The Chilli Bite - Ashford

I planned a surprise 'Tea Party ' with Trevor the owner as a thank you to my friends for all their love support this year. I knew I wanted a bespoke menu not the 'Afternoon Tea ' or 'Cream Tea ', which are just as wonderful. I was so pleased to discover that a familiar high street tearoom 'Church View Tearooms ' would be just the ticket. As a local I knew by reputation the quality of the food having gone there when I was in finer fettle, the setting, the crockery ambience would all fit the image I had of what I wished. When I rang Trevor, the owner, explaining how I wanted to have a traditional tea party that you evoke from your childhood with trifle, fairy cakes, jam tarts, sausage rolls cheese straws, he made the dream a reality, anything I asked was possible, and finer details were discussed to ensure all went well. Everything that came to our table was freshly made or freshly baked to perfection. My centre piece was a Victoria Sponge, which was beyond words to describe how it tasted, it was the 'piece de resistance ', everything left was packed up to come home too with boxes he provided. My friends could not help but relish at every mouthful they took. I can not recommend 'Church View Tearooms ' highly enough. The host, Trevor staff saw to our every need, he 's a lovely host and that adds to the whole experience. I think we should support our local businesses in this way, if I had never enquired about my bespoke Tea Party it would have never happened. So here is the biggest thankyou to an excellent five star deserving business. We have a real gem in our high street, don 't miss out on a visit!!

Fantastic little place. Home made chilli and rice, was delicious. Probably the best place to eat in the town. Thankyou Trever

Such a beautiful little tea room with amazing staff and fabulous food which was great value for money. We celebrated our 15th year wedding anniversary here with a delicious afternoon tea sandwiches, scones, cake all freshly prepared and looked and tasted amazing And the staff where just so nice, pleasant and easy to talk to and made sure we where well looked after. I would say if your in Ashford it's well worth looking for this quaint beautiful little tea room next to St Mary's Church and enjoying some delicious food Thank you guys

I absolutely LOVE this quaint little Tearoom tucked away by the tranquility of The Church in Ashford Town away from all the hustle and bustle of the High Street with outside seating beside the Church. Makes me feel like Ive been transported back in time to a much slower and simpler way of life. Extremely relaxing place to get away from all the stresses of life. The Tearoom itself is so quirky with all its original features. A lovely historical building that you can picture how people used to live whilst you sip your traditionally served tea. Perfect place for total relaxtion. The Tearoom staff are so friendly and caring too. They pay real personal attention to their customers and the Tea and variety of food is delicious. Its a MUST visit for anyone that wants to relax and enjoy a warm welcome.

Lovely fresh sandwiches, made to order. Had the pastrami and coleslaw today with a latte to wash it down, it was fantastic.
