I discovered Elsie’s Vintage Tea Room whilst out doing some delivery driving. I was gobsmacked at its terrific attention to detail, and the whole aesthetic. I knew it was pitch perfect not just got me, but my wife, also.
On my first brief/flying visit, I had (hone-made Battenberg cake, and tea. Lovely! And as soon as I could, I went back, with Teresa, my wife. She loved - or rather loves - it, just as I do.
The decor is incredible. Period details abound. It combines a visual trip down memory lane with totally appropriate period music (Graham, one half of the husband and wife team that run the place is a former DJ!).
The food and drinks are both modest, and modestly priced. A perfect combo’ for relaxed enjoyable eating and drinking. On our first visit as a couple, we both had baked ‘taters. The portions are generous. The fare, simple and unpretentious, is delicious.
We capped it all off with one of their fabled knickerbocker glories. And it was glorious! Elsie’s is only open a few days a week. And it’s advisable to call and book. We can’t wait to get back there again. Highly recommended!
Lovely afternoon tea with my sisters. Plenty of food. My favourite was the cream tea. We asked for extra tea which was delicious. Take cash. No card reader although you can bank transfer.
Lovely traditional & very cosy vintage tea room in a lovely country location.
Elsies can soon fill up & advanced booking is advised.
Nice menu, that whilst limited, is freshly prepared to order & is delicious.
(Lovely cakes too!)
Graham greats everyone warmly & serves everyone with a smile.
There are some vintage 'nick nacks' for sale too.
Worth noting that only cash is accepted, but metric is now taken!
Gorgeous find & we will definitely be back when next in the area.
