Our sales team recently visited Sotherton Tea Room for our holiday outing, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, the charming atmosphere transported us to another era, making it a truly unique and memorable experience. The attention to detail in the decor, the warm hospitality of the staff, and the perfectly curated tea selections set the tone for an elegant and relaxing afternoon. The food was exceptional—delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream, and a variety of sweet treats that were almost too beautiful to eat. For a team looking to do something out of the box, this is an excellent choice. It’s not just tea; it’s an experience that fosters connection, laughter, and a break from the usual. We highly recommend Sotherton Tea Room for anyone planning a holiday gathering, team outing, or even just a special treat for yourself. We’ll definitely be back! 🎄☕

About the restaurant
Ernie’s Food & Spirits
The crossroads of cultivation, connection, and creativity. We strive to connect our craft of creating unique, locally inspired, and seasonally curated food with emotionally invested service.
The relationships we have created with local farmers, cultivators, brewers, and distillers, share the core ideals of our emotional investment. We are proud of our centralized location with seven major highways or interstate routes within twenty minutes of our front door. As we conceived our identity, we became fond of connecting our guests to the highest quality food and beverage our area had to offer. We have diligently partnered with local farmers to raise our own plots of fruits and vegetables, cheese makers to provide farmstead cheese, distillers who utilize the bounty around us, and brewers that strive to create the highest quality crafted product as we do in our restaurant. We look forward to connecting you to our ideals.

Thank you,
The Ernie's Family

Last night was a memorable one. My partner and I enjoyed the salmon, carrots and crab fried rice with a split of champagne. Oh, and the bar drinks were way above the usual standards. Definitely recommend Ernie’s if you enjoy fine dining.

Casual environment with great selection of beers and a menu with many comfort food options. They offer generous flights of beers and let you choose those you wish to try. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was very good. Would recommend the veggie burger and the fish and chips.

I take my granddaughter for Tea every year for her birthday. Hidden Tea has added tables and I love their gift shop. They also cook your food for you upon arrival, so very fresh. I have been here several times and I always love the ambience.
