The Hide Coffee and Tea House in Tewkesbury

Divine food, great coffee. What more could you ask for? A place worth booking to make sure you can get in. I had the middle eastern breakfast and my partner has the south african breakfast. Both were beautifully presented and totally scrummy.

Superb, small cafe that provides the best roast beef ciabatta sandwich I've ever had. Tiny bit chilly but more than made up for by the owner's warmth and cheerfulness. Highly recommended for lunch snacks and cake.

Visited for lunch on a bitter afternoon We had a warm welcome from the staff. My son and I ordered beef sandwiches, my husband ordered caramelised onion and garlic soup which was delicious Followed these up with berry & almond cake, date crumble and brownie all yummy with early grey and coffees Excellent service, will return

Although I was only here for an afternoon coffee, the very pleasant staff treated me as if I was their best customer. This observation was re-enforced by the way that they interacted with the local customers. Nothing was too much trouble, and requests were always greeted with a warm smile. Had I stayed in Tewkesbury for longer than the one night, then I would have had hesitation in returning.

Best coffee in Tewkesbury, interesting choices on the menu and such delightful owners - highly recommend visiting The Hide when in Tewkesbury

Fabulous cosy little place. Excellent customer service, delicious food. Best soup we’ve ever had! Also super pet friendly. Will definitely be back!

Adored our lemon and ginger cake, a huge slice each that was so soft with very light melt in your mouth buttercream. I loved my Rooibos cappuccino which I hadn’t heard of before leave alone had one. Hubby also loved his mocha with nice and strong coffee. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Whole cafe was very clean with a lovely atmosphere. Cake plates were on pretty tea plates.very good position on main shopping street. Very pretty Tudor style building with wooden inside giving a warmly atmosphere.

Lovely find. Super service with friendly staff with a varied menu plus cakes! Lovely meals, We enjoyed everything here!

We stopped in for breakfast yesterday with our dog. The staff could not be any more welcoming or accommodating throughout our visit. The breakfast was delicious and we will definitely be back.

A real gem of a place. The staff are all super friendly, the coffee was exceptional and the range of food was interesting and excellent quality. The sort of place you wish was a short walk from home…!Whats even better is it’s dog friendly so no sitting outside (they have a couple of tables outside if you prefer!) if you don’t want to.

Well worth a good lunch! The staff and service was excellent and extremely friendly! Would 100% come again!!

Lovely find in Tewskesbury. Coffee and food excellent. Very clean and friendly smiling staff. Flat white was the best I’ve had in a long time and the chicken skewers with salad very tasty. Definitely visit again when in Tewskesbury. Thank you!

I can honestly say that we both had the best flat white I have had for ages if not THE BEST and I am fussy about my coffee. Service great too!

We visited here last year and returned purely to have the bobotie again - yum. Lovely little cafe. Friendly staff snd customers. Dog friendly. Will return every time we’re in the area.

Relaxed atmosphere, feels like a home away from home. Friendly staff and delicious food. Can’t wait to come back and try all the cakes.

Lovely cafe. We had tea / coffee and very good scones. Nice china cups etc.; welcoming staff. People who’d had meals were very complimentary about their food. Check it out

Wow! Had possibly the best sandwich I’ve ever had, Salted Beef Stack. They did themselves out of a bit of business tho, I was too full to have cake!! The coffee was great, lovely chilled water and my Wife’s sandwich and cake were delicious too

Stopped for lunch on our day out in Tewkesbury - gorgeous home made soup and a toasted sandwich. All the cakes are freshly baked and all look delicious. Great coffee and very friendly service in this cosy little cafe. Do support it if you are...

Stopped off mid-journey from the South West for a coffee and snack. The scones with jam & cream were superb, good hot coffee and a pot of tea served in a fine china cup. Very friendly service and reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone near...

We both enjoyed our smoked salmon sandwiches greatly, a good balance of salmon, cream cheese and rocket. I could have eaten another! Also the dark hot chocolate was divine, just what was needed on a cold winter day. Lovely friendly service, I'd definitely recommend to...

Following a lovely walk in Tewkesbury, we happened upon the Hide. What a lovely find! Very busy but well worth the wait - excellent coffee and lemon and ginger cake to die for! Staff were very friendly and helpful and also very happy to accommodate...

Lovely little cafe we found by accident. We received a warm welcome. Friendly staff. Great coffee!!! Dog friendly. Would definitely return.

The roast beef sandwich was amazing and my husband said the goats cheese one was just as good. Lovely friendly place - small but worth a stop

An absolutely fantastic little place to stop by! We called in with our dog on a hot day, and received such a welcome. We were only going to have a drink, but once we saw the menu, we decided to leave our sandwiches in the...

This was a meeting of ladies who left school in South Africa in 1970 & hadn't seen each other since 2019. I came across this cafe run by ex South Africans & was certainly not disappointed. I had a delicious boerewors roll with tomato &...

Absolute gem of a place. Lovely staff, very friendly and chatty and well versed in gluten free food provision and options. Food, cake, coffee/tea and wine delicious. The traditional boboti (veggie version) was a stunning meal and no wonder there was only one of these...

Incredibly friendly staff with the most amazing atmosphere and lovely food. Walked in to a friendly welcome from the staff and orders were taken quickly and delivered quickly as well. Whilst their menu might not be extensive, what they have they do brilliantly and the...

Had fabulous service, the bobotie is a must, very delicious all washed down with a bottle of The Red (red wine) a cheaper but just as palatable as a bootle of chocolateblock. Well done to the 2 owners and the staff for a very warm...

A few days in Tewkesbury and spotted this gem. My partner enjoyed their house special of Bobotie and I had smoked salmon on a toasted ciabbata.. both were superb. We also enjoyed a scone and a coffee and hazelnut muffin.. scrummy. If you visit Tewkesbury...

Our third visit and it has always been a pleasant experience. The food is very good - try the bobotie, it’s delicious and we’re willing to bet that the coffee is the best in town. The owners are delightful. Customer satisfaction really matters to them....

This place is amazing, food staff fantastic, we live in Devon, but planning trips around a lunch break at the superb cafe going forward.

Really enjoyed a visit here. The atmosphere is lovely and warm and the menu is small but good. The chicken skewers I had were so juicy and freshly cooked, and the flat bread was soft and fluffy. Price was reasonable and the staff were very...

I visited Tewkesbury for the first time and wanted a quick yet good lunch. After searching the length of the town, ended up here. It was definitely worth the walk! Even though I arrived at 1.30pm, I was still made to feel welcome and was...

We popped in for breakfast on bank holiday Monday. Food was literally delicious and beautifully presented. Also had our large dog with us, who was made welcome and given a treat too

Called in here as it has good reviews but I honestly cannot say that it lived up to its billing. A small little cafe no different from any other save for a slight emphasis on a S African theme.

Hey! What’s not to like. A little bit of Africa. Fantastic food. Superb atmosphere. Best ever bobotie (annoyingly better than my own!). Well done. Hope to adopt as new home from home

Why do some catering establishments think that their customers will enjoy listening to loud radio? Music is bad enough - but radio with its dismal news, dire listener's 'viewpoints' and jangling commercials. There's an arrogance that says "we the staff like listening to Radio XXX,...

Amazing as always. Consistently delicious food served beautifully with a friendly welcome. Shout out goes to the orange polenta cake today. It was perfect. Always our go to for a bite to eat in Tewkesbury. See you again soon!

Popped in for coffee and cake on a chilly sightseeing day. Very friendly service accompanied the excellent coffee and a couple of good moist cakes. Was so impressed by the menu (all freshly made and apparently changing daily) that came back a couple of hours...

Amazing food served quickly and freshly made to order, staff very friendly and welcoming as soon as you enter, would highly recommend

Have visited several times and decided to give feedback based on my many visits. Always greeted with a friendly smile and hello. The ladies in the kitchen often come out when time permits to chat as well. I like that the main menu is on...

Arrived a 2 pm, party of 4. Staff member looked fed up and unfriendly basically said there’s cakes at the counter if you want to look, huffing and puffing with note pad in hand! Didn’t offer any other options. Very few cakes on offer. We...

My wife and I visited twice this week with our dog. We initially went in just for a quick coffee but were made to feel so welcome we went back this morning for an amazing breakfast. All of the food is individually cooked to order....

Having a day trip to Tewkesbury and randomly choose to stop here. A great decision. Made very welcome and tried the bobotie ( a South African dish). It was gorgeous! My roobios was nice and fresh and my better half enjoyed her cappucino . The...

Canes across this cafe when visiting Tewkesbury. It is excellent. Lovely real coffee, great food and a menu with a difference. Can well recommend. Just up from the abbey.

Highly recommend! Lovely coffee and food always great - both breakfast and the regular menu. Staff are welcoming and always make a fuss when we visit with the dog, which as regular customers we do often!

I stopped in Tewkesbury on my way to visit a friend in Evesham. I stumbled across the Hides Café. It was an intriguing building with an interesting menu. I had a lovely lunch and thought the atmosphere, food, drink as well as service was superb....

Superb food - had the incredibly tasty and beautifully presented bobotie and I would heartily recommend it! Staff extremely pleasant and efficient. Toilet spotlessly clean. This place is an absolute gem and would definitely recommend it for lunch, coffee, afternoon tea etc - would have...

We popped in here just as they were closing but we grabbed a flat white coffee (superb) and a rooibos tea (excellent) to take away. We also grabbed a slice of apple and cinnamon cake and a homemade biscotti. Both were delicious. The owners adored...

Visited here today and sat outside to watch the world go buy. The coffee was great but the best bit was the homemade scone served with clotted ream and jam which was truly delicious. Great service as well.

I was invited by a friend to meet for lunch here just over two years ago and I've been a regular ever since! You are always ensured the best coffee in Gloucestershire and the finest and tastiest delights freshly cooked and baked in house. It...

Excellent service, lovely cheerful staff! A pleasant , calm atmosphere. Had a lovely chat and a joke when we were paying! Enjoyed some cakes - Gluten free option was amazing, it was nice to go to a cafe that sold something different other than chocolate....

What a find! This cafe/restaurant is really special. The menu was interesting., lovely to find something different! Food was good quality, prepared with care, beautifully presented and soo delicious. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. A little treasure in wonderful, medieval Tewkesbury. Will definitely return.!

Best coffee and food excellent. A bit more expensive than the chains but well worth it for the quality.

Stumbled on The Hide by accident just opposite the Abbey. Coffee really excellent and I endorse the Melbournian's comment about the flat white.. Interesting (and very fresh) South African/Middle Eastern food and very friendly service. With all these 5 star reviews they are going to...

They know how to make a PROPER flat white (and this is coming from a Melbournian). The owner really knows her coffee and they source beans from a local roaster. Very freindly service - we were visiting for the long weekend and felt like a...

The Cafe was full of the most delicious smell when I collected our takeaway last Saturday evening! We had spicy short ribs and lemon curd sponge pudding with whiskey custard. The meat was so tender and great depth of flavour. It made for a fabulous...

We’ve just had dinner at this little gem. I can only describe it as a South African tapas!!! Delicious! And we were really shocked at the bill. The lady looking after everyone is delightful and the two ladies doing the cooking came out to each...

Amazing little cafe that does amazing food and coffee. Really friendly staff. The Shakshuka is amazing! Thanks

Fab home made cake served here. Great service and all very covid friendly. Staff very welcoming I would definitely recommend

Totally unexpected pleasure to stumble across this tea room/restaurant - staff were good fun, the hot cheese scone was the best we have ever tasted!

We called in for tea and cake after a walk and it was lovely. The ladies behind the counter were friendly to everyone and keen to make people feel safe and welcome, and Covid measures were very much in place. We had a very nice...

My boyfriend was very excited to find out there was a South African cafe next to where we were staying. There are plenty of places we can get snacks and bits in the UK but this is the first time we’ve found somewhere serving South...

Paid our first visit to The Hide after a nice afternoon walk. We were warmly greeted by Kelly who looked after us and ran us through the menu of the day. There was a good selection of savoury dishes some with an authentic South African...

The owners are South African and have spent a lot of time in the Middle East. They draw upon their experiences in in presenting dishes that will be new to many here in the UK whilst often 'tweaking' things that would be more familiar. Apparently...

Popped in for meal yesterday, staff cleared table to include us. Both had the babote....I'd like a little more sweetness and found the portion size a bit overwhelming for lunch. Followed by an excellent gluten free almond and 🍒 🍰 Given the chancellor paid half,...

Went for a light lunch after visiting the abbey. We felt welcomed, service was quick and the food and drink was lovely.

We popped in for lunch on the first day of eat-out-to-help out so had a great bargain as well as a thoroughly delicious meal. Very generous portions, I had the avocado and smoked salmon salad, two expensive ingredients that weren't skimped on and great value...

Just enjoyed our first top quality takeaway of souvlaki chicken & home made bobotie. Excellent service, generous portions. Highly recommended. Looking forward to Bunny Chow on Saturday.

We had booked the restaurant for earlier in the year just as this coronavirus hit, so instead, a few weeks back the lovely people at the Hide did a Sunday takeaway lunch for us which was superb.Lots of different dishes and tastes including macaroni cheese...

Decided to have a Friday treat so decided on a Souvlakia dish from The Hide. OMW, amazing! Succulent chicken bursting with taste. Greek salad and flat bread was a perfect addition to this meal. Overall delicious. Would absolutely recommend.

I live nearly an hour away from Tewkesbury, but decided to travel there for lunch at The Hide Coffee & Tea House as I had enjoyed it so much last year. Had the Bobotie again, which is so good - can’t recommend it enough. Followed...

WoW, love this great little place. Coffee is always great, and I’m very fussy when it comes to a good cup of coffee. Whether you are in the mood for a sweet treat or savoury meal this wonderful place caters for all tastes. Always fresh,...

We dropped by for late breakfast as a group of 5 adults with two dogs. We had a wide range of tastes and dietary requirements- we all liked it so much we returned the next morning. Excellent food with a Southern African twist, good coffee...

Had a lovely meal and a hot drink whilst being in town. Best latte ever, very friendly staff and owners. Can't wait to go back and try the interesting menu.

We had spent the morning exploring Tewkesbury, including the delightful Abbey, and popped in for lunch. We were warmly welcomed by members of staff who explained items on the menu. We opted for a panini and the bobotie, national dish of South Africa, and both...

Delicious home-made cakes, coffee full of flavour and delightfully friendly owners made this the perfect place to round iff our afternoon in Tewkesbury on a winter afternoon. This is a no-frills cafe, but snug and welcoming, right opposite the abbey. Our generous wedges of coffee...

Our first visit, just for coffees today- great coffee, lovely staff we will definitely be back to try the interesting menu

My second visit to The Hide and once again a fantastic experience all round. From delicious meals to amazing service, I couldn’t fault a thing. I visited with family and we ordered - x2 Thai sweet potato soup, x3 Bobotie, macaroni cheese (which they kindly...

The staff were amazing and extremely helpful, ensuring our birthday group were well taken care of, including a special dessert for the birthday girl. Really yummy food and happy tummies all round. Highly recommend a visit

Friendly, welcoming service with good range Inc hot food but we just wanted drink before nearby concert. Well placed for e.g. Abbey or riverside walks. Good thought provoking motto on wall and maybe changing e.g. monthly. New to area, second visit and will be back.

Stopped for lunch on our way home from a weekend break. Had their excellent bobotie, which we both thoroughly recommend. Followed it with cake and coffee - also great. Wish we lived closer and could visit regularly.

I visited the Hide Coffee and Tea House with my daughter and we were so impressed. The food, coffee, service and atmosphere was amazing. My daughter had the rooibos latte and loved it, she was totally converted... Well worth a visit and we will be...

I am very proud to have found this wonderful place while visiting Tewkesbury, whilst my son in law, who is South African and lives in Tewkesbury, didn't know it existed! Small and cosy inside with the most amazing food. I cannot recommend the rose and...

Popped in for a light lunch. Friendly service, interesting menu and good food at a reasonable price. The boboti was as good as any I’ve eaten in SA. Also do scrumptious cakes! Well worth a visit.

Amazing food and very friendly staff 😁 top marks! The shatsuka is incredible and don't miss the South African sausage either!

Try this lovely little cafe serving freshly baked cakes, food and beverages. Home cooking at its best. If your in Tewkesbury you really ought to take a look.

Although quite small there is a great selection of cakes and hot food, with a South African twist. The coffee was some of the best I have had, including London. Make sure you visit it since cafes like this deserve to be supported.

Lovely friendly staff Great coffee and dog friendly Cakes looked amazing although we didn’t sample on this visit.

Lovely place to pop in and recharge your batteries with a coffee and bit of cake. I had a cappuccino and the wife had a tea. Both really lovely.

Super food and atmosphere. Throughly enjoyed our meal and can't find a single fault. Well priced too. Highly recommend

My husband and I had lunch here yesterday and what an unbelievable experience! Beautiful food. Lovely and friendly people. Probably the best place we’ve eaten at in Tewkesbury. Can’t wait to go back again and again!

We had a day out in Tewkesbury and called in here for lunch.It was all perfect. I had a very delicious aubergine and lentil salad and my husband had a dish with peppers and goats cheese and we were both very happy with our meals....

Stopped off in Tewkesbury on our way south solely to visit this place - we'd been once before and our second visit didn't disappoint! Fantastic coffee, freshly prepared, hot and very tasty food, friendly staff - just perfect :)

We were intending to go to the Abbey Tearooms when my husband spotted the sign outside The Hide saying they served a South African breakfast with boerewors! We just had to try it out and so glad we did. This is such a lovely little...

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Home made south African food, friendly staff and a gorgeous little cafe. I had the babotie and my partner had chicken and apricot skewers. Both were so different to anything I'd ever eaten and I have immediately gone...

In Tewkesbury only for a couple of hours and walked past this place then stopped ... the breakfast sounded great so in we went. A small cosy establishment, very welcoming to both humans and dogs, excellent friendly service, and super fresh tasty food. An amazing...

I've visited this unique independent coffee and tea house serving breakfast, lunch and the most wonderful cakes all made in house, several times in the past few weeks and it never disappoints! Some of the dishes have a South African flare and the Bobotie is...
