The Valley Gardens Tea Rooms — Restaurant in England

Just visited this wonderful little tearooms here in Saltburn by the sea. We hopped on the minature railway train and was told about the tearooms at the end of the train journey. What a wonderful suprise to find a Victorian tearooms in the middle of the gardens, so quaint and beautiful it was beautifully decorated all Victorian with a homely feel, it reminded me of my grandmother's home when I was little. My mum absolutely loved it!!! We had tea for two served in dainty China cups and the most beautiful homemade Victoria sandwich cake with lashings of cream served in vintage bowls. Free refills on the tea!!! Oh what a heavenly day!! Mum had the turkey club sandwich it beat her as she couldn't finish but the lovely lady wrapped the rest of her sandwich up.

They can only accept cash (no card payments) but there were plenty of signs in the surrounding area advertising this, so be sure to get some cash out in Saltburn...

This wasn’t quite what I had expected. While the location is lovely, the tea room itself is currently quite cluttered with donations for some fund raising this summer. Boxes and chairs are stacked up in the tea room and in the toilet. The toilet was clean, but the baby changing table is not in use. When asked if I could change my 3 month old indoors out of the wind, the employee suggested I could change her on the toilet floor, and I could use one of the blankets available for guests if I would like. While she was polite about it, I thought this absolutely ridiculous.

Cakes were ok but pretty dry and overly sweet. I don’t think we...
