The Pegg House Tea Room
I have been in many a tea room in the US as well as my travels abroad. I also have been certified as a Master Blender by the American Tea Masters Assoc. Since moving to NC it's been hard to find real tea houses in the area so I was excited to try The Pegg House. I made reservations so when my mother-in-law and I arrived it was frustrating that we had to walk through the different rooms looking for someone that worked there as we were not greeted at the door. We were then stuck back in a corner of a room where a baby shower was going on so it was not very quiet. The waitress came to take our orders and ask what kind of tea we'd like. There was a nice variety of food that you could order though I was a little disappointed at the size of the tea menu. We were told we could only order one kind of tea with our meal. I greatly enjoy the tea rooms where you can try as many different kinds of tea with your meal, especially when you order a full tea. Our tea came out maybe 15 minutes later but it was not till 30 minutes after we were seated that our food was delivered. I understand that they had a baby shower going on but we did make reservations. The waitress gave an attitude when I asked her to tell us what the food was we had been served on the lovely tray. She never came back to see how the food was and we had to hail her to get a refill on our tea pots. For the price I was very disappointed in the amount of food that we received, I actually left still feeling hungry. The food was good but I have never left a tea house not filling stuffed to the gills. Overall the service, food and tea will not entice me to return to this particular tea house.
