Our Quality Hot Drinks Selection
At the heart of our tea room is a dedication to excellence and authenticity. We proudly serve Tregothnan tea, grown and blended on the historic Tregothnan estate in Cornwall — the first and only tea truly grown in England. Delicate, fragrant, and uniquely British, it's a taste of tradition with every cup.
Complementing our teas, we offer Lavazza Gold, a smooth and mellow Italian coffee blend renowned for its rich aroma and balanced flavor. Carefully selected Arabica beans deliver a luxurious experience, whether you prefer a classic espresso or a creamy cappuccino.
Savor each sip — crafted with care, served with pride.
Cakes and Scones
All our cakes and scones are made on the premises by Susan, who consitently produces light and fluffy cakes and scones.
We also have the "The Chocolate Cream Tea" with chocolate chip scones, Cadburys chocloate spread and clotted cream, and a "Gentleman's Cream Tea" with cheese scones, Philadelphia cheese and red onion relish.
TEA GARDEN
Enjoy outdoor seating in our charming tea garden, tucked away from the bustling harbourfront — the perfect alfresco retreat for relaxing in peace.
Daily Specials
We have daily specials to suit the seasons. We always have tasty Vegan/Vegetarian options each day as well to suit all tastes and life styles.
Take Away
We sell all our meals, cakes, cream teas and drinks as take aways.
Enjoy a cream tea sitting by the harbour, or on the beach, or take one of our cakes home to enjoy with a cup of tea later.
