The building itself is the old Carriage House to the main house (circa 1740) and the tea room sits in an old wood paneled billiard and gentlemen’s smoking room. Now it is home to the clinking of tea cups rather than billiard balls and the aromas of baking pies, cakes, shortbreads and scones rather than pipe smoke. The tea room has a fireplace that we stoke up for the winter, and in the summer we seat customers in our patio and shady tea garden.
The Tea Shop has become an unique institution and an integral part of a trip to Sandwich. We have developed a great reputation over the years for our homemade goods, our selection of quality teas and our innovative menu. We also have a fine selection of British ales and European wines, ports and sherries.
