I recently made a visit to the Parlour Tearoom in Basingstoke. The Parlour Tearoom sells sandwiches, cakes, and afternoon tea. I had made a previous visit. This first visit was over a year ago, and I had a toasted cheese sandwich, Victoria Sponge cake and a cupcake, which I took away. I visited with my parents, and they also had sandwiches and different flavours of cupcakes. All of this was very good. Unfortunately, all of my photographs of this visit somehow got lost, and I've not been able to return until recently.
The Parlour Tearoom is located in the Viables area of Basingstoke outside the town centre. This area is also home to large businesses, and I used to work there until the end of January 2010, but the tearoom was not around then. The Parlour Tearooms are located in converted stables or workhouses, and many more of these now house local businesses selling crafts, jewellery, sweets, and food.
The interior has a vintage-inspired design with bunting.
During my most recent visit, I had a pot of tea and a scone with jam and clotted cream, and this tasted delicious.
This was followed by a vanilla cupcake.
Other flavours of cupcake are on offer for taking away or eating in.
I recommend The Parlour Tea Rooms in Basingstoke for a visit. The cakes and cupcakes are delicious.
