Shepherds Hall Tea Rooms Lealholm

We were staying locally and had heard good reports of Shepherds Hall so we thought we'd pop in and give it a try. So pleased we did. Everything was as good as we'd been led to believe. ( actually in all honesty it was better than that ) Shortly after eating there, I noticed an immediate increase in my popularity, my dress sense improved and the next day I won the lottery! How they manage that with just a ploughman's is nothing short of a miracle. I can't say the same will happen to you but isn't it worth a go? Great place, great people, thank you.

We first found this lovely cafe last year shortly after the new owners moved in and enjoyed it so much we returned this year to see how they are doing. I had a lovely home made quiche with salad which was large and tasty. My wife had a scone with cream and jam. Glad they are doing well and hope to return another year. Recommend this cafe and this village for a visit.

Wondering where we could get refreshment on a rainy Saturday afternoon and the tea room came to mind. Owned by the lovely Ellie, Sarah and Paul, these 3 really work hard alongside there staff to make customers welcome. We had broccoli and Stilton soup which was so tasty I didn’t stop to get a picture of it. Beautifully presented and really tasty with fresh fluffy bread! My partner is GF but that wasn’t an issue as they got him a gluten free bun to enjoy with his. The hot chocolates with cream, marshmallows and a flake! where luxury after a damp cold morning. We finished off with sticky toffee pudding and custard. Real comfort food on a day like today. A beautiful environment with so much to look at. Classic well present wholesome food and great company. They couldn’t do enough for us.

2021 5 star: Good service, good food. Would recommended. 2022 Update 4 star : The service is a little slower but seemed to be busy. The menu is slightly reduced and at they time, they had some items unavailable. Some deserts were not home made anymore, but this is understandable if there are less people coming through. The staff were really friendly and helpful. There was a good atmosphere.
