Berry's — Restaurant in England

We visited this place last summer and we STILL talk about it now! We live in Warwickshire but are considering returning to this coffee shop in the next few weeks just because it was such a pleasurable experience.

It wasn't a great start, we entered and was immediately told there were no seats available unless we wanted to sit outside. It had been drizzling for about 30 mins and as we were still damp from the small hike around Cardind Mill Valley we'd just finished, we chose to look from somewhere else.

We went out and had a rummage in the local charity shops and then decided that we would return to Berry's as there was nowhere else that had caught our eye, and we were certainly glad we did!

We like cream teas and treat ourselves to one when we visit somewhere new. For £5.50 these cream teas where definitely worth the little more than 'average' price we would expect to pay.

Firstly these cream teas come with TWO scones not one as in most places, they were freshly made and were still warm. Proper warm not microwaved warm! The difference is obvious! The cream was plentiful and came in a ramikin, and so too did the jam.

The tea came in a pot with it's own infuser for the teabags. I don't think we've ever seen this in a tea room before.

The staff mainly consists of young girls, who despite their ages do their job well and professionally! The kitchen staff appear to be older ladies, so maybe one of these is Berry herself? The diversity of the staff in this way works well and the place gives a sense of eating grandma's cooking...

I really enjoyed this cafe, the staff were lovely and kind, and the food was soooo fresh!!! And delicious 😋😋😋. My only preference (and this may be just my opinion) but the menu's were a little difficult to understand, and there wasn't really any standard dishes past lunch, DONT GET ME WRONG the food is devine, it's just sometimes it's nice after a long morning to just nip to a cafe and grab something you know and love...

That being said one of, if not the best salad I've had yet, and even though I'm not much of a salad eater... And HATE(normally) paying more for healthy salads than meat dishes... I must admit this dish was WELL worth the £12 I payed for the dish all be it a little more than id normally pay... But you can understand the price when you look at the shear variety of fresh produce on the plate!

Long story short Pros •Great cafe environment •Great service •Fresh delicious produce •Great portions •Good clean and tidy cafe and the facilities are the same. Cons •Menus a little confusing •Limited standard dishes past lunch •A touch on the pricey side... HOWEVER for the variety of ingredients just on the one plate it is phenomenal and reasonably priced for...

The day we visited was scorchingly hot, so it was lovely to find that there was a delightful flower-filled courtyard, but had it been a dull winter's day there was a gorgeous-looking sitting room that would warm your heart. We had lunch, and the local meat platter was extremely good - the meat pie was really meaty, the chorizo was dry and spicy, and the ham was first class. The real star of the show was a pudding. I confess I ordered it because of the name, but the Sticky Shropshire Lass ( named after a local beer, I promise!) was a great variant on sticky toffee pudding, being made with Shropshire Lass beer and cassis. Service was first class, and I'd thoroughly recommend Berry's for lunch. I'm just sorry I couldn't eat enough to also describe some of the...
