We always have to have a strawberry cream turnover which are fantastically large and taste amazing. We've also bought several slices of cheesecake and other cake to have after dinner later on and they too are always lovely. Excellent pasties too.

Our Brunch meal for your information is.... Free range scrambled eggs 3 (not fried) Local reared Bacon 2 rashers (not danish), Fresh Plumb tomatoes (not tinned), Baked Beans (tinned Im afraid), 2 slices of thick toast locally baked by our master bakers (not tescos), fresh juice of your choice (5 choices), and freshly ground coffee (arabecca blend) not instant and a choice of over 35 teas to choose from.

It's the perfect way to start the day.

We will be booking again soon for lunch. BTW if the food is so bad WHY do you have to book for lunch? I think that says it all about the service & the food it the Danbury Tearoom.

Well done pauline's, keep it up.

The sponge cake was dense and dry, where as I thought it would be moist and light. The fudge icing was nice but missing something I can't quite put my finger on.

Our food was cold, the Ciabatta bread was so hard it couldn't even be cut through with a knife, the croissants were served cold with literally just a slice of cheese (cold) and a slice of ham in. It looks as though a child had made the food in about five minutes and didn't know how to work an oven. Not only was the food barely edible, it was outrageously expensive... £10 for a cooked breakfast without sausages, hash browns or mushrooms. Definitely a waste of time and money going there if you have any sense. After just visiting Danbury Tea Rooms, I can safely say I will never visit there again.
