The Rustic Tea Garden — Restaurant in England

September 2022 My friend Geraldine and I came upon this enchanting tea garden by chance, whilst out walking on Saturday and what a lucky find! It’s in a beautiful setting and it offers a larger menu than we expected, and with such great prices. The cakes are divine……we tried the raspberry and white chocolate plus the lemon drizzle and they are to die for! Beth, the proprietor, told me they are baked on a local farm. Beth is so lovely and friendly and after continuing our walk, we called back to take cake home. It absolutely made our day to find this jewel in the crown, so thank you! I’ll definitely be returning with my husband!

Update: I did indeed return with my husband on Bank Holiday Monday, May 1st 2023 only to find the tea garden has changed hands and is completely different! If I remember correctly, it's now called Sip and Sea and only serves drinks. Maybe they may expand to serving food, I don't know? I was gutted to find it wasn't the same,...

Been going for 35 years to The Rustic Tea Garden (Formally Margaret’s Rustic Tea Garden). 1. It’s a huge shame the fairy chairs have been removed The prices have inflated considerably and the cream tea scones are tiny (Picture added). It’s a shame as this was always known for having large homemade scones! The road down has always had craters but anyone that moans at that needs to park in Bude and walk over - I managed to drive my Sports car down so anyone with a normal family car an easily make it. Single toilet is much needed by customers but wasn’t in service. It feels much more commercial than it did with the sisters who had a family feel. I really hope the new owners can consider how they can attract and retain customers as we specifically always drove here on the way to Newquay each year but feel it’s over priced and...

We stay at Bude every year and today (july 2019) only discovered this lovely place. Don’t be put off that they operate from a caravan. My wife, my parents and I stopped off there today after reading other reviews. Margaret was very friendly and helpful and down to earth. They have a 5* hygiene rating and the food is more than value for money. The caravan is set in lovely grounds with a stream running through it.very picturesque and really a hidden gem. The tea was very nice and wow what can I say about the scones. Soft moist n fluffy. They are wonderfully covered with more than generous helping of jam and complimented with a over generous helping of clotted cream. We were stuffed. They also offer pasties and ice cream for dogs. I’m quite picky but loved this place. Defo recommend it and will...
