Raywell Tea Room & Bistro, (Cafe and Coffee) — Restaurant in England

Got to the lodge and couldn't be bothered to cook so mosied on up to the tearooms, we had a wrap each (my fiance had the steak wrap with no grisley bits or fat and it melted in the mouth and I had the Coronation chicken wrap) both came with chips.

Yummy and scrummy are 2 words that I think of.

Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and I think its great value for money

The service was attentative but not in your face, nothing was too much trouble.

Highly recommended

Leaving a second review here too as we decided to grab a spot of lunch, we both opted for a gigantic Club sandwich which came with some more of those yummy double cooked chips and a salad with a delicious dressing on it.

We sat outside in the sunshine, and this is the only little niggle I have, the rattan effect tables for 2 have a bit of a spring to them which meant both our glasses (and bottles) wobbled a little each time one of us picked up or put down our glass

We did have a bit of a wait, but it looked super busy both inside and out so it was expected and we were happy to wait...there was a couple there at the same time that didn't want to wait and cancelled their food order...maybe advising customers of possible wait times when busy may stop the less patient people doing that.

As I said we were in the sun, drinks and food, there was that much we asked for a doggy bag and ended up eating the other half of our sandwich with our own salad and slaw back at the lodge, instead of the BBQ we had planned on, as we were so stuffed.

The service was great, the fella who took our order and mostly dealt with us put a smile on your face straight away with how happy he was and the lady who was also dealt with us was great. They were both very friendly and attentive without going...

How disappointing was my visit to Raywell Hall Tearoom this lunchtime. I ordered a coffee & sausage sandwich and after about 20 minutes my coffee came, but after over 30 minutes, I had to ask if they'd forgotten my sandwich and the waitress told me they were " a bit behind" my sandwich eventually arrived over 45 minutes after I'd ordered it. I think you need to do some serious customer service training. My Husband and I ran our on cafe/restaurant for several years, so my criticism comes from a place of experience. Obviously your waitresses were aware that there would be a long wait for food, so why was this not explained to the customers. If I'd been made aware that this was the situation, I would have asked to have my coffee with my meal, not as happened today were I'd drunk my coffee before thd food came, which I had to do otherwise it would have gone cold. Or alternatively I could have gone elsewhere, knowing the wait would be so long. I feel that in the time I was at the tearoom you got customers by default, by not being honest with your customers of the situation and having paid for my coffee & sandwich, I was left with really no choice but to sit and wait. Your waiting staff were so matter of fact about the lateness of food, saying the staff were "all over the place" giving the impression that they just didn't care. I'm sure other customers at the time felt the same as I did, and although they may put up with it once, in the long term they just won't return. In the future, being in the position to be able to choose, I will be choosing to go...

Raywell Hall Tea Rooms and Bistro is a hidden gem within East Yorkshire. Surrounded by wonderful countryside and as per the name, it is perfectly nestled within the grounds of Raywell Hall.

Our first and unplanned visit to the tea rooms proved to be a great experience. The tea rooms is a small but perfectly sized venue that also offers an outdoor seating area.

From entering the building we were greeted by the superb staff and taken to our table and once inside, the area has a great cosy vibe going on.

The tea rooms offer a very good menu selection from coffee, cake, light bites and full meals to dine upon. There are even several late night openings and take away options for people should they desire.

Coffee and sandwiches was our choice and the food was very generously portioned and the quality was equally superb. Despite my sandwich being more than sufficient I couldn’t resist the carrot cake on display which was absolutely phenomenal.

All in all, Raywell Hall Tea Room and Bistro proved to be an excellent experience and one I would be very happy to recommend.

Should you be a local to the area, a tourist visiting or a walker using the nearby routes then schedule a visit here as you won’t be...
