Englefield Stores & Tea Room — Restaurant in England

Stopped here for lunch. Nice to see it properly open again. Really tasty paninis, freshly made with side salad and crisps. The one small slice of cucumber and tomato could have been a little more generous, but otherwise the food was excellent. I was there close to 2pm so it was quiet, and there's plenty of outdoor seating in a lovely setting. I imagine if it was busy it would be a little cramped indoors though and I wouldn't want to sit near the counter where everyone has to order and choose their cakes (that looked delicious BTW). The set-up is slightly unfortunate with the sink for washing up right behind the counter, so the noise from that did spoil the atmosphere a little. However, definitely somewhere I will return, especially when the weather allows for...

Gave 3, that's for the setting, staff and cake.

In 2024, having a push button coffee machine is pretty poor. I know it is a tea room so don't expect good coffee but they also served what seemed to me as shop bought scones, which isn't in keeping with a good tea room. Cake on the other hand, was spot on.

Prices are fair. Good selection of light bites.

Wouldn't head back specifically but would pop in on...

Englefield tea rooms are operating in a marquee - Ideal in this weather - from the shop and former tea rooms, while renovations are taking place to house, shop and tea rooms. Tea rooms open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at present. We have been for lunch after a local walk. Delicious salads, sandwiches and paninis etc. Also been for Afternoon tea - scrumptious. Well...
