The Courtyard Tearooms - Oswestry in Shropshire

Very tasty! Will be back again. Lovely

Turned up late one afternoon just after closing, staff apologised for being closed but if we would like to take a seat they would be happy to serve us, we had a delicious fruit scone complete with butter, jam & clotted cream & a huge mug of hot chocolate. Delightful decor, excellent service & staff, we will definitely be returning & would recommend trying it

Very friendly staff reasonably priced and excellent food , dog friendly was a welcome experience

Beautifully decorated little gem! Friendly, helpful, welcoming staff. Really delicious food! Very food allergy/intolerance aware.

Visiting Oswestry for the 1st time. Went here for lunch. Food was lovely, hot and fresh. Really friendly staff who enjoyed a good chinwag.

Excellent food and service. Cosy and friendly.

Lovely to see that the change in ownership has had no impact on the gorgeousness of this place. Da Iawn TJ! A real favourite of mine because it is always excellent!

Cosy cafe - delicious Welsh rarebit and Glamorgan sausage.

No photos from me , but the tearoom does provide very good quality food. Well worth visiting.

good value for money great location staff lovely

Lovely little cafe, pleasant staff , beautiful food & priced just right . Second time have been there & will be going again . Mr.kev Harris .

Very pretty tea room. We had the rarebit and it was delicious! Would definitely recommend this place.

Excellent coffee. Served well in a happy atmosphere. The improved breakfast menu seems very good value.

Lovely little cafe, dog friendly, great service, delicious food, will definitely return ☺️

A lovely quiet corner with excellent fresh food flavours and great smoothies. What's not to like!

Lovely little spot for lunch, mushrooms on toast were lovely, could have done with a bit more seasoning for my personal taste, but we're still very enjoyable. Service was satisfactory, however it was getting busy so they did no check backs. Would return in future. Lovely interior design.

Very pretty, secluded little tearoom,

A little haven hidden away but once found never to be forgotten. Hope to visit again soon.

Still a Hidden Gem 💎,it is a big treat as always . Even better with spot of sunshine that we had today. The food is fantastic , the menu is guaranteed to please every member of your family. The service professional, beyond expectation

Lovely place for coffee and more. Even provided blankets for outside use on a chilly day which was a bonus.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Beautiful place full of interesting things. It's a must go place.

Lovely tea room, beautiful gluten free rarebit and a smashing cup of tea 🍵 😊

A very small, popular cafe in the middle of town, has nice cafe food, good tea,coffee and drinks.

What a beautiful cafe, full of atmosphere and interesting artefacts! Lovely to see Sandra whom I remember previously. The food and drinks were excellent. I loved the home made cauliflower and coconut soup with a cheese scone. Definitely a place to come back to. I've been to Oswestry several times over the years and never been to the courtyard before!

I love this little place lovely staff cute rooms and a lovely out side area Plus it's dog friendly And home made grub xxx

Rather cramped carnt he helped but food good.

Lovely cafe which is dog friendly. Great for vegans /vegetarian and gluten free

My dad and I love this cafe , we go most Tuesdays for light lunch and / or delicious cakes and coffee , he's 90 this year and feels very comfortable at courtyard cafe and staff are so lovely .

Really good, the tearoom is small but they have a few tables outside Booking is recommended but if you turn up they will let you use tables until they are needed for reservations The service is very good along with the food and value Recommended

We have been here quite a few times now and everytime has been great! The staff are very friendly and we love the relaxed atmosphere it offers. Definitely a go to place for a hot drink + food in Oswestry!

Fabulous food and great service

Delightful tearoom serving a full menu, as well as delicious cakes and treats. At first, I didn't think we would be able to go in, as the main body of the cafe is up some steps. I have an arthritic hip, so cannot climb any steps. There was,however,a smaller annexe to the tearoom, purchased not long ago, which has no steps. We had lovely sandwiches and toasties, served with interesting salad. The tea was served in elegant china wear. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely little tearooms. Very friendly staff. Freshly cooked food - I had a really filling ham and mushroom omelette, and my mum had beans on toast, which was equally filling and surprisingly well presented. Beautiful little hidden gem! And as strange as it may sound, check out the toilet door😂😂

I liked it here because the staff were welcoming and kind to my dog. The service was perfect

If you are visiting Oswestry (a lovely market town in Shropshire with a good selection of independent businesses) this is a must for refreshments! Visited here on Wednesday 1st November for reviving pot of tea and absolutely delicious (and gluten-free) homemade orange drizzle cake - great value too. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the venue was charming, colourful and cosy. Notably it also has an outdoor courtyard which looks a great place for warm and sunny days. All other customers clearly also enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service. A definite thumbs up and will visit again!

First visit yesterday and had coffee and a fat jack scone which were of the highest quality imaginable!!! Impressed with the warm friendly feeling of this tea room and the pleasant and attentive staff and the owner. Quaint and cosy, a must for visitors to this town. Will soon return for lunch there. Cant wait!!!! Bryan Jackson.

Good gluten free range, and knowledge about the cross contamination risks for a coeliac disease customer. Dog friendly, treats given! Some tables in the courtyard and some inside. Customer toilet. Good range of hot drinks

We loved this little cafe, had the hallumi wrap, and iced lemon tea that were both delicious. Very good service and dog friendly.

The Courtyard Tearooms is easily one of the quaintest and most homely places to grab a bite to eat, or drink, in Oswestry. We always leave well fed, watered and much happier for having visited! The team are some of the loveliest and friendliest and nothing is ever too much trouble, the atmosphere is lovely too - traditional vibes with a fresh twist. Would recommend to anyone!

Loved this popular and bustling tearoom with a lower and upper level and charming courtyard to sit outside, yet in a sheltered way. Very nicely presented, and we were also very happy with the selection and quality of food on offer, the teas (served in glass teapots) and prices. Has a family business vibe. It's sadly not that often you find a tearooms that ticks all those boxes, well done Team Courtyard!

A small town-centre cafe, quite busy for late morning Simple menu. We stopped for an early lunch:coffee, excellent(double espresso with a vanilla shot), a good selection of tea too. Simple service from a small kitchen, scrambled eggs on seeded-bread toast brought to table take-away quick! Staff were exceedingly effective, nothing was too much trouble. ...not the first time that we have visited and it will not be the last. Staircase entry, loo clean and fresh.

Very tasty food. Cakes are all freshly made and definitely the best in our town centre.

Go quite often and it doesn't disappoint. Lovely food and great coffee ☕️

What a disappointment after reading the positive reviews. We tried to get in a couple of months ago but it was busy and too cold to sit outside so left but tried again today for my birthday as the sun was initially shining so could sit outside. It was busy to begin with therefore we did not mind the wait but after half an hour with nobody acknowledging us we were beginning to wonder whether we should leave as indeed several tables had-we saw food going past us but not to the tables below us which was intriguing as we wondered where it was going to-the sign outside says table service but you obviously have to be in the know to get quicker service,when, eventually a lady came out for our order we had not even been given a menu albeit there is one near the entrance which we eventually saw,she was apologetic for the wait but even after order was taken we waited a further 15 mins for our coffees and then another 20 mins for our food by which time we had drunk our drinks-the food was ok and on leaving on investigation found that they were preparing for a function in 'The Lounge' which explained the food that was passing us-not a positive experience and one that will not be repeated.

Great, fresh food. Scones to die for.

Love love love going here! Lovely friendly staff, very popular place as always busy. Toasties are to die for and beautiful crockery! Even if this café was 10 times the size it would still be busy as it's so good but it would lose some of its charm ❤️

Warm friendly tea rooms with great home made cakes and food...and the best coffee ...can't wait to go back

Lovely hot coffee and always a different choice of a gluten free cake. Very friendly and cosy. Dogs welcome too.

Hidden gem. If you are in the area, you must try it. Lovely coffee, great selection on the menu, indoor and outdoor seating area. My favourite seating area inside is the naughty corner.

We went for a meeting with tea and a teacake

Friendly staff cozy atmosphere speedy service food good great value for money xx

Delightful first visit. Everything tastes delicious and a quirky menu. Best mince pie with brandy creme ever, gorgeous parsnip soup and a snazzy tipsy marzipan tea. Fab friendly relaxed service. Can't go wrong 😋

Had a fantastic first visit last week and we shall definitely be back now we've discovered you! Fantastic drinks and food menu, plenty of choice and the staff were tremendous - so lovely, friendly and welcoming! The tearoom is beautifully decorated too, very welcoming to all. I only managed to take pictures of the cakes we had for pudding as the food was too good to not tuck into straight away. Thank you!

This was our second time eating here; I am glad we found this place. It has a very welcoming atmosphere and it is clear they do not want you to rush your meal, the quiet music and dim lighting inside is good for those with sensory issues like my daughter who is autistic. It is also LGBTQ+ friendly. The menu is mostly vegetarian and also has vegan and meat options. There is a large selection of drinks and teas and there is always a tea of the week available. They also sell tea and the menu changes with the season. The food is all homemade, including the cakes and very large scones! The staff are also very friendly and helpful, and are happy to talk to you. We will definitely go again.

What a secluded gem! Award winning establishment with great service and home made, good quality food. Pleasant staff, quirky surroundings all at a reasonable price. Being prepared to wait at busy times should not be seen as a negative.

Cheese and tomato omelette delicious 😋

Fabulous and ambitious menu lots of vegetarian options,set apart with this sort of offering at very reasonable prices.Eat here and be impressed.

Such a cute little find hidden away. Good tasty food and really friendly staff

It's a really lovely place of coffee and cakes plus they have a hot food menu

Fabulous place! Going back for lunch today.

Incredible little cafe out of the way. Beautiful Surroundings, super friendly staff and most of all fantastic food. The quality was first class.

Great little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The Welsh rarebit is excellent! Dogs are welcome too 😊

Good fresh tasty food at good prices with friendly service.

Amazing place with excellent food at a wallet friendly price. The staff were fantastic and extremely polite. Also great that it is dog friendly. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Oswestry.

Wow what a super place. Quirky and different. Had the best coffee and scones I have had for a long time. All freshly made. Friendly service a lovely experience. Thank you.

Excellent little cafe, beautiful food, wide offer of drinks and very well priced. Lovely little find.

We went on a very hot day and sat outside in the courtyard, very refreshing. Lots of plants to decorate the courtyard and tables are nicely laid out. Very friendly service

What a find! Travelling with my friend and two little jacks from London and this was a rest break. The ladies there were super dogs got biscuits on arrival and I had the cheese mushroom omelette served with a lovely fresh salad. Best one I've had in a long time. Very reasonable too. The cakes looked nice too Beautiful wee spot. Will def add it to my list for next time.

Amazing food, lovely surroundings, fabulous staff!

Lovely food. Staff are lovely, friendly and very efficient.

Busy little cafe food very good off main road quiet with plenty of seating outside

Warm, prompt and friendly service, excellent levels of cleanliness and amazing simple food with all the favourites we all love. Had a very fluffy cheese and ham omelette with sides and my friend had a superb grilled halloumi wrap. Portions are perfect, not too little and not too much. The menu has plenty of choices for everyone's tastes. Coffee and tea was great as well. The courtyard is colourful filled with beautiful plants, deck tables and chairs and a warm and sunny atmosphere. Highly recommend. Pricing is also very affordable. Perfect place for breakfast, lunch or a date!

Wonderful afternoon tea! We had a small baby shower celebration for my sister in law and it was perfect. A really great selection of sandwiches, scones, brownies, lemon drizzle and mini bakewells. The presentation was beautiful, there was a really lovely atmosphere and a great price. We would definitely go again. Thanks to all x

Location 5/5. Neatly tucked away in the town and in a cute courtyard. Setting was perfect. Staff 5/5. The few ladies we interacted with were pleasant and attentive. Drinks 5/5. Standard selection with a few extras. One member of our party remarked the latte was the best he'd ever had. Food 3/5. It was fine. We all had different dishes. Maybe it's just me, but the Aldi salt grinder and small selection of cheap tortillas just made me feel a little cheated. The food wasn't expensive, maybe I'm setting unrealistic expectations, but the 'pizza toastie' I had was just a cheese and onion sandwich with some tomato sauce in it. The bread was top notch to be fair, but it just lacked the real oomph that the setting promised. I would have been happy to pay a tad more for a slightly upper-market dish. Desert 2/5. This could be unfair, but a coffee shop with only 2 cakes... Lemon drizzle and Jaffa... Not good enough. I don't want the moon here. No french pattiserie or anything, just a Victoria sponge or a brownie? Maybe another option or 2... Coffee and walnut perhaps. I wanted cake, was ready to each a big slice, and I was told of the options. I did not get cake. My friends/family were happy enough with it. Again, I'm probably being very harsh. And my group had mixed reviews with my wife even saying it was her favourite lunch of the holiday... But I gotst to calls it as I sees it. Would I go again if I'm in the area, maybe. Would I recommend you go out of your way to eat there. Not quite.

The best cappuccino we've ever had & we've had gallons! Strong enough & rich & creamy. Lovely setting to enjoy your drinks. £2.25 per good-sized cup was very reasonable. We will be back!

The best cream tea in Oswestry. Seriously good scones!

This is a lovely little place. Lots of atmosphere and super friendly staff. I recommend the scones. They are fantastic. The menu looks great and we will be back to try there other options.

Is now open again under new ownership

Lovely little courtyard away from the hustle and bustle of the main shopping area attentive staff, very tasty food and great value for money

Lovely little tea room tucked away in a corner. We had jacket potatoes and they were lovely. Coffee was good too :)

Yes it was fine. Sandra the top waitress is always at her best.

Food and service was excellent. Will definitely return.

Lovely fresh baked scones and great coffee. Love it!

This is a lovely place to eat, staff are so friendly, would definitely recommend.

Delicious food and great coffee. Very friendly to people and dogs. Highly recommend...

Excellent coffee and service in charming setting.

Lovely place wont go anywhere else the staff are great and very friendly and the coffee and food is outstanding highly recommended this place if u haven't tried it u need to especially if u like fresh handmade cakes mmmmm 😋

Just went for a light lunch, I had garlic mushrooms on sourdough toast and my wife a cheese omlett with a expresso and a pot of tea for one. Although they were fairly busy the drinks were on the table in a couple of minutes, and the food was only about five minutes later. Really well cooked and nicely presented, my wifes omlett was perfect just soft with the cheese starting to melt, and a bone china cup for her tea. The mushrooms on toast again just about perfect, garlic flavour but not knock your head off level, and the expresso properly hot that is really quite unusual most places you are lucky if it's Luke warm. Going back next time I am in Oswestry, I rather fancy the Welsh rarebit with roasted tomatoes. Or possibly a omlett.

Afternoon tea at The Courtyard Tea Rooms well recommended. Order in advance was easy. Wonderful welcome & service outstanding. Staff are the best. Roll on the next visit

Lovely staff and jackets :) will eat here again

Such a lovely, quaint little tea shop where everything is freshly made. We booked an afternoon tea here for an end of term treat. It was perfect, the cakes were luscious and the coffee truely is one of the best I have tried in town! And the service fantastic.

Can't speak highly enough of the courtyard tea rooms. Staff are truly delightful, kind and welcoming. They offer gluten free options and the food is always amazing. I can honestly say everything I've had has been delicious and keeps me coming back for more. Well worth more than one visit.

We called in for lunch it was a little gem of a place well worth a visit

We absolutely love this tearoom. Very dog friendly. Lovely food and drink. Great atmosphere. A favourite of ours. Can’t beat the courtyard rarebit and the fresh homemade scones.

Lovely cosy little tearoom , amazing homecooked cakes, the bakewells are the best!! Friendly owners , welcoming to dogs too :)

Best coffee in Oswestry and the homemade cakes are delicious 😋

Lovely hidden off the main street tea room, cosy space sat inside (we were there on a cold winter day). Very friendly staff, and was great for lunch food, hot drink and a slice of cake.

Lovely little place, friendly staff & nice food.

Lovely place to eat, the food is very tasty and the staff are very kind!

Nice service, good coffee and good prices
