Stamford Country Lounge

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.

I visted the Country Lounge for a cream tea. It was absolutely the best cream tea ever, the sandwiches were so good and the selection of food and cakes was amazing. Highly recommend a visit. The staff were all lovely.

My favourite place for coffee, and breakfast/lunch in Stamford. Gemma and Dean are always so welcoming as are their staff. A must visit if in Stamford!

Good food , great atmosphere and decent location make it best choice for lunch or afternoon tea highly recommended

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!

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!

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.

It is always a pleasure to visit, great food, service and staff. Always made to feel welcome and never had a bad meal, coffee, or slice of cake. I travel more than 20 miles for cake and coffee past my local tea room... need I say anymore!!!
