Lovely place to have lunch, beautiful surroundings, good selection of tasty dishes, staff are very friendly and there's lots to see and do in the Waterperry. Visit the museum too and speak to Gordon; he's wonderful!

The team at the Teashop make everything by hand on the premises, using the best locally sourced ingredients they can find, often from Waterperry's own walled garden. From delicious home baked cakes, vegan oat-bars, vegetarian lasagnes, chicken salads, to toasties and sandwiches. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Beautifully picturesque in the summer. Picnic Hampers are available to pre-order from the website. Treat yourself to a bottle of Apple Juice or Cider made from Waterperry’s very own Orchards, delicious. The Teashop is open from 10am, last orders 5pm, closing at 5.30pm. The servery is open from 12pm daily and serves hot meals over the lunchtime period.

Tasty cream tea, although a little expensive at £7.50 for one scone, clotted cream, jam and tea and kids hot chocolate was £3.75! Free parking outside the tea shop. The admission ticket is only required if you visit the gardens. I’ll be back for lunch.

The tea loaf is the best I’ve ever had. Also, whatever tea they use was delicious - most coffee shops just use the cheap stuff; theirs was great! Lovely path out the back down into Tiddington too.
