What customers say?

“ Once Upon a Tea Room holds some of my most special memories! From my bridal shower last year to my baby shower this year, every experience has been unforgettable. My baby shower had the most perfect Mickey Mouse theme, complete with beautifully crafted Mickey-themed sweet treats that all my friends and family adored. The space is perfect for hosting a party—beautiful, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. The cakes are delicious, the food is always fresh, and the service makes you feel truly cared for. I’m so grateful for the amazing experiences I’ve had here. Highly recommend for any special occasion! Thank you Sophie ”

“ I originally booked online the 12.30pm slot for afternoon tea as I was travelling to Cheltenham for my mums birthday. I was unable to have this time due to a private hire. Sophie apologised and even offered to make my mum a separate little cake for her her birthday. We arrived today and were not disappointed. The food was fresh, very well made and tasted amazing. Sophie came out and spoke with us and even gave us the scones that didnt quite make the cut after baking along with the promised birthday cake. The only slight criticism I had was the menu. I picked this venue based on what the spring to winter menu was and the only thing that matched that was the egg sandwhich. Thankfully we liked everything and it tasted so good. Lovely tea room and amazing food. Thank you Sophie. ”

“ We had the most amazing takeaway afternoon tea! We took it to eat in the nearby park (we’re not local) and the lady that served us told us how to get there and another spot to go if it was busy. Absolutely delicious. 10/10 would come back again. ”
