Coming to the Blitz is always an amazing experience. Service is impeccable - Adam always greets us with a smile and also takes time to chat to you makes sure you are comfortable and having a nice time. Food is always delicious! We had the giant jacket potatoes this visit and its creamy and sweet and definitely will fill you up. This is a must go to place when you come to town.

Booked a table in advance and the gentleman we spoke with was really nice. Arrived and was amazed at the whole atmosphere of the place... the decoration and the music teleports your mind into that era. The owners who greeted us were amazing too! They were so warm and welcoming that it will turn your day around (I had a bad morning and being at The Blitz completely changed my mood for tue day) We won a cream tea for 2 voucher and one of the owners explained to us what that entails and so attentive to you as well when they take your orders. We were quite hungry so we thought the scone will not be enough for us (boy! were we wrong-more on that later) so we ordered tuna & sweetcorn and coronation chicken sandwiches- the bread was so thick and they were not shy on the filling either! It was so fresh and delicious! We were quite content. Then it was time for the cream tea- and i was surprised by the size on the scone.. it was a struggle finishing it off. Don't get me wrong it was delicious! It was so tasty and if i wasnt so stuffed would have ordered another one.. they were generous on the cream and jam too! It was such an amazing visit and will definitely come back to town just for food here. Would highly recommend to everyone!

Service was incredible, The most wholesome tea shop in the uk. The amount of tiny details in the property and decoration from pictures to tea cups was outstanding and the coffee and scones were perfectly prepared. Alan and Clive were awesome!

Went today for a sandwich with my little girl. Staff are absolutely wonderful, they really made an effort to make everyone feel welcome! We each ordered a sandwich which were really well made and they cut my daughters in to little squares for her which was a lovely touch! She kept telling me how much she loved it. Tea was served in a beautiful tea pot with a lovely teacup. The decor was so interesting, it really is a lovely place!

We had a voucher for cream tea and decided to add some sandwiches for lunch too. The tea rooms are so nicely decorated. Being situated in an older building as well was like a real step back in time. The customer service was absolutely amazing by our two hosts. The food portions were plentiful, tastey and attention to detail was spot on. I would whole heartedly recommend the Blitz tearoom to anyone looking for a snack, lunch and generally great experience! We will definately be back, with friends and family too ❤

Hands down the service was superb! Just outstanding, and we didn’t have a reservation. They were so accommodating. The owners are about the nicest people and they lightened up our visit so much! The tea room itself is like a little history museum. So much to see and enjoy while you enjoy your cup of tea. They decorated the tea room with such a great taste of vintage stuff. We got cream tea and it was served very nice. By the way, they got so many cute tea sets!

A great place to visit and a great place to eat! The place really is like going back in time and is totally cool just to see. It should be used as a movie set! There are different themed rooms, all very cutely and classically decorated from furniture and decorations from that period of time. The staff are extremely nice, and the food was delicious. I really recommend in particular the cake deserts which were fabulous. When we entered, we were given a tour of the place which was worth it just for that experience, and it got better from there. I would really recommend visiting dining, or just having coffee and cake.
