What an awesome tea room! Literally on the Thames!…read more 7 of us booked a table for brunch and were not disappointed! This is quite a big barge and seats about 20 people comfortably, offering a great range of cream teas, sandwiches, breakfasts and drinks. A little quaint, traditional barge tea shop. The cups and saucers are just fabulous and the coffee mugs are varied - all adding to the variety and experience of this wonderful place. The tea is served in leaf form so you have your own strainer, which is really cool! I opted for a full breakfast today which was just right! Unfortunately they had ran out of bacon but I got an extra sausage for that! Locally sourced food which was cooked perfectly from the kitchen you can see at the end of the barge. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, offering their advice and explaining the food options as well. The service was excellent and relaxed. The most important part of finishing the meal is the separation of the bill, especially in a group. However they offered to spilt this and each of us pay separately, this worked great! Overall, this is place is highly recommended for anytime of the day, relaxing on the Thames, in wonderful surroundings, watching the swans swim by.

Popped in for a lunch - wow, so pleased we did. Hubby and…read moredaughter had ploughman's lunch - one with meat one cheese - large hunks of cheese and very generous French stick! Both really enjoyed it. I had an afternoon tea - sandwiches, a choice of scrumptious cake and scone with clotted cream & jam. Everything was fresh and delicious-rhubarb scone was amazing as was the rhubarb jam, a must try!! The tea room is charming and the staff are so friendly and helpful-we will definitely be back! A real gem in a lovely quaint British town

We stopped off in Steyning on the way home the other day. I'd never been before, its one of those…read morehistoric market towns that takes quite lot of pride in its not particularly remarkable heritage. Still, it has some cute old buildings, and, as it turns out, a bloody fine tea shop. The Steyning Tea Rooms certainly look the part, with a very Cath Kidson-esque aesthetic. As well as being a tea room, there are also a few gifty bits on sale, like embroidered Matryoshka door stops, bird shaped pegs, and so on. What really makes it great though is the food. The menu is extensive, and reasonably priced. They obviously do a great selection of cakes and drinks, but with some more interesting additions than just the norm, for example, you can have a cream soda or a coke float to drink. We shared a tuna, cheese and sunblushed tomato melt, a rhubarb scone with cream and rhubarb jam, some Sicilian lemonade and a raspberry lemonade. The lemonade was wonderfully strong and traditional tasting, the melt was heavily loaded with the tasty toppings, and the rhubarb scone was the best of the lot, with lots of pieces of real rhubarb baked in, and a tangy jam to offset the cream and scone's sweetness. Those items together came to about £13. We were served by a not exactly effusive, but not unpleasant lady with long dreads, more what you would expect from a café in Brighton than this quaint Steyning tea room. Altogether it was a ruddy jolly show.
