Delicious tea. Soup of the day was hot and fresh. Egg mayo sandwich had a bit more mayo than I like but still delicious flavors and bread.

What a simply gorgeous place. Amazing little find. Thoroughly enjoyed my all but brief visit, and will certainly be back. Loved it. Tried posting photos of my gorgeous hot chocolate and scummy scone, but didn't seem to work. You'll have to trust me, guys - they were the most amazing!

What a joyous find! Absolutely gorgeous tea shop. I sat in the garden and was given a bell to call for attention - it wasn't needed as the service was superb. I had a tuna sandwich and a pot of tea. The menu said 'Ration Menu' but there's no rationing here, fabulously fresh ingredients, generous filling and butter you could taste! I was offered cakes or scones so politely I felt dreadful to decline. I saw soup served in enamel 1940's style bowls, and fat scones arriving for cream teas with a strawberry garnish dusted with icing sugar - just gorgeous, why the hell did I say no?! The afternoon tea menu all sounds delicious. It was my first time in Herne Bay, but I'll be back for tea and scones as soon as I can.

Fantastic little WW2-themed tea room on Herne Bay high street. Simple but lovely fare on the "Rations menu". Well worth a visit. It gets busy at lunch but you can book a table if you know you're going to be arriving then.

Stumbled upon this little gem this morning. Super pleasant staff, our food was lovely and it is so quaint with lots of little vintage items of interest.I didn't have any but they had a beautiful selection of cakes too.I did go with my toddler and her drink was served in a heavy glass, so bring your own drinking cup for little ones.

I try to call them by type talk for the deaf. They said they don’t have time for this and hang up and ring again. Typetalk explain it for the deaf. They hang up. My wife goes there few times as now never again. Their lost.

The festive cream tea is fantastic! Home made scone with Christmas spices was delicious. And more were being baked because they'd all gone.

40's Tearoom Perfection! The Churchill High Tea is amazing quality. Lovely, friendly staff, great period music and decor.

Honestly the most amazing experience. We went twice on our stay in Herne Bay!! The scones were the best I had ever tasted. Everything is homemade and fresh. The ladies are so helpful and lovely and the tea room is dog friendly which is a bonus! We can’t wait to come back. Xxx

What a beautiful bijoux cafe. In the theme of wwii Britain. Very tasty victoria sponge amongst many other treats. Staff here are lovely and very accommodating for myself, wife, daughter and 6 month old grandson. Definitely coming back to try the Scotch egg special. Great value. Thanks VE
