The Garden Tea Rooms in Great Yarmouth

First time here. I went for a coffee and cake after cleaning my parent's grave. The cafe is lovely and welcoming. Prices are good. My cappuccino was first class but my fruit scone was awful. It was dry and didn't taste great, which was a shame. Either it was stale or the ingredients were not great.

Had the best afternoon tea at the Garden tea rooms. The sandwiches were perfect, absolutely delicious, crusts cut off, all dietary requirements catered for with advanced notice. The cakes were really lovely, very tasty and freshly made. Andy and Gail welcomed us with a smile and said hello when we arrived, showed us to our table. The food was excellent, they topped up our tea and coffee. The setting is so relaxing and peaceful. It’s very reasonably priced for what you get, it beat me and Andy put a couple of my cakes in a bag for me to eat later at home with a cup of tea bless him. We highly recommend afternoon tea at the Garden Tea Rooms, for the warm friendly greeting, the delicious food and drinks and the relaxing atmosphere and whole experience.

Used this venue after a funeral as it was convenient paid 13 95 a head for hot and cold buffet very bad value for money hot part of the food was cheap chicken nuggets and cheap . meat skewers very poor selection of sandwiches quiche cut so thin could not pick it up as was the cake when mentioned this to the rude manager Andy his comment was I never seen people eat so much you do get tea and coffee when he decides to Bring i around, now worth the 400.00 paid i double not recommend this place f a wake could have gone restaurant for that kind of money

Fabulous HOME MADE FOOD. Cakes 🍰 Best Bacon & Lentil soup I’ve ever tasted .. 10/10. Will go again 🔜 & service with a smile

After attending my brothers funeral we decided to have refreshments with some of the funeral party before they travelled home. The tea rooms themself are nice and the tea and coffee also good, but the catering manager Andy leaves a lot to be desired. Someone moved a chair to which he leapt out of the kitchen to bark across in front of everyone that “don’t move the chairs we might need to get out in an emergency. There is really no need to speak to people in that manner anytime and especially after a funeral. Also another family member used the wrong door to the toilets which he was then shouted to get out this is a private room. Whilst I appreciate everybody has bad days I can assure him it was not as bad as ours. Compassion and empathy not rudeness would of been so much better.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and great setting. Met with family before a funeral and was so nice to have a place to meet and to laugh together and share memories.

We visited the tea rooms before a funeral, what a lovely, welcoming place it is, lovely coffee and beautiful lemon drizzle. We found ourselves back here for the wake in a separate room. The Host was absolutely great, he made sure our cups were never empty and the food was all fresh and obviously made there. If I could give you 6 stars I would.

We recently used the hospitality room and afternoon cake and tea/coffee after a burial service. Andy could not have been more helpful in arranging and was very supportive during the afternoon. The cakes were delicious and everyone commented on how tasty they were and how frequently they were offered extra tea or coffee.

I’m sorry to leave such a low star rating as the coffee was lovely and the lady that worked behind the counter! Unfortunately after a 2 hours car trip to meet my family to inter one of my very close family members ashes! I didn’t expect to be greeted by a very curt blunt man called Andy behind the counter! I was very desperate for the toilet and had every intention of buying a coffee! There was a couple of lady’s in the queue so I decided to head for the toilet first then queue up! I accidentally went into the back room as this is where I thought the toilet was! To be then asked very abruptly what I was doing in there! He then went in to say the toilet was out the front and presumably I was buying a drink! His manor wasn’t what I was expecting at a place you would only ever go to if you had been recently bereaved or visiting a loved ones place of rest! As a family we have been recently bereaved and feeling a little fragile! I’m not an overly sensitive person but obviously was going to lay rest to a loved one! So maybe a little more emotional than normal, to be honest you just in that situation want to be greeted with kind words and a smile! Where the tea rooms is situated at the crematorium I would have thought the importance of someone kind is so important! I did cry in front of him and told him I didn’t like his attitude towards me and thought he was very rude! He didn’t once try to apologise just continued to tell me he wasn’t rude and he was the manager! The fact I was upset and crying just made me even more upset that he really didn’t care! Not the right person for the job!

Made our first visit to the Garden Tea Rooms last week and what a lovely new place, only wish we lived closer so we could go often. The range of food and drinks are fantastic and I guarantee you will not get cappuccino or mocha drinks better anywhere and then when you add on the teas, milk shakes and great selection of hot chocolate drinks including the indulgence, well you just can not go wrong, there was a great range of cakes available when we went, there are bagels, wraps, toasties with some lovely fillings and my personal favourite the tiger bread baguettes , I had an egg mayo and bacon, yum, yum, yum. and I would also like to mention the service, it was first class. Anybody visiting here will not be disappointed, can't wait to go back. PS, Great prices too.
