Mad As A Hatter & The Tea Party

Now this little tearoom only opened today. I was one of the privileged few to have stepped through the doors of this amazingly quirky and colourful venue. The theme is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Not surprising really, considering the owner/​proprietor also has a gift shop called Mad As A Hatter directly opposite!
The tearoom, aptly named The Tea Party! (what else!?) is very child friendly, with high and low chairs, with pushchair & wheelchair access, two toilets (one of which is also the nappy changing room) a selection of reproduction, upcycled, ornate seats and chairs to choose from, it provided a cornucopia of dizzying delights to bombard the eye with an original look to an otherwise oft neglected part of Bearwood.
As a stand out, it really provides a change from the generic high street cafes and as an independent café/​tearoom. It’s going to offer a «library» where patrons can simply read or work on their tablets/​laptops or other electronic devices, a «gallery» for local artists and photographers to display and sell their work, craft workshops and rooms to hire to either demonstrate/​teach «crafty» things or simply have a small party! The whole concept or venue really offers good value for money and can easily become the creative community hub of Bearwood. Watch this space! It’s open 9.30am until 5pm.
