Small Talk Tearooms - Havering

I was very disappointed with the afternoon tea at this restaurant. The sandwiches were bland, consisting of egg mayo, cheese and pickle, and salmon fillings. The scones, although they looked nice, were very dry and difficult to swallow without a drink. The jam was served in a jar and the tea was cold. Despite these shortcomings, the tea room was lovely and the staff were nice. It's just a shame about the quality of the tea.

I cannot comment on the food as I did not even make it through the door. I tried calling earlier in the day, but there was no answer. The staff then informed me that they do not answer the phone because they are too busy. I was ignored while waiting for a table, and when I tried to get the staff's attention, I was rudely told that they were busy serving tables and we would have to wait. Unfortunately, I would not hurry back to this restaurant.

I have been to this restaurant before when it was always busy, but today it was quiet. My husband suggested we visit, so we waited to be seated. When a staff member finally came to the door, I asked if they could accommodate my egg and nut allergy. The staff member consulted with someone else, who I assume was in charge, and the response was that it was too difficult. There was no apology or attempt to discuss possible alternatives, like offering a reduced menu or a slice of toast. Feeling humiliated, we decided to leave and go home because I was too upset to try anywhere else.

We had breakfast here and enjoyed it very much. We have eaten here before and have enjoyed our time there every time. They have lovely decor in the tea room and this makes you feel very comfortable. The service is very good and the staff are very friendly. I have brought afternoon tea for my parents here and they had a lovely time. I will be going back.
