I have visited this restaurant twice now and have not been disappointed on either occasion. This quirky slice of nostalgia has something for everyone, with beautiful traditional tea rooms adorned with numerous 1940s antiques. Guests can enjoy traditional tea or coffee, along with a selection of homemade cakes and scones, all served in delicate china cups and saucers. The walls are decorated with posters depicting scenes from wartime years, preserved in protective cases for guests to peruse while they wait for their service. The collection of antiques is extensive, featuring items such as a 1940s motorcycle displayed proudly in the window and available for purchase, as well as facsimiles of w...
Been here twice now and on both occasions it hasn’t disappointed. There’s something for everyone in this quirky slice of nostalgia with it’s wonderful traditional tea rooms set amongst numerous 40’s antiques. Traditional tea or coffee and an assortment of home made cakes and scones are served in china cups and saucers with plates to match! Even the placemats are worth examining as each one is a newspaper of those wartime years contained in a protective sleeve bu available to read whilst you await service. Antiques are numerous and varied from a 1940’s motorcycle sitting proudly in the window and available for purchase to facsimiles of wartime ration books and posters. In addition, there is a...
Comfortable surroundings and friendly staff, limited menu (limited only by the type of licence granted by the council rather than the owners' wishes: delicious home-baked cakes and scones together with tea and coffee, all served on quality china crockery). Only a few tables inside at...present but additional seating is available outside, weather permitting. Antiques and collectibles also for sale in the shop, but best of all no smell of stale cooking fat as found in most coffee shops in the village. Free refills with tea and coffee, too!
This is a new tea shop with a difference, it is an antique shop as well as a tea shop. When you enter it appears there are only three tables but in fact there are more tables in the counter area as well as a...lovely patio area. The homemade cakes were wonderful and tea for one had two teabags, so a quick stir and you had a lovely strong cup of tea, with top up. The atmosphere is world war two, with the waitresses dress as land girls. The cost for a couple was really reasonable. Will certainly be returning.

A group of friends recommended this charming find to me. Filled with nostalgia, the restaurant's antiques were beautifully showcased. The homemade cakes were a delight, especially the delicious Victoria sponge. I loved sitting in the lovely courtyard garden, listening to the chirping parakeets in the aviary. This restaurant is definitely on my 'must visit again' list. And let's not forget the quirky coffee pot - a fun little touch!
My partner and I took mum here after remembrance service, surprised no one in although the scouts laid on teas and coffees. It was fantastic with all the Second World War artefacts and old newspaper cutttings from the period as place mats. It was fascinating...reading these. The coffee was excellent as was the homemade cake. I urge all in irthlingborough to go and avoid your costa coffees! Mum loved it!
Some friends suggested this hidden gem to me. It is filled with nostalgia, with beautiful antiques on display. The selection of homemade cakes is amazing, especially the delicious Victoria sponge. We enjoyed sitting in the lovely courtyard garden, listening to the parakeets chirping away in the trees. I definitely need to go back soon. I also loved the quirky coffee pot!

I visited this charming cafe today with my parents and daughter, and it was absolutely lovely. I adore vintage aesthetics, so it was a perfect fit for me.
