Lunchtime at Tea By The Taw

Quiche Lorraine with chunky chips. A tasty and filling lunch!

Breakfast, Coffee and A Slice of Cake

This week, I went back to Tea By The Taw and Barnstaple Coffee Shop. I tried a Tea By The Taw Breakfast this time. Breakfast is served until 11am. For £6.45, the breakfast includes two local pork sausages, double-yolk egg, 2 slices of bacon, mushrooms, tomato, and a slice of toast. Tea or coffee is also included. Good value and a good quality breakfast. Local produce is used, and the best of the best ingredients are used here. A very tasty and filling way to start the day! I also went to Barnstaple Coffee Shop to try the hot drink and cake deal - for £3.80, customers can get a slice of homemade cake and coffee/tea. I opted for a slice of chocolate cake (with chocolate cream, fudge and buttons on the top) and a cafe latte. A lovely way to spend an afternoon!

Tea By The Taw, Barnstaple, Devon

Last week, I went to Tea By The Taw in Barnstaple, which was in the news recently when David Cameron visited as part of his campaign trail. Described as a vintage tea room, the interior lives up to its name: tea pots and cups adorn the walls, old posters and music add to its charm. The bathrooms feel quite homely, nice and spacious. Instead of paper towels, there is a basket of actual hand towels are provided, after which they are put in a basket when they will be rewashed (good for the environment too). It makes one customer remark to one member of staff: "your toilets are the best toilets I have ever seen!" All of this, and the good quality food and drink, show that this tea room has a lot of heart in what it does, and that is what sets it apart from other eateries. This is a must-see if you are in the area. Situated by the riverside, Tea By The Taw has a wonderful view when you are eating Cream tea time! My table, table 10 - the same David Cameron sat at! ...
