Not far from the hustle and bustle of the big tourist attractions, the Laxey Wheel and the Snaefell…read moreMountain Railway, you can find this small and cosy Tearoom down at the Laxey River. It is not a very big place, just one room with a few tables and 3 small tables outside on a small walkway. The centerpiece is the big counter where you can see all the great cakes and breads they make here. Apart from tea and cake you can also have several savoury lunch options. We went to this place twice during our stay on the Isle of Man and both times we had delicous tea with a gorgeous piece of cake. Everything here is homemade and you can taste it. The staff is really friendly and does everything to make you feel right at home and even has time for a little chat about the place and the food they prepare here. I can really recommend this little tea room for lunch or a very relaxed afternoon tea after you have walked around Snaefell to warm you up again. Great place with great staff - go try it!

Came back with a friend for a quick lunch and on this occasion I was disappointed. I ordered the…read moreeggs with Chorizo sausage and ordered extra sausage. It came with onions which wasn't detailed on the menu so I sent it back. To be fair they took it back and made me another order so they get stars for good service and doing the right thing which really pleased me!! Well done!! The downside though was the price which was £10.95 for a plate of eggs and sausage and VERY small bottle of water. I think it was worth £7-£8 but at ££10.95 is definitely overpriced. If the extra chorizo was on the plate it didn't feel like it. not sure what normal looks like but if it is half the sausages for £2 less then it is still overpriced. It was a couple of eggs and 2 cut up sausages. In fairness it was very tasty however the price for what was received left me feeling let down. Maybe this is an oddity on there menu but I will see when I come back again.

Their concept of pop up weekend dinners is fabulous, the week we were there they had smoked meats on the menu for Friday night, and Brazilian for Saturday night, I think 25 sterling fixed price per person for multi course meal. So far we have not been able to experience the pop up dinners but it sounds fantastic. Everything is so delicious, clearly a very talented culinary staff.

Food was great and a cup of tea sealed the deal. Service was friendly and efficient. A perfect Laxey Beach spot. Parking along the seafront.

We stopped in just for a cappuccino and tea, but they had an amazing afternoon tea special for 11.95 for two which contained either coffee (cappuccino) or tea and two platters full of various types of sandwiches and deserts. It was probably big enough for four people and we definitely couldn't finish it, although it was not for lack of trying. Service was quick and friendly and it was a pleasant atmosphere. It is a large place which allows for it to get quite busy. It was a quiet weekend when we were there, but it was still quite busy. If anything, I would say that would be a testament to the quality of this place.

Great food but very slow service…read more We were on the last day of a very boozy weekend in the lakes and needed a good breakfast to help us along. We hid from the rain this little cafe and ordered some excellent fry ups. Two of us had the standard English breakfast while Dan went for the large version which contained a serious amount of meat. I really enjoyed mine. The line up was scrambled egg (you get to choose you egg type), sausage, bacon, black pud, beans, tomato, mushrooms, hash brown and toast. My toast could have been more toasted (it was still pretty much bread) but everyone else's looked good so I think it was a blip. I had a latte too which was good. It's waitress service to order but they were not in any rush to come over so if you are hungry I'd suggest heading up to the counter.

I am not sure if the other review is referring to the tea room downstairs or the upstairs restaurant , to be honest I am kind of confused about the layout of the place. I can say the downstairs tearoom is very good. Cannot comment on anything else, but the owners are making a go of it (but they should take note to the other review) they had a terrible flood a few years ago, so kudos to them for their hard work.

We were dining for my grandmas birthday so with lots of elderly relatives I kind of thought it might be acceptable to them (you know cos they don't like rare meat, probably don't dine out much etc etc) but they were some of the most vocal critics to the waiting staff. Super dry and tough beef, so hammered - veges that weren't even cooked and hard, yorkshire pud all doughy and undercooked - it was a complete bloody disaster! I'm only giving it an extra star after my initial thoughts to give it 1 because the staff were so lovely and also because they sold the 'Hooded Ram' local beer that helped ease the pain of having to sit through this meal...I felt bad for the staff having to pedal such shoddiness.

Limited parking is available on the street outside, and further up Main Street. Failing that there is lots of free parking available in the Castle Car Park, just a short walk away.
