The Cake Box Tea Room - Forest of Dean

I recently enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea at this charming café and I highly recommend it. I have had afternoon tea at many luxury hotels, but none compare to the experience I had at the Cake Room. The meal started with delicious homemade soup, followed by scones with jam and cream, a variety of sandwiches and wraps, tasty sausage rolls, and a delightful selection of homemade sweets. The food was exceptional and there was enough left over to take home in two large boxes. I will definitely be returning. A big congratulations to the owner and the wonderful staff at the café!

The homemade cakes at this restaurant were delicious and reasonably priced. We especially enjoyed the Eccles cakes. I would definitely come back again.

I stopped by this week for a bacon sandwich while working in town. The new owner, Colin, used to run a cafe in Ledbury where I frequented often. He was previously the General Manager at the Kilcot Inn, a local spot in Newent, before taking over The Italian Kitchen. Colin has always been friendly and welcoming to all. The cafe is charming and located in a delightful town.

A small but really good tea room in the centre of Newent. Great service from the owners. Good coffee and excellent food. Well worth a visit

I visited here when I was in Newent last weekend with the little un. I needed to find a bank while I was there and came across this place so me and a friend popped in for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. It's situated on the main high street and doubles as an Italian restaurant in the evening. The place is set out with those small tables suitable for a family of four with nice little table cloths. We didn't stop for long but had a cup of tea and some cake. The tea came out in one of those old pots that your grandmother used to have on her kitchen table. They had proper cups too. My cake was very well presented and tasted yummy. If we had had longer I might have stopped for some lunch but what I saw looked traditional, welcoming and irresistible. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. Just a pity I won't be visiting in the evening to try their Italian food as it's more than a stone's throw from where I live. In summary A little place of old England. Glad to see places like this are still around
