Absolutely fantastic service. Came here for afternoon tea as part of a baby shower and the staff were so friendly and worked around us. They accomodated for dietary needs also. My only suggestion is that the scones had raisins in and it would be nice if there was an option for plain scones

Its like the Tardis, small on outside, spacious and beautiful inside. From the moment we stepped through the door we were greeted with a warm welcoming smile, were shown to our table, asked if the room was warming enough. I ordered a latte and was so pleased to get a proper latte in a tall glass cup. There was such a good range of food to choose from. The food was and tasted homemade. Very well presented and tasty. Can't wait to go back and try something else from the menu. Highly recommended. I loved the traditional service we received ❤

For my sins I have never used the cafe. However, I do use the pharmacy on a regular basis. Service is always friendly, fast and efficient and I am sure one day they will remember my name 🙂 The text notification I now receive when my prescription is ready is so helpful. My most recent repeat prescription was turned around in less than 24 hours. Excellent service, thank you so much.

I'd never heard of this place before,but what a find. This little gem of an old building has a myriad of fascinating little rooms and has obviously been built up over many years with love and care. My personal favourite was the Kinky Boots display. After exploring we were able to enjoy coffee and a bite to eat and have a chat to the owners. A brilliant morning out especially enjoyed by my French companion.

Overall the place wasn’t too bad, had to wait quite a while for food even though it wasn’t that busy. Food was ok and did the job but didn’t have that wow factor.

A combination of small issues made breakfast a disappointment, more effort was put into its appearance than it's taste, and it was only saved by lashings of the most delightful Jeyes Ketchup.

It started when the toast was delivered to our table a good 5 minutes before the actual breakfast, so although it was well toasted with lashings of butter it was cold by the time we had food. Then the breakfast arrived; Each component of breakfast was a different temperature, the bacon was quite well cooked but cold, and sat in the water that had come out of it as it was cooked. The beans were luke warm in a tiny bowl on the plate. The scrambled egg had clearly been cooked in a microwave and was over cooked and nuclear hot. The tomatoes were quite nice but needed seasoning and I really don't know how they'd cooked the mushrooms to make them grey and lifeless as if from a tin, again lacking seasoning. The sausage was well cooked, but not of very high quality. Hash brown is usually nice to see with breakfast, but on this occasion it was tough and not crispy. So yeah overall it was a disappointment and using a microwave (we heard it ping multiple times) is a crime against a fry up.

The staff were friendly, but not the most efficient, and I think the breakfast quality explains the almost empty dining room on a Saturday morning.

We did have a nice coffee, and when we left we bought cake to take away which was pleasant, but I'm sure we were overcharged for it.

I wouldn't return for breakfast, but maybe for coffee and a cake.

Lovely food, nice surroundings and friendly staff but the big problem is the wait time when busy. An hour for a toastie is too long and our 3 year old granddaughter kept asking where her jam sandwich was. However the menu has improved more each year and now there is alot to choose from and more tables to sit at, especially the tables near the toys if you have young children. The chicken, bacon and leek pie I would recommend along with an ice cream milkshake!. Also some lovely looking cakes and puddings to sample. It's just a shame that the waiting can be awkward especially if you have young children. You don't like to complain but it probably would be an idea to inform people how long the wait is so they know what to expect.

Visited Jeyes today for Afternoon Tea. There were 6 of us in our group and the food supplied was ample for us all, with a good selection of sandwiches, quiche, scones, cakes and sweet treats (we couldn't finish it all and the staff were more than happy to box it up for us to take home). One of our group is Gluten free and the staff had no issues catering to her needs. The tea room was nicely decorated, and very cosy. There is an outside area which looked lovely and will be nice to sit out there in the summer. Service was efficient and we didn't feels rushed even though it was clearly busy. The attached shop is beautiful and well stocked with a variety of produce from local suppliers. Definitely worth a look around.
