, it was a freezing cold damp smelling area with no one else there, we went back upstairs and said we would not stay as it was cold and all the lady said was ok bye, not a great way to run a business and such a shame as we was going to be bringing and booking for a big group next Saturday.

Been coming back here for years cos it’s just so damn good! The breakfast, high tea and cakes are just amazing and Kerry and Sarah are so nice. Best brekkie around BY FAR. Fabulous.

We have enjoyed visits to the tea room since it opened. The food is excellent, prepared on on site from the freshest ingredients, and you always receive a friendly welcome from owner Kerry and Sarah. New additions to the menu are plant based delights which are just superb. There is a great range of specialist teas and coffees. Well worth a visit. You will not be disappointed.

Food was fresh but I thought quite expensive. Poached egg on toast (1 slice of toast ) scrambled egg on toast ( again 1 slice of toast ) and 2 coffees was about £17 . Nice little place , but I’m afraid not worth the money .

The kind of place that needs to stay open in lockdown, as the experience there is so good for the soul. We were two strangers to the area in search of tea and sustenance, and couldn’t have felt more at home or as if we were locals. Sarah and Kelly beamed and joked and were just charming. The BLT sandwiches were wonderful. Such a shame they are now closed. Every town needs a Something Lovely.

Everything is made by Kerry and Sarah and is totally delicious. All served on lovely unmatched plates and cutlery with a stunning selection of teas and coffees.

Went for lunch with hubby. Had bacon cheese and mushroom panini and he had bacon, brei, avocado and cranberry. Both were Excellent. The a lovely Lemon drizzle cake and a massive pot of tea. Good value.

We often visit the lovely little cafe for a well deserved breakfast when we are out riding our bikes. The food is great, huge helpings and served with a smile, we love visiting.

Lovely food and Cakes, also "bits n pieces" to browse and buy. I believe the downstairs room is geared more towards Mums with small children, toys being provided to keep them to keep them amused.

What can I say. An lovely place to visit with friendly staff. Went for cake and omg it was so big and so tasty. A must for people to visit.

Had a great lunch in here today with my friend. Fantastic service too. You must try their Big Breakfast tea!!! Loose leaf tea was absolutely delicious. So clean and refreshing. Didn’t think I’d be banging on about the tea when the lunch and cake was so good too!!! But it was lovely. Staff fantastic too. All smiles from waltzing in to slow stroll out. Can’t wait to come back and have that delicious looking Full English next time!!!’

You won't find a nicer English breakfast, in a nicer setting, with nicer people! Kerry, Sarah and the team are truly lovely and always provide such a warm welcome. We've tried all the breakfasts in the area and nothing comes anywhere close to this. We now can't keep away! High tea and homemade cakes are also amazing.

This place just leaves me warm and fuzzy... warm and friendly service, delicious home cooked food and gorgeous, tactile vintage china. My children love to play downstairs and even receive stickers when they tidy up! Fabulous in every way.

Nipped in this morning and couldn’t resist the full English breakfast! It was absolutely delicious! The choice of different teas was extensive but we had the loose leaf Big Breakfast tea and it was delicious. Great place frequented by many locals. Can’t wait to come back

Our favourite place to go for breakfast, lunch or just cake! Lovely freshly cooked breakfasts, delicious sandwiches, baguettes and paninis and a fab selection of homemade cake. High tea is a must. Always service with a smile and lots of laughs from Kerry, Sarah and the team. We love this place

I often pop in here with friends or with my kids and you are always assured of a warm welcome and lovely freshly cooked food whether it's a cooked breakfast, sandwich or the beautiful home baked cakes, never disappointed with the fantastic range of teas and the coffee is lovely too, totally recommend this place. The service is excellent and the staff are just lovely

Kerry runs the something lovely tea room in Puckeridge. It is a beautiful quirky tea room with the most exquisite cakes and pastries all home-made. They always make me the most perfect mushrooms on toast and I haven’t met a person who hasn’t enjoyed this five star experience in probably the best tea room in Hertfordshire. She is a bully assisted by Sara who is a brilliant cook and like Kerry a lovely lively individual.The choice of specialist teas is 2nd to none, And you won’t find anything better in the south of England.

i love going here and often take friends- its everything a country tea room should be. Friendly staff, quirky yet homely decor and a delicious choice of cakes baked daily. If more than 3 or 4 suggest booking- we sat recently downstairs which is charming and playful - a kids party area recently. Excellent coffee and caring owner Kerry gave my niece a little bag of the tea she enjoyed - thats above and beyond.

Myself and the children I nanny for love Something Lovely!

Went here with wife and elderly aunt out for afternoon drive. Most unusual cafe with eclectic decor and great cakes. It’s off the beaten track of the A10 in Puckeridge town on the high street. Worth a visit.

Found this Something Lovely Tea Room on the internet whilst looking for somewhere new to take my best friend for Saturday lunch. Friendly staff, parking easily located outside and reasonably priced. The homemade cakes were amazing especially the jam and coconut sponge, absolutely delicious!!! Will definitely return again.

Kerry and Sarah are extremely friendly and inviting, the tea room is beautifully decorated in vintage style which is very welcoming, there is a lovely children's area downstairs too. The cakes are delicious and made on the premises by kerry(the proprietor).

We visit Kerry and her lovely tea room on a very regular basis, and we love it so much that we come all the way from Linslade in Bedfordshire! We came over today and the selection of cakes was fabulous - we particularly like the jam sponge topped with coconut. Excellent, attentive staff in a spotlessly clean, creatively decorated tea room. We have had several tea parties here, and all of my guests adored the place. The childrens' play area downstairs is the best part; a safe haven for mummies and little ones to relax! Go!

I have been coming to this tea room since it opened and I thought it was about time I made a review. Its so nice to have a quirky little tea room that is very child friendly. We have a large family and the staff are always very accommodating & considerate.

We visited here with our kids and I’m sad to say it’s gone downhill since our last visit. Gone were the jolly ladies that served us previously. Instead we were met with abruptness and misery. The “polite notices” everywhere felt patronising and added to the lack of warmth throughout. The food was below average, the price, far above average. We won’t be returning.

I stop here regularly when out cycling with friends and can honestly say this is my favourite place for coffee, cakes and bacon butties for miles and miles around. The people working here are always really friendly and ready to help, and I have always had top quality food here. The aforementioned bacon buttie is easily the best that I have tasted on my travels (believe me...we've tried loads!!) and Harry knows how to make the best hot chocolate ( extra cream and marshmallows!). I would highly recommend stopping here for a drink and a cake...well worth it.

Popped in for breakfast today, superb food and friendly staff and atmosphere. Breakfast was beautifully cooked, I also had a piece of tiffin and a latte which were just as lovely. Staff are friendly and you are never rushed, you are always made to feel welcome. Really clean and I love the deco especially the upside down table on the ceiling. Nice and relaxing and it really is something lovely to do, thank you.

The afternoon tea cost £15.50 pp You could only have one sandwich filling. The home made cakes were not too bad but nothing special. My daughter pulled out a long hair out of the jam pot that she was about to put on her scone, There was no apology from either of the the female workers when I asked them to exchange the jam.

Dropped in quite by chance this morning (while stopping in Puckeridge to buy a paper). Had originally intended to go to Westmill Team Room on the way home, but glad we stopped here and discovered this place. No problem ordering just bacon for my son (and excellent bacon too). Leaf tea good and cake excellent. Plenty of quirky decor. Downstairs looks ideal for younger children.

Loved this tea room! friendly staff and top service, food and cakes are yum! My little girl loved the fact her sandwiches were shaped as teddy bears..so sweet. The tea recommended to me was superb.The downstairs play area is perfect the children love it and keeps them amused while waiting for your food which as all parents know can be a battle! Even the children getting a sticker when you leave such a lovely touch ! I will definitely be back and recommending your tea room to friends and family. See you again soon!

Nice snack and tea rooms . Very child friendly with children's play area . Ideal meeting place for mums for light lunch or just tea and coffee .

I've always found Kerry to be the opposite of rude! Great place to visit, as I do often! Great fresh home made cakes and really good coffee.

Very nice cakes and drinks but shame about the lady who runs it who’s rude, tried to book a table but was so rude I hung up! Does she not realise customers who go keep her business going!

Popped in with a friend and our toddlers, ordered the afternoon tea for two it was amazing. All of the cakes are home made and the atmosphere is lovely. There are lots of toys downstairs and the little ones get a sticker for helping to tidy up when they are finished. Will definitely be returning soon

Tearooms smeerooms. However this lovely tearoom situated opposite the Crown and Falcon privately owned pub, is just a huge delight. There are other local tearooms, such as the one on the A10,but THIS is truly excellent. The owner is there with her great staff and cook all their own cakes and fresh meals unlike others. I can thoroughly recommend the lovely range of great teas, the coffee is very good and the meals - just superb.

A very special place run by wonderful people! Cakes always divine! Interior fabulous - even has a table and chairs on the ceiling. One of Hertfordshires gems!

We discovered this place quite by accident a while back and I stupidly forgot to write a Tripadvisor review. Or maybe subconsciously I forgot because I didn't want it to become so busy that I wouldn't be able to get a table should I return...! Well I returned today and it was just as fabulous as the last time. Gorgeous, wacky setting, super coffee, the most scrumptious home-made cakes and charming service from the two ladies and the young chap on a lovely Saturday morning. Well worth discovering. We commented that we were on our way to Saffron Walden, and were very kindly given a superb recommendation for lunch- Cafe Cou Cou. (Please see separate review.) Many thanks for a top-notch start to our day!

Es un lugar encantador que trae los niños porque tienen una preciosa zona de juegos abajo. Las tartas también son increíbles.

I don't know if I have added this to my previous reviews but Kerry and the team do make fabulous take away sandwiches. Proper doorstop bread, amazing tasting and an absolute lifesaver!We love you guys!

A really friendly place, a high standard of sandwiches and the soup I had was really high quality. Eclectic decor, friendly atmosphere, what more do you need....

Met up with friends with children with wide age ranges and sat downstairs. It was a great experience for them and for us to let them free to enjoy themselves. The tea and cake were also very nice.

Reserved a table in half term week to have our first visit (had seen a pic of the chocolate cake and knew I had to have a piece) Had my 4 yr old and parents visiting from Devon so was suggested a downstairs table so our little boy called play. When we arrived upstairs was a little busy and had to find our way down, had to admit that although absolutely lovely downstairs with a fab play area for the kids, it was a bit dark (no windows) and squashed in (a big group of mums and kids sat on the bigger table, taking up a lot of room) So we were lucky enough to be able to get a table upstairs which was much nicer as bright and lovely atmosphere.The service was fantastic and food delicious (I had the prawn sandwich - bread was so yummy followed by the chocolate malteser cake (I want more now) My son was thrilled with his teddy shaped sandwich and strawberry milkshake and parents enjoyed their tea and cake. So all left VERY happy first timers and will 100% be back with friends very soon.

A great choice of tea and coffee and a lovely selection of fresh cakes. An eclectic decor with bits and pieces for sale too. It's a little squashed, but perfectly ok and shows how popular it has become.Lovely to have good simple home cooked food available for a light lunch or snack too and an excellent children's menu. Friendly helpful staff.Downstairs is a great play area for little people. Small but perfectly serviceable toilet - slightly off putting to be just off the main dining area but ok.

Great tea room with plenty of options on cakes, teas and coffee. The place is very small but very lovely. Friendly staff and the place was very clean.

I was absolutely in love with Something Lovely. In fact, I wish I'd found out about it sooner! The decor is incredibly charming, and it is the perfect place to enjoy a pot of tea, a pastry, or a meal. The staff are welcoming and kind, the menu is well-priced, and I was quite content to relax and enjoy afternoon tea by myself. Thanks for the nice visit! Will hopefully return soon.

hidden away in Puckeridge very enjoyable, great selection of cakes friendly staff not over priced. would recommend a visit

Passing through the village and came across this gem of a tea rooms. The staff were so welcoming, nothing too much trouble. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Wish we lived nearer!!!

Staff can't do enough for u helpful and out to please whatever you needed. Will definitely return! Quiet ambience too.

Good coffee and a nice sandwich in a lovely cafe in a quiet village. A few gluten free options and pleasant service. Well worth stopping by if you're in the area.

I went to visit a friend in Harlow this Saturday, we fancied a nice tea room for lunch! So I googled tea rooms and something lovely appeared and it really was something lovely.. It had a nice quaint buzzy feel. We sat and the lovely staff were over with the menu, we choose jacket potatoes we were informed they would take a little longer but well worth the wait! Would loved to have tried one of there homemade cakes but didn't have the room. We will defiantly be back.. I think something lovely is a well kept local secret but I'm sure it won't be for much longer.

This is a lovely quaint little tea room in an unlikely quiet spot . Do not drive past it , make sure you stop. The owner bakes the cakes and both her and her friend / waitress are delightful . They have a big selection of cakes , sandwiches , soup, baked potatoes etc . But I go to a tea room for cake and last week they had my all time favourite . Coconut cake . Lovely simple moist sponge with a possibly frosted topping ? , drenched in coconut . For me ? Heaven on a plate . Served with a pot of quality " real" tea . Delicious. My husband ( the coffee snob ) , even liked the coffee . Do not drive by this little gem . It really is something lovely .

We decided we wanted a cup of coffee out and read the reviews and its number one coffee shop in Ware. They weren't wrong! The cakes are all made on site. We had lunch I asked if they had any gluten free products no cakes but they had bread and bagels.I had anoth 1st for me a gluten free bagel with mozzarella and tomatoe. Really good and they toasted it.One had tomato mozzarella ciabatta And other member had egg mayo in fresh crusty white farmhouse bread. They had an amazing hot chocolate with cream and mini marshmallows I tried also for an adventure orange grapefruit and mint riboos lovely

When scouting the area for something to eat, we found this little place, and we were greatful that we had, good selection of drinks, great hot chocolate, interestin Rooibos teas were the ones that jumped out at us as we settled down to read the food.Yes they could do gluten free bagels, so filled with mozzarella and tomato, I went for a similar ciabatta, and one egg mayo in crusty bread. All freshly made and greatGood value too

Pretty little vintage tea room. Friendly service. Delicious homemade cakes - I had the coffee and walnut which was really good. Excellent coffee. Easy to park outside, which is a consideration with an elderly relative.

Brilliant tea room. Great food. Even better staff, friendly and happy. And soopah hot coffee...what's not to love?

Just been in for lunch. 2 adults and a toddler, we sat downstairs in the playroom, with loads of toys and room to play.Food is great, service is wonderful and to find somewhere so nice and so child friendly is such a treat.We don't visit as often as we should considering we live opposite, but we are never disappointed and cannot recommend highly enough.We love you Kerry and the team, keep up the wonderful work xxxx

Absolutley lovely food and a great atmosphere every time I come into the tea room, it's a real treat.

Really friendly atmosphere, delightful decor and delicious food - it is a cafe with a real difference.

We live opposite which is too tempting.Kerry and her team are lovely and friendly.We woke up on the morning after our wedding and thought...what shall we do?Kerry's for a bacon sandwich.The cake is heavenly, the atmosphere friendly, and with a little playroom for kids its all we need.

I'm glad i don't live too close or I would be here every day!Something lovely is friendly and welcoming, with superb cakes and excellent range of teas. i went with my niece and sister last week and we had 3 excellent cakes - Iced Coffee Cake, Lemon Drizzle and Banana & Apricot I had a lovely pot of tea and my niece enjoyed lovely fruit infusion Its quaint, quirky and delightfully unhurried - highly recommended

We went here yesterday as part of Hertford music mystery tour Much quieter than other venues in Hertford and you could actually listen to the musicWe will have to come back for a longer stay ASAP

Just returned from a delicious lunch at this gorgeous, quaint tea rooms in Puckeridge. My friend suggested it for a "ladies" lunch out and it didn't disappoint. We both had sandwiches, made from GI bread from the local bakery. It was so good we tracked the bakery down afterwards to buy a loaf! We both followed our sandwiches with moist homemade cake. A real village atmosphere with personal and attentive service. Would definitely revisit.

I have been staying in the area for a couple of months and spotted this early on and was keen to try! I managed to pop by late Saturday afternoon for a delicious slice of homemade butterscotch cake and pot of tea what a lovely treat to myself! The girl serving took time to describe all the different cakes to me which I really appreciated. Very nicely styled tearoom on Puckeridge high street offering a wide selection of snacks,tea and cakes. I highly recommend if you are nearby.

Such a friendly, wonderful tea room in Puckeridge High Street. It's a real community hub and the food is gorgeous. Pop in for a coffee, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch or enjoy a delicious cake. Lots of locals are regulars there so that's a good sign.

Something Lovely for a Saturday lunchtime snack has become a habit now. Delicious sausage sandwiches in the best fresh white bread I have ever tasted, or toasties with granary bread for a change. Large pot of tea in bone china cups to round it off. Kerry also makes a great selection of fantastic cakes for those wanting something extra, the butterscotch iced cake is a must.

We have just returned from enjoying afternoon tea at this delightful place and it was indeed something lovely!We really couldn't fault it in any way and look forward to going back soon. Everything was beautifully fresh and the cakes were delicious.Thank you to the lovely lady who served us and was up early this morning making the cakes!

Five of us stopped at the something lovely tea rooms for high tea on Saturday afternoon - I can honestly say it was one of the most delicious afternoon teas i have tasted - a choice of tea in vintage china tea cups, freshly made sandwiches of our choice on the softest granary bread, fab scones and more home made mouth watering cakes than we could possibly have eaten - for only £10 per person ladies I actually think you are doing yourselves a disservice... Only small recommendation is I would probably swap one of the cakes for an extra sandwich... Beautiful place to go with friends or family of any age, can't recommend enough...

As a writer for a global luxury lifestyle magazine I'm often asked to "report" back on gastronomic experiences .... This quaint , clean and rather wholesome little tea room nestled snugly in the village of Puckeridge offers a variety of tea and cakes one would usually find at Fortnum and Masons but with better service and friendlier staff...this establishment truly epitomises all that is quintessentially British .

Very cute vintage style tea room. Had a great selection of teas. Everything served on vintage china. Also has a range of crafts and gifts for sale. Well worth a visit.

Very vintage quirky tea room ,perfect to take young children , downstairs is for kids with vintage toys games rocking horse & little kitchen etc . The cakes are home made & different every week . For little ones there are rabbit shaped sandwiches & mini drinks in mini bottles mini teapots etc . Turkish apple tea is a must & of course the tiffins , white chocolate on dark choc yumm !

This is a fantastic place to grab a coffee and a bite to eat, one of the better coffees that I have ever had, and the food is awesome as well! I have been to a lot of coffee/ tea rooms form the biking that I do and I must say that this is one of if not my favourite places I have discovered. so much so that it's prompted me to write this post, something I rarely do. Best wishes to Kerry the owner who was more than happy have a little chat as well.

Had a lovely coffee and cake and my daughter had a delicious toastie and juice. We then shared a pot of peppermint tea.The decor is quirky and unique and lots of things to look at. Downstairs area too. So refreshing versus the big 3 coffee shops on the high street. We should all pay these independents more frequent visits. I certainly will!Top class!

Such a lovely place to go and relax, the food was excellent and the decor is so lovely, really loved the downstairs area where the children can safely play and do activities. Will be returning with friends very soon.

Lovely team room, amazing milkshakes, lovely people. Definitely going to go there again. Large and very varied types of tea.

A really quaint and lovely tea room offering gorgeous panini's, home-made cakes/scones and a wonderful variety of teas and exceptional coffee. They also do a very tasty full English at weekends, especially the sausages! Couple this with the warm and friendly welcome from the owner, her staff and the wonderful community feel with the other visitors and it really lives up to the name of something lovely. Whilst we did not use it there is also a small play area for children down stairs. I will definitely be visiting again soon and look forward to my next visit.

great welcoming atmosphere with good service, I had a delicious bowl of porridge with plumb, nuts and honey with a banana milkshake on my last visit and following the theme of all 3 of my visits I was impressed with the high standard of food, this will not be my last visit as I am yet to visit a tea room with such a high standard of both service and food.

Very nice to have a new tea room - delicious home made cakes ! lovely atmosphere- however will have tea next time as the coffee was not good for coffee lovers - very weak and thin - but will go again !

We were recommended to come here and did so about 12.30pm on Sunday. It is a lovely place which a lot of character. It was very busy and all the staff were working flat out. The owner, Kerry, is a very pleasant lady and despite how busy it was, took time to explain why they did not do de- caffeinated coffee. Although, she explained there was not a lot of demand for the coffee, I wonder if this may put people off coming a distance. Indeed, we are a twenty minute journey away. That said , there is de caff tea on offer. I thought the coffee was the best I have ever tasted in ANY coffee shop and I visit quite a few. The cake was nice and all staff pleasant. A lovely visit. Just be aware that it is quite chilly as door constantly in use and seating upstairs is limited.

We had brunch here last Sunday. The food was lovely. Most of us had cooked breakfast, which included local bacon and delicious sausages. The scones were yummy too. The owner was friendly and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. A few teething problems as I think they only opened last week but I'd definitely come back!
