We've had this place on our list to try and visit for a while now and today we finally had the chance. It's a gorgeous little tearoom set in a lovely spot just outside Clumber Park. The staff were all super helpful and friendly. There is a designated area indoors to sit if you have your dogs with you, the staff made a big fuss of our two pooches and treated them with dog biscuits. We both ordered sandwich platters with a side of chips, it was all just delicious and very well presented. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back again 😊
Lovely location and food - just be aware that breakfast menu finishes at 11.30am and lunch doesn't start till midday.
Saturday afternoon visit for 2. This is an old school in the middle of nowhere just off the main road and we have visited several times. This time we had lunch. It is a traditional cafe restaurant with about 20 covers indoors and a number of picnic tables outside. It specialises in home made scones and they are fresh and delicious. The limitations of the building mean that disabled access is limited. The main door is narrow and there is a small step to overcome. Having said that the staff are helpful and accommodating as you try and get in. This place is usually busy so call before you go...although when I called this time I couldn't get through, they fitted us in on spec. There is parking available although at peak times you may end up on the road. The site is very popular with cyclists. There used to be table clothes which made the place look much nicer, not sure why this has stopped but it looks much more "motorway services" than it used to.
I had carrot and corriander soup which was substantial and delicious along with cheesy chips. The chips were simple oven chips but we're well cooked and tasty. We also had a chilli jacket which was pleasant, the chilli had a slightly synthetic taste but wasn't unpalatable. The decor is shabby chique with pine floors and a high, school hall, ceiling, lovely atmosphere. On another visit I had the Sunday roast and that was amazing, really tasty and well done. Sadly no whole milk for lattes and flat whites so be warned if you love your coffee. The tea was excellent.
I will definitely go back, especially for the cakes and scones.
If you found my review helpful I would be grateful for a 👍.
