Dorchester Abbey Tea Room

We had not been to the Tea Room for over three years and were delighted to find it is homely as ever, with good tea and delicious cakes, all provided at bargain prices. This is a real gem.

We've been visiting Dorchester Abbey tearoom aka Lettice's) for about 30 years now and we still love it. In the old days you sat inside with anyone who happened to be there at a big round table and helped yourself to whichever cakes you fancied and totted up your own bill on a slate at the end. We loved that! It felt so trusting! Nowadays it's more like an ordinary tearoom and you order and pay before you eat but the homemade cakes are just as good as they always were and so is the tea. The volunteers are helpful and friendly and there is plenty of room to sit outside and a decent toilet). I recommend walking from Wittenham Clumps across the fields and over the river to look at the Abbey at have tea at Lettice's...

We stopped off here by chance after seeing a sign in front of Dorchester Abbey. The place was just about to close at 5pm but we managed to quickly get a slice of the lemon icing cake and some hot chocolates. We were not disappointed. The slices well slabs of cake were very generous indeed and so lovely and fresh too. Well worth a visit if you like to try lovely home made cake
