The Garden Tearooms - ROLEYSTONE

We waited for more than 45 minutes for a simple brekkie ($22 felt too high) no apologies 4 the delay)

With just three people in line ahead of us ....just to place an order ....took 30 mins plus ...the elderly lady who I think is the owner ...perhaps shecould hand this part over to someone who is much quicker and focus on some other part of the operation .... she hand writes the orders twice ...then disappears around to the kitchen to give them the order ....an EXTREMELY SLOW PROCESS!!!!!!! By the time we got our cake and coffee it was close to 50 mins.....as we hadn't had lunch ...I was pleased I hadn't ordered something more complex......there was a table of 6 across from us in the courtyard who were also grumbling about the time it was taking to place their order and length of time for it to arrive.It's an absolutely beautiful place .....but make sure you've got lots of time on your hands and not hungry!!!! The coffee was great ...the apple pie was a bit deceptive...you can't see this even from the photograph but there was more pastry than filling and the ice cream sort of tasted like diet ice cream ....overall ok and definitely worth a visit but keep in mind the above :-)

This wonderful establishment is consistently good. We have been a number of time over the years and always love it. So peaceful and the outlook from the deck at the back is magnificent. The food is excellent and I absolutely love the salad that goes with the bacon and zucchini, or asparagus and onion slice. Such variety and taste. We think it excellent value for money. And something I love, which doesn't happen very often, is a pot of tea comes with extra hot water - a rarity nowadays. Would highly recommend.

We had a nice snack at the garden team rooms today, food was very nice and the staff are very friendly, will be back
