"A unique afternoon tea experience with a great variety of vegan options. I would definitely recommend. We had:- Scones, Cream and jam. Sandwiches with beetroot and horseradish humous and cheese and cucumber. Chocolate cake with bats. Cupcake with a skeleton Cauldron filed with Eaton mess with summer fruits, meringue and cream in lemon hot tub. Macaron and a poison bottle filled with pink lemonade."

"What a fabulously mystical experience! The staff were so friendly, warm, and inviting. Once we were cloaked and crowned in our witchy attire, we were guided into what felt like an enchanted woodland — peering into the witch’s cottage where the real magic happens. The entire experience was spellbinding from start to finish — from potion and spell-making, to tea-sipping, a fabulous afternoon tea with Prosecco, and ending with a beautifully insightful card reading. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a truly magical experience — it was pure enchantment from beginning to end!"

"Had an amazing afternoon tea here a few weeks back! The lady running this is so fun and kind to talk to, and it's such an immersive day. Didn't feel rushed at all, and we were just left to drink it all in (literally). Help was always on hand if we needed it, though! Tarot readings, spell jars, and personalised tea concoctions - I'd definitely suggest this place for anyone for anyone wanting to get a bit more in touch with the magical side of life"

"My Daughter took me for an early Birthday treat today for Afternoon Tea at The Cauldron Cafe Emporium. What a truly magical place and so atmospheric. The owner was very welcoming and attentive (we had a little bell to ring if we required anything) otherwise we were left to get fully immersed in the experience without interruption. We had such fun blending our own herbal teas, making little spell bottles and reading oracle cards for one another. The selection of savoury and sweet food that was bought to our table was absolutely delicious and so creative and fun to eat. I cannot recommend this experience enough, if you haven’t been and thinking of going, you won’t be disappointed"

"Came here to celebrate a birthday and what a truly magical experience it was. The energy and atmosphere are calm and meditative. From the grinding of your own herbs to make your own blend of herbal tea, to the little potion bottle to take home, to the fabulous cream tea you are served. The host is an amazing lady who has created a fun and enlightening experience"

"Absolute must for all magic enthusiasts. The atmosphere was amazing and the room was decorated beautifully with lots to look at while you do the activities. The owner is such a beautiful soul and you can see the amount of time and energy she has spent making this an unforgettable experience. Catering for everyone at no additional charge was a bonus as I’m vegan. From brewing your own tea to making a spell to take home, this experience was worth every penny and definitely worth the drive up"
