The Healey Dell Heritage Centre and Tea Rooms is an Edwardian-themed charm on the banks of the River Spodden, surrounded by a stunning and scenic natural setting. In our two-vintage chandelier-lit tea rooms we serve traditional afternoon and cream teas amongst other freshly cooked home-style food. We have two outdoor sheltered areas which offer comfortable seating to circa 120 people with a bar, and a barbeque area. Muddy boots are welcome, and dog/animal friendly. Ample parking spaces for cyclists. We invite you to come and enjoy the ambience, food, natural setting and history.
Our Heritage Centre is a great starting point for local exploration and includes permanent heritage information on display and local information to take away with you.

This was a birthday treat to a friend and she really enjoyed the afternoon tea. The staff went out of their way to make it special, presenting a slice of chocolate cake with a candle whilst singing happy birthday which was a pleasant surprise to her. All in all it was lovely all round. Food lovely , couldn’t finish it all do all of us came away with boxed cakes. We will be booking again for our Christmas lunch .

Unfortunately we had to cut our afternoon tea experience short due to my granddaughter not feeling very well. However the staff were so understanding & helpful. They provided us with plenty of takeaway boxes & even a surprise birthday cake. We eventually did eat our afternoon tea at home and everything was really delicious. Thank you

The food was lovely but would have liked a choice of scones as we didn’t all like fruit ones and would have preferred a plain one. The staff were very helpful but had their coats on? Very enjoyable afternoon though and will definitely return.
Business Response:
Dear Elizabeth, thank you for your review. Sorry we didn't know you did not like fruit scones. It's a shame. We have a few different options of scones. May be next time. When you visited the tearooms we were in between two storms and our staff were serving outdoors and indoors and only a coat could offer some protection to the elements. Hopefully you will see them next without coats- Overall: 10/10

We would have liked food from the main menu as well. We were told of this beforehand.
We enjoyed the afternoon tea.
We felt a bit rushed at the end. it was the end of a busy day for the staff.
The afternoon tea was £6 more than any another day, too much.
However we will return

Such a special place to me. The staff are so lovely, and you can tell it’s a place they care about. The afternoon tea was delicious. Especially the quiche. A place full of history and mystery. Lots of info here if your not familiar with the area. A little chilly so wrap up, but is a very old historical building.
Thank you for a special experience
