The Strawberry Teapot Tearoom & Cakery — Restaurant in Babergh

To the wonderful owner and staff at Strawberry Teapot, My story starts with a trip planned to this cafe with my mum for her birthday, and will hopefully help to reassure other wheelchair/powerchair-reliant customers :)

Accessibility: The owner had a conversation with us to tell us about their accessibility (there is a step at the front of the store, but access to the outdoor seating behind the cafe without steps). - I use a powerchair, which can't, unfortunately, be lifted up with the help of others, but other smaller wheelchairs will still be able to be lifted up past the step on the front door. Despite this powerchair hurdle, we sat outdoors, which was beautifully arranged with summer plants.

Food Allergies/ Dietary requirements: My family is a mix of vegetarian, vegan, and meat-eater people, which was no problem at all to the staff at the Strawberry Teapot! We had booked in for an afternoon tea and were served three separate food servings (a three-tier cake stand per person), filled with sandwiches, cake, scones, and biscuits. These were delectable, and we were even allowed to take the cakes we didn't eat home with us (they were too good to leave behind!).

Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful time and will not hesitate to book again. If I could, I would fetch fresh scones every weekend (they were THAT good).

Thank you to all the staff there that helped to make the afternoon tea special, you are all wonderful people, and I have no doubt that you will make every other customer's experience just as wonderful.

Couldn't recommend...

I recently had a special birthday party at home and for the first time, decided to have outside catering, in order to reduce the stress. I'm so glad I chose The Strawberry Teapot. Amanda and India were very accommodating and flexible. Luckily, I did not have to worry about any food allergies but everything was clearly labelled and well packaged. As I didn't know how much food to expect, I stocked up myself as well, just in case....... I shouldn't have! Amanda did warn me : ). Communication was great and the food arrived on time, delivered by Amanda and India themselves. All of my 50 or so guests complimented the food - top marks go to the cheese and onion pastry rolls (many said they were the best they had ever tasted), lemon drizzle cake and brownies.

I would highly recommend The Strawberry Teapot, thank you Amanda...

Were passing by this lovely tearooms, but unfortunately they were closed. The owner see us looking and let us in early. They are so polite and friendly, and their hospitality was second to none. They gave us our drinks for free and some homemade shortbread for our shift. The bakewell cake was too die for along with the cones and my crew mate said his bacon sandwich was the best ever!!! They have a great selection on their memu and we loved the quaintness of this place. I will definitely be returning here with my mum and future students. Thankyou so much, East of England...
