The Orangery Tea House

Gorgeously decorated interior and friendly staff. The raspberry and chocolate cake was super delicious with a gorgeous fudgy texture, the tangy raspberry splashes throughout were divine! There was a tiny piece of coffee cake left which was perfect for my smaller appetite. The lady on the till offered it to me at a reduced cost which I was so pleased about. The coffee was so delicious and beautifully presented. We didn't have a table number when we ordered so said we would wait and carry our own cake and coffee to a table outside, a friendly waiter said he'd find us anyway and brought it out which was a lovely touch from him! Unfortunately the wasps were out in force today which made sitting in the garden not quite as relaxing as I can imagine it could be. The staff were on top of clearing tables to help with this problem too which was amazing to see! Would be better to have availability of menus a little clearer when arriving.

I’ve been here 3 times; the first time was the best experience for me. The food was fab, great atmosphere and a lovely shop. The two other times were not so good. Today my food was greasy and I had brown lettuce which considered the price one does not expect that at all. As a whole, we enjoy visiting mainly for the atmosphere and because of the bird aviary which overlooks the dining area. We didn’t have any cake today but the display looked amazing!

We had a lovely lunch here with the family, my only complaint is there should be a choice of bread option for toasties. I had bacon brie and cranberry, which was delicious but had to have it on ciabata bread, which is a harder tougher bread. Alot of people opt for brown bread now, when eating bread apart from that it was lovely

A lovely place to have a slice of homemade cake & a cup of coffee or tea. Lots of parking, Disabled access, although going through the shop might be a bit tricky as some of the walk ways seem quite narrow. They have a shop full of housewares, a few plush toys, a very small aviary, compact garden centre, & an aquarium right next door. High chairs for little ones, but if your child is feeling particularly boisterous they could easily break something in the shop, as there are many breakable items within child reach, best to take them out to the garden centre much more room & out in the fresh air! But be prepared to dig deep as it's quite pricey here.

Quaint little cafe which is well decorated. We went in for a tea and the hope of a tasty treat. It was good to see they has gluten free options, but alas, we are also dairy intolerant and there wasn't an option for us - often the case as it's a very niche set of intolerances. It wasn't particularly busy and some tables had dirty crockery on them the entire time we were there. The high teas looked good - not something we can eat, but they looked good none the less.

My friend and I had lunch there today and we were very impressed with the food, the portions were generous, well presented and delicious and the service was excellent. There was a really good range of cakes on display which looked really tempting, but we were too full to try them... next time! We loved the aviary which was a nice touch. The tea room had a really nice mix of different areas to sit, including a conservatory and outdoor tables. Needless to say, my friend and I were most impressed and will be going again soon!
