"Fancy a cuppa?" If it is at the Steep Hill Tea Rooms and Cafe, yes please! Conveniently located between the Cathedral and the Castle at the top of Steep Hill. However, you may want to walk to the bottom and back up to work off the delicious cakes and scones after having Afternoon Tea.
I love sitting in the front room and being able to look out the window onto those climbing up Steep Hill as I enjoy my cream tea. The staff are always very friendly. If you want to see the cakes before you order, you can walk through to the display case at the back. They always look delicious, but I always end up with a fruit scone with clotted cream and jam. I love the scones, although not a huge fan of the cherry scone, but also not a huge fan of cherries. Have seen friends order tea cakes and the coffee cake and they both looked wonderful and they seemed to be content with their order.
They do light lunches: sandwiches and soups. The quality of the food and cakes is great, but the prices won't break the bank, so you can treat yourself. They have a nice selection of tea and the dishes are so cute! I think this place is great for those that want a nice cup of tea and cake, or for those that are wanting their first cream tea (or high tea experience). read more
