Stanmer Park Tearooms in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had a Hen Party this afternoon in the Mad Hatters tearoom, great for a mixed age group of women. Wonderful high tea with prosecco and unlimited drinks. I had the Gluten Free the bread was the best GF I've ever had . I will visit again.

Great friendly staff, home made ham for eggs Benedict was a particular highlight. Wide selection of cakes for the sweet tooth members of the family.

Staff seemed pleasant but inexperienced. I ordered a cheese and onion sandwich to the tune of £7.50. The sandwich came with no butter, extremely dried out sourdough bread and some onion. I tried to add Mayo but nothing could save it. It was absolutely inedible. I'm not minted so losing money like that hurts. I made sure to tell a staff member how bad it was when I left and he did offer some cake or tea. At least he had some standards but whoever made the sandwich really didn't.

Went for our first visit on a sunny Thursday lunchtime time. We both had Jacket potato, baked beans & salad. They were generous portions, piping hot & absolutely delicious! Friendly staff, good value, relaxing location. Many thanks, will be back soon.

Amazing breakfast. Lovey staff and place . Highly recommended anyone to come here . The vibe is incredible . Thanks for a wonderful time

Food looks good, nice venue. Staff friendly. However an hour wait for food is outrageous! An hour for a toastie! It must be outrageously badly managed and needs and good shake up.

Great sausage rolls and vegan granola Best granola my wife’s says she’s had The sausage roll was massive

Tables filthy covered in bird poo. We ordered pot of tea for 2 cups filthy and teapot looked like i t hadn't been washed . Tea had blobs of fat floating on the top .Sandwich arrived, cheese and tomato toastie had bacon on bottom and clearly the grill hadn't been washed as it tasted of old burnt cheese . Definitely avoid as really doesn't seem clean.

What has happened to this place?? It used to be great and the menu was good too. They recently changed their menu … and not for the better! Just pizza n chips n stuff. Service has gone way downhill and today our experience was just dreadful. We ordered two spinach and feta filo parcels and they were microwaved and floppy (not crispy) but worst of all they were stale and tasteless. Simply inedible. We having been going there regularly for years but I’m afraid that’s it. We’ll try other places nearby from now on. Whoever owns or manages this place needs to sit up and take note. Sad.

We had such an awful experience here. It didn't help that it rained and the only available tables under the trees were covered in bird poo so clearly not regularly cleaned. I ordered a cheese and onion toasty which came out with bacon in it. I told the waitress I was vegetarian and didnt order bacon and she took it away and returned quite quickly with what looked like the same toasty but with the bacon removed. She assured me it had been changed. I then went to take a bite and saw a small piece of bacon on top and the crust had bacon melted into it, yuk! I took it straight back and she got me another one and said sorry but she should have refunded me. I've been a vegetarian for 30 years and never has a restaurant so blatantly picked meat off something, just unforgiveable and the staff need some serious training. The cake with strawberries and cream was so bland, and the rocky road was so gooey it didn't seem cooked, my kids wouldn't eat it and I couldn't stomach it either. Really disappointing as the location is lovely.

Grubby, dingy, everything looks very old and tired, soft serve machine broken, magnums out of stock, apathetic staff couldn’t care less, no umbrellas out on a scorching day, the only shade was tables under a tree covered in bird poo and ketchup, the accessible toilet now ‘maintained’ by the cafe stank, no loo roll, filthy floor, filthy sink, had to use it because my little boy was desperate but it would have been cleaner to just go in a bush! Whoever owns it has no love for this cafe and frankly they don’t deserve it.

On entering the first thing you notice is the amount of flies! The second is the attitude of the woman behind the counter. Not exactly customer friendly. An Americano coffee that one could hardly taste. Thankfully the toasted sandwich wasn't too bad. It that which has rescued it from being classified as terrible. Oh, and being pestered by dogs when you are trying to eat!

Slow service, overpriced, dirty, flies. Staff didn’t look particularly clean. Staff didn’t pay attention. Obviously would not recommend.

Popped in for a snack today. Lovely coffee. Toasted cheese sarnie possibly the best I've ever had. Honestly it was delicious. Companions had cakes and very much enjoyed them. Pricey though. Looking forward to the next visit!

There were a party of us for a Birthday including 2 children, the room was nicely decorated in Alice in Wonderland. Were were asked what we would like to drink, they arrived one by on? We were having afternoon tea. The tiers of food were brought out each one covererd 2 people. They looked great. The sandwiches were Salmon and cream Cheese, Cucumber, Ham and Mustard and Beef and Chilli jam. Not too everybodys taste. The scones were fruit no plain, jam and cream. the cream which wasn't overly nice and the scones tasted odd, not sure how else to describe them The carrot cake I enjoyed but not the rest. A dog kept wandering in the toilet was through the room and they wanted us to keep the outside door ajar because the fire was alight.

The room is decorated on an Alice in Wonderland theme. 12 of us including 4 children had afternoon tea for my birthday treat. The food was amazing, fresh sandwiches, best scones ever and delicious cake. My vegan friend was also well catered for which we appreciated. All the staff were so kind and helpful. Cannot recommend enough.

Busy cafe, plenty of dogs. Resident dogs barking at other dogs. Bit a collie, Also observed resident dog stealing a sausage off a customer and general waitng at tables for more. General flapping of owner around our table, various adjustments which made it unrelaxing. Eavesdroping of a conversation and tried to insist she could cater for me but I was perfectly happy with what I decided and wanted to relax. The cakes attested nice.

We recently went here for breakfast, we ordered the full English, and it was absolutely wonderful, we had poached eggs which were perfectand the price was good too , we will definaltly be coming back .

We stumbled upon this little gem when walking our dogs in stamner park, we had a wonderful roast with all the trimmings and the services was incredibly attentive….thank you so much for such a lovely Sunday xxx

I come here quite a lot and generally food is good however if you are vegan always check that what you have been given is actually vegan. On 3 occasions, despite ordering a vegan dish i have been given meat and dairy!! Not impressed!

My brother and I ordered a full breakfast which cost £10.95 each.It was Luke warm and poor value ,will not be returning to this establishment again.

Came here on a bank holiday Monday. Waited just over an hour for a baked potato, poached egg on toast. Poached egg came with plastic on it. Didn't send it back because the queue was so bad. The ambience was affected by fraught people complaining...

The homemade cakes are to DIE for! I’ve been meaning to write this review for a long time and promised I would to the owner. The homemade cakes are quite simply rich, HUGE and delicious. Without question, the best homemade cakes in Brighton & Hove.

What a disappointment ... what has happened to the vavavoom and energy that used to be here? Afternoon tea comes with tea/coffee but not in china cups (takeaway containers), there were no jugs of water available so we had to buy bottled, we had to...

Lovely setting and good selection on the menu. Service was efficient and we didn’t have to wait too long for the food. Only annoyance was the cakes, sausage rolls etc were on shelves at face level or below for all and everyone to breath, cough...

Waited too long for service, waited too long for order and we only ordered drinks, then when we got our HOT chocolates, they were just about tepid. Would've taken them back but my parking time had nearly run out by then. Not worth the £3.50...

Bring sandwiches you're going to have a long wait for your food. The staff are oblivious to their roles.

The Oreo brownie I had was honestly amazing and well worth the money! Absolutely lovely atmosphere and the dogs just make it even better :)

Came to stanmer cafe with our grandson on a sunny Sunday morning, we sat outside on the benches and ordered 2 coffees, one latte one Americano , although we had to ask twice for sugar and then for a spoon, the coffee’s were delicious, as was the huge chocolate brownie and whipped ice cream we purchased, the food coming out looked really good and the place was clean and tidy! So I’m surprised by the negative reviews!! my only gripe was that the flustered girl waitress was wearing what looked like a pair of knickers and a very short t shirt!

Woeful, woeful, woeful…No opening times advertised….Sunday afternoon 15:30 05/09/21SHUTSunny, warm day, potential customers looking for the usual fair, ice creams, cups of tea etc….CLOSEDIt’s no surprise the march of the fast foods goes on, because although the quality may be low, the reliability is consistent.

What has happened to this cafe? It used to be so good. Rude staff, food took ages, was cold and uninspiring with really small portions & not good value for money. When I complained at having 5 chips with my meal, the general response was that they don’t care. Such a shame- they need to up their game if they want to compete with One Garden cafe

Lovely place. Clearly good food but poorly run. When we went for coffee most tables marked reserved so found space in the Conservatory, the tables remained empty the whole time we were there. They lost a lot of money and custom.

The female member of staff was very rude. Did not stay for a drink.This is the second time we have been to the cafe and was put off by the abrupt, unfriendly and down right rude female member of staff, no wonder the cafe was near empty and had no atmosphere.

An unforgettable experience! It a shame as we remember it been such a nice place. It all started with the worst 'double shot' cappuccino, clearly a homeopathic version, as it only contained the "spirit' of the coffee grains. How to describe the incredible guacamole taste! with that acidic kick of the fresh and artificially composed avocado sauce with some sad tortillas, commonly called Doritos.. nothing else...! lost in a big takeaway box. The tuna 'mayo' paté involved in the panini would have been a delight for my dear cat. Sadly she was at home so no one could actually enjoy the delicacy. An extremely overpriced disappointment.

Love, Love, Love this cafe. Jemma and her staff are always friendly providing excellent service in these still difficult times. The coffee is excellent. I can throughly Recommed the cherry shortcake it’s our favourite every time we visit (at least once a week). Always love seeing Ruby & Chloe such beautiful dogs ❤️ See you next week

they get busy, but the staff are wonderful.special mention to the young chef, who really pays attention to presentation and quality.the Croque monsieur and ham and eggs are simply some of the best ive ever had.

Sin golpear directamente este lugar, es difícil escribir una reseña.Sin embargo, hay algunos elementos clave que me gustaría señalar.El lugar está sucio. Tuve que limpiar la mesa yo mismo antes de poder sentarnos a comer.Mi café estaba medio vacío y el tocino estaba apenas cocido.Los cubiertos parecían un lujo y olía fatal.Dicen que tienen sillas altas. Ellos tienen uno. Una sola silla alta con correas sucias / rotas.No hay un menú para niños que pueda ver, pero parece que han escrito el menú en la fuente más pequeña conocida por el hombre, por lo que probablemente no podría incluso si estuviera allí. El personal no está informado sobre lo que están vendiendo. Mi madre pidió un quiche, cuando me dijeron que era tocino. . . . Sin embargo, cuando llegó, diría que 80% de cebolla.Ella lo abandonó a la mitad.No tienen bebidas adecuadas para niños, solo botellas de agua (sin una gorra deportiva bastante difícil con un niño de 2 años) y un cartón de jugo de naranja.Probablemente podría haber dejado a un lado todas las quejas si el lugar ha sido limpiado.Hubo un derrame en la mesa frente a mí, observé y esperé a que varios miembros del personal lo pasaran.El piso debajo de la mesa estaba lleno de polvo.Honestamente, me habría ido si no hubiera ordenado y pagado.Se podría pensar que la higiene ocuparía un lugar destacado en la agenda del personal, especialmente con los actuales problemas de salud mundiales.Si va a utilizar este servicio, por favor, llévese y vaya y siéntese en un campo cercano, probablemente sea más limpio :)

Conocí a un amigo aquí para tomar un café en una tarde ciertamente miserable, estaba lloviendo a cántaros.El café es bastante bueno, piense en Small Batch Roasters en Brighton. No comimos, pero nuevamente la tarifa estándar ofrecida parecía estar bienLe daré otra oportunidad cuando el clima aún no haya mojado mi espíritu y mis zapatos.

Llegamos a la hora del almuerzo y pedimos cinco comidas diferentes. Todo fue servido eficiente y rápidamente con una sonrisa. Sandwiches bien llenos de ensalada, quiche muy agradable. Huevo y patatas fritas bien. . . papas fritas un poco demasiada sal. Buen lugar para comer en invierno. En verano puedes hacer un picnic en el parque.

delicious menu (almost too much choice!) and seating inside and out tasty veggie options, plenty of hot drinks, pastries and sweet cakes free Wi-Fi if you have a BT account

What a cracking tearoom, very English, lovely food and tea and extremely friendly team of people. Stanmer park is lovely and the tea rooms just perfect

We went for afternoon tea there and the food was lovely and the staff were very attentive and I would definitely go there again

Hemos estado yendo por años a este café. Hoy a las 4. 00. Cuando pedimos té, nos dijeron que teníamos que tener tazas desechables en lugar de tazas. Las tazas estaban justo allí, pero cuando pregunté si podía tomar una taza me dijeron que no era demasiado tarde en el día. Realmente sentí por la mujer que me sirvió, ya que estaba de acuerdo en que no deberían usar vasos desechables. El propietario o gerente o alguien me miró cuando hablé de ello. Realmente sorprendido por el cambio en la política en este momento actual.

Caminó al perro en el gran paseo británico para perros y disfrutó de un panini de queso y cebolla y un sándwich BLT. Aunque ocupada, la espera no fue tan larga. Comida buena y sabrosa, además de un precio razonable. También disfrutamos de una rebanada de tarta bakewell. Definitivamente volveré con mis hijas.

Fui allí con la familia y el perro el fin de semana y no lo recomendaría lo suficiente si te quedas en el parque de Stanmer y luego te preparas un capricho, comimos el desayuno especial vegetariano, la sopa del día mientras los niños comían sándwiches y Fue claro platos alrededor de nosotros! La comida era deliciosa y el personal era muy agradable y amable, y fue un gran placer después de un largo paseo por el parque.

Have been a regular here but recent changes so far disappointing but hopefully with a few changes will improve The Veggie Special really wasn't very special and for the price was not value All ingredients were OK but only protein source was a single egg The veggie sausage was the type most veggies hate ie just mashed vegetable and no protein The quorn sausages that other places do are much better and an added source of protein The lack of baked beans also surprising as would have been easy to add and additional source of protein Overall very disappointing but staff friendly and like the place so hope they get to adjust menu abit otherwise won't be such a regular visitor as some great other cafes in the area Being dog friendly is great though

Stunning place for a coffee break! Great friendly service open fireplace and super dog friendly. Loved the variety of coffee's next time we try a breakfast.Worth a visit endless walking all around the park.

We were so happy to find the cafe actually open on New Year’s Day, and were all looking forward to our bacon sandwiches and coffees.

Great place for breakfast, lunch or coffee. Friendly staff, good fast service, dog friendly, child friendly.

Having heard that the café had been sold on, we decided to try it out. After reading quite a few of the reviews on TripAdvisor, it is clear that many of them are not about the tearoom but the Proud Stanmer House, thus giving a generally 'wrong' impression.

Feeling like an Autumn walk went to Ditchling Beacon and walked down to Stanmer Village. Autumn colours were wonderful decided to pop into the village tea rooms. What a disappointment the tenacey changed about September and the new tenants haven't a clue about running a cafe. My hot chocolate was stone cold, tables not cleared and long waits for food. Proud Stanmer House is no better more often or not it's shut. So will remember next time to take a flask.

Went to the park on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon. The weather was amazing and I felt ready for a bite to eat. The tea room was handy. Beautiful prawn sandwich was consumed. Loads of tea and coffee was sold. Nice friendly atmosphere.

We’ve just been today for a lovely walk in stanmer woods.. thought it would be a good idea to stop for a hot drink at the picturesque stanmer tea rooms. Should have heeded my first gut instinct when I saw the miserable looking lady at the counter, admittedly it was near the end of the day so we just ordered two hot chocolates and a chocolate bar for our son.. the term “hot chocolate”has been completely misunderstood here as we were served two smart cups of luke warm frothy milk ?? Staggeringly this came to £5.75!! A lesson learned.. won’t be coming back.. we could have had a lovely drink in the garden of stammer house just around the corner and had a friendly smile for less!!

Saturday afternoon on a beautiful autumn day in Brighton means a walk in Stanmer Park, and after a good hike what could be more pleasing than a cuppa and a slice of cake? Consequently we tipped up at about 4.15pm, ready for the pleasures of the Stanmer Park tearooms. Pleasures? Well, sadly, no.

A friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff make this place excellent. The food was lovely and they have a variety of teas. I recommend this tea room.

I was with a friend and three small children. Queued for quite a long time to order which is difficult with little ones - made quite a simple order (chilli com carne, chips and a sausage roll) but waited around an hour to be served! And when we finally got my food, my friend’s chips were still missing and had to chase that up - and the waitress also failed to bring any cutlery! When the waitress came back with my friend’s chips, my friend (who had a baby on her knee) asked for salt and vinegar and she told her she had to go in and get it herself! Some other friends joined us and when their food was ready, the waitress came out and shouted the number in the other garden and we therefore didn’t hear it. Someone told us and our friend went to try and find the waitress who had gone back inside. The waitress then came out and in a very accusational tone said ‘I was shouting and shouting’ as if it was our fault! (Why couldn’t she just come into the left garden so we could hear and see her?!). Later, when we were about to leave, my kids started playing with the chain curtain over the door to the left hand side of the cafe. At that point a waitress who was sitting at a table shouted at my kids ‘You can’t come in here!’ The whole attitude was terrible and the staff were in utter chaos and some were frankly rude and totally clueless about the needs of people with small children. I literally cannot understand why such a simple order should take one hour. I will certainly not be going there again.

During the summer Stanmer Park Tearooms we’re closed one day per week for staff training, or do the sign said when I tried to take my parents there. Today we went for a long walk around the area and wanted coffee & cake. Both the coffee & cake were lovely - though a bit expensive. Two coffees & two pieces of cake £15.00.

I never knew how horrible a coffee could taste until today.... burned coffee Burned milk Impossible to drink Bitter, like the woman who served it.

Seriously terrible coffee here yesterday - my wife's flat white looked like a v weak latte and tasted like fishy dishwater. My decaf flat white was similarly bad - an instant would have been tastier. Would have been funny if we hadn't been looking forward to them. On the plus side, the bread for the sausage sandwiches was gorgeous - thick soft seeded wholemeal. Please sort the coffee machine out - I noted it is fed by coffee beans. Are they fresh? Are they cheap?

Initially a promising cafe with a fine selection of meals and cakes available. A dog friendly establishment.

Will never go here again after the grumpy lady who served us shouted at us for opening our own packet of crisps in the cafe! We had bought coffees and drinks for our kids and so "paid" money to have the privilege of sitting in the cafe - which is small and always crowded and full of people with dogs who don't seem to like children. My daughter is autistic and has a very restrictive diet which was why we had brought her crisps with us for her to eat. I will never go in here again after the rudeness shown by the staff. And will make sure we take our own picnic. Such a shame as there's nothing else here and the park is so popular, just a shame the staff are so rude.

Popped in for coffee and toast in the morning. The one member of staff was smiley and helpful despite being very busy. The toast was great but the coffee not so good and neither were the two wasp stings I got while sitting outside - serves me right for sitting on a table next to a full bin!! Stanmer Park and village is a lovely place to visit and walk round and I would visit again but I wouldn't have the coffee!!

The tea room is basic but fine for a cuppa, and I always thought it was a friendly place. But on the last visit my friend asked if they could fill her water bottle with tap water - the counter staff said 'they didn't do that' and advised her to use the tap in the toilet opposite, which seemed a bit mean-minded on a hot day. We did notice that they were happy to fill a big container with tap water for people's dogs though.

Made the mistake of trying the tea's at Stanmer house, and then one of the other guests reccomended the Stanmer Tea Rooms. It was perfect, very traditional, dog friendly and lovely. The staff polite and produce was fresh. Bravo, we will be back.

Met friends here before a walk around Stanmer Park. Was very busy but managed to get a table inside. Sign saying dogs paws had to be kept on the floor and was pleased to see someone asked to out their dog on the floor instead of on a spare chair!

Value for money, customer service friendly and fast and of course they have a lovely menu! I haven't been since going vegan but I am sure there would be something on the menu :)

I went there after a walk for a cup of tea with my family. We found a table outside, and my husband went inside to order. While I was waiting, I gave some snack which I brought for my children who are less than 2years old. One staff came to us and told us we can't have own food. We told her my husband went to order. But she said even though we can't. We told her these are not for us, for children. But she just said we can't. So we decided to leave.

Went with friends after a walk for a cup of tea and cake. Easy parking next to the building. Nice location and old house. A bit disappointed in the service and choice. Took a long time for then to come and take the order and deliver the tea and cakes. Tea was good as were the cakes, but choice was extremely limited.

I am always wary of scrambled eggs when part of a cooked breakfast as they can be disappointing. The scrambled eggs here are lovely- flavoured with salt and pepper and not watery. I had veggie breakfast and all ingredients good quality- but I do prefer a Linda McCartney’s veggie sausage. Reasonably priced and friendly service. Gets busy at the weekend by 11am - so go earlier and get a seat

It's a "caff". A good one. In fact the food has gentrified a bit recently but without messing up the simple-honest-cafe atmosphere. On my last visit I had the bacon sandwich on brown bread. It was a chunky beast that sustained me for the while afternoon! I recommend it.

Been coming here for years. Veggie breakfast, cheese on toast, sandwiches and jackets are all well cooked and great value. Good coffee and traditional tea with extra hot water. Decor is a bit 60s retro but people sit outside and enjoy the great setting, even in winter. Can be a bit of a queue at peak time and feel quite crowded so choose your time. Dog friendly with bowls of water outside and allowed in one part of the cafe ("paws on the floor" rule). Feels funky and homely.

The decor is fairly basic but we always visit when its a nice day for a walk and sit outside which is very pleasant. The food is always good and the cafe is dog friendly which is great for walkers. Personally I'd recommend the Welsh rarebit or their sandwiches which are always generously filled and on nice bread

Stanmer Park is very English- it is set in beautiful grounds and the tea house is quite grand. The scones were freshly baked when we arrived and came with decadent clotted cream and very nice jam. The almond croissants are also very nice.

Where do I start? The setting upon entering is beautiful unfortunately it is seriously let down by a very basic cafe, with uncleared messy tables all around, ridiculously overpriced food of very basic quality worthy of a roadside cafe. I was shocked at the single cube of sugar in the sorry looking bowl (when we actually found the sugar) Understaffed, and the staff who are there look dazed and uninterested - you almost feel sorry for them. Does not live up to its opulent surroundings in any way at all. Avoid.

Perfect location in Stanmer Park. Decor is miserable but could have such potential. Just lots of signs on the walls saying what you are not allowed to do. No dogs on table, no muddy shoes on the floor, no using the toilets which apparently are for staff only. Customers have to cross the street and use the public toilet! The last sign was bright yellow reminding you that you are being watched by 6 cctv cameras. Everything shouts out that customers are an inconvenience to the staff. Nice little building which could be wonderful if run by someone who wants to run a tearoom.

Атмосферно. Обычное кафе, без какого либо приукрашивания. Неплохой час, сладкий Брауни. В общем, впечатление неплохое. Хорошее место, чтобы возобновить силы и продолжить прогулку по парку

Since it's no longer possible to get a breakfast at The Grand "Proud Stanmer House" during the week at least.....it was breakfast at "Stanmer Park Tea Rooms" this morning, £6.95 for a Full English with a hot drink. This is just round the corner from the main house.

We've been here a few times and the breakfast has always been good. There is wide choice of food on the menu. And the service is very good.

Stopped off after a lovely walk on a gorgeous day. Great location but food disappointing. Cappuccino was out of a machine and shortbread a little stale and dry. Staff friendly.

I love to come here on sundays after walking my dog for a few hours and having a breakfast and coffee, It can be very busy but thats what gives it the charm. The cakes are also amazing another plus for me is you can bring your dog in with you when its raining.

Friendly, personable staff - felt very welcome. Nice quality food and a cozy atmosphere. Stanmer Village is quaint and charming and the tearoom bustling with locals and walkers.

Mean overpriced portions and disgusting toilets. As the "only shop on the block", this establishment clearly feels that it doesn't need to try. My partner and I have been coming here for years at the end of each walk in Stanmer Park.

I have visited here a few times as it is very handy, and the food isn't bad, but the managers attitude certainly is. All she need to is approach people with a smile rather than a scowl and a telling off one would only expect from an 19th Century school teacher!!!

Good selection of home made cakes, but value for money is a little poor. But with plenty of seating it's a good quick stop spot.

We prebooked a table for afternoon tea yet our arrival seemed to take the staff by surprise. Literally our waiter had no idea we were sitting down for afternoon tea.

A very good cup of tea and delicious homemade cakes, dogs are very welcome inside and out. It can get quite busy but it is worth the wait.

We had lunch today in the Library at Stanmer park. Lovely surroundings and a very relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly and very professional. We had the asparagus with egg and the mushroom burger. They were both beautifully presented and very good. The coffee was excellent. Very good value to.

I have used the cafe on this site on and off for about 15 years. Whilst never really keeping track of owners and not so often visited in recent years due to changes in my job, I have been twice recently. It's present standard is very good.

I use this tearoom lots and although its not cheap (thanks probably to all the rates being hiked by the council!!) its cheaper than the café in Stamner House and its a welcome stop all the year round when walking my dog. Love their leek and potato soup and farmers breakfast, and their mugs of tea or coffee are always hot. You can even buy a small bag of dog biscuits for your pet and there is ALWAYS lots of containers of water too. What a shame some reviewers are getting Stamner House café and this well established tea room confused?? this place is around the back by the stables and cow sheds, NOT next to the big house !!!! YES especially on a good weekends, and school holidays you may have to queue but don't you always for popular places ??

We spent about 3 hours walking around Stammer Park and we needed to have something to eat for lunch. We first visited Stammer House but they only serve hot food and it was an expensive option so we walked onto the Tea Rooms. It is about 5/10 mins away. The menu choice was very good - a good choice of sandwiches or hot foods and the prices were more appropriate for lunch. The service was excellent.

This is a great place to meet, sink into a big leather chair or sofa and chill while drinking specialist beverages with delicious home-made cake. One can imagine being a lady taking tea here in past times, looking out onto the Downs. Then one can walk off the calories in the nearby park.

Very thick bread used for my egg Mayo sandwiches, tasty and very filling. Staff seemed a little stressed and grumpy but it was pretty busy. Lots of seating outside and loos just across the road. I always like to stop here after a walk. I think prices are reasonable enough.
