Tea on the Green in Chelmsford

No gluten an dairy free options avaliable, Then to be given half a cup on coffee Won't be going.back anytime soon Shame as the location is very nice.

Visited at lunchtime, but no brunch items available. Only sandwiches and salads. Used to be fabulous food years ago, new owners perhaps? Got order wrong. Only sandwiches available on kids menu. Had to order toast for my toddler. Asked for 2 slices, jam on side. Got 1 slice, jam already on. Sandwiches were tasty, but expensive. Nothing special and Wouldnt go back.

Great disappointment. Used to be a very popular stop for cyclists as well, but none - should perhaps have been a sign of things to come. Wondering if new management? Very slow service despite only 3/4 tables, expensive, unpleasant burnt-tasting scones which left foul taste in mouth and for a long time after, incorrect orders delivered - milk instead of lemon with Earl Grey tea, and milky weak latte coffee instead of flat white, luke warm coffee. 2/3 of waitresses were friendly. Couldn't honestly recommend and we won't be returning.

Nice food but £9.00 for 1 poached egg on one slice of toast I think is really over the top. We had 1 English 1mini English and the egg on toast £41 !!!!!!

Great for breakfast and light lunch and extremely popular. Can tell how good this place is because the local office workers/construction workers etc come in here for take-aways.

Really great place. Good value, great food, great service. Definitely recommend to anyone this lovely place.

The food was average, what should have been hot was cold. The tables outside have seen better days and the little table and chairs are unsuitable for (shall we say bigger people) and the elderly. We were very disappointed. Back to copper kettle house.

We live in Chelmsford and we often drive pass and thought we would go in for a cooked breakfast. There was no one else in the cafe and we gave our order. First the plus points, the tea and coffee were nice and hot, the food arrived quickly, a bit too quickly in my opinion. Now the not so good points. The area was a bit grubby, our table still had the remnants of ketchup or something and the place required freshening up. The plates were cold and the food was warm and went cold very quickly. The only items that were hot were the sausages, but, they were hard and crinkled, my suspicions are that they were left over sausages that had been microwaved. Very expensive for what was offered and not very good value at all.

I wouldn’t come here again.. As my first time in Danbury, there wasn’t much options of places to eat. I’d walked in here in hope of having something for brunch, and seeing it attached and working aside the deli, expected decent dishes. The place looked run down. I’m assuming it was suppose to be a vintage style tea room, but it needs a deep clean, some redecorating, love and attention. Don’t get me wrong, the Lady was friendly who served me, but she was either busy doing something on her computer or round the back in the kitchen, having a conversation with another member of staff, loud enough for the few customers in the front to hear, about someone who was asking general questions about the place and probably wasn’t satisfied either. I was close to just walking out without paying, but had the decency to pop my head round and ask to pay. So attention to customers is needed, checking to see if they need anything. I had eggs Benedict and a mocha. I wouldn’t say the meal was worth 8.95. The eggs looked sad. Taste wise, it was okay but it wasn’t wow. The presentation could of been much better, and again, not sure if it’s suppose to be vintage related, but just plain white plates would have been better. I know it was miserable outside which didn’t help, but the lighting and brightness was dark. Cobwebs and rested dust on lights, overhead fan, windowsills and other places. Floor needed a good sweep and tables needed cleaning. It wasn’t exactly busy so one of the ladies could have swept and cleaned the tables as soon as people left. Most of the chairs were stained, the wallpaper shows wear and tear, and the bathroom tiling looked unpleasant. Toilet sign needed and lock on the bathroom cupboard, as bleach was hanging out. Deep clean and air freshener needed.

Popped in for lunch with the wife. Had to be quick to get a table due to the popularity of the venue. Nice and clean and the staff were great. The food was fantastic, but tea overpriced. The food looks exactly the same in real life as in the social media pictures. We will be going back in the warmer days so we can use the outside tables.

fancied a treat so got the bus here but were told that they were too busy for us as they had a big booking, there is no where else to go in danbury so we had to just get the next bus home an hour later, a r waste of a journey and the 10 pound bus fare!

The service in this cafe has gone downhill terribly. The last time I visited with my mum, we were left at the door for 10 mins before being asked to sit down, and greeted with a less than great attitude when we finally tried to get someone’s attention. Today - we were sitting for 15 minutes being ignored by staff, without even being asked if we wanted a drink. This time we just walked out and will give our money/business to people who actually want it. Such a shame, as we have been long term supporters of this local business including throughout Covid.

We always stop here for coffee on our once in a while day out in Maldon. We can park right outside and enjoy the sunshine sitting at one of the outside tables, this time with our newly adopted doggie. The staff are friendly, the cakes are good, and the setting is lovely, overlooking a duck pond at the heart of an elongated village. A perfect stop- we'll be back again soon...

First time back since pre pandemic. Used to visit here regularly and always had a good experience with current owners and long time previous owners. Booked table 45 mins b4 on a Saturday lunch time (unlike a few others in the area who won't take bookings 'because of school holidays - 🥱) Fast order taking, served fast too and no items missed. Gluten free bread available which suited my wife. Overall a great lunch. Bakery next door owned by same as tea room. Thanks to the teams in both places.

Despite a drop of rain, with the clever addition of cabins a fantastic afternoon was enjoyed by the family tucking in to well filled sandwiches, mouthwatering quiches and truly “may I have another” jam and cream scones, served by friendly and efficient waitresses

What an amazing afternoon tea we had in the lovely decorated Cabins for my friends 50th Birthday . Kelly and her staff were so attentive . The sandwiches and freshly baked cakes and scones were delicious . Plenty of tea refills and a nice bottle of Prosecco . Would thoroughly recommend a visit .

Took my parents here when they came to visit me at uni as I’ve heard really good things about this place. However, disappointed doesn’t even cover it. I’m vegan and ordered the green Thai curry which completely lacked flavour and taste. Yet this biggest disappointment came with my parent’s food. Both ordered eggs royale and both found bits of grit and sand in their spinach and clear indication it hadn’t been washed. Furthermore, my Dad found a large piece of eggshell in his dish, putting him off the rest and leaving over half . I understand this is a mistake which happens so we politely spoke to the manager about the issues he thought it was acceptable to only take half of my dad’s food off the bill and nothing more. When questioned about this he came across and frankly rude and dismissive - although he eventually did take my dads meal off in full. Overall, this place was such a large disappoint. The only redeeming feature was our server (I believe his name was Michale) who was honestly fantastic and so incredibly helpful.

Furniture and decor is a bit shabby chic but none the worse for it. The food was very good, tasty and plentiful, would recommend.

I was looking forward to my toasted Stilton and mango chutney toastie all morning. It was so awful with NO cheese and just spoonfuls of mango chutney so I left the lot! I thought this had come up again after the wonderful food the previous manager made but it's gone right back down again to when it first opened under new management. It was nearly empty. It lacks style and feels bare. The chairs are awful, obviously bought from a job lot wedding fare. Re vamp this and get a decent cheif. I will not return or recommend.

Nice place. Food ok. Staff pleasant. BUT the place needs a good clean. Windows dirty from hands. Chairs need a clean both fabric and frames. Skirting boards are shocking. A place like this should be painted on a regular basis to keep it fresh, it’s what you want to see when eating.

Really enjoyed our first visit to Tea on the Green where we stopped for coffee on a quiet Tuesday late mnorning - friendly staff, excellent choice of cakes and light lunches - well worth a visit - parking can be awkward as cafe is loked quite close to a double roundabout junction

met up with an old friend we both use to live in Danbury so thought be a good idea latte was lovely as for the food way to much couldn't eat it all and very tasty staff happy and helpful don't be put off by the negative reviews will be going back

My boyfriend and I came here for some late breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Nice staff and delicious food. Even topped it off with a scone at the end! Recommended.

The photos honestly do not represent the truth and are seriously over flattering. Honestly we stood outside wondering if we had the correct place . Plastic tablecloths, fake plastic flowers - it’s summer for goodness sake use beautiful local flowers. The 2 staff were just plain miserable and obviously wished they were not at workOr serving us .Breakfast was tasteless, boring- coffee not much better.This is a gorgeous village and I urge someone too take this place over and give it a complete facelift.

Have visited here before and had a lovely lunch. Today was a very different story.Quiche was advertised on the chalk board but by 12 o’clock only one available. I was disappointed and so was another customer beside me. Another request was salt beef sandwich- no salt beef or roast beef. I asked for a baked potato - none available. A friend had told me they had not been able to get the same requests a few weeks ago.

Lovely lunch here today! My quiche was delicious and came with a good salad......they also had vegan options for my husband 👍 Very good Coffee too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

LocationThe establishment is located opposite the Danbury duck pond . There is free parking however there are limited spaces.MenuThe menu offered a good range of choices with a good range of tea on offerThe portions that we received were ample and well presentedService This was good with the person serving us with a smile

Cute little tea room, perfect for afternoon tea.

First visit and will definately be back. Great menu, lots of choice, lovely breakfast for all five of us. Perfect coffee. We sat outside on the bench table and was served by a lovely lady. We will be back soon. This time for lunch and cake. Highly recommend.

Quaint tree room where you can get a full English breakfast an afternoon tea and much more if you like a plough mans, you'll be delighted it s huge .The staff are really friendly . This is a must if your in the area

The rest of the team and I get lunch here every day and we wouldn’t go anywhere else! Sam and the rest of the ladies are always so welcoming and the service and food are always top notch!

What a great little place I have a business in Danbury so take customers and suppliers from time to time for breakfast or lunch always a nice selection of fresh food nicely presented and served with a smile

It's quite tight space wise but the staff do an amazing job with the small space they have in the tiny kitchen. The food is lovely and generous portions . The menu is quite varied and the cakes are amazing. The staff are very friendly too. All in all it is a nice experience.

Had a full English breakfast which was not worth returning for. The sausages I’m pretty sure had been reheated from yesterday as they had rubbery skins that you can normally get with a long time in the oven. The beans seemed to have been watered down. Overall not appetising at all. Shame as their breakfasts used to be tasty.

I wouldn't say that I am a regular visitor but I do go there every now and again either to have the Full English Breakfast or Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon on Granary Toast. Both favourites of mine and a great way to start the day. The service is quick, the staff friendly and you can always book in advance if you want a particular table at a specific time.They also have a great selection of cakes and pastries. In the summer you can sit outside overlooking the village green. All in all a very pleasant place to while away an hour or so if you are in the locality.

This is the second visit in a month. The staff are super friendly and accommodating, and give a warm welcome. The food is so reasonably priced, and absolutely delicious. The portions and very generous but of great quality. We love it here, so much so that we drove 20 minutes to get here just for breakfast.

Excellent menu but gets very busy and crowded at lunch time - they do a wonderful avocado with poached egg which i thoroughly recommend.

First visit for myself, first impression quaint tea room, tea was served in a lovely tea pot with attractive cup and saucer, my sister and I both ordered jacket potato’s as although only 1pm the special’s had already gone. My jacket was filled full with cheese and coleslaw and tasted great but the great pity was the skin was black/burnt totally. Desert was Bakewell tart which was delicious. Did feel the price was expensive for a tea room though

Visited here with a few cyclist friends as a breakfast stop-off and we sat outside. I only ordered a sausage sandwich, which tasted very average and not worth the price being charged.

Although they are always very busy the staff do a wonderful job. The food is great, plentiful, fress and top quality.

It was a super hot morning so we sat outside. The service was very friendly and the coffee was served in quick time. The flavour was only average and again the table wobbled severely and the milk is still served cold.

Great little tea room with very helpful friendly staff, we have visited this place a few times and they have hit the spot every time, great breakfast

Saw this as we passed so stopped for a cup of tea and cake

Maybe I'm the wrong person to judge this type of place, but I would say the definition a tea room is basically a cafe for an affluent area. I went here because my wife likes tea and cake, which of course - like jacket potatoes and fry up's is simple fair.

Absolutely delightful home cooked scones & cakes very high standard more than enough selection Well presented with pretty crockery service was exceptional will definitely go again!!

We spotted this lovely, little tea room on our way to the coast. Very friendly and helpful waitress who was lovely to us and our dog and brought her water immediately. We just had bacon sandwiches but they were great with fresh, delicious granary bread and a generous portion of bacon. Pleasant setting on the green in Danbury. Next time - we would make a diversion to visit!!

Such a shame used to be a beautiful tea room with previous owner. Only had beans on toast. Beans were in a little pot just warm had to butter own toast then overpriced won’t go again.

About time to visit again since the take over.....

We fancied one of Tea on the Green's fabulous coffees and while we were there the smell of lunches being prepared were just too tempting to ignore! We had a freshly made club sandwich, which was the best I have ever tasted. Well done ladies, keep up the good work. We will be back next week!

Have recently visited and enjoyed a brilliant cooked breakfast. Was impressed by the menu choices too and the overall appearance and service. 6 of us ate here and all food came out together, perfect. Thank you.

I haven’t been to Tea on the green for some time, although we have been going for over 10 years. It’s always had a nice cosy atmosphere.

We have been here a number of times over the last year and always enjoy the friendly service and light lunches. Tip - avoid early mornings on school days when they can be very busy with people meeting after the school run.

A really nice place for a lovely cup of tea with sandwiches and yummy cakes . Staff are really friendly and professional . I have been there so many times with my family for tea for the past five years .

Lovely food especially the cakes and tarts. The crispy bacon sandwich on gluten free bread was very tasty. Followed by...

I have passed this teashop on numerous occasions but it took a special effort to arrive here at a time...

After reading some of the reviews on Trip Advisor we were unsure what to expect, but I am glad we...

Popped in for a cup of tea and cake along with a sneaky bacon sandwich. Was a bit baffled at first as the waitress ignored us and carried on chatting so an actual customer had to tell us that you just sat wherever you liked. When she came over she handed the pile of menus to me and not to each individual which I thought was a bit rude. The food however was very nice. Very fresh and tasty and the tea was really enjoyable. The service improved as we got our food but I think they need to work on their welcome a bit more as I felt I was intruding.

Un salto después de un recomendación. Nos hicieron sentir como el mayor inconveniente. Asquerosa manera tratar a la gente. Regalo de cumpleaños para mi madre, y sólo tenía que salir al final tardaron tanto tiempo, no les importó. Camarera era la autocomplacencia, tuve que ayudar a sugerir cómo podrían sentarse nosotros o donde. Nos pidieron cambiar de una mesa sucia, ni siquiera limpia primero. Juro que nunca he ver tan mala atención al cliente, totalmente cuidado. No pude Así que no me molestaría en perder su dinero! Una experiencia horrible, u menos te gusta sentirte como un inconveniente

Went the wrong way on a walk and ended up here. Just for a cup of (decaffeinated) tea. We sat outside with our dog, and enjoyed the shade, and drank the tea. Sorry, I can't speak for the food, but it looked good. Service was friendly and efficient.

I have been going here for years and never thought to review it. I have always enjoyed the food and the staff are always friendly. This time did not disappoint either. The menu is expansive with different types of sandwiches, toasties, wraps, etc. It is fresh and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend any of the cakes they have as they are amazing. There is a child menu and an abundance of drinks and desserts. I would suggest booking as it can get very busy and if the car park is full go through it and past the pharmacy as there is parking on the road.

Brilliant service and food.Afternoon tea is absolutely wonderful,you get a choice of two sandwich fillings, any of the cakes and you get a lovely scone with clotted cream and Tiptree Jam!

Living nearby, I have had the misfortune to go to this place for a year now. While the food is standard for a tea room, the service is amongst the worst I have ever experienced. It takes an age for one of the waitresses to catch your eye. Often I go there, wait 15 minutes and then leave. Very unprofessional place. As for the sandwich shop next door - arrogant staff and the sandwich ingredients are seldom there. Danbury could do with some competition as this place only survives because of its monopoly. They've become complacent. Advise trying one of the tea rooms in Maldon to anyone reading this.

Very fresh and tasty food with plenty on the plate. My Mum and I visited this tea shop that changed hands about 3 years ago. We went on Bank Holiday Monday end of May and we're told straight away that there would be a half hour wait for food. The team room was busy with couples and families of all ages and both of us ordered a tuna nicoise salad that came with a choice of bread. We waited around 20 to 25 mins in total and the plates came up full of fresh salad with a decent portion of tuna, black olives, large capers, crisp green lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and a separate pots of mustard salad dressing and homemade coleslaw, with granary bread and butter. The whole plateful was very fresh and tasty and we'll worth the £8.25. Coffees were £2 each. Other plates of food that people had ordered were brimming too. Very generous portions. We will return again. No meanness there at all. No wonder it was popular.

Had a really nice sausage sandwich With a nice pot of tea Great thing about this place is the choice of teas and quality of food Prices are reasonable and the staff friendly And attentive Good menu. Good selection of sandwiches Hot meals with daily specials Another very good restaurant / cafe In Danbury Location is on the green overlooking the pond Excellent

I occasionally pop in on the 'school mums morning thing' and always have excellent tea & cake/breakfast. Lovely food, clearly homemade and real tea room setting!

I have been here twice and both visits have been good...but could have been better. The food is very good, and is served on old fashioned crockery, afternoon tea is very filling! However the first time we visited, we requested a refill on teas...this literally meant they just put more hot water in the teapot (no new tea bag). They also offered my dad a refill on his coffee. Only to be then told by a manager that the waitress shouldn't have allowed this but she would honour this one (we didn't need to know this, it was no fault of our own and should have just been addressed with the waitress). Second time we reserved a table a day in advance for afternoon tea, and it took over half an hour to get our food. We weren't in a rush so this was fine, but seeing as we'd prebooked, surely this could have been quicker. Although this time we did get a proper tea refill!Anyway, only minor points on otherwise a good couple of visits.

We stopped off not knowing where we were going to eat. It had turned chilly at the outdoor event we were at and I remembered Tea On The Green from some time back. It was perfect for lunch as a location, food and service. Good, old fashioned thoughtfulness proper crockery and serviettes. Our guests were very impressed and we were all very happy with everything.

We had been here a couple of years ago and enjoyed it so thought coming back on Mother's Day would be a good idea. The food was nice.. when it arrived. We were there for afternoon tea but there's no actual afternoon tea menu and it was an effort to find out what we could actually have- half the sandwiches on the main menu arnt available for afternoon tea, and there's no list of cake, you have to specifically ask.We waited at least 20 mins for our teas to arrive and we waited 45 mins from when we ordered for our afternoon tea to arrive! Others came in after us (after much standing around waiting for the tables they had booked) and got their afternoon tea much quicker than us so seems maybe we were unlucky...Scones were really cold but staff were happy to heat them. The sandwiches and cakes were nice but the service was just very slow and it felt like no one was in charge of our table, and there was a general feeling of disorganisation. We went to ask for the bill as felt we could have waited ages for anyone to notice we had finished.Luckily my mum is easy going and just appreciated being taking out but we certainly won't be returning or recommending this place anymore.

As a local I use Tea on the Green sparingly. It's cosy and quaint and perfect for village needs, but always packed. Our table was sticky and service was slow but the food is worth it. Most food ordered on the menu is always fresh delicious and well presented. Many friends have commented that they wish the breakfasts had non- veggie options - however this doesnt bother me if its the cafe's aesthetic. Bit pricey bit perhaps venture further to the coast at maldon or heybridge where the tearooms are fantastic. On this occasion our service was slow for a weekday - unusual considering this cafe actually has a waitlist of local girls who want to work there. I thoroughly commend their range of food and teas.

Partner and I come here all the time for a very special breakfast that is well cooked and delicious. Little shabby chic/ vintage style plates and tea cups etc add a lovely, quaint finishing touch. Nice ladies, always accommodating, even when we bring our screamy baby!

Called in for a quick cup of tea and a piece of cake before going on to an appointment in the locality. Only two other customers in the place, so I expected decent service. The ladies serving seemed friendly enough, but were definitely more interested in chatting to each other rather than paying attention to the customers orders. It is a basic expectation that, in a tea room, the customer will get the piece of cake served with the tea, and not 10 minutes later with the lame excuse 'we got the orders mixed up'. That would be forgiveable in a busy restaurant, but when there are only two customers it seems incompetent and unprofessional. The table was dirty too, with a tea spill from a previous diner. Needless to say, I shan't be hurrying back.

Popped to Tea on the Green for a spot of lunch. Great menu and service. And if you are up for a bit of shopping, pop next door to the deli. It has swapped ownership to the Tea Rooms owner. Great range of gifts for Christmas and a tempting deli counter too.

A friend and two others went here the other day, they ordered two sandwiches and a piece of cake. One with a sandwich offered a piece to my friend and when she accepted they asked for a plate and knife. The waitress said that was fine but would cost £2.50!!! When my friend queried this she was told this was usual for other restaurants. My friend said the waitress was rude and she felt humiliated as others could hear what was going on. My friend and the two others left.As I said ... unbelievable.

Lovely venue, lovely staff and fantastic food....I recently visited with my wife and our two young children. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We will certainly be going back soon. If you live locally and haven't been yet, shame on you!

We paid a study visit to Poundbury on a cold windy Saturday morning and this was the first cafe we saw, so walked in. The waiters were in smiles but acted slow and a bit strange. We then realised from the notice board on the table that they were with learning difficulties. The food was OK and the service was not as professional as you would have in normal cafes, but it made you feel special that somehow you engaged in helping those who needed the opportunity to prove themselves.

Visited today (Tuesday)and the tea room was very busy.We booked a table and were greeted by friendly staff. We had theirjacket potatoe with cheese and crispy bacon, delicious! followed byhomemade coffee and walnut cake and tea served in bone china cups and saucers. The service was excellent. The tea room is setin a pretty location in Danbury and well worth a visit.

it does what it says on the tin. Very popular which can lead to a drop in service speed. Excellent choice and quality

My friend and I popped in for lunch after being recommended. Not an immediate welcome and the waitress seemed a bit flustered that she had customers. After being seated she took ages to take our order even though it wasn't busy. She became very agitated when we started to tell her our order because she told us we were talking too fast! Very strange experience as we felt it was all a bit too much for her. The food was ok but nothing special, think they have far too much on the menu, quantity rather than quality. When we tried to include a tip on the bill she told us she couldn't do that, wasn't allowed so they missed out! Won't be rushing back and won't recommend to other friends.

Certainly the best coffee shop in the area situated in Danbury overlooking the picturesque village green. All the food is made to order and to the customers request, delicious homemade cakes, perfect Cappuccino with real chocolate added and Milk Shakes to die for - my Granddaughters favourite. The staff are lovely being both friendly and efficient. To avoid disappointment it is essentially to book lunch times as it is very popular with both locals and visitors. I can't recommend 'Tea on the Green' highly enough. Regular customer.

We walked our two donkeys up to the common and had a lovely bagel breakfast outside tea on the green and they even bought some carrots out for our donkeys! Lovely food & lovely service .

We have been several times now and never disappointed. There is a nice cosy atmosphere and the service is great and friendly. Have tried to order differently each time and always delighted with the presentation and taste.. The prices are also very reasonable.

The Tea Room is in a very pretty location with parking. The menu very good and interesting. The food decently presented and good. The staff very friendly but extremely laid back in attending to the customers.We were not served quickly at all and yet there were only 4 other customers at the time. The floor could have looked cleaner. I will try it again but we were dying for a coffee having driven 150 miles but it all was Very slow for no apparent reason. Liven up girls.!!!

Nice inside and service was good. Went for breakfast and had bagel with scrambled egg and bacon, bagel was soggy and far too much bacon which was over cooked, coffee was nice and my friends scrambled egg and smoked salmon she enjoyed, won't hurry back.

Been here 3 separate times now, the food is so fresh and tasty. Presentation is always perfect and plenty of variety, at a very reasonable price. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, nothing is ever a problem. Atmosphere is so nice you can sit inside or out the front overlooking the green. Keep it up ladies, lovely place to escape to.

We used to visit here quite a lot but recently the place has gone downhill. The floor needed cleaning, the service was slow (member of staff chatted and we had to wait ages to have our order taken) and the quality of the food not great.

Nice location at Eves Corner, Danbury, with the green and pond to the front. Parking is good with small car park to the front and parking to the rear.Good quality food at reasonable price. One problem is that it is cash only, no cards accepted.Staff pleasant and helpful.

We visited last year just after the new owners took over and found it not to the same award winning standard of the previous owners.We left it some time to hope these were just initial teething problems.Unfortunately it hasn't improved.Sandwiches were good and tasty but the restaurant lacks the character the former owners had created and service in a almost empty place was very slow. 30 minutes from order to get our sandwiches!£18 for two sandwiches, one tea and one cold drink deserves more in return.It's a pity but the place is only OK but nothing more.

A nice stop when exploring the Danbury area, pleasant surroundings and some unusual sandwiches, well worth a "pop in" when in the area.

Fortunately I booked a table as it was very busy and half term week. We had tea excellent selection and a large scone and jam delicious. The tearoom is very pleasant and tables just far enough away from each other. There was no pressure to leave once we had finished and the staff were helpful and friendly. I shall be returning!

Wow!,I have never been to such a nice cafe . I loved the chocolate waffle I could marry it ,all staff are wonderful(Especially Kelly).the Tea is scrumptious ,the milk shakes watered in my mouth. This is the best of the best .By age 9 person.

Beautiful afternoon tea - great choice of sandwiches, warm stones with clotted cream and local jam and huge slices of cake. Also worth trying their lunch menu - great choice and good value for money. Helpful staff and never hurried

I recently returned to this fabulous little tea shop which has got even better since I last visited. The new owner has introduced an improved menu, beautiful decor & super comfy shabby chic chairs, which I would normally expect to find in an expensive bar in London! The menu now has many healthy options, including breakfast & allergy friendly alternatives. The gluten free bread & cake were scrummy. I was relieved to see the sugar in sachets as it is much more hygienic than cubes on the table. The service was friendly, warm & very helpful. Everything is cooked fresh by the order and it is clear that the new owner has carefully considered the products & ingredients used as everything was of the highest quality. It was a beautiful sunny day & we enjoyed the new outside seating area. We shall be returning soon & as ever highly recommend Tea on the Green as the best tea shop in the area!

I think this place has potential and it's nice to know that it's family run.We had tea and sandwhiches. The tea was from a tea bag aulthough it was pricey. The sugar was in sachets (not cubes).The service was polite and friendly but a little 'hap hazard' it was busy in there, so this can possibly be excused.We would have liked cake after the sandwhiches but waited too long for a waitress so gave up. The sandwhiches had some pretty carrot displayed in the shape of a flower. The coleslaw was nice but the crisps tasted cheap. There seemed to be a vast array of sandwhiches to choose from (perhaps too many).The cake did look very nice in the display case.The chairs were very large and cumbersome which can make it difficult to get in and out.There were no table clothes or coasters.

Not much seating and a pretty limited menu, however it is perfect for tea/coffee and cake on the green.

Visited a few days ago for the first time in a while. And it is still the case thata) the food is lovely, butb) the service is incredibly slow, for no good professional reason, andc) it is so stuffy inside. They don't apparently have air-con, or windows that open. Even in April, there's condensation on the window and an atmosphere where one wishes an oxygen cannister was near at hand.

Enjoyed another wonderful lunch at Tea on the Green today with friends. This is without doubt our favourite Tea Shop and place to lunch!Friendly staff, great food and fantastic choice of tea and home made cakes!!!Love Love Love!! D X

On a recent visit we came upon this small tea room. It was absolutely packed with people, we were lucky to find a table. I had a bacon sandwich (superb) and coffee and my wife had a scrambled egg, pumpernickel bread, avocado breakfast affair and a cup of tea, all for £14.45 which I thought quite reasonable. The staff were rushed of their feet, but the service was very quick and the girls were very nippy. Must go again soon!
