Joe’s Review…

The Village Tea Rooms is the tea room that I have visited the longest, over 25 years and I would not return if I did not love the place, albeit under different owners.

The building is not built for tall people so if you are like me you may hit your head occasionally, and I still do after 25 years!

This tea room is really a lovely place and is added by the gift shop that sits inside the tea room - beautiful tea room with beautiful and unusual gifts.

The food is quite special with a good range of food on the menu. Scampi and chips I like, or the baguette with crispy bacon and cheddar cheese is really nice and tasty accompanied by a pot of tea of course!

Headcorn has some very nice little shops and The Village Tea Rooms sits nicely in the High Street. Outside tables are offered and the gift shop has been reduced over recent years to increase the table area inside, which has lost the homely gift shop appeal, sadly.

The staff are really nice and pleasant and always very welcoming.

STATUS

Of course, after 25 years of visiting a personal recommendation from me is a must. Please take a visit and enjoy this very lovely English Tea Room and you will surely not be disappointed.

UPDATED – 02 JUNE 2011

My wife Sandra and I revisited this tea room on Thursday 02 June 2011 and for the first time, we had to wait over 45 minutes before the meal arrived and part of it missing with no apologies from the waitress regarding Sandra’s missing food.

This is a lovely tea room that I have visited for over 28 years now, albeit with different owners. I hope this is a one off problem as it would be a shame if the service started to fall.

A new tea room is about to open in the same village, so customer care is essential!
