Those who know me will know how much I love this place. It is my first love when it comes to tea rooms due to many lovely memories there, cosy inside on wintery days or sitting in the sunshine in the summer. It has no website, no twitter, no instagram, it remains a vintage classic place for a lovely cuppa and a cream tea. As long as I can remember Blue Willow china patterns have donned the walls and the tables and in the years I've been going there the only change has been a recent extension...

Attached to their vintage shop is Cox and Belouney’s Tea Room. Which serve their own blends of tea in ‘Granny’s china’. I was in a bit of a rush, so as I didn’t have time for a full cream tea, I tried Ethels Cream Tea – a blend of Ceylon, white chocolate pieces, strawberry slices and roman chamomile flowers. It was delicious, and the waitress recommended a splash of milk which made it even more scrummy. I wish I could have lingered longer in that lovely tea room.
