About The Gingerbread Tea House

Breakfast is the main event here — a full English at £9.50 with a pot of tea, cooked properly and plated with care, plus eggs Benedict people still talk about weeks later. Portions are generous enough that children can share, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options if you need them. Food arrives quickly without feeling rushed, which matters when someone's patience is running out. Buggy access works and there are outdoor tables in decent weather. The staff are warm and unflappable — one visitor described nothing being too much trouble. The ginger milkshake and the hot chocolates are worth ordering for the children. Parking is the snag: it's on a busy high street, so expect a lap or two round the block. Afternoon teas book up and are worth planning ahead for.
