The Courtyard Tea Rooms

Found this tearoom tucked away at 3 p.m. and it looked lovely. The food looked great and the courtyard was very appealing, signs said it was open until 4.

Usually visit at lunchtime,and have always enjoyed the lunch,especially the Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Egg,my wife superb Watercres Soup.Tea .coffee and cakes are always enjoyed,

Popped in for a snack for lunch Really enjoyed my local watercress soup with watercress scones.. roast beef sandwiches horseradish too. Service excellent friendly . So lucky to have this on our doorstep

Popped in for a quick lunch with our young children, very accommodating. Very reasonably priced menu with very tasty food. Everything we had was high quality and delicious! Soup with savoury scones yum! Definitely worth a visit.

We had such a lovely lunch yesterday and the weather was perfect to sit outside, it such a lovely place and friendly staff. Would recommend to friends and family. Will return as reasonably priced food. Thank you to the staff and Nick.

Found this little tea rooms after visiting The Watercress Line. The lady behind the counter was polite but never smiled or made us feel welcome. The food was okay, my husband had the pasty but it was very dry.A little biter welcoming ambiance would have been lovely. Maybe she'd had a bad day.

Tucked away from view, but with ample signage to direct you lies the Courtyard Tea Rooms. We visited on a glorious day in September and sat outside. I enjoyed the ploughman's thoroughly and they served a very decent hard hitting cup of coffee. Price wise reasonable and service was non invasive and efficient. Worth taking a trip down the alley.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat, I was only there for one dish watercress soup with cheese and watercress scones. Really tasty and fresh, I doubt you could get a restaurant any closer to the watercress fields. Lively quaint restaurant, polite staff and efficient service. The soup and scones is a dish the chef should be proud of. I will be back very soon. Thank you

We visited the Courtyard at 3:00 on Saturday afternoon. Almost everything on the short menu was sold out. Perhaps that's excusable on the busiest day of the week but the rudeness with which we were told (by the senior member of staff) was definitely not. When the last remaining scotch egg arrived it was barely edible and the last remaining sausage roll was burnt, though in fairness, my wife enjoyed her savoury tea. The floor of the café was filthy. All in all, a most unwelcoming place and unedifying experience.
