First time in the Stokes for Cream Tea and it was worth it apart from few glitches with the service. Food is excellent. Sandwiches are tasty, Pies are yummy, Scones are lovely and little cakes are scrumptious. The chosen teas are excellent. We chose the Lush cream tea which came with a glass of Prosecco each.
The staff are attentive and friendly, but they forgot certain things like milk for tea, some cutlery, and most importantly, clotted cream for the Scones, which I had to go and ask. They were apologetic.
Otherwise it was great, decent atmosphere and the shop downstairs is sweet with selection of cakes, biscuits, coffees, teas. We are big fans of their Coffee pods and bought some home.
Don't let the scaffolding fool you! Behind it is an amazing little restaurant, cafe and takeaway.
We stopped by for breakfast on Sunday and we absolutely loved it. Not the cheapest of places, but worth every penny. The food was delicious and a healthy portion size to boot. All the dishes were full of flavour and quality. Coffees were great as well.
The staff were friendly, fast and attentive. We'd definitely go back.
I had breakfast with my partner Saturday morning, it was busy and we had English breakfast, Benedict eggs and some small donuts. The food wasn't something special, it was ok, the service was really good and fast and nice and the atmosphere was good with the view to the river and was cozy and relaxing with nice music. I had nice time!
Great venue lovely atmosphere with good views from our window seats. Staff are excellent, friendly and very obliging. Good menu choices all at good prices. They have a light bite restaurant on ground floor plus a full menu restaurant on 2nd floor via a old fashioned staircase. Really please as we have been trying for a few years to go here.
A little slice of history with lovely food! Great Omelette, fab chips, a lovely cheese scone and quiche of the day was our lunch of choice.
The omelette was great but the quiche was a little soggy due to the roasted veg.
The service was fab and friendly.
We will return
This place is the full package, they have the style food and flavour. The coffee is really nice, but the cake really was something else. I had the lemon drizzle which I highly recommend, the pain au Chocolat was also lovely and I believe it was made in house. The strawberry frape was ok, wasn't anything special. If you come here you have to have a look around as the building is full of old charm.
What a beautiful place to have a coffee or hot chocolate, and a warm scone with jam and clotted cream. I had the full house hot choc, made, and served by Alice, and it was absolutely superb, one of the nicest hot chocolates I've had. We were also served by Lumi, both her and Alice were super friendly and gave us perfect service. I absolutely recommend giving it a visit! Thank you Lumi and Alice, you made it a great visit 😘
A beautiful and historic place to relax and enjoy an afternoon tea. The tea was delish and the food was very tasty. Lumi and Joe were fun and attentive servers!
Had lunch here, sat upstairs were you can get more substantial meals than the coffee and cake cafe downstairs. We had the BBQ pulled pork and falafel wraps and our two year old had the fish fingers from the kids menu. All were really nice and decent value, the kids meal was huge! Great view down onto the high street and it’s just a quirky historic building to eat in. Worth a visit. Service was very friendly.
Had a lovely lunch here, had a couple of vegan options. However it was quite loud and busy which meant service was quite slow. Wish they had a couple more vegan options like a vegan wrap and gluten free wraps weren’t so expensive (an extra 1.50).
My vegan scone was quite nice, wish it was warmed up though! And the vegan GF sand which was filled with avocado which was good! But we did have to wait 20 minutes for it.
