Coach House Tea Rooms - Wealden

After a walk around Sheffield Park we went into the Coach House Tea Rooms for some drinks and a snack. A limited Choice Both of which were Okay, but nothing more and a little overpriced but it served our purpose

The Coach house tea rooms at Sheffield Park originally built by the 3rd Lord Sheffield as coach house and stable block . Probably one of the best National Trust tea rooms I've been in and just the job for a nice latte after a walk around the gardens. Winston Churchill used to pop in for tea and to check on his beloved black swans . For a National trust cafe the prices aren't bad either.

The coleslaw was disappointing, with an extra charge of £2 for two unwashed lettuce leaves and a mixture of hard carrots and red cabbage. The £4 sausage roll was small and lacked flavor. The toasted sandwiches were hard and difficult to eat. It's a shame because this place has the potential to be a lovely tea room, but the food quality is lacking. The staff were friendly, but the dining room was a bit dusty.

The staff at this restaurant, including manager 'Emma', were extremely impolite. I would not recommend this place and do not plan on coming back.

This cafe looks quite appealing, but unfortunately the food options are extremely limited and uninspiring. I visited with a friend and we shared two sandwiches, which were just ok, although the “cheddar and red onion marmalade “ one seemed to be cheddar and cranberry sauce! The mistake we made was also ordering the flatbread with sun dried tomato houmous, which took an age to arrive, so long that we actually went and asked where it was after such a long time. When it arrived it was half a plate of what looked like pinkish baby sick and a cold, anaemic looking flatbread on the other side, no salad garnish, no appearance of a sun dried tomato. It tasted revolting as well, and the texture was of slop. The staff act like they couldn’t care less about anything. We won’t be revisiting this cafe again, we will go elsewhere.
