This place is really famous as its been there so long, still run by the family and making Henry VIII Maids of Honour cakes.

They are also quite eco-minded and are taking part in the Greener Kew campaign to ban plastic bags and they also use free range chicken in the chicken pies.

This is a quirky little tea shop just near Kew Gardens. I’ve not had meals there but go there for tea and scones and snacks and they are nice. The history and setting and staff make it a great novelty for anyone new to London. It is like going into a time warp in there. Well worth a visit.

If afternoon tea is your thing then this the place for you,over the road from kew gardens its just the place for a nice cup of tea and one of their cakes.They make everything on site and their famous maids of honour cakes have over the years caused much debate over how they are made,even delia has had a go.
The history goes back about 300 years i think and there is nothing they dont know about cakes!
Apart for many cakes to choose from they also do lovely steak slice's and lunches,great wine list and they kid friendly.
If you go with friends please book as they get so busy and after around 11 there is a queue.
