Witley Tea Rooms in Malvern Hills

After visiting Witley court we sat in the attractive conservatory here and had a cream tea. It was very good, reasonably priced and brightened up a rainy day.

We have not visited here for a couple of years but we were taking family to English Heritage to see the fountain, it’s about an hours drive to get there & the driveway to the tea room from main road has been much improved since our last visit. We had a selection of sandwiches and soup, the quality of the food was great and as others have said previously….proper fillings in the sandwiches and good quality bread, we had Brie and pear and coronation chicken - was probably the best I’ve had in years ! A lovely tea room with lovely food and nice friendly service

We had a fabulous afternoon tea. Delicious home made sandwiches with proper fillings eg salmon and cream cheese, proper ham not your wafer thin plastic stuff! Tasty locally grown cherry tomatoes as garnish. The scones and cakes were equally delicious. They kept the tea flowing. A really enjoyable experience.

I’ve visited these delightful tearooms many a time spanning over a couple of decades. The setting is so relaxing and enchanting. The food is all properly home made, great quality and delicious. I can whole heartedly recommend the quiches and the cakes. I will always return here whenever I get the chance. Such a lovely relaxing place to visit with great service and delicious simple food done well !

Would absolutely recommend this gorgeous cafe for coffee and cake as well as lunch. The young staff members were very welcoming and friendly- you order at the counter and they deliver to your table inside or in the very pretty, quiet garden. Very dog friendly outside or in the conservatory area. We enjoyed coffee and cake before our visit to Witley Court and lunchtime sandwiches after. Would recommend the ham or the smoked salmon and cream cheese. Delicious 😋 We bought some Witley strawberries to take away and they were very good too.

What a little gem of a place x We came for High Tea and we weren’t disappointed, the sandwich selection wasn’t what I was expecting but they were amazing and worth getting out my food comfort box for 🤩 the scones were to die for and more than enough cream and jam and what can we say about the truly delicious homemade cakes x so worth the money with outstanding service, an amazing atmosphere and simply delightful setting x Highly recommend and we are going back for lunch because the food on the next table looked amazing too xx

Witley Court is a stunning place to visit anyway, but the garden tearooms really is the icy on the cake when making a visit. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. The surroundings of the walled garden are just a delight. Plenty of seating and the staff bring your food out to you. Had a relaxing visit with tea, coffee and cakes in this sun trap of a garden. Inside there is a little shop selling very reasonably priced cards and gifts. The cafe prices too very reasonable. Would highly recommend visiting here.

Short walk from Witley Court & Gardens, delicious coffee and cakes. Dogs welcome in conservatory and garden.

Very disappointed! We waited in line for 10 minutes and they had quit serving sandwiches when we got to the counter. We were then told it was just sweets and drinks. We asked for a piece of chocolate cake and we’re told they were not planning to unwrap it but would if we really really wanted it they would. Maybe two more really really comments. Too busy tiding up than tending to customers.

High tea/afternoon tea today at the Garden Tea rooms was an absolute delight. It’s such a beautiful setting nestled in the heart of the countryside, away from noise, stress and traffic. The service was top class, our table was reserved, we were warmly welcomed, and the food was simply delicious. I’d recommend a visit without any hesitation.

Had a really lovely lunch in the garden, excellent sandwiches and cake. Very busy as a bank holiday but all the staff were so polite and friendly, and we didn’t wait long once we got to the front of the queue. Great value too. Will definitely be back.

We met friends here for lunch on bank holiday Monday and were delighted by this beautiful place and its friendly staff. We had a selection of panini rolls and sandwiches, all of which were tasty and fresh and the cakes….well what a selection! Yum, yum and more yum ! This place is fast becoming our regular favourite.

Visited the tea rooms with friends late afternoon and was so impressed with the friendliness of staff and excellent service. The food was great quality and we all enjoyed it. Thank you. We will be returning again very soon and recommending it to all our friends.

I have been coming to the Tearooms for several years and am always impressed by the service, the atmosphere and the dedicated staff who go to make my experience so enjoyable. The food is fresh, tasty and served with alacrity; the drinks varied and always prepared with care. The staff really make this place - it's clear that they love their job and they really value their customers. I would recommend the Tearooms as a great day out.

Booked for high tea to celebrate niece's forthcoming wedding excellent service and choice of sandwiches and cakes limitless cups of tea would thoroughly recommend and we will return at a later date

Although we have been here many times before, today was not a very pleasant experience. After ordering our food and the server being a little bit rude we sat down to wait. Didn’t think too much as it is was busy. Our food came out and we noticed that the paninis were a bit dry. We soon realised that they were made out of a bread roll instead of the usual style panini. I got up to mention this and had to repeat myself to 3 different staff. Each time being told that is the bread they use, at which point i stated then maybe the sandwich was over toasted. The older female (manager or supervisor I’m not sure, was the rude one initially), asked what i would like and i said i would ask my husband if he wants something else. She then said i will just give you a refund. Upon coming out with my refund she was rude again telling me that panini is just italian for bread when in actual fact and i quote “ While a Sandwich in general represents anything between the two breads , Panini uses a specific Italian bread like Focaccia or Ciabatta.” I will ensure that in future i will not be eating lunch at this cafe, especially with the cost, quality and service received.

Been here many times before and enjoyed it but today the food was of poor quality and the Grey haired lady (i'm assuming the manager) was very rude and abrupt. Not sure i will be back here next time i come to Witley Court and Gardens.

Thank goodness the Tea Room is open again. The opening always heralds the start of Spring: and what a start. So lovely to see them so busy with people of all ages enjoying the surroundings, the service and the refreshments. Never fails to make us feel good. Only 3 generations of the family able to be there this weekend but hopefully making it 4 generations next weekend.

After exploring Witley Court gardens, this is just the place to sit down and relax in the large garden and enjoy a good lunch. Very good menu, excellent service and food.

The tea rooms are simply brilliant... !!! The staff are totally helpful, cheerful and very speedy and when I rang up this morning to see if they were serving lunches today, the lady was so sweet and kind in explaining their menu timings and gave great advice as to when to plan the visit.... which we did! The menu simply but delightfully exploits local grown and reared produce and given the culinary skills of the team, this means eating here is a very nice experience. My wife and I had paninis - and then homemade cakes with our tea and we enjoyed this while sitting out in the wonderfully romantic `private` garden which was a secret part of the adjacent Witley Court. Prices - very, very reasonable. I realise that Covid limitations can influence one`s choice of somewhere to enjoy a meal out - but the indoor tea-room is spacious and very nice, the gardens are so delightfully spaced it means one can feel totally safe and that still can matter. So - if you are in the area - call in, see the Court, the beautifully stunning church and then have an utterly fantastic lunch or tea and add to the experience.

Ive been visiting this tea-rooms for years. Everytime i go to Witley Court i always go to the tea rooms. The gardens are beautiful. Staff are really friendly and the food is beautiful. Cakes and scones all delicious. Ive taken many people to this place and they always remark on how lovely and beautiful it is. Whenever i need a refresh and reset i like to visit as its a beautiful and calm place and makes me happy every time i visit. Would recommend this place to anyone and hats off to Gill and her team for keeping the place going.

This is a lovely addition to Whitley Court. The café was very clean and tidy, Staff very friendly and helpful. This café has inside and outside seating, location was lovely and quiet and close to Whitley Court and the church.

Visited the tearoom today for lunch. We sat on Jim's bench and enjoyed lovely coffee, freshly made sandwiches, and delicious home made cake. It was very busy but all the staff coped admirably, and were cheerful, chatty and efficient.

We stopped here for lunch during a visit to Witley Court. I'd requested a shady table when booking as it was going to be a hot day. The table was perfectly placed under a gazebo. There were several tables under tree shade that were full...

I organised this visit with Gill a good few months ago for my sisters Hen Do - everything was perfect and my sister had the best time. The food was delicious and staff were very friendly. We surprised my sister with bringing along my nan...

Came to visit Witley Court. Stopped in for coffee and cake. Beautiful location in the gardens under shaded trees. Good coffee and great cake.

We have been visiting the tea rooms for years, but this is my first review. Gill and her team are fantastic at what they do. The food is always beautifully presented and delicious. We had a “high tea” for four outside, and in typical British...

Great place to have some delicious food. Lovely garden setting with seating in sun and shade. Lovely stop after visiting Witley Court.

Enjoyed an afternoon tea here. Lovely sandwiches, I especially liked the coronation chicken and ham ones. Tasty scones and cakes. Coffee was excellent. China cups etc. used which was nice. Dogs allowed outside and in the conservatory.

What a little gem of a tea room, everything was delicious, the coronation chicken sandwich was superb one of the best I’ve had and the Victoria sponge was scrumptious, we can’t wait to come back

Monday 25th April 2022, After wandering round Witley Court and Gardens my husband and I were in need of refreshments. We strolled round to the ‘The Garden Tearoom’ situated next to the church. My husband and I found a nice table in the sunny conservatory...

Wow, this place is amazing. If this place was on our doorstep we’d be visiting all the time. The garden here is huge and has so many different seating areas that you can’t fail to find a great spot to sit and enjoy your food...

Pre-booked High Tea for four people. No waiting upon arrival, beautiful settings, excellent and very friendly service from Gill who was very attentive and responsive to our dietary needs (one vegan, one vegetarian). The food was delicious, freshly prepared (the scones were still warm) and...

Seems we have been waiting for so long for our favourite place to open again. Finally open and we have already been twice. Going again on Saturday with the family.

Fantastic coffee, not generic rubbish! The cake selection was unreal! Didn’t have food but a very good looking menu! Great garden area to sit as well!

Stopped here whilst visiting witley court. Lovely tea room with efficient and friendly staff. Food was excellent!! Not to be missed.

Realized yesterday we only have 5 more weeks before the tearoom closes for the season. Could have put a damper on my mood, but how could I be sad in such a wonderful setting. So look on the bright side. 5 more weeks of enjoying...

Ok so we’ve been here many many times in the past, but to be honest not since COVID started early last year, so expected changes as most places have had to adapt, the menu wasn’t as it used to be, where I was looking forward...

Well organised and hygienically cleaned between visitors. Lovely tea, cakes, snacks in congenial surroundings. Clean toilets. Close by to the church for a visit too.

Sandwiches are outrageously expensive at £5.90 which you don’t mind paying for a good quality sandwich but it was pretty poor on cheap bread with minimum amount of filling with no salad or anything out of the ordinary ! A Tesco meal deal would have...

Spot on! Lovely tea and cake. Good menu. Friendly staff. Very relaxed. Outdoor seating under cover available. Beautiful agapanthus!

I recently booked a table for cream tea to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. The owner Gill was very friendly and accommodating when I was making the arrangements and the service was wonderful on the day. Our cream teas and the cakes from the counter were...

We didn't know this tea room existed so it was a nice surprise to have delicious tea and cake after visiting Witley Church.

My friend had booked a high tea for the two of us as a birthday treat. from the outset the staff were very accommodating and friendly. My friend required dairy free alternatives and the staff catered for her without fuss or making her feel awkward...

This lovely tea room is worth a visit even if you don't pay to go into Witley Court. We sat in the large garden with plenty of seating. Good choice of menu and felt very covid safe.

A friend suggested the tea rooms as a good place to meet for lunch. Although we hadn’t booked & the outside tables were busy we only had a short wait until a table became available. There was a good choice of sandwich fillings & they...

Went especially for the afternoon tea. Was not disappointed. It was nothing less than excellent. Nice selection of sandwiches, plenty of cakes and scones and as much tea/coffee as you could drink. Forced to bring some of the food home as more than enough!!! Very...

It is unfortunate that I live 1.5 hours from this tea room, as the distance prevents me from visiting weekly. The location, the food and service were superb. I could have sat here for hours, it was idyllic. I shall return to visit Whitley Court...

Called after our visit to Witley Court. They had only just reopened after lockdown but coped very well. Outside seating is well spaced and service and food was very good.

Beautiful surroundings, great food, friendly atmosphere. It was definitely a popular spot. Come early or later in the afternoon if you want to get a good seat.

Cannot tell you how long we have waited for this. The best Tearoom in the country and possibly on the planet. Setting sublime, food wonderful, staff welcoming. What more can anyone ask for. Order. Sit back and enjoy.

After visiting Witley Court and Gardens this was the perfect end, the soup of the day was really nice, tomato and herb, and a lovely pot of tea. Nice grounds to sit in, limited space due to Covid if raining, we where lucky and had...

We, 3 of of us plus a baby in push chair. visited on Sunday 20th September,what a pleasant ,surprise .loverly setting .,very well organised for seating & service good efficient staff, Tea & cakes excellent, also very good prices,Excellent venue, Also You don't have to go through the court ,you can visit the tea rooms only, by using a entrance just past the court on the main road.

We used the tearooms after visiting Witley Court & gardens and then a visit to the stunning church.We witnessed everywhere being sanitised. Sign tells you to pick a table where the chairs are resting against the table as these are the ones that have been cleaned. We chose a table, you then make your way over to the ordering desk outside, place your order and pay and make your way back to your table.Our drinks and cake were brought over to us, quite quick considering most tables were in use when we arrived but are well spaced apart. Cake very delicious, the decaf tea was not the best one, quite weak to be honest, Big tea pot for two and extra hot water to top the pot up, still drunk 3 cups as so thirsty.Would visit again, but please change brand of tea, Yorkshire decaf has a better flavour. I've had to have decaf products for over 20 years due to medical issues, so tried a good few.

When you arrive you order from a menu on boards outside through a serving hatch. The food and drinks are delivered to your tables, The outside tables are all well spaced. The team are all really well mannered.

The worst thing about lockdown was being unable to visit our favourite place. Usually we are there on opening day each year; but we had to wait until lockdown was eased before we could return.Yes the menu is a little more restricted BUT the service and quality of food is First Class as always.Such a happy place; the wonderful atmosphere seems to infect everyone with the desire to be pleasant.We cannot resist visiting every week.

This is truly a hidden gem. It is about a mile off the A road down a very bumpy pot holed track with not much signage other than a hand made sign saying ‘church’ . It is beside and part of Witley Court English Heritage site which suddenly opens up. It is a lovely spot with tables laid out under the trees and gazebos with a small conservatory area. The afternoon tea ( cake & scone) was delicious and very reasonable. If you want sandwiches too order High tea. Service was good and very relaxed despite being very busy. You can also have a wander round the old church and Witley Court too. Due to covid we couldn’t as we had not booked. Would highly recommend

This was our first visit to a cafe since Covid everything was well laid out one person took our order all tables cleaned once someone left one way system for the toilets beautiful setting and cake and tea top rate would highly recommend

We ventured in after visiting Witley Court ( English Heritage worth a visit) and the set up was wonderful. Lots of tables outside under gazebos or trees and a well organised system for ordering. Local apple juice, delicious cake and all in a beautiful garden setting. A highlight of the summer holidays.

After a visit to Witley Court walked the short distance to the tea rooms.Need to sit outside because of Covid restrictions. Tables well spaced and staff all masked and felt safe.Limited menu but nice sandwiches and cake and good coffee.Had a stroll around the garden afterwards.

Visited here as part of our trip to Witley Court & Gardens. Found this beautiful garden cafe (...and it is in a beautiful garden!). Small menu but excellent quality. We had ham and tuna sandwiches with a pot of tea...the quality is tip top and very tasty. This place also has the COVID rules organised in a smooth & structured way...all tables & chairs sanitised, contact details taken and one way system in operation. The staff are efficient and our whole experience was just joyful. Thank you to all concerned.

TA research yielded this gorgeous winner. Perfect in every way on a hot 60th birthday foodie tour. Staff, location and menu superb, highly recommended, thank you.

Excellent homemade sandwiches. Helpful, friendly staff. Good visible Covid hygiene. Lovely garden setting.

After a couple of hours at Witley Court, a short stroll to The Garden Tea Rooms is a must. Lovely friendly staff, outside seating set well distanced in a beautiful garden, great coffee.

After exploring the gardens and parkland at Witley Court it was the gentle stroll along the avenue from the church that leads you to the delightfully secluded Garden Tea Rooms.Plenty of spacious seating amongst the large beautiful garden, the staff here are friendly, it is very well organised and the hot chocolate(The Witley Works) and the slice of cake were delicious.Always worth a visit when at Witley.

We were visiting Witley Court next door and couldn't resist the sign to the tea gardens. All is sorted to make it safe for visitors with plenty of spaced table outside (under gazebos which was good as it was raining!). An organised order point and then food delivered to your table, all good. The menu may be a little shorter but we enjoyed our mid-morning stop for a hot drink and cake/scone. Very much appreciated - thank you.

First time out in three months and hitting the garden tea shop. Safe. Lovely cup of tea and wicked cake.

Just a short walk from Witley Court. We stopped in for a snack and drink to warm is up after exploring the ruined mansion. Friendly staff and a cosy tea room. The hot chocolate and brownies were delicious.

The Garden Tea Rooms is the perfect place for a meal/snack, or a coffee after walking around the Witley Court & Gardens. We had the jacket potato with red lentils. It came with a small salad and it was hearty and wonderful. A great dish for combating the chilly weather we just came out of. We also had the carrot cake which is highly recommended. The service was lovely, very friendly and welcoming.

We were pre-booked by someone else and arrived a little bit early but still received a very friendly welcome from a charming lady. After ordering sandwiches, cake and a speciality tea from a quite extensive selection we were shown to our preset table in the conservatory but also kindly advised that we could take any other unoccupied table if we wished. The afternoon tea was served very promptly and as well as our specific order we also got scones with jam and cream plus some homemade fudge. Everything was delicious, well prepared and presented. The staff were all polite, friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit and I look forward to going again.

Good food, good value, good service. What more could one ask for after such a remarkable historic site!

Great little tearoom . Beautiful gardens with plenty of seating. Very popular. Lovely selection of drinks a d food.

Tasty hot food & a wide variety with a good cup of tea and reasonable prices. Please visit when you get a chance.

This is run separately from the English Heritage site as is next to the church. Has outdoor seating and a good range of sandwiches and drinks. Lovely cakes and other souvenirs on sale.

Pop in for lunch before we had a walk around. Lovely friendly staff, excellent service. My quiche was delicious. Definitely worth a visit

An excellent range of food and beverages. Courteous staff, a most enjoyable experience. Ginger and plumb cake was my choice - great.

Excellent tea room which adds to the pleasure of visiting Witley Court and Great Witley Church. Main seating is outside in a pleasant garden so be prepared for wasps to join you. The owners do warn you and try to discourage these unwelcome guests but nature will take its course...

The tea rooms are set in some lovely gardens very close to the church. It is so beautiful and peaceful here.

A very busy little tea room with lots of out door seating which to admire the gardens, relax under the shady trees or just to sit with your furry companions.

We went here after having been to a garden a little way away. We had organised for afternoon tea for all of us.

We were visiting Witley Court next door and called here for an afternoon break. We ended up having a cream tea which was OK

I had a lovely lunch and I was very impressed with the staff, they were so helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble, the gardens are lovely. Food was well presented and plentiful. I am unable to eat Gluten and was really surprised by the choice, I usually have to eat jacket potato when I eat out.

Good place. Cream tea is a discount on buying items separately. Great on a summer afternoon Not owned by Witley Court but next to the church. Beware potholes on the road back to the house. Don't break your ankle.

I'm sitting here now at 3:00pm looking for somewhere else to go. They advertise opening until 5:00pm but they stop serving any food at 2:30pm.

Always very friendly staff here, and the cakes and scones are delicious. The plain scone I had was excellent, very light on the inside and a nice firm crust. It’s not too expensive for where and what it is. The inside of the tea room is ridiculously hot. There is no relief so the only comfortable option is outside in the glorious gardens. The only really disappointing part was the jam with the cream tea. It was more like a burnt sugar syrup with a hint of fruit and, unfortunately, spoilt the overall flavour of the cream tea. Still, very much worth a visit.

If your visiting The English heritage property next door , make a point of stopping here , to refuel

After visiting Witley Court Gardens we choose to visit this tea room. It was clean, efficient in serving us and had a scrummy cakes. We were able to sit outside which was lucky given the week of our stay in the area (rain rain and more rain). Outside was nicer than indoors which seemed a little cramped comparatively on the day of our visit.

Great place for an afternoon tea, lovely location, friendly staff and home cooked food , dogs are also allowed will be calling again.

We’ve been here a few times just for a cup of tea but today we fancied light lunch. We managed to get a table in the extension bit which a bit warm but it was raining outside so we didn’t care. I opted for a coronation chicken sandwich which was superbly filled and very tasty. My wife had a tune topped jacket potato and my daughter had the cheese version. Both large and satisfying. Of course we couldn’t resist a cake. I had the fruitcake which moist and full of flavour. A Victoria sponge (light and delicate) and a chocolate cake (rich and full of flavour) also got devoured.

Sat outside on a lovely day in the attractive garden to enjoy a lovely coffee and cake. Appreciated good service from friendly staff.

Set in an attractive garden, this tea room is acceptable, with good service. We found the cakes rather dry.

I use these tea rooms on one of my dog walking routes. Dog friendly in the garden and I believe in the conservatory area. Friendly and pleasant with nice cakes and tea served with top up hot water so you get a lot of tea!

Nearly £20 for four warm drinks, three ice creams & a cake. What else can I say, only went here because of how hot the day was, really wish I hadn't.

We attempted to get a drink during our visit to Witley Court and gardens. However, after waiting for 25 minutes in a queue without taking a single step forward, we gave up and went to a mobile tearoom instead. Such a shame as it looked like a nice place.

Choose from the conservatory, heavy with the scent of lilies, or the lawns, with walls of wisteria, you couldn't wish for a prettier, more peaceful place to sit and drink tea! The food is excellent and very reasonably priced and the service friendly.

I love this place! Lovely sandwiches, seriously amazing cakes, and best of all a proper cream tea. They've got beautiful gardens with acres of space, and a lovely big conservatory if it's too chilly. The staff are super friendly and so welcoming. We often make a journey stop here if we're in the area. Don't miss the stunning church right next door.

Called in for lunch on probably the wettest day in May! Delicious pea and celery soup and excellent bread. The coffee cake we had was the best we'd EVER had...anywhere! Service very good as well

In the best tradition of British Garden Tea Rooms... Light lunches and coffee, cake and tea. Reasonably priced, good service and clean loos.

Tried this and will not do so again. Far too expensive and accessibility for wheel chairs etc not great. Staff lovely though could not fault them. Hot food arrived luke warm and not nice to eat at that temperature. Salad had grit in it so clearly not washed properly and have eaten elsewhere for less for the same on menu.

Arrived at 15.30 on Bank Holiday Monday to be told the kitchen was closed, so we couldn’t have a ‘High Tea’ as advertised on the blackboard. Sandwiches and savouries were clearly therefore unavailable. Annoying therefore that two separate members of staff appeared with savoury food whilst we were there. It’s a shame these unpublished rules spoil so many places. Generally the place is nice, but don’t come expecting to be able to have more than a cake at 15.30.
