Overview
Sally Lunns Tea Shoppe and Restaurant has now been in business for 30 years, eighteen of them in Chester NJ. They are still serving up the best homemade pies, pastries and desserts that you could find anywhere in the State and their mouth watering buttermilk scones -- the recipe still a secret -- are as scrumptious as ever!

Food: My sister who loves to visit tearooms wherever she travels was visiting me this weekend from out of state. We looked forward to visiting Sally Lunn's during our afternoon trip to Chester, but our experience was AWFUL! The place has absolutely no ambience, and is very run down. Cheap silverware and paper napkins, sugar packets, less than appealing teapots (mine was actually dirty on the outside - what the heck is a tea cozy - they certainly don't know), food was just ok. How about a beaten up poster board with a marker-smeared list of the specials that the hostess brings over and props against a chair by your table? How about staff who are sloppily dressed? Our server was a young man who did not fit a tearoom image in the least. I could go on and on...The restroom was the pits - not ... (more) |

Food: My husband and I recently had tea on a busy Saturday around 1PM. When we arrived the tea room was filled, but we had to wait only a few minutes for a table. We were pleased to be seated so quickly, especially since we did not have a reservation. Our server was lovely and attentive. We did not have the full tea but had a scaled-down version. We enjoyed our tea selection and agreed that the food was good, so much so that we bought two scones to take home. Our chief complaint, however, pertains to the ambience and level of cleanliness, together with the very awkward position of the restroom. The tea room is much too cluttered; with clutter, it is hard to keep it clean and tidy. We understand how difficult it must be to change table linens when you are so busy; however, we suggest to the owner... (more) |

Food: I don't recommend this place. Service was very slow and I agree with another reviewer that our waitress was not very knowledgeable about the menu. Food was okay but nothing to write home (to Wales) about. Not worth the money. |

Food: I searched for my 'piece of England' in NJ, went to Sally Lunn's and was very disappointed! Scones might be crumbly but sometimes it's because they are old. The cream is not clotted and flakes, sugar mice etc. on the shelves are covered in dust and very old. My kids tried. The owner is unpleasant and rude no matter how hard customers try. She may have a variety of teas on offer but they are not prepared the English way. Authentic? No way! If you are looking for stale, overpriced digestive biscuits it's your place. Otherwise don't bother. |

Food: I know for a fact that this tea room is lacking in every department. If one finds this to be an authentic tea room then they are just your average everyday customer, but for someone looking for class, elegance, and a true tea room experience...this is not the place. The food is not prepared daily although the staff has to say it is, even though it may have been left over from the week before. The place is overly cluttered and in complete mishap, where a person is likely to slip and fall or crash into the goods being sold. The manager has a tendency to be quite rude to not only the staff but also to patrons....I experienced the display when there. I would recommed to anyone looking for a nice afternoon tea to go elsewhere and save this place for the tea room truckers!!! |
