Think of the quintessential…read moreEnglish Tea Room, put it next to a small beck in the middle of the English countryside, with a garden overlooking the Somerset Levels, with Glastonbury Tor on the horizon. Add some locally sourced organic food, and a proprietor that caters for dietary requirements AND an art gallery and you'll get close to Annie's Tea Rooms. Probably the best Banoffee Pie I've ever tasted, not to mention the salmon and pasta; oh and the ice cream. This a place where you can wake up and smell the coffee and STILL be in the same place!

There isn't much seating inside but they do have outdoor seating. It was a hot day when we visited so it was nice to sit outside rather than inside The food is homemade and really nice. It didn't take long for our food to arrive and was hot and tasty. The staff are pleasant and attentive. It was ideal for my father as he has a disability and we needed to get the wheelchair from the car, located in the car park next door. As it is situated on the old railway line, there is a ramp at the end of the platform so it made access with the wheelchair easy

You can sit outside on the old platform and there is still some track in place if you appreciate the atmosphere that provides. (For Geochcahers there is a cache). There is an all day service on most days but be aware of a closing time of around 5 pm (check this out if necessary). Items fairly priced and the staff are friendly and welcoming and provide a good service.

We had planned to have an afternoon tea at this lovely little café while visiting Newbury. We…read moredecided to go for a quick lunch, a couple days before the planned afternoon tea. Well, it was a good thing we did, since we didn't get to go back for afternoon tea... Just as the name suggests, it is located right by the canal. It was very picturesque, peaceful and relaxing. They also have seating upstairs, and had histories on the canal, with photos posted all around the wall. Their cakes looked amazing, but I decided not to order any dessert on this day. Yes I know, a big mistake! Our friend ordered Heavenly Hot Chocolate, and it looked so pretty! We went with Teashop House Blend Tea, and Earl Grey. The young boy who brought the teas (I hear this is a family-run business) was trying to very careful not to mix them up. But the funny thing was, he totally mixed the tea up! LOL. We didn't realize until half way through... I thought the House Blend tea tasted so much like Earl Grey. For lunch, we had Ham, Cheese & Chutney Sandwich and Eggs Benedict. They were both tasty, nice portion, and filling. Our friend went with something healthier, and ordered one of their vegan sandwiches. It is nice to have that option if you want or need vegan dish. We had a nice quick lunch here. It was adorable and cozy. The food was good, not amazing, but good. I think the sweets might be better than the actual food...I will never know, unless I go back! Lesson learned: don't never expect your plan to go just the way you planned them...and have your dessert first!

Believe the hype at Hive…read more Our party of 3.5 (3 adults, 1 toddler) made our way over here on a blowy Saturday July morning for the breakfast essentials, and despite a healthy queue (it's counter service) Hive Beach Cafe delivered the goods in fine form. It's counter service. Weekend breakfast begins at 10am. At that time a swarm of dwellers will descend upon the counter to make sure their breakfast is accounted for. Join the queue and patiently wait (it moves pretty fast and they are very friendly and efficient). Grab a tray, order your menu items and coffees/teas, pick up drinks, sit down, grab cutlery/water/napkins, wait, food arrives. It's really all rather smooth, honestly. In fact, I'd venture to say I like this way BETTER than table service. No tracking down the check when you are ready to depart, just up and leave. Bravo! The Farmhouse Breakfast was gorgeous (see photo) and the Belgian Waffles with bacon and maple syrup were divine (though our toddler was hesitant to share, I don't blame him!). Brother in law enjoyed the Benedict and basically licked the plate. My flat white was intense and necessary. Everything was, simply put, perfect. On a nice day there are plenty of outside seats and its perfectly placed nearly ON the beach, so the views are stellar. It is the only thing around for miles, so enjoy it. The setting is pristine. If its rainy and windy (which it was), the covering is quite sufficient and seats many "inside." All this for about £50. Our best meal in the area, would definitely return.

My cappuccino was immaculate and perfectly sized. A first for me in this part of the world. You can tell that the owners have put a lot of care into choosing their roast and have got their team well trained up. I arrived too late to try out their selection of breakfasts but went for a soulshine bagel - served open on the plate with smoked salmon, capers and salad and a side plate of chips. I stuffed myself silly. It's a great flavour combination and the bagel was fresh and light. Just left enough space to get a smoothie. Totally turmeric a welcome, burst of yellow energy to get the afternoon going. It's a great looking place with beautiful furniture by local makers and cool wall art at the back. There is a bright and breezy rear garden area which feels curiously sea-side. This place is just what Bridport needed.
