A friend introduced me to this place and I've never stopped going back. 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!

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!

So I had to come back for their "Sunday Roast" (afternoon dinner feast). Three courses of delicious homemade food, everything scrumptious, only £16. Such a great value. OMG was the food good. REALLY outstanding. It's a bit of a drive from Bath but it's also glorious country and you can leave the traffic and tourists behind. Will definitely be back.

It has a narrow front between two other shops, which meant that I missed it for several years despite walking past it every day! The Courtyard has an impressive selection of teas, including some specialist teas which are blended by the proprietors themselves. The interior offers a small seating area with four tables in what appears to be a converted house. It is very cosy, and the kitchen opens onto the seating area, adding to the homely vibe. I ordered some of the House special Russian Caravan plus the creamed mushrooms. As the inside was rather busy, I was offered a seat in the snug, which is a separate outhouse reached through the lovely quiet courtyard. The staff were very hospitable and even nipped across to the supermarket to fetch ingredients which they did not have on the premises to make my order! Inevitably, this meant that the speed of service was rather relaxed. But I would happily have stayed there all afternoon, it was so peaceful. A real hidden gem, as I said before, with a calm atmosphere and really polite friendly staff. Enjoy a tasty, home-cooked cake or meal and a nice pot of tea (served in cast-iron Asian pots) when you are in no rush to be anywhere else. Children and dogs are more than welcome - I asked on behalf of my sister and niece who were visiting!

This place was snuggled in the middle on town - and it was here that I had some of the BEST clotted cream tea ever! The service was excellent, this place was very quaint and clean, and there's an outside patio too. Before arriving here we had sampled clotted cream tea at a few other places, but when we tried it here it was excellent - a cut above the rest. The quality was superb. Definitely one of the most memorable and enjoyable places I visited during my tour of England, I highly recommend taking the time to visit this town and their lovely tea room and restaurant.
