Honeydale Farm Tea Rooms

Gorgeous cake in a beautiful setting. I popped in on a whim this week whilst out and about with my daughter in her pushchair. The staff could not have been more courteous and accommodating. The carrot cake was delicious and a generous portion for the price. I will definitely be making return visits in the near future!

What a shame!

Used to frequent honeydale on a regular basis and always enjoyed the food and friendly atmosphere at reasonable prices for a relaxed lunchtime treat.

Sadly things have changed. I understand that costs have increased but the price increases are extortionate, the atmosphere is no longer friendly and the staff are rude.

I raised the issue of being overcharged for a basket of chips. I was charged £3 instead of £1.50. The waitress argued it with me. Told me I was advised of this when ordering, which I wasn’t. After going away to discuss, another member of staff agreed to refund me the difference £1.50 and BANNED ME AND MY 84 YEAR OLD MOTHER FROM RETURNING!!

All they had to do was apologise, refund £1.50 with a smile and all would have been fine.

I obviously won’t be returning, not because I’m banned but because it’s not a pleasant place to eat anymore.

We've eaten here several times and have had good food and service. However the last 2 times have been very disappointing due to poor service. By the time we received our scones, our tea had gone cold. When we asked to have our tea re-made, we were charged for it again and when we questioned this, the waitress denied that our tea was cold. Whatever happened to the customer is always right?!
We thought we'd visit again just in case the last time was a one off bad experience. Unfortunately this wasn't the case. We waited 15 minutes to get our order taken - had to ask someone to come over to our table. Then another 15 minutes for 2 cups of tea and 2 scones - again, after asking when our order would arrive. When paying the bill,
we asked if they were busy, we were told it wasn't busy but our order hadn't gone through and they had to wait for a fresh batch of scones to bake. If we had been told this at the outset then we would have been fine with that rather thinking that we'd been forgotten. We won't be back which is a real shame as the setting is beautiful. The young male waiter was very good at his job and this review is no reflection of his customer service.

Lovely food,staff very friendly.

Today I visited Honeydale tea rooms !
I was blown away with the impeccable service by a young man named Lucas & a young lady Liberty !
They were so helpful , we were a very demanding table of lady’s that lunch and not once did their enthusiasm fade. They made us very welcome & we’re so helpful and polite . The food was very nice too ! I would definitely go back and hope to be served by these wonderful humans again!
Many thanks !
A very happy customer!! :-)

Spur of the moment afternoon tea. First time here and can highly recommend. Staff polite and friendly. Scrumptious sandwiches and the best scones I've ever tasted. With a beautiful view to make a lovely time even better. Definitely be back.

The food at Honeydale Farm tea rooms is fantastic. The ingredients in the cooked breakfast are of the best quality and the cakes are all fantastic. Only minor thing is the coffee could be improved with fresher beans and some training for those making it. On the rare occasion it is full, the Italian place next door is also highly recommended!

This was a lovely place to have breakfast, the food was fresh and very good quality. The eggs were cooked to perfection, the sausage was very tasty. I had white crusty bread with butter it was thick and very tasty. I would recommend it.
