Lovely little place,great staff and the food is fabulous. Definitely be back Jerry Brett28. July, 2022.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first visit to this established cafe. Staff were welcoming and the premises were clean and tidy. Prices were reasonable, I paid £6.10 for my cream tea. The scone was light and tasty although it was so crumbly that it fell apart when I buttered it. So I had to paste the cream and jam onto the fragments causing more disintegration and then pick the resultant crumbs up with my fingers. I was tempted to ask for a spoon as it would have been easier. As you can see from the picture I didn't get a lot of jam to play with. A little more would've been nice. I did get various pieces of fruit with it which was a nicer touch than the usual solitary strawberry you get with most cream teas. My companions all had cakes which were tasty but a little too small. However, they were not expensive so I guess it's swings and roundabouts. The cost of our repast was under £20 for the four of us which was impressive. I have seen similar portions in other establishments costing far, far more so kudos to Painters for being an accessible treat. Jennifer Castleman16.
