We came here due to high Google reviews. And Google delivered. We had cream tea, taste amazing, especially the cream, wow. And the ladies who run this tea room are so lovely. And the price is very reasonable. I would definately recommend this place.

My Wife and I had been going into Phoebes for quite some time, always enjoying the lovely lunch selection, afternoon tea and amazing cakes on offer. We loved it all so much we asked the wonderful owner (Lesley) if she could make our cakes for our wedding. She was more than happy to accept and provided us with the most wonderful wedding cake and cupcakes, they really stole the show on the big day. Lesley made the whole process really easy on us and was happy to work with whatever we wanted, we even got to do a little cake tasting! We are so grateful for everything Lesley has done for us and our big day, and we will always be happy customers returning back to Phoebes for more sandwiches and afternoon teas!

Just listen to all the 5 star reviews and come here. Friendly staff more than happy to indulge reasonable requests and the eggs Benedict is PHENOMENAL. Proper stuff, you can taste the butter in the hollandaise. Will always come back whenever we're in the area!

Wow! Great find for a gorgeous early breakfast after dropping in the car for a service. With partner plus dog, we were made very welcome, and dogs are treated royally, too.Lovely old building, with very nice terrace, great cakes and super range of food. Car parking a very short walk away. Will be back soon!
