The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

The cafe is relatively new to the village having been converted from an old blacksmiths (hence the name). The coffee shop is owned by the same couple who run the Coffee Place in Kettering and they have stuck with the same winning formula. Compact lunchtime menu with teatime treats. Home made biscuits and cakes make for good eating. The interior is contemporary while maintaining the tradition and history of the building. Everytime we have been there the place is buzzing with a good collection of locals, walkers and business people. I would strongly recommend this is place as a point to meet people or grab a coffee after a walk around the village.

One of the cafes employees even came out, noticing us checking out the menu, and told us about the place and what they had, which was the start of great service throughout my visit. The cafe had a wonderful environment and very nice staff. I tried both the Greek yoghurt pancakes and the Nutella with strawberries pancakes, both were presented amazingly and were delicious. Portion sizes were great with 3 thick pancakes each and a healthy portion of toppings. The pancakes were fluffy and light but still filling and overall the best pancakes I could ask for. Service was also very fast. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice breakfast. Warning: there is no English breakfast and apart from the pancakes the mainly specialise in egg dishes.

On our first full day in the UK (from US), we wanted an authentic English meal. After sleeping in…read morefrom the time change, we ate around 1pm. The place is very quaint. The tables downstairs are a little too close for my liking. We went upstairs and found a cute window table, overlooking the alley below. We started with a pot of tea and debated the large menu for a while. I opted for the Caspian breakfast and my husband ordered the pork pie with a side of chips (fries). The presentation on both was great. I wanted to love the food, but it was just okay. The Caspian breakfast was a waffle with sweet cream cheese, topped with smoked salmon, poached eggs, caviar eggs and sliced avocado. The waffle and poached egg were cooked perfectly. I didn't care for the sweet cream cheese and ended up taking that off. The avocado looked pretty, but tasted underripe. It also came with toast. My husbands pork pie was okay. It tasted like a summer sausage in a flaky pastry. It came with a side salad with Stilton cheese and walnuts, which was also just okay. The server was very friendly and prices were reasonable. If I lived here, I would definitely try again, but I would order different foods.

As a foreigner when you think of an English breakfast or brunch experience what often comes to mind…read moreis the fairy tale inspired tea and toast enjoyed in a quaint bed and breakfast, and unfortunately this dream is often shattered when you realize that Starbucks, Cafe Nero, and Pret have more or less taken over the wonderful world of breakfast. Fear not - Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms has preserved the traditional quaintness of a B&B in a way that caters to anyone and everyone, and it's absolutely excellent. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Tucked away in a side alley, the location of Mrs. Bridges is as much a landmark as anything in Leicester, and once you step inside you'll understand why. The most comfortable of settings includes various tea rooms on two levels as well as an outdoor seating area that I was able to enjoy on what was a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. It was crowded at 1030, but I was still able to have a seat right away and service didn't lag. I can't stress enough how fantastic the atmosphere at Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms is, and loved that even school age children seemed to really enjoy and appreciate it along with the expected adult crowd. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? £6.50 is a beautiful price for French toast with bacon and maple syrup with a pot of tea for an additional £1.85. As you can see in the picture my portion was hearty and I was more than satisfied at the end of the day with what would have easily cost me £12 in London. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I'm not entirely sure whether the atmosphere or the fact that it was a beautiful day just made everything taste better, but my french toast was amazing even while being as simple as can be. There was nothing fancy here but there didn't need to be, and I noticed as I was sitting down that a steady stream of people were coming in for sandwiches to go that everyone was raving about (and kudos for having special sandwiches that rotate). There are some meals that you really can't even put a finger on with respect to what makes it so good, and this was one of those meals. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms is a well known Leicester establishment whose appeal could possibly be bottled and expanded, but for now it's a brilliant gem in the center of England that I'd gladly visit daily. Star Granted.

We had a pork pie sampler for £6.95 which I shared with the other half. It had a piece of pork pie, 2 chutneys, a chunk of Stilton, 2 door stops of artisan bread, salad & pickled onions, perfect for a peckish afternoons snack. As we were so hungry we also had a toasted Brie and bacon pannini, the bacon was crispy and thick cut, the bread was well toasted. I washed this down with a pot of tea. The pannini came with crisps and a salad. My friend had a crab, salmon & white fish lasagna which seemed to have a Marie rose style sauce in place of the white sauce which went well with the fish & had a breadcrumb top - delicious and came with bread and salad. Bill came to £27 which was reasonable. It's open 8.30 to 5.30 on a Saturday & even open on a Sunday. A great place to visit as a local or if you are looking for somewhere try pork pie as a visitor.
