    Popped into Huffkins in Stow-on-the-Wold for a quick bite before starting my day. I love to try the foods the "locals" eat when I travel, so when the friendly woman behind the counter at Huffkins told me about the Scotch Eggs, I knew they needed to tasted. Super fresh eggs and perfectly seasoned sausage in a buttery, crispy crumb crust, oh were they delicious! Huffkins just gave me one more reason to visit the Cotswolds.

    Cream Tea & Scones in the beautiful Cotswold from Huffkins Cotswolds! If you haven't had an authentic, British cream tea experience, Huffkins have you covered!

    We noticed that the building is crooked!

    During our tour around the Cotswolds, our tour group was given an hour for lunch break in the Stow-on-the-Wold Square. Since our tour guide had highly recommended that we grab a quick lunch from Huffkins and eat as we walk around the square, my family decided to take his advice and give this place a try. Immediately, once we entered the place, I was sucked into staring googly-eyed at all the yummy looking desserts. Cakes! Pies! Cookies! Eclairs! I was in dessert heaven! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yoDPhn-hn1Xe2Vcjydre2w?select=jkz8Ck2TPr14vQz-nVeVwg#pbJBF8clIaCnLq0Qpu6I6w) But no, we must eat lunch first, so I unwillingly tore my eyes away from the sugar and proceeded to stare some more...this time at the savory pies and pasties..and what were those wavy-looking things clustered in a pile in the middle shelf (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yoDPhn-hn1Xe2Vcjydre2w?select=jkz8Ck2TPr14vQz-nVeVwg#o0IbC3jUDaFch77h8MEaSg)? Enchanted by the strange pastry (which was filled with beef and potatoes and other veggies), I told my dad that's what I wanted for lunch. My sister, who had gone upstairs exploring for the restroom, came downstairs to inform us that there was actually a lounge area with tables for people to eat apart from the afternoon tea drinkers in their separate tea rooms. Oh, really?! Excited by the prospect of having tables for take-out food (which is almost unheard of), I made a mad dash upstairs only to see that the soup we had ordered was already heated and placed nicely on one of the tables for four. Eh? Seeming to have read our mind, the waitresses had gone a step further to reserve a table for us ahead of the rest of tourists/customers. My verdict on the food (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yoDPhn-hn1Xe2Vcjydre2w?select=jkz8Ck2TPr14vQz-nVeVwg#OF7qSmE9XYEBoL2euVq_Tg): Potato and Onion soup (served with a grain-and-nut-embedded bread and butter) (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yoDPhn-hn1Xe2Vcjydre2w?select=jkz8Ck2TPr14vQz-nVeVwg#Nx6pXhMJv2tVA6cz6MJqUQ) - I like creamy soups, and this one did not disappoint. The potatos had been blended into the soup and added a nice thickness to it. Although there were only a few strands of green onion (we had been expecting sauteed onions or something) in the soup, there was something addicting about the soup. Maybe it was the subtle acidity or the smooth texture and strong flavor, but whatever it was, it worked. The Cornish ("wavy") pasty - This pasty is like an upright pasty with wave crests on the top, which was what lured me into ordering it. The flavor of the beef, veggies, and gravy were decent, but kind of dry. It seemed as though the gravy had evaporated or been absorbed. Hm..maybe that's why I kept drinking the soup... Steak and Guinness pie - Both my mom and sister ordered this, and it was very delicious. There was so much flavorful sauce packed in this pie it came oozing out once they hacked into it. We all agreed that this was very yummy in flavor and in texture. Pork Pie - Apparently, this is traditionally eaten cold, because when my dad went down to the kitchen in confusion thinking they had forgotten to heat this up, they informed him that pork pies are meant to be eaten cold. They really packed their pork in this thing, because it was really dense! I guess this makes for food travelers' food, but I'd already gotten sick of cold food by this point. Homemade Seasonal Roulade (filled with fresh cream) (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yoDPhn-hn1Xe2Vcjydre2w?select=jkz8Ck2TPr14vQz-nVeVwg#6yYzsBtbsKdeWIsUnTsD8A) - I had my eye on this thing the minute I entered Huffkins. The cake and cream just looked so fluffy! Although the texture did not disappoint (fluffy and light, indeed!), it was kind of lacking in flavor. I kind of wish they had rolled more jam into this thing because all I tasted was the spongy cake. TL;DR: Quick service, many options, and nice seating areas. However, in general, the food here seems to look better than it actually tastes. I noticed that they do have some award-winning scones and fruit cakes, though. So maybe those are better dessert options.

    Very bad experience. Incredibly rude staff who actively insulted us. Do NOT go near this place. There are many better places close by.

    Looks nice and fancy and appears popular with the locals. Don't know why as the coffee and pastries were subpar.

    We had lunch here during our trip in London. This was a wonderful little shop. My wife loved the tea mix. The pasties were delicious!

We were sat upstairs near the window and it was nice and quiet there. Everything we ordered was delicious and we enjoyed our time here. Scone with cream and jam. I ordered plain scone. It was delicious. Warm fresh scone served with yummy cream and jam. I also ordered the chocolate cake tea with the scone and it was surprisingly good. Had some chocolate flavor and tasted good with milk. Hubby ordered Mac and cheese and it was served piping hot with a slice of garlic bread. Pretty good too! Kiddo ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a chocolate cake. The cake itself was soft and moist and not overly sweet. Went well with the tea and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate seemed standard and she seemed to like it. The place is not overly pricey for a touristy place. Service was also good and friendly.

    This was my favorite afternoon tea while traveling in the UK and surpassed the more expensive…read moreafternoon teas elsewhere. I loved the simple scone with jam and clotted cream. The jam and cream were significantly superior to others I've had. There was also a wide selection of tea and some really funky and interesting ones as well! If I travel to the Cotswold again, I will surely be visiting Lucy's tearoom. The vibe was also cozy and welcoming. The service was a little slower but probably because we were seated on the second floor.

    What an awesome tea room! Literally on the Thames!…read more 7 of us booked a table for brunch and were not disappointed! This is quite a big barge and seats about 20 people comfortably, offering a great range of cream teas, sandwiches, breakfasts and drinks. A little quaint, traditional barge tea shop. The cups and saucers are just fabulous and the coffee mugs are varied - all adding to the variety and experience of this wonderful place. The tea is served in leaf form so you have your own strainer, which is really cool! I opted for a full breakfast today which was just right! Unfortunately they had ran out of bacon but I got an extra sausage for that! Locally sourced food which was cooked perfectly from the kitchen you can see at the end of the barge. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, offering their advice and explaining the food options as well. The service was excellent and relaxed. The most important part of finishing the meal is the separation of the bill, especially in a group. However they offered to spilt this and each of us pay separately, this worked great! Overall, this is place is highly recommended for anytime of the day, relaxing on the Thames, in wonderful surroundings, watching the swans swim by.

    How am I the first to add this to Yelp? What an outstanding find. It's a small barge moored along…read morethe Thames. Great tea, food, service, and atmosphere! Highly highly recommend...

Oh I did enjoy my High Tea - cucumber sandwich(it was thick white bread with the crusts left on - perfect for a hungry girl!) and my home-made plain scone served with clotted cream and jam. A generous pot of English breakfast tea with plenty of flavour was a natural accompaniment. Had I desired home baked cakes or a lunch I don't doubt I would have been just as impressed. My beady eye spotted the cakes under their glass domes; but my tea had been so substantial I will just have to wait until my next visit to give them a try. I will return because as well as the great food it was value for money. There was friendly service and some nice objects for sale. There were paperbags filled with old fashioned sweeties, lots of handmade crafts and a little glass and wooden case filled with affordable and quirky vintage costume jewellery. You could enjoy your tea and then go shopping for the kind of things you usually have to hunt hard to find! Combine this with the lovely garden to enjoy in the warm weather and the proximity to the riverside walk and Kelmscot and the National Trust's Buscot Park and you could have a great day out. If you find yourself if the area do call in too. You will be pleased that you did.
