Welcome To Peacocks Tearoom Ely
 

A warm welcome in 2012 to old friends and new customers. We are open again, after a two week break that just gave us time to carry out a few repairs, lay a new carpet and add a few dishes to the menu.

For those who haven't found us yet, Peacocks offers all you would expect from a prize -winning, family-run English tearoom, and more: traditional cream teas, a homely atmosphere, delicious home-made lunches, a quirky menu, fabulous chocolate zucchini cake, welcoming staff, friendly customers, and the widest choice of teas in the world - we don't know of anyone else anywhere who can offer you teas from every continent.

We are lucky enough to have a lovely garden in a beautiful setting - overlooking the River Great Ouse in the market town of Ely with its stunning Cathedral. Ely is close to Cambridge and only an hour from London by train.

We are proud that the Tea Guild, in their annual awards in April 2011, again gave us an Award of Excellence, and that last year The Times newspaper named us in their top 5 places to have tea. Country Living magazine also listed us their favourite tearoom, so we have a lot to live up to. We keep looking for ways to improve.

If you have never been, let's hope you have the opportunity soon. We look forward to seeing old and new friends.

George and Rachel Peacock

Ely is a sleepy little town with a cathedral (which is meant to make it a city, no?) and has the finest tea rooms in Britain. And I can attest not only to the range of their teas but their quality. It was also the site of the most delicious quiche I have ever tasted. Rachel's salmon and asparagus combo will take a deal of beating.
