The only negative is trying to park!But everything else here gets top marks.. Vintage Afternoon Tea was great, lots of choice, with sandwiches freshly made, cakes were superb, as were the scones with plenty of cream and jamReally good, polite service as well - no hesitation with 5 stars(pity about tea bags, but that's just me being picky)

I went in for brunch. The service was awful and took over an hour to come!!! The food was not cooked properly and really sloppy. Worst place I have eaten in by a country mile and I would avoid at all cost. Also they did not have half the food on the menu available. Feel really sorry for Eynsford folk as it’s a lovely place and this cafe needs replacing to keep up with other wonderful establishments the village has!!

Advertises it has outdoor space and that you can make reservation via email. Neither of these things are true. Made reservation via email, turned up and the staff said they never check it. Also they don't have outside space anymore. Left feeling hungry, disappointed and a little misled. Staff were nice.

A beautiful tea room, in a charming location.Unfortunately, on the day we visited it, after being seated we spent the first twenty minutes being ignored and not sure whether we’d accidentally turned invisible, as we watched the staff deliver the wrong food to the wrong table, ignore other tables which left without being offered a drink and overheard complaints.The perplexed young staff, all wandering about in confusion, gave it the vibe of a Disney movie in which a sudden tragedy bequeaths a cafe business to a group of youngsters at short notice (and with hilarious results). From their harassed expressions, it looked as if they had all undergone some sort of ritualistic spinning by the shoulders on their feet for several minutes before starting work, finally being released to stagger dizzily about in front of the customers. Our fellow diners also apparently waiting without being served (or without being served correctly) were muttering and frowning like theatre goers who had paid for Shakespeare but realised they were watching modern dance.We waited 25 minutes before being offered a drink. The food was excellent when it arrived. But my puppy was an adult dog by the time we had been served it.

Full English (plus mushrooms). Excellent, good quality sausage, thick cut smokey bacon, fried egg, tomato and beans. Really enjoyed it and washed down with a pot of tea. Happily recommend, but suggest you book a table at busy times.

Lovely little place that's nicely decorated. I stopped by for a spot of lunch. The smoked salmon and poached eggs were excellent. I would recommend a visit.Something the staff may not be aware of running around in the kitchen, was that it was a bit chilly in the seating area.

Absolutely incredible tucked away tea toom. Beautiful food. Liz who ran the tea room was most helpful, super kind and nothing was too much effort. 100% reccomend for afternoon tea or a cosy lunch after a cold walk!! Definitely be going back.

I never went in... my wife did. I stood outside and waited for her. We had been on a long country walk talking about lord knows what.... and she said "did I want a tea?", so I said "yes", so she went in a ordered 2 teas.I gave this place 5 stars, but I have no idea how good it is. The tea was fantastic, but to be honest, anyone can make tea (my teenage son can make tea and he is braindead). So maybe go and check it out for yourself?

Had a lovely afternoon tea with work colleagues. Friendly staff and good service. Great location opposite the river too. Would definitely recommend.

By far one of the best afternoon teas we’ve had. There’s nothing bad to say about the food - all made fresh, lovely staff. The only thing that would have been nice is to have someone come over and see if everything was ok ect - but it’s not even a complaint because they were all busy doing other things and it was a busy Saturday afternoon. Amazing place, if you get the opportunity you should go - photos are out afternoon tea - we had the full vintage afternoon tea. Amazing
