Stamford Country Lounge

The afternoon tea at Stamford Country Lounge is really affordable at only £27.50pp including unlimited tea or coffee, with a £10pp deposit required to secure the booking. What l particularly liked was that we got to choose our sandwiches when booking (3 each) so it felt personalised. On arrival I noticed how unique and quirky this place is which made it feel really homely. When our food was served we didn't even know where to start, it all looked so delicious! The highlights were most definitely the homemade sausage roll and scotch egg. The sandwich fillings were so generous too which was a big plus. All the sweet treats were miniature size which was perfect to try a bite of all of them. Our eyes were too big for our bellies so we took some home in takeaway containers. The only very small negative I can think of is at times the service was a little on the slower side and we had to try and get their attention to ask for things. I would definitely recommend!

We visited Stamford today and were absolutely delighted with the food and service received at this delightful cafe. We were warmly welcomed and whilst we hadn’t reserved a table were lucky to be seated quickly. The menu had so many delicious offerings it was hard to choose, but once we did the service was excellent and the food arrived beautifully presented, hot and very enjoyable We couldn’t fault anything and were just sorry we were too full to enjoy a piece of cake too! Sadly we are not very local, but we will most certainly make this our cafe of choice when visiting again. Top marks and thank you

I booked an afternoon tea for my mum and I. The shop is quaint, beautifully decorated, and overlooks a pretty old street. The staff were lovely (young girl with tattoos on her arms especially, what a sweetheart!) and service was fast. The afternoon tea was so beautifully presented and there was SO much food! We took home about half of it. I was so impressed with the vegetarian scotch egg! Everything was delicious. The little pots of strawberry...mousse(?) were our favourite! Dogs are welcome in the shop. My cons are- it would be great to have an online booking system rather than messaging on Instagram to book. It would be nice to include one 'speciality' drink like a latte as part of the afternoon tea. Although the shop is accessible by wheelchair I don't believe the toilet is as if I am right, there was a step or two up to it.

I love love love going to the country lounge. My friend and I try and go once a month to meet for a delicious breakfast and hot drink. We never have to book and always get a table. It's in a great location. We started meeting here from reading the Google reviews and had to try it for ourselves. Dean severed us and he is now very familiar with us and greets us on arrival and makes us feel very welcomed. The food is always so beautifully presented and ever so tasty. See you next month lovely team. X

Went here for my daughter’s 21st birthday. Wow , wow ,wow we all had the cream tea apart from one of us. The food was absolutely delicious , I can’t recommend this place enough. Very well presented on a mini picnic bench , very cute. The service was fantastic , the staff can’t do enough for you. If you go to Stamford this place is a must !!

Had a great experience at the Stamford Country Lounge - my friend took me for an afternoon tea treat for my birthday and it didn’t disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, couldn’t fault any of it! The chocolate orange mousse in particular was a highlight! There was a great atmosphere in there and the staff were super friendly. Will definitely be returning and couldn’t recommend enough!

Friendly service, nice breakfast options, would have appreciated some yogurt/granola option given it's summer. We enjoyed orange, carrot and ginger juices, coffee and what you can see in the pics. Interior a bit tired but that didn't detract. Seating on ground floor level and more beyond, up a few steps.

Stamford Country Lounge is without a doubt, the best place for afternoon tea. We picked this place over The George (and regret nothing). Unlike other establishments, you get sweet and savoury foods, you have a choice of sandwiches, and most - if not all of the items, are homemade. The white chocolate and cranberry scones, sausage rolls and crayfish sandwich in particular were fantastic. There are around 10 or so tables inside, as well as outside seating, so when we go back for a general meal we’ll likely pre-book to make sure we get a place. The owner and staff were also lovely and made us feel very welcome!
