We visited during half term so made a reservation beforehand. I would recommend booking as I saw many people being turned away. The cream tea was amazing - warmed scones, very generous helpings of clotted cream and jam. Alan was very friendly and you can...tell him and his wife really enjoy what they do. Our children had the cheese melts which they both loved too.More

My husband and I booked in advance due to covid . We turned up a little early but was able to sit at our table right away. The Tea room is small, but there were dividers between tables and although old fashioned, it was clean...and well looked after. The owner was polite and made friendly conversation and I notice a few times after handling money and cards, he would sanitise his hands and he wore a mask throughout. We didn't have to wait long for our orders (and I don't eat much) and when it did come, it was really substantial. We especially loved how the salad was put together, nothing was left out. For an extra treat, we took home a slice of hm lemon and coffee cakes. Delicious! Thank you so much for a delightful lunch.More

Stopped in Stow for lunch. Good job I used trip advisor to find a place to eat. The Old bakery is hard to find. It's at the end of a small shopping arcade. There is signage but there nothing that can be done about it....Make sure you spend the time to find it, its worth it. A small place very Covid secure, lovely atmosphere, the story behind why the couple set up is amazing. They really love what they do. Conversations are good. Food is freshly prepared and therefore there is a little wait, but that is ok because its fresh. Toilet is really clean. I can't complain about anything. Price of food is reasonable. I am so glad I found this place and I will be returning when I travel through Stow. To avoid disappointment book in advance, even on the same day book in advance.More

What a little gem this place is! Upon arriving at Stow on the wold we had a look on Trip Advisor to get an idea of places to visit and we were not disappointed by this find. I’d definitely suggest calling in advance and booking...as it was clearly popular. Alan was so welcoming, was just like speaking to an old friend! They have clearly taken all the precautions they can re Covid, and we felt very safe and well looked after. My husband had steak platter and I had ham and eggs, the food was amazing, so homely and punching above its price point (we couldn’t believe the cost, we would have been happy to pay double!). Home cooked ham, homemade salad dressing, great portions! You can tell that this couple love what they do, and they work very hard to maintain an exceptional standard, we can’t wait to visit them again.More

We found this place on a drizzly day in Stow-in-the-Wold and I’m so glad we did! We were lucky enough to get a table and seemed to arrive just at the right time as so many other customers had to be turned away because it...was full. The tea room is small and has a very cute, old fashioned feel to it, just like tea rooms should be! The gentleman who served us (and I believe who also owns it) was very friendly and cheery and took our order swiftly. We both ordered a scone with jam and cream and I ordered a hot chocolate and my husband a latte. The scones were so delicious! Homemade and warm, with beautiful homemade jam! My hot chocolate, made with melted chocolate, was soooo good! So chocolatey, like a hug in a mug, just what you need on a cold, damp day! Could not recommend this tea room more!More

Lunch choices were excellent, fresh mixed salad and home-made quiche, bacon muffin. Good proper loose leaf tea with warm & light as a feather scones. Very friendly service by the owner. Covid-19 safety measures respected, screens between tables etc.

Very pleasant little family run eatery and tea rooms. Would recommend a visit. Very Covid safe environment.
