Teapots is a charming, traditional tearoom nestled in the picturesque market town of Olney, Buckinghamshire. Step back in time and enjoy the vintage ambiance as you treat yourself to a delightful selection of homemade food, lovingly prepared on-site. Whether you’re joining us for breakfast, lunch, or our renowned afternoon tea, you’ll find a menu filled with timeless favourites that evoke the comforting flavours of days gone by.
Our homemade scones and cakes are a highlight for many visitors. Made fresh daily using traditional recipes, such as those from the Bero book, Mrs. Beeton’s classics, and even the beloved Saint Mary Berry, they’re a must-try for anyone craving a taste of authentic British baking. We are proud to be a family-run business that supports our local community by sourcing as many of our ingredients locally as possible, further enriching the flavours we serve.
At Teapots, we believe in offering something for everyone. Beyond our classic offerings, we also provide a wide range of gluten-free cakes and light lunches to ensure that customers with dietary requirements can enjoy the same level of quality and care. Our menu has been crafted to capture the essence of simplicity and authenticity, reflecting the home-cooked meals that your grandmother might have lovingly prepared.
Olney itself is a delightful town to explore, famous for its annual pancake race and rich history. The Olney Hymns, including the world-renowned “Amazing Grace,” were written here, adding to its cultural charm. For an enriching experience, we recommend visiting the Cowper and Newton Museum or the quaint parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul, both just a short stroll from our tearoom. When you visit Teapots, you’re not just sitting down for a meal — you’re experiencing the heart of Olney’s heritage, combined with the warmth of great food and even better company.
