Here is the other side of the menu. Often in cafes you can only order ' a pot of tea' rather than a cup of tea. Each customer receives a small individual teapot and there is usually enough tea and milk provided for at least two cupfuls. You order ' a pot of tea for one' or ' a pot of tea for two'. If you order for two you normally get one bigger pot which you share. The cream tea is also explained in the British foods section.

The cakes here were all home made. There was a wooden dresser on one side of the room with lots of cakes displayed. You just chose which one you wanted and the waitress would cut you a slice and bring it to your table.

 
This tearoom seemed to be run by the local ladies on a casual basis, I should imagine only in the summer months. There was a sign on the door saying that ' sometimes we open at 11am but sometimes we are here earlier and sometimes we are here late in the evening - if it is a nice day'. So I cannot tell you opening times! If you are ever in Studland just ask someone for directions, it is a small village and everyone would know where the tearooms are. If you visit the ancient church, the tearooms are nearby.
