Autumn in England is just like you would expect: grey, muddy and wet. What better way to brighten your day than meet with a friend and indulge in wonderful hot drinks and sweet dishes?
A visit to White Rabbit Teahouse will transport you into another dimension, where everything is colorful and heavily patterned, your cups are dainty and made of porcelain and just the right amount of “your-grandma’s-living-room” atmosphere.
If you enjoy tea, you’re in the right place. While the WRT offers coffee, I would advise you to visit a proper coffee shop in Nottingham, such as 200 degrees. Chose instead their tea served with milk and chunks of rock sugar, and there is little you could want for but, of course, one (or two) of their lovely dishes.
Of the two times I have visited this place so far, ordering the tea for two, which is served on a wonderful étagère, was most enlightening. It started with delicious smoked salmon sandwiches that were just salty enough to thrill my taste buds and leave me wanting for more. On the second level we found perfectly flaky scones with rich clotted cream and tangy raspberry jam, a nearly perfect combination. The third and last layer, the crowning event to any high tea, unfortunately disappointed. While WRT does offer lovely cakes, we were confronted with somewhat boring cupcakes (chocolate and vanilla) and pretty but not amazing tasting macarons.
What’s the verdict? The White Rabbit Teahouse is a must-try in Nottingham, especially for its delicious sandwiches, scones and tea. Do try to show up early as the place fills up quickly.
