The Tea Room - Carta

Found this hidden gem just off the promenade....well worth a visit. Sandwiches were freshly made and good,quality bread used. Cake wasn't dry and good portion size. Plenty of tea in the pot. What's not to like ??

Enjoyable atmosphere, good acoustics and great range of food. I had breakfast with friends at 10am Friday and chose coconut hot chocolate and the pancakes which were delicious. Great range of herbal teas as well.

Since many years this is our favourite place to go to for afternoon tea. We love the cream tea there. Sandwiches are also very good. Staff is very friendly and helpful. And then afterwards a nice walk on the beach which is just opposite. For us a perfect day out : Ver carta

Visited here for a celebration with friends. Food was lovely. We had luxury creams teas and they were delicious. Very disappointed with the level of service. We had to ask for everything we needed ie napkins, knifes to cut the scones and forks for the cake. It wasn’t busy so not sure why we couldn’t get the basics

First visit since before lockdown. Service by the youngsters was excellent. However, very disappointing the menu has not changed and STILL does not serve vegan food. Choices limited to salad or jacket potato with beans . They do have oat milk, but you have to pay 30p. Seriously behind the times and not catering for 2022 public. Still also incredibly noisy and having a conversation is near on impossible. Sadly, after 12 years, won't be going back.

We were given a voucher for Christmas for a luxury cream tea. It was valued for 6 months which I thought was fair. We were in Lee so gave them a ring to see if we could go in. So glad we did as it was really good. Plenty of filling in the fresh bread sandwiches. The scone was fresh and tasty and the cake was delicious. We both had coffee and I’m fussy about coffee but it was very nice and it was hot which is not usually the case. So I would highly recommend it. Ver carta

Very disappointing afternoon tea today. both our coffees were lukewarm and my piece of Victoria sponge was VERY Stale! when I politely meant ironed it I was unpleasantly told “ nobody else has complained“ making it out to be me trying to get money off. Very dissapinted and won’t be returning. I’m 80 years old and not one to make a fuss. (written on behalf of my mother) 1*. we were regulars but presumed they have changed ownership. On a positive note the lady who served us was delightful

Popped in for a drink and piece of cake. Sat inside to have a chat with family and had to move outside as couldn 't hear waitress or each other due to approx 10 ladies have an alcoholic afternoon tea. I love seeing people enjoying themselves but they took over the whole place. When paying I said I am unable to leave a tip due to the noise and having to move outside and the reply was 'its not our problem nothing we can do. '. I feel a more senior member of staff would have not allowed this or replied in this way. Milkshakes were made with warm milk too, very disappointed with visit.

We stumbled across this cafe as we’d parked our car a little away from the seafront I’m so pleased we did. We were only going to get a coffee as usually I’m coeliac) it’s too difficult to find anything that’s gluten free and suitable. I asked the waitress “ do you have anything gluten free” and was pleasantly surprised that they do gluten free bread for sandwiches) and also had a selection of cakes. We both had scones, jam, butter and cream which were served warm and were delicious . The price was reasonable including a coffee or pot of tea. Now I know that I can eat here I’ll come hungry next time! Ver carta
