Bygones in Newcastle-under-Lyme

We have been to Bygones a number of times in the past and the service is always brilliant. However during todays visit we felt that the service was just impeccable. Myself and my mum visited today as a special treat to celebrate the first week of my maternity leave. It was so lovely to spend time in a place where the staff were so happy, kind and attentive. We were served by a lovely gentleman whose name we cannot remember (sorry!) it was his first day but you would have never guessed. He made the visit extra special for myself and my mum and went above and beyond. There was also another gentleman who I recognise from previous visits who came over and had a lovely conversation with us too. It was so lovely that the staff took the time to make their customers feel so welcome. The food of course was amazing as always and arrived really promptly. Thank you to the staff, you made our day

Love it here good food friendly service, and there is a slimming friendly menu

One of the nicest tearooms in the area. I love the decor and vintage theme, which appeals to all ages.Great that the menus are under glass at the table and sanitizer at the door as you go in - you need to wait to be seated.We have always found the food to be of a high standard. The choices available are excellent (something for everyone); cakes and scones are delicious and the service from the front of house staff is brilliant.I would definitely suggest you make a visit and judge for yourself!

My family and i have been to this lovely tea room many times before, during and after the pandemic. Each visit we have received a warm friendly welcome and amazing food. The staff are lovely and the owner is only too happy to share knowledge of the collection of bygone items in the establishment. When we visited recently it was very busy and had to wait a while for our food which we didn’t mind as we enjoyed the surroundings and were happy that the tea room had made it through the last few years and remains open in a town where so many businesses have closed down. Please if you have not visited Bygones and are looking to have a light breakfast or lunch give this amazing little place a try 👍🏻

You can feel the atmosphere from when you step through the door. Great, friendly staff who are quick to serve you and help you out. We had the afternoon tea (pre order!) and it was an absolute delight. Everything from the scone, to the cake, to the pate was absolute perfection.

We came here for afternoon tea to celebrate my sister's birthday today and it was fabulous. The place is chock full of vintage memorabilia, which is set out really thoughtfully, and it has a great atmosphere.We all enjoyed everything we ate, the sandwiches were obviously fresh, as were the cakes and there was plenty of everything even for the gluten free option.The food, which is really great, was served by really fantastic staff. They were all friendly, engaging, and nothing was too much trouble. Truly lovely people to spend time around, they made the experience feel really special.We will definitely be back for afternoon tea and their menu really does boast a lot of choice so I will be keen to go back and try some of their other offerings also. If you love an afternoon tea, then this really is faultless. It says "Come in, we're awesome!" on their door sign, and they most certainly are!

Absolutely had a fantastic day as das and his team excelled themselves after hosting our wedding breakfast , good time had by all .Really looked after us thankyou so much .

First time visiting Keele. Found this lovely little tea room in 1950s style. Adored the high ceilings and collection of 1950s memorabilia. The music fitted perfectly with the environment.We had the afternoon tea, which was deliciously filling. The cake was so tasty I bought extra to take home 😋. Wonderful selection of freshly baked cakes 🍰.Service was excellent too. The staff were all very friendly and helpful ⭐

Been here twice before for Brunch and fancied trying Afternoon Tea. Went for the £20 per person option and took my cousin. Absolutely gorgeous afternoon, plenty of food, all freshly prepared and plenty of tea to drink. Good ratio of savoury and sweet. I can't eat milk chocolate and they were very accommodating, swapping it for white chocolate. Staff were very attentive and gave us boxes to bring home what we couldn't manage to eat. Would definitely recommend.

My friend took me for my birthday. I’ve never been before. But would definitely recommend to anyone. The food is delicious. The staff are so friendly and helpful Really lovely place full of memorabilia. Happy days. If it were possible I would give 6 + stars.Thank you so much
