Having lived in the surrounding area my whole life and stumbled across this adorable tea room today. What a hidden gem. Owned by the loveliest lady, comes homemade treats and cakes, afternoon tea was a dream. I've seen this shop a few times before but would never have expected the inside to have been quite so lovely. Perfect place for some good homemade treats & lovely hot drinks. Parking near the CO-OP too! A must visit if you're near Ruddington. ��
What a hidden gem! By far the best afternoon tea we've ever had! (And we've had a few)
The attention to detail and passion that Lesley and her family puts in really shows. Not only did we get delicious finger sandwiches and freshly made scones but beautiful miniture cakes and an Eton mess to die for. If that wasn't enough,we were treated to homemade coleslaw, crisps, cumber & onion pickle and a mini prawn cocktail and greek salad.Can't recommend this place enough! Great food, great service, great place. We will certainly be back soon! Thanks again.
Myself and my two friends visited here yesterday for a pre birthday treat and we were very impressed, the place was well presented and very clean/inviting. We had the 'high tea, the sandwiches/scones/cake were fresh and made to order. The lady who served us was called Lesley, she was very friendly. Best to book a table if you like to stay for a chat as about 130pm it became busy and as it is a small place the seats were getting taken quickly (no complaints though) would 100% recommend this to anyone. They have a variety on the menu even if you fancy a cuppa :) will be revisiting!
My husband & I enjoyed the valentine high tea today. It did not disappoint! It was delicious! And excellent value for money. The staff are lovely & friendly & the environment is warm & welcoming. We will absolutely be back & would definitely recommend. The perfect way to enjoy our wedding anniversary today - thank you again Ladies xx
(PS The piece of cake we took home for our little boy "is the best cake ever!" By the way lol xx)
The best egg mayonnaise sandwiches, best cheese scones with cream cheese & onion chutney I have ever had. Then to top it off raspberry cheesecake, fabulous service thank you � ladies x x
Went to ruddington today shopping and ended up here x
Myself and my sister had scone and coffee, it was absolutely delicious � I had a lemon scone with lemon curd and clotted cream! My taste buds are still dancing �
Beautiful ��
I love this tearoom, whether I'm meeting up with friends, taking my children or popping there in the morning for a takeaway cob and cuppa. The menu is tasty and varied, the staff are friendly and extremely patient with children and it's just generally a fab place to have in our village.
An amazing tea room and wonderful staff. My girlfriend's family used Lesley and her team last year for her Father's funeral catering. They brought all their china crockery to use and the food was all home made and awesome.
We would highly recommend
I've been visiting the Old Bakehouse for the last 7 years for an end of the week treat for my daughter throughout infant and junior school. We are always made to feel extremely welcome and always leave with a full stomach and a smile. I've just been for a splendid afternoon tea with some friends and it was indeed splendid! Incredibly good value. Thank you Lesley, you're a star xxx
I visited the tea rooms today as a treat for my mums birthday! Absolutely stunning, everything was delicious and obviously home made and as fresh as they come. They even catered for my 4 year old who was delighted with hers too! Highly recommend - can't wait to come back xxx
My husband treated me to afternoon tea for my birthday. Wonderful food and great staff. Thank you to you all xx
Just been to the old bakehouse tea room for afternoon tea it was beautiful the best ive ever had staff were lovely would recommend to everyone will definitely be coming back again x
Visited today for my mums birthday for afternoon tea with my 13 month old daughter and it was lovely! My daughter even got her own afternoon tea. Very child friendly and so accommodating to our needs with a little one. Friendly staff, fabulous food and very comfortable surroundings. Would highly recommend
Lovely afternoon tea with friends today. It really was yummy and I took some flapjack home for my other half and he said it’s the best he has ever eaten! Made to feel very welcome. Thank you and will see you again soon.
It was great food and great service highly recommend it
Lovely breakfast after #Parkrun this morning. Staff always lovely and friendly �
Went for afternoon tea today with my husband. Absolutely beautiful spread that not only looked fantastic but tasted fantastic too. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.
It's the old Horspools bakery.
The staff were very helpful and the quality of the food was very good.
Our pananies were piping hot with a small salad, and small coleslaw. It would have been nice if there was a little more salad. The quantity did seem a little on the tight side.
Decafe tea excellent.
There are toilet facilities which were clean and well looked after.
One star docked as the service took a long time considering it was quite, and the place lacks an atmosphere. It needs pictures, plants and decoration to make it less stark.
Will try the breakfast if we go again.
Its a friendly café with plenty of regulars.
We went here whilst visiting Rushcliffe Country Park and we were not disappointed. A very clean Tea Room with friendly service. We had a cooked breakfast with another in our party a Tuna and sweetcorn sandwich. (Lovely thick and tasty bread).
I love my tea so was very happy with my very big pot all to myself.
Each of us used the convenience and that was spotless also.
The cakes looked great but with a walk in front of us we had to resist.
So if you are anywhere near the Country Park, treat yourself to this lovely gem of a place just a short walk away.
The bonus being it was affordable and we will return again when we are next in the area.
Well done to the staff. 👍🫶🏽
Lovely cafe, so cheap but quality produce. I will definitely be back. I don't know anywhere you could get an omelette with two fillings and a pot of tea for £6.80 !! Friendly staff and food made to order, I only wish I lived nearer.
Take a nostalgic trip to yesteryear to an country village, steeped in history, complete with a church with a steeple, a Georgian manor house and quaint little shops. When you have finished strolling through the country park why not take a well earned tea break in The Old Bakehouse Tea Room where you can sit in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere and enjoy excellent home made food and hot drinks all served with a smile.
The food was fantastic and the service was excellent, you can even take the dog with you. Perfect place for lunch or just a quick coffee and cake, I especially like the Victoria sponge
Lovely little tea room. Delicious coffee, and a selection of cakes. Nice sandwiches, toasties and paninis to choose from. Friendly staff.
This is a lovely little cafe with a fantastic ambiance. The menu is really good and typical of what you'd find in a tearoom like this.
The prices are good and reasonable and the quality of the food and drink is excellent making this tearoom really good value for money!
Although there is no car park; there are plenty of spaces on the surrounding streets and getting a spot is incredibly easy.
The staff are very friendly and engage in conversation.
All in all a lovely place to stop off and have a bite to eat and a drink!
Great service..fresh tasty food. Nothing is ever too much for staff...service with a smile & a cake! Great plave for family, friends or even some quiet time...best cornflake tart ever! 1o/10
Under new management since Sept 2021, the new proprietor Eve is pleasant and friendly. She bakes her own cakes and scones and runs the place with quiet efficiency. We had afternoon tea and the home-made scones were lovely. Highly recommend the place. Very nice atmosphere, good service and lovely location. Easy parking nearby and a beautiful historic church just steps away
Best cafe/tearoom in ruddington
