Loved our afternoon break from shopping at Margarets tea room. After being told at another well known coffee shop they had no room we chanced going to see Des at his tea room .
As soon as I walked in I felt comfortable the choice of tea was amazing and cakes divine had sandwiches aswell which were fantastic .
A definite must forget everywhere else Margaret's Tea room is a must if you are visiting Lincoln .
Thank you !
Such a great find! This a beautiful tea room and a hidden gem. So many teas to choose from but I can honestly say that Scotch Mist is the nicest tea I’ve ever had. Such a fantastic blend of lavender and bergamot among other delights. This is more than a tea room it’s a tea sampling experience and you are made so welcome. Delicious cakes too!!
Absolutely sublime, amazing attention to detail, wonderful relaxed atmosphere, welcoming and beautiful. The staff are friendly, service was brilliant, nothing too much trouble. Children are welcomed, try the Kinder cake! The afternoon tea is five star and the tea selection is fab, though you don't have to have tea, they have coffee and soft drinks as well. Margaret's has a great back story as well and is down to the hard work of the owner. Highly recommend and will be back soon.
Had a lovely visit to Margaret's tea room with my daughter, such a beautiful friendly place to have a cup of tea and a piece of cake, would definitely recommend.
What a wonderful, quaint, hidden gem! Perfect for afternoon tea, reasonably priced and great friendly welcome. Would highly recommend. We luckily found a table but would suggest booking beforehand to avoid disappointment.
Lovely afternoon tea, very lovely atmosphere. Can not recommend enough. Tastes amazing. Good fun for a afternoon tea hen party.
Spent an absolutely fabulous couple of hours here with my daughter the tea rooms are immaculate and very pretty the different choice of teas are sublime and the food was excellent on top of all that the customer service from the owner is the best I’ve had for years friendly informative and welcoming we’ll definitely be back I’m already missing birthday cake flavour tea �
What an amazing little place. Four of us had the afternoon tea which was scrummy and we had the most delicious tea. There was a huge selection which the lovely Des described perfectly well to us. Why would we want to go anywhere else! We will definitely return and highly recommend it to everyone we know. Fabulous!
This place is amazing spent a couple of hours with friends this afternoon, The choice of tea is amazing and the knowledge of the owner des is second to none great fresh food and cake too with the best customer service I've had in a long time Looking forward to a second visit and afternoon tea very soon.
Amazing afternoon tea, so many choices of tea too. Well done Des, a really lovely tea room. Highly recommend a visit.
Had a fantastic time today for my Hen Party at Margaret's. Afternoon tea was delicious and Des was amazing all afternoon. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon. :) Thank you Des.
I had to change my plans at a late stage and im so pleased i did , blooming lovely afternoon tea, fresh fantastic food and fancy tea , a fabulous atmosphere and a few good giggles thrown in. Thanks Des for your wonderfully funny stories, can't wait to come back for more . Would highly recommend. �
Had one of the best times ever yesterday - we went for my daughter's birthday and everything was fabulous - great food, amazing teas, lovely staff and Des was the best host ever - Wish and Blow Des �� xx
Yesterday, 7 friends and I had afternoon tea at Margaret’s. The food and hospitality was wonderful and Des is a fabulous host. I shall certainly be going again and will recommend it to everyone.
I visited today with my family as a surprise for my sister's 30th birthday. Des and the team went above and beyond to make it a special and memorable day for us all. The food was fabulous and we were like kids in a sweetshop with the tea selection! Des was born to do what he does, both in terms of baking and customer service. The cakes are to die for and we all rolled out the door bursting at the seams and beaming from ear to ear. This will most definitely become a regular lunchtime haunt for years to come. Thank you so very much for exceeding our expectations x
Absolutely stunning experience at Margaret’s Tea Rooms yesterday. We were all made to feel really welcome and the red velvet cake was delicious. The tea selection is exceptional. Lovely place to meet with friends! We’ll be back x
We had really quality time here. The owner is so passionate and humorous to make our stay memorable and relaxing. They offer a variety of great tea served with delicious cakes, not to mention the lovely atmosphere and the cosy furnishing. We rank Orange cake and brownie top on our list! Overall, it's excellent and definitely worth a visit!
The place location is very great and the decoration is captivating.
👍👍👍 The food was very very tasty and great. I was going to order afternoon tea at 15.30 but I was told that this should be booked in advance. So I got (Cheddar sandwiches + salads + crisps, Tuna sandwiches, Fruit scones + jam + cream+ strawberry, Carrot cake and normal tea) nearly afternoon tea but without the afternoon tea stand 😅.
The thing that I would like to be concerned is that at my specific experience I found some difficulty in communication (Visitor - English not my mother tongue) with some staff which if concerned will be very appreciated, though I'm not ruling out that I also have to learn/adjust to different speed and pitches.
My order was larger than the table space which made me and my partner uncomfortable though there were some free large tables.
Me, my partner and two friends visited this little gem yesterday and absolutely loved it! Really friendly staff and amazing choice of flavoured and herbal tea. The sandwiches were soft and delicious! Also a nice selection of scones and cakes, lovely interior and we will be returning on our next visit to Lincoln!
Everything you could hope for in a tiny package. An excellent host who interacted with all customers. A wide range of tea flavours (we tried 3 different ones and were so impressed we even bought some to take home) and you get a proper tea pot full, no daft one cup offering here! We had afternoon tea which should appeal to any sweet toothed person it came with a generous selection of cakes and some finger sandwiches and salad, just enough so you can pretend it was a healthy meal.
The decor is very unique, nothing chain store in sight.
If you like small and boutique I'd highly recommend a visit. We went for a hen-do but will go back as a couple.

Delightful tea room opposite small park area. Friendly service. However I have just removed 1 star as I've seen the amount charged for 2 latte (hot but not the best) and 1 piece of cake which was expensive. Sadly we will not be returning for that reason.
Just wow. Wonderful place with fabulous customer service and delicious food and coffee. I’ve never a better experience of afternoon tea. Would definitely return.
We had a lovely afternoon tea here, which consisted of cute little sandwich fingers, scones, a variety of mini cakes (chocolate orange cake, carrot cake, maccaroons etc), pork pies.
We also had the funky flavoured tea called 'Birthday cake', would highly recommend! A nice treat indeed.
Des was a great host and owner!
Once again Margaret's Tea Room excellent.
Gorgeous cakes and afternoon tea a delight.
I live in North West and a trip here is always on my to do list.
Des and the tea room will be missed when he closes in June.
