The Tea Cosy in West Lindsey

Popped in for a light lunch as we were visiting our bro in law. What a find! The place was quite busy but the service very cheerful, every plate beautifully presented and the food all delicious. Yummy looking cakes were tempting. Excellent value.

What a little gem of a place. Wonderful friendly staff, excellent freshly made food and a great choice too. Afternoon tea was delicious, excellent selection. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely tea room x

My son and I only had about half an hour for lunch before I had to catch a train, so I checked with the waitress and she said that would be fine - and she kept her word! We sat outside and I had a jacket potato and my son a panini, both delicious and served with a fresh salad garnish. The portions were really generous, I gave my son a bit of my tuna!! We would have liked to stay for cake but hadn't time, so the very kind waitress said she would pack us up our choice of cake so we could just chill and take it with us. My carrot cake was humungous!! But so well packed in a box complete with fork and napkin. My son's almond slice was in a paper bag and easy for him to take in the car. The prices were reasonable and the staff so very kind and welcoming, we would highly recommend the Tea Cosy.

Having seen good reviews my friend and I visited yesterday and we were not disappointed. It is a lovely tea room. Great food friendly staff what more could you ask for. Will definitely be visiting again.

A lovely little tea room always made to feel very welcome. The food is always good and the cakes are homemade and always delicious.

Walked into this cafe on a Tuesday afternoon only to be greeted at the door by a rude lady who informed us they shut at 3pm, the time was 2.45! But it was made very clear we were not welcome. Don’t worry we took our business across the road to ‘The Hub’ for a warm welcome, great coffee and cake. What a difference obviously they want to succeed and appreciate the business!

We celebrate a70th birthday here. It was amazing, they went all out. Made beautiful glutton free cakes just to accommodate our different intolerance. The afternoon tea was the best I've ever had. Beautiful cakes, lovely sandwiches, all hand made. All serviced on lovely china cake trays with bone china tea service. I would highly recommend if your looking for a great afternoon tea experience, this is the place to be.

Visited this cafe with 2 friends and their little ones. Cake & hot chocolate were nice and staff friendly & happy to accommodate our children in the small space! My only struggle was the glass table top. With a baby who loves to bang anything she can grab hold of on a surface it was slightly ear splitting. Sounds silly but as a parent I’m always conscious of my children making too much noise and disturbing others. The menu looked delicious so maybe I will return without the children 😉💖

Food was excellent, coffee was hot and strong and the price was right. Delightful waitress and sitting outside topped it of nicely.

Very nice little cafe. it was clearly well used by locals but still welcoming to visitors. Tasty afternoon tea. Good value. Helpful staff.

Took my mum and friend for afternoon tea for their birthdays. They had put banners up for them and the afternoon tea was lovely. Very filling and gorgeous home made cakes. Fantastic value for money and nothing was too much trouble. Staff are so friendly as well. Definitely worth a visit

Today was our second time visiting and the experience was as delightful as our first. The staff are so welcoming and the food is delicious and well presented. Today we tried the homemade Rocky Road cake and it was incredible. We highly recommend The Tea Cosy and are looking forward to our next visit already

Chose this to meet friends but had al0ot o00f "reserved" tables and possibly too many tables for the place making it uncomfortable to stay long

Enjoyed a very nice lunch in newly opened Tea Cosy. Happy friendly staff and excellent panini. Will definitely visit again to sample the home made cakes on offer which we were too full to try!

A very warm and friendly welcome, followed by very pleasant waitress, who took my order, and then very quickly served me with an excellent cappuccino, and shortly after my sandwich. A very pleasant visit, and I will definitely be returning to try some of their lovely home made soup

My friend and I visited the recently reopened cafe this morning after a lovely walk around the village in the sunshine. The cafe has been decorated and feels fresh and new. The cream tea consisting of a homebaked fruit scone, clotted cream and jam accompanied by a large pot of tea was excellent. Good luck to the new owners.

Was welcomed warmly and was served with a delicious breakfast. The presentation was beautiful and the interior so pretty.

Visited the tea cosy on the 1st day after reopening with new owners Debbie & Del. Lovely lunch with friends. The cakes were amazing. Shall certainly be visiting again.

Very friendly service, big choice of sandwiches, soups, paninis, jacket potatoes and cakes. Also available are breakfast items and afternoon tea. Vintage china and nice atmosphere. Met a friend and enjoyed a leisurely chat over lunch. Haven't been for a while but hopefully will return sooner.

Small, friendly place with good atmosphere. Enjoyed baked potatoes served on china plate with lovely vintage teacups. Will go again.

Egg and bacon muffin. Really lovely. Sat outside in the morning sun. Friendly helpful staff. Can recommend.

booking tea and the venue getting it just spot on ... we arrived and the girls had the table for 6 laid out beautifully, eclectic vintage china, when the tea tiered plates arrived the sandwiches were fresh and the scones with lemon curd and clotted cream delicious. All too full to manage our cakes they were packed up for us to take home. A lovely experience ... thank you

Llevé a mi hermana pequeña aquí para una delicia después de estar en el gimnasio.

We visited this delightful tea room whilst on holiday this week. It is just wonderful, the food is delicious, the staff are so friendly and helpful and it was a genuinely loving experience all round.

A quaint little Tea shop in the heart of the village. We visited on an extremely busy carnival day and found the food to be of excellent standard, staff very helpful and always happy and the menu reasonable for the area. Will most certainly recommend.

Lovely lovely staff. Great coffee. Wonderful lemon scones. A little community hub and gem of a place....Karis x

Fue alrededor de las 11 de la mañana cuando decidimos entrad en el té acogedor mientras estábamos fuera de compras. Sólo un té y un bollo que habíamos planeado, pero ver el cartel fuera ofrece un desayuno inglés completo, que optamos por eso. Nos preguntaron si queríamos ir a grande, pero no nos preguntamos cómo nos gustaría que los huevos fritos, escalfados o, revueltos, líquidos o difíciles, etc., pero no establecen que quería mi tocino fresco (cualquier suave y sobresale entre los dientes). Nos preguntaron si queríamos pan blanco tostado o marrón. Una amplia taza de té era llevado a la mesa, mucho para nosotros dos. Cuando el fritos llegamos, nos quedamos boquiabiertos. Una porción de judías, una pequeña salchicha y un huevo frito acompañado de una pequeña rasher el tocino. Tanto lonchas de bacon eran del mismo color, ambos aparentemente preparado al mismo nivel, aunque mi esposa no hubiese querido, fresco. Mi esposa era incapaz de comer, así que tenía los dos lonchas. Fresco, que no fueron, pero como el cuero de los zapatos, horrible. He tenido un montón de desayuno inglés completo, que siempre parecía incluyen tomate, setas, croquetas de patata, morcilla y frito pan además los huevos, tocino, salchichas y frijoles. Esta fue una mala relación. Aunque no pudimos encontrar el precio en el menú, debe haber sido alrededor de 5 libras, pero debe haber costado menos de £1 para producir. Mala relación calidad-precio.

Great little cafe which has excellent food, friendly staff and serves as a lovely meeting place for folks of all ages especially our elderly relative who loves the place

Mi hija y yo metimos en para una taza de la semana pasada. El café es pequeño y acogedor, el personal es amable y parecen disfrutar de su trabajo e interactuar con los clientes hay alrededor de 7 mesas. Tomamos té, servido en un bonito juego de té y una taza y plato y un café. Su filtro de café, lo cual está bien, pero no como los cafés recién ahora sirve baja que como los de la costa y un Starbucks. Yo tenía un brownie sin gluten que fue calentado y a empalagoso y delicioso. Mi hija tenía que yo sabía tarta de palomitas y fue un poco diferente y muy agradable. El azúcar es en las mesas y me encanta el bonito y el encaje de los bolos. El menú parece agradable costumbre patatas chaqueta y sándwiches y desayunos y hay un tablón de ofertas especiales. Cierran a las 4:00 pm. Agradable para un taza de té.

Hemos estado en este pequeño y precioso salón de té bastante mucho y siempre tienen un fabuloso servicio y excelente comida. Lo recomiendo altamente.

Good location , outside tables in appropriate weather conditions, nice seating inside.Excellent, prompt service from friendly local staff.All day breakfast always popular and nutritious, good range of teas, coffees etc.

I've never had bad food or service at the Tea Cosy. Cakes are home made and just delicious, the lovely little tea shop.

This is a lovely little cafe in a lovely location just off the village green. Excellent drinks and scones, and a nice menu for lunches. Very friendly and well worth a visit.

Good selection of breakfast and lunch dishes.Some hot dishes too - soup/quiche /baked potato. Lots of cakes, scones and tray bakes. Small place and can get busy.

We visited "The Tea Cosy" for a quick lunch today my wife had homemade Red pepper and Wensleydale soup with a brown roll, my father in law had Tuna and mayonnaise sandwiches which came with a side salad and crisps with an orange juice to drink in a good size glass. I had a bowl of homemade carrot and coriander soup with a brown roll with a pot of English breakfast tea. There was enough tea for 2 1/2 cups in a lovely China cup and saucer. Although the cafe was extremely busy they did find space for us. All the members of staff were friendly and courteous and food was served with no delay. I would recommend you visit when in Nettleham or the surrounding villages.

Good for breakfast , good for light lunch,absolutely brilliant for homemade cakes and tea. Tables are often at a premium booking is recommended. If your mum bakes superb cakes then this is the place to take her for afternoon tea. She won't be disappointed.

Went with my daughter for a cup of tea and a cake and was pleasantly surprised, it had only been open for six weeks so very new . Very welcoming and the scone with fresh cream was delicious! Was pleased to see plenty of the locals using it

Visited with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. Although a Saturday lunchtime visit, we had asked for afternoon tea. We were quite a large party (in number, that is, although after delicious cakes, rather larger in size too!!) and we arrived to find our tables reserved and nicely set. Tea and coffee were plentiful, with regular top ups and we were given cake stands laden with delicious treats. We had a good variety of sandwiches, including egg mayonnaise, cheese and pickle, tuna and cream cheese and cucumber. All were generously filled and seemed to disappear rather quickly! Next came warm, fluffy scones with jam and cream, they were delicious. Mel served a number of scrumptious, home made cakes. My favourite was the coffee and walnut, although they all looked extremely tempting. There was Victoria sponge, Bakewell tart and several other tasty looking cakes. All portion sizes were good, not the usual, one mouthful you often get with afternoon tea. All staff were friendly and service was excellent. We stopped to ask directions and the couple had just been in to The Tea Cosy and told us they had just had the best English breakfast. The cafe closes at 2pm on a Saturday, and around 1.55 three people came in, instead of being turned away, they were quite happily served tea and scones. I would highly recommend a visit and I will be going back again soon.

Best avoided if you are on diet! otherwise lovely homemade cakes and scones.Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the only downside is it is small and can be quite busy, maybe in the summer they have tables outside?Good value and recommended.

Visited for the first time , will not be returning, asked for a egg mayo sandwich on brown presented well on plate, sadly the filling was all egg white not as described their should be yolk in their as well , sent it back, when we went to pay the woman behind the counter asked if everything was ok , I said you know it's not as I returned the sandwich, she was totally not interested, no apology no offer to remove it from the bill made to feel very unwelcome, if she had just removed the sandwich from the bill, as the scone was lovely, I would not be complaining on trip advisor

Very friendly and welcoming staff. They offer two cooked English breakfasts, but take the special. It has two of everything, including toast and a hot drink for under £7.00. Many home-made snacks and seasonal specials, recommended.

Fortunately for me this little gem is right on my doorstep! I took my aunt and uncle here when they came to visit. It was Lincolnshire day and it was pleasing to see lots of local speciality food on offer. Lovely home baked scones and cakes and delicious too! The prices are reasonable and represent good value for money. My only criticism is that it is very tiny and when busy can feel a little bit cramped. Book is essential!

Local for me . Perfect cafe lovely range of food and cakes are fantastic lemon curd scones a must . Polite staff and great value for money .

I visited today with a friend after looking for somewhere different for a change. Nettleham is the most beautiful village with a beck and ducklings, a real picture postcard village, therefore I felt it would be somewhere nice to take my friend. I was not wrong the tea cosy was very hospitable the staff were fantastic. I had a prawn jacket and my friend a tuna sandwich they were served quickly and were reasonably priced and well presented. A lovely lunch , I shall definitely be returning, I would recommend booking however as understandably it gets very busy

Lovely, well priced afternoon tea. We ordered the sandwiches in advance and just had to choose cakes on arrival. Lovely, tasty home made cake. Coffee nice.

Visited The Tea Cosy with my mum. We were able to reserve a table, as we know it is a busy little place. We both enjoyed a panini, followed by a scone. Both were absolutely lovely and we throughly enjoyed our visit. I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone wanting service with a smile and reasonably priced food. Thank you to the team at The Tea Cosy!!

i have visited twice once in sept once oct. It has a gods waiting room vibe. I guess as it's the only tea shop in the village they don't need to try too hard On the first occasion I had Victoria sponge on the second coffee & walnut cake both were rather stake in my option. A decent pot of tea and efficient service though.

The staff and atmosphere were very good, however the soup was £3;50 with bread. I saw the bread being taken out of a package which was priced at 6 rolls for £1, it was nothing special, the soup was ok. The coffee and walnut cake had a weird fishy taste, I had one mouthful and could not eat the rest, my friend tried it and said she didn't like it either, her lemon cake did taste nice. I was not charged for the cake, the waitress did apologise and say she didn't make that cake, other reviews are all good so maybe this was an off day?

Fab tea shop in a pretty little village near Lincoln. Great food at very reasonable prices. Lots of homemade cakes and treats. A real community feel where the staff are very friendly and are on first name terms with most of the customers. When it's sunny you can sit outside which is really lovely. A gem of a place!

Popped in for a coffee and ended up having a full English. I would recommend this place to all. The breakfast is great value for money and taste fantastic. The staff are very friendly too. Lovely cafe in a lovely village.

This week I visited The Tea Cosy Nettleham with my mum and daughter, we were not disappointed. When we got there, it was almost closing time but we were welcomed and not hassled. The cakes on offer were scrumptious and excellent value. I had a scone with cream, my mum the bakewell slice and my daughter the chocolate cake, which was generously filled with delicious chocolate buttercream. The service was excellent, with a smile, the staff extremely friendly and the cafe spotlessly clean. This was a little gem of a cafe and will certainly visit again.

Called in here this afternoon while in Nettleham with my daughter and granddaughter. It was getting near to closing time for the cafe but we were assured that it was no problem for them to serve us. Service was excellent..the home made cakes delicious..we were made to feel so welcome. Will certainly recommend The Tea Cosy, without hestitation. Thank you to the 2 ladies there..hope to visit you again.

The tea cosy is set on the green right in the centre of this lovely village. The staff are friendly and helpful. The cakes are all home made and the tea and coffee come in wonderful bone china.

If you want a very reasonably priced snack and a decent coffee then this is the place for you. I have had quiche which was delicious and a jacket which I liked less but that's just preference. Home made soup and cakes look wonderful.Rather cramped inside if its busy but seats outside for nice daysService reasonable and things take time when freshly madeDo pop in as you'll enjoy it...it seems the locals really do

The Tea Cosy is in the pretty village of Nettleham just outside Lincoln. Great for jackets, soup and sandwiches or just coffee and a cake. Warm and friendly

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Food homemade, excellent value. Lovely village to wander around afterwards. Quaint old fashioned cafe.

I ate here with a group of friends and we really enjoyed .we will definetily recomand this place. we all liked

A very gently staff served us in a very elegant service of tea a exotic smelling tea with very rich seasoned sandwich at very reasonable price!

Wonderful quaint village location, very friendly staff and lovely food. We had a full english breakfast served with a smile and tasted wonderful. We recommend the mars bar cake...which we had after our breakfast! :)

not sure if I have the right place but if it is the one I am thinking of this cafe if you go and sit upstairs has a unique feature. through the windows you can see the canal part of which travels right under the cafe. The food is good holesome lincolnshire fare at a very reasonable price catering for all members of the family. The Hairy Bikers once visited it so it must be good.

Quaint in the heart of the village. Portions only average!
