My wife and a got good little laugh at that. For the rest of the world that is plenty to offer for lunch, but for the British, those are just light snacks. The Italians were plenty happy with the offerings. £1.60 for a basic small teapot. Scones come with a lovely ménage trois of tasty jams. My walnut coffee cake is the best coffee cake I'd have ever eaten. The charming grannies that run this place are a delight. Most importantly: your last chance to use the toilet before hiking Neist Point!

After a beautiful train ride we were ready for something warm. We sat on the deck watching the…read morepeople pass by. The service was absolutely wonderful but nothing compaired to the soup. Never did I expect something so simple to be so unbelievable. We loved this place so much we are coming back the fall. A three hour drive, hour by train and a short walk just to have cullen skink soup. Oh and a 18 hour plane from America :) We talk about this tea room weekly and cannot wait to get back.
