Oaken Tea Rooms - East Lindsey

An unassuming little place that offers a friendly welcome and excellent, attentive service. It's got a cosy, slightly bio/eco feeling with very interesting plants and an insect hotel outside the door. Menu is limited but more than adequate for a light lunch or afternoon tea....Nice music playing unobtrusively in the background too. A really great touch is their bottomless cup for tea or coffee. Blink and you'll miss this place as you drive along the busy and fast between Boston and Skegness. It's on a cross-roads just after the main Friskney village turn-off travelling NE. But DON'T miss it because it really is a worthwhile pit-stop. Opposite, down the lane towards the Wash, there is some brilliant wild walking.

My family and my husband and I all went to the oaken tea rooms yesterday, IT Was EXCELLENT the owner could not have been more helpful to us, our daughter is a vegetarian and he made sure that they had made enough to cater for...all her needs. There were a large variety of sandwiches for all of us,warm beef and ale pasties, scones,jam,cream a large variety cakes Christmas cake ,and chocolate mousse. As much tea or coffee as we wished!! Fresh fruit tarts. Everything was home made and fresh,it was excellently set out to meet our needs,they made you feel really welcome,we will definitely be back, Thank you.

We visited for afternoon tea today and all I can say is WOW! We have been to a few places in the past but this little place knocks the spots off anywhere we've been to before. We were very fortunate to spot this place on...our way to Butlins and booked a visit to end our holiday. Lovely tea and coffee and a good choice of sandwiches... salmon and cream cheese, lovely ham and mustard to mention just two which were tasty and very well presented, and the home made pasties were delicious. As for the cakes ... home made little scones were so light and the selection of cakes provided were lovely ... something for everyone from lemon meringues to little granola cakes to sumptuous chocolate mousse. Will definitely visit again next time we are in the area. Thorough recommended

Unfortunately the only coffee available was filter coffee. After chosen lunch from the specials board was advised they had run out, shame it hadn’t been taken off the board. Then advised there was no baguettes left but they could do sandwiches but only had white...bread. The table next to us was then told they had run out of bread, so guessed we had the last of the bread and it was only so not even at the end of the lunch service. We then ordered scones but unbelievably they only had two left and there was four of us. So we declined the offer of half of one each. The lunch we did have was enjoyable but I have never experienced a tea room that has ran out bread or scones before. They advised us they were busy the day previous, shame nobody went to the supermarket to stock up.

My husband took me for afternoon tea as we could not to away for our wedding anniversary. Did I enjoy it no it was dreadful, one sandwich which was not cut in the traditional finger, cakes were disappointing. Some sort of hot deep friend cheese,...ham and broccoli covered in better what was that about i wanted to be wowed by afternoon tea if you want a treat them to somewhere else. Good honest grub but certainly not quaint and quirky afternoon tea. Sorry
