A charming tea shop, full of character with its 17th-century flagstones, bare stone walls and open fireplace. In previous lives it was a pub, and a gentleman's outfitters kitting out the local farm workers. Despite these rustic surroundings, tea is served in silver teapots by uniformed waitresses, and accompanied by a tempting list of goodies: meringues filled with cream and strawberries, Yorkshire curd cheesecake, fruit tarts and scones might appear on the daily-changing menu. Savoury dishes include home-made steak pie with vegetables, and prices are reasonable. The upstairs Artison shop sells chinaware, glassware, prints and original paintings.
