Peckish?
Homemade cakes are made by the team here and delivered over to Mrs Knotts tearoom each day. Here we show off the best of British tastes with our favourite fruit scones with cream and jam. Or delve into a traditional Victoria sponge oozing with raspberry jam.
Soup with bread and butter and fresh sandwiches are also available at the tearoom. all of which too are homemade with local produce.
A proper cuppa
At the tearoom we believe that the best brew does not come from a teabag, but from tea leaves. Use a tea strainer as you pour into a pretty little china cup specially chosen by our staff for you to appreciate.
Choose from our delightful range of teapots in which to have your brew and relax in the picturesque surroundings.
The Knott family
The tearoom was converted from a cottage, of which the former residents were the lighthouse keepers. The tearoom is named after George and Catherine Knott who were the keepers at south foreland lighthouse. They lived there with their 13 children.
