Miss B's Traditional Tea Room

Visiting Melton, we chose the tea room over several other cafes in the town for a lunch snack. Up the stairs opening to a traditional tea room with tables set with plastic tablecloths, dressers and 1950s style furnishings. The young waitresses were efficient and polite and appeared enthusiastic about their jobs. The owner was chatty to her regulars. Overall we thought the food expensive, ( particularly the cakes) nothing tasted of quality.

Took forever to actually be served. We are a family with dietary restrictions. I have a boy with cmpa and myself / daughter coeliac disease (gluten free) I asked if they had gf bread which they did. When I chose mine, I was asked if I was sure I wanted it as wouldn't be nice on gluten free bread. I found this quite rude. I dont have a choice!! On food arrival my daughters toastie was actually just a sandwich and my boys toast was burnt on one side. Which is why he wouldn't eat it. Two young girls helping out, clearly useless. The one who bought our food stood staring at me as she'd forgot what she was serving then Said oh sorry I'm not with it today. The whole atmosphere of a peaceful breakfast out was ruined with all the shouting in the kitchen, young server's not in correct uniform, not taking orders, bringing food out which was wrong to be taken back, constant shouting of I'll be 2 mins. No highchairs available, not a suitable place for young children at all. I thought it couldn't get any worse until I paid she asked me if everything was OK. I'm not one to complain so said yes to be told well as good as it gets for gluten free. My daughter was very upset by this comment. Needless to say we shall not return. Prior to covid we regularly visited and it was always great. Gone down hill massively!!!!

Very good lovely place

Young lad in a Norwich FC top has no customer service skills whatsoever. Went in and we were greeted by him bent over double, sweeping when he blurted out "Got any allergies?". No "hello", eye contact, smile or anything. When we replied that we had no allergies, thanks, he then grunted and said, "Well, there's only cake". We got up and left.

I went with my Wife on a recommendation to try the original Melton Pork Pie. This was.a taste delight

Loved our visit here, large cake, good coffee and sandwiches/baguettes made to take away, all with friendly banter and service. Will call in again when in the area, thank you

Before I start this review we have visited previously last year and all was good. However my visit yesterday with my Mum (25/7/23) was awful. We ordered a pot of tea, a latte for myself and two toasted tea cakes. The tea arrived and although in a pretty pot was cold, boiling water had definitely not been used. This was returned and replaced. The latte was very small and the waitress spilled it into the saucer when delivering to the table again not in itself an issue. The tea cakes arrived but were not actually tea cakes but two tiny pieces of fruit loaf with even tinier sugar lump sized pieces of butter. At around £3.40 per serving, for my mum as a pensioner to pay almost £7 for 4 slices of fruit toast is just extortionate. The bill came to over £12 which I think is unacceptable, the waitress previously trying to total it on the till came to £24 twice at which point I offered to manually calculate for her. Safe to say I paid and we will not be returning.

Lovely quirky hideaway up some hidden stairs. A bit confused about where to order but lovely place with nice coffee and cake!

Came here with some friends, i ordered a cappuccino which to me seemed like it had water in it? it wasn’t very nice at all but drank it as i needed some caffeine haha. I work in a tea room myself and it just didn’t seem right. As well as that allot was spilled on the saucer - i understand we’re only human there was just quite allot and it wasn’t busy at all there was only one other table occupied whilst we where seated. My friend unfortunately didn’t enjoy her sausage baguette said the sausages where chewy. I got the soup of the day which was lovely, the decor is so sweet and looks lovely, just generally underwhelmed by the experience as well as my friends, wouldn’t return.
