The Old Thatch Tearooms

the best afternoon on the isle of wight is and is still! we came and were quickly seen to our table, all booked for our family including grandparents and our 3 years old. all very happy and welcoming as soon as we thought, I loved the red rope to keep us almost like a red carpet on the door. the rooms are all beautifully furnished with old teekanistern, courts etc. not a dust in itself, so there is much love for the device! we all had the “Victoria afternoon tea”... wow every animal was faultless! the sandwiches were all beautiful and fresh! by no means on the quality of the ingredients! the victoria sponge cake was the best, yes the best! I have ever tasted! so light and tasty! the tee is a...

My sister and a friend went for a cream tea, we were greeted by the owner who was unfriendly and was not keen for us to sit outside even though there were tables free and people all ready outside.The table was wiped for us as...we insisted we’d like to sit outside.The cream tea arrived of which the scones we heated and as cooled were very dry.The tea was nice.As we went to leave and pay the owner was rude about the fact we could only pay by card and I tried to make polite comments only to get rude ones back.I did visit before leaving and was greeted by odd felt tip words over the walls which were dreadful! The chairs and table covers all need updating outside and less tacky fairies too! All...

Amazing setting with lovely friendly staff. Nice to see cream tea with different scones and jams for a change. I had rhubarb and apple scone with rhubarb and ginger jam. Really good flavours on the jam but struggled to pick up flavours in the scone...though. Scone was on the side of perfection for texture and moistness. Really good. Only niggle was the amount of jam and cream. This is a good value cream tea as they give you 2 scones, but the cream and jam portion was more suited to 1 scone. It meant you had too slim down to thinner coverings. Coffee was good flavoured and the Earl Grey tea lovely.

today stopped for a cream tea. it was packed, but the nice lady put us in, but we couldn't sit outside as it was full. curiosity I liked better, so I went for a pathfinder in the garden. the garden had mature plants around strategically placed with tables and chairs to give them some private sphere. at the end of the garden was feengarten, which was well decorated with feen of all shapes and sizes. the tee room is located in the old part of the city and is surrounded by covered huts. the creamtee was excellent and the host was very friendly. I will visit again

extremely quiet and surreal teeshop in shanklin. the server are very beautiful and susceptible to allergens we had. the opposite is a fantastic fantasy paradise when they are in feen! the food is freshly boiled and the skorn and cream are made in the house and therefore it is extremely fluffy and smooth! would recommend 5/5 if they are in shanklin for a cup tee

delicious Victorian tee, I added prosecco with mine. choose a kind of sandwich, then they get a simple skorn with jam and saw together with a piece of delicious victoria sponge. Eat was great, they have two high chairs. a toilet for all to use, only on the bottom is no changing facilities. the sweetest feen garden, with many things hanging in the trees.

Such lovely setting at the end of the Old Town Shanklin with a fairy garden. Have been three times over the past 2 years and every time the food and service is excellent. Try the bread pudding with clotted cream! Just like my gran used...to make. Excellent and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.
