Peacocks Tearoom

Peacocks Tearoom is one of the food-and-drink stops worth knowing about in Ely: it is an award-winning family-run tearoom in a Georgian building beside the River Great Ouse, known for a remarkably extensive tea selection as well as cakes, cream teas and light meals. Its waterside setting, antiques-filled rooms and garden make the experience part of an Ely riverside visit in its own right. As a café, it works naturally into a daytime visit rather than requiring a special evening journey. It can provide the pause between heritage, shopping, walking or countryside stops that makes a longer day in Ely practical, while also supporting the independent businesses that give the Fens their local character. Menus, service times and opening arrangements can change seasonally, so visitors making a special journey should check the venue’s current information before travelling.
