Dinner for 4 was great. The food and beer were delicious and delivered quickly. The waiter was friendly and attentive. It was a busy Friday evening so the noise was pretty aggressive at times but generally acceptable. It was our first time there and we’ll definitely return.

Our sales team recently visited Sotherton Tea Room for our holiday outing, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, the charming atmosphere transported us to another era, making it a truly unique and memorable experience. The attention to detail in the decor, the warm hospitality of the staff, and the perfectly curated tea selections set the tone for an elegant and relaxing afternoon. The food was exceptional—delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream, and a variety of sweet treats that were almost too beautiful to eat. For a team looking to do something out of the box, this is an excellent choice. It’s not just tea; it’s an experience that fosters connection, laughter, and a break from the usual. We highly recommend Sotherton Tea Room for anyone planning a holiday gathering, team outing, or even just a special treat for yourself. We’ll definitely be back! 🎄☕
