We booked a table with Penny for 8 for a celebration. One of the party had multiple dietary restrictions; diary, gluten, spices, wheat etc
The food was absolutely amazing, taste, texture, presentation. Everything was fresh, nothing was dry and tasted devine. My mum had never had such a lovely cream tea which she could eat! The thought that went into her cream tea was clearly visible which isn't always the case with dietry restrictions. Really good value. Would highly recommend. Thanks Penny!
Super cute place in the countryside, Penny and her mum are so lovely and always make us feel welcome! There's always some vegan and gluten free options too, and a covered seating area to enjoy your cakes and coffee.
My wife and i had afternoon tea at Pantry 61 today, as part of my Fathers day present from mu daughter Laura. The cakes were delicious, the setting was very peaceful, non rushed, and the staff who were Mum and Daugher were lovely, and made you feel very welcome. I would reccommend Pantry 61 to anyone looking for something a bit different and service with a smile.We will definitely be back. See you Soon.

Always love visiting here to get treats for the family. Penny & her mum always make you welcome & relish you looking round at other items that they sell. The cakes & desserts are made fresh daily & they never disappoint, the variety is always amazing & they like feedback from customers as to what they would like to see in the shop, you can also order cakes & desserts in advance for special occasions.
Great little gem! Definitely worth a visit for a cake or two! Pantry 61 is all home made, can make celebration cakes or cakes to order with notice. Highly recommended to anyone wanting a good dessert!
Had a chocolate fudge cake made for my wifes birthday. It was really moist, tasted great and incredible value. Highly recommend.
Had a cake made for my parents golden wedding anniversary. Would just like to say how lovey it was. It went down a treat with all the party guests . Thank you so much Penny.

I am a regular visitor, always a delicious coffee and, I am sure, having tried so many versions over the years, the best millionaire shortbread in the world!!!. A lovely, quiet stop-off in their garden area . I live locally and a short walk away . Excellent cakes and two lovely people to serve you . Thank you.
Today our son and his wife celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary, problem, daughter-in-law is gluten free. For Pantry 61 no problem, made us a superb gluten free sponge cake, which all the family thought delicious. Also suggest you try the tea cakes. Bought a selection with the anniversary cake, and my were they great, went down a treat with the family. Our thanks to all at Pantry 61, made our day.
Superb cakes. I tried cakes from here while at my Granddaughter's and could not believe how good they were. So, the next time I was down that way I dropped in on my way home . The lady serving was so lovely, very polite and helpful. So far I have tried there Millionaires Shortcake (fantastic) the Chocolate Brownies (best I've tried), Raspberry ripple cheesecake (Superb). Basically this is the place to go for CAKE!!
