'The Strawberry Teapot Tea Room & Cakery' is a wonderful find just of the main centre of Sudbury. A delightful tea room featuring a 1940's decor and a warm welcome to all who enter.
As you enter a tinkling 1940's bell behind the door announces your presence, an army overcoat and steel helmet hang from the coat rack giving the coeerect ambience, an aged record player awaits a handle turned and a Glen Miller record to play. Music of the era is heard from the rear of the shop where two young ladies, hair styled appropriately, serve delicious home made cakes with pots of real tea, strainers provided, with a smile and a high standard of efficiency.
The Thursday when we visited saw customers in the small front of shop enjoying a proper 'High Tea' with cakes stacked so high any schoolchild passing might have been tempted to enter. The smiles on the ladies when they were served said it all.
We enjoyed our visit, the environment of the cafe like the service was excellent, and while the prices were not sadly in 1940's pound, shillings and pence we were very satisfied with our visit.
A delightful tea room, not to be missed by any visiting this part of the world.

What a great place. It 's good to have a cafe thats different.
How I would love to visit a place like that! I would really get into and start humming "In The Mood" very loudly. They would kick me out! LOL!
That sounds delightful! Brought back memories of Fullers Tea Rooms and their walnut cake in the fifties too...
Dave, Great place indeed.
Kay, I think humming loudly would not go down well. But these people understand Yanks, there was a US B24 Bomber base just outside the town from 42 -45.
Fly, You would appreciate this place.
