Loopy Lorna’s Tea House is a popular Morningside haunt, with the only branch now located in the Churchill Theatre. Tea and cake is definitely the overriding theme with teapots everywhere, a special tea menu compiled by a master tea blender, quirky tea cosies warming the pots and a large counter laden with treats. The menu lists a range of breakfast choices, soup and sandwich lunches and a kid’s menu for the little ones. Afternoon tea is a popular choice with a selection of ‘dainty’ sandwiches (smoked salmon, gammon or egg mayonnaise), scones and home-baked cakes and tray bakes. If you don’t have the appetite for the whole shebang, the freshly baked large ‘loopy’ scone is a highlight, served with tasty homemade strawberry jam and, for pure indulgence, a large dollop of Cornish clotted cream. There is lots of room to cater for the regular clientele of mum and toddlers groups, theatre goers and local workers.
