The Victorian Tea Rooms in Doncaster

Had afternoon tea here today with a friend. We were there 2 hours had great tea staff regularly asked did we need anything more Really good selection of sandwiches and not over faced with cakes as some places do.. Never once felt in the way even tho we stayed so long. . Great place will definately go again.

I came here to have brunch for a business meeting, I had a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows which was lovely and a toasted tea cake which was also very nice! Not a bad price either and a good variety of things to choose from.

Great, reasonably-priced food. In the summer, it's nice to sit outside on the terrace which overlooks the old walled-garden of the "big house."

This is hardly a place where you could stumble upon it. It is in the grounds of St Catherines Hospital. The menu is well displayed, the food is genuinely good and served by people who seem to care very much about what they do. It is well worth a visit. It is quieter on a weekend when hospital staff are not working.

A very warm welcome to the tea rooms this afternoon. I just had a pot of tea and a toasted tea cake both of which were perfect.Staff very jolly and busy.I will be back with partner for a proper lunch.By the way Tripadvisor the pictures are very out of date, it looks more modern now.

I came here for a business meeting and found it to be the perfect location, lovely surroundings and the tea room was open and spacious. I could see there were other meetings taking place here too. I had a scone with jam and cream which was lovely and a bottle of dandelion and burdock. Only thing I would say is it would have been a nice touch to be given some ice with my drink to keep it cool on a warm day!

A big thank you to Kaye and the team at the Victorian Tea Rooms (cafe flourish ) for the beautiful food for my daughter in law's baby shower this afternoon. Had a room to ourselves in the old library in st Catherine's house. The sandwiches were plentiful with lots of choice. The Scones, Victoria Sponge, and brownies were delicious all home made. Would definately recommend and will be back to the tea rooms to sample some of the other cakes.

Nice tea room. Lovely lunches and cakes. Friendly staff and a really nice atmosphere. Often busy so clearly popular.

My daughter and I always come here. The afternoon tea is superb and the meals and cakes are also excellent.lovely environment which is also dog friendly.

Lovely food. Nice environment and reasonable prices. The walled garden is just behind which is beautiful to look around. Plenty of parking nearby.

Must be totally honest, not enjoying the new look, I personally think the old look was more in keeping with the building and had gentle colour schemes, the new colour scheme is too strong.

Went & had lunch on a whim. The staff were very accommodating finding us a table; which was upstairs. It’s a beautiful looking building outside & in. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas.

Met up with an old friend for lunch here. Have been before and noticed it's a busy little place. Today was no exception. Struggled to get a table. We decided we'd reserve a table on our next visit as it's clear that this lovely venue is becoming the place to go for good quality, home cooked food. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and will return soon

This is a lovely friendly place for lunch. The food is good and the atmosphere is welcoming. We really enjoyed our lunch here followed by a walk in the walled garden. This is set up to be dementia friendly and it is so relaxing. The colours and the scents add to the peaceful feel and there is a shop selling garden gifts and plants. The tea-rooms and garden is well worth a visit. A real hidden gem.

it would appear that it is staffed by volunteers and they do so with efficiency and have a friendly character welcoming all of the visitors

One of the best value afternoon teas you will enjoy anywhere with proper size sandwiches and Victoria sponge. Great setting and traditional tea room atmosphere

Regularly meet here with one or more friends. Simple but very nice food, good coffee and delicious cakes. Also had afternoon tea for a friend's birthday, excellent value for money. Very friendly staff. We love it.

Have visited a few times, lovely food and atmosphere. The only bad thing is that it is sometimes a struggle to get a table because it appears to be so popular.

My friends meet regularly and always the same question "where shall we go?" and usually the answer is "Victorian Tea Room". Warm, comfortable, clean and friendly staff with a good selection of food and drinks and no rush to leave. Give it a try and then walk across to the V & A Antiques. Another little hidden gem!

I've visited here a few times with family members and I've always found the food to be delicious and the staff very friendly. They do the best jacket spuds with plenty of filling and a good sized side salad. Child friendly and dog friendly, set in a beautiful landscaped area.

What a l lovely hidden gem. Friendly staff, lovely setting food was delicious and incredible value. Didn’t have room for a cake but they look really nice. Will be back in the summer to enjoy sitting outside.

What a lovely place, truly recommended, friendly staff, no fuss and lovely food. Husband birthday treat made wonderful!!!

Without doubt Doncaster's best kept secret. Wonderful but simple food, unpretentious,great welcome and sensible prices. If you like scones and clotted cream try it, you will not be disappointed.

What a wonderful place for tea & cake in beautiful surroundings. We had tea & scones outside overlooking the walled garden. It was absolutely delightful; the garden was in bloom & a delight to admire.

Been a few times and it never disappoints. The afternoon teas (booking essential) are by far the best value anywhere in the Doncaster borough and beyond. Can't recommend enough, just check it out go yourself!

On a beautiful sunny day yesterday visited this local gem of a place with its fabulous tea rooms and walled garden. Absolutely wonderful. Tea and cake were do reasonably priced and cake moist and tasty. Tea rooms sells few locally made crafts and preserves also. The walled garden is a pleasure to walk around. Am ordering a couple of beautiful hanging baskets. Never seem better in any other garden centre and prices excellent.

My wife and mother in law Visited today as they had a 2 for 1 voucher for a hot drink and cake....although I'm told they opted for a sandwich as well! Very reasonably priced, lovely grounds, nicely decorated and clean cafe and, so I'm told, very tasty food!

Called in on a cycle ride. The cafe is set in lovely grounds, has a great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. It's a great place for a snack or just a drink; all food is freshly made. Recommended

Have been visiting this gem of an eating place for a few years. Too many people have come to find it. So if you're going for the first time be prepared to have to wait. Xx

Good well made quality food. Very pleasant atmosphere to sit & chat. Will make a point of planning to re-visit when in area.

We visited the Tea Room for a drink and a bit of quiet time this past weekend. St Catherine's house and its grounds now form WoodField Park, which is home to a number of businesses and community enterprises as well as some nice woodlands and a play park.

We had a huge slice of cappuccino cake, berry cake, a tea and coffee. We used a purple voucher so it was only £4 in total. It is a small cafe and welcomes dogs. Would recommend.

As always the food is delicious and my friends and I say it's the best afternoon tea we've had . Always fresh , staff really attentive.

Been going to the tearooms fir a few years now. The staff are lovely and the food is great. It gets so busy now. A real favourite of mine 🤗

Lovely walks around beautiful gardens ,then a delicious choice of food and drink ,well worth a visit

good food ,cakes .drinks .staff are allays upbeat and helpful,great place and location, plus plenty of parking ,

We met up with family for a wonderful afternoon to meet a new baby. The staff were friendly and the tea room was homely and comfortable. We had scones and sandwiches made to order, all delicious. Huge amount of tea was consumed as well.

Discovered this lovely tearoom last year and have visited several times now. All the food is fresh and tasty and very reasonably priced. Pretty gardens and little gifts along with pleasant staff make this lovely tearoom a pleasure to visit.Highly recommend.

We visited today with a toddler and a baby for a coffee and cake. Really lovely selection of delicious looking cakes. I had choc and vanilla and it was yummy. Husband had a teacake. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Pretty surroundings and well decorated. Cant wait to go again

Set in beautiful grounds, the tea room is light and airy, with true Victorian high ceiling. Great coffee and stunning cakes/ scones etc. They also do bacon/sausage sandwiches. Very busy between 12 and 1pm but open until 4pm. Great staff.

had a promotion ticket ,for what a can only describe a first class 5 star must place to go , this tea room is at the top of them all, price... quality... a venue not many would have been to in the doncaster area ,set in st cathrines house just off tickhill rd balby.on the A60 , its just a vwrey nice place to go .........try it ...

Located in the old wood storage room of St Catherine's House, in the ground's of Tickhill Road Hospital, I am a little loathe to 'share' this 'Hidden Gem', however, putting all selfishness to one side - and to ensure this enterprise continues, I have to tell the world - OK, those sensible, laid back, chilled out people, if you enjoy good old fashioned charming tea rooms, then this is an absolute must. I have visited now on numerous occasions, for lunch, afternoon tea and - rarely - just a cuppa, and have never been disappointed. In quiet, beautiful surroundings there really is no better place in Doncaster to enjoy a traditional treat. The prices are extremely competitive - £12.95 for afternoon tea for two with all the usual and more. I recommend you book and after two in the afternoon is a quieter time. Oh, one more thing, which I find very unusual, they're closed on Saturdays.
