Reviews Overview

Customers absolutely adore the uniquely themed afternoon teas offered, especially during the festive seasons. Whether it’s Halloween or Christmas, the creativity shines through in each presentation. Many rave about the fresh ingredients— every dish feels wholesome and made with love. The tea selection impresses too, with various brews available, ranging from classic everyday tea to fragrant Earl Grey and refreshing green tea. Guests appreciate the value for money; generous portion sizes at reasonable prices draw in the crowds, making it excellent for special occasions—like birthdays.
The friendly staff amplify the experience, often going above and beyond to ensure drinks are topped up and dietary needs are catered to. Clean and comfortable surroundings really add to the charm, enhancing what many consider to be an essential Scunthorpe haven.
Most Disliked
While most reviews sing praises, some diners express a desire for a more expanded menu. Although the current offerings are delightful, food enthusiasts occasionally hope for more variety, especially in the dessert department. On busy days, some customers mention longer wait times, which can detract from the otherwise joyful atmosphere. Additionally, larger groups sometimes find it challenging to secure immediate seating due to popular demand. This can lead to a lively, bustling environment that, while inviting, might not be everyone's cup of tea. Despite these concerns, the overall experience retains a wonderful charm that locals cherish.
Parking can also be a minor issue during peak hours, as the location doesn’t offer extensive space. Arriving at off-peak times can ease this concern.

I ordered a takeaway afternoon tea for a little birthday treat for my mum. It was a last minute order and they managed to make one up for me although they were busy. Mum was delighted with it and said it was delicious. Thank you, lovely people and delicious food 😊
