About
Quince and Clover's Cotswold Café is in the Old Post Office in Great Tew, a short walk from the Falkland Arms. The same business runs an event caterer from Long Compton, and a sister café in Deddington.
Breakfast runs from 8.30am until noon: açai bowls, smoothies, granola, porridge, eggs on grilled sourdough, ricotta pancakes and smoked salmon. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays there is an all-day brunch menu. Lunch, from noon to 3pm, is soups, stew pots and salad bowls that change daily, to eat in or take away.
The counter holds homemade pastries, cakes, cookies, sausage rolls and seasonal salads. Ice cream is made in-house under The North Cotswold Ice Cream Company, in classic and odder flavours, and milkshakes use three scoops with North Cotswold Dairy milk. The house coffee, Resolute, is roasted in Cornwall and sold in packs.
The site does not mention dogs, seating or parking, so ask. The café takes no bookings.
