Emily's Tea Shop, Water Hall Farm, The Valley, Whitwell SG4 8BN
01438 871928

Emily's Tea Shop is rather hidden-away amongst farm buildings and can be hard to find. From the High Street, turn down The Valley, which doesn't look very promising until you go down it and see the entrance after a short distance on the right. 

Booking recommended.
