Lovely old house w/little tables w/china cups of tea complete w/tea strainers and embroidered cloths on the tables. I had the soup, salad,and sandwich combo. The soup was a delicately flavoured minted pea, half sandwich of black forest ham and provolone, and tossed greens w/poppy seed dressing. Herbal tea was wonderful, not even needing sweetner. Melt in your mouth, drippy butter tart for dessert! Allow plenty of time (over 90 min.). You'll want to return for sure!

We had a beautiful lunch on the patio at this restaurant. The server was very attentive and made sure to keep our iced water filled (super hot day). The lunch was delicious and the deserts were also, although I have to agree with the previous reviewer on the comment that it is not Devonshire cream but chantilly (small point though and doesn't detract from the tastiness).

All in all, it was a very nice way to spend a summer's day.

My Father took me here recently to celebrate my Birthday. I was so pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious and the portions are the perfect size for a light lunch. What would get me back through that door in a heartbeat though are the desserts. Keep in mind I am not a dessert, or sweet, eater. I cannot resist lemon desserts though and they have a to DIE for lemon curd tart. My father got the mixed berry scone. Well, I'm not sure which one I loved more.
Please give this place a try, you will not be disappointed!

Awesome homemade food....superb soups! A great place for women to sit and enjoy a bite to eat and a cup of tea.

The ambiance is the 1st thing you notice. A old Victorian mansion, nicely refurbished. Lunch specials, especially the soups, are always great tasting. The homemade desserts are great, as well.
Make sure you phone to reserve as it's hard to get a table without reserving beforehand.
A great addition to the Peterborough culinary scene.
