Bide A While Country Tea Room

A real hidden gem a real tasty, fabulous eating and friendly staff

Only back from a lovely natter over splashy cake in this device. very friendly owner and personal. the service was very attentive. the apple and heavenly was amazing. the environment was so comfortable and pretty. We strongly recommend this Wee location.

Went with a group of 10 men, from our shed , and we were served right royally. Had a substantial tasty home made brunch. Made on the spot and served with a smile. Can`t wait to go back,

We visited for a family luncheon and had booked the cabin which is situated in the adjoining garden area of the tea room. There were 10 of us and we all had a wonderful experience. It was very cold and wet outside but inside the cabin was very warm and cosy. When we arrived the log burner was lit and the cabin was very warm, a problem easily rectified by opening the door to allow it to cool a little. We were going to be tied to time so we pre booked both our tables and our food. Sharon had sent the menu a few days in advance as requested by me and we had all chosen our meals. The Christmas specials were an excellent choice. Baked potato with turkey, ham, stuffing and salad, or a festive toasted sandwich teamed up with the most delicious cranberry sauce. The service was fabulous with Sharon and her team attending to every detail. We had ordered a whole Tipsy Chocolate Orange cake and it went down a treat. Despite the rain and cold we felt warm and very well cared for. If you’re looking for something a little bit different, friendly and genuinely tasty home cooked food, you will not get any better than Bide a While. You can taste the quality in the food and Sharon only serves food cooked from wholesome ingredients made by herself or her chef.

A beautiful tea room and great friendly service. Though they managed to cater for me gluten and dairy free and not meat eater, the choice for me was ver limited. The menu was neat dominated. So I was very disappointed. Similarly for dessert, because of my intolerances in gluten AND dairy, it was only meringues and strawberry. There are huge choices now around with intolerances and I was disappointed to experience such a beautiful place was so limiting for me. We were a party of 5. The other person who was vegetarian found it limiting in choice but the two meat eaters were very satisfied. Service was friendly and efficient. I would love to make it a frequent gaunt but I feel the menu would have to offer more choices
