E & R Tearoom Ltd — Restaurant in Harborough

Visited today using a Groupon offer for afternoon tea which was a christmas gift for a friend. We arrived early but that was no problem, the staff were very polite and we were seated and served straight away. We both chose tea and were surprised that the tea was loose leaf, we were informed of this when served and given a tea strainer. The tea was very good and we received a refill when required. We could not fault the generous selction received, assorted sandwiches, quiche, sausage rolls, salad, coleslaw, crisps, various cakes and traybakes along with warm scones with clotted cream and jam. We were able to take our time and catch up whilst enjoying our food but we simply could not eat it all.

The shop itself seems crowded with lots of pointless junk being sold on the windows rather than space for tables. The radio station was irritating and kept playing news which wasn't very relaxing in a supposed tea room. The cakes were very nice but not at all worth a...

We've visited a few times now - both with and without the children. It's a nice tearoom which serve afternoon teas (both for children and adults) as well as a number of other light lunches, cakes and snacks.

We previously had afternoon tea there, which was lovely and gave our tea fussy children the chance to try something new. This week, we popped in on our way home from Manchester. The children had a flatbread pizza and a sausage sandwich, while we enjoyed a salad and a panini.

The food was very tasty and the staff were, as always, polite and friendly. Our little man loved his bubblegum milkshake! The tearoom has a really nice atmosphere and certainly enhances a visit to this...
