Olde Booths Tea Rooms

you have to visit this quaint little Café for a toasted tea cake, and admire just what goes on inside? it has a life of its own and its heart beat throbs with day to day business, but its the smells of fresh food and dam good cooking that make your mouth water just being there.
the décor is absolute spot on for this little hamlet shop, the staff are very friendly and will do the best they can, nothing seams to shake them and they are the so helpful, what more could you want in a place, peaceful, quiet, relaxed, warm and friendly, prices ain’t to bad either…

I feel a little sad that this sweet, and admittedly *different* we’ll say, tea room has only been given the middle standard in stars. I think on quirky factor alone it’s a 4/​5, but then that’s just me. I love something a little bit different! And, to be fair, anything that has that extra ‘e’ in it’s title!
I actually found their shop window the reason as to why I ventured in! Just goes to show what a different reaction people can have, I guess! It probably just reveals how much of a magpie I am, really. Stuff … in windows? I NEED IT! That’s how me brain works.
They had all sorts of quirky little items for sale, which I found delightful. A strange tea and saucer set, with the saucer being more of a quaver (the crisp) shape — sorry that’s the best shaped item I can think to relate it to! Retro picture frames, a beautiful wicker arm chair, lovely plant holders complete with plants. All of this made me happy. And that I could have a ‘high class’ cup of tea (their words, and mine!) whilst I browsed was delightful!
A lovely experience.

What a refreshing change, I’ve been into a few coffee shops/​tea rooms recently and the staff haven’t been rude but they have barely been friendly or welcoming some have looked quite vacant. In here however, I was greeted with an affable smiles and a lovely bimbly service to matched the Ye Olde style interior and exterior and, name. Lovely.

Old Booths Tea Room is hardly the most enticing of places from the outside. It’s bizarre shop window is murky, and there appears to be a few toy-​like objects that can be seen from the outside. Once in, despite its lack of décor, I loved its simplicity. I don’t believe it is the type of place you’d take your parents, but maybe your grandparents for a spot of simple, un-​fussy afternoon tea. The ladies in there are lovely, and may I just congratulate them on their Yorkshire Tea Loaf. I tried it on recommendation and it was delightful! If I were to be picky, I would say that it looks as though it needs a bit of a facelift, but sometimes, maybe the lack of fussy décor adds character.
