It takes something truly special to win the Northern Echo’s Café of the Year accolade but that’s what the Little Drummer Boy Tea Room achieved in its very first year of operation.

The reasons for this success are of course attributable to the owner, Dawn Spence and her daughter Emily, along with their wonderfully attentive staff. However, the superlative star in the mix is naturally the Little Drummer Boy’s amazing food.

The quality of the ingredients, most sourced locally, result in their amazing cakes, scones, quiches and sausage rolls. Main meals at breakfast, lunch and served throughout the afternoon are prepared with skill and flair.

It’s this combination of factors and constant attention to keeping customers happy that make the Little Drummer Boy such a magnet.

The Little Drummer Boy is fully licenced and has both indoor and outdoor seating.
