Fifteas Vintage Tea Room — Restaurant in England

Always a warm welcome when you arrive. There may be a short wait until you get seated but never more than a few moments.

Special menus displayed on the wall are indicated. There are fabulous tea room choices on the menu from both hot and cold selections.

I’ll definitely come back when I’m...

Good food / very poor service. We have visited twice this year….the first time we were shown to a dirty table and when we asked if it could be cleaned the waitress replied, “I’ll get round to it when I’m not busy”. The waitress was abrupt and surely throughout. The second visit this week again was let down by staff who seemed to simply not notice we were there. We had to ask twice to order food and when our pudding came it wasn’t the jam and coconut sponge we ordered but a ginger sponge instead. The waitress didn’t even bring any cutlery to eat it with. On both occasions the food was good but quite honestly we thought the staff seemed to be a world...
