"This is a lovely little tea shop offering genuine hospitality. It is only a small place but there was a constant turnover of customers even though it is off the main road. They are cash only"

"Very local and quintessentially Britsh small tea room. Proper homemade cakes and scones, pots of tea, friendly waitress service. Excellent homemade savoury food too. Limited opening hours due to being small and privately owned. In a converted bungalow so disabled access is not great but there is a portable ramp and staff and customers alike will be glad to help."

"Visited this lovely little gem earlier with family as a stop on our way to the seaside. My little one had the children's meal deal box which was an incredible bargain. We all opted for the quiche with garnish and it did not disappoint. The ladies serving and preparing the food were lovely. No questions were too much and they took an interest in my little one which he loved. It is very intimate inside, so if you're wanting a lot of room then outside might be better. Didn't matter to us though. Thanks so much for your hospitality. We will definitely visit again!"

"Visited with my 9 year old fussy eater son. I had a full English breakfast which was delicious and he had "amazing" ham sandwiches. Too stuffed for pudding, we ordered chocolate cake and mint rocky road to take home - also delicious. Lovely staff and lovely surroundings - would definitely recommend."
