Cost: ~ £14 per person
Tucked away upstairs at The Coach and Horses pub, you literally have to walk through the bar and go 'behind' the scenes to find this inspired vintage style tea room. You sit down at non-matching wooden chairs and lace doilies with an accompaniment of 1940's music and feel like you have stepped back in time. Tea is served in an assortment of individual tea pots that date back to the era, some being more pretty than practical...
First up you are served the traditional assortment of sandwiches - freshly made, soft bread and very tasty. Then came the scones. These were large and beautifully fluffy, served with fresh preserve and clotted cream. Next up we had to choose what slice of cake we wanted from the assortment (HINT: have afternoon tea early and you get the biggest choice of cake as the cakes are freshly made each day and you get to choose from what is left...) I went for their cappucicno cake - a massive slice that tasted YUMMY. You'd think it would finish there but we then got to choose a cupcake each. I went for chocolate (obviously...) and perhaps should have made the decision to take it home with me like everyone else did. But no, my eyes were bigger than the room I had left in my tummy and I consumed the lot. I just about made it out of the tea rooms, down the stairs...
Overall, a delightful venue for afternoon tea, excellent value for money and tasty home-made and home-baked goodies. Definitely recommend!
