“ Found this little gem on a motorbike ride today. Scones were delicious, coffee & tea were good. Hubby says carrot cake was lovely too. Such a quirky place but really reasonably priced. If you're looking for a book is also an amazing place to visit. ”
“ I suppose I'm a bit biased as this is my local. But it is a traditional family run pub and tea room and bookshop that does food as well. Like Sunday lunches. It's a good family pub, the puddings are amazing, all cooked on the premises, not like some where they are bought in. And the atmosphere is welcoming. ”
“ Visited Eardisley a couple weeks ago and ate breakfast and lunch a couple days. Staff were great. We came from Canada to see the village my great great grandparents lived in in the 1850s. Found a book in their store about the history of houses in Eardisley that helped my research. Thanks. ”
“ A lovely cafe with plenty of choice on the menu. Proper old school. Seating inside or in the garden . Also houses, a shop, post office & pub. Everything under one roof ”
