Penningtons in South Holland

We call in almost every time we are in town. It's good coffee in comfortable surroundings. We haven't eaten often but what we've had has been good.

Unfortunately the afternoon tea served at this tea room was very disappointing. Apart from the fruit scones and sandwiches, everything else was mediocre. The Victoria sponge looked very unappetising and tasted even worse. The cupcake tasted like something made in a factory. The staff were nice and the service was good but the food was a complete disaster. A real shame because the space is nice and the location of the shop is perfect. We might go there again but only for tea and scones.

Nice staff, the food was lovely 😍

Lovely light lunch menu and delicious home made cakes.

I often visited this beautiful little coffee/gift shop before lockdown and would ofter order their delicious warm cheese scone with butter and cream cheese, called in a couple of day's ago as I was in the area and ordered the same only to find that the scone was now cold and the cheese was a small lump of cheese in a plastic packet with a knife that wasn't sharp enough to slice it! Scones are definitely better served warm as it takes the dryness out of them!! Coffee was lovely, I had a flat white but this time it didn't come with the delightful little piece of shortbread which I loved but a biscotti biscuit which is nice but not quite the same. Staff did not interact with any customers while I was in there not even to ask if everything was OK? Gift shop is lovely and so is the florists that I entered through where I was greeted very pleasantly. I know covid has changed the way restaurants etc have to work but I'm sure a little pot of cream cheese and a piece of homemade shordbread isn't that much to ask!! Please keep this coffee shop the great little place I remembered it to be.

Lovely surroundings, good coffee, great cakes and food. Friendly staff.

Excellent little cafe and shop. Very friendly service and nice food.

Delicious afternoon tea, lovely friendly staff.

Kindly extended a Birthday 'Afternoon tea for 2'. Nice food served and plenty of it. The only negative thing I say was that it was a little cold in there, due to having the doors open (I realise that this was a neccessary thing due to Covid). Would definitely go back.

We popped in today for a quick lunch after a trip into Spalding. It was our first visit to this little gem, and we were delighted. The decor is whimsical with teacups and tiny colourful birds hanging from the ceiling. The food was good and the service prompt. We had a panini and a jacket potato, both of which we tasty and filling. All in all a lovely interlude, and we will definitely visit again, next time to sample the gorgeous looking cakes!
