We serve Pilgrims Coffee, locally roasted on Holy Island, and delicious ice-creams from Doddington Dairy in the Glendale valley.
There's no need for pre-booking for items from the daily menu whenever you visit us, but you will need to pre-book our special celebration afternoon tea. Dogs are welcome in the Courtyard or Harness Room.

Dog friendly
We are definitely dog-friendly! The tearoom has plenty of outside seating on six picnic tables in our lovely sheltered courtyard, where dogs are welcome. If it’s wet, retreat to our cosy Harness Room which is perfect for humans and their furry friends to sit inside. Please keep your dog on a lead and be sensitive to other guests, furry and human.

History of the Stables Tearoom
The Stables Tearoom at Paxton House has found a home in the Georgian East Wing of the house which was the original stable used by the Home family horses. In its bright modern interior, the tearoom retains many of the original stable fittings including the painted stalls where once the family hunters, carriage and riding ponies were housed. Today these stalls make rather good partitions between tables while the tables in the open area of the room have a view across the entrance courtyard of the house to the Georgian kitchen in the West Wing.
