The Polly Tearooms

I’ve been here a few times with & without family. Beautifully set out, lovely tea & food. Kind staff & a reasonable price.

Uk
Polly tea, went for cream teas, got the club sandwich also. With fresh baked bread, the club sandwich was quite impressive. The cream tea came with tea, and a scone, with the option of plain or fruit. The tea was very good but the scone was a little dry. Over all the price was about £40 for three cream teas, two sandwiches, a latte, and a few things from the bakery. Would come again. Written by the kid cuz I was at the pub.

Wel, ooit vond ik dit adres in een Belgische reisgids. We waren op rondreis in het Zuiden van Engeland en we kwamen voorbij in Marlborough. Dus waarom zouden we niet eens gaan kijken? We waren verbaasd toen we al die tafels zagen die doorbogen onder het gewicht van die prachtige taarten en cakes. Een tweede keer hebben we speciaal voor Polly een omweg gemaakt. En we waren opnieuw niet ontgoocheld. De laatste keer wilden we deze tearoom aan onze kinderen tonen maar door een panne van de ferry waren we te laat in Engeland en konden we niet meer omrijden. Eén ding staat echter vast, we komen er ooit nog eens terug.

Probably the worse tea rooms I have ever visited. This placed is dated, over priced and poorly run. We ordered tea for two and were surprised when we were given basic white porcelain cups and a stainless steel teapot. For a moment I thought we were in a motorway service station and not an established tea rooms. They say don’t judge a book by it’s cover, but the tea itself tasted awful. The tea bags were unbranded and I have never drunk tea as disgusting as this in my life. The final straw was when we paid we were overcharged but I didn’t want to argue, I just wanted to get out of this place as fast as I could. Also, the menu was so old the proprietor probably hadn’t updated the prices. How they can justify their high prices is beyond me. Everything, from crumpets to a cold salad was overpriced. The staff looked totally out of place here and couldn’t have looked less interested if they had tried. Fortunately only two of us visited here and we only had tea. It would have been a total disappointment and embarassment had we brought a group of friends here. This was our first visit to The Polly Tea Rooms and it most definitely will be our last. If you want a better cup of tea, stop off at the next road side café.

This is a very cute and old fashion tearoom but the coffee is avarage and the menu overpriced. There is better coffee to get in Marlborough if coffee is your thing (one place further down the high street and a small place down Hilliard Yard have superb coffee) as an experiance of an old fashion tearoom Polly’s is the place though.

Hate to disagree.
This place has a lot of charm, but it doesn;t come from the staff. They may be good, but my gosh don;t they know it.

I love to take family and friends to Pollys as a treat, the old fashioned surroundings are quaint. Be prepared to queue as its very popular and you can’t pre book.

The Polly Tea Rooms is a great place to just take a moment, relax in an old fashioned style tea room — with absolutly amazing smells, great home made style cakes. The staff are very pleasent and are always willing to help.

The Polly Tea rooms in Marlborough are the sort of place to go when you feel like stepping back in time and having a nice cup of tea and a cake served in style, not just bunged at you in a plastic mug! It is situated in Marlborough High Street. Marlborough has a really wide high street. (Not sure if it is the widest High Street in the country). If you are having a cup of tea and a cake in the Polly Tea rooms, you can sit and look out over the high street and watch the world go by, especially interesting if it is a busy market day.

If you are popping to Marlborough for a morning of shopping this is a great place to pop in for breakfast, coffee, lunch or afternoon tea. Really lovely food, refill coffees are free and the cakes are to die for! A really lovely old traditional tea room. Try the bottled organic local apple juice it’s lovely.

A very relaxing place to stop and recharge the batteries. lovely tea and coffee and cakes. Often full of tourists in the summer but quieter in the winter. The cakes are delicious and they do wedding cakes and Christmas cakes too. They also sell chocolates which are quite pricey but delicious and good for presents.

The best tea rooms in Marlborough? I don’t know really — there are other good ones but this seems to be the busiest. Always seems to be crowded especially at weekends. Huge selection of cakes to go with your cuppa. Also can buy cakes to take away or order a cake for that special occassion. Nice treat for a special day.

The Polly Tearooms are a personnal favourite of mine.
It is full of olde world charm, although I do always feel sorry for the waitresses who have to wear the most terbbile dresses!
They do a great tea, with the most yummy cakes ever, and im not a massive cake fan!
If you ever happen to be in Marlborough definatly worth a stop in for at least a coffee.

I love going to Polly Tearooms when I’m in Marlborough. It’s a lovely old building with wooden beams on the ceiling and famous artwork on the walls. The perfect place for tea and scones! They also do a really nice breakfast and lunch menu, and isn’t too expensive. The service is excellent too, as the waitresses are always asking you if you want a coffee refill etc.
