Lovely place , first time visiting. We had the afternoon tea booked in. They even made my portion of the food vegetarian , and the rest was normal food. Loved the selection of food and cakes. Also I had cups of teas but others in my party had coffees as well. Really lovely place , will definitely visit again when passing through the town.

Mother's Day Afternoon Tea treat and what a lovely surprise it was. The tearooms are nicely decorated and cozy. Lovely friendly welcome and atmosphere. Nice selection of sandwiches, really fresh, bonus was good quality ham. The quiche/sausage rolls were fresh and delicious. As for the sweet selection wow, far too much had to take some home. Fabulous time will certainly pop in again when that way!

Had afternoon tea with my Mum here. It was delightful, the homemade quiche was so tasty. Loved the vintage bone china everything was served in and the cream and jam served in aperitif glasses was a lovely touch. Couldn't eat it all though so took the leftovers home. I'll be going back for a lunch there so I can try one of the cakes or gateaux that looked so gorgeous

We celebrated our Ruby Anniversary here on Sunday. Absolutely fantastic! Service was excellent nothing too much trouble and you were all so good with our grandchildren. The food was also excellent, everything was so fresh and delicious. Being able to have the tea room for a private function was just what we wanted and the location was perfect for everyone. We cannot thank you enough for a lovely afternoon x Lynda & Paul

It is a beautiful and cute cafe. The afternoon tea was delicious and the service was amazing. I booked the wrong date but they kindly changed it, as well as changing the food because we forgot to say our dietary requirements. Ruth and other staff were so sweet and smiley. They were happy to help and friendly the entire time.

Had a lovely time for my mum’s birthday at Buttercream Tearoom. I’d originally booked for Mother’s Day but was unable to make it but it was made so easy to rearrange! Delicious cakes and sandwiches, lots of selection, and unlimited tea and coffee which was wonderful. Set up nicely for my mum’s birthday and staff were really attentive. Thank you!
