The best Afternoon Tea in the South. I booked to visit for a Mothers Day afternoon tea however unfortunately my Mother fell unwell, I contacted Roy at The Bridge Tea Rooms and he arranged a take-away afternoon tea for us instead. We had 5 finger sandwiches each, a freshly baked scone, homemade jam, clotted cream, lemon drizzle cake, a brownie, a strawberry and cream tartlet and a hazelnut meringue - that was just for 1 person and all for £12.50...you couldn't make this much food at home for that. So impressed and my Mother loved it (once she was feeling better) Roy was also kind enough to arrange to cater to my gluten and dairy intolerances meaning I had my own free from alternatives. I'd rate this place 10 out of 10 if I could. Thank you Roy & the rest of the team!
Have heard about the magical powers of this place, but never before ventured this far.
To be fair, if you didn't know what it was you would probably drive past it without realising - which is possibly part of its hidden gem charm.
As you drive in, you have a beautiful view over the Wiltshire countryside - and even on a fairly chilly March day it was just glorious to behold.
The cafe itself is very easy to access, nice disabled parking - thank you. There are tables and sheds outside for al fresco but we decided to dine indoors. Looks very inviting as you walk in and all the staff looked genuinely happy - which is nice - and we were seated within a couple of minutes.
Good choices for all tastes, including vegan, veggie and gluten free options. Decided to go for the Veggie Breakfast. The Husband had the hash browns.
Both meals came out quickly, and both were delicious. If I had one niggle, my beans were cold - but I eat in a funny order so it was more my fault than the cafe's.
Also had a glorious hot chocolate - with vegetarian marshmallows (thank you), while him indoors had a pot of tea.
Overall, great location, fantastic staff, very good food. If you're in the area, it's worth a look... but don't tell anyone else...
They also do lovely cakes, but I wasn't allowed to sample one... Maybe next time!😀
Not sure if you would find this place unless you were hiring a narrow boat. Which is a shame because it deserves much more.
I don't think I've ever visited a cafe that tries, and succeeds so brilliantly to supply really tasty gluten free and dairy free foodstuff.
The owner is both knowledgable and passionate about providing high quality produce at affordable prices.
It was so refreshing to discover this place and enjoy their wide range of drinks, cakes and snacks.
As someone with Coeliac Disease, I always am a little bit apprehensive when trying somewhere new. However, my partner and I had a great experience today. All staff are very clued up with cross contamination, and I had one of the best BLT’s I think I’ve ever had!! Will definitely be returning, thank you No. 10 Tea Garden!
Finally, a delicious gluten free scone! Beautiful setting, lovely pot of tea and lots of gluten free options! We had a jam and cream GF scone which was divine! Offered either plain or fruit, opted for plain. Can’t wait to come back.
