A Notice to Our Beautiful Community & Beyond ♡

We’ve decided that Dob X Tea will reopen this coming Tuesday.

A perfect cosy spot for catching up with friends, spending time with loved ones, or simply enjoying a little peace and quiet in the heart of the village.

Truth be told, getting back into our normal routine has taken a little longer than expected after the whole of Saddleworth seemed to visit The Swan over Whit Friday weekend. What a day that was!

With a few improvements behind the scenes and some exciting additions to our offering, we’re delighted to welcome you back for beautiful cakes, perfect pots of tea, and now a selection of simple, delicious light lunches.

Our extended menu includes favourites such as fish finger sandwiches served on soft sourdough, traditional British cheese & onion pie, and other comforting classics — all available both at The Swan Inn and upstairs in our beautiful 1920s-inspired Tea Room.

Afternoon Tea vouchers are also available, with experiences starting from just £19.95 per person.

We can't wait to welcome you back this Tuesday. All of us at Dob X Tea are looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones alike.

See you soon ♡
