Other tearooms take note – this is how a busy operation should be run. On one of the busiest days of the year, with a large local fete adding to the already heaving tourist destination, I turned up with my elderly and immobile mother in law plus two others. No booking system here- you wait for a table. We asked if we could wait outside where we could sit down, and sure enough we were called in after approx. 20 mins to a table with a window. The tearoom was short staffed- three people plus a manager covering over 60 seats- yet the staff were patient with our mobility issue and always friendly. The service was outstanding- attentive, friendly, and very quick, and it was clear it wasn’t just us- the staff work really hard to make people happy. I’ve run busy restaurants and many eateries could learn a lesson or two here. The food was lovely – fresh and well presented, reasonable value and portion sizes. We will certainly be back (on a less busy day) and I recommend this establishment highly.

Had another fabulous visit to Pooh Corner. We only waited a few minutes for a table in the lovely outside courtyard garden. Two warm fruit scones with cream and jam was delicious along with a lovely flat white coffee. As was the tuna sandwich on gluten free bread and almond latte. The staff are always polite and the service very good. Although there was a constant stream of visitors, the queue reduced quickly. We will definitely be returning.
