Good tea and cake selection. Interesting decor. The staff were a little disengaged. Not really unfriendly but not terribly on the ball ...

Sadly, a disappointing visit today. I've been a few times, all of which were nice, however, not so great this time. On arrival, it's unclear as to whether you get seated or choose your own table, so we stood there awkwardly for a couple of minutes until we were told to choose 'anywhere'. This seemed rushed and not very welcoming. Being the fatty that I am, I ordered the large, cooked breakfast. I wasn't asked what kind of egg I wanted and was given scrambled. It wasn't too bad but not great either. Secondly, the menu says filter tea or coffee and juice included - I was offered neither. I did ask, but only for the juice as noone seemed interested in providing service. When I was given the juice, a bottle was just taken out of the fridge, lid left on, and placed on the table next to a glass; making me feel like I was being an inconvenience. The food was lovely, the tearoom is pretty, just a shame about today's service. My advice is to be more attentive to your customers and check the menus to see what they include. This was probably an exception/a one off so it's not like I wouldn't come back but I was a bit let down, especially as I was bringing a friend there for the first time, to show what it's like after raving about it. Also, a fork was dropped on my trousers, quite funny to me but might not have been for another customer. Also, I think someone said they'd never heard of Jasmine tea. Sorry to be a downer.

Lovely setting with delicious food reasonably priced. Staff excellent, friendly and helpful. Top marks!!

Unique interior decoration that adds an interesting twist to the tea room. Tasty selection of baked treats to go with any drink.

Friendly staff and the food is excellent. The burger I had was one of the best I've had for a long time. Portion size is good for the price, considering where they are, right opposite Jane Austen's house. I also recommend the cream tea. The choice of food is better than most other caf's. It fits the location and well worth the visit.
