Yum, Yum. Whether you prefer it the Cornish way or the Devonshire way, there’s nothing quite like a traditional cream tea. Thankfully Lincoln is no slouch when it comes to quality authentic tea rooms so we’ve compiled a little shortlist of our favourites. Cream on!
- Bunty’s Tea Room – 18 Steep Hill, Lincoln
This delightfully quaint family run tea room has consistently pleased locals and travellers alike. The vintage aesthetic does much to offer a warm and friendly trip down memory lane but the real star is of course, the tea. Gorgeous tea cups, a diverse range of old China and plentiful cake to go around, this is a real gem in Lincoln’s mug shaped crown. Available for private hire and cake order, Bunty’s is well worth scouting out.
- Stokes High Bridge Cafe – 207 High St, Lincoln
The alluring charm of this magnificent Tudor building dates back to 1160 and sits gracefully over the River Witham while remaining the only Medieval bridge in England with houses still sat upon it. Enough history, what about the tea, coffee and cake? Well, take a look for yourself at their menu here – it’s impressive stuff and the views, well, some go for the views alone. If you’re one for British history and don’t find natural beauty offensive then you’ll be right at home at Stokes.
- Bells Tea Room – 39 Steep Hill, Lincoln
Another wonderful traditional tea room experience buried deep in the heart of Lincoln’s Cathedral Quarter, this Grade II listed building is as much a visual delight as it is a hospitable triumph. Best of all, if you’re up for more than the standard cream tea or a hot cuppa, they also provide an excellent all day Full English Breakfast. Pastries, teas, coffees, cakes and scones – it’s another Lincoln crowd pleaser.
