The staff were very friendly and made a fuss of me for my birthday, which was very appreciated! I had the Victoria Sponge cake, which was vegan-friendly and delicious! The servings were *very* generous! The rest of my group enjoyed their cake as well as flavoured hot chocolates. We really enjoyed the vibe here, the friendly staff and above all, the excellent food and drink. We'll be returning! :-)

The waitresses even dress the part with their dresses, makeup and hair perfectly quaffed. The food; well, I was pleasantly surprised. At first I thought charming quaint themed atmosphere tea room food must be either subpar or just okay. I ordered the daily special and my oh my to my surprise it was real good food served with real Hartlepool happy hospitality. I cannot fault this place. Well expect that it's too far from Miami, Florida. But when in Hartlepool England check this place out for afternoon tea with great Hartlepool charm Prewar. Don't worry you'll be transported back to present times once you get the bill. Not incredibly pricey but not incredibly cheap either I'd say it's reasonable for the food, service and charm. Enjoy.

Afternoon tea at Robineau is just fantastic! Great service and the food was perfect…read more The savoury course had tasty sandwiches, plus the egg mayo was served on a half scone and the salmon in pastry rather than bread.. such good attention to detail. The fruit scones were light as air and served with the option of jam or lemon curd. The cakes were all delicious, moist fruit cake with a crunchy nutty topping, and the best bit.. the salted caramel indulgence! Really good value at £19.95, served in their lovely tea room. We added a baby bottle of prosecco for £5.50. I can't wait to go back! Best afternoon tea I've had!

As well as making wedding/celebration cakes to order they sell beautiful cakes and scones and fancy pastries. They are also chocolatiers and stock seasonally appropriate novelty items.

The mince pies are Christmas were lovely, and I can highly recommend the almond macaroons and the trifle if you are looking for an easy sweet. Maybe not a great stop for the calorie counters out there but I suppose if you jogged there a little treat wouldn't hurt!

With plenty of spacious seating on the patio and tucked away in little corners of the garden we found a lovely little table for 3 in the sunshine. For winter months they have 2 main buildings and 2 out-houses which are very pretty and well decorated inside. Post-birthday night out I was a little worse for wear and ready for a full English and a good cup of tea unfortunately the breakfast cut off point is at 11.30 however I wasn't too disappointed as the rest of the menu left plenty of tantalizing options for me to choose from! The waitress came over to take our orders and helped me choose between 2 dishes that I was torn over. The drinks service was a little slow but the food was timey and the presentation on all the dishes was amazing! My Dad opted for a seafood platter, which came with smoked salmon, crayfish, cockles, mackerel and crab slaw all served with sourdough bread, hollandaise and aioli sauces - seafood heaven! My Mum went for the lamb and goats cheese burger that was divine! The lamb was cooked to perfection with it being pink in the middle and served with a yummy mint yogurt dip and sun-dried tomatoes. I was stuck between the club sandwich and BBQ pulled pork open sandwich. On recommendation I went for the pork, which was served, on sourdough toast with melted Monterey cheese - heaven! I was having food-envy looking at the lamb burger but was not in anyway disappointed with my pork. Finishing off our meal with the Parlour's specialty - ice creams all round! I have a new found love for the homemade lemon meringue cone... There is so many flavours including apple pie and the originals too - its an ice cream lovers heaven! Our leisurely lunch here was fab and they are also promoting the "Super Club" on the 18th of July that is a diner's paradise! With three courses plus their homemade ice cream at £25 a head it doesn't break the bank either. This place was definitely worth the 20-minute drive and I will be back to try their dinner menu!

It was a really yummy cake! The sitting rooms were so cute, we were in the garden shed , and there was the main room, and the ice cream parlour and outdoor sitting. A really well done place, with layout and set up. Sometimes tea shops along the high way have a whole room full of junk they are trying to sell to you and then cramped sitting. But not here I think I saw a few cute things for sale but mostly they were focused on their food and I was told famous ice cream! Well done for keeping the place about whats most important... the food! Friendly service and tasty treats. It was a bit slow because they were super packed and under staff. The waiter apologised for the wait and said someone had called in ill! I can only rate it on the cake and coffee because I didn't eat anything there but I imagine it would be good .

We stopped at the tea room after a visit to Lanercost Priory for a cup of tea and hot chocolate…read more The tea room itself was pleasant and bright but a bit barren. It reminded me very much of a US church's multipurpose room - something that seemed like it could be cleared at any time for another function or purpose. It seemed to lack coziness. My hot chocolate, however, was lovely, and it really hit the spot after a long day on the Wall. Though we did not eat at the tea room, I gladly would have done so (and there are few other restaurants nearby, save for a 20-minute drive to Brampton). The specials listed on a chalkboard sounded quite nice. As another reviewer mentioned, when you arrive at the tea room you order and pay at a counter on the far-side of the cafe. A waitress will bring your drinks/food to you at a table of your choosing when it is ready. The restaurant was previously open for dinner, but I see on their web site that they have reverted to daytime hours only due to unforeseeable operational issues. What a shame, as Brampton is really about a 20-minute drive and there are few other restaurants directly in the area for dinner.

If this is the best you can offer both humans and dogs I will not be back and I will be advising our friends of our visit. This is such a shame as it could be so nice.
