Hetty's Tea Shop

A really nice, quiet little canalside tea shop. We sat out the back on the canal, plenty of outdoor seating at the front too. Big car park, which is also used by walkers so if it looks really busy, there’s probably still space for you. Toilets (public) are in a separate building across the road. Food was great and drink were too. Service was friendly and average prices.

Visited here the other week for afternoon tea, and I can honestly say it is the best one. I've had fabulous food, fantastic attentive staff, and a lovely atmosphere beautifully decorated on the Alice in wonderland theme and lovely area it's situated at only downside is its a bit off the beaten track but we found it, one of our party couldn't attend so they made up a lovely tray of the food like we had for them would highly recommend to all.

What a great place first time here food was really good went for lunch party of 7 had a small room to our self which was good can sit in or outside was a bit busy had to wait for our meal sign of a good place will be back for definitely

A great little pit-stop for the local Froghall Wharf Walk routes. Charming, inside and out, with a good selection of savoury and sweet fayre; however, £3 for a can of Diet Coke … 😳
That said, the food is tasty and the portions are generous.
Free Parking is an added benefit!
Will definitely be going again.

Lovely tea shop excellent breakfast, cream teas & meals. Easy parking covered areas & outside dog friendly (would be even better if they allowed well behaved dogs inside). Great shaded canal walks from cafe, lots of wildlife & unspoilt. Could be a lovely easy walk from Kingsley & Froghall Railway Station, Churnet Valley Railway

Pre-booked afternoon tea in the dome for two. The service was excellent, fast and friendly. The food was lovely especially the home-made bits but the few store bought bits let it down when compared with the excellent home made bits but it was lovely to have so much choice. We'd definitely go here again but just for normal lunch dinner etc as although the experience was lovely the afternoon tea seems a little expensive for what you get when compared with other places we've visited but this is in no way a complaint as we really enjoyed it all I just think the rest of the menu seems more value for money as this was £42 for two people.

We went to Hetty's last week for afternoon tea and had a brilliant experience. We'd never dined upstairs before and we were keen to try it out. We weren't disdappointed - the setting was really nice and very quirky. The food was lovely and the we had so much we ended up taking some of it home. The ssrvice was great and the staff were very pleasant. We will definitely return which in my book is the acid test.

Wonderful tea room.in a beautiful location. Excellent food, polite friendly staff, definitely recommend and we shall return. Actively encouraging dog walkers and motorcycles.

This is a (not so) hidden. Thankfully, I ordered my food and drink before the queue started. The employee who served me was lovely and patient with me when I couldn't decide what cake I wanted. I choose a delicious cheesecake and a home made sausage roll. Both were five star. I found a place to sit and eat easily as there was plenty of seating for all. I sat Infront of the cannel and enjoyed my view. Was a great experience. I'm definitely going back for another slice of cake.

Really lovely atmosphere!! Lovely food and the staff were lovely and attentive! we had the pre booked afternoon tea for my bridal party and would definitely book again!!

The room was decorated so lovely and in the privacy of our own space by being upstairs! Thank you so much for everything!!

Beautiful location, lovely atmosphere, great outside space and cozy area with good selection of food and wonderful cakes.

Amazing place there cakes are out of this world very friendly staff place was full so we sat in the cosy tent witch was amazing lovely area buy the canal for families 5 stars

Would definitely recommend.Lovely area and scenery.Seating inside and out,delicious food and lovely staff.Plenty of parking.

We had a lovely visit today.

Unfortunately, there were no seats downstairs and my grandad struggles to walk upstairs and has dementia, but the lady that served us (I didn’t get her name) was so helpful and offered to help him upstairs, I told her that we’d be ok, and instead she carried the tray up for us, and took the time to lead us upstairs (as you have to go back outside)

She couldn’t do enough for us.

The food was lovely and the service was incredible.

I’d like to say a huge thank you to this lady, she’s a credit to your team.

Great little Tea and cake shop and a welcome rest with plenty of walks all around from flat canal paths to challenging hill climbs and field walking routes.

Amazing! Beautiful inside and out.
Cakes are all homemade and taste delicious, definitely worth a visit

Excellent venue. Came with gift vouchers but spent a bit more 😊

Lovely café, beautiful settings by the canal. Great tasting coffee and food, service is good, friendly staff, all on the doorstep, and the takeaway cake menu is a must... scones are to die for

First time here, had a lovely breakfast, nice walk along the canal & back for coffee and cake. Well worth a visit.

Always a great visit to Hetty’s. It’s just far enough from Stoke that it feels like a trip out and a special treat. We arrived a little late for lunch so as expected a lot of the pies and quiche had gone. I do seem to remember the vegetarian menu being a little larger last time. I had a beautiful flatbread last time and would love that to return. Also, some more vegan options would be great. We had oatcakes and they were delicious. Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff as always.
