Opening Days
After 12 years, on Friday 19th December, we will be closing our tea room for the final time.
Rosie has been wanting a break from hospitality for a while now and we feel this is the right time for all of us. It’s not to say this is the end as we are considering how to change in a way that best suits our needs and those of our customers. So watch this space and our website. She has not given up cooking entirely especially after training at Leith’s Cookery School. She will do some events on the side and intends to continue with Christmas cakes each year.
We are deeply grateful to every single customer and friend who has been a part of our journey over the last 12 years. Together you have made the tea room what it is - a place for people to relax, enjoy good food, and meet old and new friends.
If you would like to pop in to say goodbye, we would love to see you. We can’t promise not to shed a tear though! Please excuse what is bound to be slow service this week as we bid farewell to what has been a huge part of our lives for so long.
Word of mouth has already past around so we have been inundated with requests for tables before we close, this means we cannot guarantee we will be able to take anymore bookings

Table Bookings
You are able to reserve tables for lunch, but we do keep a third of our tables for walk ins (however we cannot guarantee there will be a table available).
There is a time limit on all tables of 1 hour 30 minutes to give others a chance.
Due to the size of our tea room, we can only accommodate groups of up to 5 people for lunch.

Dogs
From April to October, when the weather is finer, dogs are welcome on our outdoor seating area.
We ask that they are kept on leads and any mess picked up.
As much as we adore dogs, our tea room layout doesn't enable us to allow dogs inside safely without blocking walkways, especially whilst serving hot drinks and food.
Gift Vouchers
We're very sorry but we no longer offer gift vouchers.
A family-run tea room opened in 2013 with a cosy ambience in the quaint surroundings of a converted stable. The commitment to producing only the freshest food means this is not a fast-food venue but is well worth the wait.
We serve a variety of homemade cakes and light bites (Sandwiches, ploughmans, quiche, and toasties).
Parking is very easy with our own car park, making it great to stop off without the worry of finding a space.
We are only a few minutes from the A1 meaning you can pull off with ease and back on from both directions.
Many Thanks
Stephen, Avril and Rosie
