Mothers Day Surprise!…read more We wanted to take the Mothers somewhere nice and out of town and had seen The Garden Kitchen had been visited by a number of our friends and family on Facebook, all giving great reviews and I can see why! We arrived for final service at 6pm and as you can imagine it was very busy on Mothers Day. The maître d' came straight over to us to let us know how long it would be until we were seated and continuously gave us progress updates. Whilst waiting we perused the small shop of local produce, had a drink and soaked up our surroundings. The Tea Room is a new addition to Holden Clough Nursery being built in the last few years, but looks like it should have always been there! It is beautiful and sympathetically designed to its surroundings. So, the food....WOW! I'd seen pictures but when our Afternoon Tea arrived on a mini picnic bench I felt like clapping!! (In fact, I think I did!!) Such a great idea and adds a little bit of originality and quirkiness to your experience. Everything on my picnic bench was delicious. The Mushroom soup was silky, creamy and full of flavour. The mini Roast Beef Dinner served in an individual yorkshire pudding was beautiful and of course came with a little jug of gravy and beef was tender and pink. The scone was fresh and light with jam that had just the right sweetness and fruit mix. My other main highlight was the Rocky Road, I'm not usually a fan because its too rich and sweet but O-M-G this was amazing. I still find myself thinking about it now two days on. The chocolate melts in your mouth to find small nuggets of biscuit and mini marshmallows.....all washed down with a great cup of coffee. John & Kate who own and run The Garden Kitchen have done a fanstastic job transforming Holden Clough Nursery over the last few years. The service, quality of food and surroundings are 10/10. We will be coming back during the day to visit the nursery (and no doubt the Garden Kitchen too). Thank you for a fantastic evening...and the Mums loved it!! : )

I went with my mum, sister and partner for the Valentine's afternoon tea, it was great it was so different from traditional afternoon tea you got soup in a tea cup, two open top sandwiches and a mini quiche which was a nice change from just sandwiches. The cakes you got was a scone. A mini red velvet cake, a heart biscuit, marshmallows with chocolate, profiterole with white chocolate and a mini love potion in a glass boot. We got a glass of pink proseco it was £19.99 each which is a little expensive for the place as its a tree nursery but they do a different theme for different seasons so it's well worth a visit. I would defiantly go

I visited The Mount tearoom last weekend for my dads birthday. First impressions were great, I…read moreloved it! They have plenty of parking on site and you can see a large tent on the property which I believe they hire out for private events. The first thing I spotted outside, which I was really excited about was a Little Free Library book shed, which I know from when I lived in America. It is a book exchange; take a book, leave a book, book swap! I was very impressed to find one there! We had booked a table in advance, which I would probably recommend to avoid disappointment as there aren't many tables, but you can also eat outside. The decor is really nice and very fitting for a tea room. We were shown to our table straight away and the staff were really nice. We decided to order sandwiches and some cake, but they do afternoon tea and ice cream as well. Between us we ordered a bottle of prosecco and I shared a sandwich with a fellow diner, and was glad I did as otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fit in my cake! I went for the Wensleydale cheese and caramelised onion sandwich. Which was really nice! It might have been a bit cheesy had I had both parts of the sandwich. It also came with a nice side salad. For dessert there was lots of choice, including Victoria sandwich, coffee and walnut and lemon cake. I went for the New York cheesecake with strawberry. The cheesecake was delicious! Next time I would like to try the ice cream from Sargent's to see if it is as good as what I remember from when I was young! I can't wait to go back to the tearoom and try something different and next time I will take a book for the library! I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Very pleasant tea room and cafe close by the heritage sites of Worsley. There is a garden and…read moreindoor seating. Staff are accommodating and although advertised to close at 1600 ( too early) I had a cream tea at 1600. All good, recommended. They do light lunches too, I am sure that they are good.

An adorable hidden gem. This traditional tearoom is set up in the lovely home of the former mayor…read more Booking is required but the food is home cooked by the lovely chef Alan, and is delicious. It's an older crowd so the atmosphere is very peaceful and relaxed. The service is quick but never rushed. The staff are so attentive- Linda, the hostess, was friendly and very helpful. This is a great place for a Sunday dinner with family in the countryside! Top tip. Save room for pudding!

I feel, as an adventurer and explorer of this fine city, that an update for these guys is well…read moreoverdue. Why? Well, a lot has changed since my last review. Firstly, they're no longer a company that you've to feverishly look out for at the latest vintage do, or fair, but now have a home within Birds Yard boutique-it's opposite the Duck and Drake. So, ensconced on the ground floor of this magpie's delight, you'll find the most delightfully kitsch and gorgeously decorated tea room. Every cabinet has something to take in, be it a range of delicious sweets and treats, or cabinets of delightful jewellery and other items of decorative finesse. The first thing you might notice are the tea sets - no cuppa comes without a beautiful cup and saucer, and the range of hot drinks is wonderful. As well as one of the nicest Americanos in town, they serve up an exhaustive selection of teas, from green to white to fruit. When it comes to cakes and pastries, you'll be spoiled for choice. Their brownies are practically second to none, and the cupcakes are worth writing home about - no really, you'll want to write to your Nan and ask her why she never achieved the delights of these sugary explosions. That sounds harsh, but really, I've not had better. On a recent visit I stopped for a toastie, and the salad was incredible. I mean, the toastie was great (cheese and chorizo) but it was the salad and dressing that had my seretonin through the roof. Go for the home made honey mustard dressing -it's out of this world. Essentially, whilst there's no wifi for us cool kids with our laptops, it's one of the most fabulous places to stop off for a bite, a cup and a chill. Of course, you can spend some time exploring the labyrinth of local expert crafters (since the building holds some of the best locally made jewellery, vintage and more) but merely sitting in and taking in the sultry sounds of 40s jazz is enough for me. If you've not yet tried them out, I implore you to pay them a visit - it's one of Leeds' finest hidden gems.

Angie no longer has a shop but what she does have is a traveling tea catering business. I planned a…read moretea luncheon all the way from San Francisco with Angie for my niece who lives and just got married in Leeds. I thought the concept of a pop-up tea business extremely intriguing, different, and fresh. Angie most often utilizes The Outlaws Yacht Club in Leeds for a location and it was wonderful. The club is a bit hard to find, but is small, intimate and visually delightful. The tea was perfect. Angie arrived well ahead of time and brings everything with her - table scarves, mismatched cups, saucers and plates, and tons of delish food. There were twelve of us - five young women, five middle aged, and two 80 yr olds and believe me when I say everyone had a super time. The combination of Angie for the food and Dan behind the bar can not be beat. Communication during the weeks before was a bit tenuous but once Angie has you on her schedule, you can be sure it all will happen and perfectly down to the last detail.
