Peacocks Tearooms, Ely, Cambridgeshire

If you have followed my blog for some time I'm sure you will know that my most favourite place to afternoon tea is Peacocks in Ely.

Apart from the welcoming staff, traditional china, delicious scones and homemade jam, Peacocks also allows dogs and even serves them treats on a tiny china plate. So it's a great place to finish a walk along the river with my little Kinx

On my recent visit George (the owner) asked me to illustrate their menu.....I happily excepted!

Peacocks Tearoom, Ely, Cambridgeshire UK

My favourite place to be!

Did you know Peacocks allow dogs?...Not only do they allow them, they spoil them too, offering dog biscuits served on a china spoon rest with your order!

After a nice stroll along the river, Kinx and I sat down outside for a cuppa and a snack

As we left, this couple in the queue (Yes! It's THAT popular!) caught my eye and I just had to get my sketchbook out again!

Harry had rugby training so I took advantage of the time and location and drove to the nearby Peacocks for a nibble and a sketch...or two.

Back in my favourite tea shop again...drinking coffee!

I'm back from Spain now and putting together some final touches to the pages I created in my concertina Seawhite sketchbook while I was there. In the meantime I'll post the final few pages of my Gerstaecker sketchbook which has been wonderful to work with despite the ridiculous price I paid for them (I think they were something like £1 in the sale) The paper is thinner than that of the Daler Rowney I have been using but buckling tends to smooth out on drying and it can handle a medium wash...All in all...Bargain!

Back at my favourite tearoom for the first time in ages and was happy to see it hadn't changed a bit, still welcoming, still brimming with character and utterly delicious!
