The room
Small on purpose.
We kept the room small so the tea is never rushed and the noise never rises. Walk-ins are welcome on weekdays; at weekends booking is wise.
Pots, not cups
Every tea comes as a pot for one or two, with a timer and a jug of hot water to top up.
Quiet hours
Tuesday to Thursday, 10am to 1pm, laptops and calls are welcome. After 1pm the room is for talking.
A window onto the kitchen
Watch the bakers pipe flowers and finish cakes for the next day.
Private hire
Take the whole room.
For bridal showers, birthday teas, book clubs and small board meetings. The room seats eighteen at three long tables or twenty four standing.
