WHEELWRIGHTS

for

LUNCHES AND TEAS

We’re open from Saturday through to Wednesday ~
10.30 to 5.00 from April to October ~
11.00 to 4.30 in November, December, February and March.
(In other words we close on Thursdays and Fridays!)

But we open on Bank Holidays other than Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Throughout the day, we serve Cream Teas (two home-made scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam), an ever-changing selection of home-made cakes, ice cream sundaes, freshly ground coffee or tea made from proper leaves (no tea bags!), as well as fruit teas, and espresso, cappuccino or latte coffee. AND we celebrate winter with home-made soup, served with our famous savoury scones.

Let our customers speak for themselves ~

"Scones and clotted cream and also tea is more delicious than Savoy Hotel of London" (Sudhana and Raj Sheth, Chelmsford)
"Always pop into the Wheelwrights for a scone and clotted cream - best in the South" (Gill, Brian, Joseph and Katie Martin, Hong Kong)

In the summer ~ and even in the winter if the weather's fine ~ we serve teas, coffees and cakes in our magical garden. We've grown the grasses, grape vines, trees and shrubs so that they make a series of open-air rooms, all with views out over the village to St Catherine's Chapel and the hills that shelter us.

Perhaps that's why we were nominated for a "Traveller's Choice" award by the prestigious American magazine "British Heritage" as one of the top six "hidden treasures" of Britain. And why we are featured in the national and regional "Teapot Trail" books, the AA/Tea Council guide to the country's best places for afternoon tea, and in several Dorset "teashop walks" books.
