Betty Bumbles Vintage Tea Rooms

Beautifully run tea shop very nice home made cakes everything freshly made, I stopped here on my motorbike Sat 7/10/23 14/10/23 cappuccino snacks at very reasonable price attentive staff clean tables toilets

£4.50 for buttered scone seems high to me.(2.50 for coffee fine . Asked for bill. Card machine brought to me and told total. Asked for till bill. Was told might not be possible. Was given bill with total sum only. Queried price (not welcome and was told scone/coffee was priced as a ‘cream tea’. (Scones, a common purchase in a tea room, not priced on menu.

I went to this tea room on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch and was disappointed. The place was pretty, but the woman who asked us to sit at a table (not sure if she was the owner or manager) was not welcoming and very rude. We ordered brie, bacon, and cranberry toasties, which came with a sad excuse for a salad and a few crisps. The portions were small and the toasties were soggy. The ladies' toilet was also unpleasant. The whole experience cost £7.50, and I believe the establishment should be embarrassed. They need to improve their food portions and service. A smile goes a long way in the hospitality industry, and if you can't be pleasant to customers, you shouldn't be working in the front of house.

Booked for Mothers Day Afternoon Tea, and what an absolute delight it was. We arrived to a warm, friendly welcome. It was busy, but that's what you expect for mothers day and it was lovely to see so many others enjoying themselves. We were not rushed in any way and the sandwiches were made to order and were fresh, not pre prepared and left to go stale. The wait enabled us to enjoy the time we had with each other and when the food came out we were not disappointed. It was delicious, fresh and tasty. The scones were still warm and the cakes delicious and with a bottomless teapot, it was really great value. The staff although very busy, still took time to chat, smile and provide excellent service. This place is a hidden gem.

First time spending Mothers Day here, and what a lovely tea. It was a really busy day but all the food was freshly prepared the scones were straight from the oven and the tea was really filling. Lovely round of fresh sandwiches accompanied by layers of treats including cakes at the top tier and a really nicely paced day. No rush for us which was nice and good value. Mum also had a lovely time. Thanks for a lovely day and all your hard work.
