WINNER - BEST TEA ROOM
A riverside gem favoured by young families as well as tea experts, the Orange Pekoe tea room enjoys a broad following. Fans are attracted by its villagey charm, homely cooking and fabulous teas. It’s a cosy, welcoming place with a food counter at the front leading to rustic-style tables towards the back. Wild flowers in alcoves, teatime trinkets and blackboard menus add to the homespun appeal. At the entrance, rows of black tea caddies are filled with around 50 special varieties. The house blend is especially invigorating – a carefully honed mix of darjeeling tea, underpinned by the rounded character of ceylon. Just as outstanding, silver-tipped jasmine deserves accolades for its deep, mellow, sweet fragrance. Knowledgeable, on-the-ball staff are happy to suggest and advise. Although we’re tempted by the big, beautiful cakes, hearty sandwiches and cold lunch platters, it’s the cream teas and pots of tea that keep us coming back. On sunny days, bag a table outside for a languorous afternoon clinking china and savouring the brew.

Great food - and of course superb tea selection - and top customer service!
Their coffee is superb too - I travel from Ealing just for coffee, though parking can be a mission at times!
Wonderful place in a beautiful London village. I visit three times a week. Great for meeting friends and it's very child friendly.
I will travel miles for tea here and also to buy my teas. The choice and quality are outstanding!
