Time For Tea — Restaurant in Bury

Upon a most splendid morning, myself and a distinguished gentleman of refined breeding did venture forth into the quaint and charming establishment known as Time for Tea, nestled delicately in the heart of Prestwich. One had heard whispers of its delights through the grapevine of discerning society, but nothing—absolutely nothing—could have prepared us for the sheer civilised majesty of what we were to encounter.

From the very instant the bell above the door tinkled (like the soft chime of silver against crystal), we were enveloped in an atmosphere of genteel serenity and genteel service. The décor, elegant yet unpretentious, exuded the warmth of an English parlour in springtime.

The tea—oh, the tea!—was of a quality one might expect in the drawing rooms of Mayfair, delicately poured from porcelain pots with the reverence such a noble beverage commands. Each sip was a gentle bow to centuries of British tradition. As for the breakfast, one can only describe it as a veritable triumph. The eggs—soft, sun-kissed, and perfectly poised between firm and runny—deserve a sonnet in their honour.

The staff, paragons of hospitality, treated us not merely as customers but as honoured guests—nay, dignitaries of the breakfasting order. We were, I say without the slightest hint of exaggeration, flabbergasted. Positively flabbergasted. The courtesy, the attentiveness, the unruffled grace—it all left us in a state of delighted disbelief.

In conclusion, Time for Tea is not merely a café. It is a sanctuary of civility, a bastion of British refinement, a temple to tea and toast. We shall, without question, return—and soon—lest we risk forgetting the bliss of that most delightful morn.

Five stars, and a...

I love this place. It is nothing like anywhere else you will go. Unique. The lovely lady that runs the cafe makes everything herself!

We have been twice now, having moved to Prestwich very recently. On the first visit I had tea and crumpets. The crumpets were divine! Thick, chewy on the outside and soft in the middle, and oozing with butter. 😛😋

Second time I had tea, with bubble and squeak with cheese and beans. This was classic. Two large burger size disks of bubble and squeak with a generous topping of melted cheddar cheese, baked beans around the side, HP sauce condiment (what else...). 😛😋

There's plenty of choice for veggie and vegan, plenty of sweet goodies too, all made by...

An absolutely lovely little tea room and hidden gem in Prestwich! We came to visit the market and dropped in to Time For Tea while looking for a quick bite to eat. It wasn't busy so getting a table for 2 was very easy and the lady who served us was lovely and friendly. The inside is cute and quirky, and a cool refuge from the warm weather.

Orders were quicky taken and food and drinks also prompt. I got a scone with cream and jam, while my partner got the Welsh rarebit. Both of them were very tasty.

All in all, a lovely and fairly priced place to get some lunch in the heart...
