A lovely place to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the sunshine with food and drink. There are excellent hosts who provide a fantastic service. A great local tea garden, well worth a visit.

I went to the Elstow Tea Garden with a friend today. I did not know that this place existed until I was informed on this very day so I thought I would give it a try. We had to strive a little to find it but it was worth the effort. The food, dessert and customer service was of the highest quality. It's a nice big tea garden with nice seats, nice tables, nice greenery and a tropical fish pond to add to the pleasant scenery. The beautiful Sunny day added to the positivity of the visit. There are not many places that offer a unique experience like this. The toilets were available and spotlessly clean. This will be my go to place when I go to Elstow village. This is the perfect place to take family if you want nice food in a very adequate outdoor setting. I would highly recommend the Elstow Tea Garden and I will definitely be back.

Lovely tea garden in Elstow. A little hidden gem. Friendly staff, great prices. If you're out and about I thoroughly recommend this place. Only downside is if the weather is rubbish might be an issue.

Here on a Saturday afternoon for a birthday 🎂. It is a little gem set behind the church in a relaxing setting with a pond and a well kept garden. Great value for money. Will definitely be back again.

We went here for my daughter's first birthday. The staff were wonderful, really kind and helpful. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and that the while family was comfortable and looked after. I will definitely be visiting again and would recommend them to anyone. Fantastic afternoon.

For some reason google would not allow me to write a review yesterday, only allowed my star rating so now I have returned to write something. When we arrived we were greeted at the gate and shown to our table. Four adults, one toddler and one baby. High hair was set up already. Celebrating grandma’s birthday. The young ladies serving us were lovely and very attentive throughout our visit. We ordered four afternoon tea and a sandwich and milkshake for the toddler (and baby shared sandwich). Toddlers eyes nearly fell out when the afternoon tea arrived and wasn’t happy when we adults started helping ourselves (she thought it was all for her, don’t worry we did share little nibbles with her). The selection was really good and at a fabulous price. We had an individual teapot each which was regularly topped up with hot water and/or teabags without having to request anything. Will definitely be back again. THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND
