I've tried dozens of little tea rooms over the years, but this one is one of the absolute best I've…read moreever been to. 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.

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.

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.

We were initially planning to visit Forge Bakehouse after some great reviews, but the look of this…read moreplace from the outside was enough to get us intrigued. Gorgeous tearoom in the antique quarter. The service is great, the food delicious (wish I'd taken a photo of the army of cakes they had on offer...!) and all of the pretty crockery is just beyond adorable. We even had someone playing piano live in the front room! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area! We split one traditional afternoon tea and one sandwich between two, which meant that we could try the cakes but without having too much of a sugar rush. Would recommend that unless you're super super hungry!

Jameson's is located on a cool part of Abbeydale road, surrounded by reclamation shops, delis and…read morequirky little gift shops. After having a good mooch around these, we arrived at Jameson's, which greets you with a suitably old fashioned look and feel. Staff are smart- male staff wear bow ties (but not necessarily black or white), there is a huge selection of cakes on the counter and it really looks like a 'proper' tea room if you know what I mean. We had an afternoon tea- they have a few varieties but all based around sandwiches, scones and cake. The traditional version allows you to choose only one sandwich filling but the others provide four, plus other additions. I had the traditional, plus a mini bottle of prosecco and my sister had the Splendid, which had a range of sandwiches (cucumber and Brie, prawn, ham and mustard and something else). It was presented beautifully and I loved the mismatched crockery. You get four finger sandwiches, one large scone with jam and cream (or curd with the Splendid)- we could choose from plain, fruit or chocolate orange, and you can choose your cake from the selection on the counter. These are generally sponges and loaf type cakes rather than dainties. The tea selection was great and additionally there are several kinds of champagne and prosecco on the menu, but only served by the bottle (!). There are three mini 20cl proseccos if you just want a glass. As usual after the scone I couldn't actually manage any of my raspberry and white chocolate Victoria sponge, but it was packaged up for us to take home. Staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful, food was great and the menu seemed good value- the most expensive afternoon tea is £80 for two but includes a whole bottle of their £50 Pol Roget Champagne plus all the best cakes and sandwiches. Maybe another time... Jameson's is well set up for small children with wipes and other useful things in the loo (which has a changing mat), plus several high chairs tucked around the corner.

In my opinion this tea room is amazing ! I'm not just saying this because my step mum owns it, I'm…read moresaying it because it genuinely has such a good vibe to it and all the staff are lovely. 100% would recommend to anyone passing through or if you would like a baby shower or afternoon tea.

The waitress told us when taking our order there would be a slight delay, 40 minutes later we were served and the food was definitely not high standard.

As a result all the other tables were served and had even finished before we got our food. The service was poor, the cutlery being plonked on the table altogether with only one serviette between the two of us and the cutlery not properly dried from washing. The staff, while pleasant enough, need some training in how to wait at table. When we eventually got our food I was dismayed to see that my cottage pie was served in a separate bowl, having obviously been microwaved. I tipped it out onto my plate only to find some of the filling burnt through over microwaving. When I took my first bite my palate was burned and is still very painful and sore a day later. It is dangerous to serve food in this manner. The cheese which had been put on the top of the potato was just melted and mushy, not nicely browned as it should be from under a grill or in an oven. I also had to go to the kitchen to request the gravy which should have been served with the meal. Altogether a disappointing experience in what promised to be a quaint setting.

With less than 50 seats, Flying Childers provides an intimate afternoon tea experience without…read morebeing overly formal. The menu is simple and other than picking which tea you like or letting them know about allergies, everyone gets what's on the menu. You start with a canapés and your tea selection, and then once those are finished the sandwiches, scones and cakes were brought out at nearly the same time so you can eat what you want at your leisure. There's no rush and you can have as much tea or coffee as you'd like, and as many types as you'd like. For an extra £10 you can add champagne. The staff are friendly and take time to explain everything on the dishes, and make it feel so comfortable. If you think you aren't getting much food, you are. It will quickly fill you up and you'll look forward to another stroll around the gardens to work some of it off.
