The current debate raging through my disproportionately small head: is whether to write this review, or not.
You see, I love this Tea Room so much that I don't want to tell you about it. That way, I can keep it all to myself and other Maccites that know it...and ramblers that stumble upon it after an exhilarating hike.
However, after a serious (and slightly psychotic) chat with myself about the perils of selfish behaviour, my better senses prevailed.
You need a car to get there, and it's worth calling ahead if you're a party of 3+ as despite being out of the way, it gets busy. You'll understand why as soon as you walk in. I loathe to tell you this, but upon entering this cute little building set amongst rolling hills, you're greeted by a warm fire and a table full of fresh, home made desserts.
After you reorientate yourself and realise that you have neither stepped back in time, nor fast tracked to heaven, take a nice long look at the table of heaven/cakes...it's all the same to me.
The staff are always very friendly, and willing to offer any assistance if you can't identify what the cake is simply by looking.
My favourite would have to be 'Death by Chocolate' served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Actually, my favourite is the 'Chocolate Fudge Fake'...served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. No wait, my favourite is the 'Victoria Sponge Cake'...or 'Apple Crumble'...or 'Carrot Cake'...or...ok, I love all the cakes!
I've eaten lunch there a couple of times,vegetarian options are limited but not obsolete. The food is simple, traditionally English and hearty. I should also mention that the portions are very generous!
If I'm being honest though, I don't go there for lunch, I go there for the cakes...I'm sure you figured that out.
