My favourite place to go in Ely is Peacock's Tearoom - I'm a bit of an afternoon tea aficionado and a proper, leisurely afternoon tea is my favourite 'eating out' experience. I've done most of the fancy London hotels and Peacock's is still my favourite. It's just lovely there: proper afternoon tea, little sandwiches with the crusts cut off, fancy cakes, scones and cream, a huge choice of teas, and all at at a third of the price you'd pay in a hotel anywhere else. The light lunches are lovely and simple - homemade soups, sandwiches, things on toast. The last time I went I just had tea and and buttered toast and I swear I have never tasted anything so good. Service is friendly and swift and it's very small and cosy. If I could, I'd have tea there every day and work my way down the tea menu.

This is a real gem of a place - right down by the river it is always packed in spring and summer. A real traditional tea room which offers a huge selection of blends along with excellent homemade food and cakes - cream tea is a particular favourite of ours!!
