The little teapot in North East Lincolnshire

My husband and I arrived at 1250 to be greeted with “have you booked?” As passing trade but living local we hadn’t realised you had to book and we were informed by a member of staff that they were really popular so tables get booked quickly but she would take a look. We noticed two tables free both seating 4, one in the corner and one set inbetween two other tables. The member of staff informed us that the corner table we had placed our things on was booked at 1:30 but we could have the one set inbetween the other tables and the one where everyone knocked into when passing. I told her we would be done quickly anyway so not to worry. My latte came and I had drunk it before my cake arrived, my husbands’ Americano was very weak but was hot, his cheesecake was tasty all the same and my Victoria sponge equally tasty. Within 15mins a table of 6 was cleared and made available and the table that we originally had chosen was offered as a “choice of where would you like to sit” to customers who had booked. We have eaten in some lovely places and had coffee in some nice settings but have never felt as uncomfortable or unwelcome before. I would say that if passing trade isn’t welcome then put bookings only on your page would be helpful, so customers who feel It would be lovely to drop by and support a local business don’t.

This is an excellent little cafe in the village of Laceby. I’ve been in a couple of times now and have found the staff to be friendly and welcoming, the food and drink excellent and the ambiance relaxing. The food is produced using local ingredients and is carefully prepared and is pleasing to the eye and to the taste. I warmly recommend the Laceby Teapot to anyone who wants good food and drinks at a good price. Just one thing - could the lattes be served on a saucer, please, as I don’t know where to put the spoon.

Lovely tearoom. Great homemade food! The cheese and onion quiche, oven baked jacket potatoes and cheesecakes are superb. Possibly the best we’ve ever tasted. The lemon cheesecake is perfect. Often you can’t taste any lemon - not here. Honestly, perfect. I’m also a bit of a coleslaw snob (can’t stand supermarket standard) - Teapot makes it just right. The ladies who run it deserve to do well. You can taste their food is made with love. Bless them, they also gave my little doggo a sausage. We’re only here for 4 days but plan to go back before we go home. Thank you, ladies! Top drawer ♥️

Celebrated my Mother in Laws 80th Birthday. Food was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for the staff even when I changed the party number/food orders last minute! My Mother in Law was absolutely blown away with her Birthday cake too. Thankyou sooo much guys!

I have just had a birthday cake made from the little tea pot it was amazing.the cake was beautiful . Admired by everyone . Husband so happy

I had read great reviews and I wasn't disappointed. I went for lunch with my son on a visit to spend some time with him. We both had jacket potatoes, excellent, tasty and well presented. He had a J2O and I had a delicious piece of cheesecake. Service was friendly efficient and the cafe was welcoming. All in all a great experience. It is no wonder they are doing well. Thank you

Been today for afternoon tea &celebrated a birthday sandwiches were freshest I have had in long time, sausage rolls with real sausage meat and quiche so light, cheesecakes extremely light & fluffy, delightful 😊 staff very welcoming, friendly helpful would reccomend to anyone, 10/10.

Another beautiful superb afternoon tea today for Mother’s Day. Arrived an hour early totally out of there plans but they accommodated us 1000% and my partner with a different meal, nothing is ever too much for these ladies and there serving manner is impeccable. I would recommend these every day. Roll on my next visit 👍

I dashed into the Laceby Teapot to grab some take away lunch. I had the sausage and caramelised onion quiche warm, with coleslaw and salad. They were very busy but nothing was too much trouble. So my lunch was warm and handmade and put in a takeaway box so I could come home and eat whilst I work. Friendly, warm and lovely little gem for Laceby Village. Would definitely recommend 5****** to you all

So I have just had ‘The Laceby Teapot’ do a buffet for my father’s funeral. Absolutely faultless. From the minute we began speaking I was advised what would be best in terms of ammounts etc, costings where very reasonable and the buffet was fantastic. Cannot praise these guys highly enough. HONEST people who are fantastic at their job.

Bought my husband here for the ist time today for a breakfast I have been been here many times before and it’s been good but this mornings breakfast was not it was charged at £9.95 for a large and £7.95 for a small which I found to be very expensive as we also had to purchase drinks to for what we got the items on the plate would of cost not even half of what we was charged and to be honest was taste less I’m sorry but I feel disappointed with this little cafe this time which is a shame

Visited on the 19/08 for afternoon tea. Everything was lovely. Great value. Could not fault anything. Portions were generous and sandwiches had lots of filling. Sausage roll and quiche warm. Delicious.

This has just won best tearoom award ,and deservedly so. The staff really welcoming and friendly.We ordered two coffees and decided on scones they had some interesting ones so we went for Rhubarb ,they came with generous pots of clotted cream and pots of ruhbarb conserve and was very tasty. The coffee s were large and they provided sweetners as well as suger.

I would highly recommend you visit here, we have had breakfasts, lunch and afternoon teas, all were exceptional, great price for an amazing meal, staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. Only place I will go to have a meal now.

We really enjoyed our first visit to this lovely tea rooms. Lunch was delicious and very good value. The quiche and sandwiches were brilliant and the cheesecake portions huge! We look forward to returning here when next in the area. Staff cheerful and friendly too.

Just popped in for coffee and cake. Wide range of cakes and cheesecakes in addition to a good breakfast and lunch menu. This small cafe on the corner of the village square is a mini delight

Always fab to visit this little tearoom, there’s a variety of sweet treats which I cannot resist and take some home for my family. Cannot wait to return again!!

Met up with an ex-work colleague on Wednesday afternoon, at this lovely cafe/tea rooms, to have a good catch-up. She had been several times before & had recommended that we meet here. Having booked the previous week, we were welcomed by the super friendly owner, who asked what drinks we would like to order whilst browsing the menu. We placed our drinks order & decided on the Classic Afternoon Tea for us both. The Teas were presented on a wooden board comprising a mixed choice of sandwiches, which we previously chose, warm sausage rolls & quiche with a salad garnish. Beautifully fresh & tasty they didn’t last long! We chose a fruit scone, jam & cream off a board full of a very varied selection of desserts & cakes. The scones were warm & very fresh - extremely delicious! We had extra drinks & my friend treated me to my Afternoon Tea so I can honestly say my long drive was very worth it…excellent service & fabulous, tasty fresh food. Highly recommend a visit to this lovely Tea Shop! Thank you & wish you all the best for 2023. We’ll be back….!

Every time I visit (including not booking these ladies go out of their way to make me feel very welcome) such gorgeous food here & extremely reasonable prices, you will definitely want to come back here once you have visited 💕

13-11-21, Mum & I decided to find a nice ‘friendly’ ‘welcoming’ quiet/quaint lil village cafe (that we’ve never been to before) to go into & have a nice cup of tea & a snack or two in the name of cakes & sandwiches or something like that.We was greeted with an extremely rude unwelcoming & arrogant attitude,we was made to feel like wtf are you doing in here !!! The woman working in the cafe said to us “I’m closing in half an hour what is it you wanted” (not to mention the filthy look she gave my Mother & i) to which I replied “ I just wanted to take my Mum (who is in her 70’s !!! ) to a nice cafe for a lite bite and a nice cup of tea to which she replied “well ive turned everything in the kitchen of now and as I said I’m closing in half an hour” We arrived at ‘The Little Teapot’ at 15:30,the cafe should specify on their website & on the cafe door tbqh that last orders for food is at 15:30,we were made to feel like we was an inconvenience to them ~ WOW !!! We left never to return again !!!

I popped in for some cake for the family and I can't fault the service or the taste of the food. The cakes were perfect, with a large portion and well worth the price. The staff were friendly and helpful and definitely a place I will be returning.

I went here recently on a recommendation from a garage round the corner (I’d had some car trouble). It turned out to be a blessing in disguise to discover this little gem. Everything seems to be homemade and of such good quality. I had a coronation chicken baguette. Every baguette is freshly cooked for you and the coronation chicken was an amazing blend of cream, spice & sweet fruity flavour. I really wanted to try some of their delicious looking homemade cakes but alas I was way too full.. Another time little teapot, another time…

Have been to this little place before with my cousin so knew the food would be good Met with a friend who is gluten intolerant and the Little Teapot was able to accommodate her needs easily - the staff member who served us told us she is Coeliac so understands the issues people face by food allerfy/intolerance I had Eggs Benedict - delicious Friend had gluten-free English breakfast and we stayed so long we ended up having coffees and cake...again gluten-free version available Would definitely recommend the Little Teapot, free parking outside. Book a table at busier times

Visited may times and usually service is very quick and afternoon tea is excellent. Today however my family and I waiting almost an hour before afternoon tea and a very poor selection of cakes and no cheesecake. Disappointed.

We were on holiday here and looking for a nice tea room and we popped into the little tea pot. It is amazing the staff are so friendly and kind we went once for lunch then 2 days later for afternoon tea there was a short wait for a slice of cake in our party and the lovely waitress gave us a huge piece of brownie as an apology!!! If your in Lacey definitely stop by the little teapot it’s amazing!!

Popped into this sweet little tea room today with my friend, must say it's pretty has a warm feeling quite cosy and clean.It was my first visit my friend booked our table, we looked over menu chose afternoon tea I paid the extra 50p on the afternoon tea so I could have the better sandwich ham and piccalilli.Also the afternoon tea came with salad pot of coleslaw and quiche, I don't eat quiche or coleslaw so friend had them, also got crisps aldi posh crisps, cheese and onion they was a bit of a let down barely any flavour, but there food they had made was amazing.Also we got a giant pot of tea that didn't leak isint that amazing, proper tea cups n saucers, a fairly big milk to go between the 2 of us. The cake after we chose we got the cheesecake and they give a really good sized portion I had twirl cheesecake. So my afternoon tea was around £10.50 friends was they same.The customer service in here was fantastic very polite the lady that served us. Would definitely go back I even saw the special board after so we will visit again.

10/10 for this cafe. Was staying in the Laceby Manor about 5 minutes away and found this cafe. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and very cheap! The tea in the teapot was such a beautiful touch and also had the Oreo cheesecake which is the best I’ve had! Could not recommend enough. Will definitely be back if I’m in the area again. Thank you x

This afternoon my lovely friend ordered an afternoon tea for my birthday which was delivered straight to her door. The service was impeccable. The meal itself was absolutely delicious with a huge amount of different very high quality foods far too much to be consumed in one sitting so i had the pleasure of taking some home with me.Thank you very much for making my birthday special.

Ordered an afternoon tea as a surprise for our volunteer assistant who is sticking to lockdown rules. From ordering to delivery everything was first class, the lady in question was delighted with the quality and quantity of the food. will be recommending to my family and friends and using again.

Had a lovely lunch with my dad and son.Good menu,plenty of choice.Home made soup was tasty.I had sandwiches with side salad,coleslaw and crisps.Good portions. Was full up when finished.Great selection of home made cake. Friendly service.Best to book a table.Big pot of tea. Reasonably priced.Clean and tidy.

I booked a table for 3 for my mums birthday, she has been here before and loved it. I had to change this booking to 2 people as my boyfriend was ill. This wasn’t a problem for them. They are very quick at responding to messages too (on Messenger) I was going to have a coronation chicken sandwich, but decided to have mango chicken instead as I haven’t had that flavour before. I am glad I did as it was lovely, thick pieces of chicken in mango chutney. It came served with a side salad, homemade coleslaw and crisps. (£4.75) My mum had a quiche of the day with jacket potato and the same side salad as me. (£5.95) For my drink I had a hot chocolate (£2.50) with one of the many delicious syrups (toasted marshmallow - 50p) There is a variety of homemade desserts in the counter, I went for the passion fruit cheesecake, it was lovely! The decor of the cafe is beautiful too, and the place looks tidy. I would definitely come again, especially for their upcoming Christmas afternoon tea!

Had a wonderful lunch in here today. I had 2 poached eggs on a muffin with mayonnaise and cheese on top (eggs benedict) and husband had the small breakfast. Both absolutely delicious. We live in Long Sutton Lincolnshire. Hope to return one day. Brilliant service too

The food was excellent and had a good variety of choices at a reasonable price the staff are friendly and very helpful looking forward to going back

Brilliant breakfast at an excellent price. Warm and friendly service coupled with delicious, fresh food.

Came for lunch as a couple, arrived before 2 o’clock, they immediately made it clear they were closing at 3. Waitress rude and abrupt from the outset, rushing us. Ordered at 2 o’clock, asked if we could have a portion of chips with our toasties, waitress’s reply “we don’t serve chips, and it’s a good job we don’t because we wouldn’t have time”. Whilst serving food to family next to us overheard waitress say “we’ve had to start everything back up”, making them sound a burden. Food was ok, salad past it’s best. Service let this place down.

Just been with the family and what a lovely tea room . Mum and daughter team are so friendly. You can see mum baking in the kitchen - a nice touch . Had a panini plus cakes which were really tasty . Everyone try and visit it is so nice .

I cant rate it high enough beautiful building lovely lovely staff fantastic food and drink cakes snacks hot food cold food vegan veggie you name it they serve it absoultely beautiful staff serve quickly and also always very polite and friendly. Really lovely little gem. I love laceby its beautiful and very safe people are very friendly and helpful say hello and open doors to you i love it there and i come here often as im only 15 mins by bus travel i perfere laceby to Grimsby any time less crime people are more friendly and also no begging or homeless people about very safe to walk the streets and to go into a pub or shops or little cafes day or night. Highly recommended coming lovely lovely lovely

We go here often because the quality of food and service is amazing and I absolutely love their cheesecakes. Afternoon tea is a bargain at just £9.95 and it never disappoints. This is a gorgeous little tearoom with a lovely atmosphere that is perfect for friends lunching, family get togethers or even just a quick stop off for coffee and cake :-)

Visited here loads of times and you always get prompt ,polite service with a smile and gorgeous fresh , homemade food. Love it here especially the cheesecakes !! Try it you won’t be disappointed

Had a nice lunch here recently and a fabulous slice of coffee cake. Would definitely recommend only improvement would be a little bit of gentle background music as it felt a bit soulless.

Went to pop in for a bite to eat. The place looked lovely with a nice display of cakes but the room and atmosphere was just awful. Not friendly or welcoming at all. We were told we hadn't booked and needed to wait for a table to be cleaned which would have been absolutely fine. It was the way we were spoken too and glared at. We left. I can't comment on the food but I won't be going again or booking as it was so unfriendly and unpleasant.

A group of us often pop in here for drinks and a snack after our Tuesday morning walk it is a very friendly place with good quick service .The staff are always helpful and the hot food is freshly cooked. They have some amazing cakes, would recommend it to anyone to try.

Excellent value i come here every so often its my favourite place in laceby they do lovely teas coffees hot food sandwiches snacks to. The staff are superb very intentive and love what they do. Very nice staff

Took the other half for a special offer afternoon tea for £15 for 2 on Mondays and Wednesdays. It was delicious, Sandwiches of your choice, coleslaw, quiche, crisps, salad and a slice of cake with Earl grey tea to drink. Have been to The Little Teapot before for Breakfast. Can't fault this place.

Visited for afternoon tea today. Good choice of sandwiches, which were very fresh, warm quiche, salad, homemade coleslaw and crisps. Followed by an amazing choice of cakes! Fast and friendly service. Room is clean and bright. Will visit again for breakfast.

Lovely freshly prepared food,so tasty, with generous helpings, cakes to die for ! Friendly waitress, also do takeaway food. Excellent

Visited for breakfast. Two large full English breakfasts with unlimited tea or coffee for £10 throughout May....bargain. Food & service very good. Well worth a visit.

Had heard good things so went off at half term. Very busy. While we were seated waiting for our food I could see through the hatch where staff were preparing the food. Two members of staff put food into their mouths and continued with preparation. Totally unacceptable.

Lovely little tea room in a quiet village. Staff at really friendly and ready to go that extra mile. Cakes are simply divine.

Booked quite late but didn't seem to be a problem. Quite busy but our table was ready . We had taken our 80yr old mum and We had afternoon tea. It was lovely and really filling. The attentiveness of staff is so friendly.

Booked for afternoon tea for my friends birthday. When we arrived it was very busy and very noisy but it was half term so I suppose it was to be expected . Straight away I noticed how fumey it was and all the windows were steamed up but at first it didn't really bother us. The staff greeted us with a friendly welcome and we were given a nice table. We opted for the premier afternoon tea which consisted of mixed sandwiches a cake and a scone with tea.the tea arrived in a very big tea pot which was nice followed shortly by the afternoon tea. I've seen better presentation if I'm honest the top layer was scattered with lettuce leaves which was a bit strange. There was the sandwiches, crisps and a pot of coleslaw. All the food tasted nice and the staff topped up our tea pot. The scone came after we had finished our sandwiches . This was delicious it came with jam and cream. When we had finished this the staff came around with the sweet board . I thought this was a little strange as we were expecting a choice of cake not a sweet. There was a nice selection . I have got to say at this point the fumes from the cooking/ kitchen became unbearable the staff had opened a window but it was having little effect. There was so many people in such a small space this was making it worse. We decided to take the sweets away with us. The food was good the staff were nice and it was reasonably priced ,not like any other afternoon tea I've had before , food wise, but pleasant enough. I'm not sure I would visit again because of being packed together and the fumes. There are plenty of other places for afternoon tea to choose from. If they could maybe take out a table and sort out the ventilation it would be so much nicer.

This is a small place with what seems like more chairs in it than it should have, but the food is lovely and you can get Gluten Free Food there. Cakes are amazing and the staff are very nice and welcoming. Possibly because it is in a small place and people return regularly, but is only just off the Dual Carriageway, so accessible for anyone.

Absolutely disgraceful. Booked for afternoon tea for 4. My daughter was 21 and a special treat. Turned up to be told it wasn't written down and they were closing. Ruined what should have been a special treat. Will never visit this place again. Totally unreliable

Myself and 3 friends had afternoon tea as a treat for my friends birthday , the food was lovely and fresh , we had a mixture of sandwiches , salad, coleslaw and crisps which we all enjoyed , then a huge scone with jam and cream came out and they were still warm , by the time we had eaten all that we were full but then there was cake after that as well and we all took it home as we couldn't eat it

Today I visited the little teapot woth 2 friends and my 2 year old daughter. The place was lovely, maybe one too many tables if they were all occupied. Very clean and staff came and gave us the menu quickly and got us some drinks....

Encantador, limpio y amplio, pero pensamos que 2 libras. 50 para un pastel de té era bastante caro! ! Quizás una oferta de taza y tetera tarta nos haga querer volver para una segunda visita

El personal es acogedor y el café está muy limpio, la comida está muy bien de precio y de alta calidad. Más de 3 días, fuimos dos veces, una vez para tomar café y tarta, y la otra vez para el almuerzo. Sándwiches estaban llenos de relleno, acompañados de ensalada y sábanas, patatas chaqueta, llena de relleno y con una sonrisa brillante. El café es también perros y me suministro un tazón de agua.

Llegamos sin reservación, sentado sin ningún problema para 5 personas aunque el salón de té estaba lleno. Nos dieron tiempo para decidir y menús especiales, se señalaron de la pizarras. A pesar de ser comida ocupados llegó a 20 minutos con el niño sirve primero, lo que me pareció un toque mientras todo lo demás llegó. Té de la tarde de los niños era una excelente relación calidad-precio, la porción de tarta después de que venía con él dijo que era "mall" en el menú era enorme y regresé a casa en una caja. El personal era super amable y su relación calidad-precio era buena, la tarta de mantequilla de maní no debería ser permitido Mmmmmm ¡Alójate aunque sea

Fuimos allí y disfrutamos de un almuerzo tardío, había una buena selección de sandwiches, patatas, pasteles y tortas de chaqueta. El personal era amable y los precios razonables

My mum took me here for a visit and I'm pleased she did, all the food is homemade and you can tell, the quiche was amazing and it comes with a jacket, coleslaw and salad. Very filling. Unfortunately it was that filling I didn't have room for one of the delicious looking cakes. Will be back for another visit soon!

Not much I can say really apart from I eaten and had drinks in many cafes and restaurants this is excellent cafe I've been here a few times with friend in the past the cakes are to die for absolutely lovely to be honest with you this is one of my fav cafes outside Caistor and Grimsby a perfect little gem. The staff can't do enough for you and drinks are always severed quickly. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous thank you to the staff always looking smart and always on hand to serve food and drinks. The food and drink arnt badly priced. Lovely lovely place.

Just had another lovely lunch at the Little Teapot. I can't eat gluten and they cater very well for this. The gluten free sandwiches are lovely. They have a separate toaster for gluten free toasties, and if you tell them in advance, they usually try to get gluten free crisps in too. Had my favourite for afters as well... meringue with strawberries and cream. A lovely place that I enjoy coming back to again and again.

I visited the venue with and friend and children who were over in the uk on holiday.Upon entering the tea room we found a table with no reserved sign (there were only 2 other people in the tea room at the time). Before we could sit down a member of staff came out of the kitchen and shouted across the room in a very rude tone that the table would be needed at 11.45 (we arrived at 10.45!). There was no warm welcome or taking the time to walk across and just check how long we thought we would be. We ordered drinks (including 2 white hot chocolates) and a scone. The children's hot chocolates were lovely but I am certain the white got chocolate was actually Horlicks and scone was disappointing. In other coffee shops I have been to they have made the drinks with real white chocolate and given the price I assumed would be the same here. Presentation however was lovely. Whilst we had our drinks we witnessed another couple receiving the same unfriendly welcome. There are lots of lovely tea rooms and coffee shops in our area now so customer service and customer experience is so important and I certainly won't be returning or recommending to friends and family.

Myself and 4 friends visited the Little Teapot today for afternoon lunch and we could not have asked for a warmer welcome or better service , this made our visit most pleasurable. We had babies with us aged 3 month and 13 month old and the staff were most welcoming to them too. Afternoon tea was great value at £7:95 each, just a shame I missed out on the mint matchmaker cake, oh well a reason for us to revisit . Thank you

After reading article in local paper what a lovely tea room this was decided to visit for lunch. Waited 45 mins for a bowl of soup and sandwiches and a quiche salad,on eating the salad I could smell an odd smell but it wasn't my food, thought it was something the plate had been washed in?Seeing my husband struggling to get through his soup, I said what is it? He said I couldn't tell you what it is it's awful !Ah says I on smelling it, that was the awful smell ! and it tasted odd to say the least. So we called the waitress over and asked what the soup was? Vegetable she says, no veg in it my husband says ! It tastes awful, must be the spices in it she says and marches off! No apology no offers of alternative.Consequently it was left.On paying no apology no explanation .Needless to say off the list with this place.Perhaps we were the wrong age group for this establishment!!

We visited the Little Teapot on a drizzly Saturday before our trip to Grimsby, we're very glad we did. The small tea room buzzed with people, rang with the sound of chatter and laughter. We'd booked pour table so sat and looked over the menu. We decided to all have Afternoon tea, The little Teapot even do a child's version which was perfect for our 3yo. Sandwiches, scone, cake and coffee. Perfect. The food was beautiful and very reasonably priced. Coffee, Sandwhich, salad, coleslaw, crisps, scone (with butter, clotted cream and jam) and a slice of cake for under £10. The girl, who's name I missed, who served us worked incredibly hard whilst we were there. She didn't get a chance to breathe but she still came across polite, pleasant and friendly.One thing I will say, this is not meant as any sort of negative comment, quite the opposite in fact. The Little TeaPot is not a place to go when you're in a rush, its not fast food, it's not meant to be sped through. In my opinion, going to a tea room is more about the time taken away from rushing, enjoy the sit, the time to chat, savour the atmosphere and enjoy it. We shall return to The Little Teapot, a treat as nice as this is one to be repeated.

Only popped in for a quick cuppa, ended up having some lovely cake as well! Bang goes the diet!They offer a selection of afternoon treats in a cosy establishment just right for a thirst quenching. They also have a dog bowl always available for pooches.

We visited with our small dog and we were all made to feel welcome. The orders were taken and delivered quickly and all was a good standard. A great cup of tea and a a tasty jacket potato. The staff were friendly and efficient, and nothing was too much trouble - even cooking and cutting us a sausage for the dog.We will return!

Have tried most restaurants in the area for afternoon tea and always a little disappointed but not today The Little Teapot served amazing selection of food all top quality and value for money. The service was good and we were made to feel welcome by the owner Elisha and her staff. Today we found the perfect restaurant for afternoon tea with a good menu can't wait to try the breakfast.

We took our two granddaughters to The Little Teapot and found the tea room maintains its consistency of service and quality. There's a great children's menu for breakfast, and for the four of us, prices were very fair and reasonable. I chose the small breakfast as I don't have a huge appetite and the portion size of the small breakfast was perfectly adequate. Compared to our last visit, I felt that the quality of the sausage and bacon were not quite as good, but this is a minor point.Service was prompt and polite and the food came quickly to the table, and was exactly as ordered. We'll certainly return, either for breakfast or for tea and cake.

Visited yesterday for my mums 80th birthday with 10 of her friends. Had pre booked. Food lovely and plentiful. Staff very accommodating and everyone said how nice it was. Had the afternoon tea.

Lovely home made food and cakes. Afternoon tea is lovely. Great service with friendly staff. Very reasonable prices too. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely lunch of toasted sandwiches (as no baguettes available ??) and a wonderful selection of cakes. Definitely be back for afternoon tea - only downside, perhaps too many tables squashed in!!

A lovely lunch for four today. We all had choices not necessarily from the menu but staff were really accommodating. All the food was delicious (uneaten was boxed and taken home). Desserts are to die for, the only downside is the fact it was so delicious and portions so generous we all wanted to relax afterwards because we were so wonderfully full - recommend a visit

Went to meet up with a friend here, we ordered tea and scone also toasted teacake.They came quickly and was fine,a large pot of tea enough for 2 cups and some left,scone was full of fruit teacake large and the pots of butter was slightly warm which was nice as it is so hard to spread if strait from fridge. Waitress friendly but not intrusive. Would go again.

Had a drink and a lovely big slice on Chocolate & Beetroot cake, very enjoyable. I was on my own but felt welcome and comfortable

Like most women I love a good afternoon tea. I've travelled around various places in pursuit of the 'ultimate' but this place never lets me down. Good, well filled sandwiches, gorgeous coleslaw, bottomless tea and a huge portion of cake. What's not to love?Coming here feels warm and homely, parking is good (major plus), staff friendly.My 'go to' place for a chilled out catch up with friends.

Had a lovely lunch with a friend and her granddaughter - nothing was too much trouble. My grandson had his favourite sausage bacon and beans with toast as did my friends granddaughter. The adults had a beautiful quiche which came with half jacket with cheese and lovely salad and coleslaw. The staff were friendly and helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or visit again - thanks

This is not a five star restaurant, but it is an excellent tea shop. We were looking for a snack at lunch time and drove through Laceby and came across this wonderful little place. It is squeaky clean, the owner and staff and most friendly and helpful We both had a bowl of soup and a roll, and not only was it excellent value, but it was also very good. Would certainly return.By the way, we did not sample the cakes and gateaux's on display, but my they looked good.

We regularly visit the little teapot for afternoon tea and have never been disappointed. The Sandwiches are all made fresh to order and there is a good selection to choose from. Cakes always a good variety on offer too with a selection of sponges, brownies, meringues and cheesecakes amongst others. My only issue is that it can feel a bit cramped in there. I know it's a small place and they need the seats but if the tables are full it's very difficult to meander around without other diners having to move which is a little bit awkward especially when people are eating. Cannot fault the food though and staff are always pleasant and efficient.

Went to the Little Teapot for lunch on Friday with my daughter and mother in law and have to say how lovely it was. The soup was delicious and the food all went down well. The staff were lovely and very polite and we asked for cakes to takeaway and they couldn't have been more helpful. Well done ladies not always easy working with the public but you definitely got it right. Will be back soon

Attitude of staff not good. I asked if we could sit anywhere...' No! all tables reserved'. Staff member then said ' well you should have booked' They make no effort to check if a table could become vacant within the next 15 mins.We did get a table because someone else was leaving,due to staff attitude. I ordered a pot of tea and it was dropped in front of me with no smile or apology. We where there about an hour and one of the reserved tables was still empty ????Food was ok, but we felt very unwelcome which spoilt the meal out with my friend.

My daughter, i and two friends were looking forward to lunch and a catch up today at the little Tea Pot but was really disappointed. The toilets are dirty and not very welcoming and the staff we felt had an attitude. We was squashed by the door and people couldn't get passed,( there are to many tables) and when we decided to move to a table that was becoming free the staff with blonde hair shouted its reserved, no sorry or a smile..So we decided to leave, my friend explained why we was leaving and she wasn't bothered, again no sorry. We went to once upon a time just around the corner were the staff were so nice and friendly and the food was beautiful, we will definitely go back again. Definitely not going back to the little tea pot and will tell others to go to once upon a time instead.

We booked this place for a light lunch after having a couple of good reports about it. It's located on Laceby square, parking is just in the square or round the corner in the car park behind the public house park, only 100 meters away. The place is very clean and tidy and the Staff & Service was very friendly helpful and very efficient, they couldn't have been nicer. We had a light lunch and the baked potato with chicken and bacon + mayo was excellent, and also was the meals the other 2 in the party had. There was plentiful tea for 2 cups for each of us and we were offered more if we required it. Decor was very nice and appropriate for the establishment. There were also a very nice selection of cakes. Definitely recommend.

Just been for afternoon tea at this cafe. It is a real step back in time and food was served on delicate china with a lovely large tea pot. The sandwiches were freshly made and served on a tiered stand. The cakes were all home made and delicious. Staff were very friendly and it was a very pleasant experience. It is quite popular so booking is advisable.

we go into this restaurant at least once a week for a the fantastic food which is served fresh. The staff are exlcellent and the restaurant is always clean and tidy Brian &Pauline

Visited with some older family members. Food was lovely, friendly atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Unanimously decided we will be visiting again.

always nice food been there a few times with my sisters and friends the sandwiches are fab i have told all my friends about the place.the cakes are all home made and very fresh

Nothing not to like about the teapot. Cosy and friendly environment ... Great service ... Delicious food ... Unbeatable cakes (the meringues are amazing!!) Definitely our favourite place to go for a treat!

Lovely little tearoom. Had the afternoon tea deal for £7.95pp a few times. Sandwiches and salad are fresh, lovely homemade coleslaw to start with. Next is a choice of wonderful homemade cheesecake. Always have a great variety of well made cakes and scones.Service is good too.

Lovely little tearoom. Staff friendly. Food always nice and cakes are tasty. I was a little concerned about the cleanliness especially the tables. Looked like they could do with a good cleaning and one of the drinking glasses was dirty. Overall a nice place to eat.

I went for coffee with friends but the food looked so delicious we ended up having lunch! Great portion size and really nice food. Had a cake for good measure and it was amazing! Will definitely be going back!

This establishment is getting a good reputation for good confectionery, so had to investigate. Very nice clean and friendly venue, bright and airy with good parking in the vicinity. The coffee And cakes were excellent, good friendly service. Will visit again.

We called in for breakfast on the off chance did not book but wish we has as at 11am it was steady the lovely waitress ( I believe to be the owner) found us a table and we were given the menu we ordered and was very pleased with how quickly our drinks then our food arrived piping hot. Very tasty and great value for money. Myself and my friend were full but had to take some of the cheesecake away and we were so glad we did I had milky bar and my friend had dime it was Devine thank you for our lovely food and service.

We visited yesterday as a family for my sister's birthday and I have to say from start to finish the whole experience was lovely. We all opted for afternoon tea as a special treat we choose our sandwiches and the bread was lovely and fresh and all the fillings were delightful. We all had a pot of tea and to finish of we all had cheesecake to takeaway as we were all to full. I want to thank all the staff for making us all feel so welcome. We will be back again soon.

Visited The Little Teapot for a family lunch. On opening the door we were welcomed by the smell of frying. We sat down and everything felt a little "dingy" like it needed a really good scrub. More like a caff than a tea room. We ordered drinks straight away as we could see there was only one front of house staff so expected a little wait. The menu was varied for a tea room and we made our choices. The small breakfast was good value for money and was rated good, as were the scrambly eggs on toast. My bacon and Brie panini was unfortunately ruined by the strong herbs in the panini (not advertised) and the chicken panini was over powered by barbecue sauce.We ordered 2 desserts, a scone and a toffee cheesecake but received a bounty cheesecake instead but we didn't want to bother the staff to change it, so ate it.Generally felt that staff were unapproachable, the atmosphere was unfriendly and unwelcoming and that it would benefit from a deep clean - including crockery. It was a busy little tea room and could be a real gem but has to pay some attention to customer service if it wants people to return was our opinion.

Attentive staff food well presented and tasty, went with wife and toddler toddler and made to feel very welcome.

The little teapot did a buffet of sandwiches, cake, sausage rolls, quiche and coleslaw for my Mums funeral. I cannot rate them highly enough. The food and service were spot on! They made a very traumatic day run smoothly.

A lovely, quaint little tearoom with lovely, clean decor, great food, friendly service and cakes to die for.

I purchased a cheesecake from the little tea pot for an end of the job treat and my god it was a TREAT. For the 10 guys that luckily tasted it was absolutely delicious, thoroughly enjoyed every last crumb 10 happy men and 10 out of 10. We would recommend this too everybody - the staff are friendly and always full of smiles nothing is ever too much. The little tea pot is the talk of the office - once tasted never forgotten We will be back The gentlemen from Superheat
