Sunbury Embroidery Cafe - Spelthorne

This is a beautiful location and the coffee is great. My only criticism is the fact that there is very little in the way of savoury snacks available. At my last visit there was only soup sandwiches. I did notice however that they were at least six different types of cake and scones! Great for a cake lovers but how about something for those who prefer a savoury like a cheese scone, sausage roll or even a toasted sandwich?

Beautiful location to come for something light to eat and enjoy the view of the best kept gardens in Surrey. The cakes are freshly made every morning and the afternoon tea is simple but to die for. Easy parking which is free for the first hour. Highly recommend the wall gardens we which I visit three times a week. Only down side is that they are not dog friendly

Been here numerous times over the last 15 years. It’s set in beautiful walled gardens with outside and inside seating. Firstly this place is run by volunteers and is attached to a gallery. They served hot food, cakes and hot and cold drinks. Overall cakes are 5/5 most are homemade but their tea cakes come from the Cavan Bakery which has a few local branches so all cakes are locally produced which is a plus. We have only tried some of the food but the soup is always great and comes with a whopping slice of bread. Really tasty. I have also tried the cheese ploughman’s which again was pretty big. I always find with a ploughman’s that there is more cheese than bread/biscuits and this is no different. But again tasty. The service is always friendly and welcoming. The only thing that is not great is the quality of the coffee. It’s quite weak and so a cappuccino tastes like frothy milk only. It may be that the clientele prefer weaker coffee but would really love a stronger cup. We have found a way around this with black americano and a jug of milk. Overall this is a volunteer run place that is really welcoming and friendly. Cakes are great and the view is lovely and atmosphere peaceful. I would love the coffee to be better especially as we usually go for breakfast but it hasn’t stopped us visiting twice a month for the last 10 years and recommending this place to friends and family.

Organised a group of 30 girls in 2 groups to visit the embroidery gallery as well as the café having travelled from the far north of Buckinghamshire. We were not disappointed. It was fabulous both the embroidery as well as the café. A truly hidden gem that I’d thoroughly recommend to everyone. Oh and the cake was... superb!! Thank you to the 2 volunteers who gave us the short talks about the history of the embroidery too.

We came here after the concert at Riverside Arts Centre after the classical concert(see my review). The food was amazing for such a small cafe all made to order eg sandwiches, bake pots croissants with fillings.Good menu including gluten free. It was busy as such a lovely day on Saturday just gone. We sat outside a few of us from the concert joined us.We had sandwich with ham water cress on brown bread, mayo, little salad, apple juice, soup with mix bread butter. All very yummy indeed. I found it not expensive at all. We didn't have time to see the The Sunbury Embroidery Gallery itself, but see it a few times, lovely if you like needlework like myself. We didn't have time to walk around the garden either, but took some pics plenty of birds that came to get your crumbs not shy at all, lovely to hear the birds singing too. There were some flowers in bloom lavender where I was sitting some of the roses. Parking available, pay display, but park after the machine as that's for all of us, not when you go in as for people who live there. Would recommend.
