A cup of vintage charm
For those who like
their cuppa a bit
more sophisticated
than a tea bag
dunked in a mug, a
quaint and quirky
new vintage-themed
tearoom in Newport
is bound to fit the bill.
As its name suggests,
the Vintage Rose Tea
Room in Pyle Street is decorated
in a shabby-chic floral theme
and the teas and coffees come
elegantly served in traditional
china pots with cups and saucers.
Opened on July 30 by husband
and wife team Paula and Tony
Griffths, the 34-seat tea room
quickly created a flurry of
interest and some early satisfied
customers, who took to social
media to praise the ambience, the
service and the delicious homemade
cakes, teas and lunches.
Open Monday to Saturday from
9am – 4pm, the tea room
has a daily specials board
as well as a regular menu
of jacket potatoes, paninis,
salads, pancakes, soups
and all-day breakfasts.
Paula and Tony are also
offering to host baby
showers, hen parties and
birthday celebrations,
for which they will
open on a Sunday for
parties of 20 or more.
“The early feedback
has been great” says Paula.
“People love the fact that
we are so different.”
