Thrussington Village Store in Charnwood

Sadly disappointed by our brunch here. You had to order at the till but the lady at the till had no idea what was on menu or how to operate till - leaving a long queue. I ordered smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. After 10 mins the waitress told me there was no smoked salmon. I opted for bacon instead. The eggs were really dry and overcooked and cold and the bacon greasy - expected better for £7.50. Had to order toast separately - £2.50 - it was delayed as the toaster was broken and then came smothered in butter - would have liked to butter the toast myself.

We have visited the tea rooms several times during our weeks stay in Thrussington, to enjoy the tea room and the goodies in the shop. Certainly the best pot of tea we have had in a while and the food, ingredients sourced locally, just excellent. Thank you.

Wanted to get out of the city and get some lunch. It's a lovely spot in the middle of the attractive historic village. Comfortable seating area at back of the deli type shop, with a fairly simple menu. That simplicity means it needs to be very good, and it is. Clearly well sourced ingredients, nicely presented and with sauce combinations in sandwich fillings that elevate them above the standard.

We thought that we could go for some provisions as well as a coffee and cake. The cafe was only doing take outs or sitting at a small pavement table which we can appreciate at the moment but the store was tastefully laid out but very limited provisions other than selected deli items, possibly suitable for a treat.

I bought a toasted teacake from the takeaway counter. It arrived in a sealed box. Upon opening box it was burnt to a crisp, dripping in butter. Avoid

Just moved to the village, great village store/cafe and all staff are very smiley and friendly. The food is all homemade and tastes amazing!

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, extremely well presented and very tasty. Have also had coffee here which is very good. Staff very welcoming and efficient and atmosphere very nice.

Very good as always, food great especially the Thrussington sandwich and the service always pleasant.

This was our first visit to the village store and we were not disappointed. Such a cosy cafe and deli in Thrussington. We went for the full English breakfast which was delicious. The rest of the menu had some sweet treats and yummy lunch options too. Well worth a visit.

On the day we visited they had not made soup, so my plan of the soup and sandwich special was scuppered. I instead opted for a breakfast toastie (breakfast is sold all day), filled with bacon, egg, tomato and mushroom, which was good. The raspberry press was a good cold drink option. It is a nice little place to eat and catch up with friends, quite unrushed. At the front is the little deli shop - fresh cakes included lemon drizzle, Victoria sponge and brownies. All this in a lovely setting - Thrussington is a bit of a picture postcard village.

Thrussington is very lucky indeed to have such a pleasant shop and cafe. We went as a family with our young grandson. We were welcomed warmly into this delightful tearoom and little Thomas had plenty to entertain him with a good selection of wooden toys and games. Despite our being the only family there (it was mid-afternoon), the long time we had to wait for our meal made it hard to keep our little one entertained. We had been warned of a short delay but it seems that Thrussington minutes are longer than those the rest of us use! When it arrived, however, the food looked lovely it was clearly all freshly prepared. The baked potato was lovely and generous and the tomato soup was fresh in taste, but in need of herbs and seasoning. What wasn’t so wonderful was when we left and decided to buy some of the delights from the small deli itself. The choice is small but it is of the highest quality yet, oh my, it took forever and a day to be served. We were the only ones buying, too, until a local couple came in and they were given precedence over us, adding even more delay.

Stopped for lunch here on the way to Ragdale Hall spa, which is just down the road. Very welcoming. Delicious homemade soup, cake and coffee. Lovely things to buy in the shop - picked up a couple of birthday cards and gifts. Very friendly.

I like to change pace on a long journey and this tea place is exactly what I need. Less than a Mike’s detour. Quick service. Shop for purchasing ingredients for supper when one gets home. Enjoy the village even on a very short stop. The village green Would probably work as a place for a restless family to break a long journey.

Great lunch after a nice walk to clear the cobwebs. As always Ben, Jo and the team really looked after us. The Thrussington special sandwich & the soup are always a great choice.

Food very good as usual and the friendly team make it a pleasure as always. Ideal place for morning, afternoon or early evening and the recently extended seating area makes it a really bright open place to eat. Well done Ben, Jo and the team!

After visiting this tea room in a friends local village I am amazed to find the prices they charge. Nearly £8.00 for a sandwich and over £2.00 for a tea. As a pensioner I can’t believe how they get away with this.

Really nice place, friendly, clean & food spot on. Just what you need. Tea served in China cups too! 😉

We started a walk from the village and decided to meet for a cup of tea first in the village store. The choice of both tea (tea pigs) and coffees was fantastic and we had a good natter before heading off. When we returned to the village, we went back to the store and bought some excellent home made goods and provisions. Great facility.

lovely little gem that's just been extended. Well done Ben and Jo. Warm friendly atmosphere. Good traditional food you'd expect in a country village that exudes good taste.

Stopped off in this village and enjoyed a lovely coffee in this very sweet village delicatessen. Very warm welcome. Some lovely foods and wines in stock... artisan bread was delicious! Hope this shop is supported by the local community to keep open.

This is a true gem in the lovely village of Thrussington, Leics. This is so conveniently positioned for the 4 of us visiting Ragdale Hall Spa - 10 mins away. We stayed in the holiday flat above the deli and not only shopped for lovely cheeses for late night snacks but also had amazing breakfasts each day. The very friendly Jo and Ben run a fabulous deli/tearoom/accommodation and it's definitely one on the list for a return visit next time we head back to Ragdale.

We visited Thrussington Village Store today for the first time and we so enjoyed the delicious cauliflower cheese soup and cheddar cheese and onion chutney sandwich. What heaven to have a real large pot of tea and proper China cups. The lady who served our food was really friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and we loved the Alex Clark cards and posters. A memorable day and we will definitely be back to try some of the other treats available.

I found this little cafe in the village of Thrussington courtesy of Trip Advisor, as I wanted to meet up with my daughter as she lives outside of Nottingham so it was about halfway for us each of us.

This was our first visit, to this tea room (2nd Sept 2017), and was pleasantly surprised!

Good quality scones with Cornish cream and proper jam, proper coffee, fabulous selection of cheeses but no space on the bike, freshly made sandwiches also on offer.

Popped in to buy some bread before heading home. Offers a good selection of local produce, as well as being...

Not just food but cards, nick-knacks and a small cafe. Right opposite the village green and across the road from The Star - this really is a small village. Small villages and nice people seem to go hand in hand in this part of the world. Don't leave Thrussington without popping in.

Visited for the first time and found that the selection of items to order from the menu was good and they are also adaptable. Building works going on near the café and at the moment you have to use the loo at the lovely pub across the road. the food we had was nice but feel that when all the building works are completed the environment will be very much better. Selection of Hambleton bread was very nice. Not too impressed with the service at the table, when we had finished our sandwiches we were not asked if we wanted a cake etc, plates taken away without a word of how we liked it etc...? Will revisit in a few months time when works completed

Muy útil para tener una tienda de pueblo pero este es aún mejor, ya que funciona como una tienda y una cafetería. Queso bonito y artículos de supermercado, y una agradable sala de estar con té y pasteles eran. Merece la pena echarle un vistazo.

My daughters and I visit the village store frequently. I cannot fault it! The food is locally sourced and of the highest standard, lovely drinks, delicious homemade cakes, fantastic deli selection and the most lovely, friendly staff you could wish for!

We have always received a warm welcome and excellent food and service. Today was no exception. We enjoyed afternoon tea comprising of plentiful tea, finger sandwiches, home made scones with wonderful strawberry jam and clotted cream to be followed by homemade brownies and Hambleton bakery pecan buns. The eating area and kitchen are currently being expanded( although you would be unaware of this). We eagerly anticipate the greater range of hot food that this will facilitate.

After reading the review's, I took my wife for a surprise afternoon tea on Saturday and was taken back by the shop/cafe setting in front of the village green, quality of food was excellent and impressed by the small array of items on sell in the shop. Will recommend the cafe/village store to all

£8 for 2 very thin pieces of cheese, half a slice of ham and 4 slices of dry salami, a quarter of an apple and 5 grapes, one slice of bread, I call that overpriced.

On the strength of a trip advisor Email received this morning my wife and I decided to brighten up a miserable day by taking afternoon tea.The place is very tastefully decorated and fitted out with a small retail section and a quality Deli section.Local produce featured prominently.The staff were very attentive and friendly obviously enjoying their work.Although not a restaurant as such a good range of café/tea room meals were available.The scones were the best I have had in Leicestershire !! There is a good selection of greeting cards with excellent graphics and obviously carefully scourced.The same applies to the small range of gifts which were reasonably priced.A little Gem and a valuable enterprise which is obviously doing well.Power to your Elbow !!!

Travelling south from Nottingham on our way home from a business trip, I told my husband to turn left into the village of Thrussington, and oh boy were we glad we did. Lovely looking village and into the village store we went. A pot of tea for tea and a sandwich each. Bone china tea pot, cups, saucers and sandwich plates. Sandwiches had fresh and quality ingredients. Try the Thrussington special sandwich....mmmm. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Attached deli store sold wonderful and interesting items.

Super tea room in village shop selling wide range of locally produced breads, meats and cheeses as well as essentials, greetings cards and gifts.Good range of home made hot and cold snacks, cakes and specials.Very friendly service in an equally friendly community setting. Well worth the visit and nice and easy local walks nearby to burn off those calories.

This is a very well stocked deli with many goods you don't find in a lot of shops. The bread is amazing and comes in daily from the bakery. There is a small cafe serving soup, snacks and lovely home made cakes. This shop is well worth a visit to the small village of Thrusington.

Just love coming here for the lovely atmosphere and friendly owners and it has to be said that two of the most delicious food items I have ever eaten are on offer here: stilton & chilli jam toastie, and pecan buns (which can also be bought to take away!) Really easy to find and only minutes off the A46.

Quaint local deli with mismatched china teacups and plates. Lovely home baking and freshly made sandwiches. Deli itself offers a great range of local produce with lovely cheeses, breads and cold meats

A lovely family run business which is perfectly situated in Thrussington village and is a great asset for the village. 10 of us had afternoon tea here and it was delicious. £15.95 for two is reasonable priced. You get a few sandwiches, salad and crisps which are freshly made and tasted good. Plus a giant scone (probably the best scone I have tasted) with pots of jam and clotted cream. Small slice of Victoria sandwich and chocolate brownie. All tasted delicious. Service is fab and we felt looked after and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend.

Excellent staff great service. Sells nearly everything you need and services really nice food. Homemade bread local foods cheese and meat really good.

family of seven going there today our group gets bigger everytime we go there ... lovely tea rooms great food and pleasant

Having read reviews popped in en route to picking up my sister in law from college nearby. Lots of fresh veg & an amazing amount in the little shop & deli. They do my favourite Stilton. We had ploughman's & a cream tea with proper clotted cream & real jam with big chunks of strawberry just a shame we had to get to the college!

Having visited weekly for a couple of years and having thoroughly enjoyed the coffee, sandwiches, soup and cakes etc., I spotted a regular eating a delicious looking ploughman's and decided to give it a go.Wow! Delicious locally produced pork pie, ham, Stilton and farmhouse red Leicester backed up with a selection of pickles and salad etc. from the deli/shop. It almost caused my vegie girlfriend to take up eating meat!

Much needed village shop run by an enthusiastic young couple. They have developed a good and well used café within the shop. OK it is more expensive than a supermarket and this is expected of a small shop. The basics are stocked as well as the excellent local products such as meat from "Vinnys of Ashfordby” and bread from "The Hambleton Bakery" and yogurt from Manor Farm in Thrussington

I have been several times and always the food has been great and the service great too. I always end up with a bag full of items from the deli too.

My dad lives in thrussington, and the shop has really brought a heart back to the village.The family that run it are so lovely and friendly, always welcoming. They have homemade cakes on offer, sandwiches and soups, as well as a selection of fresh, local produce on sale. Worth a visit if you're in the area!

Very cute shop, local produce, handy for milk and birthday cards! Also have a café next door which serves excellent sandwiches.

Our first time at the village store ,, we had Afternoon Tea... ,,really lovely.. Lovely deli counter too. We will be back..

We popped in when we were staying in Thrussington for a wedding, and the scrambled egg and smoked salmon brunch hit the spot - perfectly cooked, and just the right amount, served with local bread and a cup of tea.

A lovely place to pop in for evening tea or during a Sunday morning walk. Always welcoming and great selection of meals and snacks, plus the deli of local produce. It's become a regular treat these days but definitely worth exploring.

I had a wonderful lunch here with a good friend!! Excellent customer service and a great little shop to get a few bits in after we ate!

Get your home made cake and bread here or have afternoon tea here. Also sells papers for the morning.

Having made our (almost) weekly visit on our way from Leicester to Southwell we are starting to feel like we are almost part of the village life and I couldn't resist writing another well earned review.Great sandwiches, soup, cakes and drinks, friendly service, open until 19.00 and about a minute from the A46:- I can't praise it enough.

This lovely little deli is quite a hidden gem and great to come across in the sleepy village of Thrussington. A good range of local as well as national deli products, as well as local produce and a lovely little café with fantastic cakes too - a hidden gem!

Well, it started with a coffee then we looked at the menu . . . Soup smelt good, we didn't resist! We sat, we chatted, during which time we were asked if we were ok, would we like anything else? We would, we did! Latte, cappuccino and a Thrussington special hot chocolate oh and cake!We walked back to Rearsby, ( to walk off the cake!) If you are walking ( or driving ) nearby, well worth a visit So good to have such a lovely place locally, Thank you :)

My girlfriend loves it here and she is very hard to please. Enough said. It is open until 19.00 which is a bonus.

Lovely atmosphere. My friend and I met here for a late working lunch bite. The couple who own and run it worked so hard. tasty sandwiches, plenty of garnish, fab real home made cake that she had made, proper cups of tea out of a proper old fashioned teapot. Nothing was too much trouble. A real treat. The store sld quality food stuffs and things you would run out of. The village is very rural and this store is just the right thing. Hope it lasts and the locals support it.

Stopped in early one morning after breakfast at the Star Inn 1744 (right across the street.) Lots of interesting specialty items, greeting cards, fresh veggies, baked goods, and more. If we hadn't already eaten, we would have tried their interesting breakfast menu.

A great teashop with a fantastic selection of homemade cakes. The scones are to die or and there is a child friendly atmosphere with a hidden corner full of toys and books so mums can enjoy some peace. All the staff are welcoming and friendly and the cheese and bread selection is unfortunately far too good, well too good or my waistline! Well worth a stop off.

As we were early for our arrival at Ragdale Hall drove arround and came upon this little jem it was full a good sign and we had lovely fresh brewed coffee and freshly prepare sadwiches a delightful find

Great store, much more than a deli but you can also get those special bits! If you're driving through call in for sure

Pulled off the A46 expecting to have to go to a pub for a coffee and sandwich and found this delightful cafe instead. It doules as the village store and delicatessen and the friendly owner could not do enough for us.
