No 10 Tea Garden — Restaurant in England

We pop in here regularly while walking the dog and since they've expanded the breakfast menu it's a delight to stop and stuff our faces mid walk. Previously they did cooked sandwiches but could tailor it a bit if you say wanted scrambled eggs but now you can order a posh brekkie with avocado, poached eggs and awesome bacon.

One of the biggest problems we find is that it is impossible to get poached eggs cooked with a beautifully runny yolk in most places. Katie managed to deliver 2 beautifully soft poached eggs despite being under a lot of pressure with a lot of breakfast orders. James gets very sad, understandably, when a poached egg comes out hard so 10/10 for that lush breakfast.

MIssing my carrrot cake this week, not enough space for it among the dozen other hand made cakes, all made from scratch on the premesis by Sarah, so real effort has gone into those they aren't bought in. Knowing how much time and effort goes into each cake and getting a decent sized slice I never whinge about the price any more, it's worth it. It's odd how some people will complain about paying £3.50 or £4 for a beautifully crafted, hand made slice of cake but will then happily pay £8 for a dollop of ice cream and a defrosted desert in a restaurant.

Honestly, the cake is enough to go for on it's own but breakfast too. I shared the brownie I had as I did not have enough space left after breakfast for that too.

Can't recommend it...

I often visit No.10 after a long dog walk, the staff are incredibly welcoming and i am always greeted with a big smile by the lovely staff no matter how busy they are. They are also very accommodating to my 4 legged friend who is spoilt by choice of all the doggy treats available!

I often get breakfast which is always cooked to perfection and you can even see it all being freshly made in front of you in the open kitchen. The menu is very well made as it caters for everyone. You can really tell the ingredients are the best of the best.

If I'm a bit late for breakfast, I get one of their homemade sausage rolls which are to die for! They have also started making homemade pasties which i sampled the other day and the flavour was insane with such a lovely pastry.

I am working my way through all the different varieties of amazing cakes as there is so many to choose from. The brownie is one of my favourites but i most recently tried their new pumpkin spiced cake which was so tasty.

Cannot recommend...

The outside seating area is really nice, particularly on a sunny day, with lots of tables and space.

However, the tuna and cucumber sandwich I had was expensive (over £5.00) and poor value for money for the price. It was homemade but came pre-packaged and was really soggy when I had it which was disappointing, particularly for the price.

It's also a shame that they don't do certain items after 11:00, such as their Bacon or Sausage sandwiches - I'm also not really sure why this would be the case, at least until lunchtime?

The coffee was perfectly fine and the cakes looked nice, although I didn't have any so can't comment.

Overall, great location, but average food and expensive. I would probably go back and try again in the future if I visit the area again, but it would be nice to see some of these...
