The Garden Tea Rooms in North Kesteven - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The first time I came here I was impressed … and the second time. Yesterday I arranged to meet two sets of friends and two different times. This was to see if there might be an improvement on my last experience of dry and unrecognisable as cake, lemon cake. Sadly this will have been my last visit. I had some of the worst food I have been served in a very long time. Dry pancakes which tasted so badly of baking powder, and which had barely a dribble of honey on them. All I can say is the fruit was edible. Then later a lunch of chicken and halloumi wraps which may as well have been wrapped in cardboard. The fact that food was not eaten on both occasions didn’t prompt a question if all was ok, I was then asked if I wanted a loyalty card which I took for the irony, and as my lunch companion said, there wasn’t even any eye contact. My last visit as I have no idea what had happened to this place over the past few months!

Staff were lovely I must say that and lattes were very nice. My husband enjoyed his breakfast but mine was distinctly average and needed improvement. Toast was anaemic, it was impossible to tell it had even been toasted. Bacon was rock hard in places like it had been cooked ages ago and warmed up. Just personal choice but I also didn’t really enjoy eating my breakfast in what was essentially a garden shed. I also thought the place needed a good clean, being a shed everything felt like it was covered in a layer of dust. It was a shame as the menu was nice with lots of varied breakfast options but I wouldn’t go again.

Very enjoyable, quick service even though it was busy. Food came with a smile and was really fresh. Cakes were so fresh and sponge was so soft, cheesecake was a winner the selection was huge !!

Just been for a birthday lunch with family - messaged them yesterday to order a certain sandwich for my Dad - no response, even tried calling them this morning to no answer. Got there and was unable to do the sandwich so had to have something else - no apology for not responding to message. Had sandwiches and hot drink and took cakes home to eat as my Dad was not feeling well (nothing to do with food etc.). Got home and all 3 cakes were stale. We will not be returning!

My mother, in her late eighties visits the tearooms with her her group of friends and swear blind that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Lovely cakes, wonder pots of tea, nice atmosphere, etc. Thought we'd try it out to see what all the fuss was about. And honestly? It was rather nice. And you certainly don't have to be almost a century old to enjoy it either. Had a very enjoyable half hour in there, lovely cup of coffee and a nice bit of sticky cake. Delicious.

We came here having been given a voucher for afternoon tea by friends. Wow it didn't disappoint it was lovely Husband had a pot of tea and i had a pot of coffee. there were for different sandwiches on offer ( you didn't have a choice) we had cheese and pickle, egg and cress, tuna and mayo, and ham salad and mustard. the bread was really fresh although i don't like mustard hubby doesn't like pickle we just swapped these. A small very nice sausage roll. There were two fruit scones ( again a choice of fruit or plane would be nice as hubby only eats plain scones) freshly baked with jam and clotted cream again these were very nice. Then the cakes :- there was millionaires short bread, carrot cake a delicious cup cake there was also strawberries and blue berries to nibble on. Oh i forgot there brought a small bowl of crisps whilst we waited for the tea to come. All in all a really good value for money afternoon tea and i would happly reccomend this place to anyone.

Once again The Garden Tea Rooms knocks it out of the park! I honestly don’t think a tea room gets much better than this. Went for the chilli and cheese hot dog and cheesy nachos with salad and salsa/guacamole/sour cream. Wonderfully sized portion with 2 plump Lincolnshire sausages, was absolutely delicious and so well priced. Whilst my partner had a mammoth pork and apple stuffing brioche with cheesy potatoes and pigs in blankets. This hidden gem of a place deserves all the recognition it gets, with stiff competition these days with the sheer number of tea rooms, this place always comes out on top in our books!

Very disappointing in the quality of the sandwiches, bread too thick,fillings were dismal,what happened to coronation chicken,prawn mayo, all the classic fillings, our fillings were a dry grated cheese with salami!!?? never had that as a filling before, a tasteless cheese spread,a wet slice of ham & bland egg mayo in a thick wrap,it was more of a builder's lunch ,not what xn afternoon tea should be..light & delicate. The plain scones were dry & tasteless,the cupcakes were tasteless with a sugar overload... gor £15.00 a head, you are ripping us off!!... definitely do not recommend.

I have been to the tea room for lunch, or cake and coffee but never for breakfast. Wow..... What can I say.... What an amazing breakfast! Such generous portions and really tasty. Being vegetarian and gluten free too it is always difficult to find somewhere that offers a decent breakfast. Thank you Garden Tea Room, best breakfast I've ever had when eating out. Great service, always very friendly.

Beautiful afternoon tea. Sandwiches and cakes were delicious and plentiful. Coffee was really nice and plentiful. Service was prompt and friendly. Very good value for money.

I wanted to order an afternoon tea for a friend It was just before Christmas and I telephoned only to be told that this was their last day of opening before Christmas. No problem they said. We can do it today. This was delivered within a couple of hours My friend was really surprised and very happy with the food. It was well presented and delicious

We ordered a takeaway (cakeaway) yesterday. It was delivered to us locally within 40 - 50 mins of the order being made! We ordered panini and cheesecake. The tuna melt panini was delicious, it was also a great portion for the price and so filling. Delivered warm and delicious!! With a side salad and some crisps in the box too. We also had salted caramel cheesecake. I have a major sweet tooth and was not disappointed!! The slice was a slab! Which was fabulous.. again great for the price! The cheesecake was delicious Thank you very much, we will be ordering again. Very satisfied

I was fortunate to attend a belated mother's day afternoon tea treat last Saturday. From being greeted on arrival to leaving the pretty garden, everything was perfect in every way: lots of delicious sandwiches., crisps, scones, cakes, and of course tea, all presented in beautiful fine china. Jack the waiter really looked after us and checked in regularly to replenish tea and water supplies, even making sure that our parasol was protecting us from the lovely sunshine. Thank you Jade and your amazing team!

My husband and I collected cheesecake to go last week as a nice Friday treat. The owner always post stuff yummy looking cakes on Facebook and we just had to go and get some! Even though we didn’t sit in on this occasion the transaction was friendly as always, safe during the current climate and the cheesecakes were absolutely delicious.

Lovely food and service great set up shout out to jack the waiter lovely boy and very polite 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thank you Jade for a fabulous afternoon tea for the 7 of us on Friday. It was our anniversary, mum's birthday and my brother and sister in laws anniversary(my nieces couldn't be left out). Although we were apart due to lockdown, we could all be together with your food. It was delivered free with a smile. There were 4 or 5 different sandwiches, a cup cake, 4 small cakes and a scone with cream and jam each!! My sister in law was also looked after with a vegetarian selection. Can't wait for the next big celebration or maybe just to celebrate a Saturday or a Thursday

Absolutely fabulous afternoon tea from this little treasure, tasty filled sandwiches, great selection of cakes, and the homemade scones are utterly delicious, excellent value for money, could not recommend enough...Well done to Jade and all the team xxx

Just passing and nipped in for a coffee be rude not to try the cake 😉.....Amazing 👌 2ill go back as the afternoon tea and panini looked so yummy

I had previously enjoyed afternoon tea, sometimes pop in for takeaway cake and have gifted vouchers to people. Recently I had a very disappointing visit when I had cause to quietly complain. I feel that this was completely mishandled in a very rude manner and left me embarrassed and not wishing to visit again. This is a shame as I was looking to book my sister’s 60th afternoon tea party but will no longer be doing this. Manners cost nothing.

Me and my mum came for lunch as recommended by a friend. We both had Jacket potatoes and then shared a piece of cake.. the food was presented lovely, and tasted great. The piece of cake was amazing.. will 100% return

Lovely as always We came for lunch as a group of friends, sandwiches, panini, jacket potatoes all yummy and delicious warm scones with jam and cream, cheesecake yummy too. A really great place to lunch with friends

We called and booked afternoon tea. The lady said she had to make sure there was enough cakes. That done we arrived but couldn't find it at first.We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive, this was because we booked and it was prepared. There was a lot of sandwiches but they all tasted lovely. We also got a bowl of crisps. The cakes although they looked nice with unusual toppings they all tasted the same. Plain sponge with butter icing. I took a few cakes home including my Scone. I was a bit disappointed with the scone. It had 1 current in. Even with the jam and cream it was still dry. That been said I did give them 4 stars because the staff were very good and attentive. If they mix the cake flavors a bit more I would go back. Would I recommend them to friends yes I would.

A lovely tearoom. As everything is pretty much made to order, you can make the sandwiches/panini etc to your dietary requirements. Lovely, amazing cakes and great service. 100% recommend.

We came on Saturday for afternoon tea. I booked before we came as it's only small and gets busy. We had a delicious plate of sandwiches, a bowl of crisps, a selection of cake bites, a cupcake and a fruit scone with jam and cream. Your choice of tea or coffee is refilled as you finish.We sat in the potting shed which had 4 small tables and was cosy, it did get quite loud when it was full.There is a beautiful garden and I will definitely go back in the summer and sit outside as the afternoon tea was so delicious.Afternoon tea was £14 each which I thought was good value.

We could only make it for breakfast which was awesome, we was in the potting shed very quaint and cozy, loved it. Will definitely come back for the afternoon tea when next in Lincoln, was a bucket list stop😋😋😋

Lovely little tea room, food excellent and loads of it. Staff very friendly, need to book though because there's not many tables. Little gem will be going back.

Took my wife her on Saturday for afternoon tea. She has an eating problem, which means she cannot have sugars.

When there for my bithday afternoon tea pit was very yummy the staff were very friendly and I would recommend it highly

Had a lovely afternoon tea here. Lots of choice and plenty of coffee. Had lunch in the potting shed. Staff were friendly.

Always busy in here but a nice friendly tea shop, attended a pyscic evening a few days ago.....a complete waste of £20.

Can not recommend this place highly enough. Excellent atmosphere, setting, service and of course tea! The food was incredible, will definitely be back! Also look forward to visiting the new place!

I called ahead as I heard this little place gets busy. Booked a table for four, was greeted and give the choice of sitting in conservatory or potting shed, we choose the shed as cooler. Food and drink choices were amazing, service perfect, food came in a timely manner. Delicious . No complaints from any of us. We will definitely visit this little gem of a tea shop again.

Lovely place with homemade fresh cakes and desserts that are to die for. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Would highly recommend

This tea room really is a hidden gem. Seating is limited during the winter months, and booking is essential for the afternoon tea. They have an amazing selection of vegan, gluten free and dairy free cakes. During Easter they have amazing Easter egg cheesecakes. Suitable for families. Lovely staff and a lovely tea room in a quaint setting.

I've visited here quite a few times now and finally got round to trying the afternoon tea which did not disappoint! There were ample sandwiches, a varied selection of cakes, crisps and even fresh fruit which you don't get with afternoon tea. The staff were very attentive, would highly recommend!

The tea room is situated in a large conservatory at the rear of the florist shop. A lovely quaint setting, with an outside garden area (when the weather is nice). We loved the old china crockery and teapots, which gives a very cottage atmosphere.

Visited here in the past quite a few times,however the last couple of times have been a disappointment,it has gone from a lovely quaint place into a crammed rowdy place that just feels uncomfortable,the staff changes have gone from a nice girl who served us to rowdy loud staff,food however is always nice but sadly its not for us anymore which is a shame..we enjoyed the hidden gem it was now its just a crammed cafe

We enjoyed our first visit to this lovely tea room. It was a nice surprise to have the choice of a triple layer chocolate cake and scones, both suitable for people following a vegan way of life. We sat outside in the bright sunshine surrounded by trimmed box hedging, lavenders, potted tete-a-tete and many other shrubs and trees, listening to the birdsong and soaking up the rays. The fruit scones were delicious with just the right texture, gently warmed and served with dairy free spread and strawberry jam. Our generously sized Americanos were full flavoured and served in lovely purple patterned cups and plain saucers. The staff were friendly, service was good and afterwards we complimented the owner on her homemade vegan scones. This is a tea room we will return to as it is so attractive and vegan friendly.

I went here for afternoon tea with my partner and it was an absolute delight. From the moment of booking the staff were great, I am a coeliac so require a gluten free diet and have but allergy. They made a completely separate afternoon tea but it was not too different and definitely did not lack in flavour. There was so much! They let us take it home. My boyfriend does not drink hot drinks so ordered juice and much to our surprise they did not charge us for it.

Nipped in for lunch before work. Lovely friendly staff. Real cosy feel. Had a lovely chicken mayo sandwich with salad and crisps. Lovely loose leaf pot of tea. Couldn’t fault the food or the service. Took a piece of amazing Malteser cake to eat at work. Will be booking in again soon

Visited with a friend and had a lovely afternoon tea. The venue is small and rather hot as a conservatory. The sandwiches were nice and cakes ok. It would have been nice to have a choice of the larger slice of cake as neither of us would have chose that one.

Myself and my friends meet here weekly for coffee, cake and a chat before baby group. It’s a small place, but they always find room for us and our babies (who are usually in their car seats).

Fabulous spread, polite friendly staff and service. This is my second visit here and certainly will visit again.

I brought my friend and her daughter for afternoon tea as a birthday treat. The venue was lovely, the staff were wonderful and the food was excuisite.

This little gem is a must for anyone who fancies a cuppa and cake. The fridge is laden with freshly home made Cakes, cheesecakes , scones, sausage rolls, brownies..... I could go on. I visit every week and highly recommend their club sandwiches. I have a different cake every week and have never had a piece I didn't enjoy. I even take cake home with me. Quality and customerservice is 2nd to none. Friendly, clean, fresh and ridiculously well priced. I dare anyone not to enjoy going. Gluten and dairy free options always available.

We popped in for lunch but ordered the afternoon tea. We were politely asked if we had pre-booked (which we hadn't) and told they could do it but would need to substitute the cup cakes, this wasn't a problem for us.

Never having been here before, despite it being on my doorstep, I decided to book my Mum and I in for an afternoon tea for a treat for a special birthday. From the moment of booking via Facebook messenger through to the day itself the service was brilliant.

What a find! Looking for tasty cakes? Then look no further. I cannot praise this place enough. Have a look on Facebook to see just some of the scrummy treats the owner makes. Staff are so friendly as is the atmosphere there. Simple, healthy eating menu with no chips in sight. Good size portions at a reasonable price. Try the afternoon tea loads of food! Tablecloths and lots of old type wooden chairs help to make this place a comfortable place to be, with outside seating for summer days.

Just been for a festive afternoon tea. The food was delicious and plenty to go round and the atmosphere was really lovely. Will be definitely going back. The staff were friendly, helpful, polite.

Booked for four people for Saturday lunch, lovely warm conservatory with fantastic looking cake all beautifully displayed on stands. We all opted for paninis with salad and hot drinks all of which was served swiftly by friendly staff. The place was very busy which is always a good sign and we could certainly see why, lovely food at a sensible price.

Visited here to celebrate my grandmothers birthday and was not disappointed! There was a vast amount of choices to choose from! The cakes in particular took our fancy and was hard to pick just one each. All the staff were welcoming and ensured we got everything we needed. Loved the vintage teacups! Will soon be back again.

A couple of weeks ago my family surprised me with a birthday treat of afternoon tea here at The Garden Tea Rooms. There was six of us in total and three cake stands filled with sandwiches, cakes and scones with as much tea and coffee as you’d like was more than enough! The sandwiches were soft and fresh and a wide variety of fillings. The cakes were delicious, especially the fruity cupcakes (of which I had more than my fair share)! And the fruit scones were yummy! The staff were very attentive and warm. They had knowledge of our booking and had put us in a gorgeous garden hut (?) that was beautifully decorated and the table was set with cute vintage teacups and plates! Over all highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely birthday lunch!

Had a lovely little lunch set up with delicate tea cups, quaint cake stands filled with delicious filled sandwiches and tasty treats! AND jam/clotted cream scones. Lovely garden setting for a warm day or a cosy conservatory or potting shed for chillier days.

Booked a table for 5 people to visit on Sunday afternoon. Upon arrival was told booking had been made for afternoon tea for us all which was not what l had booked. Felt quite guilty at this as was told they had made the food for us all. We did order off the menu as we didn’t want afternoon tea, food was ok but nothing special so probably wouldn’t visit again. Just to warn people as well this place only takes cash and has no card facilities

Well me and my mum wanted a spot of dinner and wasn't disappointed. We had panini's which came with crisps and fresh salad. With a big pot of tea for 2 . Which was all made fresh, Then i had the homemade salted caramel square and my mum had clotted cream scone . Both were just yummy. As a whole would recommend the little gem can't wait to go again and try some other homemade delights.

My 2 sisters and I visited this little gem of a tea room for afternoon tea. Lovely environment to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful garden. The afternoon tea was just delicious with a variety of sandwiches and cakes, all home made but the lovely young lady owner of this fabulous tea room. We were served by a really nice guy, who was cheerful and smiley all the time, nothing was too much trouble. We were not rushed, in fact she stayed open 45 minutes longer than usual just so we could sit, enjoy a cup of tea and natter. It was a wonderful experience, she was a amazing host, the whole afternoon was just delightful. We are all looking forward to going again and we promise to go home on time. Thank you so much.

My wife and I love this tea room for its fab club sandwiches and cakes. However we arrived today and went to the till to plane an order and were asked to take a seat and our order woukd be taken. We sat outside and despite several staff walking past us, we left after 15 minutes of waiting.

We kept on seeing all the yummy looking cakes on their Facebook page. Me and my friend went for afternoon tea and it was £14 per person and it was blooming worth it, lots of sandwiches and cakes and a beautiful soft scone. Service and the staff were brilliant. Highly recommend

Lovely cafe in a beautiful garden setting. Plenty of outdoor seating, perfect for having tea and cake in the sunshine. Staff are always lovely and accommodating. Great selection of sandwiches, panninis and cake! Lots of cake!

Three businesses together, bridalwear, florist and tea garden. A surprising venue, accessed from car park at the Co-op. Super garden, well kept with tables dotted around. Potting shed, nicely decorated, and a comfortable conservatory. Warm friendly welcome and an interesting selection of sandwiches, wraps, panini etc. We enjoyed a morning visit for coffee with a toasted teacake and feasted just our eyes on the selection of cakes.

The most beautiful little tea room, so Victoria style with the mismatched crockery and food served on a huge three tier cake stand. Can't recommend this highly enough. Make sure to book first though

Wow, what a lovely little place. Afternoon tea was amazing, there was so much, the lovely ladies even gave us boxes to take home what we couldn't manage to eat in the restaurant. The staff are so friendly i think that it was very good value for money and I would definitely return here

Tucked away behind a flower shop in North Hykeham is a small, but perfectly formed, tea room in a conservatory and a 'garden shed'. We had afternoon tea which was delicious. Service attentive and very friendly. Worth a visit.

Well this tearoom has fab reviews but what a let down. We were squashed on a table big enough for 2 and there were 4 of us. We had no choice of bread or sandwich filling and no choice of cake. What made it worse was that some of the bread was dry and some cake was dry or bland and also very sweet. Too many people squashed in a small space. Needs work but on the plus side the staff were fab.

We booked out the conservatory for a friends baby shower, 17 of us had an afternoon tea there was loads of food and tea and coffee on tap. The food was lovely and we had plenty, they gave us boxes to take the left overs away with us.

Sorry but I just don’t get it, I don’t want to sit crammed into a shed, and the scone was tasteless with no sweetness and the jam just red jelly with no fruit, again tastelesss. Tea was ok but then cant really go wrong with that. People friendly enough but not somewhere I could recommend.

My dad & I visited today. Feeling under the weather I wasn’t sure. However, Dad enjoyed his panini with crisps & salad. I tried a BLT but on a wrap for a change. As someone who suffers after eating bread this was just so delicious & just enough! Tried my best with some cheesecake but it beat me. Next time though...

This is a lovely little tea room, so quaint and somewhere I have always enjoyed visiting, but on my last two visits, I ordered a sandwich on white bread, and BOTH times the bread has been so dry, it was not enjoyable at all. You would think being a tea room, the bread would be fresh and bought in daily. The first time I put it down to bad luck but the second time, the bread was just as dry as before! To me this should have been noticed when it was being buttered as you know when bread is fresh or dry and this definitely was not fresh. My mind is now undecided about whether or not I would go back. If I do, I don't think I will be having a sandwich!

Booked afternoon tea for my daughter and a group of her friends, food was plentiful and delicious, staff were friendly, attentive and the whole experience was very chilled.

Booked the potting shed for a friends 70th birthday.. It's just lovely here at the back of a flower shop, you can either eat outside in the conservatory or in the shed, which is prettily decorated.. We were well looked after, with any tea or coffee we wanted, we chatted before a beautiful afternoon tea was brought out. A wonder full selection of sandwiches suitable for all tastes, a chocolate cheesecake and a nice variety of fresh homemade cakes... We stayed for over two hours chartting and we could have had as many drinks as we wanted.. Takeaway boxes provided for the cakes we couldn't eat, nice touch.... We will all be back another day for sure..

What a fantastic way to celebrate with my family and friends at The Garden Tea Rooms,

Disappointing selection of sandwiches....some dry...beautiful setting.....staff nice....used to be able to choose slice of cake....been to alot better....was lovely last time we came...😔

A lovely tea room set in a quiet and private location. A very reasonably priced menu with a great selection of cakes and lunch options. Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Such a wonderful, relaxing garden tea room with a lovely ambiance and fantastic attentive staff. One of my favorite places.

Fell on this by chance looking for somewhere to take Mum to for lunch. The garden is so inviting and the little potting shed looks just the place for afternoon tea. Access is a bit of a wriggle if you dont know the area so dont give up. Staff were lovely and although we didnt have cakes, they all looked scrummy. Its not posh, its vintage shabby chic with an eclectic mix of tables, chairs and crockery. Mum is looking to go back as its very local to her so it will be afternoon tea next time! We had chicken Caesar wrap and jacket potato with stilton and bacon - was yum. We ordered tea for two and had a large tea pot so several cups each were had!!

WOW!! This is a hidden gem. The service is warm and friendly; nothing is too much trouble and the seating is lovely and quaint. The food was bountiful and delicious. Best of all, if you can't finish those super duper cakes, you can get them boxed up to take away.

Such a quaint little tea room Garden is clean with plenty of tables and chairs to sit at Good range of drinks and cakes at reasonable prices to

A lovely tea room with potting shed which is where we sat , my daughter treated myself and her nan to afternoon tea we were served straight away to what drinks we would like the lady was very helpful and cheery , we had a lovely variety of sandwiches and cakes which were all freshly made and they kept popping back ask if there was anything else we wanted and refresh our teas it was a lovely day and thoroughly enjoyable .

Three of us had the pleasure of afternoon tea here. The plate served with sandwiches cakes and scones was full. Limitless tea served we were not rushed all felt really relaxed and comfy. Would recommend this as a treat Thank you

A lovely little tea room & garden. we visited for afternoon tea with a hen party. We payed extra to book the potting shed for private use, lovely decor - I would only suggest they had a CD player or somewhere you could play background music from as that was the only thing missing.

Have been to the Garden Tea Rooms on many occasions in the past for Afternoon Tea. Now Under new management, the staff were very friendly and quick to serve. Good choice of fillings for the sandwiches but the cakes left me slightly disappointed, no cheese cake & the jam tarts to me looked & tasted shop bought !

I visited today with a friend. We went and had afternoon tea. They provided an excellent selection of sandwiches ,cakes,scones, crisps and tea. It was all very yummy and excellent service. I will definitely be visiting again soon.

After reading the rave reviews, we visited the tea rooms for lunch, however we were left rather disappointed. It is now under new management. Service was extremely slow and cafe was quite cold. Once our order was taken we ordered 2 paninis and a club sandwich, we were then told there was only 1 panini available so changed our order. We were then told 20 mins later they had no chicken for the club sandwich so changed that part of the order. When the food came, a toastie arrived instead of the panini, as they had already sold the one they had left. The sandwiches were ok but the side salad had seen better days, a ham salad sandwich came with one slice of ham and only lettuce. We were going to order cake afterwards but choice was limited and this had almost run out also, plus having been in over an hour for 3 sandwiches we gave up the idea.

Tucked away and in a delightful garden. This welcoming little tea room offers homemade, delicious and tempting cakes and treats. Lovely spot to meet friends.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, can't fault this lovely little tea room. Can highly recommend. Becky and her staff go the extra mile

Came here for my Mum's 90th birthday celebrations last Saturday ( see two other reviews of this event) and as everything was so good returned today for my Mum's actual birthday. We had a pot of tea and a (very large!) portion of cake each, and everything was just as good as last weekend. You couldn't ask for a friendlier welcome, a more relaxed atmosphere or better food. Not to be missed

Have visited the tea rooms half a dozen times and each time the food has been excellent. Afternoon tea was especially good with a good choice of cakes and sandwiches and all beautifully fresh. It's not cheap but it's worth the money. It is limited on space so booking is recommended.

Following on from the previous comment from one of the guests, we'd like to also say what an excellent 'afternoon tea party' this proved to be! The secluded location is perfect for those wanting a 'private' gathering for whatever occasion. The non-matching chairs, tables, China cups, saucers, plates & tablecloths make it so quirky. Rebecca, the owner & her assistant Lauren were so friendly & attentive & ensured that we had everything we needed which included that the teapots & jugs of milk were never empty! As mentioned in the previous review, the food was of a high quality, being beautifully presented on 3 tier cakestands & the generous size homemade cakes were absolutely delicious! Thank you Rebecca & Lauren for everything - we will highly recommend the Garden Tea Rooms to everyone & we will definitely be returning soon!

We had private party here to celebrate a 90th birthday. The tea room was a perfect location and size for the group of us (15) and occasion

I have visited this establishment several times for lunch, afternoon tea or just coffee and cake. The service is always friendly and welcoming and the food is fabulous (especially the cakes!). If you are thinking of going for afternoon tea I would recommend booking in advance as it's a small place and it gets very busy.

Only ever had hot drinks and scone/teacake/cake here but that could change in the near future! Everything is delightfully presented (even the butter comes in a little dish, not those pre-wrapped rectangles) and portions are, in my experience, large. The teacakes are huge and have plenty of fruit; the cakes are delicious and home-made with a varying selection from day to day. Steaming mugs of latte are again huge. You have a choice of three eating areas, conservatory (where the food preparation goes on), "potting shed" or the garden itself, depending on the weather. Other items on the menu look really appealing (judging from what I saw on other peoples plates) so must try something else but we usually just pop in for a morning coffee. The cafe is to be found behind the florists near the crossroads by the Green.

Just moved to the area and stumbled across this lovely little place for lunch. Had the most tasty cheese and red onion sandwich - the granary bread was so fresh. Hubby had chicken and chorizo panini which he said was a good combination. Sat outside in the cute garden area for our lunch, enjoying the last of the summer sun. The service was efficient and friendly and the table was nice and clean. The cakes looked scrumptious - will have to come back to try them out. Will definitely become a regular here!

Visited The Garden Tea Rooms today with my husband, aunt and uncle who are celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary, this visit was a treat for them. What a hidden gem of a place and one I can thoroughly recommend. The staff were lovely, at no point were we rushed and the two ladies could not do enough to make our celebration all the more special. We were in the Potting Shed which was beautifully decorated with a lovely view of the garden. Oh my goodness, what a delight when the cake stands were brought to our table. The sandwiches were freshly made with plenty of filling, the scones were huge and freshly baked. The cakes were delicious also. Everything was beautifully presented. What was not eaten was wrapped in foil and placed in a bag for aunt and uncle to take home to have for their supper. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Thank you Garden Tea Room ladies, this is one outing we will not forget.

I was given an afternoon tea voucher as a gift for here and was not disappointed-great choice, lovely staff, delicious sandwiches, cakes and scones. Would definitely recommend.

Visited with a friend. The food was yummy and very reasonably priced. The setting and decor were gorgeous. Lots of attention to detail has clearly gone into it. The service was quick and friendly. The only thing that let it down was the fact that the owner or manager was in there with some friends and they were all behaving like they were at home. They were spread out across 3 tables and were so loud. It made my friend and I feel very uncomfortable, like we were intruding, and at one point I had to put my finger in one of my ears to try and block the noise so I could hear what my friend was saying to me. For this reason I sadly wont be returning.

We are in a position to visit the Tearooms most days of the week (except Sunday )and we are never disappointed with what is on offer whether it is just a Tea and a coffee or afternoon tea the quality and Quantity is something to cherish and ALL the staff make you most welcome , it is a pleasure in this day and age to be served by people who care about the service they give to the general public either rain or shine you always get a smile

I can not recommend this little gem enough!! I booked afternoon tea for myself and 6 of my family for my 50th birthday at quite short notice and I can't fault the customer service I received. Although they were fully booked they offered to stay open for us so we had the place to ourselves we were made to feel so welcome and were not rushed. As the weather was unpredictable they set up a table in the garden and a reserve in the potting shed. The sandwiches and cakes were amazing we also had unlimited supply of tea. When the heavens opened we were swiftly moved into the potting shed? This little gem is excellent value for money Thank you for helping make my 50th birthday special

Booked this as it had so many good reviews and you can see why. Great quality bread and fillings in the sandwiches. Gorgeous scones with oodles of jam, butter and clotted cream. The most delicious cakes I've seen for a long time ( the carrot cake was to die for....the rest are in the fridge yet to be eaten). More than enough for everyone. We had to take most of the cakes home. Super friendly staff. Cute setting. Gorgeous coffee and tea. Can't rate it highly enough. Can't wait to go back.

This is a hidden gem - a beautiful garden and bijou tea room with the most delectable treats. We couldn't resist the high tea which was both delicious and plentiful. Service was friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. High tea is served with a selection of sandwiches, yummy scones, cake of the day and a choice of cheesecakes. My advice is go hungry, but even if you do, you'll be unlikely to finish all the tasty treats. Don't worry though, staff are happy to box up what you can't manage so you have some take home treats! If you're not hungry enough for the high tea experience, there's a choice of cakes, sandwiches and jacket potatoes - everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. Highly recommended.

First you are made to feel so welcome here, it's quite small and cosy, lovely in warmer weather as lots of outside tables. Excellent choice of pannini's sandwiches, etc but the cakes, wow!, I had a Caramac 3 tier slice it was huge. And tasted home made and delicious. Tea is served in pretty China, I warn you once will not be enough, as it's a different cake every day, not forgetting the cheesecake and cupcake display. Everything reasonably priced. What you waiting for. Enjoy!
