Teapot Tea Shop - Mole Valley

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for enjoying breakfast or afternoon tea. The cakes are absolutely delicious as well. The garden is lovely for sitting outside in the summer months.

Saturday pm visit for hot drinks cake. Quickly offered a table which was fine after we stepped around various canine obstructions. Ordered a coffee, hot chocolate and 2 cakes. The raspberry white chocolate cake was excellent but the lemon drizzle poor compared to experiences elsewhere (quite dry not much drizzle). Coffee good quality but a very small cup. Hot chocolate was a mug of frothy milk with a chocolate stick to dunk in it. The milk receded to half a mug and wasn’t very hot. Bill came to £16.20 which was high and would expect better quality quantity at that price. We made a point about the hot chocolate and was offered a £1 discount. Given the disappointment, won’t hurry back to be honest.

We called in by chance and unfortunately later in the day so a few items were no longer available but the food we had was very good and the staff there friendly and couldn’t fault it.

I recently used a Christmas voucher for afternoon tea at Teapot Cafe and had a fantastic experience. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and on such a hot day, they gave us the choice of sitting inside or out. The food was delicious - we were served a generous selection of tasty sandwiches, two large scones with jam and cream, and five huge slices of cake. It was so much food that we couldn't finish it all, but they kindly boxed up the leftovers for us to enjoy throughout the week. It had been some time since our last visit to the cafe, but after this wonderful experience, we will definitely be returning soon.

Looks nice but the unfriendly welcome spoiled the image a bit. Tea and cake was lovely but the crockery and table could have been a bit cleaner. I’d try somewhere else next time.
