Near Christmas as we are, its freezing and
what we all really need is a warm place to go for a cup of cheer…I mean tea. I stumbled
upon Pips on my way to the Pantiles and it looked warm and inviting, I had to stop
for a cup of tea and a slice of cake! I was not disappointed by the lovely tea
and home-made Victoria Sponge that greeted me which will both have me going back
for more with friends!
Lit by the glow of two red lamps over the
counter, the place has a lovely warm, cosy feel to it which is perfect for this
time of year you could almost imagine the red light was a Christmassy fireside glow
(the sort by which you might conspire or over which you might roast chestnuts!).
The room is full mismatched wooden furniture and fun knick-knacks like the deer
head on the wall, currently covered in festive lights (also red) and the random
fascinator on the wall below it.
One of the things
that really caught my eye however, was the slanted ceiling above the counter
that backs the stairs and has a door marked private in it! I can’t help but
wonder if it actually opens and what is behind it…
A quirky and
pleasant place to relax and have breakfast, lunch or just a snack with a great
menu served till nine and a warm homely feel, I really recommend Pips for a pit
stop any time of day!
