Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour

I've been to Lady Bedford's twice now - it was such a treat!! The tea was excelent, the food was outstanding and the service was fun. It's, at the same time, cozy, elegant and fun - our server was a doll and made us feel right at home. I went once with my husband and once with my adult son - they were not too sure about having 'high tea' - but they were made to feel comfortable and important - they both loved it as did I. Can't wait to have tea at Lady Bedfords again!

Celebrating our 15th year Engagement Anniversary at Lady Bedford's brought us a lot of good memories during our 9 years in England. The quality of sevice and the artistry are superb, worth comparing to our experience at The Savoy's .

Second time back at Lady Bedfords. Atmosphere is wonderfully charming, food was great, and of course the tea too! A large selection of loose tea, served in style. Service was excellent as well. On my next visit to NC, I'll make it a point to return to Lady Bedfords!

This tea parlour offers everything that a tea lover could want. An extensive menu of fine teas. Delicious home-made food, including wonderful quiches and soup. Superb service, including a bell on the table to summon a server. A fresh orchid on each luncheon plate. Delicate china. A pretty light-filled room.

I am sitting at work daydreaming about my next trip all the way from Orlando! The service and food was so goo I can't wait. Marian you and your team are the best in Pineuurst, NC

A wonderful place to have tea. My wife and I have had tea in London Hotels and Lady Bedford does a comparable job, buy it much more cozy. You will not be disapointed

Enjoyed a fabulous lunch with a friend on December 20th. Although we did.not have a reservation, we were seated immediately by a very gracious hostess. The food was delicious.

I treated my wife to lunch here while we were out shopping. She and I enjoyed the tea, food and service. The table next to us were three women with three children who were delightful company. By noon all the tables we could see were filled but there were more tables in a back room that we could not see, just patrons and servers going in and out. We will be back in 2011!

My aunt, daughter, and I attended a special event at Lady Bedford's and had a wonderful time. Not only were the tea varieties and food excellent, the program was quite interesting. The room was full of ladies and gentlemen who all seemed to be enjoying the event as much as we were.

A tea parlor of the kind thst is becoming rare in the UK. No tea bag and a metal pot of hot water at Lady Bedford. Instead, an amazing variety of teas, excellent service, light meals of superb quality, and a lovely atmosphere in a charming house. Not to be missed!

My sister and I have visited more tea rooms than I can count, and this was truly the best. The perfect combination of great food, large tea selection and friendly service. After spending a leisurely lunch, we spend the next 1/2 hour in the shop purchasing unique Christmas gifts (and a few things for ourselves!). Thank you Marian,the Chef and the twins! Can't wait to return!

Delicious food prepared by an outstanding chef. Great tea selection. A warm, inviting and very calming atmosphere. Men would enjoy as well. I certainly do.

A lovely place for a meeting with friends. Warm, cozy, charming!!

What a wonderful find. This is a beautifully cozy tea room with incredible food and a never ending tea selection. Thanks to the staff, the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Everyone in our group raved. We'll be back.

A wonderful experience, and great atmosphere. Lovey ladies lunch place!Delicious soup and sandwiches and Desert.....

Lovely surroundings, yummy food, exquisite teas, cordial service! Thank you for a delightful afternoon.

Our group of high school friends have been getting together for many years for a special holiday celebration. For many of us this was our first visit to Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour. The soup, tea sandwiches, and desserts were delicious and the presentation was lovely. What a delightful experience!

One special place to entertain and dine special friends. Always a delightful eatery when visiting this area or taking guests who visit.

A charming place with beautiful food and excellent service! The ladies and chef made it an intimate and friendly atmosphere! Our luncheon there was very special! We had a delightful time!!

A delightful place with delicious soup and tea sandwiches and of course, desserts!!! Our group of 11 was treated royally with the fun servers and chef's attention.
The variety of tea was exceptional and the china plates and tea cups were beautiful!!

The food was very good. The service was great, and the tea was well prepared. We really have no complaints.

Sharing a special lunch with my daughter's bridesmaids was enhanced by the charming ambience of Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour. Our service was friendly and prompt, entrees were delicious and presentation was colorful. John, the chef, came to our table to meet us. The owner, Marion, treated us royally!

My husband and I recently had a late lunch at Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. We had been to the Tea Parlour once before to buy tea, but had never eaten there. My husband had the split pea soup and said it was really great. I ordered the Tea Sampler and was really pleased with the variety. The meal was very filling and really good. We are already planning our next trip there with my sister and her husband!

Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour provided a wonderful experience for my sisters,niece, and me during our visit to Pinehurst. The variety of teas is incredible; the food, delicious (especially the quiche and scones); the service, exceptional. It took us a while to realize that Ann and Joan were twins, not just one amazingly efficient server !! The lovely table settings and decor enhanced our experience.
Lady Bedford's is a tearoom which must be visited often !!

A lovely dining experience. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and courteous. I definitely will return.

Every time I leave lady Bedford's I am relaxed and content. The tea room is lovely, with gracious service and lots of attention to detail. Best of all are the wonderful teas and the exceptional food. Don't miss visiting this one! I am already looking forward to our next visit.

I actually found Lady Bedford's on line while looking for things to do in Pinehurst, N.C. It was the best find ever. A beautiful little Tea Room located in the quaint little village of Pinehurst. I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy breakfast there twice during my stay. Incredibe varity of tea's to choose from, delicious freshly prepared food,great presentation and wonderful ambiance. Make sure to try the quiche of the day and don't miss the scones,the BEST I have ever had!! I highly recommend Lady Bedford's. Bought tea to take back home as gifts. They package it up beautifully for you. My favorite was the Mojito Tea.

Step back in time at Lady Bedfords Tea Parlour and you will find yourself remembering when growing up that your grandmother and mother served from these plates and cups we are now being served from.Delicious food and abundance selection of iced teas and hot teas.I was served from a special set of china that my mother cherished back in the 40's The food tastes so good being served on these period pieces. Lady Brdfords is a special place in my heart.Oh,and by the way, check out the art work on the walls.Origional art by local artists. Guaranteed you will leave with a rememberence of eating at Lady Bedfords Tea Parlour. Thank You Marion for the Happy memories of things past. Sylvia Parks, Boston, Mass

Bruce was very informative and interesting. The ambiance of your Tea Room lends itself to a wonderful afternoon with friends and new acquaintances. Pat 10/2/11

Really enjoyed the tea talk presented by Bruce Richardson. His was knowledgable and charming, the time just flew! And thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary book, The Great Tearooms of Britain (by Mr. Richardson), in front of my fireplace later that evening. Thanks Marian for putting together a delightful fall afternoon tea experience! Marge 10/2/11

Wonderful!!!

9 family members from across the Piedmont met for my daughter's brunch baby shower. We each chose our own tea from a sizable menu with our own pot in a cozy, and our questions were expertly answered. The reasonably priced scone, quiche, and fresh fruit were delicious and the Victorian decor was beautiful.They simplified my blind sister-in-law's place setting.Strolling in the Village afterwards is a must-do. We WILL return!

We showed up to the tea room with very little prior notice (an email reservation sent at 10 PM the night before) and were treated to a special room that we had all to ourselves and the best of customary service!

It was my five year old daughter's first tea and my mother and I were there to celebrate with her. Even though we showed up at the breakfast time, the staff and chef went above and beyond and created a customized tea from the complete menu.

We had the best tea together that we have had since we were lucky enough to experience the Empress in Victoria!

Thank you ladies and gentleman for making my daughter's first tea so absolutely incredible!

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea and goodies at Lady Bedford's parlor. The staff was very efficient and friendly. The atmosphere was perfect!,and unusual goodies in their gift shop area. We surely will return on my next visit south. Yours truly, Maria Cook Belvidere, NJ

One of the most delightful places to relax and enjoy a cup of tea. The owner, Marian, is well informed of teas and tea room etiquette. We had fun visiting with her, and seeing her creativity in action. Her staff loves working there....as it showed in their smile and genuine friendly service.

My husband and his ROMEO friends (Retired Old Men Eating Out) had a special 80th birthday party there yesterday. The staff and food were wonderful. Who would've guessed that these guy pals would rave about a tea house but they did! Good job.

I can't count the number of times I've enjoyed lunch and/or tea at Lady Bedford's. It is a must on my list of places to take guests, and everyone who experiences it leaves saying how enjoyable and different it was. Kudos to the entire staff, they are so friendly and make every visit a true treasure. Whether I stop by with friends, guests, or alone, it's always the highlight of my day! Don't miss it!

This is my third visit--and every visit has been wonderful. It is small and very cozy. I called ahead this last time to request an easy table for a friend who had a hard time walking--they went the exta mile and had a perfect table. Will return again.

I love this tea room! Every experience here is so enjoyable. The staff are excellent and the food is great (try the Bedford Waldorf Salad in the the candied walnut bowl - amazing!!). If you are in Pinehurst you must stop here.

I am no expert, but Lady Bedford's provides an excellent experience. Try the strawberry tea, its perfect for the warm spring afternoons. The service is always impeccable.

What a wonderful place! My mom and I had such a lovely time and the staff couldn't be nicer. It was a bit slow because it was packed but we didn't mind because we were so charmed by the whole place. The prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality of the food and tea. I can't wait to return! Thanks so much! Don't miss this place!!

Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour was everything and more. My three friends and I enjoyed a delightful lunch, lovely tables and decor, wonderful service. When visiting Pinehurst in the future, we will return.

My Mom & I went to celebrate the Royal Wedding on 4/29/11. Our first visit, but not the last. The Duke (chicken salad with a scone) was delicious. We had the special Royal Wedding dessert (sparkling grape juice & a cupcake) that was fantastic. They even provided tiaras to make the occasion more fun. Maryann, the owner, took our picture & we told her that her parlor compared very well with tea we had in England. Ann & her twin, Joan, were great & went out of the way to treat us royally. They have an excellent hot chocolate & coffee as well. We will be back!

Have visited Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour numerous times - beakfast and lunch. Recently took 4 special friends (3 were first-timers)- all were absolutely thrilled with the food, the service and the ambience.

Had an absolutely delightful lunch with my mom & sister on our special mother/daughter outting! What a privilege to have this 'gem' so handy to us. Will definitely make plans to go back!

Traveled from Orlando to visit friends and deciede to visit Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour & Gift Shoppe with my best guy friend today. What an absolutely awesome time! The smoked turkey with cream cheese and strawberry preserves wowed my friends taste buds (The Anna Marie). He also had the The Beford Waldorf and we both enjoyed the candied nut basket :). The tuna sandwich (The Stanhope) which I had was fresh and delicious! I most enjoyed the service provided. My friend fell in love with Ms. Joan who is a twin with Ms. Ann. I was fooled a few times until I figured who was who. I was fooled because the service and kindness was consistent. Maryann, God bless you for being willing to 'PAY IT FORWARD' I can't wait to chat with you more and eventually have you ladies down to visit in Orlando when ... (more)I open SIPS my own Tea Parlour. Ladies 'ALL' of you please keep up the good work and the wonderful service you provided us today, from the minute we walked in until we left. I can't wait to take that 12 hour trip back up again to take Tea at Lady Bedford's Tea Parlour & Gift Shoppe.
God Bless Sonia

What an experience! Never imagined smoked turkey with cream cheese and strawberry preserves...WOW! Wish I could have taken this Chef home. Staff and Owner go out of their way to give you an absolutely wonderful experience.

Visited again for the fourth time in a couple of months. Have tried lunch and high tea. The wonderful total experience and food keep making me come back and bring more friends!

Food was good and atmosphere was wonderful as well. I can wait to go back there again.
