Bide A While Country Tea Room

Went with a group of 10 men, from our shed , and we were served right royally. Had a substantial tasty home made brunch. Made on the spot and served with a smile. Can`t wait to go back,

We visited for a family luncheon and had booked the cabin which is situated in the adjoining garden area of the tea room. There were 10 of us and we all had a wonderful experience. It was very cold and wet outside but inside the cabin was very warm and cosy. When we arrived the log burner was lit and the cabin was very warm, a problem easily rectified by opening the door to allow it to cool a little. We were going to be tied to time so we pre booked both our tables and our food. Sharon had sent the menu a few days in advance as requested by me and we had all chosen our meals. The Christmas specials were an excellent choice. Baked potato with turkey, ham, stuffing and salad, or a festive toasted sandwich teamed up with the most delicious cranberry sauce. The service was fabulous with Sharon and her team attending to every detail. We had ordered a whole Tipsy Chocolate Orange cake and it went down a treat. Despite the rain and cold we felt warm and very well cared for. If you’re looking for something a little bit different, friendly and genuinely tasty home cooked food, you will not get any better than Bide a While. You can taste the quality in the food and Sharon only serves food cooked from wholesome ingredients made by herself or her chef.

A beautiful tea room and great friendly service. Though they managed to cater for me gluten and dairy free and not meat eater, the choice for me was ver limited. The menu was neat dominated. So I was very disappointed. Similarly for dessert, because of my intolerances in gluten AND dairy, it was only meringues and strawberry. There are huge choices now around with intolerances and I was disappointed to experience such a beautiful place was so limiting for me. We were a party of 5. The other person who was vegetarian found it limiting in choice but the two meat eaters were very satisfied. Service was friendly and efficient. I would love to make it a frequent gaunt but I feel the menu would have to offer more choices

Went with friends for a lunch after hearing great reviews about this place. We were certainly glad we made it here as the food was delicious and the staff very helpful and attentive. One person in our group had special dietary requirements (gluten and dairy intolerant) but this wasn’t a problem as they were able to adapt dishes to suit. Will definitely be back again

Very impressed with this lovely tea room, highly recommended if you like good quality food, especially the wheaten bread, lovely decor and very friendly service. Will definitely be back .
