The Old Tea House in South Bucks

Wow, what a charming slow paced tea room. A small, well formed menu of homemade baps, sandwiches and scones. The homemade sourdough baps made using a carefully looked after 8 year old starter are miles above any sourdough we’ve ever tasted. Seating for few, but complete menu can be taken away. The lovely lady who owns the tea room was so friendly. Wish we lived closer, as we would be here every weekend! Ps, every customer who left was praising the quality of their meal on the way out 👍🏼

Such a cute little tea shop! Stopped in for a coffee this morning on our way to see the registrar. The lattes were delicious and we literally had the best flapjack we have ever tasted in our lives. A chewy caramel base with soft buttery oats on top. I’d go back just for that. The nice lady working there was also very welcoming. Thanks for brightening up our morning.

Stopped by this morning whilst waiting for my car service. I had a really great sausage bap. The homemade bread was absolutely delicious. Great coffee and served by a lovely lady who made me so welcome. Thank you! Highly recommended and will definitely stop by again.

Beautiful homemade sourdough rolls with lots of bacon. Both tea and coffee were nice and strong. Lovely friendly lady.

Stopped here with my mum for a cuppa coffee. Pretty part of the old town

The food here was good but still being served as takeaway in dsposable cups etc. Two tables with chairs at edge of pavement both being showered with bits from the lime trees overhead. Real shame nit being open for dine in. Extra for cold milk for coffee and for brown sauce not even branded sachets. Will not visit again. 01/07/2022

Despite covid restrictions being lifted.....this 'tea shop' is still not letting you through it's door! Sadly choosing to offer tea,cakes etc. outside in disposal cups,bowls,wooden/plastic cutlery! No pleasure in visiting! Not to mention more 'rubbish' for 'landfill'!! Bring back china crockery & teapots! More traditional!

Just had another homemade bacon bap from The Old Tea House in Old Beaconsfield - the best bacon baps we have ever had. Please also try the homemade flapjacks and macaroons - they are delicious. We also buy our marmalade there as it is so good. The wonder of The Old Tea House is the homemade food.Highly recommend. Enjoy.

We visited this cafe in Sept 2019 and we were very impressed so much so that when we were passing again this year we made a bee line for it. As we are motorcyclists we were looking forward to a warm cafe, hot drinks, etc but we were surprised to find that although lockdown was eased a week ago they were still only serving take away food and drink. Very disappointing

Delicious sausage and bacon baps in homemade sourdough baps, accompanied by a lovely expresso and hot chocolate! Perfect for a Saturday morning next to the farmers market. We will be back

Great to see The Old Tea House surviving during these most difficult of times...

Now offering a take away service. Delicious bacon roll.

Great food, & friendly service Love the sausage sourdough rolls - naughty but nice 👍

They truly make feel like ur going visit home to grab tea and a sandwich if I could I would have tea hear everyday the atmosphere in the tea house us so relaxing and calming and the food is spectacular as well as there baked treats and hot drinks and if u go there make sure u have a scone with clotted cream and home strawberry jam I promise u won't regret it

Excellent place for a cup of coffee and a snack

We can't speak highly enough of this venue. We purchased the salmon sandwich and orange and almond cake, which we did intend on sharing but ended up buying a second piece after the first was devoured in no time. The kind lady serving from the shop window was ever-so helpful and friendly plus the social distancing practices that were in place were superb. One of our 'staycation' highlights!

Best Scones you can have, worth the trip and visit....Deserves the 3 Michelin Stars more than Noma in Denmark o Bottura in Italy....Best Coffee,Food and Service....

Me and my daughter went here today. We had a bacon with avocado sandwich all sandwiches are served with a small salad and a few crisps on the side but it's more than enough me and my daughter shared this. We had hot chocolate which was really nice with marshmallows and cream and two scones with clotted cream the scones tasted really fresh and the jam tasted homemade. The only thing I would say that needs some attention is the I know it's called the old tea room but still could do a little bit more modernization and comfort.

The soups are delicious. Nice ambiance and service is done by very friendly staff. Warm & inviting tea/coffe shop.

Lovely cakes and great service 😁💕

Lovely friendly staff, great scones.

A delightful alternative to Beaconsfield motorway services: only a few minutes extra drive.

Just had an excellent egg and bacon breakfast muffin a nice light breakfast in pleasant old fashioned tea shop with friendly service.

Excellent ambience. Good food and service

Lovely little tea house nice snacks good value

Fantastic homemade soup, followed by the best king prawn sandwiches and salad, roast beef sandwiches with horseradish sauce and salad followed by the most wonderful homemade cakes. Our favourite place to eat in Beaconsfield.

Fresh scones and cake absolutely delicious

Still Best Coffee, Best Scones and Best Staff in the Whole Country....Worth a visit doesnt matter how far do you live...I drive the 100 miles everytime I can just to enjoy their Moka and Cheese Scones....

Great atmosphere, friendly and polite staff. Take your time and relax with tasty food and homemade cakes, mince pieces and scones. Defenetly I'll come back.

It's small, it's friendly. There is a church opposite and a red post box. What more could you need??

Horrible cafetiere of coffee. Tasted more like chicory than coffee. Very expensive as well. Do yourself a favor and find another place for your coffee.

It nice. It cute. Atmosphere nice. People nice. Coffee nice. Scone nice. Cheese nice. Crumpets real nice.

Really good place for tea, never been disappointed. I took a friend from California and she enjoyed the scones (see picture)

Popped in based on the poster in the window advertising King Prawn and Smoked Salmon sandwich. Sounded good.What i was served was the tiniest meagre rations i have ever had for lunch, at this rate i will starve to death by this evening.All this(!) for £7.95.I ate next door at the Prelibato yesterday and spent less for much more and hot food to boot.Woefully overpriced for what it is.Sorry, wont be back.

Personal favourite of mine. Good service food and atmosphere. If you come to Beaconsfield try breakfast or lunch here you won't be disappointed.

Visit beaconsfield stopped at the tea hse wow wat lovely friendly people who own , work there had a great BLT & fruit scones really r 👌🏻 Wud recommend , ps im a foodie .

SHOCKING! Cheap nasty cafe with terrible service, HUGELY over priced basic menu (nothing special) disgusting attitude from young girl who could only communicate in a Neanderthal / grunting / ah-huh "whatever" attitude. Plastic table covers, laminated menus, most tables small and huddled around beams. We were told to sit anywhere but space was limited and the decent sized table reserved "just in case". £6 for a basic bacon sarni. Go to the Green Grocer in old Amersham (I confirm I am not linked to any catering business) where you get deli style food for less with outstanding service and modern not 70s decor. By the way why not call yourself a tea BAG room, dozens of choices of tea bags but only one green, one (cheap but over priced Earl Grey) and Yorkshire tea? REALLY!?!? If you want loose leaf afternoon tea also consider the Lady Grey tea room in Wendover and visit the antiques centre whilst there. WE WALKED OUT IN DISGUST

Came to the tea house and had a light lunch. Nice service and good food. Came back later with my girlfriend's uncle, who is from Beaconsfield, and had more tea and a scone. Her uncle spoke with the owner about growing up in Beaconsfield. Owner was also from Beaconsfield. Again, the service and the scone, cookie, teas and hot chocolate were excellent. A nice place to relax.

A nice looking place let down by poor, verging on rude, customer service and an over priced menu. I love a nice cafe and felt very let down by this one....it promised a lot and delivered little.....shame....

After parking nearby we stumbled across the tea room whilst hunting for a spot of light lunch. Most places in the area offer a full cooked meal so this was perfect.The entire place seemed well looked after being clean and tidy whilst rather quaint, the proper tea room style We received a friendly greeting and were served fairly promptly, ordering a child's ham sandwich, the roast beef and a scone with clotted cream and jam.When the food arrived it was all presented nicely with sufficient portions for all. Everything was tasty and left us all satisfied.Although not cheap it was decent value for money considering the location, we'd gladly visit again.

A lovely cosy and inviting tea room. Very friendly service. We just wanted a quick lunch and decided on soup which was home made and very tasty. Then had to indulge with the scones, jam and cream which were excellent, as was the coffee. Altogether a nice relaxing meal in pleasant and friendly surroundings. We'll be back!

We took refuge from the rain and dropped by this cosy little tea room for tea.

Quite claustrophobic as a small cramped tea shop. Over priced but would be attractive to tourists. Toilets are right next to a table so avoid that table

Quick lunch with my dad and don’t normally write any reviews. But this little place does a lovely BLT! Fresh bread, no fat on my bacon! Tasty with a side salad and crisps. A little pricey though! Flat white was nice too, would definitely recommend

Popped in while passing through, looking for something quick and simple. We had a jacket potato and a chicken/bacon/avocado sandwich. They were perfectly fine, though a little on the expensive side. A few quirky bits to the service. We had two soft drinks. One came with an enormous glass, ice, lemon. The other came with what I can only describe as the smallest glass I have ever seen and nothing else (presumably because they wouldn't fit!). I got over 6 glasses out of a single can...

My Wife and I visited some two weeks ago on a Saturday lunchtime. It was apparent that as soon as we walked through the door the Tea Room was dis-organized and very busy. Young waiting staff who did not appear to have much of an idea of how to take the orders correctly and in order. The owner/Manager was in residence and was not doing a good enough job at sorting out what orders were next and in what sequence. We ordered a toasted sandwich, jacket spud, tea & coffee. We waited 28 minutes for this order to be served and it finally appeared long after other customers who entered the tea room had received their orders Although the waitress apologised for the delay and knew we were unhappy at the way our order had been dealt with the Owner/ Manager did not offer and apology and never came near us to listen to our compliant. We finished our food and drink and approached the owner to discuss the bill and our unhappiness, to her credit she said " have this one on me" but we said we would be prepared to pay a contribution. We were not nasty in any way shape or form, just considered and calm. The owner then took a very robust turn for the worst by saying "get out and don't come back" That is something we were not prepared for and shocked at this course of action. I notice other people seemed to have had a problem with this owner when looking at other reviews people have posted. It is such a shame as we have visited this tea room many times before over the years and not had a problem, but it now seems we will not be setting foot in this tea room ever again. I think the owner needs to learn some manners and what the value of "good customer. service" means. I work in customer service and fully know and understand the importance and value of it. So I hope those of you who decide to venture across the threshold have a better experience and you catch the owner on a good day when they value what business they have.

Lovely old style tea shop. Good coffee and tea. Pancakes were delicious, if a little naughty!

Lovely place ... enjoyed a very pleasant couple of drinks and a very tasty piece of cake. The staff were extremely attentive, the 'grown-ups' hot chocolate was delicious and the overall ambience was delightful. We shall be back!

Popped in for a quick cuppa mid-morning while visiting Beaconsfield. Delightful little place, service good and quick, server friendly and accommodating. Reasonably priced. Cakes looked delicious! It's warm and cosy inside. Toilet is clean and convenient. Would recommend.

Lot of potential but a let down. Ordered eggs and bacon and 2 plates of pancakes. That was £32 with tea. That's steep for breakfast. Wanted to share a pot of tea but was told its priced for 1. Ok, fair. Our 4 yo wanted a sip of tea but I had a cold so asked for a fresh cup. Was told I will have to order separate drink for her. Husband wanted a smashed avocado but was told its £2 extra for half an avocado. All in all it was disappointing!!

Slow service. Not very generous portions considering the price. Shame as the potential is greater. They were turning away customers through lack of space, so should speed up and get more people through the doors. Maybe the increased volume of sales would then mean they could spare more than half a teaspoon of chutney on each jacket potato. Also, why only fried eggs? I asked if scrambled might be possible and got a flat "no" from the unsmiling teenage waiting staff.

Nice place for a tea and slice of cake

Stayed in Beaconsfield overnight and fancied some breakfast. Decided to try the Old Tea House bad bad decision.

Just had breakfast here & really disappointing! Ordered toast. Was asked if I wanted white or brown. I said brown & I got white. Why ask then? Toast was cold & butter was hard as rock. Coffee absolutely terrible! Won’t be back again!

Though the food was excellent and well-cooked, to wait 55 minutes for a club sandwich, and a roast beef sandwich was absurd. The management did not even have the courtesy to inform us there would be a wait. This has resulted in a ruined evening and total upset. We shall not be returning. Some people are on the autistic spectrum and need care. You clearly showed absolutely none. Shame on you.

Visited the old tea rooms recently, the service was slow and poor, manager was rude when I wasn't satisfied with the food produced as it was completely overpriced for what it was and the coffee and food is not fresh. There is much nicer places to go in Beaconsfield.

Simply fantastic ❤ Me and my love, we've been having breakfast 👌🏻😉😁 we love this place

Really slow service; staff not very friendly and over priced for what you get Only saving grace is location but then again anything in Beconsfield will be a nice location

£9.60 for an egg sandwich and a (very) small americano coffee. And the egg sandwich came with salad. Maybe that's just me but why would you want salad for breakfast? The owners just think Beaconsfield people deserve over-charging.

We popped in today for lunch having not visited for several years. Our sandwiches took over 15 mins- I had checked time when we arrived. The only orders ahead of us seemed to be 2 takeaway sandwiches and a pot of tea. After the wait I had great expectations - sadly not translated into reality. The sandwiches were not impressive ad the 5 crisps (counted as they looked so lonely) and very limp side salad did little to enhance them, not worth the fairly high sandwich price. The table next to us needed clearing when we arrived and was in the same state when we left 40 minutes later by which time two more needed clearing. The owner/manager did very little so no surprise the wait staff followed her lead. I suggest going to the small place on the roundabout where we went yesterday and had great sandwiches at a lower price.

Staff can be quite rude, overpriced for a coffee shop. Very small inside and feels cramped. Toilet is in coffee shop next to a table and should be relocated

Everytime i go with friends or girlfriend or alone everything is perfect...Mocha the best in UK...homemade Savoury Scones made in heaven...This place is 100 out of 10...

I go here a couple of times a week for a takeaway lunch sandwich.

very nice food and friendly people but a bit over priced

I finally went here. Nice enough inside and what you'd expect from a tea shop. Fruit scone was odd though. Warm so everything I put on it melted (not for me) and just not very tasty. Diassapointing.

I went there with four other people yesterday to have a quick coffee before going to the Coroners Court nearby. As we walked in it was almost an invasion of a private drinking club and we got the feeling the locals didn't like outsiders in there. We were given a table by the waitress and at the time there was a "Reserved" sign on it. A couple of minutes later we were asked to move by a grumpy old dear who I suspect was the manager. We were moved to a crappy old table with folding leaves and a plastic tablecloth. I was very embarrassed at the way she spoke to the waitress in front of us and I am sure the waitress was uncomfortable and felt humiliated.

After the M25 experience, we needed a lunch break and this was the place we chose. We parked easily in a space in the road and walked back to this coffee shop as most of the others we passed seemed to be serving Italian food, which wasn't our choice on the day. We ordered bacon eggs and toast and it came freshly cooked and hot, Very nice if a bit pricey. Would visit again if we were in the area, 110 miles from home!

Fairly expensive, but kind staff and good quality food and drink

Lovely quaint tea shop, very friendly staff and the most delicious scones I think I've ever tasted. Would highly recommend.

Ordered coffee & cake as you do in a pretty idyllic tea room.

Popped in yesterday for sandwich. Average at best, however the manager/owner clearly doesn’t care anymore. It looks like she’s given up. Zero ambience and very unwelcoming in the whole. She barely raised a grunt when I ordered and seemed to treat customers with very little...

This first visit was for a take away coffee and sandwich. Quick friendly service, sandwich made fresh to order was really tasty and excellent value for money. During my short wait saw in-house lunches being served which all looked very nice but eyes mostly fixed...

Small Tea House and good service

Waitresses in black with fresh white pinnies served a beautiful freshly prepared tea. Sandwiches oozed fillings. Light scones and mouthwatering lemon drizzle and fresh cream sponges completed the experience. Not cheap but memorable.

Great service great value and great home made soup, what’s not to like, consistently good with a selection of cakes hard to match. Eat in or take out...

I like the food, their BLT is very good however, they are very expensive and I don't rate their tea which btw is a tiny serving.

This was a lunch time visit for a quick bite to eat and we were ripped off!! This is a tea-room offering everything you expect from a tea-room including sandwiches, cakes, scones and a few hot meals with Michelin star prices (without the quality or...

Very pleasant cafe.....ginger scones with hunny are out of this world! Not cheap but a lovely venue. Staff very pleasant.

£7.75 for three tiny pancakes that were completely tasteless. Too 30 minutes for the coffee to arrive and 40 minutes...

This a special place. Clearly a local favourite. The homemade scones are to some of the best. The meat pie was incredible. Friendly staff.

We been to this place about 10 times and they have the best Moka I’ve had in my life and...

Very good service and the breakfast was delicious. Very welcome on a cold morning.

I'm afraid there is little good to say about our visit other than it was clean and sort of quaint....

Lovely place, very quaint, with lots of history. Has the best homemade scones with homemade jam!

We called in for an early breakfast and were most definitely not disappointed. There was a good range of options...

The BBC (Brie, Bacon and Cranberry) sandwich was light and a great lunchtime meal. The Lattes are also great. Scones...

Fantastic bacon and avocado sandwich!!

A delightful tea house in a beautiful, accessible setting, friendly, attentive, helpful staff offering a warm reception to all and...

Nice little tea room, old and quaint inside with original features very over priced though! sorry! Food was nice but the cost was ridiculous (£8 for 2 bacon, 2 egg and 1 slice of toast! Not much else to say, sorry! :(

My wife and I had lunch at 'The Old Tea House' and whilst the food was fresh it was just...

We had lunch at The Old Tea house while visiting Beaconsfield with family. We received a warm welcome on arrival, and received friendly and professional service. There is a good menu with the some specials too. Nice hot pots of tea with a jug of hot water for top ups. I had a BLT sandwich which came with crisps and a side salad. All nicely presented food. Would recommend and hope to return.

Had a couple of breakfasts with friends in this place. No 'greasy spoon' job here but well cooked, well presented hot food. Egg & bacon cooked just right.

Visited on Saturday morning. Food was fine but the service was surly and extremely slow. Would not visit again.

Lovely place for a good old fashioned afternoon tea. Very friendly service and great scones and cake.

They very kindly served us even though they were about to close. Lovely tea, great cookies, cosy setting and friendly service. Only drawback was that I utterly failed to manage the folding door in the loo.

This was the only café we could find in the town.

Very good place for a group for tea. We had seven...

I visited this cafe with two other people on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered food which was delayed by 15 minutes. I enquired about this to the waitress who was so unbelievably rude, she walked off and refused to serve me. I then get my food which was not only late but incorrect that I had to wait a further 10 minutes. I eventually received my order without an apology or acknowledgement of their poor service. Do not waste your money !!!

I absolutely love this place. I come with my son every Saturday. The food is wonderful here. It's the only tea house I know of and will be coming here weekly for the foreseeable future.

Old fashioned, cosy English interior; small but clean and bright. Friendly, attentive, quick service. The ginger scones with clotted cream and honey were delicious.
