I arranged for a hen party to have cream tea at The Moat Tea Rooms and we were very pleased with the service. The cream tea was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. They had been great at contacting us about our booking and reserved us an area for our party. The staff even put our decorations for... More

Amazing old building (15th Century at least?) which is a delight in itself even before you get to sample their fare. We had the cream tea and were not disappointed; the scones were so light. You have to admire the staff who constantly run up and down none-too-safe steep medieval stairs with pots of scalding liquid on trays and are... More

This delightful little tea room offers light lunches and cream teas with delicious home made cakes. Well worth a visit.

I am a frequent visitor to the tea rooms and find it very accommodating; it is just off of the main high street so great for a quiet lunch. It has a great selection of teas and home-made cakes and the staff are always very friendly. I particularly enjoy their bacon and brie sandwiches which are absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Their website say that they close at 6 pm on a Saturday. I arrived at 5 pm to Di d them closed, the reason given that they were not busy enough on that day. An hour earlier they were full. If you advertise that you are open the only reason to be closed is that you are unable to serve... More

I've been here many times as it's only down the road from me. They always have an excellent selection of freshly made cakes and the food is very good all-round. No other place in the area does a better selection of specialist teas & coffees. Good central location also. Recommended

We enjoyed some mid-morning tea here recently. It is a very cute little spot and well worth a stop at. We enjoyed some Victoria sponge, scones, and a delicious earl grey tea. We were quite impressed with the service and price. I'd come back again if I were in the area for this authentic experience.

I organised for a surprise hen-do gathering at the tea rooms and from the very first exchange the staff were prompt and helpful and extremely keen to make this event a special one. No requests were too much hassle and we were accommodated for in our own little back room to ourselves. All staff were polite and cheerful and the... More

In a city full of interesting old buildings and with cafes, coffee shops, tea rooms and restaurants by the dozen, the Moat team rooms stand out. The building is delightful, the staff are extremely helpful (without ever being 'in your face') and the food served is excellent. I don't like tea, so I can't speak for that, but the cakes... More
