No 29 Sandwiches Coffee - Rushcliffe

As my friend had a big birthday (she won’t want me to divulge her age) I decided to take her somewhere new. I had seen Platform 29 on various social media sites thought it looked very pleasant, so booked. Having never been to Ratcliffe in Trent, we set off on our adventure we were not disappointed. The staff were all very lovely, nothing was too much trouble, even when my friend had an intolerance to mayo which I hadn’t told them about when I booked they had asked about dietary requirements.

Lovely quaint little tea shop. The staff were very pleasant. The sandwiches and cakes and scones were all freshly made and delicious.

We were made most welcome when we arrived, our daughter had pre booked an Afternoon Tea for us. The meal was lovely, the various flavours of sandwiches were prepared on different bread types. The cakes were light and tasty and the home made scones really light, complementing the cream and jam. All accompanied with a big pot of tea. They do a normal cafe menu too I fully recommend it.

I visited this gem in Radcliffe on Trent when looking for lunch whilst on business in the area. The welcome was warm and friendly, I had asked for a table for one and the lady who greeted me offered a table upstairs, just the request not to sit on one set up for afternoon tea. A very reasonable request. I chose the classic ploughman's and a pot of tea. When the ploughman's arrived it looked delicious, it tasted delicious too! Consisting of two really good sized thick slices of tender ham, pork pie, a very good chunk of cheddar, mixed leaves, sliced peppers, onion, cucumber, pickled onions, pickled beetroot, coleslaw and a perfectly cooked and still warm boiled egg. Two slices of granary bread a choice of granary, white or brown) with butter and a pot of tea that served nearly three cups. Without exaggerating, it was one of the best ploughman's I've had the pleasure to eat. This café tucked up in an alley off the main road through Radcliffe is a real gem. There were tables of customers enjoying traditional afternoon tea, and they looked delicious too, a re-visit is definitely in order. Highly recommended and excellent from start to finish.

What a delightful, pleasant and good value tearoom. We went on a Groupon deal but would definitely go again as it is such a great place to eat with a decent selection of food and really good service. They really try to to ensure that you are left feeling satisfied with the value for money and the quality of the food. Well worth a visit!
