After a recommendation we hired the Brewery Tea Rooms for a reception after my sister’s funeral. We cannot fault the kindness, attention to detail and the service we received from the ladies at the Tea Room on what was inevitably a difficult day. All the food was very freshly made and tea and coffee in plentiful supply. The Brewery Tea Rooms met our needs perfectly and we can highly recommend a visit. Thank you so much ladies for all your efforts on our behalf.

after experiencing an afternoon tea, I tried one of their lunch options. There was a choice of 6 options for lunch, I tried the panini. It came with crisps and a salad and was well presented. To accompany this was a cup of tea chosen from the book of teas they offer. It was made fresh and tasted nice. Afterwards I treated myself to a slice of cake from the selection of cakes and meringues they freshly made and were on display. The ladies behind the counter offered a truly professional service and made sure our visit was memorable

Having visit on numerous occasions, it was the place of choice to show my friends first hand why it is always recommended. As always the selection of food for our Afternoon Tea was amazing, served by lovely friendly staff, who cannot do enough to make our visit a memorable and special occasion. Excellent choice of teas and Coffees to support the good selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes. My friend enjoyed the Afternoon Tea and we both agreed we will be back very soon. Highly Recommended

Very pleasant indeed. we enjoyed a fine selection of fresh sandwiches, cakes and scones. The selection of loose leaf teas is exceptional as is the service. The staff work tirelessly to ensure you are well stocked and satisfied. Delightfull crockery , very delicate china. Gift shop filled with good quality items, mixture of clothing, accessories and gifts. Been before and will again. Highly recommend and booking is necessary.

Just a wonderful tea room with a lovely atmosphere and exceptional service. We came for high tea which provided a tasty selection of sandwiches and excellent choice of cakes and scones. The menu featured an extensive range of leaf teas and we were free to choose more than one so we could try teas we had never tried before...recommend Blue Lady, extremely tasty. Make sure you're hungry, there's a lot to get through.

A great cream tea without the journey to Devon or Cornwall! The place itself is quite quirky and full of original character. Food and service were excellent, everything is homemade, worth booking if you know when you're going as it does get busy.

Not impressed. Plenty of food, but quite why it is necessary to put mint in a cucumber sandwich or sweet sauce in a ham sandwich escapes me. Cakes were barely satisfactory - rocky road is a strange and, in my view, unacceptable choice. Scones were also barely satisfactory - tasted of baking soda. Ambiance is unusual - a cross between a tea shop and TK Maxx, with clothes on rails, scented soaps and novelties which made it feel like tea in a charity drop- without the lived in smell!! Cobbled access was challenging. Price was 50% more than the much more acceptable offer at the Swan Hotel in Bedford, where the cakes and everything were much better snd dietary requirements were cheerfully met without a surcharge being imposed. Finally, being required to pay on booking was an unwelcome surprise. Won't be going back!!

We recently celebrated my Mum's surprise birthday here and were thoroughly impressed. The staff were extremely helpful throughout the whole process and answered all questions promptly. The tea room has a warm, welcoming and cosy atmosphere, which was perfect for the occasion. The variety of teas and the quality of food, especially the stunning and delicious birthday cake, were highlights of the day. Overall the staff provided a wonderful experience for a memorable birthday celebration. I highly recommend this tea room for anyone looking to host a special event or simply enjoy a delightful afternoon tea experience!

We were gifted an afternoon high tea voucher and finally made it to the tea rooms. Very warm welcome and our choice of tea was delivered promptly. The stand with sandwiches, scones, cream and jam, plus an assortment of small cakes was a sight to see! We never thought we would manage to eat it all but we certainly tried and we did! It was all delicious and all the ladies working there were so nice and friendly. A lovely afternoon! Hope to return.

When your boyfriend says he’d like afternoon tea for his Easter birthday … and you remember a place that friends recommended somewhere near Stevenage. Well this place delivered on all counts. From the cheery ladies who took the booking and then welcomed us so warmly. The rustic, quaint but perfect decor, table settings and crockery. It’s exactly as a tea room should be. Food was delicious and I really appreciated the vegetarian variations. Didn’t think I’d like cucumber sandwiches - but adding mint is a game changer. But really, we were only there for the cakes which were extremely tasty. We were so full that a few of them had to be takeaways … snacks for later. And thank you for adding the birthday cake topper and candle as a surprise. It was perfect!

We have just spent what should have been a lovely couple of hours having an albeit early afternoon tea with friends. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. But it came to 2:20pm and we were told the table was needed for 2:30pm . We wish we’d been told this at the start. I had to leave a half drunk cup of tea…. Putting my coat on and drinking so at least I had some of it! The table was being cleared and wiped down before we’d even walked away. Having driven for nearly two hours to meet up with friends it all seemed a little uncomfortable. It’s sad to have to write this as the staff were very friendly . They just needed us to go. The tea room was very busy and I fully understand in this current financial climate that businesses need customers. It just felt awkward .

I contacted the Brewery Tea rooms when I needed to make arrangements for my mum's funeral. I wanted to have "high tea" after the service and Sarah could not have been more accommodating. She recommended the quantity and variety of food and I was absolutely delighted with the final spread. From the finger sandwiches, rolls and mini cakes to the generously sized scones with jam and clotted cream, everything was delicious and presented to a high standard. She even provided lovely china for our tea and coffee so we wouldn't have to use disposable cups and plates. I would thoroughly recommend the Brewery Tea Rooms.

Went here today for the first time. Be very careful. Nothing is priced, you do not know what you are paying for anything until you actually go to pay, then they don't tell you, just hand you the card machine. We had a cup of tea (in a paper cup), a cup of Latte (in a paper cup) and one fruit scone with jam and butter. We were charged £11.95!!I don't mind paying a little over the odds for these sort of places, you expect it, but this is plain extortion.

I recently used the call and collect service and was very impressed with the professionalism as well as the safety procedures that the tea rooms currently have in place. When I arrived, I was asked to collect my scones from the back entrance which I had no trouble in finding thanks to the brilliant sign posting. Once at the correct entrance, my order was passed to me through a hatch in the panel by a member of the friendly team. The food itself was spectacular, and the service was excellent, highly recommended.

What a fantastic place to visit. Myself and a friend had afternoon tea today which we booked in advance. We opened the front door to find this fabulously quaint, quintessentially English tea room. I was taken aback by the gorgeous decor, atmosphere, warmth, lovely little touches here and there, what I would aspire to be if I could have a place like this. Our afternoon tea did not disappoint us, a selection of savoury finger sandwiches, various cakes and of course the most decadent home made scones, pure bliss. The staff, well what can I say, welcoming, so friendly, attentive and caring, introduced themselves to us and even asked if this was a celebration visit. Just pure pleasure, nothing was too much trouble. I can't wait to take my Mum so she can experience what we did today. Highly recommend this fantastic tea room, I can not praise it enough, you must visit, make sure you book in advance, places like this get busy and so they should with their excellent 5* food and service. Thank you for our amazing, brilliant and superb experience today. :-) xxxxx

I kept hearing about the afternoon tea at The Brewery Tea Room and eventually booked it as an early valentine treat for my husband. We are a fan of afternoon tea and have been to lots of different ones in London and this was easily as good if not better than some. You have to pay in advance because the cakes are made fresh and the were really good, the scones were amazing and the sandwiches were lovely. We've already booked to go back for lunch, we saw some people having lunch and the food looked lovely. The service is great and so friendly, all in all nothing to complain about and highly recommended.

The tea rooms are a delight to behold, just what you could imagine it would be. Food is good but nothing special and the staff can be a bit short. My real reason for the score is that on any given day an awful lot of the tables are reserved so if you visit a lot of the time I have had to walk out again. Don't go there before school kicks out as a lot of mums go in for coffee. Although I live in the village I and many others I know have stopped using it and go elsewhere.

The hot chocolates are amazing you can choose from milk, white or dark hot chocolates with marshmallows and a flake. The teas are made with fresh loose tea leaves which taste much better than standard teas - your spoilt for choice with tea they have a HUGE selection. The homemade Victoria sponge was very yummy - very spoilt for choice with the cake selection. They have a little gift shop at the back which sell some little quirky gifts or if your looking for something abit different. The prices are very reasonable and would defiantly coming back. They have a tip jar and instead of it going to the staff it goes to charities which is a lovely idea. Highly recommend

This was my first visit and I had a wonderful time in this unexpected and lovely tea room in Walkern. The sandwiches were very tasty and fresh and the ham and redcurrent was wonderful. Beautiful fresh bread with traditional fillings with a nice twist. The cakes were plentiful and well made and the scones were a nice size with plenty of jam and cream. There was a good choice of tea and I enjoyed the top up. The staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. We sat near the door at a lovely small table and my double seat was very comfortable. The restaurant was quite busy but I didn’t feel cramped in any way and it felt quite spacious. I’m guessing that lunch here would be really lovely too looking at the menu. Booking is recommended. It was nice to be able to take away the leftover cakes in the readily available bag and paper plate.

Attended the tea room which is quite small and therefore noisy when at full capacity. Although every member of staff we encountered was friendly, we were a little disappointed with the lack of food options. We were given a menu which basically referred us to the specials board but the specials board also did not clarify what was on offer specifically that day. Therefore at time of ordering the server runs through what they have which feels a little pressured as I like to take my time and look at the menu to decide what I want. The chalkboard could be updated daily? There was no mention of a certain dish I ordered but as I had overheard the staff talking about it and another dish (also not mentioned) behind the counter I was able to ask for this myself. It would also be great if milkshakes were added to the menu. ‘Flavoured milk’ was on the menu but the server seemed surprised and said they don’t think this was something they do anymore. We did also find the items a little overpriced. The cakes and scones etc certainly looked lovely and fresh but unfortunately our overall experience did not meet expectations and it also took a long time to pay. The tea room was a little out of our way and therefore we probably would not return based on our visit. Also surprised at the managements response to any review left with less than 5 stars. I feel the reviews with less than five stars have been fair and also reflective of my own visit.

Very friendly, welcoming staff. We booked a table for 12noon but they had already sold out of many things. The coffee was good, but served in very tiny tea cups, so not good value. The tea room and shop are both very small and cramped, the place was noisy, so hard to talk. The food was limited, but tasty. It’s in close proximity to Bennington Lordship, so convenient for lunch prior to a visit there. Maybe on a quieter day it would have been more relaxing. We really liked the enthusiasm of the staff, but the tearoom either needs to be bigger, or they need to have fewer tables.

My favourite place for afternoon tea. I’ve been many times for lunch or afternoon tea, as well as for special occasions such as Mother’s Day and Christmas. The food is always lovely and the service friendly. They well deserve all the awards they’ve won over the years.

We booked a table for 6 afternoon tea and it was a real treat. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and Santa who was also there to greet us. The tearoom was buzzing with all tables taken, so booking prior to your visit is recommended. The afternoon tea itself was a real delight and we enjoyed tastefully presented sandwiches, scones, Christmas cake and a variety of other scrumptious pastries and cakes. We were offered an array of different teas, coffees, hot chocolate and soft drinks to complement our food and these too were beautifully presented. A small shop, attached to the tea room, has many unique gift items for sale at reasonable prices and a visit to this is a delight.

The menu has lots of choice and most of it is homemade and can heartily recommend the scones and lots of the other cakes. I had fresh leaf tea, which was a pleasant change from the usual 1bag in a tea pot! all served up in a china pot with proper cups and saucers - a delight. The service was exceptional and the main room was cosy with plenty of character. Highly recommended

We were invited by friends for afternoon High Tea. A table had been reserved for us and we were seated immediately. Whilst the Tea Rooms were full and busy, it was warm and welcoming and we had a lovely reception by the staff who explained everything and took our orders. The Tea with Sandwiches, Scones and Cakes arrived and was both plentiful and delicious. Sadly we could not eat it all but on leaving were provided with 'doggy bags' . All the staff were happy, friendly and professional. Highly recommended

Everything about this afternoon tea was lovely. The sandwiches were wonderfully moist and delicious (especially the cucumber + mint ones). The scones were fresh and the cakes were to die for.

This wonderful tea room is in a small village called Walkern minutes from Stevenage town center. Fresh home made sandwiches fabulous home made scones with jam and cream and just super lovely cakes and many teas to choose from to. I had been before and just thought and said this is how afternoon should be a wonderful experience so i brought friends back and they just loved every moment. The service and the staff are the very best your get, plus they have a great little gift shop selling all sorts of bits and not over priced at all. If you enjoy afternoon tea please have a drive out to this wonderful tea rooms remember you may have to book.

We went with friends as a treat for High Tea. We were greeted on arrival and shown to our table. Everything was clearly explained and we felt very relaxed. All the food was freshly prepared, with interesting fillings in the sandwiches. Our friends are vegetarian, and their sandwiches too were equally delicious. Scones and cakes were very light. There was just the right amount of food for our party. A large variety of leaf teas to choose from too. We also liked the way all gratuities went to local charities as their way f giving back to the community. We also had a look around their enchanting shop. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely go there again.

Have been here before for cakes and lunch but always fancied trying the full afternoon Tea with bubbles for two. Luckily we got a gift voucher for Xmas and finally got to use it today. Had the most amazing experience, wonderful food and drink and as always, pleasant and friendly staff and hosts. Everything was fresh, nicely presented, and individual to us. We will be returning again very soon.

A group of 9 of us booked for a lunchtime catchup session. The food was wonderful, reasonably priced, a lovely atmosphere with fabulous service. They even managed to tailor each persons bill without a fuss, highly recommended.

Service always welcoming and very attentive. Lovely 'home made' food. The added bonus is the gift area, nice to have a browse.

We took Mum for a birthday afternoon tea. The staff were so attentive and kind. Service fabulous. The food was freshly prepared and dealing with our preferences was no problem. The little gift shop was full of lovely vintage style goodies. Can not recommend highly enough. Looking forward to going back again.

Very enjoyable afternoon tea, good selection of drinks for tea and non tea drinkers. The variety of sandwiches and cakes was pleasing, although I'm not a fan of white bread and would of preferred something more tasty as the sandwich fillings were delicious.

Welcomed with a very warm and friendly smile, and shown to our table. They were very patient as one of our party is a gentleman who is a very slow walker. The service was very exceptional and the food was very well presented and very fresh....... overall a very enjoyable visit...... well done to all the staff

Visited today for brunch after seeing the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor. We were warmly welcomed and picked a table. I had the triple cheese and bacon toastie and my partner had the meaty cooked breakfast. Both were beautifully presented and very delicious. The coffee was very good. The staff were very friendly and engaged in conversation. I look forward to trying something different next time.

As by my self , I visited here for lunch this day . As usual I was Not Disappointed by my choice of food . Their home made ( by one of the owners ) Shepherds Pie is , I am tempted to say outstanding . The Minced Lamb therein was cooked just right , with a small amount of diced vegetables and gravy . The Mashed Potatoes on the top were soft and buttery . It comes with ( proper ) green cabbage and carrots , but I declined the Carrots . Plus a jug of thickish tasty gravy , that complimented the whole dish ! Although very busy this lunchtime , I did not have to wait too long for the freshly cooked to order food . Both the proprietors are friendly and make you feel welcome in their establishment . Well Recommended !!

Hi, my family and I visited Nando's Bishops Stortford on Friday 18th October at approximately 6.30pm. We are regular customers and have never been disappointed with the food until then. Upon clearing our plates, Isabelle asked us if everything was ok. I said that usually it is but I had found my chicken to be very dry. Isabelle said just, "Sorry", immediately turned to the next table and that was the end of our conversation. I wasn't looking for a discount on my bill but Isabelle's "customer service" left alot to be desired.

I’m sitting at the bar having a pint. I’ve also eaten here a few times and I think this place is brilliant. The staff a really friendly and the atmosphere is top notch.

Poor. Used to be a lovely Pub to have a Roast Dinner in, especially on the Sundays the Classic Cars turned up! Today's Roast Beef was frankly nothing of the sort, tough, stringy and tasteless - I suspect it wasn't the days Roast at all, but some pre-packaged 'Roast Beef' slices. Apart from that, it's a nice, friendly, local Pub.
