Discovered this little gem of a place in March 2016 when out and about on the buses for the day with my elderly mother. I say that because it takes 2hrs 30mins and 3 buses for us to get to Midhurst so it has to be something pretty special to entice us to visit again, which we did yesterday. Cockburns Tea Rooms really is delightful and without doubt has the most polite and engaging staff who are happy and cheerful. Tea served the old fashioned way accompanied by a delicious variety of cakes. Superb sandwiches, lunch bites too and a proper afternoon tea for which they are famous (you do have to reserve though) Lots more on the menu which we'll discover next month. A real must if you're in the area .... and if you're not then certainly worth the effort.
Great place, staff good and great food just a very nice place to enjoy a coffee, tea or lunch.
Thank you so much for the amazing Sussex Cream Tea Alison & Gil. Not often I am beaten! You have a lovely tea room/bistro - would thoroughly recommend it and will certainly return it we go by that way again.
Lovely traditional tea rooms with great food, beautiful decor and friendly staff. When my wife told them it was my birthday, they produced a piece of cake with a lit candle, on the house!
We had a superb afternoon tea here. Lovely staff, charming setting and delicious food. Can't wait to go back!
Fantastic tea room. Had afternoon tea for 5 of us. So much food. They even bought out a piece of cake with a candle for my mum whos birthday we were celebrating. Tea selection was lovely. Staff are very friendly.
Fantastic , best cream tea hubby has had in 44 years, will definitely be going back, friendly warm welcome from all the staff
Nice tea. Nice place. Nice town. Plus cool sweet shop
Delightful afternoon tea at Cockburns. Copious amounts of tea and topped off by amazing scones, clotted cream, jam and fresh strawberries.
Delicious....We drive here from Worthing a couple of times a month. Great service, great food...what's not to like <3
Lovely people.....................................................................................
Excellent service and food, not to be missed!
Fabulous gluten free cake and scones served in a traditional way.
Best tearoom by a mile and I have been to a lot, it is also local so it can't get any better than that!
Had an amazing meal at the French night last night. Well done Cockburns, this is exactly what Midhurst needs.
Lovely food and great service! Scones to die for...!
A lovely little traditional tea room. For a real treat and to feel a bit special I recommend. In a nice setting in a lovely village.
We came just for the cream tea and was worth it.
You can book for a bit more special experiance and they have a lot of choice on the menu.
Its a small place and so if you are coming from far go on week day or book to make sure you get a table.
It's relaxing and you feel away from the hustle and bustle of life for a while.
So worth a visit.
A wonderful tea room.
We went as a group of 4 plus a toddler and a dog.
The team were incredible, so warm and friendly and genuinely eager to ensure we had a great experience.
The table was beautifully presented, and when we were seated every effort was made to accommodate my daughter who can be a little handsy.
Tea was served promptly and was lovely, and again the staff were very accommodating to my friend who is very particular to how he has his coffee.
The food followed and was delicious! A wonderful selection of treats that were enjoyed by all.
A fabulous afternoon was had by all.
We can't wait to come back again.
A delightful traditional English tea house. We chose the English breakfast tea blend which we found just right to go with our afternoon tea of sandwiches, scones and cake. Friendly staff and a uniquely English environment made our visit more than a one off. We look forward to more visits in the future...
I was given an afternoon tea for two here as a gift. Lovely, traditional tea room with friendly staff. The tea was delicious, sandwiches very fresh and beautifully light scones and a selection of small cakes. We would highly recommend this lovely tea room. We will be revisiting.
Tea and cakes amazing. Unfortunately we waited ages to receive the bill
Best cream tea we ever had! Great little spot, truly captures the community feel. We found it by chance but always mention this place to others. Lovely memory back in 2014. Hopefully to return again.
A delightful tea room with a lively ambience and the best quality of food and service. They are welcoming and really value their customers.
Lovely little tea room, with a fantastic atmosphere and very cheery staff. It has a great charm that is hard to find.
Nice garden centre, good selection of plants plus small/moderate pet supplies section. Haven't busted the cafe yet.
Beautiful place to have tea. Had my 80th birthday tea there excellent service.
