Visited here with my partner for a drink and a tea cake. The bottles of lemonade we bought both had best before dated scrubbed off and sediment at the bottom, we should have pointed it out to the owners but we thought how bad can out of date lemonade be? Subsequently we both had 24 hour stomach aches. Very dissatisfied with the king's lock tearooms, any place that leaves you with a stomach ache needs calling out. If it weren't for the stomach issues I wouldn't have written anything. If you're planning a trip to the canal...take your own food and drink. The tearooms don't deserve the 1 star I gave them. (Edit) Of course the owner responds and of course the customer is wrong. We, I repeat "we" both had stomach issues after visiting the tearooms. Sell by dates are there for a reason and it's the seller's responsibility to make sure goods are within date and that dates are legible. I only have the owners word that it was a printing issue. An apology would have been better than a tap dance and it's only libel when it's not true. And as a note to the owner, we've both recovered thank you for not asking.

After a walk past the tearoom along the canal and the river soar then back the much deserved ice creams were as good as the service. With a Quaint tearoom inside with plenty of seating in the open and covered area in the back it's a great place to spend a few hours losing yourself. A secret peice of tranquillity tucked away on the Rover soar that is Dog friendly. There is Limited parking with approx 10 spaces in the main car Park, but with plenty on the roads in I'd advise parking then walking in the 100-150 meters to make it easier. That way yoy can really earn those fresh baguettes and ice creams!!!

Found this place after an extensive google for somewhere to go on Mothers day and it is a lovely little hidden gem. A little out of the way and it’s not possible to park adjacent but it’s a relatively short walk up the tow path (not wheelchair/mobility limited friendly I’m afraid). Once there though a lovely quaint tea shop serving great food and drink and I would imagine it’s lovely on a warm sunny day. The afternoon tea was good value and the breakfast looks very good for the money! Well worth a trip out of the way.

Nice place first time visiting with my grandad, as an autistic person i find it difficult to go to places like this, but felt very comfortable and welcomed here , caitlin who served us was very nice , friendly had a smile on her face the entire time and had a chat with us, had rum and raisin icecream which was lovely, and a latte, both very delicious, will be visiting here again, P.S would highly recommend if your walking long distances , good place to stop

We had a full English Breakfast with a hot chocolate today after a walk with the dogs....it was delicious ...we ate outside in the enclosed dog hut ..dogs are allowed inside too if you want but we were a little bit muddy and felt just as comfortable in the hut....very dog friendly ..bowls and water available and the dogs were given treats too.. ...lovely garden and views even in the winter ...would highly recommend

Lovely walk through Aylestone Meadows and the midway point was King's Lock Tearooms. What a fantastic place for a rest. Really lovely people, great food, lovely coffee. They even have a doggie menu which is fantastic. There is an undercover seating area for inclement weather and a play area for children. Right on the canal (not surprisingly) so easy walking, although paths are a bit uneven. Highly recommended.
