The Old Bakery Tearooms in Cotswold

Three of us had an enjoyable lunch in a covid-safe environment. Being able to book a table was helpful. Friendly service.

We came across this wonderful restaurant by chance. Good old-fashioned service and real homemade food. Cheese scones were truly amazing.

We popped in just looking for a tea or coffee before setting off exploring again. Fantastic, friendly service and the homemade cakes & scones were delicious and very reasonably priced. Give them a go you will not be disappointed.

Probably the best cream tea we have ever had.Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely visit again.Thank you

We made a special trip to Stow from our home in Northampton so that I could have one of the Old Bakery's exquisite gluten free teas. Not only the best I have ever had but the best value.

Alan and Jackie couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly to us as we made a reservation, what a lovely quaint tearoom as well, and the cream teas were divine! Gluten free available too and most delicious!

have been here many many times over the last 15 years and have always had excellent cuppa food and welcome. Alan usally serves us and always lovely.

We found The Old Bakery by accident whilst visiting Stow.The service was excellent and the food freshly cooked.We would recommend The Old Bakery to everyone.

Beautiful freshly made scones with cream tea and quiche with refreshing salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.

How lucky were we!!! A table for four had just become available for lunch. I would think its probably better to try to book a table at this amazing tea room to avoid disappointment. We had a mixture of jacket potatoes, savoury crumpets & a perfect sandwich. Everything promised on the menu is true!

Heard really good things about this sweet little place and it lived up to my expectations! Their gluten free scones are absolutely delicious. Very good value and friendly service. Bookings for lunchtime are highly recommended to avoid disappointed.

We stopped here for a pit stop in between hiking. Alan was so welcoming and friendly, and the cream tea was the most delicious we've ever had - the scones were out of this world! I would recommend booking - countless people tried and failed to get a table whilst we were there. It's v v popular and now we know why!

Great service, great cake, fair price for Stow-on-the-Wold. Highly recommended and COVID responsible.

We visited during half term so made a reservation beforehand. I would recommend booking as I saw many people being turned away. The cream tea was amazing - warmed scones, very generous helpings of clotted cream and jam. Alan was very friendly and you can tell him and his wife really enjoy what they do. Our children had the cheese melts which they both loved too.

Stopped in Stow for lunch. Good job I used trip advisor to find a place to eat. The Old bakery is hard to find. It's at the end of a small shopping arcade. There is signage but there nothing that can be done about it. Make sure you spend the time to find it, its worth it.A small place very Covid secure, lovely atmosphere, the story behind why the couple set up is amazing. They really love what they do. Conversations are good. Food is freshly prepared and therefore there is a little wait, but that is ok because its fresh. Toilet is really clean. I can't complain about anything. Price of food is reasonable. I am so glad I found this place and I will be returning when I travel through Stow.To avoid disappointment book in advance, even on the same day book in advance.

My husband and I booked in advance due to covid . We turned up a little early but was able to sit at our table right away. The Tea room is small, but there were dividers between tables and although old fashioned, it was clean and well looked after. The owner was polite and made friendly conversation and I notice a few times after handling money and cards, he would sanitise his hands and he wore a mask throughout. We didn't have to wait long for our orders (and I don't eat much) and when it did come, it was really substantial. We especially loved how the salad was put together, nothing was left out. For an extra treat, we took home a slice of hm lemon and coffee cakes. Delicious! Thank you so much for a delightful lunch.

What a little gem this place is! Upon arriving at Stow on the wold we had a look on Trip Advisor to get an idea of places to visit and we were not disappointed by this find. I’d definitely suggest calling in advance and booking as it was clearly popular. Alan was so welcoming, was just like speaking to an old friend! They have clearly taken all the precautions they can re Covid, and we felt very safe and well looked after. My husband had steak platter and I had ham and eggs, the food was amazing, so homely and punching above its price point (we couldn’t believe the cost, we would have been happy to pay double!). Home cooked ham, homemade salad dressing, great portions! You can tell that this couple love what they do, and they work very hard to maintain an exceptional standard, we can’t wait to visit them again.

We found this place on a drizzly day in Stow-in-the-Wold and I’m so glad we did! We were lucky enough to get a table and seemed to arrive just at the right time as so many other customers had to be turned away because it was full. The tea room is small and has a very cute, old fashioned feel to it, just like tea rooms should be! The gentleman who served us (and I believe who also owns it) was very friendly and cheery and took our order swiftly. We both ordered a scone with jam and cream and I ordered a hot chocolate and my husband a latte. The scones were so delicious! Homemade and warm, with beautiful homemade jam! My hot chocolate, made with melted chocolate, was soooo good! So chocolatey, like a hug in a mug, just what you need on a cold, damp day! Could not recommend this tea room more!

Lunch choices were excellent, fresh mixed salad and home-made quiche, bacon muffin. Good proper loose leaf tea with warm & light as a feather scones. Very friendly service by the owner. Covid-19 safety measures respected, screens between tables etc.

Very pleasant little family run eatery and tea rooms. Would recommend a visit. Very Covid safe environment.

This place is a hidden treasure. All drinks are served in a coma chip and cream teas are beautiful, they could not be fresher. Very welcoming and very safe with screens up between each table.

We stumbled upon this place in the drizzle and were so pleased that we did. The gentleman serving us was fun, chatty and his service was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious and we ate more than we should have! Highly recommend the cream tea. We wanted to return on our way home, but it was too far out of our way. Please do visit this little gem. You won't be disappointed.

You cannot fault anything about this place. The food is to die for (try the scones!!) always served with oodles of cream! the sandwiches are filled to the brim and gorgeous. The service is friendly and warm and the atmosphere is just lovely. This is a very special place. We went for our anniversary in September and I went back a month later for my 30th Birthday. Honestly, it was awesome :) I should also mention that they are taking Covid seriously and you feel very safe. For me and my family that was very important.

We called in to Stow for a visit & found the tearoom. Staff very friendly & good measures had been put into place for COVID. We had a coffee& tried one of the large tea cakes which was delicious. Well worth a visit.

Travelled to Stow on the wold for a much needed break with the wife and came across this Hidden gem on trip advisor which had great ratings so decided to book. Once we arrived we were greeted by one of the friendliest gentleman I’ve ever come across so polite and chatty and very witty. We sat down and had a coffee and my wife had a gumbleberry juice (which was amazing) I then ordered the steak, jacket potato and salad which was huge and cooked to perfection with a free side of cheese and some homemade vinaigrette which again fantastic. My wife had the ham sandwich on granary with salad and kettle crisps the ham was by far the best ham I have ever tasted.All in all a fantastic place to eat and we will definitely be returning keep up the great work

Limpio, bien distanciado socialmente y sientes que es Covid seguro. Personal agradable que te hizo sentir bienvenido. Ambos tuvimos tocino y huevos con bollos que estaba delicioso. Té a granel real (no lo he tenido durante años). Excelente pequeño lugar. Vale la pena visitarlo si vas a Stow - on - the - Wold.

Una joya amigable con COVID. Las mesas bien distanciadas, reglas explicadas y comida deliciosa. Pantallas entre cada mesa. Cuando los clientes se iban, las mesas se limpiaban meticulosamente.

¡Qué pequeños salones de té encantadores! Buenas medidas de higiene, personal amable, porciones generosas, buena variedad de alimentos, precios razonables, ambiente relajado. ¡Gracias!

Tuvimos un almuerzo muy sabroso aquí. El dueño fue muy acogedor. No nos sentimos presionados en absoluto. La comida era deliciosa y el lugar se sentía muy acogedor y con un ambiente agradable.

Lots of lovely foods and cakes to choose from. Friendly staff. Great hygiene and safety measures in place.

Al llegar a Stow in the Wold necesitábamos un café por la mañana y nos encontramos con Old Bakery Tearoom.Después de una cálida bienvenida y de examinar el menú, terminamos con un té de crema y un pastel de té, ya que no pudimos resistirnos a las descripciones.No nos decepcionó. Cada parte de la comida fue perfecta. Incluso el pastel de té, que para mí suele ser solo un método para comer mantequilla, fue excelente.Merece una mención especial el trato amable y las medidas de Covid. Un lugar absolutamente encantador.

Really lovely food and people. Highly recommended. Cream tea was superb and the service was very attentive.

Lovely lunch and cakes for 4, all freshly prepared, lovely service and extra tea offered if needed, very clean and neat, we felt very covid safe.

We ordered hot drinks and two slices of cake. Cakes were delicious. Very friendly gentleman who served us, as we were sharing both slices of cake he cut each cake slice in half for us so we had no need to do so ourselves. Clean premises.

Visited today, excellent home made scones lovely & fresh, sandwiches delicious, felt really wanted as a customer -great hospitality!

We came across The Old Bakery Tearooms by chance while on holiday and I’m so glad we found it. The owners have done a first class job to meet Covid guidelines by partitioning tables to make you feel at ease and provision of hand sanitizer. Our lunch was absolutely delicious- two cheese melts, one with onion and one with tuna. The melts were fantastic, as was the coleslaw but the accompanying salad was exceptional - beautiful, fresh, good quality ingredients with a home made dressing which was sublime. Alan was really friendly, welcoming and courteous; it’s obvious that he and his wife Jackie go out of their way to provide a great customer experience. All in all a fabulous lunch, and the loo could very easily get a “Loo of the Year” award for its cleanliness and hygiene. We will most definitely return for more before we go back home.

Everything was excellent - scones fresh and delicious, jam homemade and full of flavour. But I wanted to leave a review mainly because of the service from Alan - I messed up the booking and arrived an hour late. Alan called me to check we were coming and held the table despite being full and having to turn customers away. The courteousness was not lost on us and obviously says a lot about the ethos and values of the proprietors. Everything was excellent about the visit and I hope to be back!

My fiance and I so enjoyed our lunch here. The food is generously portioned and utterly delicious, made with love and care. Alan was so friendly and made us feel really welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and slabs of mouth watering home made cake (I'm still thinking about it nearly a week later).Thank you for a delightful experience, would definitely recommend and will visit again if in the area.

We ate here on Saturday, our first outing since the pandemic started. I’d been a bit apprehensive, but need not have worried. Alan and Jackie have gone to extraordinary lengths to make dining not only delicious (as always), but as safe as possible. We’ve missed coming to the best tea room in the Cotswolds, and the food was as scrumptious as ever. Looking forward to our next visit.

What a great find.Has good safety procedures. Friendly. Absolutely delicious cream tea. Home made jam and scones were yummy.Looking forward to return visit.

Alan & Jackie have clearly made sure the Old Bakery Tearooms are COVID secure!Screens in between each table and well spaced anywayHand sanitizer everywhere Coffee and crumpets were lovely dripping with butter!Well done!

We managed to get a booking for lunch (luckily) & I’m so glad we did because so many people were getting turned away. We loved that this place was small but food made with love...everything tasted fresh & it’s a shame we couldn’t make it back for another lunch date! Alan, thank you for making the time for a chat, your story touched us, your food filled us & the home made jam is so yummy that I’m still thinking about it! We hope to come back again. Seema & Vips

A wonderful tearoom with a fabulous menu and plenty of choice. The food was of a high quality, delicious and great portion size. Jackie’s scones are to die for. Alan is a wonderful host, incredibly friendly, approachable and kind. I cannot recommend The Old Bakery Tearoom high enough. A MUST visit if you are in the area.

On a wet and windy day we stumbled upon this gem and were not disappointed. Food, service and value 5 star. Food freshly prepared. Scones the best. FELT EXCEPTIONALLY SAFE AT ALL TIMES.

Our first meal out since lockdown and felt perfectly safe. All guidelines meticulously observed yet still the welcoming friendly atmosphere we remembered. And the cream tea with Jackie's world-renowned scones are still simply the best.

Right from the very start of my experience with tearoom I had wonderful service. I rang in the morning and the owner was very helpful and was able to squeeze my booking in. When we went to the cafe we were greeted by Alan who was very friendly and was lovely to chat to. The menu was extensive and there is something for everyone and there is also a great range of yummy cakes. The atmosphere is really calm and laid back which is perfect for lunch. It felt very safe, with hand sanitiser, screens and you pay at your tables. I would definitely recommend the tea room - but be sure to book so you don't miss out!

This place offered one of the nicest cream teas I've ever had and an amazing lunch menu. All the food was exceptional and couple who run it are lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Wonderful hidden gem that is worth looking out. Recommend booking in current circumstances so not disappointed.Husband and Wife team, Alan is warm, friendly and excellent customer service. Jackie whipping up culinary delights that are tasty and appetising to look at.Wanted a Ploughmans from childhood memories with my grandparents treating me whenever got taken out and was not disappointed. Winning combination of great customer service and quality food.Thoroughly recommend and support.

Always have amazing food and service during every visit - all homecooked and freshly made, gret experience even during this Covid time.

We to Old Bakery Tearoom today & luckily managed to get a table without booking. (Lucky cos many turned up with no booking & were sent away!)I'm for a quick coffee but had cream tea as well. Really lovely scone & ample cream & jam so no worries about scrimping on quantity. Service second to none as well.Shame the place is small (& cosy) cos well worth the visit.One thing I would add is, If you do book please make sure you attend. While we were there many got turned away due to pre-booked tables & then found out some never bother to turn up. Shame on you whoever you are. Place is too small to be able to survive with having tables left empty for too long.See you again in 15 years!!

Great to see our favourite Cotswold tea room back in such fine fettle and rising above the current challenges. Food and service perfect as ever. This was our first meal out since February and we couldn't have wished for a better experience. Alan & Jackie have gone the extra mile to make their establishment safe whilst keeping everything friendly. You guys are a shining example of how to get back to business after the social and economic shock we're all going through. Hope you go from strength to strength and customers old and new keep supporting you. If we lived closer we wouldn't hesitate to visit more frequently.

The service was fantastic and the food excellent. Everything freshly cooked i had the stilton and bacon sandwich which you could everything was very good quality and the side salad and homemade dressing fantastic. My husband had the savoury crumpets which he loved.

Gorgeous, freshly baked, warm scones, delicious bread and excellent coffee. Reasonably priced and spotlessly clean, with friendly and efficient service. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, thank you.

My 3rd visit and once again our lunch was perfection on a plate. All social distancing guidelines were in place and tables are parted by screens. Booking was essential many people were turned away. The goats cheese salad was delicious with a mixed salad & balsamic vinegar dressing.

Managed to book a table for 5. However it was very busy so we had to wait a bit longer for our table. Nevertheless it was well worth the wait. The food was excellent, delicious and very well presented. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. In the end we even bought some cakes to take away. This is a highly recommended place as shown by this Tearoom being so busy. We highly recommend everyone to go there if you can to try out the food or the cakes. Would have rated over 5 out of 5 if we could. Excellent!

My fiancé and I stumbled upon this place whilst searching for cream tea during our visit to the Cotswolds, and I can thoroughly say we had the best lunch. This fantastic little place run by Alan and his wife is brilliant. So many options for food, big portions, great prices and undoubtedly the best homemade scones we have ever had. Alan was super friendly and ensured we were well looked after. The place was full and during our time there we saw at least 8 couples being turned away because it was fully booked all afternoon. That speaks for itself.Alan and his wife have done a fantastic job and I can see why they're always booked up. We really enjoyed the food, service and felt at home. The place was extremely relaxed as well with the covid safety measures that were in place. We will definitely be returning again on our next visit to the Cotswolds. Thanks Alan!

Booked a table here after seeing the great reviews and we were not disappointed. We received a lovely warm welcome from Alan who provided brilliant service throughout. The food was fantastic, clearly all home cooked. I had the savoury crumpets which were out of this world! Portions are very generous so we opted to share a piece of cake afterwards which Alan cut up for us to save any squabbles! I would not hesitate in coming back here if we visited the Cotswolds again. Absolutely superb, thanks for a great lunch!

Just try anything; the food is home-made; you can feel the authentic taste.The attention to detail is more than evident; the owner even polished the cutlery before handing them over.Very clean spaces, bathroom included.Bravo to the couple for the service and the keen efforts.

Customer service - was absolutely amazing. We were made to feel right at home! A business that’s ran by a lovely husband and wife and their passion for the business shines through their warm welcome and impeccable food!Food - we both had soup of the day and a sandwich each and both of our meals were beautiful, the bread was so fresh and the soup was one of the best soups I’ve ever tasted!Pricing - my soup and sandwich came to just under £9, there was so much food! I couldn’t finish it all, excellent value for money.My mum also loves a good scone with jam and cream and as she was too full, she asked if she was able to take a couple away with her. Her words once she ate her scone were “Oh wow, that woman can cook!” We honestly cannot recommend this gem enough!

Booked a table at 2am for mid day, the cafe is simply amazing. I would say the cream tea is a must however having tried the quiche and sandwiches I can honestly suggest closing your eyes and picking anything... it is going to be incredible!! The guys there are so lovely and their Covid19 measures are solid, no concerns about transmission.

Stow was very busy on a rainy summer Saturday afternoon. This in itself was a joy after so many months of empty or fairly empty streets everywhere. We were really lucky to find the Old Bakery tucked away and with an empty table. Excellent food at a very reasonable price. Everything was fresh and delicious and Alan was a frindly host. Dividers between tables existed but were unobtrusive so it really felt as if we were back in the real world. Will definitely return when next in Stow and would absolutely recommend.

My boyfriend and I visited this tea room yesterday afternoon. Alan was very friendly and chatty. Cream tea was delicious, very well priced £6 for tea (fresh tea leaves) 2 scones, and unlimited jam and clotted cream! Very sweet China tea cups also!If in Stow again, will definitely revisit, recommend to anyone!Thanks Alan (the couple from Harpenden :)

Lovely tea room and a friendly helpful owner. Hand gels and screens between tables make if as safe as possible. Great tasty breakfast using good quality products. Would certainly call back in if in area

We visited based on the reviews and were fortunate to get a table shortly after opening. The owner was great - attentive and showed a genuine interest in his customers. The setting is small and cosy, heightened by the necessary dividers between tables as a result of social distancing requirements. The food was fantastic. Very big portions and great value. Recommend the coronation chicken with jacket potato. All in all, a great place for a spot of lunch.

To start, we were greeted by Alan who when I prompted that we had a booking he knew who I was by name, which I thought was surprisingly nice and taken aback really! A really nice touch even if not meant.We sat down and ordered the steak (with hash browns) and the one with salad.I couldn’t gauge whether the restaurant was busy or not as there are screens up to protect all diners which is fine for us right now, but Alan was extremely friendly and was very chatty which was lovely, and made us feel very welcome. I didn’t feel like it was forced or anything and was a really nice touch and you really felt the family fun restaurant vibe with that. The food was also lovely and nothing was left to waste!If we were to return to Stow we would happily return and would also recommend to all friends.Thank you Alan for being so lovely!

An excellent meal at a very reasonable price. Warm and efficient service. Highly recommended. Covid directions and social distancing fully observed.

Have a lovely lunch at a very welcoming tea room tucked away off the high street.wonderful quiche sandwiches and cream rea

I must say Alan Slough was amazing. We went for lunch at the old bakery tearoom and asked for a ploughman’s split for 3. It came out all separate and the most wonderful warm rolls. The scones, cream and jam were just divine. Contact tracing forms given out and very clear guidelines in the restrooms. An excellent place to visit if you go the stow on the wold.

We visited today. Pre-booked our table which is advisable as this little tea room is a hidden gem. Cheese melts are delicious and so is the elderflower and orange cake. Alan and Jackie are wonderful hosts. No trip to Stow is complete without a visit here. Everything in place for Covid prevention, screening, sanitising, distancing. But still a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Well done so good to see you back doing what you do best.

Went today as it opened on Wednesday for the first time since lockdown. Glad to say the food standard and service remains second to none. Screens to ensure social distancing have been installed and we both thoroughly enjoyed returning for the first time since lockdown. Thank you so much.Ian and Sue Irwin.

Homemade scones, homemade jam, and great coffee. Host was great. Screens now between tables to keep everyone safe. What more could you ask for? Can highly recommend.

A warm welcome on arrival,home made food,my friend had stilton and mushroom soup and i had a very nice stilton ploughmans with home made fig chutney,also on the menu was home made quiche which I wish I had bought to take home but I didnt think of it until the drive home.The menu invites you to stay as long as you like and that would not have been a chore

We called in here today for lunch, definitely worth a visit! A good selection of food on the menu whether you want a cream tea or a full lunch. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly service. Will be calling in again if we head this way again!

A lucky find whilst ambling around Stow on the Wold. A small cafe set back from the road, might easily be missed. Once we’d opened the door it looked charming with fresh flowers on the tables. The owners clearly take pride in the food and service. We ordered Brie and cranberry sandwiches and a cream team so we could share both. When the sandwiches came they had been served on 2 plates with a generous salad garnish on each. The dressing came separately and was home made. The scones were warm, fresh and delicious. We were given a choice of home made jams and both this and the cream were in ample quantities. We opted for tea and got a pot of proper loose leaf tea.The owner was lovely and chatted to us. What a super place, definitely one to recommend.

we just popped in to the old bakery tearoom .its so clean and nice clean tablecloths on tables and glass what my drink came in was clean no lipstick on it .we two cream teas and the scones came up warm and strawberry with them was lovely mmmm .its a small place it's only got 7 tablets to sit and eat at .its small place it does get very warm in here and theirs a window in the roof what opens for fresh air to come .the service is good and staff are friendly and good prices and lovely place for lunch etc

This is a hidden gem in Stow on the Wild. Such a lovely little place run by a lovely couple. So friendly and I shan't say what but there is a poignant leaflet on the table which I'll be totally honest bought a tear to my eyes. Anyway the service was top notch and a lovely cappuccino with a scone strawberry jam and cream was a delight. Please visit this tea room you will have a lovely experience

We found this place just off the main shopping street in Stow. Excellent light meals with fresh food nicely served.

We came here due to the amazing reviews and it didn't disappoint. It's so cute in here, very relaxed subtle music playing in the back ground. We were lucky to be seated straight away by Alan and given a menu which has so many options, vegetarian, gluten free and everything in-between. We opted for latte, cappuccino a tuna melt and a scone. When Alan took our order he asked why I wasn't eating so I made a joke and said I'll share his, his being my husband haha. So when it came he had halved it and done a plate each for the lunch and the scone. It was such a lovely and much appreciated gesture. The food is made all fresh by his wife Jackie. The scones were absolutely delicious 'oh wow'!! Warm and just heaven.The food is reasonably priced and worth it.When you sit there you realise in the menu there is a very touching story of them and owning the tea room, where their son took his own life. So very sad but share it in an open and understanding way of showing how they coped with grief. Real credit.Thank you for your hospitality and delicious food.

Wow, simply wow. I have been fortunate enough to enjoy afternoon tea on many occasions, at many a fine establishment, as my waistline will testify to, but this place that I visited today with a party of four did not disappoint. No reservation made in advance, we just turned up at 11.30am and got seated immediately. The owner was very hospitable and had a great sense of humour. I liked the crack about charging me double because we had all visited his Tea Room directly from Cheltenham ;-) We all ordered the homemade sweet potato soup, served with bread and butter. It was sweet, flavoursome and delicious. The portion size was generous and it was piping hot. We ordered their famous Afternoon Tea, so freshly baked scones that were hot and smelt fantastic were served. The accompanied clotted cream and strawberry jam was amazing. I’m not sure where the strawberry jam or the fresh clotted cream was sourced from, but I was not disappointed with the freshness and the taste. We ordered English Breakfast tea and this worked a treat to wash down those amazing scones. The price was reasonable, the ambience was excellent and we will be sure to visit again. Thank you very much from all of us. Your warmth and kindness was clearly evident to see. You helped make our trip to Stow on the Wold a pleasant one. All the best to you and your lovely business.

Popped in here for a hot drink and scone and my goodness it was amazing!The scones were fresh and homemade and came out warm from the oven, honestly the best scones we've ever had! My husband had a coffee and I had a hot chocolate which was also devine.Couldn't believe how cheap it was when we paid! The value for money is amazing for how lovely the food is.Gutted that it's closed Thursdays so we didn't get to pop back for another scone before leaving!

We wanted to have a small lunch and found this old bakery tea room hidden at the back of a small shopping area. What a find. We had (we thought) decided on a jacket potato with the usual salad and filling (see photo). Oh my goodness, it was huge and so nice. One of the best places we have visited.

We've tried to visit here 3 times in the last couple of year and every time it ha been shut. This time we tried on a Saturday but it was still shut. Won't bother trying again.

Excellent food, warm welcome, highly recommended. All set in a fabulous old bakery in the heart of the cotswolds

A lovely warm welcome. We were shown to a table, which is a nice touch. Went in for something to eat & a hot drink. When we had finished they said that we could stay as long as we liked as the weather was shocking, which was a lovely thoughtful gesture. Most definitely will go again.

A wonderful Valentine’s cream tea with my husband. I ordered a decaf tea, my husband had regular, I ordered the cream tea with homemade forest fruits jam and my husband had the Gluten Free cream tea with strawberry. Everything was so delightful, and service with a smile and side of welcome conversation. We weren’t rushed and reminded we could stay as long as we wished, no rush for the bill, no rush to clear the table, just wonderfully able to enjoy each other’s company and our lovely surroundings. Please make sure when visiting you take the time to read about the incredible couple’s story and the fantastic things they are doing (twinning bathrooms, writing books, offering advice!) Customer service is perfect in this little tea room and we are so pleased we found this little treasure! We will definitely be recommending to friends and family, and hope to visit when in Stow next time around! Thanks for making our afternoon!

Only piped in for coffee and crumpets,but were make to feel very welcome.

Don't get here nearly often enough, but Alan and Jackie serve consistently delicious freshly prepared food, with ample portions, in a pleasant atmosphere, and attention to detail - can't recommend enough!

A little out of the way and easy to miss as it is at the end of a passage way but it is well worth the effort.

Had a lovely meal the host was wonderful and the food was piping hot and delicious went back the day after for a cream tea and that was to die for gorgeous and plenty of clotted cream and home made jam was beautiful thank you to the cook absolutely wonderful time

Visited on Saturday ,Only had a drink ,As we already eaten and wish we hadn't as food did look nice and the cakes looked lovely . Very nice and friendly Tea room . Will visit again if we are in the area ,and definitely have lunch and cake

Visited The Old Bakery on TripAdvisor recommendations. A bit out of the way through a mall so you could easily miss it.

We travelled from our home in Salisbury to The Old Bakery just for our breakfast. We'd been before for lunch and enjoyed it so much.. so we arranged a trip up today.

From the time we entered the service was excellent. The owners are so pleasant and helpful. We had a ploughmans lunch which was lovely, it was made even better as we could not make up our mind if we wanted four counties cheese or stilton and it was suggested we have 1 of each and do a swap. when it came it was already 50/50. We would recomend this to anyone and will definitely return when we go to stow again.The owners should be very proud their service is brilliant.

Disfrutamos mucho esta visita. Compartimos 2 bocadillos, queso fundido con jamón y un té con crema. También sabía delicioso, así que si volvemos a la zona, volveremos por más. Muy amable anfitrión con comida casera fresca.

Lugar muy pintoresco y agradable, la comida es excelente y los propietarios son muy acogedores. Definitivamente volveremos y lo recomendaría encarecidamente

We called in , as we were on holiday in the area. I have never eaten such a large tea cake, and tea served in lovely china cups. The host was very friendly and the service was excellent. It was very clean and inviting.The tables were continually full. When we are next in the area will definately call in.

Bright cheerful and friendly. Excellent service and choice of food. Plenty of space between tables which is unusual for a tearoom

Being local to Stow we hadn't visited the old bakery until recently.

The best hidden cafe in Stow. My sister lives in Stow and said I’ll take you for lunch to Alan’s. It’s often so full queues are forming to wait for a free table. We both had the goats cheese salad. It was delicious. Lots of veg in it, celery, peppers, onions, cucumber, grapes, tomatoes, walnuts, drizzled with balsamic vinegar. He raises lots of money for homeless people and his wife has written books to help understand tragedy. Lovely place run by lovely couple.

We had a lovely time at The Old Bakery Tea Room and Alan was a great and friendly host. The place was full when we arrived but Alan kindly reserved us a table for 25 minutes later and we returned after exploring the town for a little while. We had a cheese melt, savoury crumpets and scones with clotted cream and jam - all of the food was delicious and I'd highly recommend anyone that's in the area to visit. Service from Alan was above and beyond, went out of his way to cater to dietary requirements. We didn't manage to try them but the display of cakes looked pretty amazing too.
