The Village Tea Rooms in Maidstone

I can’t rate this place highly enough. We went for lunch today with our two young toddlers. The people there were incredibly accommodating to us and even gave an extra portion of ice cream for free to my little ones! The food was very fresh, beautifully cooked, large portions for all. They were attentive, but not in your face (which we appreciate very much). Very kind and overall a lovely atmosphere. We’ve been several times before, but will definitely keep going. Thanks (By the way, lovely fresh and chunky chips! Better than a lot of chippies round here!)

I’ve loved Headcorn’s village tea room for many years. It’s a classic, unpretentious tea room with good, hearty food at good value for money. It could definitely afford to be pretentious, with its vintage charm, prime spot on the high street and alcohol licence, but the fact it’s stayed true to being an old fashioned tea room makes me love it ever more. I’ll always be a returning customer!

Loveliest tea rooms in a quaint village. Bigger than you think. Great menu with a great choice of cakes which is what we wanted anyway.

Staff are friendly enough, and it’s a lovely place - the art on the walls was a nice touch. They’re clearly overworked though and struggling to get everything out to diners. Food was ok though.

I’ve been going here for many years but not again. The food today was very below average, hard eggs, soggy chips, some food over cooked & this is not the first time it’s been below par. Never have any gluten free bread either so you’ve lost some customers I’m afraid.

A lovely space in a quaint village: the staff are friendly and attentive and the menu is typically English. we had a great time! thank you so much!

My step son his wife and their two teenage children treated my husband and I to a breakfast on Fathers Day. They live in Australia and are here for a visit to family and friends. We were quickly served for hot drinks and soon placed our orders and were very happy once our food arrived we all enjoyed everything we ordered the cooked breakfast was huge and hot the pancakes went down a treat and the scrambled egg and salmon was great. Unfortunately I didn’t realise how big the breakfast was so couldn’t manage to eat all of mine. We were all impressed with the service and food. We will return and try lunch next time. Our waitress was brilliant. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Always had good food and good service here, took my wife there today to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We both had ham salad, and weren't disappointed, really nice thickly cut ham, good presentation, and as always, made to feel so welcome. Food is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. I Don't mind paying for good quality.

Both had different breakfasts which was covered in cooking oil. Unedable and when told the waitress she just said oh and laughed. Won't be going back there. Now have a belly ache alday. Not worth the price either. Place stunk of burning oil. Reused many times I say

I feel the one star is generous. The serving staff deserve at least that. Our meals were average to poor I would have expected more for the price I can only assume there was not a chef in the kitchen or an experienced caterer. Food presentation was very disappointing. Foot was dry and unpalatable We used to visit this cafe often. Today will be the last time for sure.

I was a bit apprehensive as previous reviews were pretty mixed. I am a local motorcyclist and do visit quite a few cafes and tearooms for breakfast (it's what bikers do). I opted for the small breakfast which was actually quite nice. The sausage was more like a chipolata but was very tasty. The egg although had fat on where it hadn't been drained properly but wasn't too bad. I was offered 'bubble and squeak' which was also nice. The toast came to my surprise with a pot of marmalade which was a nice touch. When I went to pay, I was a bit disappointed to be charged £2 extra for the 'bubble and squeak' as it wasn't clear that this was an extra and I think took the price to the same as the full breakfast. At £12.95 it was a little more expensive that what I consider to be a typical price but the food was quite nice. Will I come again? Yes, I will knowing what to expect as I like to visit different places but I will add it to my 'B' list and will try a few other establishments that are close by.

There was a man talking 2 the staff and he was so rude I herd him talking 2 a lady in the bk saying if u was a man I would punch u lucky my wife stopped me getting involved stay away from the tea rooms don’t recommend

Staff were very friendly on arrival. We’ve been to the tea rooms many times before and my husband always had scrambled egg and smoked salmon. Wary of having scrambled eggs as I know they aren’t always very nice when not home cooked I asked my husband if he would recommend, which he Sadly we had to send the eggs back as they were hard, solid, overcooked and rubbery. The waitress was apologetic and took them back. After approximately 10 minutes we were presented with another plate. The eggs were a little less hard, the butter didn’t reach the edge or the toast and the salmon was fridge cold. Very sad, owner or chef has obviously changed and we won’t be going back.

First visit to the Village tea rooms with friends. We all enjoyed our lunch. The food was all freshly prepared. I had a toasted sandwich which was very tasty and the coffee was lovely. We will definitely return. We were not rushed and all the staff were very polite and friendly.

Beautiful food and lovely service - all my friends visit here often so I thought I should try - am so glad I did! The staff cannot do enough and my lunch - homemade lasagne - was an absolute treat. I have tried other places in Tenterden but these tea rooms beat them all - am looking forward to returning for afternoon tea!

Happened to be in Headcorn today, so I popped in the tearooms seeing as I’ve heard so much about it! On arrival , we was approached by a lovely young waitress, who told us to take a seat and would we like any drinks while we was browsing through the menu. They have a huge variety of different food; From breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals. We opted for the Ham, Egg & Chips that comes with a baguette . I was rather disappointed as the ham ,that is supposedly so popular, came out rather chewy and thick. The eggs and chips was okay, edible I would say. And unfortunately the baguette was over baked , if I ate I would have needed to take a trip to the dentist! After eating what I could, another lovely professional waitress, who I presumed was the manager or in charge, cleared my plate and asked if I would like anything else. The homemade cake (coffee + walnut) was delicious! And went down a treat with my vanilla milkshake (made from ice cream!). All of the girls made me feel so welcome and comfortable!! Overall, I will be returning, however next time maybe I’ll go for something else!

Visited today service was lovely all the girls were so polite and kind, service was quick and sufficient, but the was okay could of been better but will be back

I had a lovely lunch - perfect jacket potato about a month or so ago - went back twice recently and really disappointed with the food. First time the jacket potato was terribly undercooked and hard! They assured me it was oven baked but it was almost raw in places. And today opted for the pancakes with a friend and they were incredibly thick and stodgy. Came with a slice of lemon and the pips got into our teeth. They gave us a sugar pourer that didn’t work. We couldn’t eat them it just tasted like raw batter. Plus the orange juice tasted like a budget supermarket brand. Very disappointed- come on Village Tea Rooms up your game we don’t want every to go to Costa!!

Absolutely awful experience I had ordered a hot chocolate drink when it arrived it was just sweet milk on going to pay for it I was told perhaps they dint put enough chocolate in it I was charged full price but had only had 1/3 of it. Will not go back or recommend it 😡

This was our second visit to this Cafe. Both times we have a received a lovely, warm welcome. There was availability both times, no waiting. We were served quickly and the food was very nice. The staff are polite and friendly. I recommend this tea room/cafe. We will return.

Nice central location but closes early and it’s pretty obvious the staff is ready to close. Their conversation was also quite loud and not for public consumption. Just an unprofessional vibe really. The ambience is quite dark and tired.

We can honestly say that we’ve never experienced such awful customer service like we did today. It just got worse and worse from the moment we sat down. Table dirty and wobbly, asked server for children’s menu for my 16 month old and was told there were no menus or vegetarian options for children. We were sat for 20 mins after asking for an Hugh chair and then was told there isn’t any. So our 16 month old had to sit on a wooden chair or our laps. Our (cold drinks) were room temperature. Our food was missing items and when we raised this, the attitude from the staff was shockingly unpleasant. We will never be returning. Awful, avoid!! The staff need some training on professionalism and manners.

Visited today with my friends lovely tea rooms, the young girls are so chatty and polite, food was lovely a lot for the money, service with a smile will be back

Have been many times before and the food has always been mediocre, only reason we kept going back was it was in the middle of where we live so convenient. However after the contempt we were shown today by the 'manager', avoid at all costs unless you enjoy being dismissed and ignored with utter disregard. Cleary do not like children, utterly dreadful experience, never been treated in such a way before! Will never go back to this awful place.

Absolutely appalled by the service by the manager of this place. My very young son was playing very quietly with some toys which another family in the cafe did not like. Instead of talking about it politely and sensibly they instantly complained to the manager. The manager then proceeded to tell off my family despite them not doing anything and then would not listen to them when they tried to explain what had happened. I am staggered at how bad this particular piece of customer service is, it is almost as if they do not want any customers to visit this cafe.

Have never been treated or spoken to in such a condescending way as the manager spoke & treated me today. Have been to this cafe many times and after today will not be returning. AVOID this place it is toxic

Visited at the weekend food took a while to come as they was really busy but was worth the wait food, Front of house staff young girls are lovely and Poilte, people to Néed realise it’s a busy tea rooms, will be returning again

We reserved a table for 4 plus a high chair, was sent (not shown) to a table out the back, with 5 chairs. Had to chase twice for the high chair before it was eventually brought over. We had to chase the staff to take our order, and when it was eventually brought to our table, it was wrong. The food was nice when it arrived, but the front of house really needs sorting. There were lots more staff 'working' than tables occupied, but nobody seemed to really know what they were doing, and they were quite rude. Will definitely not be returning.

I came here a few weeks back as I heard about the homemade chips, which were fantastic! A great recommendation. I decided to come back this morning for breakfast as I was in the area. Young girl serving was great, very efficient and friendly (blonde hair, didn’t catch her name) breakfast ordered promptly. Dining area wasn’t busy. Disappointed with the food quality, tasted as if it had been sat there all morning, bacon like leather, sausage raw in the middle and two fried eggs covered in luke warm beans , ordered brown toast, received white toast. Coffee was great, but lots of opportunities missed! No offer for another coffee, which I would of gladly accepted, no check back to ensure all was ok. Another girl who I saw at the till took the sausage off the bill after I mentioned it …?But just let down by the service and food quality. Such a shame, as it’s a quaint little place.

Just visiting the tea rooms for breakfast had a fantastic breakfast great service great people really worth a visit we will be regulars here now

Frozen fish and soggy chips. Fish described as large but was small. Very disappointing. Service acceptacle

We called in for lunch. The food was tasty and well presented, The portion sizes were ample and very good value for money. The tables were socially distanced and cleaned after every use. Another bonus is that the whole establishment is now dog friendly. On our last visit, dogs were only allowed in the garden. The only gripe I have is that the service could be quicker. Once we had finished our main course we had to go for a staff member to clear the table and take the rest of our order.

We arrived and went to the counter, all the staff members where behind the till and having a general chat and moaning and it was only after their discussion finished they decided to acknowledge us. The waiter came to the table in a timely manner but when we asked if they did soy milk the waiter was quite un reassuring and answered with a “erm I think so” she then took the rest of the order. When she brought the drinks out she put them on the table and didn’t tell us if the drink was made with soy milk, we had to ask. I had what was labelled as a fresh apple juice for £2 but this was a tiny cup with what tasted like tescos own apple juice and looked like dish water the size alone was disappointing for the price.When the food came it looked quite appetising, I had the Chicken Curry and my girlfriend had a tuna baguette. The curry came with Nann bread and mango Chutney this was very nice however the curry wasn’t as good and I was quite disappointed. The sauce had a very odd over powered flavour which made the meal hard to eat. The rice came in a nice compact ball and tasted alright. The tuna baguette was overly stuffed with tuna, we had to take half of it out. The coleslaw was runny and made her feel sick. On top of this not once did anyone check on us to ensure we where happy and the food was nice.We ended up covering out plates with napkins and after 10 minutes of the waiters not noticing us I got up went to the till and after dealing with the same ignorant staff for a 2nd time I paid the bill and left.It’s such a shame as there was so much potential for it to be amazing but terrible service and poor food let us down.

Got to this tea room at 2.55pm to be told No food! They close at 4pm!There was two other couples walk in after us and we all went over the road to another tea room and had some lovely food!They also shut at 4pm!They will have my custom in the future!

Visited the Tea rooms today they was fairly busy as it was bank holiday, but the service and food was absolutely brilliant, the staff are all so polite and friendly, they never disappoint us and we been coming for years, would recommend 100%

Visited the tea rooms today for breakfast was a bit of a wait but the food and staff was absolutely lovely all the young girls and so polite will definitely be back again, best home make cakes.

I’ve never had a problem with this village cafe. I visit fairly regularly. Food always great and service good. It’s all too easy to give bad reviews and not good ones !

Having travelled over 4 hours, my wife and I arrived 40 minutes before advertised closing time to find staffing clearing up. We informed them we had a travelled miles specifically to have afternoon tea (based on previous reviews) only to be rebuffed - “ we are closed” - no empathy or any attempt to accommodate us. So if you are planning to visit - turn up well before closing time.

Never had bad service until today! Shame because this cafe is the heart of headcorn and have always loved it

The Village tea rooms has been a regular haunt of ours everytime we visit Headcorn, however the last few visits we have had issues with being overcharged. On one occasion we were charged extra for coffees even though they were included in the price of the full English breakfast. Therefore now we always tally up what our bill should be before going up and paying. Today when my husband was ordering his food he asked the waitress for cheesy chip instead of the regular chips with his meal, as he has done several times in the past, when the food arrived it came with regular chips plus a portion of cheesy chips separately, when we pointed out this was not what was ordered, the waitress replied 'can't you eat the cheesy chips and leave the plain ones', we asked her to take them away as we didn't want to incur the extra cost due to her error, to which she was clearly not impressed, even though it was her fault. At the end of our meal we went to pay, having tallied up the bill, and was given a price of £3.70 more than it should have been, I explained about the mix up with the chips and was told they had taken them off. When she added it up again I noted that she has an extra order attached to our bill for tea and a coke that were nothing to do with us, thus was obviously someone else's bill that had been stapled to ours, assumingly by mistake, she insisted that we had had the extra drinks, at this point I became frustrated and stated I was only paying for food we had had and not someone else's drinks. At this point she accepted, we paid and left. I'm not writing this review to put people off from eating here because the tearoom itself is very pleasant, especially the garden on a nice day and the food is excellent, however the attitude and the accuracy of some of the staff has a lot to be desired, so the message is, tally up your bill from the menu to avoid being overcharged.

Lovely looking village tea rooms, however waiting 45 minutes for 3 paninis and 3 teas was very annoying.Waitress was very pleasant,and tried to hurry it up but to no avail.A family of 4arrived when we had at last got our food,which incidentally was very tasty,and they left after being told it was an hour's wait.Kitchen needs reorganising to make the most of this valuable village asset

A warm late July lunch time saw my wife and I plus two friends visiting. The place is much bigger than you may imagine. Limited seating at the front outside, a very capacious seating area inside, and more seating outside at the rear. Pleasant waitress showed us to a table at the rear. We collectively ordered a pot of tea for four. Plus an all day breakfast and three lighter lunch dishes. The tea arrived some time before the food. In fact, we had pretty much finished our tea before the food appeared. I did observe some stains on the milk jug. The food was very nice and reasonably priced. I get the impression that they have too few staff for such a large capacity venue and it was very busy when we arrived. All in all though OK.

Staff were friendly and really helpful. We came for the battle of Britain airshow and had breakfast on 3 mornings here. Omelettes were delicious and made freshly. Was a mistake on the 3rd morning, when given omelette with mushrooms and bacon (only wanted bacon) but quickly rectified with a smile. All breakfasts looked and tasted lovely. Excellent service in relation to food allergies. Toilet facilities spotless.Hopefully see you next year.

Let me start by saying that what we ate and drank was very nice and good value for money. However, during our visit both on Sunday, 11th July and the previous Saturday, 3rd July, the same situation happened on both occasions. We ordered the Village Afternoon Tea which comes with 2 scones, jam, cream and a pot of tea. But, the pot of tea and my separate coffee arrived 15 minutes before the scones did. Surely the whole purpose of afternoon tea is to have the tea WITH the scones and not before it. We will return again at some point and if I have to ask for the drinks NOT to be brought out until the food is ready, then so be it. I just wouldn’t expect to have to do that. Oh, and one other thing. The tea cup had a nasty crack running through it. There’s enough germs about at the moment with COVID. Please let’s not add insult to injury

Just visited the village tea rooms in headcorn! Have been a few times a while ago ( before lockdown) it was ok! Went in there today I didn't feel comfortable covid wise. The owner was walking around unmasked! We had our meal it was okish then we had a cup of tea, my cup had a nice lipstick mark left round the cup the waitress changed it for then bought out a cup with a tea line from the last cup, at that point I closed my eyes drank the tea that I'd poured then left. I didn't find it very covid friendly, won't be visiting again.

I recently visited the tea rooms on Saturday, it was fairly busy which is understandable as it’s the weekend, the young waitresses were lovely and food was spot on, would definitely recommend

Very disappointed in our visit to the tea rooms today, on arrival we sat down, ordered our drinks, we got hot chocolates, but the lady walked away too quick for me too say I wanted the works. As she came back literally 5 seconds later I asked for the works, and she huffed and walked back to tell someone and came back too take our food order. We ordered the all day breakfasts and I wanted to swap my tomato for mushrooms, or even just get rid of the tomato (which in most establishments is not a problem, and where I work would always allow swaps) but was told it was an “incidental” and has to be on the plate. My hot chocolate turned up and as I was eating the cream and marshmallows realised the cup was only half full, which I don’t mind, but I paid extra for the works, too lose half my drink. Food arrived and was lovely, a bit bland but was still enjoyable. It then took around 15 minutes after our plates and cups we’re cleared to put our dessert and drinks order in.Desserts were also lovely. But when we wanted to pay we wanted to split the bill, which should never be a problem in the hospitality industry, but was then told “she had already added it up” in a very snarky voice, which then we said we wanted to split it, and the lady was very hostile and looked like she did not want to be there. From working in this industry myself I’m disgusted by the one ladies attitude, as no matter how long you’ve been working or what mood you’re in, you should always serve with a smile on your face, and make your customers feel comfortable. The other younger waitresses were lovely!Also allowing swaps on your food will make people feel comfortable and make them know you care about their needs while in your company, build a bond with customers. Don’t push them away.Won’t be back after this as my family have been regulars here for years, and loyalty definitely isnt rewarded with good service.

I have visited this tea rooms a few time before lockdown and went again last week and was disappointed in the service and food

Came into the village tea rooms for an afternoon tea. There were six of us but there was plenty of food for us all and lots of tea and coffee too. The food was delicious and was presented beautifully. Staff were very friendly and accommodating - I will definitely be back!

Had an afternoon high tea here today, it was so nice.There was six of us and the food was presented lovely and plenty of it (we all ended up taking some home with us) staff friendly, a great tearoom. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Just had a fantastic afternoon tea! I've been in before so I knew the food was great... and the afternoon tea definitely did not disappoint! A great selection of savoury & sweet treats. Great service as well, we never ran out of tea, the staff were very attentive. I would definitely return for the afternoon tea again or for some food off the menu! A really lovely place to eat!

I visited headcorn village tea rooms today with my family we had a lovely pre book afternoon tea, we’ve had one from there before but the one we had today was so much better, it was delicious, the staff was all so lovely and polite, I would highly Recommend to everyone

Headcorn est un village que nous connaissons bien car nous avons logé plusieurs fois à proximité lors de différents séjours dans le Kent.Sa situation (près de la M20 Douvres/Londres) est très intéressante pour une dernière halte avant un retour en France (ou une première en en venant !).Mais c'était la première fois que nous venions dans ce tea-room et nous ne le regrettons pas !Pour ma compagne, ça sera le dernier (et bon) afternoon cream tea (5,55 £) avant longtemps ::-//Pour moi, ça sera une goûteuse quiche aux poivrons (7,95 £).Le tout "arrosé" comme il se doit de thé (1,95 £).Commencé en terrasse (temps lourd et orageux) nous nous rabattus à l'abri aux premières gouttes de l'averse, gentiment aidés par les serveuses.Beau bâtiment extérieur, intérieur plus sobre (plus fonctionnel "qu'architectural").

This is the second time a visit to Headcorn found us eating at this place. We were not disappointed. Although we had not booked the lady who greeted us was happy to find us a table (lucky as a family was just leaving) - she cleaned it thoroughly and settled us providing a menu and a very pleasant attitude. She made sure we were comfortable and offered us a chance to order drinks before we selected our food. Even after ordering the food it was in front of us before we had finished our drink. Totally enjoyed Ham Egg and Chips which was a generous portion and I could not finish. Ask for a cup of tea and you get a pot. Service with a definite smile (albeit covered by face mask). All the tables had hand sanitizer and we were invited to make full use of it. I could not fault the service and the staff and yes I would definitely go there again.

Wow! Amazing afternoon “high tea” thoroughly recommended Lovely variety of delicate sandwiches, salmon, egg and cress, Han and mustard and of course cucumber Together with the most perfect mini quiche, mini cupcakes, coffee and walnut cake, 2 scones each with cream and jam and the best macaroons I have every had! Together with a bottomless pot of teaThere was more than enough for us, so much that we took some away with usThe staff were all lovely and very welcoming This lovely tearoom is well worth going out of the way for. I would rate higher than 5* if I was able to Thank you Kelly and the rest of the team for an enjoyable visit!

We hit this tea rooms by chance and it has now become a firm favourite! We never fail to stop here on our way to Maidstone for their superb eggs benedict. Their menu is quite extensive and with some wonderful meals, I believe there is something for every taste on it. The staff are very friendly and are taking the Covid guidelines seriously by all staff wearing face masks or visors in public places, providing hand sanitiser on every, well spaced out table, the constant cleaning of the tables and chairs and even supplying disinfect wipes in the toilets. It feels a very safe, pleasant place to stop and eat in these strange, worrying times.

I stopped here for brekkie on the way to The a Big Cat Sanctuary. This is a tardis with a small shop front but goes back a long way. Very well thought out social distancing with sanitisers on each well spaced table and markings on the floor. The service was very friendly and efficient and I had the veggie brekkie (small) which was 1 egg, 1 quorn sausage, mushrooms, tomato and beans. Choice of brown or white toast on the side served with butter and marmalade. My breakfast was perfectly cooked and very tasty. I would recommend the tea rooms. It’s rightly very popular.

I have had breakfast there with friends a few times and it is always very good. I like their big breakfast and when I have it I don't have to eat again until our evening supper. The food and service are very good, but the restaurant is a bit dated but it's clean and comfortable. I will go there again next time I'm in the area.

Excellent food, lovely staff. Best stop for miles around for coffee and cake. First choice for breakfast stop.

Went here with my wife for lunch. I had a fry up and my wife had chilli con carne.You can’t go wrong whatever you order here,good portions, good price and very good staff.The only thing I can complain about is the undesirables that frequent this place, always loud, rude , kids running about wildly and they seem to think it’s ok to steal from the drink fridge also the kids putting there fingers in the cakes, so I would advise against having any of them.

Called in on the off chance for lunch and I am glad that we did. In these unusual times, this is a safe place to eat. The staff wore masks (and customers were asked to wear them in the public areas). Social distancing is clearly marked on the floor. There's plenty of hand sanitiser available (there is even a bottle on each table). Other than that, the menu gives a good choice, the staff are very friendly and helpful and it is dog friendly (ours was even given her own bowl of water).

Great menu for a family / couple / group of friends. My children love having brunch - superb menu. Eggs Benedict is a must-have. Great range of lunch options. Also brilliant for afternoon tea. Friendly staff, clean and spacious, quick service.

Enjoyed a very reasonably priced lunch (eat out offer - but would have been good value at full price). Delicious sandwiches, very clean cafe, good service.

Went for breakfast today with my wife and son, and as always the food and service were great!Obviously, the coronavirus situation has necessitated a number of changes, and these were also spot on - screens between tables, sanitiser available on each table, staff wore masks etc.It's important to feel safe during these unusual times. We certainly did so, and will happily return again whether or not the current restrictions remain in place. Thank you for a great meal!

Just popped into the village tea room in Headcorn for breakfast. Was a bit unsure of going out toeat (first time since lockdown). I needn’t have worried. The tea rooms were spotless with hand gel on each table and glass partitions. The staff were friendly and I would throughly recommend that you go and enjoy a meal there in the knowledge that you are in safe hands.

Small frontage, but once you get inside, its massive. Lovely garden. Cream tea and coffee was the best I've had in years.

We have visited many times in the past, pre virus, and have always been very satisfied. This our first visit since lockdown. Very impressed with the efforts made to encourage social distancing, hand sanitiser etc. Staff were gloved and masked up, stood away to take your order, and gave a choice between paper cups, plates etc, or sterilised cutlery and crockery. We chose the latter, ordered a pot of tea, one bacon and one sausage sandwich. Both delicious. Will return on our way back. Well done to all.

Visited tearooms in early March 2020 before lockdown and was very disappointed with the service and the owner who came to see us was very rude little man,and I will not be going back in near future

Called in for tea and scones and just managed to get a table as we coincided with some people leaving. Our scones were lovely and the place had a nice atmosphere. It took a little time to take our order but this was fine as the place was very busy and we weren't in a rush. The place is full of art which is all for sale. The food was lovely and the prices reasonable.

So I recently visited the tea rooms with my friends on Saturday we was just passing through and stopped, so happy we did, the food was lovely, there was a little wait on the food but That’s understandable as they was really busy, the girls were really polite and managed to find us a table, would definitely recommend and will definitely be back again.

We've been here on several occasions as my nanny likes it here, but never again.I've never felt so unwelcome in somewhere that I'm spending money! They didn't welcome us, we're rude throughout the entire process of ordering and waiting for our food (even making rude comments about us and rolling their eyes from behind the till) and then they cleaned up around is, leaving a stinking mop and bucket by my side to continue the job when we left.If we hadn't been so hungry we would have left immediately, as it was we ate as quickly as we could and got out of there.We think they were annoyed they had to continue working, but as we arrived 50 minutes before closing and we were gone by twenty five minutes to I don't know what their problem was.Great food, horrible women, we will never be back.

I used to think this place was ok, we had been in for tea a few times in the past. However, having recently had cause to see around the rear door of the premises what did I see?, all the staff were standing smoking over the recently delivered food! Ehh!,never will we visit this place again.

Ham, egg & chips proper ham off the bone free range eggs hand cut double fried chips and all the girls are lovely (The breakfast is pretty special too)

An interesting tea rooms with a friendly atmosphere. Service very good and quick. Nice choice of meals. Food came quickly and was very tasty. Good value for the large portions. Will definitely return

Breakfast here is super. Lovely staff understood the challenges of gluten free diners. Tucked into bacon,eggs, hash brown, mushrooms , tomato’s and beans absolutely delicious, freshly cooked and excellent quality. My other dining companions also had “normal” breakfasts which were equally delicious and they ate their food with as much enjoyment and relish as I did. Very clean premises would highly recommend.

We booked an afternoon tea for my mums 60th birthday and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The sandwiches were lovely and there were so many cakes and scones we couldn’t eat them all so they boxed them up so we could take them home. All of the food we saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious and we will definitely be back in the new year for lunch

We were visiting the area and was looking for a dog friendly eatery. Not only are these Tearooms Dog Friendly but also very people friendly also with happy, attentive and friendly staff who made us feel at home even with 2 Dogs.Great food, reasonable prices and highly recommended to visit (with or without a dog) and we will certainly be back whenever we are in the area.

First visit today for breakfast. Ordered Eggs Benedict which I had never tried before. The yolk of the eggs were golden yellow. Amazing. We will definitely be returning to this lovely Tea Room.

Have visited The Village Tea Rooms in Headcorn three times over the past few months and not been disappointed. Good variety of meals and snacks on the menu to suit all tastes. Food is fresh and well presented and good value money. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

As usual we had a wonderful lunch served by friendly welcoming staff in a very relaxed atmosphere. Thats why we are regulars here and on a lovely sunny day they have a very pretty garden to sit in.

Very good food, and the vegetarian options add good variety to the menu for my cousin. Lovely breakfast all round.

Amazing food and great service , staff very friendly and are always very welcoming . Love it for a lunch time on my own

we attend the tea rooms every week, the food is always hot and the starff are very friendly and helpfull, the restaurant is very well set out with tables and chairs in a large open plan even some outside, Its a pleasure to have lunch here.

We visited 2 weeks,ago for afternoon Tea for my husbands birthday with our 3 year old son. I had booked in advance and we had a reserved table by the inglenook fire place. We were served quickly and staff were friendly and polite. The Tea had a lovely selection of cakes, we especially liked the victoria sandwich. staff were attentive and checked we had everything and all was ok. The tea rooms has a lovely friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

Coffee and cakes - excellent. Very good and quick service. Lots of amazing artwork and things to buy

I have visited the team rooms many times on my own or with work colleagues and I can say, the team serve up the best Breakfast in Kent and Sussex.. and I have had a few!! Also, amazing fudge cake, warm with ice cream. Superb!

We often pop into the tea rooms if we are in the area. The staff are so lovely, and very attentive. The food is always so good, it’s always made fresh which just makes it that bit more delicious. Our dog is always welcome, he is always given a friendly hello which he loves and is never without a fresh bowl of water. There is beautiful local artwork on the walls, which is lovely to have a little browse.

Absolutely outstanding food yet again! This is our second visit this week!! The service is always prompt and with a smile. And the food, comes out within a reasonable time, is always fresh and tastes amazing!!

Went today for a quick lunch and had one of the best and largest Ham and cheese omelette . Service within minutes of sitting down highly recommend

A great place for lunch (closes 4.30pm). From the outside I got the impression it was a small tea-time establishment, but was wrong. They do serve fantastic teas, but they also have an extensive lunchtime menu, with wine list. The place is much larger than it first appears, as it has a large rear dining room and a cute outside dining area for brighter days. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. I would be happy to go back and try another dish.

This restaurant is larger than it appears from the outside but very popular so may appear full up! Don't be put off. The food is generous and very well presented. Menu is definitely more like a cafe than restaurant but the menu has a variety of delicious salads, sandwiches,quiches and more including all day breakfast. Service is good, standards excellent and prices reasonable. There is also a small, delightful garden for "better-weather" days. We will return.

The all day breakfast was delicious with fresh ingredients used. My fiancé had the breakfast omelette which she was happy with. The secret garden out the back was a lovely surprise and great surrounding to enjoy such a wonderful breakfast.

My family and I love this place! Lovely tea rooms with delicious food- my personal favourite is the sausage baguette and chips (THE best!!). It’s a great family owned place and you can tell everything is homemade. Can get quite busy at lunch times!!

We were exploring one day & stopped for afternoon tea. The cream tea was absolutely delicious! 2 large homemade scones, generous portions of jam & proper clotted cream, & a pot of tea for 2 that seemed endless! The tea cups were pre-warmed too. Staff are polite, smiley, & friendly. It was busy & the back room was loud, but we sat in the front parlour & it was very pleasant, with quaint decor. Definitely going to revisit!

A lovely place to visit,food is excellent have visited it a numerous times and never had a problem.Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Popped in on the way through. We got scones and clotted cream. They were very tasty and reasonably priced. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. Busy spot. No complaints.

I remember coming here as a child and getting a hot chocolate which was always the best, I recently revisited today and noticed that there have been some changes such as more tables and an outside “secret” garden, which although there was no tables outside we happily went inside. The menu has a range of classics along with a range of drinks. We had the breakfast which was great value and made with quality ingredients. I especially liked the fact there was an option of beans or mushrooms. The service was fast and all staff members were friendly. I would happily recommend this to anyone.

I came in at lunchtime expecting to be too late for a breakfast fry up, and was told they serve breakfast all day. They sat me down as soon as I entered, and my order was taken straight away. My food came out in less than 5 minutes and it was the best breakfast I’ve had in years. The portions were a good size and was a good size tea pot too. Came to less than £20 for the two of us for a breakfast each and a pot of tea for 2. Would recommend to everyone if near Headcorn.

We came here for lunch before we visited the big cat sanctuary. It was a random tea room it is quite large even though from the front it looks small we originally sat outside we asked for a high chair they only had booster seats which looked like they have been around since the 80’s it was completely unusable for a ten month old it would more suit a 3 year old that couldn’t quite reach the table. Luckily we brought our travel high chair so we used that instead. When ordering the lady at the counter checked that the person who ordered a prawn baguette wasn’t allergic to prawns!? (Surely they wouldn’t order if they were?) we were also told that if it starts spitting with rain they won’t bring our food outside so being a mixed weather day we decided we best move in so we would receive our food! The baguette was nice, home made chips were greasy. The interior was dated but clean. Wouldn’t rush back but filled a hole.

Soon as I walked in staff looked very stressed I later found out that the owner who was walking round shop smoking a cigarette with a face like thunder I will not be visiting their again !!! Even if food was free !!!!
