The Old Thatch Tearooms

Beautiful pink fairy theamed cafe. I had afternoon tea here with my fiancee's mother and we both really enjoyed it. The place is decorated Beautifully and alot of effort has gone into it. I am a vegetarian and gluten free and they catered for me no problem. All their cakes are gluten free and their gluten free scones are to die for. You can tell everything is homemade and fresh and has that quality to it. Really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back. Oh bonus they are cash friendly so be sure to bring cash.

Wonderful tea shop with a period interior and magical fairy gardens at the back. The cream tea was the best on the island, we had fruit scones with clotted cream, jam and strawberries and topped it off with a pot of tea! The whole food experience was amazing. The fairy garden will appeal to all ages. The owner Pat is friendly and the service we received was exemplary. If you are on the island and want the best cream tea, then this place cannot be beaten.

We had booked in advance and our able was ready straight away. The staff apologized profusely for any delays as they had been very busy and were running behind, however we were happy to sit in the sunshine and wait our turn. The slight variations we made to our order did not cause any problems, and the service throughout was exemplary. We were astounded by the quality of the gluten free items which were also nut free; one of our party was able to partake of a full Victorian cream tea which she had not been able to eat for many years due to allergies. The staff was also diligent in ensuring the allergies were just with consumption and not airborne and made a point of saying they would be prepared separately to gluten items. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a traditional cream tea afternoon meal.

The cutest little tea shop! Perfect for afternoon tea. We loved the tea set! The homemade heart shaped scones were delicious with jam & cream. Sandwiches were also good. Victoria sponge was a little sweet but went well with the tea. There are three rooms - pink room, blue room and green room. The interior of the pink room was my favourite though we sat in the blue room. The garden was also lovely.

Charming setting and lovely cheerful service. They are great for Gluten free options and were fine with DF - the coronation chicken salad was really nicely spiced and presented. The afternoon tea selection is their specialty and we could see others enjoying theirs. The garden at the back is lovely with plenty of shade options.
