Water Mill Tea Rooms, Ringstead

WELCOME TO THE WATER MILL TEA ROOMS

The perfect place for Afternoon Tea in Northamptonshire.

Iona and her team would like to welcome you to The Water Mill Tearooms.

Nestled in the village of Ringstead on The River Nene, our Tearoom offers a cosy place for you to unwind and enjoy our homemade treats.

Service is at the heart of our beautiful tearoom; you can always be sure to recieve a warm welcome and geniune smile from our fantastic team.

We welcome well behaved dogs in our garden and cosy lounge area of the tearoom. We only ask you not to take them through to the main dining room.

We source our ingredients locally; our meat comes from an award winning butcher in the next village, our eggs are all free range from a nearby farm and our dairy and vegetables come from our neighbouring village. The quality of our products are of utmost importance to us and we also really believe in supporting local businesses.

Breakfast is served from 9-11:30 am and lunch from 12-2:30 pm every day we are open.
We also serve a scrummy afternoon tea comprising of a selection of cakes, scones, sandwiches and savory tarts all homemade specially to order so we do ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice (based on availibility).

We sell gift vouchers for afternoon tea- these are valid for six months so you have plenty of time to pick a date to enjoy your gift!

As if homemade food and delicious beverages weren't enough, our Tearoom is set in a beautiful, historic mill; the original water wheels are still in working order and now turn to generate electricity for the building so come on in and experience all we have to offer!

All of our cakes, scones and other goodies are made by Iona and her team each day.

We always have at least one gluten & dairy free option as well as at least one vegan cake to tantilise your tastebuds!

Please be aware that we do use ingredients comprised of the key allergens in the kitchen on a regular basis so whist we make every effore to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, this cannot be fully eliminated.

I have visited numerous times since this beautiful cafe reopened and the new owners have surpassed themselves. Whether it's been for a morning coffee or lunch, it's always been brilliant. And this week my lovely friends treated me to a birthday afternoon tea, it was amazing! Beautiful sandwiches, amazing scones and outstanding cakes! So much on offer we had to take the rest home. We are so lucky to have this as our local cafe.

Have been 4 times already since it re-opened recently. Really warm friendly staff and gluten free cakes and dairy free options have been available every visit. I had the Gluten Free cherry and almond scone today with jam and cream which they made especially for me and believe me there wasn't a crumb left on my plate, it was gorgeous . Now they have a brilliant chef there as well so will definitely be trying lunch next visit.

Stopped off for a cream tea with the dog. I had a fruit scone with cream and jam, absolutely delicious light and warm. My partner had a pear, walnut and cheese scone with beetroot chutney. He said it was really tasty. We washed it down with pot of tea ...managed to get three cups each! Lovely place. We sat outside. Water bowls provided for the dog too.
