Cozy, quaint, comfy have all been used to describe this adorable British outpost in the Tennessee woods and all fit so well. Located about 40 minutes from downtown past Pegram (if you have been out to loveless it's out that way) this little shed served up truly authentic British sandwiches, rolls, pastries, tea, biscuits and crumpets. We had a bacon butty, a sausage butty, a ploughman, some jammy dodgers and minced pie. Everything was top notch as good as I've had in England. Plus delicious hot chocolate served by an adorable helper out back. Seating is all outdoors. The location is in the woods and very shady for the summer with patio umbrellas. In winter they have fire pits and delightful knit blankets to help keep you warm. Of course there's hot tea as we serve in true British fashion with a teapot and fine china! Tea service is also offered though you must book this ahead. They recommend calling and scheduling on the Wednesday before you'd like your service. Overall this is a great place to come before or after you have been out on the river or just anytime you'd like to get out of town a bit. Prices are very reasonable there is ample parking in the gravel lot and a very clean outhouse if you need that. The staff can and will answer any questions you have and really go above and beyond to make your visit pleasant. Go give...
ย ย ย Read moreIf you're looking for a delightful escape just off Highway 70 in Kingston Springs, this charming cafe is a must-visit. Nestled in a picturesque valley, the cafe offers a unique British-themed experience surrounded by the beauty of nature. One of the standout features is the nursery, where fresh herbs are grown, and the occasional surprise visit from friendly hens and a rooster adds to the quaint atmosphere.
During our visit, we enjoyed the cucumber cream cheese toast and tuna salad sandwich. The freshness of the ingredients, likely sourced from the on-site nursery, made each bite flavorful and unique. The tea, fitting the British theme, was exceptional and exceeded my expectations.
Our waiter, Debra, was incredibly kind and made us feel right at home, much like visiting a beloved aunt's farmhouse. The cafe is also kid-friendly, and my child couldn't stop exclaiming, "This is the best place in the world!"
Additionally, the cafe offers scheduled teatime, which we eagerly anticipate attending. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this cafe is a perfect spot for families, foodies, and tea...
ย ย ย Read moreThe food is insanely overpriced and not great.
Egg sandwiches that I make at home truly make Yorkshire deli look like a joke. The bread isn't special, the mayo isn't from scratch, the mustard is standard, there wasn't even cheese on it. $15 for a mediocre (at best ) sandwich is really taking the pi**
THE POTATO SALAD IS CRIMINAL. Whoever made this has some cheek to charge $12 for three potatoes that were all smaller than golf balls. It was just flavorless, and it wasn't even a large salad. DO NOT GET THIS PLATE, I swear on my life you will regret it.
The fish fingers... are a joke. They are frozen from a yellow bag. The bag looked like a long john silver bag.
The scotch egg isn't even a real scotch egg because it isn't deep friend.
The scone was just okay. Without the clotted cream and jam the scone isn't something to boast about.
Is the outside area nice enough... yes. Is the tea good? yes, but it's also pretty hard to mess up tea.
My advice, drive 8 minutes up the road to the BBQ place if you are really hungry.
Am I still upset that I spent $60 here......
