Tutbury Tea Room in East Staffordshire

We visited Willows (previously Tutbury Tearooms) for lunch. There was a good selection of meals, snacks and drinks on the menu, although there didn’t seem to be a children’s menu. The cafe was comfortable and nicely decorated. The food was nice, but very expensive. £9.75 for a jacket potato with cheese (plus £1.50 for each additional topping) is far too much!!! My son had two potato waffles with grated cheese and baked beans, which cost £9.99!!! We left feeling negative due to this and are unlikely to return.

Arrived at 11.25am went to till to order 2 breakfast etc to be told by one of three staff standing around ‘we only do breakfast till 11.30’ I know you employ young cheap staff - however it’s a false economy if they are literally costing you money. Very rude staff he didn’t even look at the clock, no apology no ‘I’ll go check’. There was an event in the high street and it was rammed and this place was empty! Luckily we found a bakery further down the road (where the crowd was). Cakes there were delicious I’d recommend you pop there!

Visited 15.07.23 for tea/coffee and cake and we were very impressed. The teas was served properly (loose leaf in a pot) so there was enough for a few cups. The homemade carrot cake was lovely and light and a good portion size, the ice cream was very creamy and again, a fair portion size. We had coffee, tea, cake and ice cream and the whole lot came to just over £12, so really good prices. I have no idea why people on tripadvisor think this place is expensive, it's far more reasonable than many local places. The tea rooms is pretty and has a few different areas to choose from - We seated ourselves (again, no idea why others have complained about seating areas, you sit where you want). The staff were polite and friendly. We really enjoyed the visit and will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Just had a hot drink, looked at the prices on the menu and decided to not buy any food - very pricey in our opinion. It's not exactly the Ritz so not exactly expecting to pay Ritzy prices. I feel there are much nicer and more reasonable tearooms in Tutbury.

the food was disgusting cold staff was rude disrespectful worse tearooms in tutbury the manger shouyld close it down

Called in after a walk around Tutbury, was greeted by 2 staff members who wanted to seat us at the far end of the cafe, away from all other customers and adjacent to the tea room toilets. I’m unsure if this was because we had our sleeping 7 month old granddaughter with us in a pushchair, may of been on health + safety grounds to keep the pushchair safely out of the way but this wasn’t explained to us. I asked to be seated elsewhere as I didn’t want to sit next to a toilet but was told by one of the staff members that that was the only seating available, even though the whole of the rear end of the tea room was empty. After a rethink by the staff we were offered a different table, was given a colouring book and crayons (for a 7 month old) and had a highchair placed at our table just in case she woke up. She didn’t wake up and the highchair was placed in a completely inaccessible place at the table even if she had of done. The food served to us was ok but expensive and I felt that I had to give a tip as the person on the till asked me to read a notification prior to paying on the card machine. It asked for a 10/20/30 % donation, the service was fine however the welcome we initially received wasn’t. All in all a bizarre experience and we left with the impression that they aren’t inclusive of customers with babies/children/pushchairs. Easily solved, we won’t visit again and won’t recommend.

A "Ploughmans lunch" at 8.95 was in fact a deconstructed cheese and ham baguette, featuring a tablespoon of grated cheese, three pieces of thin ham, the tiniest pot of chutney I have ever seen that had it been any smaller would be classed as a thimble and three tiny silverskin pickled onions. Would have been fairly priced at less than a fiver. My wife had a toastie that was ok but again at 8.95 was about 50% too expensive. Certainly wont be going again. Coffee was good though.

Stepped into the tearoom and Shown to a table. Would’ve preferred to be given a choice of where to sit as the room was empty. The coffee and sandwiches we ordered were fine, no complaints there. The decor is very English tearoom and we’ll presented/clean. The other side ‘garden room’ is rather naff looking and could do with a revamp. The paper cloth on our table had tea stains/cup rings on it - horrible. A proper cloth or none at all would look better. The girl serving was straight on everyone who walked in… walk round this way, don’t touch the cakes (although they were wrapped), told a family they couldn’t put 2 tables together to seat them all… It did not make for a pleasant, relaxing environment to be in as we felt uncomfortable and couldn’t wait to leave. I can see the tearoom has been on it during the pandemic but needs to loosen up a bit now and really think how they present to customers walking in. We may try again in the future but for now will go elsewhere.

I visited recently with friends and we ordered a pot of tea for two and 2 toasted tea cakes. We were shocked at the prices. I appreciate we should have checked the price list first but even so..I do think £13 for two tea cakes and a pot of tea is very pricey so we won’t be returning.

We called in for lunch. The food, surroundings and service was excellent. The food and drink menu suited our requirements well. The food was well very nicely prepared and presented and arrived in good time. The staff were very friendly without being over attentive. The surroundings were tasteful and quaint, perfect for a tea room. My tea was made with real tea leaves in a tea pot with tea strainer and served in a lovely porcelain tea cup.

Drove from Nottingham to Tubury to go to this cafe because the food is good. Arrived at 2.45 pm to be told that due to lack of staff they were closing early?They close at 4pm? There were three staff and three of us and no other customers and no sign that the place was shutting up.? Such a shame as we really like this place but even when we told them we had driven from Notts to give them our custom they would not relent. Not good in times of won't.

A plentiful afternoon/high tea with freshly made sandwiches, fresh scones and a small mountain of cake! Everything was perfect, tasty and very nice. The service was fantastic, efficient, and smooth. It was a family catch-up for 7 people and nothing was too much trouble. All appropriate hygiene measures were in place and well managed. We would happily go again and enjoy a very special treat. Thank you.

I have been using this cafe for sometime but their new pricing is ridiculous , firstly with cakes the price you see is not the price its the take away price , Sorry this is a cafe where you sit down , so if like me you see a nice cake priced at £3.00 you need to add 90p for it to be brought to the table . So today a cake and a coffee was over £7 , this is clearly a cafe that does not want to stay in business long. Great shame as it is a nice cafe

My friend and I visited the tearooms for a coffee and slice of cake. On sitting down at the table we noticed the table was sticky, there was a musty smell in the tearoom and there were dead flies in the window in between mini picnic tables with small dolls house China cups on. Eventually we had our order taken by a young girl who didn't know what a cafetiere of coffee was. The coffee tasted like the cheapest blend you could buy in the supermarket, it was truly awful. We were very disappointed with the quality of the cakes, they were clearly several days old as they were not moist at all and crumbled to oblivion on the plate. My friend had a chocolate brownie and could have done with a hacksaw to cut it! Needless to say, we didn't finish our cakes or coffee's, paid and left. We would have complained at the time but the staff all vanished into the back and the rest of the cakes on display looked just as old and dry. This experience has totally put us off from returning to this tea room.

Called today for a coffee, sat outside no one came so went to order, waited outside while staff stood talking eventually a nice young lad took my order, when it came it was like warm milk hardly the latte I ordered he asked if I could pay now as I was outside, no problem, he asked for £3.60, I quiered this as it said £3 on the list in the window, £3 for takeaway or outside seating, the girl who came rushing out talking over me to other staff member said that was old and it's now £3.60 to which I said it shouldn't be in the window advertising £3 so suggesting she take it down, I paid the £3.60 for the warm milk (supposedly latte) I will not return to the OVER PRICED CAFE, with the RUDE staff member ( not the young man) apparently there's a really good cafe round the corner which I will be using from now on.......

During second lockdown, ordered an afternoon tea for my mum. Mum is a harsh critic but she couldn't recommend the cakes enough. They were homemade, a selection of 4 different cakes, quiche, sandwiches. They were an absolute delight, and mums a home baker so she knows a good sponge. Service was professional and very responsive

We live in pool and we’re visiting friends in the village,I didn’t think the demographic was hugely different to where I live but wow,How on earth can you charge over £6 for some cheese on toast,7.95 for a baked potato. We arrived,took a look at the menu and made a swift exit! At average for me and my 3 friends to have a baked potato each and one drink (non alcoholic) ,it would have been over £40!I have absolutely no problem paying for good food,and not doubt it would have been tasty enough,but that’s very expensive for a light snack in a cafe.I understand overheads and wages ect but that really is quite OTT,if I were you,I’d have a rethink and some may agree,that is a rip off!!!

A lovely comfy tea room and food was good. It says they cater for Vegan but I'm not sure what they cater. Only option with hot drink was cows milk no non lactose option, very surprising and very disappointing. Was in a tea room but couldn't have tea!! Food was lovely, service needs a smile

After noticing the tea rooms on a lovely bank holiday Monday decided we would stop for a couple of coffees. We were shown to a table by a member of staff where the previous customers had just left and subsequently told by the young member of staff that someone would come along and clear the table and take our order. Some 15 minutes later still sitting at the dirty table waiting to place our order. Subsequently 3-4 minutes later before I started to eat the leftover sandwich on the table we decided to leave. Heavens know what happened to the poor bloke who ordered the takeaway coffee he was still there when we left.

Had an amazing cooked breakfast today at the Tea Rooms. With it being the last day of Eat Out to Help Out, they were soooo busy, but the staff did brilliantly. The service was great, friendly and very Covid safe. The quality of the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had for ages, just wish I had room for the delicious looking cakes.... the chocolate orange one really caught my eye. We will be back and recommend it to others too.

Food and drinks were nice and the staff were friendly however we were very disappointed regarding their Corona virus safety measures. They provided hand gel and had a one way system in place. The staff were wearing visors however they weren’t pulled down over their faces and we’re not keeping their distance so when taking our orders and serving food etc, we felt quite uncomfortable. Also saw a member of staff wiping their face with their hand shortly before serving cakes and also putting their fingers inside glasses and cups when making drinks. The table was covered in crumbs suggesting I it had not been wiped between customers. It was a shame as it would have been lovely otherwise.

Visited twice this week. Lady that runs the cafe was so friendly and really helpful. Great food and drinks will definitely be visiting again.

This is quite a traditional looking tea room, but offers so much more. Yes they have an eclectic mix of vintage looking bone china cups and saucers (Royal Albert, Old Country Roses style) and staff in black and white uniforms but the service and food quality is to a high modern standard and good value.We generally visit around mid morning and in addition to the available hot food selection, (I recommend the sausage and egg rolls or toasted tea cakes), there is a wide selection of fresh cakes available.If we''re lucky we get a seat in the window and can watch the world go by.

Passed through Tutbury and stopped here by chance for a quick lunch. Quirky vintage interior. Food was really bad unfortunately and price far from reflective. Baguette seemed to be microwaved and thus very tough. Soup completely tasteless and served with a terribly cheap roll. I'm sure this place could be better with more reasonable prices and attention given to the food but we'll not be going back.

We booked for an afternoon high tea. The setting is lovely in the garden room, with birdsong rather than musak as the background. The high tea itself was a joy to behold with triple decker sandwiches, scone and proper clotted cream. Followed by four cakes each!A wide range of teas to select from, with a pot each, so plenty to top up.The service was top draw, with a helpful and friendly waitress.We will be back.

We are fairly local to Tutbury but have never tried this place before. Popped in for a spot of lunch on Sunday afternoon as we wanted to visit the antique shop. We had sandwiches and a hot drink each. The sandwiches were very fresh with ample filling along with crisps, coleslaw (thankfully not dripping in mayo) and salad garnish. Plenty of tea in the pot for a refill. The staff were friendly and efficient. I purchased a jar of marmalade which I am yet to try, but Gin and Lemon - what's not to like!Would definitely visit again.

Staying at the Dog and Partridge across the road where breakfast was a bit underwhelming decided on the second morning of our stay to try this little place instead. Good selection on the breakfast menu which was also reasonably priced. Nice friendly service good coffee and well cooked food (although the scrambled egg was a bit overcooked for our tastes). Menu looked good for other meals so will probably try this cafe again on our next visit.

We (two couples) visited on a Sunday afternoon for a cup of tea, after a visit to the Castle. The choice of cake was amazing, we just had to try some of them. The service was friendly and efficient. A most pleasant time.

Amazing service and fantastic cream tea and breakfast sandwich highly recommended. Give it a go would not be dispointed

We popped in and to our relief they did take dogs in the two window seats, luckily they where not taken! We had scones, Victoria sponge cake and crumpets with a huge Tea pot that seemed to offer endless cups of tea.Staff also very friendly and decent prices.

Had a couple of coffee and a snack. Coffee slopped into the saucers and tea cake burnt but, no worse or better than I would expect.The bad thing about this place is that as it was a pleasant sunny day we thought to sit outside at one of the 6 tables. All were littered with the remains of earlier meals and in the 20 minutes we were there no one made any effort to clean them. This was despite there appearing to be 6 people working there and only 2 customers.As we left, an old man struggling on a walking stick, was endeavouring to clear enough space to sit on an outside table. Not good. Shall not re-visit.

lovely atmosphere. Brilliant friendly staff, wide range and choice of sandwiches that can be custom made to order, amazing cakes. GF options available. Overall fantastic.

Popped in for a late lunch, advised on entry that only open until 4pm, we went in at 3.15 but okay for sandwiches. Ordered a soup and sandwich which was £7.99. I think a bit on the expensive side but the bread was fresh and the soup was homemade thick and hot. We were asked if the food was okay. I wish I had more time to enjoy as the cakes on display definitely looked homemade and worth a sample. Will return with more time on my side.

Such a lovely place , my aunty loved it {shes 95} but a nightmare to get her in. she has a bad foot at moment so called in early to book a table and ask about access. very helpful young lady said that she would look for ramp for entry {large step up} . however when we arrived we had to get window cleaner to move his van so we could get her out of the car.Then no ramp in evidence ! After big struggle me and two fellas we got her in young lady very apologetic. Such a shame as otherwise excellent food was lovely and my Aunt was delighted. A visit for the strong willed and strong bodied. Would visit again especially if ramp was available.

Visited with kids a couple of times as the kids like it, but not quite my cup of tea! Quirky and clean but a little pricey too

Friendly staff , great food , the staff gave me a free slice of pie straight from the oven as they where so proud of it and it was lovely . Lovely cup of coffee as well .

Absolutely love the food and cakes served here, always eat here when i visit Tutbury, just wish i lived closer so i could eat here everyday!! Great atmosphere, nice staff, and good value for the food.

I visited these tea rooms for breakfast with family. The sausage sandwiches were made with poor quality sausages and insufficient tomato ketchup. Although we left cash on the table when we left we were chased up the road and accused of trying to leave without paying. I found this insulting and offensive and would not recommend these tea rooms for that reason.

Lovely place to enjoy a cuppa and some fantastic cakes. Lovely cups too. We had tea and cakes and scones with my elderly aunt. Car park at the back but walk through to entrance very uneven and difficult for someone with a walker. Didn't appear to be a back entrance. Getting in with my aunts walker proved awkward too as it was either a small but awkward step up and then down or a bigger step.

A very special friend birthday lunch. Beautiful and clean, food well presented services with smile as always I would definitely recommend the relaxing gardenroom 😆😆

Just stopped for afternoon sandwiches absolutely lovely Bang on friendly staff and great price well done Tutbury

We enjoyed lunch with lovely friends in beautiful surroundings.we enjoyed sausage casserole with bubble and squeak it was delicious.

Dropped in whilst we were passing through and had a very nice Breakfast, Granary toast and tea, This is a lovely little tearooms. The finishing touches like little plants on the table and the bone china ware are fabulous. Really enjoyed, will drop by again

Beautifully cooked lunch, really tasty home cooked food. Great surroundings and friendly staff. A lovely hidden gem, thoroughly recommend a visit.

My mother in law recently went here with a friend for a soup and a roll, and a cappuccino. The soup they both had was watery and without flavour. The chicken soup was that weak that you could see the bottom of the bowl. There were a few fragments of chicken but no flavour, the Stilton and broccoli soup but couldn't taste any Stilton it in, and you only got a half a bap of bread to go with it. The cappuccino was also thin and without taste. Expensive price, cheap meal. I have put this on for her, as she doesn't have a profile.

A beautiful place to have lunch with wonderful friends. Whatever you have on the menu sandwiches, homemade soups to delicious breakfasts, you know your going to enjoy it. It's spotlessly clean and such friendly staff. I will definitely return and I would highly recommend.😀sarah

Lovely freshly made sandwiches and a good selection of cakes. Great selection of teas available and service was great.

Almuerzo aquí hoy durante el mercado de agricultores, el lugar estaba muy lleno, pero el personal era trabajar muy bien y no tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para nuestro almuerzo encantador café con leche y horneado de Fritas con huevo, mayonesa, lo único negativo podría haber tenido un poco más de huevo mayonesa. Pero genial, con una gran variedad de tartas, etc. También desayuno a buen precio.

Merienda adorable esta tarde. Una verdadera sensación de casero. Tenía un montón de llenado sandwiches teníamos jamón y queso brie pollo coronación, realmente deliciosa. Crema y mermelada para nuestro generoso y un montón de bollos de ups para un té. Mi hijo actualmente ganó en un sorteo! Realmente contentos de haber encontrado. Prefiero poco a su medida y sin duda té iba a volver. Gracias por un estupendo té!

Had fantastic food and service back on the 16th march as doing a wedding not far owner is very friendly

Después de haber caminado por varias millas y sabiendo que tenía similar para cubrir nuestros autos son versión último antes de mi viaje fue concluido. Elegí visitar esta habitación agradable té buscando en high Street tutbury y con suerte podrá disfrutar de un buen desayuno de energía abundante, y no me decepcionó. El personal era muy amable y me comprometieron con conocimientos interesantes de la zona. La comida estaba bien caliente y muy sabroso, regada con un buen café sabor y todo a un precio muy razonable. Con baterías para recargar totalmente me siguió en mi viaje. Recomiendo encarecidamente cualquiera pasando por dar esta tetería una visita. Sin duda volveré de nuevo. Gracias.

La ventana de este salón de té es atractivo y acogedor en que demuestra la comodidad y tazas de porcelana este salón de té ofrece.

We took my mother-in-law for afternoon high tea as a surprise for her birthday. Myself, husband, our daughter and the birthday mom. Had messaged in advance and arranged for flowers and balloons. The table was set out beautifully, with lovely china. The shop itself is very clean and nicely decorated, the manager and staff friendly and helpful. The food was lovely, plenty of sandwiches, not boring run of the mill, but a choice of different fillings, really fresh bread and excellently presented. As for the cakes........ delicious! Scrummy scones, jam and cream, chocolate cake, lemon drizzle, and cherry genoa. Plenty to go round and the manager packed up the leftovers for us to take away.

We were in Tutbury due to a vintage bus rally and in need of some refreshment, we found thieTutbury Tea Room.

My partner and I have often been in on the weekend for an all day breakfaston the way out for the day Always delicious. Never been disappointed. It is an independent village traditional cafe. There are not many of these around and polite staff. Thank you :)

Me pareció que los días del propietario sentado y viendo, y recoger, mientras que el personal de culpa están haciendo su trabajo eran una cosa del pasado. Y el dueño chistaba( cuando uno de los empleados fueron picados por una avispa. No para mí, gracias.

Very clean but busy when we went. Disappointed that they only had one milk type but otherwise nice. Food was Fresh & staff friendly. Extremely good choice for a small establishment. Give it a try with friends or on your own

Bit pricey but overall well presented food, friendly staff and pretty location with EXCELLENT Earl Grey tea (for some reason other places find EG dififcult to make!)Slightly odd that you can't eat in the front seating area in case food goes on the chairs but hey - quirky can be good sometimes. We enjoyed it and will go back.

We visited Tutbury Tea Room for an evening meal last Saturday. It's a different menu in the evening with a good choice. Lovely food and very attentive service. It's not licensed so you can take your own alcoholic drinks, but the proprietor will keep them cool in the fridge and serve them as and when.

I went with a friend for lunch last Friday. The tea rooms were clean and the staff were pleasant. We ordered our food and tea for two. The tea was very nice in a china cup. The food however was l felt very small for the cost. I had a jacket potato with bbq chicken. Served on a small plate was a medium sized potato with a spoon of the chicken with a very very small taste of coleslaw. I felt that at least it could have been served with a side salad!! My friend had a chicken dinner with a spoon of mashed potato which she was not sure if it was smash! Again it was very small for the cost!We paid nearly £16 which l felt was not value for money!Will not be going back!

We visited Tutbury tea rooms for the first time on a cold miserable day. The staff , Sonia and Nic made us very welcome, the food and service was excellent, lovely friendly atmosphere. Clean and cosy, we enjoyed our meals. The only thing we could find wrong was that some of the pricing on the menu did not make sense, eg two toast and a portion of beans was 70p cheaper than Beans on toast, which consisted of exactly the same ? apart from that very nice.

I recently went for lunch at the tea room by myself. After ordering the food I could hear the lady who served me moaning and talking about me in the back with her colleagues. She was moaning due to the fact I had not sat down to order my food and ordered from a takeaway menu and also because I didn't order a drink. It seems that a colleague told her I was sat near the door and could hear her so she quickly shut up and was trying to act pleasant afterwards. I am absolutely horrified and quite frankly disgusted at the behaviour seen and the lack of customer service. Tutbury tea room should evaluate their staff or at least teach them some manors!!

Finding myself unexpectedly in Tutbury at lunchtime, I was warmly welcomed on entering this attractive tea rooms. I decided to try the "all day breakfast", which was tasty and well presented. The atmosphere of the venue was excellent, the staff I encountered were friendly and enthusiastic and the many other customers were clearly enjoying their meals. Unusually, these tea rooms are not listed on the Tutbury pages on TripAdvisor, but only on the Burton upon Trent pages. This means that anyone planning a visit to Tutbury, and looking on the Tutbury pages, will not see it listed; the owners should investigate having its entry moved to the Tutbury pages.

Quite an attractive and traditional looking tearoom with a fair amount of room for customers. The lady who served us was pleasant and helpful and made us feel welcome. We placed our order which consisted of one pot of tea for two, a cheese and tomato toasted sandwich and a normal cheese sandwich. Both where served on granary bread with a fresh but very small side salad. The tea was very basic and a little on the weak side and the sandwiches were nice but nothing special. After we had finished we decided to order a slice of cake each- one coffee and walnut and the other a Victoria sponge. The slices weren't very big and as the cakes had been baked in square tins rather than round ones it was more of a loaf style slice. Both cakes were rather dry and tasted bland. Definitely not worth the £3+ per slice. Overall it was a very simple and average lunch that certainly wasn't worth £19.05. Your prices need reviewing and/or the overall standard of food and drink that you are serving needs to match the amounts you are charging. We won't be returning.

Myself and 5 friends popped in for lunch. Our sandwiches, soup and cake order took 1 hour 15 minutes to arrive and when they did, the sandwiches were made from stale bread and crust, 1 soup and 1 sandwich had hairs in them, the cake was so stale it was inedible. This was our worst cafe experience ever - 6 people agree.Do not visit.

all i can say you be mad not to try it lovely place nice grub great people resanable prices will return

We were here whilst visiting the Farmers Market. Plenty of things to choose from on the menu. Tearoom nice and clean. My homemade soup(brocolli and stilton) and sandwich arrived promptly. Prices were very reasonable. The soup was lovely and hot and a good portion size, only criticism was that it was underseasoned, this was easily as rock salt and black pepper on the table to add more.

Absolutely brilliant. Everything was so nice here. I had some homemade coffee cake which is to die for and such big pieces. I also had a cappacino which is the best I've ever tasted. Will definitely be back.

We paid this tearoom a visit on a busy Saturday during Viking weekend at Tutbury Castle, we were served by the owner who was very attentive and helpful. We had our drinks and I had earl Grey, it was gorgeous, I asked the owner what make it was,it was jenier (I now order this tea direct from jenier) we had a bit of a wait,but they were very busy and the owner apologised for the wait as did the cook,who was his wife.The pie my husband had was lovley, I had the homemade quiche and salad,it was very nice although it wasn't much of a salad for the price, it was more like a garnish, otger than that, everything was very good and we really enjoyed our lunch.

A group of us met at the tea rooms. We had a wonderful warm welcome. The homemade soup was freshly made and lovely served with a cheese scone. Yum yum we found the staff to be very helpful some of us had travelled along way and didn't know the area so they told us about the local area. We finished our meeting with a wonderful piece of red velvet cake and a coffee. I would recommend a visit if passing or even if you want a get together with friends.

Visited the Tutbury tea rooms with my daughter and granddaughter on Mother's Day We had a fabulous Cream tea. Fresh assorted Sandwiches and assortment of lovely cakes tea was served in a teapot with China cups and saucers . Everybody was very polite and helpful we all had a lovely time. Will be visiting again when we are in Tutbury. Thank you everybody for a lovely afternoon.

Quaint village setting, I've always found the staff to be helpful. Food and drink always 10/10. Always more than helpful in discussing the menu, drinks especially where they came from.

We went there on Saturday 14th March for a birthday treat. There was 14 of us and was accommodated well. Drinks were served quick and staff friendly and helpful. Owner is lovely and extremely helpful. Good home cooked food

Wow what a find, a small village Tea Rooms exactly as it should be. A beautiful setting, fantastic lunch and the coffee and cream tea is to die for. Thank you for making our girl y afternoon so special, we'll definitely be coming back very soon for more of your delights.

Lovely little Tea room, which we visited on the 2nd April 2015. Food was good, but cappuccino was sloppy. However, what disturbed me the most, was 2 members of staff, who seemed to take pleasure in being nasty about another member of staff. Not just to themselves, but also discussing same with a customer!!!! The poor lady in question, I believe, normally worked in the flower shop next door, and was only helping out in the café. We are actually looking to move to that area, but these 2 women has put me off a bit!!!!! As an experienced ex manager of a coffee shop, this would be a lovely place to work, should the staff be trained to act in a professional manner, not just towards the customer, but their fellow colleagues. The lady from the flower shop who served us, was very polite and friendly.

If you are looking for a traditional tea room with tea served in a teapot and wonderful home-made food then Tutbury tea rooms is the place for you to visit.This is my mum's favourite place to meet up for a home cooked meal in a relaxed, clean, quaint and friendly atmosphere and in a lovely little village too.There provide loyalty cards which we make full use of.Nothing is too much trouble for the owner and staff here.I would recommend the home-made soups which are fabulous and their cream teas are to die for.

Good value for money cafe, with friendly team and lots on offer. Fresh home cooked products. Lovely for all the family.

We visited these tea rooms once before on a wet Sunday afternoon when we had soup & a drink which was very nice, so as we were going away this weekend we decided to make a detour so we could have breakfast. We went in & sat down and when the waitress came & asked us what we would like, I ordered a breakfast but I asked if I could swap the egg & tomato for extra mushrooms which she said was fine so no problem there. Then my husband ordered & again asked if he could swap two items for extra mushrooms, again not a problem so off she went with the order & we just sat & waited for our breakfast to arrive when suddenly this woman appears from nowhere only to say, I just want to make it quite clear that extra mushrooms will be an additional cost, well we were gobsmacked to say the least so I explained that we were not having two of the items on the menu so what was the problem she then said that she had to unwrap the mushrooms but the tomatoes were already open, I can only assume this silly woman was the owner so with that we left the premises in disgust. How mean can some one be and also stupid to lose two paying customers for the sake of a few mushrooms. We went to the Castle Café in the end it may not have been as up market as the tea room but it was by friendlier & the food wasn't too bad either & we had that many mushrooms we actually left some, so will we be returning to the tea room I don't think so, nor would I recommend it. When I pay for some thing I don't expect a rude obnoxious woman to appear to spoil it, also it doesn't matter if she reply's to this feedback as no excuse is going to make up for the fact she spoilt the breakfast we never had!! Visited February 2015

Lovely quaint place. Friendly staff and accommodating. Lovely coffee and cake. Off there for breakfast this morning it was so nice

Visited Sunday lunchtime had a 3 course lunch for £9.99 all homemade and excellent. Outstanding value.Staff nice too.

Small tea room with all the essentials. Nothing too special but worth a visit when spending the day at the castle

We had a lovely birthday cream tea. Super sandwiches and scrummy cream scones - fruit for me! Table set beautifully with proper tea cups. Super x

We were looking for a place to have lunch and checked reviews for the Tutbury Tea Room on TripAdvisor and saw it got bad reviews. We went anyway and were actually surprised on how dirty the place was. First impression when we walked in was the Henry hoover in the middle of the restaurant and flies everywhere. In every corner of the restaurant, including the toilets, were covered in cobwebs with spiders. The food was good but dirty dining room was a major turnoff.

It was really lovely from the sandwiches to the tea and cakes we were all really stuffed and the staff were so helpful and polite thank you we will be back plus it was a lovely sunny day and we had the whole decking to our self's thank you x

We popped in one day as we were passing for a latte and now it's a regular Tuesday thing! Staff very friendly, atmosphere fantastic, service brilliant.

Visited with a group of about 16. This was the second time I have been here. The first time was a lovely sunny day and I ate scrambled eggs and salmon in the court yard at the back which was lovely. Today- the food was nice and the first cup of tea was nice too. But the lady said " let me know when you need more water in the tea pot" I didn't think anything of it. But that was exactly what she meant. When the tea pot came back they had reused the tea bags and it was impossible to get another tea from it. It was so weak. We ordered another thinking it would be a one off- but the next one was even weaker. We were disappointed to say the least- as we paid £20 per person and felt like a new tea bag or two wouldn't have cost much. We didn't say anything though as we felt like we were being a pain and assumed we weren't allowed new tea bags. I hate giving average or below reviews- but that's exactly how I felt when I left. Can't fault the cream scones though. Sandwiches were ok too- Cut into rectangular finger sandwiches. And the cakes were all yummy.
