Trumpet Corner Tea Room

Great coffee, home made cake and loved the Emma Bridgewater mugs! Easy parking and great to pick up a card and pressie from the gift shop too!

I don't even know where to start with this review! The coffee is consistently excellent and we can never say no to the incredible variety of homemade cakes available. The tea rooms have a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the outdoor seating area is absolutely gorgeous for enjoying summer days. We are frequent visitors because we enjoy supporting small, locally-owned businesses. This place is great for intimate dates or for larger gatherings. We even booked the entire venue for my Mum's 70th birthday party, and Annie and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this place.

Returning to this restaurant was a huge mistake. I have to give it one star, but honestly, it doesn't even deserve that. My friend and I visited a few weeks ago, but there was no food available due to staff shortages. The woman serving us was unfriendly, but we thought it was just the situation. We decided to give it another try for lunch today. When I asked if there was a vegan option, the response was simply "No," with no apology. After some discussion, the same woman suggested the Greek Wrap without Feta. We ordered coffee as well, and when it arrived, the cups were in poor condition. There was a chip on one and a cracked glaze on the other. When our wraps arrived, my friend's came with a side of crisps, but mine did not. I was informed that the crisps were not vegan, only vegetarian, and could have come into contact with milk. Despite explaining that it was a preference and not an allergy, I was still given crisps. I noticed halfway through our meal that my friend had green olives, which my wrap was missing. Despite having fewer ingredients, I was still charged £8.95 with no offer of a reduction or additional toppings. The coffee mugs were also stained and dirty. When I mentioned the missing olives to the owner, she explained that they come with the feta cheese. It would have been helpful if this had been communicated earlier. As we were browsing in the gift shop next door, the cafe owner accused us of not paying for our meal, causing a very embarrassing situation. When we went back to confirm payment, the owner only offered a half-hearted apology. I also mentioned the state of the cups and the lack of ingredients in my wrap, but was called rude by the cafe owner. Overall, the experience was unpleasant and we will not be returning.

The tea room is beautiful, Annie is delightful and made us feel very welcome. The homemade sausage rolls are a must-have and we had the best sausage sandwich ever!

Turned away when we turned up at 2pm for lunch, despite them not closing until an hour later. Also previously went for cake (which was on display) and told that cake 's not being cut until tomorrow . Hilarious if it wasn 't plain dumb. Nice venue ruined by a collective of Karen 's running it.
