"This was our first visit, and I don’t think we’ll be rushing back, sad to say. We had taken our granddaughter for afternoon tea for her birthday. On arrival we were given a small bowl of crisps and a small bowl of sausage roll, cut into small pieces. I don’t think the sausage roll was homemade, it definitely didn’t taste like it. We had a pot of tea and a pot of coffee and were asked what cake we would like from a choice of 4 different ones. I thought it was unusual to be asked what cake we would like as usually you’re just given a selection. We were also asked if we wanted fruit or pIain scones again usually there’s just a mix of different ones on the cake stand. Both the cake and the scones were very, very dry, and I would have thought shop bought. The sandwiches were nothing to write home about, cheese, ham and egg mayonnaise. Usually I would expect a bit more than a plain cheese sandwich in fairly stale bread for afternoon tea. I’ve had afternoon tea in a few different places and this was the poorest I’ve had. We paid £64 for 4 of us and I certainly don’t think we had good value for money. The lady that served us was very nice, but I didn’t feel we could say anything at the time as it was quite busy in there, with hindsight we should have done. I’m upset that our experience was not what we expected, we live local to the tea rooms and like to support local businesses, but if we want afternoon tea again we’ll be going elsewhere."

I have enjoyed afternoon tea at this restaurant multiple times and have found it delightful each time. The cakes are beautiful and delicious. The service is excellent. I will definitely be making another reservation once we are able to go out again.

We had a great time at the restaurant enjoying our afternoon tea served by the charming Kerry. The place is small and cozy, beautifully decorated with vintage items. There are so many things to see that you'll need to visit again to take it all in! I will definitely be returning and would highly recommend a visit to this lovely spot.

What a lovely afternoon tea we had. I took my Mum there for a treat and I must say it was lovely. The sandwiches were lovely and fresh. The scones were delicious. There was just the right amount of food, I also liked the fact we were asked what cakes we would like, so there was no waste and we was given a box to take the leftovers home. I will definitely be returning as the owner made us feel very welcome and I will also recommend me this to friends.

My sister was visiting from the States just after our mother's 95th birthday, so I ordered a takeaway afternoon tea and we got out all my mother's antique tea set and tablecloth that hadn't seen use for decades. Absolutely perfect thank you so much Vintage Tearoom for the lovely fresh sandwiches and delicious cakes and cream teas. And juicy fresh strawberries, where did you get them this time of year? Very generous portions we couldn't mange it all in one sitting. And so much care taken in presentation.

Wanting to take our friend out for her birthday, we decided on afternoon tea. I found this little hidden gem on the net. On entering I was a little disappointed that it was smaller than I thought. But we were served by a very obliging young lady, asked for our preference regarding sandwiches and cakes. We said we 'd like a variety. There were 5 of us and they certainly delivered a variety, 2 pots of tea which we were asked if we wanted topped up or fresh. Such a quaint little tea shop with mismatched cups and saucers, but of a vintage type which added to it being a 'different ' sort of tea shop. The decor is 'vintage ' too, with lots of posters/pictures from bygone days as well as hats to tr...

This was once a charming spot for afternoon tea, but in the years since our last visit, it has lost its charm. It's disappointing to see that the new management lacks a passion for vintage tea rooms. The atmosphere wasn't as themed as it used to be, not as quaint or pretty, and I can't quite pinpoint the difference. The staff were polite but not overly friendly, and I believe the previous owner used to wear a vintage dress while working there. This could have been forgiven if the food was good, but unfortunately, it was not. The sandwiches were simple with cheap bread, the scones were hard, there was a minimal amount of cream and no butter, and the cake was store-bought. The coffee was insta...

For part of my wife’s week of birthday treats I booked afternoon tea here. On arrival the owner was away at a local shop to get some bread as she had run out, no problem here. Just after we walked in we were followed by customers who had come in to collect takeaways, which they had to wait about twenty minutes for as they hadn’t been prepared. My wife opted for the menu advertised afternoon tea while I decided to have a ploughman’s. Our food was served almost thirty minutes after we had arrived. The afternoon tea consisted of six quarter sandwiches, two plain cheese, two plain ham and two tuna in place of the advertised egg sandwich, one scone with cream, a slice of cake and a small bowl of...

My 2 daughters, mother and I make it a yearly occasion to have Afternoon Tea at a different place. We had spotted this tea room on passing and thought we must try. I'm sorry to say we were so disappointed. On arrival the lady in charge seemed very nice and said we could choose a table. There was only one table taken by three ladies so we chose the table in the window. The table was bare other than a table cloth and a sugar bowl. The lady came to us and asked if we wanted tea or coffee, we opted for tea. She came back with a stack of mismatched saucers, cups, plates and cutlery and left them in the middle of the table for us to sort. She then brought 2 teapots over and milk. The tea was awful...
