The Pear Tree Creperie

Recently, I came across this Midlands gem @thepeartreecreperie located just outside of Lichfield at @heartofthecountryvillage and decided to make this a Friday afternoon treat to myself ❤️ This! Was probably one of the best things I've eaten in a while. It's called a Galette - buckwheat flour savoury pancakes - loaded with salad, bacon, mushrooms, and goat's cheese. Heaven 😭😍 As their name may give away, they are also an excellent place for crepes.

You really can't go wrong with crepes. They're a fairly neutral taste and you just order the food you really like and that's it. You get handed a little packet of gastronomic delight. Your favourite food, put in a little servíng device. Mine was a sweet one, all maple-y and sugary. Could just as easily have been eggs and bacon, which I'm sure would have been just as delicious. However, the genius move here is the serving hatch. They didn't seem to have it open when I was there (It was fairly windy mind) but it must make them a fortune. You see, in people's minds there's a commitment, a positive action and a whole sequence of etiquette when you walk into a restaurant. It's not often an impulse action. There must have been thousands of folk who "Nearly" bought a crepe, but couldn't be bothered with the whole restaurant thing. But with a hatch, it's like buying a Twix from the corner shop. Walking round the village, brain says "Blood glucose a bit low........Sugar and carbs over there" and you say a few words to the lass stood in the window and in two minutes you have the answer to all your problems in your hand - Easy,.........And wonderful!!!

It is a very lovely place. We have been coming here for years and the food is always great. Service is fantastic and it is a lovely place to eat in. Also the Cider is amazing. Will be definitely coming here again and will keep on bringing my friends here too. Although I do like it for dates with my wife alone too 😁

We come here fairly regularly and I always look forward to it! The staff are lovely and the food is great. Both the savoury galettes and sweet crepes are really yummy and nicely presented, with lots of choice, and the truffle fries and spicy mayo are really good. They often have specials as well; the cheesy fries with Toulouse sausage that they're doing at the moment are amazing comfort food. It is worth booking as it does get busy, and you'll want to specify a downstairs table if you have any mobility issues.

Can't comment on food as just had coffee. Staff were absolutely lovely. Attentive and smiling the whole time. We hadn't booked and quite a few tables were reserved and this was on a Wednesday so I would advise to pre book. We were seated on a reserved table but just had to be gone by the time of the reservation which was fine. Didn't use the facilities. Coffee nice. Decor lovely. Would visit again.

Called in for a cup of tea whilst on the road... Ended up with a rhubarb crumble crêpe which was incredible! Staff were very friendly and accommodating, it was early and no one else about but still, we had similar friendly service at Christmas when we last visited and they were very busy then! (Mine was a take out hence the box in the photo) And most importantly they listen to how you'd like your tea and make it accordingly - so many places make awful tea, it is always welcomed to find somewhere who make it properly!
