Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

On a one day visit to Buckinham we decided to pop in to the Team Room for breakfast because it looked so inviting from the outside. We were given a very warm welcome and took a table for two in the window. It is a...lovely room with each table having unique china tea cups and a small brass bell so you can summon service. Of course we had to try this and it worked as someone arrived with a smile. I fancied a bacon sandwich and despite this not being on the menu I was obliged without fuss, and my partner chose Eggs Royale which was very good. The tea was fun, served in china. It was a good breakfast, at a fair price, and served cheerfully in a fun environment.More

Beautiful place with a really nice cosy feel and great character. Loved all the details. Food was lovely and service was 10/10! Great experience right in the heart of Buckingham town centre.

Undeserved snobbery at its finest. My partner and I visited today. The proprietor looked pejoratively at us before asking whether we had a reservation despite there being vacant unreserved tables. Reluctantly he showed us a table, offered us a menu then ignored us for 15...minutes despite my trying to make eye contact each time he passed us. We left. The decor is chintzy and gaudy with artificial plastic flowers. The owner has tried to keep it dust free, however has failed A multicoloured plastic emporium reminiscent of Miss Haversham house.More

This is a small tearoom serving first class food in an over the top quirky setting. Loved it, and the competent young man who served us. The food was innovative and well above the average. The afternoon tea was simply amazing.

Amazing! So much more than a tea room. How did we miss this last time? It's a few steps past the pedestrian crossing in the High Street, going downhill. An intimate space, quirky, clean, and with the most amazing customer service. Within minutes we felt...like part of the family; even ended up having a conversation with another customer. Food was delicious, different, hot and served with a smile. I cannot recommend highly enough. Their Summer Risotto was a real treat.More

What a lovely treat!. My daughter had arranged the celebration afternoon tea along with prosecco , as a Mothers day present. The tea room is so pretty and the owner was very welcoming. The tiers of savoury (including lamb & mushroom stroganoff) and sweet were...all amazing, both in presentation and taste. The asaam tea I opted for was perfect . My daughter had the rose tea which she also said was really nice. We have indulged in many afternoon teas over the years and this was amongst the best, also excellent value for money. 100% recommend. I hope to visit again in the future!More

Lovely decor, attentive polite staff and really delicious food. We had a freshly baked baguette each served with a delicious salad. However, it would have been nice to see some vegan options displayed on the menu though.

This was the best cream tea we have ever had, it was a perfect blend of innovation and tradition. The environment is quirky and as it’s in a busy High street, not the usual cream tea surroundings. The food was beyond expectations. Really lovely presentation,...although very traditional, the quality of the food was amazing and the service was great, really friendly and attentive, event though it got fairly busy. Would definitely recommend and would go back, worth a visit.More

This is the most amazing place. I have had many afternoon teas - including at the Ivy but this trumps the lot. The settling is antique charm, the staff are delightful but the food is out of this world. We had the Celebration Afternoon Tea....It was enormous and every component was a taste experience. Heavenly. We were with my autistic daughter and they couldn't have been more welcoming. Go! It is a meal to remember.More
