Description

Donnys Tearoom has recently faced stark contrasts in guest experiences since its ownership change. While some diners lamented diminished food quality, dirty tables, and unresponsive service, others praised the warm atmosphere, excellent portion sizes, and accommodating staff. Customers reported mixed experiences, ranging from dissatisfaction with cleanliness and disorganized service to heartfelt compliments about attentive waitstaff and delicious meals. Despite some being disappointed, others found joy in fresh offerings and excellent service, making for a polarized reputation. Overall, it appears that the tearoom's charm may hinge on staffing and management, highlighting the need for consistent service and food quality to regain its former glory.

Such a friendly atmosphere and the staff have always been very polite. Love seeing a little village tea shop doing so well especially in these uncertain times.

My friend and I visited today for lunch. It was very busy and Sharon the lovely waitress was attentive, polite, friendly and busy as she was alone and doing everything. Our food was lovely and fresh. We would highly recomend Donnys Tearoom and would like to thank Sharon too.

We decided to give Donny's tea room a try, we had a lovely time and the food was fresh and enjoyable. The kids had their own afternoon tea which they had a choice of cake, the adults enjoyed a choice of sandwiches, scone and cake. The service was fantastic considering their was one lady serving but she ensured she greeted all the customers on arrival and explained she be with them. The price was reasonable and we would definitely recommend and return.

It appears that the restaurant has undergone a change in ownership, and the quality of food has significantly decreased. The tables were dirty, the chips were overcooked and inedible, and there was no salad served with lunch, despite being advertised on the menu. There was a 10-minute wait between orders, and it seems that the restaurant would benefit from hiring qualified staff in order to remain open.
