The Tudor Of Lichfield ~ Restaurant, Tudor Tea Room & Luxury Chocolate Shop in Lichfield

Absolutely lovely place! Glad we visited, like stepping back in history.

We went in on a Saturday morning and ordered drinks and a tea cake. The drinks took over 20 minutes but at 45 minutes we gave up on the teacakes and left (insisting they remove them from the bill) Disappointingly slow service and no apology. Won't be going back.

Service was atrocious, waited 30min.for teacake that didn't arrive until I decided to leave,chef said it could take up to 45min.wont go there again

£6.99 Welsh rarebit comprised one single slice of bread with some toasted cheese on top. That is quite some mark up!

It took 35 mins to get 2 toasted teacakes they came ready buttered on one plate

Had the day in lichfield. Our 2nd wedding anniversary. Went here for lunch and it was lovely. Unfortunately I was too full for a pudding but did buy some beautiful chocolates and had them boxed. The staff were lovely and friendly. I would recommend.

Stopped for a drink and lunch. Genuinely friendly staff, speedy service and good food, definitely reccomend!

Warm welcome, food was excellent & well priced.

We don't live in Lichfield and it was the first time we had visited here for many years. The building the Tudor of Lichfield is set in, Lichfield House, was built in 1510 and has many original features. There is a wide choice of food and drink. The three of us all had different main courses and desserts and all the food was excellent, as was the service. I personally can highly recommend the Steak and Ale pie. We will certainly visit here again, the next time we are in Lichfield.

Steak n ale pie to die for it is delicious staff are really friendly nothing to much trouble

Today in August, it was my 58 birthday, in here I felt young. The building I think dates back.

This is absolutely amazing place! Had a gender reveal party. Amazing atmosphere and stuff. Enjoyed the food, drinks and communication with the team.

This is a quiet and cozy pub my partner and I visited on Sunday for breakfast, I love the dedication they have put into preserving the old Tudor theming instead of modernizing it as it really is a show of love to the past. The service here is lovely as they were patient with my questions about dishes and were understanding when I was a little paranoid about a dish containing dairy (it did not - I am just a very anxious person) I really appreciated how hospitable they were to not only myself but also to the other guests in the restaurant as they were patient with every question and enquiry thrown their way. The food was tasty, not amazing on my side but it was nice -- it was just what was needed before heading out, my partner really enjoyed the bacon and french toast with Maple Syrup. This place is somewhere you must go at least once if you'd like a throwback to the past of England as it really feels cozily preserved in time.

Great place the food was excellent and the staff were most helpful many 😊 thanks

A very nice lunch in a beautiful old building full of character, the chocolates are top class.

We booked for lunch and had been recommended to visit this family run business. The place was busy and had an air of relaxation and felt homely. We were attended by Guy , head waiter who was thoughtful, tentative to our questions and took our drinks and food orders. He offered us leaflets of the history of the place which we found fascinating. When our food arrived it fabulous, I had lasagna along with tea, and was to die for. Desserts to follow and a great selection to choose from. The service was excellent and we felt well looked after, made the experience feel special. Family businesses of this type with such lovely staff and owners are rare. We would highly recommend the staff, atmosphere and drinks/ food. Beautiful city and a gem of a place to relax and eat. We will be returning very soon!!!

Had a lovely afternoon tea here, it’s a hidden gem with its quaint tearooms, picturesque surroundings. Highly recommended. Staff very friendly

I visited the Tudor cafe on Friday 7th June with 2 others. We were horrified to see the beautiful chocolate counter replaced by a bar which had more resemblance to a coffin. Completely out of place in a listed building of such beauty. I understand that businesses need to move on and think of new and innovative ways to encourage new business but this lacks style and is completely out of place. So disappointing, after living in Lichfield all my life and loving this building.

I have just enjoyed a wonderful Afternoon Tea at The Tudor with a group of 18 friends. We used a private room upstairs which was just perfect for our group. We had a choice of tea or coffee, Prosecco, finger sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, plus a variety of very moreish small cakes. The scones were delicious! I understand that they are freshly baked at the Tudor following "Grandmother's" recipe. It was so nice to have table service. I would highly recommend The Tudor.

Would of given 5 stars if I had a window seat but unfortunately either occupied or smaller table. Ordered club sandwich , all day breakfast and kids burger meal as pictured. It’s a 500 year old building so price is reflected in that . Served very quickly , maybe not as busy as normal due to people outside getting ready for Lichfield Barrow. Food is good quality.

Absolutely fabulous! Amazing food, beautiful setting. Super friendly, attentive staff. All round great! We were served by a lovely waiter called Ethan!

Great place in town to have lunch. Good sandwiches and tea cakes. They sell chocolate too.

Great food and a lovely mocha and all sensibly priced.

We had a loverly time as it was a treat for my birthday we had the afternoon tea my only issue was the spead they used on the bread could of been better I'm afraid all good otherwise

As we entered the chocolate shop the service was poor no smile, no good afternoon, no thank you. We asked the prices of a chocolate box no clear message all the answers would be is by the weight of chocolate, very simple. Yet quility of the chocolates were top class!👌

We ordered the afternoon tea. For the price, it was very reasonable in quantity and quality. The main issue seemed to be the server we had as he was rushed and not greatly attentive. He gave us the menus and when i said we are having the afternoon tea, he said you still have to choose your sandwiches. When i read the blurb about the tea, it says something along the lines of "ask your server for the types of sandwiches ". When i pointed this out, he had no idea what the options were and had to ask another server for advice. A few small things were that we had to ask for more sugar and there is only one small plate each so the option is to ask for more plates or wipe it clean after the sandwiches and horseradish so you can enjoy the cakes. The strangest thing was that the same server said "I assume you want white bread." Not sure why that was the assumption, unless the sandwiches had aleady been made. But when i asked "What are the other choices?", he responded with "OK!" and then scarpered. Luckily we didn't mind white bread but it left us a little baffled. I would suggest a little bit more attention to detail and a bit more training for less experienced staff. Overall, food was reasonable, place is lovely, price was good for what we got, service lacking.

Great for lunch. The chef’s pie is really good! Also the building itself is build in the 1500’s so the aesthetics of the place are amazing

Fantastic place! Highly recommend and will 100% be visiting again. We visited the Tudor on a complete whim today when walking past. The building is magnificent both inside and out, we felt like we were visiting a national trust heritage building. The food was absolutely delicious and fairly priced too, I had the steak and ale pie which I must say is one of the best pies I’ve had. My wife went with the cottage pie which she was very satisfied with. The Childrens menu shocked us the most, we have a young 3 year old and finding her something she will eat in a restaurant is challenging, we ordered her a burger which we were expecting to be just a standard cheap childrens burger. When our daughter offered us some to try we were both shocked with how good it tasted! My daughter ate the whole thing, which is something she’s never done with eating out. Lovely staff, beautiful location inside and out, beautiful good quality food! We look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

The food is of a high standard for a Cafeteria it is more the standard of a quality restaurant, the atmosphere is unique as is the waiting service...very prompt and polite always, all this makes for a unique experience & makes you think of when you could next fit in a visit, the only thing l would like to see hopefully in the near future is for the beautiful home made pies to be a **Full Pastry Pie with Sides & a Bottom** rather than a crock pot with a pastry Lid...!! It puts a potentially award winning 🏆 Pie into a casserole category sadly 😔 other than that my congregations to the Chef... 😋😊

Built in 1510, a beautiful place to visit and treat yourself to some luxury chocolate.

WONDERFULL Food and Male Staff alex

We booked a Mother’s Day afternoon tea and after having many afternoon teas at other venues we had some changes that we needed to make to sandwiches etc prior to arriving I spoke to Clare who was extremely helpful nothing was too much trouble everything we asked for including a children’s afternoon tea was catered for to a tee! When we arrived it was extremely busy but regardless all staff were attentive and couldn’t have made our Mother’s Day any better The choice of sandwiches available on the afternoon tea menu is something that no other venue can compete with thank you so much we will definitely be back soon x

Staff was keen to help and pleasant service

We have visited here a few times, and we went last week, and the smell of the food made us want to eat there again. We always enjoy the food and drinks, it's always delicious. 😋 I recommend trying the cream tea as we always enjoy it, and it is worth it.

Disappointed. Completely. Such a beautiful building and such a terrible food. Food is just terrible: was there today with a family and wanted to enjoy sunday roast. Roast has nothing to do with roast, instead we received some slices of boiled meat rather than slowly cooked for hours. Something which they called gravy was far away from real gravy. Have a look at picture and you will see that it is just mixture of something with flour i think, but the taste is just like eating glue. Besides i was shocked to see that the waiters and the cook are actually bringing and taking the yorkshire puddings by hand! No gloves! They have a storage room which is outside of the restaurant and every time they needed the pudding they went there and took it with bare hands. Not in containers, not trays, but just bare hands. After touching the door handles! We asked for the table of three and were already given the table and sat at the table when another waiter came and said that the table is reserved. But there was no sign on it or anything. So one waiter did not not know what the other was doing. So we were asked to change the table. I also ordered a cream tea and then in the window again saw how they took my scone by bare hands from their storage room! Look at the pic of scone. Looks that it has been pressed. It happens when you only heat them in the microwave and it has lots of moisture inside. No words. It as a terrible lunch and waste of money. A shame, cause the building itself is very authentic and nice

Had coffee and cake. Cake scrumptious

This is a beautiful place. We had the afternoon tea and it was delicious. All the sandwiches were made fresh,the scones were lovely and fresh and the 'wedge' of cake we were given was gorgeous. We also had some of their handmade chocolates which were to die for.They also sell these gorgeous chocolates. The price we paid for our afternoon tea was well worth the money. They also do meals.I would definitely go back.Thank you for a lovely afternoon. 😊

Good, homely, food. Friendly staff. Decor could do with an update.

Service was very poor, we had afternoon tea with no variety of teas we asked for brown bread sandwiches and got white I had to go and find someone every time I needed anything and to get us the bill after waiting about half an hour.

Great meals. Very busy so did have to wait a short while but food was well with waiting for.

Having visited this establishment on several occasions I can honestly say what a pleasant experience each time I have had. The food quality is absolutely amazing especially the steak and kidney pie which is a must have to try. Also all the staff are very polite and helpful too. I will definitely be revisiting.

Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by while you enjoy a delicious hot drink and, in my case, tasty poached eggs on toast!

Random visit for family of 7 on a birthday trip not pre booked they went out their way to fit us in, in a room upstairs.service and food was exceptional. Really good value and portions size's very ample. Customer service was brilliant would highly recommend

Be aware an excessive extra tea pot fill up and black coffee another £12 on afternoon tea for 4 spoilt an otherwise pleasant visit.

Well if your looking for a slice of the past you have it here with this absolutely beautiful tea room. I visited yesterday the 25th January 2024. As soon as you step in the warm and cosy team room just wants you to take a seat and lap up the history and warmth which we certainly did. The service was brilliant super efficient and very friendly. Even though we just had tea and cake it was truly worth it. I have been here before many times over the years as living in Tamworth as a family Lichfield is not far away. I always say if we just come to Lichfield for something to eat here and go home I would be happy. Many thanks and see you soon 😊👌👍

I would definitely recommend the champagne afternoon tea. Place has lots of character, friendly welcoming staff, great selection to have with afternoon tea. It was perfect for my mums birthday treat

Enjoyed our afternoon tea. Great value food. Would go back again.

A lovely dining experience in a wonderful tudor building. The food was delicious, and the staff were very professional and attentive.

Lovely 16th century building. Friendly staff. Nice coffee.

Everything is good except the chairs could be more comfortable. My bum was numb when I got to leave.

Great staff. We had the festive afternoon tea. Was lovely.

Wonderful place. Very friendly staff. Great food.

Lovely meal lovely atmosphere & very clean.

Excellent meals, both hot and very filling , Would recommend it to everyone visiting Lichfield.

Popped in really busy 2 adults 3 kids staff managed to sort a table very helpful staff

Love this tearoom in genuine period building. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is an excellent selection of Belgian chocolates to go with your coffee or to take home.

Deceptively deep cafe, good food, friendly staff stunning chocolates, worth a visit,

Great little place, beautiful old building, lovely food

Lovely old place with a lot of history . The food is excellent . I have been there a few times over the years and it is always very good .

A lively corner cafe with a nice variety in the menu and excellent cakes.

Lovely old building. Very friendly staff and great cakes

Traditional lunch. Good experience in over 500 years old property. 🤣🤣

First time coming here and will definitely be coming here again. Lovely service and lovely old building. The hubby said the full breakfast was amazing and the omelette I had was good.

Very expensive for what you get. £36.00 for a couple of pots of tea, a couple of plates of sandwiches and a couple of cakes 🤷‍♀️, for 2 people. Sarnies were lovely, hence 3 starts, service very good, but, too pricey.

What a shame ,had Walsh rabbit on toast with a couple of sausages,I did ask for the cheese mixture to be well done ,wasn't also wasn't even luke warm ,bread all soggy ,basically looked like sorry guys ,,,sick ,I did make the suggestion that the toast might be better being a bit more thicker, toast was same thickness as a medium sliced loaf ,staff said that this was the thickest they could do it ,surely in your bakery you can ulter the bread slicer! Sorry disappointed however the sausage was nice and the your lady who was training was very good, the second lady was abit harsh towards me when I gave the feedback ( she did asked me if everything was OK) sorry for the moan ,maybe was busy don't know but in the past I've always had good food there

Worst coffee ever. Undrinkable. Coffee out of a machine, frothy scum on the top and to top it all more expensive than a 'proper' coffee. Will not be returning. I would just say following the response from the cafe, that I did mention to the waitress that the coffee didn't look very appealing with a frothy scum on the top. When I went to pay I said to the cashier that the coffee was undrinkable and I'd had to leave it. The cashier made no comment, took my money and then confirmed the coffee did indeed come from a machine.

Fantastic service great food and staff are excellent

Excellent services and food Thanks

Excellent food! Staff very obliging! My husband had the liver and bacon, I had the steak and ale pie. All home made and cooked, fresh vegetables, delicious 😋

I toom my friends here for afternoon tea but unfortunately I was disappointed. The sandwiches were aplenty but the cakes were limited and there wasnt enough tea/coffee so we had to keep asking. The staff were nice and friendly though, I just didn't feel it was worth £15 a head unfortunately.

Loving the roof terrace here! Friendly staff and nice stop off for a drink and a bite.

Excellent food and atmosphere. We had some tea, which was good. The omelette with mushrooms was excellent as was the ham and cheese sandwich, and the scones were good too. The building dates back to 1510, and feels that old inside. The waitstaff was all attentive and gracious, until we were ready for our check. Not a big deal. Behind this establishment is the tiny winding alley right out of Harry Potter, with small shops like ice cream, crystals, puppy products.

Very nice olde worlde place, definitely go again

Just popped in to get Lichfield chocs and jam, was good, lady at checkout busy talking to others.

Fabulous food,great friendly service.Beautiful building.

It's not the best and not the worst. A little overpriced.

Was a little disappointed. Friendly staff but the food was not good sadly.

What a gem, catered for my gluten free requirements and the service was impeccable and very friendly. As was my first visit to the city they were both knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely visit again when in the vicinity.

A firm favourite of mine. Always go when i return to Lichfield. Good menu to suit all tastes and budgets. Visited again, lovely meal, caring staff. Excellent liver and scones for lunch. Thank you.

Lovely old place , like going back in time , a bit of pampering . Good food . L

Ate here today,very polite and friendly staff.But very disappointing snack.Had beans on toast ,the bread was the cheapest thinnest sliced I have ever eaten,with no more than a large serving spoon of beans.£5.80.😞

Staff were friendly, tasty food. Defernatly returning.

Love this coffee shop . So friendly and helpful . Food is outstanding

Staff are down to earth. Great food and good prices.

Lovely coffee at a reasonable price

Food was OK but not as good as it was

Beautiful meal, excellent service, and chocolate to boot.

Amazing food, always freshly cooked, generous portions and reasonable prices. What’s not to love? Oh yes and super-friendly staff! Always the go-to place whether for coffee, snacks or full meal. Licensed too!

Lovely friendly cafe, speedy service, delicious food

Olde worlde cafe,sandwiches with chips and coffee,tasty.

Very nice but a little expensive.

The service was incredibly slow, just rediculas, it took 3 attempts to get the wine and 3 attempts to get the tonic water, it was a palarva. I needed the loo, omg another palarva, 3 steps , then through a room, then 1 step, then turn to the right, then 3 steps then turn left , then it looked like another 10 steps. I have difficulty breathing and would not even attempt that. I felt so sorry for the young girl serving, she should have been chaperoned . Someone by her side. 2 , and kept pecking round the door and thec2 watched on. So we ordered 1 wine and tonic water, 1 spring water and a pot of tea, this took 25 minute, with 2 trips re the wine, the tonic took 2 people with 3 trips with 2 lots of tonic. We had 2 x burger and chips, the salad, was well I would not have given a rabbit if I had one. What should have happened and would have not only reassured the trainee, but showed the customer great service, was introduce the trainee, tell the customer do you mind , it may take slightly longer. No probs !! Then let the trainee take the order. And the trainer check, if correct, praise the trainee, thank the customer for helping in the training, go away and get the drinks, then food. No the trainers if you could call them that, were to busy skiving, and let that poor girl try and sort it. They should be shot for that horrendous support. That girl was so apologetic. And it was there lazy fault. What a farce. Julie Walters in Acorns antiques would have been faster and more entertaining. How very sad. I just kept saying your doing great my darlin. I have worked in retail for 50 years , held a management position for 30 plus years, been a customer service manageress. And I have never felt so sorry for anyone being treated so poorly. Ms lazy and Ms Lazy, have not got a clue. How sad. Yet the cafe itself has character, but I have to say the best entertainment was a lady ordering toasted tea cake, she waited 40 minutes called the waitress and asked if they had forgotten her. When the tea eventually arrived they had buttered it, the customer complained saying you put the bitter on the side in a dish. Well the trained waitress came over and said she had worked there years and always buttered the tea cake. Omg just bring extra butter out or redo it, and appologise, don't argue. Is it really worth.Just very sad really all round

Good service quality inexpensive food

Popped in for lunch, lovely steak and ale pie, seemed to be home made. Waitress very warm and friendly.

Good service a bit on the expensive side

Reasonably priced cream tea, helpful pleasant staff

We had a lovely tomato and red pepper soup, very enjoyable, excellent service

They were very welcoming and helpful. The French Toast was very nice and a lovely change. I have not seen French Toast on a menu before, so this is the place to come to.

VERY DISAPPOINTED Brought 2 Afternoon tea's as a Christmas present for friends, They went recently and was very disappointed with presention a poor choice cake and sandwiches, choice was very limited, cake was dry as if it had been left for days in a tin, would not recommend afternoon tea for how much they charge,

Bit expensive for what you get. Not good value like Wetherspoons
