Lemon Tree Tea Rooms

Lemon Tree Tea Rooms sits comfortably as a cafe within Epworth’s garden centre, offering a casual spot for locals and visitors to pause over a range of reasonably priced food and drinks. It serves as more than just a place to grab quick refreshments; the space combines both indoor seating and a tidy outdoor area, which is particularly welcoming on sunnier days.

Visitors often drop by mid-morning or around lunchtime, finding the cafe pleasantly busy but still relaxed enough to enjoy a slow cup of tea or coffee. While service operates on a self-service model, hot meals and snacks are brought directly to tables, making it easy to settle in without feeling rushed. Portions tend to be generous, with hearty options like meat and potato pie or vegetable lasagne often satisfying for a casual lunch. A notable draw is the variety of cakes, which come in sizeable slices and appeal to those with a sweet tooth.

The atmosphere feels straightforward and practical, typical of a spot attached to a garden centre, blending the quiet background bustle of the retail space with a light, inviting café vibe. Occasionally some busier mornings or less smooth staff coordination may be noticed, but the overall environment is clean and well looked after. It fits well as a local go-to for either a restorative break during shopping or a Sunday lunch option when other places might be closed.

This cafe suits visitors looking for uncomplicated comfort food and a no-fuss setting. Garden centre visitors, families, and anyone passing through Epworth on a weekend will likely find it a convenient spot to pause and recharge. Traditional teatime moments or casual weekday coffees work equally well here, especially if sitting outdoors is on offer when the weather cooperates.
