Our Guestbook
“ After a fantastic day trip, hiking from Hen Cloud to Bearstone Rock and back we came to the Roaches tea room for some food. We found some place outside, which is fine as we have had our dog with us, they are not allowed inside, but the weather was beautiful, so no problems at all. Actually we could still enjoy the view . Food was served quite quickly and the portion size was more than satisfying for a really reasonable price. Actually I would have expected more. I have had chicken breast with creamy sauce, with garlic, mushroom and it was deliciously finished with herbs and boiled new potatoes or chunky chips It was very nice and I couldn't finish the portion. We have also been given for free, carrot with butter and herbs and cauliflower & broccoli backed with cheese. The staff was very friendly, cleanliness in the whole restaurant and the toilet was also on a good level. If I will be in the area again, I would definitely come back here again and will happily recommend this place to anyone else. ”

“ Beautiful little tea room with fabulous views! There's indoor and outdoor seating. Car park is small but you can park on the road and walk to it. Toilets are on site but not inside the tea rooms. The food was delicious! We really enjoyed our visit & hopefully will be back soon! ”

You have a beautiful place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, much needed on a day like yesterday. Service was excellent, the staff were polite and kind and greeted us with a smile as we walked in. We hope to back again soon. ”
