The Tea Room in Gosport

Food was okay but the drinks (milkshakes) were very disappointing. Looked lovely but were quite tasteless - just milk and syrup. Most other places I have visited use ice-cream in milkshakes. Maybe I'm too fussy? Dog-friendly which was a bonus but wouldn't go back I'm afraid to say.

Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff in this Tea Room. My husband has Parkinsons Disease and they are patient when he is slow chosing from the menu and make us feel so welcome, I know I can relax and enjoy my lunch. The food is well priced and freshly cooked and very enjoyable. A lovely place to come to again and again, thank you to everyone involved.

Lovely interior decor and very clean . Food was pleasant but average. Cost on hot drinks is my issue.. £3.60 I was charged for a very weak black coffee. Staff very blunt about my disappointment. Would not recommend unfortunately

High quality food cooked to perfection. Had full English and scrambled egg and salmon. Great latte and just really good quality local produce. Dogs welcome

Fantastic luxury afternoon tea. Choice of sweet or savoury, Great sandwiches with delicious fillings. Lovely cakes.

Since many years this is our favourite place to go to for afternoon tea. We love the cream tea there. Sandwiches are also very good. Staff is very friendly and helpful. And then afterwards a nice walk on the beach which is just opposite. For us a perfect day out :)

We stumbled across this cafe as we’d parked our car a little away from the seafront- I’m so pleased we did. We were only going to get a coffee as usually ( I’m coeliac) it’s too difficult to find anything that’s gluten free and suitable. I asked the waitress “ do you have anything gluten free” and was pleasantly surprised that they do gluten free bread (for sandwiches) and also had a selection of cakes. We both had scones, jam, butter and cream - which were served warm and were delicious 😋 . The price was reasonable including a coffee or pot of tea. Now I know that I can eat here - I’ll come hungry next time!

We were given a voucher for Christmas for a luxury cream tea. It was valued for 6 months which I thought was fair. We were in Lee so gave them a ring to see if we could go in. So glad we did as it was really good. Plenty of filling in the fresh bread sandwiches. The scone was fresh and tasty and the cake was delicious. We both had coffee and I’m fussy about coffee but it was very nice and it was hot which is not usually the case. So I would highly recommend it.

Found this hidden gem just off the promenade....well worth a visit. Sandwiches were freshly made and good,quality bread used. Cake wasn't dry and good portion size. Plenty of tea in the pot. What's not to like ??

Popped in for a drink and piece of cake. Sat inside to have a chat with family and had to move outside as couldn't hear waitress or each other due to approx 10 ladies have an alcoholic afternoon tea. I love seeing people enjoying themselves but they took over the whole place. When paying I said I am unable to leave a tip due to the noise and having to move outside and the reply was 'its not our problem nothing we can do.'. I feel a more senior member of staff would have not allowed this or replied in this way. Milkshakes were made with warm milk too, very disappointed with visit.

Fab little cafe . Great menu choices and lovely jacket potatoes with plenty of topping . Free large cups of tap water perfect on a hot day. Pleasent staff and great speedy service .

Visited here for a celebration with friends. Food was lovely. We had luxury creams teas and they were delicious. Very disappointed with the level of service. We had to ask for everything we needed ie napkins, knifes to cut the scones and forks for the cake. It wasn’t busy so not sure why we couldn’t get the basics

Enjoyable atmosphere, good acoustics and great range of food. I had breakfast with friends at 10am Friday and chose coconut hot chocolate and the pancakes which were delicious. Great range of herbal teas as well.

First visit since before lockdown. Service by the youngsters was excellent. However, very disappointing the menu has not changed and STILL does not serve vegan food. Choices limited to salad 🙄 or jacket potato with beans 😒. They do have oat milk, but you have to pay 30p. Seriously behind the times and not catering for 2022 public. Still also incredibly noisy and having a conversation is near on impossible. Sadly, after 12 years, won't be going back.

Very disappointing afternoon tea today. both our coffees were lukewarm and my piece of Victoria sponge was VERY Stale! when I politely meant ironed it I was unpleasantly told “ nobody else has complained“ making it out to be me trying to get money off. Very dissapinted and won’t be returning. I’m 80 years old and not one to make a fuss. (written on behalf of my mother) 1*. we were regulars but presumed they have changed ownership.🙁 On a positive note the lady who served us was delightful

My husband and I visited for lunch. Very good jacket potatoes with excellent variety of fillings. The coffee and walnut cake was lovely with good portions. Nice drinks. Friendly staff.

Ladies who work there are lovely and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed...however when we arrived we weren’t sure whether it was table service as it was in most places due to Covid. So we went up to the counter to order and were told to go back to the table which is fine, but we were sat for a long time waiting to be served. The coffee didn’t really taste of coffee, it was very weak. They did offer an extra shot for a small price, however in most places the coffee is stronger than that. Cakes were average and very over priced for what they were. Lovely setting, but just wasn’t what I was expecting. Used to be a lot better from what I remember.

This used to be an excellent place, tomatoe sauce on napkin was quite off putting as we unravelled the cutlery. No atmosphere, staff young and no smile, conversation. Uninviting place

Visited for an early lunch & ordered toasted tea cake, chicken, chorizo & cheese toastie as well as a leek & potato soup between us. Service was nice & friendly and the cafe was quite quiet when we got there but got busier as the time passed. Portions of the food are small - the soup filled half the small bowl with 2 slabs of granary bread cut into halves on the side, with 2 cubes of butter. Perhaps it should have been advertised as bread with soup on the side rather than the other way round 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Soup was a bit thin & very bland so I went to get some salt & pepper. The toastie was just on toasted bread with thin slivers of filling & the salad garnish was really just that - a slice each of tomato, cucumber & some cress on top of each other. Overall, very average & a tad overpriced for what you get. Toilet was nice & clean though the hand towels felt cold & wet.

Odered a toasty, sausage & cheese; it came to £6.30 !! Pretty steep for a side-street non-descript cafe toasty, I thought. Even though it's waitress service, I was asked to pay "up front" because, "I was on an outside table", although, the two lads sitting next to me, didn't pay up-front. When I queried this discrepancy, she went all squirmy and a little speachless. Much better value only 3 minutes walk in either direction. The food was average (for the price) as was the decor and the giggling teenagers (staff).

A lovely traditional place to have refreshments and light meals. Friendly staff, good menu and great service.

I come with my family sometimes to have lunch here. The only thing that's put me off going back is there refusal to cut a small slice of cake for my little boy. Having worked in lots of cafes myself I know this is a...

visited here today for my friend's birthday. We decided to have the afternoon tea. It was amazing the sandwiches were so fresh and filling. The scone was the best one I have ever had they were served warm with ample cream and jam. We were...

Full pots of tea, decent portions and tasty food. They also have a good selection od cake which are very good. You should call ahead to make a reservation as it's usually busy.

Really disappointed with the food sub quality products, microwaved bacon and mushroom. Such awful food we left without eating - owner asked if it was all ok and I stated a microwaved full English was not my idea of food to which she replied ‘ow...

This slightly-wacky tea room is very handy for the seafront at Lee-on-the-Solent. We stopped by here on the way to our accommodation for a light bite. The cafe was very busy but the staff were still friendly and we received good service.

Had a very pleasant lunch with a dear friend. Service, 5☆ food 5☆ beautifully clean 5☆ Thank you for a well priced delicious meal. Jenni and Zoe

I took my youngest daughter to tea room along with her older sister for a luxury cream tea to help hercelebrate her birthday . The tea room is welcoming very clean and warm . The staff are welcoming and attentive The sandwiches were delicious fresh...

Very nice tea rooms gorgeous cakes food is soooo good prices reasonable to eat a large meal then walk it off by the sea

Good clean, modern feel and lovely food. I had tomato soup for lunch with a cheese scone on the side. To be even better I'd have liked a bit of cheese and chutney to go with the scone, but the soup was lovely and thick...

This is a nice clean modern cafe we have had lunch the salades are huge and very nice you also get a nice ppt of tea with lovely china cups

Couldn't figure out the right date in diary No tables booked for us Ended up having to leave with no other alternative Shambles

The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was nice and the tea was served in real cups and saucers rather than in a mug. There was a steady procession of customers coming in - sign of a good tea room!! This is not a...

Very nice food lovely staff and delicious cakes. Always enjoy it there. We’ve taken people there and they have enjoyed it also.

Cute little vintage place with nice coffee and cake. Lovely to stop by for some sweet stuff. Loved the decor and mismatched China. Would visit again when staying in Southampton

Myself and my friend used to lunch here at least once a month and mostly had the afternoon tea for two. It was always so delicious, but they started using prepackaged clotted cream and pots of jam. This means that the jam and cream ratio to the size of the scones doesn’t work anymore. That, and the other cakes on offer not being that nice has meant that we have stopped going. It’s not worth the money any longer for a round of sandwiches and half a scone.

I'm a huge scone fan and lived in many places but wow, just tried a scone here and it was the best scone I've ever had! Will definately be back. X

We were there for my wife’s cousin’s surprise 80th birthday 🎈🎈🍰 🍜🥪🎈🎈party, the food was good, service was good and everyone had a great time.

Visited for the first time recently and was very impressed. Thought the sandwich we ordered was a bit overpriced until we got it? It was so full of chicken and salad, with further salad on the plate that it was like having a meal instead of a sandwich. Well worth the cost and very tasty as well. Staff very friendly, would definitely visit again and recommend.

It was extremely busy but the staff managed to cope. Not too quick off the mark to clear the table to enable us to sit down and not a good job done when they did. Did notice a couple of cracks on the tea cups but overall the food was good and the wait not too long considering how busy they were. Toilets were acceptable.

My son and I visited here for the first time during a long walk at the weekend. The staff were welcoming and attentive, the decor very quaint, with mismatched chairs and lovely ambience. We both had a hot drink and a toastie, both were very nice. Although we didn’t have room for one, the cakes looked amazing! Will be back again.

We arrived at the cafe at about 12.20 and ordered a coffee, a hot chocolate and two toasties. The drinks came very quickly then began the long wait for infamous toasties. After half an hour and drinks finished,I went in to enquire about the whereabouts of the toasties. The lady seemed suprised and said,”oh, you are next”. After another quarter of an hour I decided to go and cancel the order. I saw the waitress approaching with what looked like the fabled toasties. Shocked I went to sit back down and enjoy the food. However they were not really worth the long wait and we were disappointed. I appreciate that it was a warm day and the cafe was busy. I would have thought that a member of staff could have come and apologised for the long wait. The waitress just dumped the food down with no sorry for the wait. An apology would have been nice.

We went to the Tea Room at lunch time 2 of us had a cream tea with one having prawn baked potato followed by cake. All were delicious and good service. The Tea Room is well laid out with adequate room. All in all a great experience and we all will return.

came for traditional cream tea.... wow .... scones large and warm. tea and coffee was lovely. saw cakes...all looked lovely and lots of choice. saw someone with a sandwich which had lots of filling and you can choose bread type. menu has lots of choice. venue is really cute and clean. view of solent if sat in right place. toilets clean, fresh flowers, candle burning and a whole basket of flannels to dry hands with.

A friend booked a table for my birthday for a high tea.

My jacket potato, cheese and beans were inedible as the beans were excessively salty. I asked for a different meal and the manager was rude. She refused a replacement meal saying that no-one else has complained about the beans before. She would have served me another meal had I paid for it. I declined and said that I would never visit the Tea Shop again as the food quality was poor and the way I was spoken to by a senior member of staff was appalling.

Loved visiting this place because it wasn't modern like everywhere else, it was quirky. But now it's changed to modern and just looks like any other tea room. Such a shame I loved this place and coming here with my friends. Heard a few people have moaned about the changes.

Lovely new cafe, does. Reakfast and lunch, very clean friendly staff, nice choice of sandwiches huge portions and a good choice of cakes, tes served in a pot with choice of loose or tea bag

It was a beautiful Saturday and everyone was on the seafront and therefore all the usual cafe's were full. Down a side street was this little gem, still with room outside. The coffee was delicious and the service quick and with a smile.

A lovely space to sit and eat after a walk along Lee seafront.

I have been to this place a couple of times before but this time it let me down a bit. I ordered the Mediterranean quiche but when it arrived it looked just like a cheese quiche. A thick slice of cheese on the top with no taste of vegetables at all. My friend also ordered the same and was disappointed. A friend ordered a jacket potato with tuna and she seemed happy with this, as it was huge! I think in future I will stick to their cakes and tea!

My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary,by having the luxury cream tea.Which was a gift from our friends.We were served a choice of sandwiches,scones and cake.Also had a choice of loose leaf tea or tea bags.Or you could have.I had the English breakfast loose leaf tea.Have to say it was very delicious. We would have this again.Never,ever had bad food there.It's our favourite tracks room

Absolutely awful, black jacket potatoes,that had been warmed up in microwave, but how many days had they been stored? Cold drinks ordered as hot day,they were warm. Milk left out on side when this country having a heat wave!,,,

Visited with family staff were rude ..... after waiting for ages yo be served and spending over 50 pounds on everones lunch I would not go back stale bread .... cakes very dry ... could tell they were days old ..... I would not go here again !

This use to be a really lovely place, but it’s lost it’s shabby chic, cosy tea room appeal. And sadly our food was really disappointing too, once we were finally served the food tasted as though it was from a packet rather than hand made as it use to be, not to mention the awful taste of the scones.

We called in for a late breakfast (11:30). Ordered the full english and a toasted bacon sandwich with tea. Both meals were substantial and of good quality. Prices were very reasonable. The staff were friendly and efficient. Recommended.

..near the main road with parking on the road .. We stopped here for lunch and sat at an outside table in the sunshine .. Order from the menu and walk inside to place your order .. Food was very tasty with friendly staff .. very enjoyable ..

My daughter took me here as a treat for mother’s day. All I can say is it was possibly the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, and the scones were like you cook at home. No dry tasteless scones here. Loved it so much we went back a couple of weeks later for coffee and cake which was equally as good. Well worth a visit.

Walked in on a beautiful Friday afternoon at 4.30. "Welcomed" with a loud statement that the kitchen is closed and we can only have tea and cake.... which was all we wanyed but if a place is open till 5 we should be able to order food till at least 4.50, it's menu is light snack after all.

Biggest sandwich I have ever had. Great cake as well . Would defo visit again. Lots of nice choice on offer for a lunch.

Yesterday I popped out to grab some lunch with my Nan and stumbled across The Tea Room. The interior is beautiful, the lunch was outstanding and the cake was even better! To get an idea for price I bought a sparkling water, a glass bottle of coke, a sausage and bacon toasted sandwich, scrambled eggs on toast, caramel shortbread and 4 cakes to take away which only amounted to £22!!!

Visited today with my daughter and we had luxury afternoon tea for 2 , when we entered we where left standing around , no greeting from the staff or anything ! We sat at a table and waited for someone to take our order (as has always been the case ) but no-one bothered so I went to the counter to order , food was good thankfully but the lack of interaction with the staff made the visit very dispointing especially as visitors after us where shown to tables and had their orders taken at the table !!

Although a 50 mile round trip, I visit The Tea Room several times each year. It has always been excellent. Today's visit was no exception. Doorstep sandwiches with very fresh bread. My wife had ham and tomato and I chose egg mayonnaise and bacon which was superb. Then we both had Victoria sponge cake. With two thick layers of filling in each slice this cake is exquisite. Service is always fast, attentive and pleasant. I doubt if it is possible to find a better tea room in Hampshire.

With so many tea rooms and coffee houses opening in every corner of the country it is sometimes hard to pick out the good ones, not so with The Tea Room in the Hampshire are of Lee-On-The-Solent. A bustling seaside village with a broad shingle shore and wonderful views of the Isle of Wight.

We often go to Lee for a walk and tea and cake. We are regulars at another tea room but today we happened to park right outside The Tea Room so thought we'd give it a try. Big mistake. We visited at about 4pm and it was not busy. Nobody said hello. One employee was more interested in sweeping the floor than greeting customers. No idea if one had to order from the counter or if it was waiter service. Eventually approached the counter and ordered.

Firstly just to say I didn’t give full marks due to where we were seated, it was very cramped in a corner and the table was too low so my legs wouldn’t go under the table and was quite uncomfortable. However the food more than makes up for this little fact, we had afternoon tea for 2 and it was delicious! The portion sizes were the best I have had anywhere! The sandwiches were filled to the brim and the scone was huge S was the slice of cake we got. I cannot fault the food one bit! Will deffo visit again in future, aslong as I can sit elsewhere lol.

Nice venue for lunch. Good menu. Very good cakes. Staff were efficient and friendly. Has had a good revamp.

Visited here for the 2nd time today with friends-excellent food and friendly service. A lovely tea room and delicious food-cannot fault it.

Lovely food and nice atmosphere to meet with friends for afternoon tea and cake. Service is good and freshly made food

Have visited this café on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. Bacon and brie toasted sandwich is too die for. Can be difficult to get a table due to it's popularity. Maybe worth reserving a table to avoid disappointment.

We called in today, a wet grim day, they were busy but we were lucky with a table, coffee was the reason, but while studying the menu watching the food coming out we sunk, it had to be a bite to eat, jackets were ordered, they were super tuna mayo, they were superb, toasted sandwiches looked excellent, the routine sandwiches were sublime, cakes out of this world, my only negative comment I would make is the slices of cake on a high tea was huge, with everything else on the plates I fail to see many can complete the tea. We I’ll try next time in there.

My mum and myself fancied cuppa coffee and cake so we popped down to The Tea Room once before visited on Mother's Day but was a few years before . Once inside the warm friendly atmosphere mangeded to get the last table available which was lucky for us was by the window with large comfy chairs. We actually couldn't resist the afternoon tea , a selections of sandwiches of your choice,fruits or plan scones with jam and cream, followed by your selection of cake , finished off by pot of tea perfect. The staff friendly and helpful . Good decoration suitable for a tea room . Would recommend this tea room for special occasions or to pop in for catch up with friends or family .

Dropped in On Christmas Eve and the place was full. There was a table for two just coming free so we waited and took that one once it was cleaned down. There is quite a good selection of eats as well as drinks, both hot and cold on the menu. Plenty of staff about so service was good. I had a cappuccino which was not too bad but not as strong as I usually like. My wife had a hot buttered tea cake. It was quite big and tasty. It’s just off the sea front so easily accessible if you are walking along the front. Parking is near by. Reasonably priced, will give it a go again when we are next here.

Christmas afternoon tea with work colleagues. Beautifully decorated room very pretty ,reminiscent of tea rooms of the 50s . We were made very welcome by staff who came and took our order promptly , we all ordered cream teas which came with a drink included in the very reasonable price . We all agreed the sconces which you could choose plain or fruit were delicious . We were served quickly and not hurried at all even when we had finished and still talking we were told to just take our time , which was nice . We will be going back as all the delicious cakes need sampling. Would highly recommend.

Excellent choice of sandwiches, scones and cakes. Really big portions and very well prepared. Service was efficient and so friendly.

We enjoyed another delicious tea and cakes after a bracing walk along the seafront on a chilly but sunny Sunday afternoon. Staff charming and efficiently attentive, the tea and cakes were spot on served in delightful crockery. Very happy to have returned.

Popped in today and enjoyed two for tea. Nice atmosphere, lovely cherry and almond cake, coffee walnut cake after soup and a great sandwich. Food and drink very good quality and a good location. Been before and will certainly go again.

I regularly visit with friends and was rather disappointed with the service this time. My friend ordered a jacket potato which was hard and the latte and hot chocolates that were ordered were cold. The floor underneath our table was filthy.It was very busy in there yesterday and I found the noise level very difficult to contend with especially when talking to my friends. I feel the staff could have been a lot more polite and smile a bit more often than they did.

Visited today with my daughter and my mum - we all enjoyed the great food and service, can recommend!

It gets very noisy when there are more than a couple of tables in as there are no soft furnishings to soak up noise. Staff were more interested in talking to their friend/colleague outside the kitchen window than to customers.

Visited on Monday with a friend. Quick pleasant service and great soup - freshly made that morning. Certainly will be back again.

The food and service here are both wonderful. The food is fresh and homemade which is demonstrated by the great taste. The shop itself is clean and tidy. There is also an accessible toilet which was of aid to my elderly Aunty. Overall, fantastic.

Wasn't acknowledged walking into an empty shop. Luke warm, small and weak coffee. Staff uninterested. Plus side, great location and clean.

We wanted somewhere to meet for our regular coffee and catch-up and my friend suggested The Tea Room as she had been before and said I would like it. Easy to find and plenty of parking. She had a slice of cake and I had a sandwich. Well I wish we had gone for lunch! The choices from the menu were great and the display of cakes was wonderful. We really enjoyed our food but I was enviously looking around at what others had chosen. The staff were lovely and friendly but my only criticism would be that they could be more generous with their coffee. A medium cappuccino came on a very small cup. Even though it was a beautiful cup and saucer there wasn't much in it. Will definitely be going back soon for lunch. It doesn't have the views of other local cafes but the ambiance and quality makes up for that.

Wonderful afternoon tea, nice atmosphere and a treat for anybody - loads of tea or coffee, nice sandwiches and great cakes! Old traditional afternoon tea and cakes, cream tea's to boot as well...., yum

Popped in for a cup of tea and a slice of delicious cake on Monday 28th August. As always, great service and friendly staff. The cakes are always delicious and never disappoint. Will be back again soon.

Oh dear. I loved this Tea Room but on this visit, on Saturday 19th August 2017, the tables are now crammed in and more uniform, instead of looking like mismatched furniture. It's more like a canteen. The cream tea was very disappointing. The scones have shrunk in size and were slightly burned , so the fruit was very sour tasting. The tea was nice but very disappointed with the whole atmosphere and seating. Sorry, won t be recommending you again

Have been here in the past and loved it, but have not been for a couple of years, but was in the area so called in for a late lunch. We both had excellent ham, crispy bacon and cheese toasties, a pot of loose leaf tea for two, and I succumbed to a slice of coffee and walnut cake. When we arrived every table except one was full which we took, but despite this we still received a very speedy service and delicious food. We will be back when next in the area.

We went because of a gift for our 50th wedding anniversary... Had to bring food home for it was too much to eat it all. Excellent FULL sandwiches, Tasty Tasty scones and lush cakes... what more?? ok nit-pick I'd pick a stronger tea brand BUT was piping hot and ok.

Came here for lunch today with 2 friends and their children and I bought my puppy along. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, providing my pup with her own bowl of water and even mopping it up when she knocked it over! Nothing was too much of a bother for them.

Ordered cream teas for three- these included four sandwiches of your chosen filling, scones with clotted cream and jam, and a big slice of your chosen cake (and a choice of tea or coffee).

Found by accident as most tea rooms close in lee by 4pm, they stayed open till 5pm, let us in with 8 minutes to go. We got two lovely cakes, GF for Mrs B chocolate and beetroot & I had just chocolate, very moorish indeed and lovely uppa & espresso to boot.

Average, overpriced, small portions, limited menu. But it's a tearoom !!! Nice decoration though.....

Really nice lunch here and very popular! Sadly, this does mean you may not be able to get a seat straight away and it can be quite noisy inside as it's a small place but we will keep coming back again and again because the food is so nice here and it's very lovely to have loose leaf tea in real bone china. Keep up the good work!

Went with a friend. First time I had been there. Very clean and the food was delicious. A little dearer than usual but the quality was good. We did not feel at all rush as we enjoyed food and a chat.

My review is slightly late but however a review is a review.

Bloody love this place. Have been a few times for afternoon tea and always first choice. Yummy! Hoping to return soon.

Ordered Coffees' and orange juice & 2 Toasted sandwiches at 12:05 as printed on the receipt. Serving staff member was friendly and drinks arrived promptly. At exactly I 12:30 I politely asked if the Toasties' where going to take much longer and was told they are on the way. At 12:38 I informed different staff member at cash till that we are not prepared to wait any longer. An offer of free further drinks and an apology was offered but I felt the apology was insincere and so asked for a refund. This lack of genuine regret on her part was then underlined by then taking further time to calculate our refund minas the drinks that we had while we had been kept waiting. The reason given for the delay was quite possibly the worst excuse that can be given to a customer in a restaurant. " We are very busy". To this problem, I am happy to help this establishment with in the future !

My fav tea room.. Always wonderful food and lovely staff been coming here for at least 6 years I always have luxury cream tea. Always clean and beautiful Inside Always clean toilets

We had the afternoon tea for one....in fact it was large enough that we could share one. It was very nice. Only slight criticism was that the orange and chocolate cake was too sweet. A lovely tea room
