The Georgian Tea Rooms in North Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent service and very good food and drink served at table by very friendly and efficient staff would recommend to everyone

What an unexpected pleasure! We were cycling round Dorset and accidentally found this lovely cafe down a side street. Healthy homemade food from soups, salads and quiches to cakes. Friendly service. Clean tables. It shows how the ordinary can be exceptional if done well. Probably one of the best cafes I've been to in the UK in years.

Fantastic food including probably the best cakes I've ever had. The scones are amazing too. Oh, and the scones. And the soup!

Passing Blandford we decided to go in and find somewhere for lunch. We spotted the Georgian Tea Rooms down a side alley and decided to try it. Initially, we thought we were out of luck as all the available tables were reserved. Fortunately we were early and able to get a table. Wide ranging menu of home cooked produce. The soup and quiche were both homemade and presented as a meal. Very tasty and filling, great service. It is also doggie friendly which was handy as we had our dog with us. Great find and will go again when we are passing.

A real gem of a find while staying in the area - so good we went twice! Once for lunch - lovely home cooked food, snacks and cakes, cream tea - toastie and panini comes with a lovely side salad and homemade coleslaw Once for Breakfast - nicely cooked fresh, good quality produce used - nice butchers sausages and perfect poached eggs! Good service, friendly and attentive - gets busy with locals, and tables being booked for lunch Very clean and great standards Good price for home cooked quality food

Breakfast average for price. Found the sign in the toilet quite disturbing relating to turning the lights off after use or help pay the electricity bill. I did query the bill as I was charged for two portions of jam instead of one which was met with a stony faced response. Not the atmosphere I would recommend.

We have been to this outstanding establishment many times and we are never disappointed. Wayne and Gerry are excellent hosts and the quality of delicious homemade food on offer is superb. Keep up the great work and long may you be there!

A really lovely cafe with friendly service and really lovely home cooked food. I had the quiche which was lovely and came with a host of sides to make a full plate at a reasonable price.

This is a lovely little tea room. We stopped for breakfast and it was delicious. It’s well worth a visit. We will certainly go back if only to sample the cakes!

Stumbled upon this place trying to avoid the rain, and what a find. Super friendly and great food. What more could you want. We will be back.

What a lovely tearoom! Friendly owner, excellent food, very clean and dogs are welcome! Sadly we won’t have time to visit again before the end of our holiday in Dorset.

Just popped in for a lovely Bacon sandwich on white bread for a cheeky breakfast treat. wonderful pot of tea too.

What can we say? UTTERLY AMAZING! We were on our return journey to Bicester, after a weeks holiday in Weymouth. We stopped in Blandford for fuel and to grab a bite to eat. We had tried the cafe just round the corner on the High Street but they didn’t allow dogs and boy, are we glad we were refused there! A table was soon made available for the 2 of us and our Border Collie. Apart from food I had cooked myself at the holiday cottage, this was a country mile better than ANYTHING we ate in Weymouth. We had a full English breakfast, a pot of tea and warm Dorset Apple cake with cream to finish. A beautifully presented, tasty, hot, British favourite was enjoyed immensely by both of us and I will be dreaming about that warm Dorset Apple cake, for a long time to come. Thank you to both of you for a scrumptious end to our rather disappointing culinary experiences of the past week. Don’t go anywhere else in Blandford…..head here.

Gorgeous salmon & broccoli quiche, salad and new potatoes with the best cup of tea in Blandford. Friendly staff, great food, what's not to love.

First visit for me, had soup and cheese scone. Really nice to be offered an alternative to the usual bread roll. Husband had visited previously and recommend we visit. He had a filled baguette and the freshest Bakewell Tart ever (straight out of the oven). Lovely food, friendly service, highly recommended and we will be back. Next time, plan to try the homemade quiche 🙂

We called in here by chance and found it delightful! The service was good as was the food, and the prices were very reasonable. Good tea rooms are hard to find, but I can recommend this to anyone wishing for that well earned refreshment!

Mum and daughter make a beeline for this tearoom when daughter home for the weekend. Moussaka and veg lasagna our choices today. Both exceptional - decent serving, full of flavour and beautifully presented. Service as ever friendly and swift. We’ve pledged to try the breakfast next time and I can earnestly recommend the cakes having sampled a fair few of them. We always come away feeling well fed and happy. Well done, Wayne and Gerry.

I visited today the price was reasonable and the food and coffee was OK for the price, however the atmosphere was not great and I felt very unwelcome with my children. The gentleman whom took the order was pleasant however the woman was rude and made comments about there being children and how it was 'chaos' - both children were sitting eating their cake. I approached the desk and was greated by the woman saying 'what do you want' in a rude tone. Overall it was unwelcoming and not children friendly, I will not return nor will I recommend.

Popped in here on recommendation from the tourist information centre. Tucked away off the high street this little gem isn’t very big but is welcoming. Excellent freshly made (still warm!) scones with clotted cream and jam come highly recommended

Stopped by today for tea and tea cakes, hidden down a alley off of the main high street but well signposted. Wish we had some of the the cakes as they looked delicious when I went up to pay., make sure to look at them by the counter before ordering. Lots of the tables had been reserved for lunch so make sure to book if you want to guarantee a table. Kind staff, reasonable prices.. only small negative was tea cakes were slightly burnt on the tops otherwise lovely.

Had a delicious breakfast, poached eggs were done to perfection and the welcome was very warm and friendly. Thank you.

Great place for a delicious breakfast and friendly faces. Good coffee and warm welcoming atmosphere as always….

Scrummy and well priced afternoon cream tea with generous portions and delicious scones! Breakfast the next morning was also delicious and there is a wide selection of home made jam, chutneys and salad dressings to purchase. Very friendly and excellent service- highly recommended !

Had most of the menu but must say Afternoon tea was remarkable. also a jolly good breakfast. All home cooked home made cakes scones jams chutneys etc. Good team husband and wife made sure you had everything and wanted for nothing.

Really friendly staff and a lovely breakfast in a lovely setting., even if they did get our toast the wrong way round lol 🙂. Thank you

My Farther and step mum run a lovely tea room / cafe must be visited fantastic home make cakes amazing breakfasts!! Cream teas!! A nice place to visit even just for a cuppa.

We stopped here for morning coffee and cake and were so pleased we did. Gorgeous homemade cakes plus jams, marmalade and dressing to buy. We had Dorset apple cake, bake well tart and a cream tea in our group. 5/5 for everything! I bought 2...

Excellent afternoon tea - all food super tasty particularly enjoyed the Dorset apple cake. Staff really friendly amd knowledgeable with regards to local amenities. Would definitely recommend

We had a voucher for afternoon tea, the food was very nice and extremely generous in size! Due to Covid regulations we were very spaced out inside the tea room, we asked to sit outside but told that was only for a very short time...

I have used this cafe quite a few times, I have never been disappointed, the owners are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble, food is amazing and good quality, I have sampled the breakfast, lunch and homemade cake 😊 I would highly recommend...

We stopped in Blandford for a coffee and brunch and found this little Gem. The cafe was extremely clean and quaintly decorated. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious. I had an omelette and we also had a breakfast baguette and tea...

Best cafe in blandford by far. Amazing service and great vegan and vegetarian options available. All food fresh to order and great quality produce.

I visit at least once a week and am always pleased I did! A good, varied menu, with vegetarian options, and a friendly service with a warm welcome guaranteed every time. My favourite is their egg mayonnaise sandwich on super soft granary bread.

Went here for a meeting with my area manager. It was homely with friendly service and lovely cup of tea in a proper China teacup and a scrummy piece of shortbread on the side.The table next to us were eating Apple cake which looked delicious....

After our last good visit we went back for lunch on a Friday. Again it was very busy with several tables reserved so they clearly have a following. There is a specials board in addition to the standard menu. Vegetarian and Vegan options also available...

It was a last minute decision to head into Blandford for breakfast on a lovely Saturday morning from Wimborne and am so glad we did. We ventured down a little alley and found this place. The customer service was brilliant and the cooking was equally...

This was excellent. We had lunch here and it was quiet, relaxing and the food was very tasty. Would definitely go again. The sign above the counter sums it up - "We don't serve fast food; we serve food as quickly as we can"

The tea room is tucked away down a pretty passageway. It's a lovely little tea room, we only had drinks, but the cakes looked very nice.

Stopped for soft drinks on a hot day. Sensible prices. Nice welcome. Lovely and cool. Just off main square.

Lovely tea room serving the most delicious, fresh and generous portions of food. Excellent value for money,Friendly husband and wife team where nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend you pay a visit you will not be disappointed

On recommendation of friends we called into this tea room and were very pleased to get a seat as it was very busy and clearly popular. It is down a side alley in Blandford off the main street but does have a sign out to direct you.Great choice on the menu and all home made on the premises.Prices are good too. Just over £14 for jacket potato with cheese, coleslaw and a nice dressed salad, poached eggs on toast which came on a hot plate, so it stayed warm whilst I ate it, and two drinks. Really happy with that.The owners were friendly and made us welcome.There are two toilets and these were clean and tidy.Looking forward to going back.

Why do tea rooms mostly close at tea-time (around 4.30)? And why do they make it so obvious that you are the last customers of the day and they are closing up around you? This place was one of those, and was depressing therefore, and perfunctory. On the plus side, they were dog-friendly. The teacakes arrived with 2 rock-hard pre-wrapped pats of butter. Teacakes are nothing if they are not buttered immediately, allowing all the wonderful butteriness to sink in. So, perfunctory - it avoided a "poor" because of the dog-friendliness

We first visited the tea room back in November and were very keen to go back. This trip, we have been 3 times in a week. On each visit, we have had lovely homemade quiches, sandwiches and vegetable pancakes to name a few. The side salads come with a tasty dressing and we all like the crusty bread too. We will certainly be back next time - with so many options on the menu, there’s always another meal to choose. Maybe breakfast or afternoon tea too. A lovely tea room which we highly recommend.

Came today with friends for breakfast, busy but good service & good food & friendly waiter. Our friend wanted her poached eggs cooked well & this was not a problem.

Found this Tea Room by chance had a really nice lunch very reasonably priced all the food cooked fresh my husband had the omelette really good I had the jacket potato decent size I could not finish it all nice salad with a great dressing

I dropped into the Georgian for a cup of tea and a bit of toast. A pleasant lady took my order for a pot of tea and 1 piece of toast.

So glad we tried this out of the many cafes in Blandford. On entering we found a fairly full clean and bright looking place, not a 'greasy spoon cafe' despite the amount of breakfasts being consumed! We were served quickly and pleasantly with one of the best breakfasts we've had in a while. Thoroughly recommend

We decided to visit Blandford for a trip out and we noticed the sign for the Georgian tea rooms so we popped down the lane. Lovely wee place, I ordered bacon Brie and cranberry panini and friend had ham and cheese toastie on gluten free bread both extremely yummy and tasty, we had a Dorset tea with clotted cream scones and pot of tea the scones were the loveliest I have tasted in a long time warmed through so soft and cream melted, can’t recommend this little place enough will definitely be back if visit Blandford again

We had a very enjoyable afternoon tea with lots of very tasty food. We would suggest that you skip lunch to leave room to fully enjoy the food on offer.

We stumbled across this place off the main drag and enjoyed both their lunch and cream tea offerings. Quaint surroundings and clean facilities.

ランチの後にデザートとお茶目的で利用しました。可愛らしい店内です。ケーキは激甘です。お茶の種類はとても多いですが、ティーバッグなのがちょっと残念でした。

Warm home made scones, clotted cream and chunky strawberry jam, and a great cup of tea. Warm welcome friendly staff. What a little gem to find. Will certainly go again when in the area.

Ticked away from the hustle and times of the road, this tea rooms is a hidden gem. Family owned and run, the food is honest and no frills. Great value

Having lived in Blandford for 6 months we have been getting increasingly disheartened by the quality of breakfast. Today however this has changed. Tucked away down an alleyway we stubbled across this tearoom. A cheeky find! The traditional breakfast was freshly cooked and used quality ingredients. Owners very friendly. They even had a pupil on work experience. Well done to the owners for giving this young person this opportunity.

Decided to pop in the tea rooms for a light lunch. Nothing wrong with the food, rather tasty and a good side salad.

On our way back from our holiday in Weymouth we couldnt fault the tasty breakfast, personable service and friendly atmosphere. Hidden down an old side street, the cafe oozes charm and the owners accommodated our well-behaved dogs too. We own our own cafe in Manchester and its always a pleasure to recieve great service and see a fellow restauranteer excelling in their field. Should we ever be down this way again, we would certainly make a stop off in the town for another tasty breakfast :)

I visited Blandford Forum on a hot day in June en route to Milton Abbas and decided to take a light lunch at the Georgian Tea Rooms. Blandford seems to have more than its fair share of alleyways and this is at the end of one (off East Street) - so it is a bit hidden. I ordered scrambled egg with cheese on toast and a cappuccino, that came to a reasonable £6.60. The food and drink was delicious, good value and quickly and politely served.

I go in here at least twice a week. The food is absolutely lovely, as are the owners. Definitely my favourite cafe!

Nice atmosphere/setting along with friendly staff. Good choice on the menu for a lunchtime cafe and the food was very nice. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 was the the jacket potato wasn’t quite cooked long enough for my liking or potentially microwaved as the outside was not crispy.

We had a very good lunch here on a warm spring day at this deservedly popular place. The scones were very good – the cheese scones are excellent – as are the sandwiches (ask for wholemeal or granary bread). The only disappointment was the availability of outdoor seating. This is not a criticism of the Georgian Tea Rooms per se (apparently the owner of the property does not permit tables), but the photos posted on TripAdvisor are misleading: one clearly shows a table in front of the café. In fact there's only a small bench: If you want to eat outside, the proprietor will bring out an extra chair or two, not a table. But if you're not fussy about al fresco dining, the indoor seating is quite comfortable!

Lovely little tearoom with friendly/helpful staff Very clean and tidy, well presented with pleasant decore Excellent value for money, would definitely recommend and return

For whatever reason you are in Blandford Forum, Dorset this small Family run Tea Room is a joy. It is pleasantly furnished but moreover the Home Made, Locally Sourced Food. I had The Mushroom Soup served with a Wonderfully Light Cheese Scone it was Delicious. You can eat as much or as little as you like. Their coffee is freshly ground. Wish this Lovely establish,ent was near me. Thank you Superb.

This small tea room is tucked down a small side street but worth seeking out. We called in for a light lunch. There is a good selection on the menu for either light lunches, snacks or full meals. A good range of gluten free too. Service and food both very good. Be prepared though as they don't take cards.

Small cafe,friendly staff,plastic table cloths. Breakfast reasonable,but not brilliant. However toast and marmalade included which was a real plus. Good service. We’ve been for lunch previously which was better.

Second visit within a week as we were quite impressed.

Love this cafe. They have a good range of foods on offer and I can get a decent meal as a vegan!! Wish they would do vegan cakes though!! They have good range of gluten free options too. Lovely breakfast. Will always go back. Lovely owners too.

The Georgian Tea Rooms can be found down one of the little alleyways in Blandford.

Just off East Street in Blandford Forum, look out for a narrow opening to a short row of properties, it’s called Georgian Passage, about halfway down you come across a small cafe eatery that’s well worth a visit. The owners gave us a warm welcome and we sat down and ordered a lasagna for lunch, home made generous portion and quality ingredients and very tasty. It came with warm crispy bread and butter and a quite delicious side salad. It’s great to find these small eating places which are run by independent and enthusiastic good cooks. Cakes look good too, hmmm! Must go back and check them out.

Tucked away from the main street and serving the usual fayre for a tea room. Nice variety and not kept waiting which is always a bonus. Good attentive service.

Found this tea room by accident. Had a delicious hot lunch with warm bread followed by a Dorset cream tea. Great quality and presentation.

A real gem, we used to live here a couple of years ago and didn't realise this place was here. Tucked away down a pedestrian lane.

Absolutely charming, almost hidden away down an alleyway off the main street. We called in for a light lunch. Fresh food, prepared to order on the spot. Really friendly owners, good service. Excellent for lunch.

It was a miserable wet day and we were on our way to holiday in the Cotswolds so we wanted some lunch reroute. We stopped in Blandford looking for a quick reasonable priced meal running up the town we just passed a greasy spoon and found the lovely little cafe. It is family run Mum in the little kitchen, Dad front of house being very welcoming and their daughter cleaning and clearing table. The menu was basic and we'll priced with some interesting specials on the board. My wife and I had a lovely chicken breast in a great tarragon creamy sauce and perfectly done fresh veg the kids had jacket pots with lovely fresh side salad. They also had amazing looking faggots and mash which I need to go back and try. They also had fab looking puds but we didn't have room for them but we will be back.

Mum and daughter had the most enjoyable lunch at this lovely tearoom. Cannot praise the spinach roulade from the specials board highly enough. All freshly cooked and most toothsome. Coffee cake to follow was generously portioned and quite delectable. Staff most friendly and efficient. We are already planning our next visit - can't wait!

What a lovely experience! Scones to die for, beautiful sandwich selection and friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend!

Walking along in Blandford for something to eat after visiting the Hospital, noticed a Tea room down a Alley, opposite the main square, so we thought we would give it a go. Very pleased, I ordered a Cheese and Mushroom Omelette,this came with a freshly made salad and french bread. My wife had a Cheese and Onion Toasty, also came with a freshly made salad Excellent, very tasty. Very friendly, and not expensive. We fully recommend this when visiting Blandford.

I was visiting down the area and saw this Tea room which looked lovely from the outside so me and my partner popped in for a small bite and a drink. Had to had it was a lovely , warm welcoming atmosphere. we ordered a tea and a coffee and they came straight away. For the food we ordered lasagne which were divine! It was not greasy which is always a worry. The meat in the lasagne was lovely and not fatty at all, It was a really good portion also. I had a scone also to finish it off which was beautiful! Hats off to the chef! one of the best scones I had and it was so fluffy and moist , the clotted cream and jam was to die for! I would say one of the best tea room I have been too and would come here again and again.

Was in blandford forum for the day out while visiting friends, lovely georgian town, we wanted to go somewhere nice for lunch, that wasn't a pub or a greasy spoon, we spotted the well sign posted gorgian tearoom, so in we went, well we wasn't disappointed, the tearoom was lovely, and the staff were so helpful and very friendly, and great menu with loads of different stuff to choose from, to suit all tastes, and this little treasure of a tearoom did not disappoint, we will most certainly be making this our favourite to drop in to on our next visit.

This was the most disgusting espresso I have ever tasted. Foul tasting hot water and £3.80 for a double. Really a bad joke. Be wise. Go elsewhere.

Had a late lunch of soup and gluten free cheese scone followed by a gluten free fruit scone with jam and clotted cream. The food was very good and nothing was too much effort for the staff, a really good gluten free cafe

Stopped here for the weekend. Had to wait ages for the food to come. When it did eventually arrive the bread was dry to meat in my sandwich was tough. The staff were very miserable and rude. Definitely will not be returning!

We were in the area for Easter and decided a return trip to Blandford was on the cards. After a mooch round the shops we decided to look for somewhere to eat. Not wanting pub grub, we found this little treasure down a small alleyway, but it is well signed from the main road. Its a lovely little tearoom. Nice pictures on the walls with pretty floral bunting adorning the walls. Nice comfy chairs and table clothed tables. The menu was good. baguettes, toasted sandwiches, flans, quiches, cakes, you name it they had it. We settled for a sandwich which you could have with the soup of the day or served with a side salad, along with crisps. The bread was so fresh and they weren't mean with the fillings either. All the food was absolutely delicious. This little gem is well worth a visit.

Stopped here for a lunch break whilst traveling south. Tucked away up an alley we thought the lunchtime snack (toasted sandwiches) in this small tearoom were very good. Great service and very tasty snack. I have never had a cheese and pickle toastie before but enjoyed it immensely.

Visited tearooms yesterday what a gem of a place, so friendly and the food wonderfulhidden up an alley but well worth finding. You will not be disappointed.

5* service from lovely, attentive owners who go out of their way to make sure you are well looked after. Food is lovely and great choice.. Would highly recommend, it is definitely worth a visit

Visiting friends, while having a look around called in the tea rooms for lunch, the homemade Mediteranian veg soup was delicious, the best we've ever tasted, enjoyed our lunch so much we called back for afternoon cream tea! Homemade warm fruit and plain scones, Devine! Would certainly recommend you call in the Georgian tea room, when In Blanford.

I absolutely love this little tea room. Nestled away a few steps off the main thoroughfare in Blandford, it's a hidden gem. Small, but perfectly formed. I've visited a few times and always order the mature cheddar and pineapple toasted sandwich, on gluten free bread, which comes served with a little side salad .... fresh, delicious and crisp with a tasty dressing. Lots of other options, but it's my favourite! The menu is not extensive, but there are daily specials and all food is freshly prepared and cooked to order. This is not gourmet dining, it is quality ingredients expertly cooked. On my previous visit, with my son, he enjoyed a fabulous roast .... I still had the cheese and pineapple toasted sandwich ! The service is welcoming and friendly. Fabulous place for breakfast, brunch, lunch or afternoon tea. Selection of homemade cakes and again there is usually a gluten free option.... unless it's already all been devoured. I'd recommend booking to guarantee a table, especially at lunchtime.

We were planning a lunchtime stop and found this place on tripadvisor. and were not disappointed. Arrived just after 12 30 and only two other customers but within 20mins the place was full. We had a couple of panini's and latte's which were very good. We would highly recommend this tea rooms and wish we had longer to spend in Blandford.

I met up with a friend in this tea room today and had the best Bakewell tart ever! The couple running the tea room are fairly new owners and are making a good job of it as they were chatty and polite. I can highly recommend The Georgian Tea Rooms

I had tea and cake at this cafe in a lovely little Georgian Mews. Highly recommend the Bakewell tart. Very clean and the service was friendly and efficient.

A cosy oasis that I was recommended by a work colleague. Excellent all round. Will always use the Georgian tea rooms when we go to Blandford. What a find. A little gem. Thank you.

We visited here one Saturday and it's a little gem.It's compact inside but it's cosy and homely. The staff are warm and friendly.We each had a cooked breakfast and it was cooked to perfection. It's the perfect place to go you won't be disappointed.

Popped in with my wife earlier this week for a spot of late lunch.Went for the Baked Potato with Chilli.Very nice, extremely nice people running the place and good service.They were right when they said the Chilli had a "kick".Definitely worth going if you need a café in Blandford Forum.

We were very glad to find a welcome here as we feared the cafe might be closed towards the end of a cold December afternoon. Thank you to all the Trip Advisor reviewers for encouraging us to seek out these Tea Rooms off Market Place. Delicious tea and scones exactly what we were hoping for.

My only observation is that it needs an extractor fan so you don't come out smelling of the cooking.

We came here a couple of years ago, and were so pleased to find it again. Friendly service, great fresh food, a real find

This is a lovely little cafe situated in a very old part of town. To get to it you have to walk over flagstones which are nearly 300 years old. Every meal is freshly prepared while you wait - but this does not mean that you have to wait a very long time - and the wait is worth it. The food is excellent, the staff are lovely and the bill is very reasonable. It's an all round win.

If you are visiting Dorset and love afternoon tea then try the Dorset cream tea here. The pot of tea is lovely and big, so you will get at least two cups per person. The scones are homemade, as are the cakes and are beautifully light.Also I have been reliably informed by a friend that they serve the best breakfast in Blandford, which I understand they stop doing at 15:00! There is also a wide range of other foods on their menu.

We were passing through Blandford and needed somewhere to stop and we were lucky to find this little place. Great service, wonderful food and very reasonable prices.

Lovely home cooked food. Delicious meals and snacks. not fast food it is cooked fresh whilst you wait
