Tea Time cafe is one of those, and caught my eye at last year's Flavours of Herriot County Awards, where it took home the prize for best afternoon tea. We must have been in the mood to test this "class, countryside and convenience" theory as we both chose dishes we wouldn't normally go for. As is often the way, the internet was little use, describing it as "celery root, knob celery, and turnip-rooted celery". Both were a good indication that the Flavours of Herriot afternoon tea trophy – proudly on display in the corner of the cafe – was richly deserved.
