We came to Ely and stayed for a few days and one of the highlights we had was we visited Peacocks Tearoom. I ordered the Earl Grey tea and it was lovely, it was a loose tea that we could pour ourselves and it was a lovely break from the cold wintery weather. It is very popular here so if you're wanting a seat, come here early.

If you ever are around Ely, you must come to Peacocks Tearoom. A great place to enjoy a traditional English tea, surrounded by beautiful views of the Maltings. They offer a big selection of tea and the cakes are delicious! I love the lavender and polenta cake... The decoration, atmosphere, and friendly service make this place a must to visit with friends or family.

Overall good first experience of English afternoon tea. The whole setup was very sweet. However, as suspected, the cake was too sweet, and sandwich was too salty, which was probably my personal preference. Tea and the scone were great.

Very traditional tea room! Highly recommended. The selection of teas is very vast. Coffee, soda and soft drink is available too. Delicious scones, cakes and a brunch here is ideal.

☕️ A lovely and delightful tea room. A beautiful walk towards the tea room through a floral archway and courtyard and into the front door. we were escorted through little rooms all decorated with lots of plates and crockery and nick nacks. All the tables and chairs were unique and add lots of charm and nostalgia. 🫖A very extensive choice of different teas and other drinks. A blackboard stating the days specials. Service was delivered with a smile and food and drink was served in good time. Another thing that stands out is the noise. All the other patrons chittering and chattering adds a delightful atmosphere. will definitely be visiting again.

My favorite place in Ely and one of the best tearooms in Cambridgeshire in my opinion. Sandwiches are just how they should be, big, warm, crispy. It’s always a struggle to pick between them and the afternoon tea because the Peacocks’s scones are just a thing of beauty. Every time I visit, I feel welcomed. The tea selection is impressive. The place itself is so well decorated, it’s just fun to ‘explore’ different rooms and their vibe. It’s simple - I love the place, will be back for sure.

One of the most beautiful places Ive eaten. The gardens are lovely and I reccomend sitting outside. Their scones are delicious and I reccomend the fruit scone paired with the Mrs. Hudson tea. It was a wonderful breakfast. And the service is so kind and they have great suggestions!

Have visited Peacocks Tearoom lots and have enjoyed every visit. As usual the food was great and the service was excellent. Amazing selection of teas, coffees qnd drinks. Fair warning that its popular so expect to wait for a table particularly in the better weather months.

What a lovely place. Quaint, warm and welcoming. So many things to look at around the walls (decor). A few different rooms and not too cramped. Service was great. Very polite staff. Food was so good. Fresh and light. Soooo many teas to choose from. A tea for every taste. Loved it. Well worth a visit. Doesn’t cost an arm and a leg either. There is an outside seating area which I imagine would be a nice place to sit in the summer, when the shrubs and plants are leafy and green. There is also a little book stand just before the entrance to tea room. Will try to visit in the summer just to see the difference and to enjoy the tea rooms again
