A Cup of Tea and a Slice of Cake in the South-West

I've been working away from home recently in Plymouth, Devon. A wonderful place to go visiting this time of year! I was unfortunately working so saw hardly anything, but my husband went out for a few hours with a camera, to take some pix

On the way back, we were travelling in homeward, and just approaching Honiton, it was 5.30 in the afternoon, so getting a cup of tea in such a small market town was a bit of a long shot. Honiton is one of those old fashioned towns, they are famous for their lace making and definately not the sort of place where you'd see a fast food joint, more a place for tea-rooms. Thats exactly what we found ' The Boston Tea Party Tea Room and Cafe', YES, it was open .. at 5.30 pm

I was gobsmacked that we found somewhere to get a cup of tea at all, imagine how shocked I was to find I was in a tea-room that had orange and ginger gluten free cake

If you are ever in this part of the country check it out!



And a few more pictures, this time of Plymouth!

Hi there, I just found your blog and was reading the delicious recipes. If you ever come to the American South West, there is a proper English Tea room that also serves Gluten Free in the Albuquerque Area. That's in New Mexico. The Saint James Tea Room saved me from a life without scones as I cannot cook any longer.
