I booked for Mother’s Day and came here with my parents for Afternoon Tea. Needless to say we were all seriously impressed with every aspect. The atmosphere was really lovely and the staff were kind, knowledgable and attentive. The afternoon tea itself was really tasty and,looking at some of the other options on their menu come to other tables such as the soups and roast dinner, is definitely the place you could visit over and over. I am Coeliac and was perfectly prepared to not have afternoon tea with my parents and pick something else. I was very impressed and surprised that they had a full gluten free afternoon tea, which was really amazing, and multiple other options to choose from. Overall a great experience for Mother’s Day or for any other occasion and we will certainly be back.
A lovely dainty little cafe in Glastonbury high street. We loved it here and the service was great and very quick! The sandwiches were gorgeous and so were the scones - highly recommend! Also they have a big selection of cakes and the Heck’s apple juice is lovely. This little place is worth a try if you need a bite to eat after looking through all the shops in town or just on a general day out 😊
Abbey Tea Rooms was really popular and deservedly so. With all the uniqueness of Glastonbury it was refreshing to find a traditional tea room. A good selection on the menu. Dog friendly. Staff were busy but still happy, helpful and friendly. Worth visiting just for the homemade scones. Would eat here again.
So lovely very friendly staff. And dog friendly really spoilt our dog. The food was amazing and all home cooked very good prices for a very good meal. Very clean all round. And the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. If we are back this way will visit again. To the staff if you read this thank you very much for a lovely meal.
We had the Sunday lunch and were very impressed. Service was bang on, portion sizes were perfect, and beautifully prepared. We had the lamb and chicken main course and both were amazing. The dessert choice was amazing and had that "home prepared" feel to it. Recommend the Ginger Sponge & Clotted Cream, and the Fruit Meringue nest 😃 …
We have been here a few times already, and we will keep coming back everytime we visit glastombury. The staff is really friendly and attentive, the place looks like is frozen in time, I love the decorations and furniture. The afternoon tea is amazing and their scones, one of the best I've ever tried. Lunch options are not many but always delicious... we have so far tried the shepperds pie ( amazing) and the roast pork. The desserts, if you still have space for it, are also really good, the sticky toffee pudsing is to die for. Highly recommended. Although on high season make sure you book in advance.
Went to Abby tea rooms for my sisters birthday. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Scones were very nice, and you can get more than one cup of tea from your teapot😁. Lovely time was had by all.
Cool, calm atmosphere on a very hot day. We stopped in for an afternoon tea, with sandwiches & cream tea scones, very nice food. The waitress was friendly and asked whether we needed some water with ice as soon as we sat down, which was lovely of her.
Lovely old fashioned tea room with DELICIOUS light, warm scones. Also serve coffee with the option of plant milk and also have a vegan cake option. Warm welcome and continuous friendly service throughout. Really nice vibe, like going back in time with the florals and chintz.
Very cozy, service was nice. The scone, clotted cream and jam was a must have. Reasonably priced and parking was decent. Quiet atmosphere.
