Miss Mollett's High Class Tea Room - Appledore

My parents have visited this sweet little tearoom before and told me about the wonderful time they had here, so when my father asked me where we should take my mother for Mother’s Day, I knew this was the place. The bright tearoom is painted light pink and covered in a variety of decorations, (all for sale) from beautiful paintings of birds, cottages and even a tiny drawing of a teapot who’s chunky frame is at least twice the width of the picture.

We’ve pre-booked three ‘High Class Afternoon Teas’ so when we sit down we are asked what kind of tea we would like, what jam we’d like with our scones and (the best part) what cakes we’d like after. Its all prepared super-fast and is on the table just as we are admiring the mis-matched cups and saucers. Everything in here is mis-matched (one of the things I love about this type of tearooms) including the table cloths, plates and decorations around the room including three different but similar mini chandeliers (to add a touch of class) and a beautiful old bird cage complete with fake birds and  adorned with tea cups dangling underneath, hanging from the centre of the room.

My mother warned me that I might not be able to finish the my food and when the fairly modest spread arrived I’m not sure if I believe her, however three perfectly soft sandwiches, delicious cups of tea and a medium-sized scone (with strawberry jam) later I can see why she said that (and there is still cake to come!) When a member of staff comes to clear away he even offered to pack the left over scones for my mum to take home and brings them back in tin foil fashioned into handbag for her. Perfect for taking home AND a great accessory! The Icing on the cake (so to speak) of this perfect Mother’s Day meal was there huge slices of cake they brought out to finish the meal and finish us off as none of us could eat all of the generous helpings!

This meal, the tea room and the staff were all so lovely and we felt welcomed and comfortable here. There really is nothing better than a nice meal in a lovely place with your family after which the world seems a little brighter (and you feel a whole lot more full). I would really recommend this place to anyone, especially familys as they are so welcoming to people of all ages.
