The Garden Tea Room in East Riding of Yorkshire

Outdoor seating on a lovely patio, Lovely food especially the cakes. Friendly staff. Didn’t visit the model village this time .

we had yorkshire tea for two. blueberry cake and coffee walnut cake both vey nice. staff friendly and polite. very clean place. pretty surrounding see you again. thankyou all.

Enjoyed lunch whilst visiting the model village. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Reasonably priced.

We visited for lunch based on good reviews and weren't disappointed. Glorious day, we sat on the small patch of garden with bench seating as we had our dog with us. Although there was a large event happening on the beachfront right behind the cafe brining in a steady stream of customers the service was prompt and friendly. The cafe itself is tiny but a lovely covered patio area attached. We chose to sit in the garden area because of our dog and we're being very careful with social distancing. Short wait to be served but everyone very respectful of spacing. We had plougmans and a ham salad, both very fresh and tasty. Such a lovely day we then followed this up with a couple of homemade scones, lovely. A small suggestion would be to move the big bin to the car park rather than in the garden or screen off in some way. A couple of your beautiful flower planters would help make this area feel more in keeping with the rest of the cafe. Fantastic friendly staff, keep it up! 😀

After visiting the little village we treat ourselves to afternoon tea. Lovely fresh food sat in beautiful, pretty surroundings. Lovely staff too! We will be back, Thank you!

Stopped her to see the model village then thought we would treat ourselves to some tea and cake. The cake was delicious, tea nice and strong and the staff all seemed very friendly. Would come here again.

Just gorgeous! The little terrace is beautiful, surrounded by flowers, spotless and especially lovely in the sun. Such a peaceful atmosphere. The food was brilliant value and delicious and the staff were lovely! I asked for a bit of cucumber or pepper to go with my little girls lunch box and see pic for what we got! Seriously going above and beyond here!

Our first visit with all our family sitting outside in very pleasant surroundings. Found all the staff and the owner very pleasant. The main thing was the excellent food and having a cup and saucer to drink your tea out of! As we live locally we will be having many visits up here, highly recommend you try.

Pretty little cafe, part of the model village. There are a few seats inside and a few more outside. It is a pleasant place to sit and the food is nice and reasonable priced. Good home made cakes. My only criticism was that the cappuccino was a bit insipid and not frothy enough. It needed an extra double espresso, to give it that real coffee hit. Very friendly staff. Toilet facilities available and the model village is a must see.

Visited after a disappointing trip to the classic car show at sewerby. Great sandwiches and salads. Ordered a ploughman’s and wasn’t bistro standard but good on value. Would recommend

We were regulars later year when this was one of the best coffee stops in Bridlington but it has since changed hands. Called this morning and found the outside seating area dirty and in need of a good sweep. The coffee cups were stained and the bacon bap was very fatty. All in all disappointing.

Lovely tea rooms, only small maybe 5 tables inside and a courtyard with 9 tables outside, dog friendly which was lovely for us. Friendly staff, clean and tidy. Wonderful cakes tea and coffee. We bought a sausage for the dog and staff brought out water bowl. Nice to have a rest after walking the beach.

Dog-friendly, comfortable and affordable. Good coffee, food available. Easy to locate, near the big house. A good place to rest after visiting the zoo.

We were lucky enough to find this wonderful tearoom on the first day of their open season. It’s lovely and clean, the outdoor area is a little oasis, the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, and the bacon sandwiches were gorgeous. It’s really wonderful to find somewhere so lovely which is also dog friendly...our chocolate labs appreciated the complimentary dog treat. We will definitely be back when we’re next in the area. Thankyou

Went to the model village with about 15 others then called for a drink and snack. Even though there was a gang of us it was no problem for the friendly staff. Thanks for rounding off our visit well.

The staff are friendly and food fine but I'm afraid we will not be returning due to the number of dogs in a very small cafe.We were informed that it is a dog friendly cafe. I've never heard that one before. Very unhygienic and children were scared by having dogs under tables.

We visited the Model Village adjacent to the tea room and sat down in the garden area for drinks. Good selection of hot and cold drinks as well as cakes sandwiches snacks etc. We ordered at the counter and the drinks were delivered to the table. There is seating inside too.Lovely place for a break and reasonable prices.

We popped in the cafe after our visit to the Model Village, but you can visit the cafe anytime as it's outside the gates to the village. The staff are friendly and got our order ready quickly, and it tasted really good! There's a good range of food and drinks to choose from and it's homemade. Definately worth visiting!

We visited here on Wednesday for the first time - but it definitely won't be our last. We sat outside in the sunshine, enjoying the lovely views and the coffee and home-made cake for two. Lovely little place and it's dog-friendly. Very highly recommended.

Our first visit will not be our last :) . The coffee was just right and the cakes were delicious. We are looking forwards to our next visit.

Cream tea for two enjoyed in the sunshine, the cafe may be small in size but the cream tea certainly was not!!, choice of tea or coffee, cheese & ham sandwiches with some side salad, then two homemade scones,plenty of jam, butter and clotted cream( none of your cheaper whipped cream) , the scones where light and served slightly warm, either that or we hit lucky with a new batch, then two gigantic slices of cake,one lemon and one chocolate, both of which were light and fluffy.

Had a snack and drinks after visiting Model Village. Food and drinks delivered qiickly and were excellent, (and freshly made) The Tea Rooms outdoor patio area was dog friendly and all the dogs get a lot of fuss and attention from the staff. Not like some tea rooms or cafe's who make you feel unwelcome with pets.

Lovely things come in small packages. Set on the coast, with a car park and coastal walks. This small gem offers a wealth of delights. A very pleasant choice on the menu, all freshly prepared, well presented and very tasty. It is well worth, uncovering the gem of a place. Don’t miss out, is all I can say.

We visited on Sunday 22 October and what a lovely visit it was.

just brilliant food and drink served by pleasant staff 10/10 reasonably priced in pleasant surroundings

Superb value afternoon tea at just £7.95pp including plenty of ham&cheese; sandwiches, fresh scones with lashings of jam, butter and clotted cream and finally (if you can fit it in!) some delicious lemon drizzle and carrot cake. Not forgetting a very large pot of tea to last the three tiers of tasty treats. We sat in a lovely covered garden but there is an option to sit inside and soak up the friendly service. Delicious way to spend an afternoon, along with a visit to the model village next door!

lovely café with friendly staff .food is excellent and home made cakes . prices are very good.so would highly recommend .

what a lovely quaint tearoom,very small in area but there is an outside area also.We was made very welcome by friendly staff.They sell sandwiches,yummy cakes,scones,etc,they also do a reasonably priced afternoon tea for 2.Its clean inside and also in the toilet area despite it being outside.Inside the cafe they sell homemade chutney,piccalli,jams etc.There are several campsites local to this cafe and also a model village.The only down side for us personally was dogs are allowed,which is not pleasant whilst eating.

Next to the model village, but separate in its own right. V small and pretty tea room. Friendly helpful service. They do sandwiches, toast, jacket potatoes, panini, salads, lunch boxes and a wide selection of drinks and homemade cakes/scones. You can also buy homemade jams/marmalade jars. V nice cuppa.

Staff are very welcoming. Its a small place but good to relax and have a snack.Do the Model Village First.

Had a lovely hour sat in the outside area as we took our dog. Very peaceful with the sounds from the model village behind. Had earl grey tea and cake and the cake tasted homemade. Was lovely. Will go back again. Good parking and toilet facilities.

Ideally located by the model village as you will need a cuppa or two whilst seeing all to see at the attraction. Staff really polite and friendly. Some really good food Too!

Great find on our tour of the east coast. Friendly service, delicious food and nice civilised surrounding. It may be small but that does not detract from the overall experience. Enjoyed it so much went back twice more.

Called into Garden Tea Room after a long dry drive from home to the coast. The staff were very friendly and welcoming they had a fair range of specialist teas we opted for mint. Good quality tea piping hot and given option of drinking in or taking away.

Wow - enjoyed a really good cake and coffee. My third visit and every time has been excellent.

Really lovely interior decor. Smart and homely. Very pleasant young lady serving. Gorgeous, unusual outdoor area.

I called in here before visiting the model village with my grandchildren. It was a very pleasant experience and I don't know if we were just lucky but the other customers there that day were very welcoming and friendly, as were the staff.

Called here with son and dog for a cup of tea and snack after a long walk at Danes Dyke beach nearby. Small, quaint and friendly place that allows dogs to be seated in and outside. Drinks were freshly made and carrot cake tasted home made and delicious. Also on site there is a model village which looked interesting although we didn't visit there today with having the dog with us but looked good for youngsters.

Very friendly cafe. Excellent coffee, home baked scones and cakes. Sandwiches and toasties come with generous fillings and a side salad, cole slaw, and everything is very fresh and delicious. Tracy and Carly know everybody 's name and clearly love the dogs, who are given a treat and water. After a bracing walk along the Promenade with a dog, this cafe is a beacon of warmth and hospitality. Next door is the model village to explore, but the cafe stands on its own--delicious food and a level of comfort that makes your day, every time.

Visited here September 2016. Friendly staff..Excellent food. Value for money. Will be visiting again soon. 😊😊

I visited the garden Room last year in May with family and had a wonderful lunch. I visited again today for a second visit with friends and was not disappointed. Warm welcome and excellent service. Well done and thank you. See you again later in the year

My wife and I made our first visit to this Tea room on a day out to Sewerby and what a pleasent surprise it was. It is adjacent to the Model Village in Sewerby and we were kindly received by two very welcoming ladies. The facility is only small having only 5 tables but these are nicely decorated with bright lemon tablecloths.The Tea Room opens from 9.00 am to 4.30pm and does breakfast as well as afternoon teas. My wife and I ordered Tea for two with a round of ham sandwiches each. This was promptly served with a nice large teapot of hot Yorkshire Tea and an accompaning pot of hot water and two delicious rounds of ham sandwiches served with a nice salad and coleslaw . This came to £10.90 and was very good value for money.This was an excellent find and we will definitely be calling again

Called for coffee -dog friendly-great food -great service -easy parking-lovely sausage sandwich-will go back when next in the area

Had lunch here, sat in some late summer sun on their terrace. The service was warm and efficient. I had the lasagne with salad that went down very well, a generous portion and a good price. A wonderful find along the coast by Sewerby cliffs.

Had lunch here, chose Coronation chicken jacket potato. It came with lovely fresh salad, the coronation chicken was a generous amount of chunky tender pieces of chicken in a beautiful sauce, tangy but not too hot. Good coffee and the cost was very reasonable for the quality of the food. The cakes looked yummy. fService was quick and pleasant. The room was charming. There was an outside area, which seemed to be popular with dog owners. Plenty of parking, and the tea room is open through the winter, although the model village is closed.

We popped in after a visit to the Bondville Model Village and ordered Afternoon Tea. We were amazed at the quality and size of the beautifully presented tea. Sandwiches, scone with jam and clotted cream (in Yorkshire!) and a huge slice of cake.

We visited on the recommendation of our family. We ordered two paninis which came with a salad garnish & a pot of tea. The service was excellent & the staff very helpful & friendly. We will certainly visit again.

We were looking for a café near Bridlington open on a Sunday and came here based on the good reviews on Trip Advisor. Fantastic place! We were pleasantly surprised to see there was a good deal of choice on the menu and chose jacket potatoes which came with a salad, beans on toast and eggs on toast. Everyone in the family enjoyed their meal and we were really impressed with the homemade cakes (the chocolate and the carrot cake were very nice!) Very friendly staff and quick service. Will definitely come back.

Looking for a quick snack on a wet afternoon we came across this lovely tea room with delicious home made scones and generous pots of tea.

Stopped on a lovely pleasant summers day at this sweet tea room. Tea and home made chocolate cake hit the spot, big portions of tea and cake which is a nice change. Staff are very friendly and had time for pleasantries even though they were very busy. First time we've called in even though we've been to Bridlington loads of times, but won't be the last.

Friendly service, tasty home made cakes and all great value. Lovely place to stop for refreshments with a great view over the model village.

I was in the area on business and had missed lunch, so I fancied something substantial-ish mid-afternoon. I popped in here on a whim whilst driving past and what a find!

We stopped here for tea & cake as we had just visited the model village which is right next to the tearooms. There are seats inside and outside on a small patio. We were surprised at the choice of cakes, scones etc all looked lovely and the services was very good too. Great value and the parking is free for customers so even if you are not visiting the model village its worth stopping off on the way to Bridlington for a tea break and a snack.

Lovely tea and cakes at very reasonable prices. The model village is beautiful very well designed and laid out - well worth a visit.

The Garden Tea Room is in Bondville Model Village. You do not need to pay to get into the the Tea Room as it is separate to the actual model village. The tea rooms serve delicious home made cakes and scones and afternoon tea is very nice. They also serve a selection of freshly made sandwiches.

Great place for homemade cakes and fresh sandwiches. You can eat in or at tables outside on the sheltered patio.

Very, very friendly and welcoming. Good choice of drinks & food. Really good prices. Would defiantly visit again.

We had a great time when we visited the model village the kids really enjoyed it and the quiz sheet is a great idea all the staff were helpful and the tearoom was a great place to grab a drink and a lovely slice of cake we throughly enjoyed our visit

Visited after our walk around the model village.

We had been told how good the cream tea's were and we were not disappointed, lovely friendly staff and fresh homemade scones with homemade jam and cream, an absolute treat

We visited the tea room before we went around the model village. Coffee and cakes excellent, a good selection and fresh. Cakes were being made on site which ensured there freshness. We found the tea room a little difficult to fit the wheelchair in and out, and we were having to disturb other people at times. Staff are really friendly and helpful and ensured that we were able to get the wheelchair to a table.

Even if you don't visit the Bondville Model Village (and you should, it's great) you can still visit their lovely tea room. Jan, the owner, makes outstanding cakes - I tried the coconut cake and it was truly splendid - and tea is served the proper way, in china cups and saucers with a large pot of tea for two plus a slice of that fine cake for me a bargain at just over a fiver. On a nice day, take a seat on their terrace overlooking the model village and gardens - a pleasant spot. Everything is well presented and the warmth of the welcome is ...the icing on the cake! Recommended.

Such a wonderful place to be..food is tasty & well presented..homemade cakes to die for.. various plated meals and sandwiches are HUGE. Myself & family are frequent visitors and always enjoy the owners friendly manner and eagerness to please!

Visited this immaculately kept village this week, the flowers are blooming, the grass was cut, the model houses/boats and figurines (even decorated with tour de yorkshire minature bunting in some of the areas) all in excellent condition. The Yorkshire Rose Flag was flying, the sun was shining and the coffee and chocolate cake were divine. Staff in the small tea room (with outside seating area adorned with lovely hanging baskets) were jovial, extremely polite and very obliging. The menu for a small Tea Room is just perfect, there is an abundance of home baked cake goodies on sale ,along with the chance to purchase a real good value afternoon tea for two at reasonable prices. I only had the chocolate cake on this occassion as we were planning to dine out later that night. The entrance fee to this village is nominal, when you consider what most of the attractions charge. Its great value for money and a very pleasant experience. You must complete the quiz as it helps you to get full benefit of the village - having to look in great detail at all the exhibits ensures you dont miss anything out, but if you do just go back round again until you find them as there is no time limit on your visit.

We have visited here several times and it is in desperate need of refurbishment - along with the models outside. Was once a little treasure of a place to visit with the grandchildren, not worth the money now. Cafe range very limited.

Great couple of hours spent in the model village and having tea, very nice home-made cakes and sandwiches

This lovely place encompasses everything I love about my country- it's quaint, charming and friendly. The hard-working generous owners allowed me and my family of 6 free entry as I successfully named a shop in the village. We would have been more than happy to pay the entrance fee to this fab little corner of Bridlington! We particularly enjoyed the planting surrounding the model village and of course the village itself. The quiz adds an extra dimension to the visit. The cafe was a real delight, sat enjoying tea and cake next to the village, what a treat! And don't forget you can use the cafe WITHOUT VISITING the village! A Bridlington must do.

The staff (owners of the model village) are very approachable and friendly. We didn't have anything to eat but the tea was very refreshing on a chilly day

After touring the village, question sheet in hand, what better way to finish than with afternoon tea. Two of us shared one tea just paying for an extra coffee. There was ample food, door stop sandwich with plenty of filling, salad/coleslaw garnish, cake and cream scone, highly recommended. All in all a fab little tearoom and you don't have to go round the model village to drop in for refreshments. Recommended.

A great place to visit for adults and children. We throughly enjoyed our time here with our 12 year old daughter. We had a challenge sheet which we all enjoyed doing. Found something new every time we looked around (which was 4 times). It was £10 for 2 adults and 1 child so very good value for money. We also had sandwiches, scones and hot drinks which were delicious and reasonably priced. All the staff where friendly. A most if you are in the area.

Lovely morning out spent at the miniature village! Good value, with a quiz to make you look even more closely at it! My partner was sceptical but thoroughly enjoyed it and our 4 year old loved being a giant! The cafe is perfect for a little stop in between trips round with lovely ice cream, amazing home made cakes and a welcoming service!

After a lovely visit to the model village we were made so welcome by the lady and gent in here who served us an array of hot and cold drinks. My Aunt was thrilled with her Earl Grey served in proper China. We also sampled the lovely orange flavoured buns that the lady had made and they were lovely. I nearly had 2!

Friendly staff and wonderful home baking in a gorgeous setting at the Model Village. We will certainly visit again when in the area.

This was the most reasonably priced food I have ever bought at a tourist attraction and it was good quality too. The model village itself had improved immensely since the current owners took it over with such attention to detail on all the models.

Called in here for a bite to eat before visiting the model village (see separate review) and really enjoyed it. The owner was very adaptable to changes we wanted to make to the items we ordered (fussy teenager) and was very friendly. Enjoyed our meal and drink (my daughter had strawberry milkshake and they made too much so she got a free top up which was nice). You can call in to the tearoom even if you don't do the village (although it would be a shame not to). Well worth visiting.

Wonderful little village and the quiz/hunt on the way round was fun and seemed to be enjoyed by all the children visiting including our 10 year old. we had to go round 5 times and we still didn't see everything!

What I loved about this extraordinary attraction and cafe was the owner and her vision in turning this dated relic into a brilliant 'thing to do'

Great day out for family and kids. Enjoyed the quiz and games when exploring the model village! Lovely staff and service in cafe! Loved the cream scones too! Grounds well looked after which adds to the overall experience and atmosphere.

First time visiting last week, wonderful place had grandchildren with us had quiz sheet to do the village is first class, we met the lady who owned it years ago, she was doing some gardening. Lovely few hours spent their and the grand children loved it . Thank you we will return .

After visiting this on numerous occasions as a child I brought my own 3 children here today just as I remembered it lovely staff and a lovely little quiz on the way around think you x

We visited Bondville Model Village Tea Shop for a light Lunch, There was good selection on offer, My friend chose Scrambled Egg which she said was lovely and light with just the right amount of accompanyine bread. I asked for a Ham Sandwich on Brown which came accompanied by salad, coleslaw and taco chips!! A meal in itself. We ate outside overlooking the Model Village and service was quick and attentive. My friend was very impressed and said she would call again! Well done for serving a very enjoyable Lunch. I was treated to my Lunch so cannot comment on the price b ut I am sure that it was good value for money!

Good place for the kids, and to have a bit of lunch. You can go round and do a quize too. There are places to sit while you go round just take it easy.

Although I have visited Bridlington many many times in my lifetime, this was the first time I've ever called in here at Sewerby. What a wonderful attraction, and it's easy to get to even without transport -just use the land train. The owners must have spent hours and hours keeping the model village in tiptop condition -and their tea shop is superb. We enjoyed a great lunch and nothing was too much trouble. It's an absolute gem, and I so hope that Bridlington is proud of their very own model village. Well done to the owners - and I hope you have a really successful Summer - you deserve it.

We had been out for the morning in Bridlington were looking on Trip Advisor for somewhere to round out our day when we found this little gem. 10 minutes drive from the seafront, we weren't sure what we would find at Bondville, as we have visited model villages before and been in and out in less time than it took to find a parking space...what a surprise!

The new owners are extremely welcoming. Afternoon tea - great, recommend the fat-free fruit cake. The model village is a brilliant example - quirky, massive attention to detail, certainly the best we have seen. Great for children, adults or retired people like us. Lots of inspiration to build our second garden railway.

we had a coffee while havin our answers checked on the quiz,coffee lovely and so friendly staff.have to say you can take your dogs into the model village however one owner had let their dog foul on the path,the staff washed and scrubbed clean,all can say is dirty dog owner

Visited for lunch - was hoping for a cream tea with scones, but they had run out. Had an excellent breakfast though, good value for money and local produce where possible. Orange cake is excellent. Worth a visit. Will visit again and hopefully try a scone.

On arriving we were charged O.A.P prices was shocked really as we aren't pensioners yet for a few more years ... the village was in need of a lick of paint and a big tidy up ,disappointed yes greatly then we thought we would have a drink in the café nice café quaint but just nice ordered a coffee and tea and a scone and cream and jam the drinks were ok and had finished them and still no scone but we mentioned this on trying to pay but the lady insisted on it being free and gave me a scone to try at home , it was nice but would be nicer made a little bit sweeter and with butter instead of marg but spose I cant complain to much as we didn't pay as she insisted then we left sorry to say we wont be back in a hurry

My wife and I had a lovely afternoon tea, with lovely Orange sponge cake, and my wife had chocolate, walnut and coffee cake, with a lovely chai tea, good selection of drinks, lots of homemade cakes and scones, lovely service, worth a visit.

I wanted to show my friends the miniture village and lovely tea shop,l told them all about it last year.I couldnt wait to go again this year.

Whilst staying in Bridlington, my husband and I went to the Bondville Model Village which was very good and after going round the village we had a drink and a teacake at the tea shop. The outside seating area has a touch of Spain about it with the whitewashed walls and trellises covered in beautiful flowers and is a real sun trap. I would recommend a trip here if you happen to be in the area.

Found the teashop at Bondville Model Village in May this year. Have been many times since then. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you, the cakes etc are all home made and the drinks are first class. The tearoom is painted white outside and there is an abundance of flowers and plants giving the whole outside area a Mediterranean feel. The prices are very reasonable and the crockery is attractively vintage giving the tables a unique, quirky feel. Very well-behaved dog friendly too. In our opinion this is a lovely place to stop and relax. The lady who runs the Model Village and Teashop hasn't been there very long and is turning the business round very nicely. Please visit if you're in the area, it's very much worth a look.

I have visited bondville on many occasion & i always find the staff very

Jan and Tim Bought the Bondville model village last autumn, after putting together a 3 year plan they have spent lots on the 1st phase revamping and renovating.They are a very nice couple and there is always a warm welcome for all. The tea rooms have been upgrading to include refreshment for all patrons alike and the food is cooked fresh daily with home made cakes. The young man you speak of behind the counter has "asperger's syndrome" and copes very well with his disabilities it is refreshing to see him helping out! around the place. Keep up the good work guys Sowerby's Hidden Gem...

we visited the model village after a 10year gap, the village itself from a distance looks nice, but as you get up to it, it is very well weathered with a lot of flakey paint, in need of restoration, shame you cant get closer to some of the models,

This little teashop that's attached to the model village is well worth a visit in itself. The standard of the food is superb and is home cooked on site. The quality of the cakes are to die for - definitely the best in Bridlington and Yorkshire. Also, this whole venture is done out of love more than profit so you won't find any better prices anywhere.

This is a fun place to go and spend an afternoon. The quiz is fun and addictive because of the challenges it sets. It needs a couple (or more!!) trips around to get all the answers. We also enjoyed homemade scones with jam and cream which were delicious and watched many families going round and until they got all the answers. The owner and the staff were both very friendly and light hearted, just right for the attraction.

We visited the model village last week and we both had a great time doing the little quiz that you get on arrival.The staff are friendly and helpful.we spent over three hours walking around because everytime we went round again we saw something different every time.The tea shop was very clean and has a good selection of food on offer and at reasonable prices too.if you are in any doubt about going,just give it a try and you will be surprised.overall a good afternoon spent and my dog loved it too.

We visited October 2012 and the owners told us they had recently taken it over. They were busy working on repairing some of the village. Yes, some buildings were in need of some TLC but even so we really enjoyed the walk around the village. Nice little tearoom and friendly owners - will definitely visit again

Did not go in the tea shop as short on time, but very tempted by the scones, all home made and looking very fresh. Will call again. The new owners are working very hard to revamp the adjoining model village and it is looking really good. The fresh paintwork, new models and revamped mini shops with squeaky clean windows were a delight for our children. We were warmly welcomed and are looking forward to another visit. Visiting the model village, sharing a cafetiere of coffee, home made scones and a run along the cliff top to make the most of your 2 hours free parking would make a lovely afternoon out.
