Hadleigh Tearoom

Welcome to our new trainee-led Tearoom, you’ll notice a difference!

When we came back to Hadleigh Training Centre after the pandemic, we decided that we wanted to do things differently in the Tearoom. We wanted to run it and do everything ourselves, and that’s what we’ve been learning ever since. This has meant making lots of changes – let's have a look at some of them.

To begin with, we will only be open on Monday and Friday each week. These are the first two trainee groups that are ready to be public facing, but the others aren’t far behind. Our opening hours will be from 11am to 2pm and you can have your table for the whole of that period, we won’t be rushing you out. But we do ask that you leave at 2pm promptly to allow us to perform our end of day tasks such as cashing up, cleaning down, stock checking and ordering.

To start with, we felt it would be easier for us to offer a small selection of food and, for now, we are restricting this to sandwiches, toast, teacakes and cakes. We have worked extremely hard perfecting our skills in this area and are proud of what we can deliver. When we have become accustomed to running a live service, we may be in a position to offer a more extended menu. Please note, for the same reason, that we cannot offer any dietary alternatives to the items listed on our menu at this time.
