Like stepping onto the set of Goodnight Sweetheart, The Fourteas Tea Room is styled as just that – a tea room from the 1940s, complete with original memorabilia, quirky staff uniforms and menus in the form of ration books which give a nod to the theatrical background of the owners, Ian and Rachael, former stage managers for the RSC. The Fourteas opened in early summer 2011 and serves a good selection of ethical teas and coffees with homemade cakes and warm scones made with locally sourced ingredients.

OUR TOP 10 RECOMMENDATION

The Best Coffee Shop in Stratford-upon-Avon

What is it? 
A small, independent, friendly coffee shop offering locally sourced produce including cakes, sandwiches and ice cream. Indoor and outdoor seating with a very private courtyard at the back. Very high quality, but slightly more pricey as a result. Brownies are of course, their speciality.
