Easter Monday, what shall I do today? Well checking the blog site gave me one idea, bearing in mind that I have a partner who is currently on crutches & can’t walk more than 200 metres. So I decided to go and start the process of testing out various eateries (purely I add for the benefit of this website – and at great sacrifice to myself!) For lunch we headed up to Edge Close Farm Tea Rooms, and having looked at their blackboard menu that included Roast Pork & Stuffing, Homemade Soup & other deletable dishes, we both opted for an All Day Traditional English Breakfast. The plate was full – including locally sourced bacon, sausages & oatcakes all washed down with Earl Grey Tea. We declined the homemade cakes & puddings (including the crumble and custard) because dessert was going to be taken at Alsop Church. (As advertised on this site.)
There we were greeted by Christine & her helpers & torn between which cake to choose – they all looked super & the ones we tasted were. The sun was blazing and we sat outside overlooking the valley, where else could be more perfect. It was lovely to see so many people coming and going and just enjoying themselves. If you missed out of this super afternoon I’ve included the details of the tearooms below & you can go to Alsop Church for Tea & Cake on any Bank Holiday Monday.

The sacrifices some people make! Should have joined you though actually baked a cake for the first time today since I was 17 with ingredients bought from our ever open shop!
It was worth the wait!
Did you mean the wait for the Easter Bank Holiday to arrive or the wait for the refreshments? If it’s the latter, I do apologise and will have a word with the staff about the speed of their service. ( You must have arrived with that large group of ramblers..)
We aim to please! Any special cake requests for May 5th??
As a grateful recipient of the cake in question, I can confirm that Graham was referring to the cake which his wife Amanda baked (see comment 1) – her first in all the time they have been wed, and certainly well worth the wait!
So fear not, Carrie – no slur was intended on your no doubt excellent and speedy service!
