My friend and I could not find anywhere in the town centre for lunch and came across The Glass House by accident so decided to pop in. We were pleasantly surprised by the comfortable seating and privacy as we sat left of the door. Staff are polite and attentative. Food was freshly made, very reasonably priced and tasted fantastic!! A bottle of fizzy water cost £1.. Yes I know I was shocked too!! 2 x luxury panini, 3 huge slices of coffee & walnut cake, 1 slab of chocolate cake, pot of tea, hot chocolate and a 500ml bottle of fizzy water came to £18 Absolutely excellent place to eat and will be returning!! P.S we didn't eat all the cake, took some home for the boys

A lovely little tea room with polite staff and good food. Value for money is good too. Couldn’t recommend a better place to go for lunch if you are in the area.

Had lunch here today. Simple menu that meets all your needs for lunch and many choices of sandwich and fillings. I chose a tuna melt toastie which came with a small, simple salad, coleslaw and crisps. The usual choice of white or wholemeal bread. You could also have panini or ordinary sandwiches. There were cakes and the usual drinks We had a lovely big pot ot tea served with bone china cups and saucers. The man who served us couldn’t have been more kind and helpful I would definitely visit again

The food was delicious and the service excellent. Staff were extremely helpful and very happy to cater specially for my 7 month daughter. I’ll definitely be returning and would recommend to others. Great local business.

A home from home. I absolutely love this little tea room. I often come in with my baby or just on my own and nothing is too much trouble for John and Tracey. Always a warm welcome, a chat and some delicious food especially the New York bagel and John’s homemade cakes! I often grab a tea and cake and get John to do me a takeaway lunch! Thanks guys for always making me feel so welcome.

Fantastic location to have lunch. One of the best in town.
Had a lovely lunch here today. Jacket Potatoes hit the spot on a cold blustery day. And the scones were warm and had clotted cream. What's not to like? ?

Great food. Friendly staff. Very helpful with advising us on what is gluten free on the menu and cleaning the kitchen surfaces before preparing the gluten free meal. Will visit again.
