The Secret Garden Tearoom - Sunderland

We always visit this gorgeous little tea room and yesterday we had the afternoon tea delivered to work. It was AMAZING!!! Food to die for, service fantastic and so reasonably priced!! I love it and highly recommend to all!!

Make sure to make a reservation before you visit this restaurant! We learned the hard way when we sat at a table with a small child without a reserved sign. We had to go search for a staff member to assist us. This cafe is located at the rear of a carpet store.

Booking is recommended as space is limited! Gorgeous afternoon tea,friendly and warm welcome! Fresh as a daisy at 1545 ... unlike some other establishments Huge variety placed in front of us too! We will be back ! Yes, I stand by my statement that you are on par with Fortnum and Mason! Lovely

Me and my daughter popped out for a cheeky slice of cake. We both had a toffee caramel cake. It was clearly home made, and so moist and served with a nice dollop of Lickety Split's Cinderella ice-cream. This quaint little cafe is a bit quirky, and found up a back lane of all places. However, the food and hospitality are beyond reproach! Would I go back? In a heartbeat,

We had a great experience at this restaurant when we pre-booked for 10 girls to celebrate our children's birthdays. After spending the morning at Wet and Wild, we brought 6 11-year-olds and 4 14-year-olds to the restaurant. Although it was very busy, our table was ready and the staff were incredibly helpful. There were various themed teas available, but we chose the traditional option with a variety of sandwiches, cheese scones, Victoria sponge cake, cheesecake, and cream tea scones. The children were famished after their morning activities and devoured almost everything on the table. My husband and I were also very full, but every bite was delicious and we found ourselves wanting more. The cheese and pickle scones were my husband's favorite, while I couldn't get enough of the cheesecake. The attention to detail in the food, including the homemade jam, was impeccable. Despite some previous reviews mentioning slow service times, we found that good things come to those who wait. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future.
