Eggcup Tearooms — Restaurant in England

We have been here several times over the past few years. Each time we have had breakfast, and each time I have enjoyed a lovely bacon sandwich on brown bread. Today, however, we were told that they only did white baps. When paying I was asked if we were happy with everything and I politely pointed out that we preferred sandwiches, and asked when they had stopped swapping a bap for bread if requested, as they had been happy to do them on previous visits. I was asked how long ago since I had visited, and even though I assured her that it was only a couple of months, I was told that that couldn’t have been the case because they had not done hot fillings in sandwiches since the pandemic. I was so shocked that I was basically being called a liar, that I only answered by saying that we will not visit again. Such a shame as on each of our previous visits, I had made a point of congratulating the staff and saying how much I had enjoyed the sandwich! Of course they have the absolute right to not offer bread instead of basic white baps, but perhaps they should think again as while we were there a group of 4, and another couple walked out, when seeing there was no option for either breakfast sandwiches or even toast. The 4 ladies being served when we left also commented on the lack of choice for breakfasts. What I find unforgivable, though, is that they should treat customers so rudely. I’m not sure I have ever had my honesty called into question when respectfully...

Fantastic! Lovely venue in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Food is all cooked to order. Cooked to perfection, plenty of it, and very reasonable prices. The best lasagne ever, served with tasty garlic bread! My husband had Egg, chips and their own farm sausages, with a pot of onion and tomato chutney. He loved the sausages, so big and tasty and lovely big chunky chips! We didn't have room for pudding! The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Felt very safe as the tea room was well ventilated and tables well apart. We will be going again very soon. (It is wise to book, as they are usually very busy,!) Thank you all, and see...

Seven of us had lunch here today.

The portions were as generous as usual. The food was hot, well presented and served fairly quickly considering there were several other people ordering meals at the time. No tap water is available here, because of the poor water quality apparently. Bottled water is available at a price.

The Eggcup does not reserve tables so it is first come first served!

You can also stay here if you have a caravan or motorhome. The views inland from the mostly sloping camping field are rather good! Electric hook-ups are...
