Tearooms in Staffordshire
Welcome to the tearooms of Staffordshire website – the site for people like me who dream of those perfect tea shops.
As a child, my grandma used to take me out to tea at a tearooms on the Fosse Way in Nottinghamshire. The sun always shone and we used to sit in a lovely garden surrounded by tall evergreens and eat cucumber sandwiches without crusts, bread sliced very thin with raspberry jam and scones with strawberry jam and cream.(always the same flavours.) Afterwards, I used to play on the swings whilst my grandma soaked up the sun in a candy stripe deck chair of the old fashioned type.
Since reaching twentyone, I have visited many a tea shop – some of them living up to my expectations based on those childhood experiences. One of the best is a tearoom in Staffordshire to be found under that beautiful if often wet crag, The Roaches. Many a day I have sheltered from the pouring rain, supposed to be burning calories climbing on the rocks, but instead consuming many fluffy light cakes, cups of tea and hot chocolate.
If only webpages like this had been around when I was twentyone. I could, as you and I now can, have clicked on the listings for Staffordshire tearooms found on this page (and also the cafes on the Cafes in Staffordshire page.) You can find out exactly where the teashops are in Staffordshire so avoiding those disappointing afternoons when you just can not find a tearooms. Each listing is accompanied by a description of the tea shop and the food they serve. Very importantly, they also list the opening times and telephone number, so you can check they will be open. We all know the awful disappointment of arriving at a teashop, hot and thirsty or wet and cold, to find it closed. My husband somehow used to manage to stretch out a walk until the tea shop had closed.
What better way to spend a sunny afternoon than to walk round the restored Victorian Biddulph Grange Gardens near Leek in Staffordshire and then to visit a tea shop that you have selected earlier from this Tearooms In Staffordshire web page. Or perhaps you fancy a visit to the city of Lichfield, in south Staffordshire, to visit its cathedral and see its three graceful spires, aptly known as “the ladies of the vale.” First, I suggest you look at the Lichfield Cathedral page of this site (click the green Staffordshire Information button at the top of this page and follow the link for Lichfield Cathedral.) You might also want to check the weather before making any definite plans by clicking on the Staffordshire weather button at the top of this page. Then at last you can indulge yourself by finding a tea shop by checking out the listings on this Tearooms in Staffordshire page.
Alternatively, you may be considering a visit to the Wedgewood and Spode factories in Stoke-on-Trent. (Click on the Staffordshire information button at the top of the page.) Stoke on Trent is brimming with tea shops waiting to serve you.
If you are still hungry come the evening, I suggest you look on our Staffordshire Good Food, pubs that serve food in Staffordshire or Staffordshire Restaurants pages by hitting the links on the left of this page to find the eatery for you.
Wherever you take tea in the beautiful and varied county of Staffordshire, may the cake be light and fluffy, the sandwiches be perfect and the jam fruity. And you can be sure to arrive whilst the shop is still open because you will have found out about it on this Tearooms of Staffordshire web page. Enjoy!
