Found this tea room while on a bike ride. Warm welcome and even better homemade cakes. Great seating inside and loads outside overlooking the canal
There was four of us on this visit and we had jacket potato with tuna, winter vegetable soup and blue cheese with bacon beefburgers.
The staff seemed willing to assist with any diet requests, as some other customers ordered drinks with different milk types such as coconut milk and this was not a problem.
After lunch we treated ourselves to their tempting cakes and again we were very impressed.
As it was January and a bit chilly we ate indoors, but in the milder months there is extensive outside eating/garden area available with views directly onto the canal.
We will definitely be returning to this tearoom.
However the coffee is potentially the worst coffee I've ever been served in a cafe. Tastes of absolutely nothing and the staff clearly had zero clue or interest in producing a good drink. Also for some reason the server topped up my flat white with boiling water, which was most strange. Still charging the same prices as somewhere that has spent time and money on good equipment and staff training.
Probably okay if you just want a tea and a scone, but probably won't return.
