The Tea Rooms, Tapeley Park, Westleigh

Lovely place

Good for coffee and cake but very expensive.

We decided to sit outside as the cafe and neighbouring room were very musty and damp smelling. We bought 3 teas and a hot chocolate. The cost was £13.55 which I was very surprised at. There was no price list, so I couldn’t query. I wondered if this was £3 each for tea and £4.55 for the hot chocolate? Very expensive for what we were served. The tea was very tannic and undrinkable. The hot chocolate also tasted musty, and despite stirring frequently separated so may be several years old. Noone could drink their refreshments so it was an expensive sit down outside. The person serving us also has a recurring cough (coughing over our drinks) and twice wiped her nose on the back of her hand so overall it felt grubby.
