Mabel's Tearoom - Lichfield

First time visit and so impressed. Lovely varied menu. Had chicken sandwich and veg sandwich followed by cream tea and Victoria sponge. All excellent and one of the best cream teas we have had for many months. (All served in proper cups and saucers too) Menu looks expensive but high quality and big portions make it good value. An excellent afternoon treat and we will return.

I stopped by for a snack during lunchtime. Many tables were already occupied. The food was well presented and delicious. I would definitely recommend it.

It was far from peaceful. Music from the speakers was loud . The staff were too few and running round making me feel dizzy watching their efforts. Menu was very sameish sour dough and eggs seem to predominate . Soup was £8 which I think is way too expensive. Seems all about profit at the expense of customers and staff.

We came here for breakfast and I decided to try something different from the menu - a chilli jam cream cheese naan bread. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was and I can't wait to go back for it again. The coffee was great and a big bonus was that the restaurant is dog-friendly.

After reading the reviews on this site, I completely agree with them. I also had a negative experience with the staff. I had planned to bring a group of people to this restaurant next year, as we have had to cancel many outings due to COVID-19, and I knew they would have enjoyed browsing the various shops nearby. However, when I inquired about it, the staff member was very rude. As someone who has worked in Hospitality for many years, I believe a smile and a friendly greeting are essential to making customers feel comfortable. Needless to say, I will not be bringing anyone to this restaurant. I am surprised they are still in business. This experience occurred before COVID-19 emerged and it seems like their service has not improved.
