All of the food within the luxury afternoon teas that we had was wonderful. There were a lot of us and every single person really enjoyed it all. The great customer service matched up to the delicious food and we were very impressed. One of the cakes that we had a slice of was the best cake I have EVER tasted. Thank you!

Helen catered for our special celebration of life for my grandma, who had passed during covid. We had a family and friends party in her honour. The food was fantastic, beautifully prepared and presented. We had a full high tea spread, including: sandwiches, cakes, fruit platter, scones with jam and clotted cream. It was scrumptious!! Thank you Poyton Tea Room.

Poynton tea rooms catering did a lovely buffet for my mum’s wake. Everything was taken care of with a fantastic variety of menus to choose from. Everything was well appreciated particularly the chicken skewers, chocolate cake and scones with cream and jam. The vegetarian platters were very well received and appreciated. Thank you Helen and Graeme for all your hard work.

Had a beautiful afternoon tea with my husband and toddler, fresh and tasty! Recommended as a treat! They also do breakfast, lunch and specials and the menu is great if you don't want the afternoon tea but I do rate it highly. Very accommodating for kids.

Called in on the off chance today and what a bloody good find this place was. My mum had the cheese on toast and I had a prawn sandwich which came with crisps and salad and coleslaw and a pot of tea. Everything was so so fresh, the prawns weren’t those tiny little stingy things that you get in most places. You could tell everything was made with love, great service too. Will definitely return here next time I am in the area and have already recommended it to friends and on my Instagram.
