The Tea House in the Woods in East Lindsey

Went a couple of times for a pot of tea for tea. Very good value at £4 for the pot, four of five cups out of it. Pleasant surroundings and polite and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Visited Tea House in the Woods for a Lovely cuppa coffee and great cake with friendly service. All safe and clean.

An excellent lunch at this restaurant. Named “tea house” but offers so much more. We had the blade of beef and liver and onions , lots of veg, all piping hot. Efficient and friendly staff. Could not have been bettered in a 5star establishment

We were here on holiday and wanted somewhere cute for afternoon tea, we were not disappointed. Lovely friendly staff and very polite. The food was amazing and very well priced. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Food is faultless. Staff were very polite and friendly and the location is beautiful! First visit, definitely not the last!

Lovely tea, sandwiches and chips. Very well organised, quick and efficient service, cracking sandwiches. Chips were tasty and cooked to perfection. And the tea.... absolutely the best.

We had Afternoon Tea here 3.6.21. Lovely setting. Excellent service and the food was delicious. All homemade. And such good value. £13.75 for a choice of teas, a choice of sandwiches, large scone with cream and jam, lemon posset and a large slice of cake, again with a variety to choose from. Plus a chocolate mint on departure. Very pleased with all aspects. Would recommend.

Another visit to this place, the tea house was very clean, the staff were lovely and polite, food very good as usual and can't wait to return

A lovely place to pop in to for a light lunch or even a special occasion. A very nice menu of local produce to choose from. My only gripe is that things can be a little over priced

I'm so glad this place is back open! Me and my wife had the most amazing meal, steak and chips, and it was perfect. Fairly price, beautiful surrounding and amazing, friendly staff.

We went to The Teahouse in the Woods for afternoon tea today. My daughter in law, granddaughter, Hubby and myself. It was very covid safe, social distancing ,masks, table distancing etc. You had a choice of sandwich, good fillings, scone, jam and cream, lemon possit, choice of cake and drinks. Good size portions and very tasty. The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. A very enjoyable time and it was lovely to be eating inside again. They get booked up so if you are thinking of going, book in plenty of time.

This was our first visit today, car parking is a bit haphazard, park where you can along the muddy verge.Plenty outside seating however we sat inside, didn’t have to prebook. Spacious interior, speedy service. Great for afternoon teas and cream teas but they also have a good menu which includes hot meals. We paid £6.50 each for a cream tea. Quality good size, rustic scone (choice of plain or fruited). Very nice, couldn’t fault it. Will definitely return, I can imagine this place can get busy due to its scenic woodland setting.

We love the location, surrounded by trees. Only called for coffee (which wasn't very good). Food looked very nice, service was good and has nice outside seating area.

We called in after we’d been swimming at jubilee and were greeted by lovely friendly staff. We ordered our drinks and despite one of our group ordering the wrong coffee the waitress soon swapped it without any issues. Food orders taken and food delivered quickly again very efficient and friendly staff lovely food and great covid regulations to keep all safe. In a lovely environment

We were meeting family for the day after a separation of 7 months and were delighted to find a table for us all. Servce was excellent, as were the menu choices, presentation and quality. A beautiful wooded setting makes the place so special - reminds me of eating out in Germany. Lovely to see other people enjoy the sunshine and food as much as we did.

Had great COVID protocols and a much more extensive menu than I'd expected. Super friendly service and very tasty cream tea.

Lunch here today service and food excellent,all social distancing in place , would recommend to anyone

Great Hot chocolate!! Just the thing after a walk around the beautiful surroundings in Woodhall Spa! Lovely cheerful staff too!

Fantastic take away meal. Superb meal served direct to the car with great Covid Care. Generous portions, well presented and very hot. Fully recommended either take away or in house when guidance allows.

We have just had a splendid Sunday lunch from the Tea house in the Woods team delivered to our boot for home consumption. My wife says that the sign of a good roast meal is the quality of the gravy! Today this was exceptional both for her roast beef and my roast lamb . In spite of Covid Natalie, Steve and team have been very resourceful and continued to provide excellent food. Well done and as always “WE WILL BE BACK” . Steve and Pat Parry

Once again had a great meal especially before the lock down. The staff as usual were great and the covid arrangements for cleaning excellent. Such a shame we cant go back until December.

On a recent stay in the area, we visited the Tea House in the Woods twice. Both times we had to sit outside as we had our dog with us, but I understand that this is only because of the current restrictions. On both occasions, we found the staff to be so polite and friendly, qualities that are not as common as they should be nowadays. We felt like nothing was too much trouble, shown inside to the toilets, sorted out with water for the dog, even explaining how we paid on ordering was all done with the utmost respect. Thank you.

We have visited The Tea in the Woods a number of times and can’t fault anything from the service to the food.

My husband and I share the club sandwich as a very early lunch outside the tea house. The chips were so good and the staff were the loveliest we've had amywhere in a long time.

We sat outside for lunch as dogs are no longer allowed inside due to Covid restrictions The meal stayed hot and we really enjoyed it we will return

It was lovely to see measures in place but implemented in a friendly and helpful manner rather than overbearing which we have experienced on other parts of our visit to Lincolnshire. We had a simple light lunch and scone but it was well presented and very tasty with attention to detail such as the warm scone. It makes all the difference. There were plenty of staff, with the person escorting us to the table, helping to reassure us they were taking the measures seriously. They were friendly and attentive without being overbearing or condescending. It is a very fine balance which the Tea House exceeded expectations, with flying colours.We will definitely be returning when we are back in Lincolnshire again.

A super tea room . Staff go above and beyond to ensure all customers are safe in the tea room. Every safety measure carried out to the highest standards. All staff wearing P.P.E. You are guided through to your table wearing a face mask after sanitising your hands by a friendly member of staff .We opted for the delicious afternoon tea, which arrived very quickly. Scones were still warm and tasted delicious, staff attentive, asking if we needed our drinks replenishing or anything else.Will definitely be returning.

Had a very nice late lunch .husband had liver and bacon I had ham and eggs very nice .had to book to eat inside but there where tables outside you could eat at. It was well spaced out and very clean.they gave us a good table to sit at with our trainee guide dog so he was not distracted by anyone.will definitely visit again next time we are in woodhall.well done all the staff .

Went for a afternoon tea birthday treat, very enjoyable. Also, well worth a visit for Sunday lunch. The staff are always extremely polite and helpful. Definitely recommend a visit.

Although billed a s Tea House they do serve good food for lunch and dinner. Portions are generous and the quality is very good. staff are very efficient and friendly. They have very good procedures in place for the current pandemic.

Saturday evening meal, pre-cinema. Staff made you feel safe on arrival and service was prompt. Prices are ok as portions a good size and tasty. And whilst I can’t criticise the food or staff, and left a healthy tip to reflect it, I find the rigid inflexibility really quite ridiculous. For example, my mother wanted the steak pie. It stated “with mash”. If she eats mash, she’s sick. She simply can’t stand the texture. So I asked if she could have any other sort of potato. The answer was “only if you pay extra”. Do they offered a side dish of nee potatoes but the pie would still come with mash - which on her plate would put her off the whole meal. So she took the salmon instead. Her dish snd mine came with a plate of vegetables (including nee potatoes). Maybe all the dishes are pre-plated and microwaved, but seriously guys in this environment where everyone is desperate for business, can you really and honestly tell me swapping mash for other potatoes is impossible?!You’d have got 5 stars if only you had.

This visit was post Covid and I have to say very disappointing. The food was average at best and the pricing ridiculous for what was given. I don’t know if this was just an off day for food but the prices are obviously set high all the time. I haven’t been for a few years but the last time I visited the quality was much better. I’m not sure what the alternatives are in Woodhall but I’ll be trying other places in future.

So our main holiday was cancelled so a stay at home break allowed for us to visit and enjoy quality food good attentive service. Portion size more than adequate for the price and all in a covid secure environment.So good to have this little gem so close to home.

It grieves me to write this review as I have patronised the Tea House on a very regular over many years for coffee, lunch, evening meals and everything inbetween, and have always highly recommended it on the basis that there was nothing to beat it in Woodhall Spa and a much wider area However, since re-opening after Covid it does not offer the same quality, quantity or value for money as previously. In order to justify this report I have had several meals and refreshments since the re-opening with Covid restrictions were permitted several weeks ago, and can honestly say that something is amiss. This appraisal has also been borne out by friends who frequently has meals both pre and post Covid. If it wasn't the Tea House many of the offerings may have been acceptable - but it is almost as though there has been a major change of chef(s) and catering staff, which isn't the case. Portion size and presentation seems to have been pared back and prices increased - it just isn't the same value. Additionally there is a stated inflexibility with meals, for example, - if it says it comes with peas, it comes with peas, and cannot be substituted for beans. The front of house staff are still well trained, welcoming and a credit to the establishment - a credit I think to Natalie. The problem seems go be with the portion allocation mandated for the chef and kitchen staff. A recent example was the Lincolnshire Meat Ploughman's which I had recently; priced at £10, the very small slices of haslet and ham were so wafer thin that you could almost have read a book though them, and the piece of pork pie was half the size of a 50p pork pie from a supermarket. Coupled with a miserable slice of bread and butter it was a pathetic offering. Not all customers are of an age and appetite that they require a 'doggy bag' for a lettuce leaf and half a scone.The Tea House has a very loyal clientele, both local and visitors, generated by a previous business ethos that offered exemplary service and value for money - but 'every dog has it's day' and complacency must not be allowed to creep in. Continuance of standards and product offerings must remain value for money, if not competition will always be ready to step in. Whilst on the subject of improvements, and one which can be easily remedied, is the background music. Always too loud and making conservation difficult. It should always be muted, a background murmur. I think the CD 's are ones that the younger members of staff bring in - just the wrong type. Please lower the volume - we don't need wailing/rap type music.If I did'nt like the Tea House I wouldn't have written this review - but it has been a gem in the area, and I want it to remain so. The cleanliness of the premises is commendable - I have not been to any other that can compare.

Happy to visit for a family meal whilst on holiday nearby. Very happy with the new C19 arrangements and the same friendly welcome and service as before. Hoping to bring some new family members along soon.

We came across this quaint little tea house on our walk around Woodhall Spa and decided to stop for a light bite and drink, staff were extremely friendly and helpful, I had a cream tea and my hubby had an omelette. The omelette was served with chips and a small side salad and hubby said it was delicious, my cream tea was ok but nothing special, price was a little expensive for what was served.

We had a lovely little lunch date here, the surroundings are stunning and the food is lovely. The staff are very friendly and although wearing face shields, still had a smile on their faces. The place was immaculate and once a table was empty the staff quickly cleaned the table and sanitised the whole table and all the chairs which left you feeling safe and well looked after. The only downside I would say is the amount of wasps we encountered as there was no seating inside we opted to sit outside. Could just do with some wasp deterrent of some sort. However, will definitely be returning in the future and for an evening meal as the menu looked delicious.

Booked a family evening meal here. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly member of staff and shown straight to our table. Despite the current COVID restrictions everything was very well organised. There were lots of lovely choices on the menu and the staff were very friendly. The food came promptly, was excellent quality and satisfied all members of our party - 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a 10 year old! Couldn't fault the food or service, would definitely visit again and would highly recommend!

We stopped for lunch and had fish and chips. They were so nice that we booked to go for dinner the night after and we weren’t disappointed. There was a good range of vegetarian options on the menu. The burger I had was very big and tasty which left little for dessert. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Well done for social distancing and service but the food wasn’t as good as our previous visit a few years ago. Very disappointed with my steak & Stilton pie that was all thick pastry and minimal pieces of meat but the gravy was delicious so it was very well cooked just stingy allocation of meat to pie ratio.

The food and the service are always great! The menu has a lot of choice and the prices are good too. I felt the staff did an amazing job with social distancing and made sure everyone was safe and that everywhere was clean.

Superb food. Exceptional service. Booking recommended as it gets busy and Covid restrictions mean fewer people inside. We all had roast dinners and it was just perfect !

We have been here many times over the past 5 years- very impressed with organisation around Covid safety- no issues with questioning customer safety. Excellent food, very polite and attentive staff.

Lunch today service excellent and quick food delicious priced very reasonable would recommend to anyone

We found the tea house in the woods whilst wandering around Woodhall Spa - they had good procedures in place for social distancing so there were two desperate queues - one if you had booked and another if you were hoping for food and drinks! We managed to get a table very quickly and placed our order after much discussion of what to have - we went for the ploughman’s which was lovely and had a good selection on it - the only criticism I will give it was that oh a ploughman’s you usually get think chunky bread to enjoy it with and all that was given was a slice of normal bread which let it down a bit..Tables were all distanced as should be and all staff were wearing masks / face shields which was good to see!

Came here with my mum, daughter and autistic brother whilst having a break away in the area. The gentleman that served us was really patient and helpful with my brother as he can get very flustered when making decisions for himself and changes his mind often! I was really looking forward to the afternoon tea but was told one of the items that it comes with (lemon posset) was not suitable for vegetarians and that they would not substitute it for anything else, although I'm not sure why as they sell plenty of other items and said everything is made to order, so was slightly dissapointed that they couldn't be more flexible to vegetarians, when a lot of places would just swap for something else to ensure all diets are catered for. My mum still chose it for herself, it looked lovely and she said it was all tasty especially the Victoria sponge cake. I had a toasted ciabatta with chips and it was actually really nice, chips were lovely and crisp (although a little tight on the portion size for £8). Kids both got sandwiches, again very small portion but at £2.50 can't really complain about it. They chose banoffee pie for dessert and it looked amazing, wish I'd of got myself one! Overall probably wouldn't come back as portion sizes on the small side and not enough flexibility for other diets.

Visited here today with myhusband and mother in law had the most gorgeous lunch in the restaurant. We felt very safe and your staff are a credit to you, very efficient and very attentive. We will definitely be back the next timewe’re down to visit my mother in law. Keep up the excellent work in these very trying times.

WOW! What a hidden gem this place is . We have just been for our third visit . Lovely setting , lovely staff and amazing food. Reasonably priced, infact a little too cheap for the quality of food received each visit. I must also acknowledge one member of staff especially. CHARLES . A real credit and assett to your business. So friendly and helpful . Made a real fuss of us and our Shiba. Nothing was too much trouble. Even took the time to talk us through the history of the village. We will be back on our next visit . The Pointing Family .

Live local and been many times. This was first time post lockdown. The owners have got it so right and what never fails to impress, is the friendliness and the efficiency of the hard working staff. Unlike other places in the UK, they have got the distance and one way thing just right. Fully recommend. Oh, and the food is excellent!!!!!

A lovely place with food to match, waiter and waitresses helpful and friendly and we will be going back there for sure.

Popped her for tea and cake whilst staying locally, some of the family had sandwiches also. Lovely location, staff really friendly, good choice on the menu and offered inside and outside seating.

Gorgeous little restaurant in the woods! Been twice in the past week. Food and service was brilliant. Loved it! Would recommend.

We just keep going back, always a friendly welcome good food and a very relaxed atmosphere, always busy Speaks for its self

This was the first time we had eaten out since the covid break out and we do not intend to eat out often. However, being on holiday for a week my wife found this gem on an online search and we decided to go for it.We were asked to sanitize our hands on arrival and were shown to our table. There was a nice sense of air flow through the restaurant and we were given a booth to sit in. The waiter serving us was very attentive and polite but not to the point where it was too much. They were all wearing face coverings. The food we ordered was very tasty and we were all left very satisfied. The toilets were all clean as was the premises itself. We couldn't fault the restaurant or the service and it was nice to feel a sense of normality. Recommended!!

I came to up to visit friends and Tea House in the Woods is where we had lunch. The food was so tasty and the service was brilliant too. In the current climate, and being the first time I had eaten our since lockdown, I felt really comfortable. The staff were all working hard to keep the place clean and put customers at ease. Can't wait to come back again.

We recently visited this charming Teahouse and instantly fell in love with the aura of the place. Set in the woods at Woodhall Spa next to the derelict Spa building (under reconstruction) and the enigmatic Kinema in the Woods, this tin roofed Teahouse was delightful in its appearance and service. The outside area is well maintained and spacious (coping easily with Covid19 regulations) and the indoor space was beautifully designed and decorated again keeping in line with Covid19 changes. The service from all members of staff was extremely polite and courteos. The meal was served quickly and was delicious. Good signage throughout the garden interior.

We called in at The Tea House whilst exploring the local area just for a quick drink. Covid 19 measures in place and clearly displayed. Staff very attentive,friendly and polite. Only had drinks but was very nice.

Been visiting the tea house for past 6 years and its always been excellent- quality and quantity of food and friendliness of staff. Having chosen the seafood platter many times i recommended this to my guest.surprisingly only 5 pieces scampi and 2 small fish bits this time. Whilst the food was very nice I didnt feel it commanded the price tag and differed very much to previous occasions.

This was our first tentative step back to the eating out world.....but we really didn't need to be worried at all. The separation of tables was clearly defined with a one way system in place to guide you safely around this well established eatery. The staff were extremely attentive and no request was to much for them its seems like a happy well oil ship they have here that coupled with the biggest and hottest breakfast I can ever refer having made for an exceptional experience I will without a doubt be revisiting this amazing hidden gem in Woodhall Spa In the very near future congratulations to all at the Tea House in the Woods.

Visited on a Thursday evening with friends just after lockdown eased. Very friendly welcoming staff and good service. Food was very good indeed - simple and unfussy but well cooked and well presented. Menu could have had more choice but covered all the main bases. Only thing which surprised us was how quiet the restaurant was but I suppose that was a function of it being mid week and just after easing of lockdown restrictions. It certainly deserves to be busier!

Really great choice to visit Tea House for 'return' meal. Well laid out and signed for social distancing. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The use of PPE was appropriate and proportional. Above all the atmosphere was relaxed and as normal as possible. Not even mentioned the food yet and it was fabulous. I enjoyed the meat ploughman's which was chock full of fresh ham, haslet and pork pie. Enjoyed the pickled veg even surprisingly the cauli! Afternoon teas were enjoyed by my companions with lovely cakes and scones. We were all pleasantly stuffed!

Today we enjoyed a very tasty afternoon tea for my husband's Birthday! It all went to the pre-arranged plan! We parked in front of the tea house, opened the boot and a young man came out with our tea - all carefully packaged in environmentally friendly containers. (Well done!) Sandwiches, scones (a cheese and a fruit scone) delicious sponge cake - coffee and chocolate and a summer fruit posset. We were also able to buy a takeaway tea.Since it was a sunny afternoon, we were able to drive over to Jubilee Park and enjoy our food. We would thoroughly recommend this experience.

Just to let you know we had a Afternoon Tea Takeout for my birthday, what a feast.Easy to book and collection was pull up in the car park with boot open, they drop your takeout in the boot and close it and off you go.There were a virity of sandwiches with a side salad, followed by a massive scone with jam & cream, then a lemon posset before a final course of a loverly home made coffee cake.Would highly recomend and think they are doing a first class service under the circumstances.

Having been vulnerable isolated for ten weeks we decided to have a treat and ordered an afternoon tea for two. We did as instructed parking outside with boot open having paid over the phone. Our tea was promptly brought out and no contact was made. We had a 25 minute drive home and thoroughly enjoyed our food on the patio. It had been beautifully packed so was perfectly fresh. Many thanks to the staff in this strange time.

As we were in lockdown I looked for something special to do at home for VE Day, we would normally have gone to a village event and had a meal out.So I ordered 2 lots of afternoon teas (£18.00) for for 2 people, the sandwiches were in the words of my 3 year old grandson who lives with me ...delicious... there was a good variety, small salad, scones with jam & cream, a lemon posset and Victoria sponge cake, we were all stuffed , thouroughly enjoyed it and it added ambience to a lovely day .We collected it at 2.30, all ready and waiting to pop into the boot for social distancing we’ll packaged and all got hone in one piece.We love going to here for afternoon tea, the take out quality was excellent.

Excellent food, didn't have to wait long, despite it being quite busy, everyone's food came quickly and hot. very clean including W/Cs. Friendly and attentive staff, car park at front with disabled spaces & access. Definitely return here, 5 stars. Thanks to all the staff

The best afternoon tea with such a lovely warm friendly welcome. We will definitely be visiting again. Thankyou

Took my Mum along to this quaint little gem for her birthday and it was worth every penny. The staff go above and beyond to provide excellent service and the food was amazing. We visited when the Covid-19 issue arose and this place offered a little slice of normality and calm which was what was needed.So much history in a small building, a must on a visit to Woodhall Spa

Booked for lunch here prior to a visit to Kinema in the Woods cinema in Woodhall Spa. Restaurant was already well occupied at our arrival but we were attended to by very friendly and competent staff and the meal arrived after minimal delay.Ordered food was excellent, very good sized portions suited our peckish needs of the day.Would highly recommend this restaurant but ensure you prior book due to it being very popular.

Not been since the refurb, looks great. Very welcoming. Staff were friendly and soon seated us at a table. Delicious fish and chips was enjoyed and we had time for a quick walk around Woodhall to work some of it off before the film. Definitely returning.

Exerlant food friendly kind helpful staff great for a meal before going to the kinema and a good place to go alone

We visited on Sunday 23rd February with friendly staff until we mentioned we was Vegan. The waitress said normally people with dietary requirements call before hand as they only offered a vegan crumble and they didn’t have any other vegan foods available. They wouldn’t even make beans on toast for us or a jacket potato. I asked if we had called before would they have offered anything other than a Vegan crumble to eat and she said “no, we don’t have much of your type around here”! With that we left and found Janet’s tea rooms in the high street, who was very accommodating to us. The equilibrium of bad/good had been restored. Janet’s tea rooms offered us a variety of foods and made us feel very welcome.

Great service, friendly staff. Great relaxed atmosphere, and wonderful food. Couldn’t fault our visit.

It has been about two years since our last visit. The staff were friendly accommodating and polite as has been the case on our previous visits.

Food good. The lighter bites for example a sandwich not very good quiet bland. Staff very polite and helpful. Gets very busy in the summer but service is good.

Great food and excellent service. It runs like a well oiled machine. Attentive staff. Everything you order is freshly prepared.

As we are at the top of the list of reviews and it was some years ago I thought it time to update my review..

Myself and 2 friends had coffee and sandwiches here before going to the nearby Kinema. I had booked which was the best thing to do as I don’t think we would been able to get in. As usual the experience at the tea house is wonderful, the food is great, the staff are wonderful, always polite and attentive. Once again a great eatery.

We have visited this restaurant twice now, and is fast becoming a firm favourite.Lovely food, friendly staff, excellent location...we highly recommend this restaurant.

Me and my family came here a few weeks into 2020 to kill off some Christmas blues for the Sunday roast and we weren't disappointed. We decided to pass on starters as we noticed the waiters were carrying rather large platefuls. I had pork with veg and I paid 25p extra for a large Yorkshire pudding which was beautiful. Overall the pork was lovely with the veg and a good size portion. The dessert I had was sticky toffee pudding which I decided to have with ice cream and it was lovely. Overall very good, lovely staff and lovely surroundings.

My wife and I ate here again before the kinema on Friday evening, and once again it was absolutely excellent. The atmosphere within the restaurant is always very friendly and relaxed, even though the place is nearly always full.

We had reserved a table for afternoon tea and were pleased that we had, as even at 1.30pm on a weekday the venue was very full. The Tea House does not have a very pre-possessing exterior as it rather looks like a converted bungalow (I must search for the history!) but inside it was a completely different story. Warm and welcoming with a pleasant background buzz of muted conversations we were firstly shown the array of cakes that would be on offer as part of the afternoon tea package and then shown to our table which was clean and tidy and well-laid out. A waitress came to take our order very promptly and our afternoon tea was also delivered promptly. The food was very fresh and tasty with just the right mix of savoury and sweet: the fruit scones in particular were excellent. The interior was well lit and clean and the tables were far enough apart that you did not feel you were intruding on other diners but close enough that you did not feel as if you were in an isolated island. The staff were all polite, smiling, friendly and professional, the food was great and it was extremely well priced. We will be back to try the lunch main courses!

Despite msny many visits to Kinema we never visited the Tea House next door until Friday. Wow it is beautiful, the food amazing, great service and ice cold lager on draught. Can not wait to go back. Thank you

Visited before Christmas, chose their festive menu. Had to settle for two courses, too full for a dessert. Service was efficient and friendly and an error with the bill was quickly rectified. Lovely decorations. We’ll definitely be visiting again!

Four of us had dinner there last night. I’m not exaggerating, it was the best piece of steak I've had in England, super tasty and cooked to perfection. Super attentive and friendly staff provide an excellent service. It was a pleasure to eat there and I highly recommend it.

Called in for a quick bite to eat around 12ish on a Saturday with family and we were attended to very quickly and courteously. All the staff were excellent very polite and professional service was amazing and the food was fantastic would definitely go again

Love this hidden gem ! A must but please ring first to book it gets super busy and I'm not surprised the food & service is amazing. Very reasonably priced and menu is extensive.

5 of us went for a birthday meal. Everything was pe rfect. Staff were friendly, professional, polite.food was outstanding, too much to choose from.

I booked a special lunch and so we could be seated at a particular table we had to delay our celebration and booked the said table 3 weeks in advance.

3 course yummy Sunday lunch. The deep fried bree was so good! We will definitely be back. Despite being busy we were served very quickly. The food was delicious. The cheesecake is Amazing. Thanks

Absolutely beautiful setting accompanied by absolutely beautiful food! I had the fish & chips (DELICIOUS) And my partner had the Gammon egg and chips which he also said was fantastic! Staff were lovely and very attentive also, will be back!

This is not the first time we have been here, but always before in the height of summer when sitting outside is really nice. But now, with a blazing fire and comfortable surroundings it is just as good inside. So many staff who all know what they are doing makes this a welcome experience. Most tastes are catered for and even a request for some variation of the menu can be met; like bacon and cheese melt instead of tuna and cheese. Perhaps bacon and cheese should occupy a permanent place on the menu (management to consider).

Booked a table on a Saturday early evening prior to going next door to watch a film. The restaurant was nearly full when we arrived - we were shown straight to our table and within 20 mins we had our starters. Both the food and service were second to none. Plenty of staff who managed in an unobtrusive way to walk around ensuring that tables were cleared and courses brought out so that no one was kept waiting for the food. The food was cooked to perfection and the cheeseboard was big enough for us to share.

A friend and I dropped by at 1pm and were lucky enough to be found a table. Although full of diners the staff were quick to attend us and after ordering the food did not take too long to arrive. I loved the selection of vegetables all perfectly cooked (hate then soggy and limp!) which accompanied the venison sausages with braised red cabbage. My friend had the salmon and crayfish penne pasta which looked and tasted divine! Our only complaint was we were so full that we couldn't manage a dessert. . . . next time! A special word about the staff - all who waited on us were young but very friendly and attentive. We both remarked on the excellent service.

Were treated wonderful friendly staff welcomed us with our 4 dogs coffee and cake delicious will go there again when on holiday again

I recently visited the tea house with a friend to sample the delights of their afternoon teas and was suitably impressed. We were greeted warmly on arrival and shown to a table that was suitable as my friend was in a wheelchair.

A lovely venue for a meal at anytime, but after a visit to the 'Kinema in the Woods' it was a wonderful end to a great afternoon, the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing, our food was of the highest quality and came quickly, was beautifully presented and was hot. All in all a excellent experience.

We went to the Tea house in the woods for a birthday afternoon tea, it had just reopened after a refit and it looked amazing, the food was delicious all homemade and good value for money definately recommend it.

We went to the tea house with Visiting friends from America and Essex. The quality of the food was great, but what really made it for me on this occasion was the friendliness and good humour of the young staff.

Having enjoyed a delicious open, generous prawn sandwich outside in the summer, we decided to visit for an evening meal following a cinema visit. We were welcomed by friendly staff, served a drink and after a short wait, taken to our table. I chose the braised blade of beef and my husband the steak and stilton pie. Our huge plates arrived with enormous portions of food. Sadly, it was all downhill from there. The blade of beef hadn't been braised long enough, leaving thick gelatinous streaks of fat through it. Other than the edges, the meat was dry and leathery. The mash was dry and lacking in flavour, root veg undercooked, harder than al dente. All the veg tasted bland. Baby onions tasted like they had been pickled? The Guinness gravy had a bitter after taste. My husbands pie was quite small with half inch thick pastry and he could not taste the stilton. What could have been a great meal with a few tweaks and the addition of some longer cooking, seasoning, a little butter or cream in the mash and simple gravy was very disappointing. Sadly, most of my dinner remained on the plate.
