A recent visit to Dunster Castle brought us to discover this Victorian tea room and we vowed to return.
Today was that day.
I called ahead and booked at table for two.
When we arrived, we entered through the back entrance that led out to the Nation Trust car park of Dunster Castle. Handy as I'm a member so parking was free.
The immediate impression was that this place had character. A typical well kept English tea garden. Beautiful and full of life.
We made our way through to the servery and announced our arrival.
Luckily there was ample space for us to choose our seats, and we chose a table for two in the back garden, tucked nicely under the veranda of the main building. Very cosy, romantic and fresh.
On this occasion we chose afternoon tea, and we weren't disappointed.
The waitress dutifully took our choices for the sandwiches, cakes and scones, and of course drinks. (We chose the coffee option instead of tea)
The menu was actually very good. It was clear, full of choice for all dietary options. A clear allergy reference was included.
We didn't wait lthat ong, (the menu does explain that each dish is made to order so delivery may take a little longer. A nice touch as expectations are set, and disappointment avoided. Simple and effective) and our afternoon tea was served up and looked lovely.
Tasty, fresh sandwiches. Fruity, flavoursome , moist cakes. Perfectly hard/soft scones, and a jam & clotted cream to match.
No complaints here.
All I'm all, a very nice experience and I would recommend a visit.
Dog friendly too.
Great tea room with both indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly. Pretty gardens and quaint court yard. The menu had a nice selection of hot and cold foods and drinks. Our party of 7 were having cream teas. There is a good selection of scones with tea or coffee. I had the cherry scone which was warm, fresh and delicious. The tea was plentiful enough for 3/4 cups. Service was prompt and staff very friendly and efficient. I would definitely revisit and recommend to others.
A fab little cafe. We wanted something to keep us going and found we had a lot more than we expected in a good way. Plenty of choice on the menu and as it was raining we were in the little room out the back just beyond the courtyard. We would go there again and it backs onto the National Trust car park so we could just go through the back gate to our car. Very hand and a nice way to end our visit to Dunster Castle.
Lovely hidden gem tea garden. Super friendly staff, lovely chill environment.
Lovely little tea room full of history. As it was a very wet January afternoon it wasn't busy But can be very busy in the summer. The choices for this afternoon tea are to long to mention, but I can say there should be something for everyone. The place is clean and tidy and our waitress was friendly and attentive without being over the top. All homemade cakes and scones and if my trousers could have taken the strain I would have loved to have tasted another slice so that will have to be done another day !
Highly recommended and value for the money.
Stopped off for some homemade soup, a cup of coffee and a slice of cake. All very good served to us by a friendly efficient staff.
A good selection of tea room standard's jacket potatoes, pasties and cheese on toast to choose from.????
Nice, neat little tea garden you have to know is there or you would walk right by. It is sign posted but you would never know how lovely it is unless you went through the shop to the back area. People are friendly and the food was tasty. Well worth a trip in the country to go have a tea and scone. Thank you.
We visited this beautiful tea room after exploring Dunster Castle and it was the perfect way to end our day. My friend and I both ordered cream teas, her’s sweet and mine savoury. Both were wonderful! My blue cheese scone was the best I’ve had and the tea was refreshingly delicious. The service was also very helpful and friendly.
