Amazing royal decor and brilliant menu. Only wished I had taken a photo of...the BLT I had before eating it, was beautiful!! Would definitely recommend and visit again!!More

It's been far too long since our last visit here, but as we had been gifted an afternoon tea, we took the opportunity today to indulge ourselves. The tearoom was just as we remembered, clean and welcoming with a warm ambience. Our welcome drink of...fruit infused tea was immediately served, followed by a large pot of tea for two. The tiered serving platter followed soon after with a selection of beautifully fresh triangular sandwiches including ham, egg mayo, tuna mayo & coronation chicken, all on soft, thick cut bread and garnished with mixed salad.. delicious. The two scones, one fruited, one plain, came with a generous portion of strawberry jam and thick clotted cream, again delicious. Two finger chocolate éclairs and two huge wedges of cake followed, and these were equally fresh and delicious. Service was exemplary. It's no surprise that Cup A Cha wins so many awards , deservedly so too. Huge thanks to Amy and her team for going above and beyond in letting us enjoy our belated birthday treat. Our only regret is that we don't get the chance to visit more often.More

Celebrated my daughters 50 birthday. Ordered afternoon tea, plenty of food and unlimited teas and coffee. Excellent, plenty of good quality sandwiches and cakes as well as a shot of soup and fruit tea. It's a lovley place and if your a royalist the collection...of memorabilia is very interesting. Can't wait to visit again.More

I pre booked an afternoon tea for myself and my daughters. It was everything we could have wanted and more. The selection of cakes and sandwiches was light and delicious. The drinks were fruity and decaffeinated, so lovely. Service was friendly, attentive and always with...a smile! This is a must go to place and you will want to keep going back for more. If you want afternoon tea, make Cup A Cha your first choice.More
