tionally good tasting hand-roasted cof-fee, really nice people to deal with and who treated the coffee bean farmers fairly. She had no idea that the coffee process was so complicated until she met Aimee and James from Union Hand-Roasted Coffee. The tasting expe-rience was so interesting and educa-tional that she made sure that everyone in her team underwent barista training

with Union to ensure that the quality and standard was maintained for each cup of coffee – this is of great importance to Amp as she appreciates good coffee and wants to ensure all her cus-tomers enjoy the same qual-ity.

Amp and her team pro-vide a wide selection of food – from breakfasts, to snacks to lunches, afternoon teas and cream teas. The scones are all homemade as are the cakes (and they all taste yummy). The menu has changed a great deal and Amp is proud to support, where she can, local food producers and has tried to ensure that her customers receive quality ingredients when they place their order. The Berries French Toast not only looks good but tastes very good – toasted brioche

with homemade berries sauce. If you want a more traditional break-

fast what about the full English, or the poached eggs on toast with avocado? They provide a kid’s breakfast as well.

Gluten free and vegetarian options are also available and are becoming more popular.

There is always time during the day to sample some of the homemade cake

with a cup of Union coffee or maybe a lovely pot of tea.

Anytime is cake time! Cosy Tea Room can also be used

for private func-tions – for exam-ple they held a very well attended Coffee Talk and Tasting

Session recently which all the

invitees found fasci-nating as they were

able to hear from the

experts why the coffee served at Cosy is so good.

Another special function was held at the start of half term week in October – Jo Howton from Bibby & Boppy came along to offer a free, no obligation photo shoot to local customers and families. This was also a well-attended event and Jo will be scheduling another date soon as the demand was so great. You must check out Jo’s work at www.bibbyand-boppy.com as she is exceptionally tal-ented.

You really must check out Cosy Tea Rooms of Elham – just pop in to say hello and have a look around. It will be difficult to resist the cakes!!!

Cosy and a tea room – what’s not to like?

amp and her exceptionally friendly team are ready to welcome you to their relaxed tea rooms and cof-fee shop.

Amp took over at Cosy Tea Rooms in August this year and has been busy, re-decorating, refurbishing and upgrading the menu to bring a more updated offering to the local Elham residents and all the tourists who flow through Elham admir-ing the beautiful coun-tryside views.

Amp’s theme is “mod-ern-vintage” something that she says her hus-band doesn’t under-stand and laughs at the memory. She explains in greater detail that it’s possible to merge both modern and vintage styles successfully and having visited her at Cosy Tea Rooms you have to agree that she has pulled it off. From the relaxing wall colour-ings, to the restful logos on the walls, to the brightly coloured cush-ion covers, to the subtly placed lighting, the softer coloured blinds and the delightful cakes on offer you have to admire how quickly she has changed the ambi-ence. In fact some customers have had to do a double take to make sure they were in the right building, so much has changed.

Amp explained that one of the first things she did before she took over was to undertake extensive research on finding the right coffee supplier with great tasting coffee beans and who were ethical and fair to their coffee producers.
