The first stop on my tour was The Fallow Deer in Teddington (on the high street, opposite Starbucks.) I was joined by a friend who was only too happy to share a pot of tea with me.
The vibe in The Fallow Deer is chilled and friendly. The decor is vintage and we managed to bag the best seat (actually sofa) in the house which is in the window and is extremely comfy. The place was heaving as it was lunchtime, a good sign in my book.
We ordered tea for two (£3) and it was served to us promptly, in a teapot with cute china tea cups and saucers! A very nice touch and rare to see.
We both thought the tea tasted fresh and light and there was more than enough for three cups each. I am a lover of the milk being served separately as I am very particular about how much (or how little in my case) milk I have, so this suited me.
They also serve food; the menu isn't too extensive but there is enough choice and my friend ordered the scrambled eggs on toast. She enjoyed it and it is a nice healthy option for lunch which I know can be difficult to find in some of the larger chains of coffee shops.
So overall I would definitely recommend The Fallow Deer for a different kind of coffee shop experience - it's quite small so not ideal for buggies - but you had better hurry as they are relocating to a few doors down in Teddington and changing their look and feel from 10 May - I hope it is as nice but I will be making a visit to the new style venue on my tour so will let you know!
Enjoy!
