The Tearoom at Kiftsgate is run by Marguerite Bell and her husband David. Marguerite has developed a keen following of loyal garden visitors who come as much for her tea as for the delights of the garden. And no wonder: All the cakes are home-made and include Lemon Drizzle Cake, Coffee Cake and around Easter time a rich traditional Simnel Cake.

Enjoy a cream tea at anytime with freshly made scones, clotted cream and jam.

Coeliacs are catered for with a delicious gluten free fruitcake.

There is also a selection of cookies and tray bakes for you to choose from.

The tearoom is open throughout the season and serves a wide selection of Teas, Rombouts Coffee, Cadbury’s Hot Chocolate and a variety of drinks and Ice Creams until 5pm.

Lunches are served during May, June and July until 2pm.

A typical selection might be:

• Home-made Vegetable Soup

• Ploughman’s Lunch (a traditional platter of Ham, Pate or Cheese served with bread, a salad garnish and home-made pickles and chutneys).

• Salad Buffet. Choose from a variety of cold meats, fish, cheeses or vegetable tart and then help yourself from the buffet of fresh salads with roll and butter.
