Tucked amid gardens, a swan pond and period homes, the tea room resembles a Victorian-era movie set. The crumpets, cream teas and classical music just add to the setting. Drop by for a spot of tea or enjoy a leisurely meal of ploughman's lunch, quiche or meat pie. A constantly rotating dinner and tapas menu is served Friday and Saturday.
