What SimeyWimey doesn't like about Simon the Pieman:
Had a cream tea for £8.50. You get 2 small scones which were good, however, the tea is so bad. You get a tea pot with one meagre tea bag, and the weakest tea ever. Virtually undrinkable. (pg tips one cup tea bag, pyramid , and half the strength of a normal pg tip. I am a tea nerd) . The jam is in a small glass container and the sub- Tesco value variety, minimum 10% fruit. Scones this good need a good strong cup of le... View all feedback. What InvictaMoto likes about Simon the Pieman:

Simon The Pieman Tearoom in Rye offers a unique and delightful experience in the heart of East Sussex. Despite some mixed reviews about pricing and portion sizes, the tearoom boasts a charming atmosphere with friendly staff, making it a perfect stop for tourists exploring the town. With a good selection of cakes and a focus on gluten-free options, it caters to a variety of dietary preferences. The cream tea, however, received some criticism for being overpriced and lacking in quality. Despite this, the tearoom's eccentric decor and imaginative presentation of pies make it a must-visit for those looking for a quirky dining adventure in the picturesque countryside of Rye.
