An aesthetically pleasing extension of the original church building, the Tearoom is warm and welcoming with a good choice of local produce on the menu. Staff are pleasant and helpful and the food we had was delicious. Special mention to the cakes, be sure to leave room for some!Afterwards you can browse round the excellent Antiques Centre, which really does have something for everyone.

I was told things about the tea rooms by friends so we went today for lunch the tea room is a large conservatory extension to an old church which has been converted into an antiques centre although it was quite busy it has a lovely feel to it it was waitress service and the waitress was polite and help full there are a good range of meals on the menu and extras on the specials board they use well gate fisheries and meat from south mire farm in the trough of bowland I had a steak muffin and my friend had the plaice both where beautifully cooked and very well presented and very reasonably priced my steak was tender and moist and came with chips and salad we were to full to have a pudding but they did look goo d after the meal we had a walk around the antiques centre which was fascinating and we whiled away a couple of hours most enjoyable

Set in a beautiful old church aesthetically it is beautiful. The coffee was very pleasant, although it was a rather cold to sit any length of time in the cafe. The access for disabled Is none existent unfortunately, and although the drinks were satisfactory some alarming confusion arose over the allergy content of some of the cakes and as a result Im unfortunately unwell. The chocolate brownies was very dry, even my fork found it an impossible challenge, when ordering a chocolate brownies l exspect a moist decadent brownie consistency and I was extremely disappointed to discover otherwise. The other cakes my party ordered however were only a little better. The customer service at intervals came across as complacent/aggressive. I feel my own and my parties exsperance on this occasion was unfortunate, distressing due to the uncertainty of a product that had been served as Gfree and I have been unwell since consuming it, which would alert me to contamination with a none Gfree source. Unfortunately Due to this exsperance and the exsperance of all of the party of people I attend with the party agree unfortunately on this occasion we would not frequent the establishment again for food consumption. However I have to give praise where due, too the extremely helpful staff in the antiques side of the establishment.

This was our first visit to Holden Wood Tear Rooms. The Grane road was blocked with snow so we decided to come in for a breakfast and a hot drink. When we came in there was an array of freshly cooked cakes on the counter having just come out of the oven to cool. The smell was gorgeous and we wished we were coming for afternoon tea. However the full English breakfast did not disappoint and the coffee was wonderful. All round we found the service polite and helpful and the best breakfast we have had for ages. We will return.

Set in a beautiful old church the tea room is very welcoming and has a lovely atmosphere. I had a beautiful salad which is a favourite of mine. i have had the same salad in France and this one was even better ., I would happily recommend the tea rooms.
