Little Hermitage Olney — Restaurant in England

We had booked in for afternoon tea yesterday for 6 people but then realised we weren't going to be able to eat in. We contacted the owner to ask if we could collect the food instead. She dropped the food over herself, and there was so much of it! The open sandwiches were as beautiful as they were delicious (fig, ham and caramelised onion was a favourite!). There were salmon croissants, sausage rolls and delicious prawn cocktail. The cake selection was incredible - far too much cake for 6 people and scones and macaroons- we have leftovers for lunch today! Thank you so much for all your effort - slightly delayed due to circumstances beyond the owners control but we'll worth the wait. highly recommended, thanks for accommodating our change of plans. I wish I had thought to take pictures of the spread before we all tucked in- attached pictures are of the savory food only after we had eaten some. I would definitely describe it as a huge picnic rather than afternoon tea, not dainty but...

i’ve been trying to visit this place for a long time. 100 out of 100! firstly, there is a free parking nearby, which is a big Yes! secondly, the owner cooks everything herself😍 i myself cook daily and eat 99% homemade, which is why i loved this place so much! it was a feeling like i’m eating my own food prepared with love and care. i don’t eat eggs and pork which made it a little hard, but then i saw a hummus plate with aubergine and Oh Wow, it was super delicious. my husband had a sourdough with avocado and loved it. Portion is big and generous! also, i have to mention that because she cooks herself it made it easy for us to switch type of meat, cause we don’t eat pork. so thankful for that! thirdly, they serve coffee with Doe&fawn coffee beans. love it!

if you live nearby, make sure to visit Little Hermitage 💕💕💕 definitely going...

An unassuming place off the beaten track, with a menu that changes every 2 months and is shaped by the available seasonal and locally grown produce, Little Hermitage offers up something a little different and fabulously tasty!…what’s more, portions are large and prices are very reasonable!… Our party of four each enjoyed the fig & blue cheese sandwich with prosciutto ham on sourdough, a wild mushroom open sandwich on sourdough, a butternut squash & feta salad, and a falafel burger….all came with a fine house salad dressed with a piquant balsamic dressing, and accompanied with our chosen soft drinks, pink lemonade and ginger & turmeric….we rounded off our meal with a selection of the homemade cakes, earl grey and red berry teas and coffee…. A lovely, hidden gem, highly recommended, that we will unhesitatingly...
