Sweet little tea room, daughter loved it. Enjoyed a lovely walk after. It’s a great day out. Great, friendly service. My only complaint is the parking which I am told is not the tearoom’s responsibility.

Beautiful place to visit, best toasties,I've ever eaten,and such a tranquil place to be, I love it here, its dog friendly too inside and out,and it's open all year round. They have great helpful staff,they always seem buzy cleaning tables and bringing food out, They also do little boat trips across the bridge, you can't use the tearooms car park though,I'm not sure where the car park is for that,I assume not far away.

Stopped at Papermill lock after a Sunday morning walk unfortunately the cafe was closed as it was a bit too early, but I hear the food is good. Charming scenery.

Beautiful surroundings on the river and free parking for customers. All sandwiches are £7 but there is a wide range of toasties. Lovely stop

Stopped at Paper Mill Lock for refreshments on a hot day walking/hiking a 8 mile circular route. There are picnic tables and benches you can sit on outside, but they are only available to customers. The cakes slices are MASSIVE 😁

Great selection of sandwiches (albeit expensive) and cake in a beautiful location alongside the canal, it does get busy during the summer but plenty of seating available and food is brought to your table, the only issue is parking with a £5 parking charge however on road parking can be found on the other side of the bridge but some sections of the road have double yellow lines and on my visit some cars had received a parking ticket so be careful or it could be an expensive day out

Visited here with some friends over the weekend, and I must say I can't believe I haven't been here before. What a beautiful location overlooking the Lock while enjoying some afternoon tea and cake definitely recommend.

Nice views of canal from inside dining area and there's plenty of tables outside too. Food very nice, very basic furnishings, chairs quite hard. Varied choice on menu.
