Excellent place to visit for first time all staff friendly and work well as a team not like some other places I have visited

Lovely pot of tea in proper china cups! Nice sandwich, great cakes. Plenty of parking. Friendly, but professional staff.

Assuming (from the photos) that this is the same place we just visited called Tea Beside the Orchard I must say we had a first class experience. Really welcoming, lovely food and the service couldn’t have been nicer. It cheered up a wet morning.

Having been here numerous times before this occasion, we have loved the food, service and atmosphere. However ai think its now under new management and its AWFUL!! Arrived for Mother’s Day, to be told no heat/electricity due to back up generator issues (you’d think they would have put a sign up up warning incoming customers!) . Ordered the full afternoon tea for 2 and a sandwich. Only hot drinks were tea and coffee and cold drinks. The Afternoon tea sandwiches were awful, just rushed and no effort made , mismatched cut and just messy, hardly any fillings! The sausage rolls were cold due to unable to heat as were the scones- which were just falling apart. We were given no side plates, serviettes or cutlery. The cakes, well Aldi were better and to be honest these were just laughable It was just really bad and the price of £16:95 per person is a just offensive! However heard a few people whispering saying the same thing , so glad it wasn’t just us. The owners should have been clear and said certain things not available and avoid such comments like these . I don’t think we will be returning here again which is a shame as we did like this place. I do hope the owners take note as they could have either shut shop or just be truthful and offer limited menu! They need to fox up before the summer otherwise I can’t see them lasting! I gave it a 2 as the tea was ok’ish!

Without a shadow of a doubt, the rudest people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting!I went for an afternoon tea with my mum and elderly grandmother. We ordered 3 cream teas and waited an abnormally and unnecessarily long time for them to arrive. After enquiring multiple times as to where our food and drinks were, items started to arrive in dribs and drabs despite the waitress stating that food and drinks would arrive together as you would expect from a cream tea. After some confusion among the unapologetic staff, our food finally arrived and we began eating, the food was nice but definitely should not have taken half an hour to prepare and the cafe was not busy. Finally, when we had eaten all the food whilst waiting, and around 45 minutes had passed since ordering, we enquired again as to where our drinks were. The order was not complex, 2 teas and one coffee. This simple enquiry resulted in a waitress shouting at us extremely aggressively and slamming the money for one drink back on our table. This behaviour was entirely unjustified, rude and unacceptable. We finally received the two teas that had clearly been sat there since we ordered them from an unapologetic waitress but were refused the coffee. We had heard other tables complaining amongst themselves about the disorganisation of the staff and I hope they did not receive the same treatment.I will not be visiting tea by the orchard again and would not recommend it to others. The food was fine but the nature of the staff entirely ruined what should’ve been a simple yet nice lunch.

Unfortunately tables not wiped between customers so those and floor dirty , food fine but very expensive for amount received , you can see the toilet pan while sitting at eating tables as it opens straight to the cafe with a single door
