The Imperial Tearoom

I was very lucky to have a surprise afternoon tea at home for my birthday, just before christmas. Really lovely - highly recommended. Plenty to eat (in fact there was enough for a mini repeat the next day), adapted to our preferences. The vintage crockery, cutlery and table cloth was a lovely touch and made it feel very special. Delivered and collected safely and on time.

I ate here with my wife on a quiet Wednesday morning. The interior was charming, with a vintage feel and we were welcomed with smiles. I had a very tasty fry up and my wife had a freshly made on-site cheese scone which she said was delicious. We very much enjoyed our visit.

Absolutely fantastic, Dawn served us and we had a wonderful time. Afternoon Tea portions were big and fresh, so much that we had to take away some. Will definitely return again and again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a lovely find...the coffee was great, forgot to ask what they used, the carrot cake awesome and the young lady who served us was so polite and friendly. Will certainly be back when next that way.

First of all I noticed apart from one, the reviews are very old.I called in this afternoon and was not satisfied.The pottery was old and did not match, the saucer actually said Silver Jubilee on it, the tea was weak and the fruit cake was no more than mediocre.I paid £6.00 and felt I was expensive.I cannot recommend it and will not return.

Elton the dapple dachshund review Aunty Tina made me very welcome today and gave me 5star scrambled eggs and salmon.I will be back

Called for a light lunch this week as haven't been in for a while. Staff were polite friendly and organised. The food was lovely and presented beautifully. The cakes and scones were fabulous. Would definitely recommend and will be reliving the lovely experience soon. Thank you and well done......

First time in Retford today and I stumbled upon this busy little tearoom.
Fantastic experience from start to finish! I visited with my 8 week old in a pram and they couldn't do enough to help me, from pulling out the chair to clearing space to allow me use of the toilets.
The latte was lovely and the panini was delicious! Great menu choice executed perfectly! At least one new server learning the ropes but I was served quickly to say how busy it was! Thank you for a great, hassle-free service!
