Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Rockingham

Not being a fan of cream and cakes, I have always been a bit reluctant to do afternoon tea. However, having experienced this, because of a gift card from daughter, my opinion has changed. My wife enjoyed her standard tea of cream and jam scone with selection of cakes but I had the savoury option, all my favourite things, sausage roll, pork pie, cheese, scotch egg, haslet with pickle as well as the standard sandwiches. Superb. The ambience, service and overall experience were all excellent. I am converted to afternoon tea and will be doing it again.

Met with my daughter for coffee and we decided to have pancakes with fruit too which was delicious. The coffee was really good too. The staff are extremely friendly and we and our rather large dog were made to feel very welcome. The 1867 is very popular so I recommend booking ahead, even if you only want a quick coffee.

Absolutely lovely as always. Nice surroundings lovely food good service

Really nice for a special occasion will definitely like to visit again

Afternoon tea was lovely. Great selection and plenty of food presented very well. Nice atmosphere. My main issue was with service or lack of. No warm welcome by server, just hurriedly asked what tea we wanted. When the food came out we had a different server who did talk us through what was presented to us. Other than that we had no interaction with the staff and had to flag down the bill. Another different server brought this over and didn't speak only to ask how we wanted to split it. Considering a 12.5% service charge is applied to your bill very little service took place.
