Tea rooms in lovely setting in part of the old Astley Sanitarium. Sounds grim but a hard working group saved this really nice building from demolition/being built on. Usual customers are middle aged/elderly ladees who lunch. Gorgeous cakes and gateaux, fresh pots of tea and that sort of thing. Some hot food such as quiche, baked spuds etc. Non smoking. Have your fill then wander round the lake and watch the ducks and squirrels. Pity that part of the grounds are now covered with houses but suppose that's how they were able to raise the money to finance the renovation.
