Whilst the Jubilee Lake Tea Room serves a range of tea, cakes, ice cream, toasties and other hot snacks, as well as a selection of hot and cold drinks, as would befit any small tea room, one thing it lacks is a room! This establishment is a family run business serving refreshments from a cabin close to a children’s play park, with several garden tables for those taking tea.
On the day of my visit four different cakes were on offer, with their other offerings displayed on boards and notices nearby. On a warm and sunny summer’s day, the tea ‘room’ was doing a brisk trade. Peach ice tea and a slice of strawberry and vanilla cake came to £4.80. Both were delicious.
With all seating outside, opening times are weather dependent, with advertised hours being from 10 am to 4 pm of ‘until it rains’. As much of their trade is from users of the adjacent play park, opening is also linked to the school holidays, with the tea room open daily, weather permitting, during school summer holidays, but only Friday to Sunday at other times.
