Wonderful food and great size portions. We did have to wait a while for food as they were very busy. Affordable food. Lovely sitting area outside when the weather is nice. Dog friendly outside. Sell sausages for the dogs.

Walked in on a random Sunday afternoon in November to discover this gem. Right on the beach, friendly staff, very well priced and the cream tea was excellent. British no fuss tea room at its finest!

Such an amazing family feel, the staff here are so welcoming and friendly. The food is also amazing, we had cakes, and they were all lovely. The outside seating area is so spacious too. Definitely recommend this Tea Room, if you’re in the area!! Honestly one of the best ones in the country.

5 * all day from me. Staff are very friendly and always ready for a chat. Only ordered bacon rolls, which are a good size with plenty of bacon. All other food I have seen looks equally good. Teas and coffee are good size. Plenty of room inside and outside. Spotlessly clean. Dog friendly. No 1 cafe on the prom imo.
