Thornleyholme Tearoom

Nestled in the heart of Stanley, Thorneyholme Tea Room is more than just a café, it’s a warm, welcoming haven that’s become a cherished part of the community. Our menu is packed with comforting favourites, from freshly made toasties and jacket potatoes to homemade soups, hearty pies, and indulgent cakes that never disappoint.

We’re proud to serve up fruit scones that locals swear by, and our corned beef & onion toastie has earned a bit of a cult following. Beyond the food, we’ve hosted a variety of events that bring people together, like our popular “Soup & a Bun Wednesdays,” where we offer free meals to anyone who needs a warm bite and a friendly face. The tea room also showcases handmade crafts and gifts from the Just for Women Centre, adding a personal, heartfelt touch to every visit. But what truly sets us apart is our kitchen staff: a team of kind-hearted, passionate individuals who cook with care and serve with genuine warmth. They’re the soul of Thorneyholme, and they make every visit feel like coming home.

Opening times: Monday to Friday 9am-2:30pm
