The Old English Tea Shoppe

We drove for a proper English breakfast and realized our mistake which was timing. They stop serving it at 11a. Not a problem we ordered bangers and mash, a bowl of cheddar and cheese soup. Hot chocolate and a cuppa. We were served our food very quickly but the tea never came and as we sat and enjoyed the food the place filled up, two tables empty at one point. The employees were very kind and even allowed us to drink something we’d brought in. As we received our check I reminded my server of the missing tea and she apologized profusely, it was truly not a problem and she made sure I left with it. We shall definitely be returning for brekkie 😉 and likely book a tea. Such a lovely place, I’d recommend to everyone.

Absolutely phenomenal food. We had the Sunday roast dinner, ham, eggs and chips, chicken and mushroom pie as well as a pot of Yorkshire tea. The gravy on the roast is divine! The flake of the pastry is perfection. Every layer of food is seasoned perfectly, you can tell they take care in making each item. Not pictured was the chocolate cake and sticky toffee pudding which were the best I've had, particularly the pudding. The owner and staff are very kind and welcoming. This has become a new favorite spot for our family.

Stopped by for a Sunday breakfast, It was crowded, but there were a few empty tables. Was immediately greeted by Dr. Rob who inquired if this was my first visit and took the time to explain the menu and concept since it was was my first visit.

Allison also came to the table to explain the menu, make some recommendations, and answer any questions. Ordered some Tetley Tea while looking at the menu. Finally decided on a Pie, Bangers & Mash, Cucumber Cream Cheese Sandwich. The plates came with 1 side, so opted for the Cabbage.

Enjoyed the tea while the food came out about 10 minutes later. Food was good, especially the pie as it had a nice flaky crust. My favorite part of the meal was the dessert. Allison made the best recommendation of the Sticky Toffee Pudding. I would come back just to have this for dessert.

All the staff were very friendly and made sure everything was going well. Will come back to try more of the menu and sit on the outside patio on a nice day.

I took a moody 13 year old along with me to get some fish and chips at The Olde English Tea Shoppe. We arrived at 1:30pm Friday afternoon, and the place only had two tables empty and the parking lot was packed. A single server was helping the front of the store and he seated us immediately. I did not have a reservation.

I was surprised by how nice this place felt, with real ceramic plates and metal cutlery and vinegar in carafes on the table, it felt more like a sit down restaurant than a chippy shop by far.

We both got the fish and chips with mushy peas and it was absolutely fantastic. The plates came out in minutes after ordering, the breading was light and crisp and the fish was tender and perfectly cooked. I've never tried the fish with vinegar before, but with it table side, I couldn't help but try and it was delicious. I cleaned my plate and my 13 year old finished everything but his peas (of course).

Service was excellent, and we were checked on frequently by not only our server but nearly everyone working there.

I grabbed a sausage wrap to go, and it was a buttery flaky pastry wrapped around a delicious sausage. It fell apart in my car so I'll be picking up pastry crumbs for a few weeks, but, still worth it.

They do have a 10% military discount. All the food and 2 canned sodas came out to about $40 pre-tip. Will definitely make the trip again from the west side to try the bangers and mash and hopefully a toad in the hole if that makes an appearance.

We decided to try @theoldenglishteashoppe for lunch today. It's another new restaurant in the Stone Oak area.

We all had teas. Sunday's special is the Pot Roast and hubby tried it. Overall, he felt it was good but would have preferred the mashed potatoes. Dad and I shared the Quiche, which came with 2 sides. I chose the mashed potatoes and salad. We thought to also try the Cottage Pie and Sausage Roll. Cottage Pie is similar to Shepherd's Pie but using ground beef instead of lamb. I was hoping to try their Fish and Chips but they're only served on Fridays. They also have high tea.

Dr. Rob, one of the owners, came by to check on our table. Since they're fairly new, they're still working out the service.

Check them out!
