Wellies Coffee Shop
Rutland Water Garden Centre, Lydon Road, Manton, LE15 8RN
Wellies was not originally listed on this page, however, it has come to my attention that Wellies Coffee Shop at Rutland Water Garden Centre near Manton is actually a favourite for afternoon tea among The Rutland Blogger readers. So of course, I had to amend the post and include the favourite that is Wellies.
Upon research, it actually proves that Wellies is the most affordable amongst the listings at under £13. It appears you have to book in advance (at least 2 days notice) but the photographs of the afternoon tea look amazing, I will definitely be visiting with my Mother, who takes my Grandad there on a regular basis for a coffee and a cake!
Kavanagh's Tea Room
2 Church Passage, Oakham, LE15
New to Oakham this year (and already a popular favourite with the locals!) is Kavanagh's Tea Room. Nestled in the heart of Oakham down Church Passage is a quaint and quirky tea room, owned by Clare Kavanagh. With 3 floors of vintage styling and themed rooms (the blossom room is my favourite), Kavanagh's is a very lovely setting for afternoon tea in Rutland. I've visited twice myself, once for afternoon tea for my Mother's birthday. The cake was lovely and the sandwiches too, however, the only thing that was missing was our afternoon tea tiered stand. Although, I'm assured they usually have them.
