Sadly, the excellent tea room here closed about four or five years ago and has remained empty and neglected ever since. I used to wonder if the opening of tea rooms at the nearby chocolate factory drew business away. Perhaps it was an early casualty of the economic downturn? We noticed that another establishment serving tea is due to open in Orton in Spring 2013.
