Lovely little tea shop/cafe. Found by chance this morning and the full English breakfast was very tasty, obviously all fresh produce used and very well presented. Coffee tasted very good too and the cakes looked amazing. Would definately recommend and will be returning. Staff worked hard and all very pleasant. Refreshing!!!

Cute little place and nice breakfast. Odd way to get to, but worth the effort.
Had vegetarian breakfast, also lots of vegan choices. Good cooked really well and apparently afternoon tea is nice, too. Didn't get to try this time but would love to come back again.

These tea rooms used to be my favourite however the last 3 visits have not been great, very poor service and the food hasn't been great either, such a shame. Went for Xmas Dinner but definitely nothing like it used to be and the room was freezing, no heating on at all

Travelling on the A14 to my Son's in Essex used Goggle maps find a Cafe. Staff very welcoming and friendly, seated near a log burner with lovely views of rolling countryside. The breakfast menu had good choices, my wife had the full breakfast and I had Eggs Benedict with a twist. Both meals arrived in a timely manner, cooked fresh and good produce. The cafe appeared to be used by local people and was busy. Forget using Motorway service's when traveling long distance, if you can afford the time, go scenic.
