Excellent food and staff. Really hot and wonderful range of vegetables . Thanks for another great meal.
Visited for the first time today and will definitely be visiting again. Lovely little cafe just off the seafront. Me & my husband both had a turkey roast followed by homemade cheesecake. Both were delicious. They welcomed my dog and even offered her allergy friendly treats.
Such a lovely atmosphere, and the couple than run it are so adorable and kind. Food is yummy and proper homemade , the decor is oldy worldly and quaint. We love it and my son who is 9 loves it in his words, really pleasant and tasty.
First visit today with our family including a baby. Staff very friendly helpful and great with the baby. We all had different dinners which were all very good value and well cooked plenty of choice. Desserts a good selection and very reasonably priced. Recommended by people coming out and the people on the next table to us also recommended and visited often. Would return and recommend this lovely cafe. Only negative could possibly do with a little redecorating.

Myself and my friend decided to visit Howards Tea Rooms for the second time as when we first went Dave was so impressed with his cappuccino and liked the look of the food the other diners were having. When we arrived I immediately made a beeline for a comfy bench seat but before Dave could have a seat, the waiter whisked his away and disappeared. After a few seconds wondering where Dave was going to sit, the waiter returned with a really nice padded chair for him (which I thereafter referred to his Dave’s ‘special chair’). The waiter handed us a laminated menu each and we ordered 2 diet cokes whilst we scrutinised the menu. The waiter returned promptly with our drinks, and left us to decide what to eat. I myself had only planned on having something light (such as a bacon roll),but Dave had decided he was definitely having a turkey roast dinner (for only 6) with a side order of roast potatoes. I looked through the light meals and decided on having the chicken burger with chips. After placing our order we weren’t waiting too long for our food to arrive. Both of us were impressed with the look of our food. Dave was delighted to discover beneath the slabs of turkey lurked a delicious surprise of a portion of sage and onion stuffing balls which wasn't on the menu. My chicken burger and chips was great and the onion rings were deliciously crispy. Overall I think we’d both give our visit a 10/10, and we will definitely visit again.
Great little place for some home cooked clean food iv been using this place for years and it's just a great place all around
Quaint place. A restaurant with traditional cheap food. Very nice staff.
