Perfectly Pink Lotte’s Kitchen
The instant you step through the door of this cosy cafe, you enter Lotte’s world. A delightful mix of vintage cups and saucers and contemporary award winning British food. Snug sofas, pastel painted chairs and a cow. Yes, a cow. This is a small space full of fascinating surprises.
Cosy Corner Fabulous Shades Of Pink
Swathes of jewellery dangle from a flounced pinny clad forme. A pink painted vintage bentwood coat stand holds a choice of kitchen aprons, from quirky to fun. Bright coloured kitchen utensils share shelf space with appliquéd and printed tea towels and patterned, dog shaped doorstops.
Jewellery And Flounces
Delightful floral covered tables and dainty chairs fill the cafe. A mix of vintage and modern furniture substitute for generic retail displays, giving a homely feel.
Delightful floral Covered Tables
This is the home of the sarnie, but not any old butty, these are gourmet. A plump, Roast Beef, Salad and Horseradish Cream sandwich – “Our beef is marinated in crushed garlic, black pepper, mustard and horseradish. We then medium rare roast it and slice it by hand.” A thick stuffed, Ham, Salad and Lotte’s Sweet Piccalilli sandwich – “Our ham is cooked in apple juice and cider then baked with butter, sugar and spices. The piccalilli is home-made and really rather scrumptious!” I had an oozingly delicious, cheese toasty with thick, carrot and celery soup, the days special combo Pink Plate.
Home Cooked Roast Beef And Horseradish Cream Sandwich
A profusion of cakes sit enticingly under glass cloches, tempting even the most determined health fiend to have a slice. Glossy chocolate fudge cake, A crunchy, sweet apple cake, a walnut layer cake and slabs of chocolate brownies.
A Profusion Of Cakes
And now to the cow. I’m not sure that she has a purpose, but she certainly makes you smile and if you choose the right table, you can have tea with her.

What an absolutely charming place :), fantastic for a girly lunch!
*kisses* H
You’re right, that’s how I found it, having lunch with a friend on a day out. GG
This what I love and miss about England, the food and atmosphere and these tiny froufrou places. Here you can find a few but either the food’s not good or the atmosphere is off.
I love the cow with its ribbon bonnet!
This place sounds fantastic and like H said, perfect for a girly lunch
xx
The cow is fab isn’t it. As I said it makes me smile. Forgot to mention the amazing hot chocolate, a stick of dark, milk and white chocolate stirred into steamed milk, sooo very delicious. GG
Love the cow, it sure made me smile! What a charming cafe!
It is charming, a perfect description. GG
This looks like a place that would put a smile on your face…so fun!
The service is good too. fun and informative, people who seem to enjoy their job. GG

A pleasure, do you have any places like this near you? GG
How lovely does that place look! And I love the profusion of pink! 😀
The pink is perfect, a girly haven that welcomes everyone. GG
Oh, GG, what a lovely place! And that sandwich! I could almost bite the screen!
That sandwich was really good. GG
Such a cute place…it’s restaurants like these that make me miss the UK so much!
Love the cow. 🙂
They do sem to be a very British thing, places like this. GG
A beautiful cafe…and so peaceful.
It is lovely. GG
What a perfectly wonderful find. It reminds me of Pinky Murphy’s in Fowey which is also pink and quirky – no cow though!
It is a great find. I went back yesterday with the Glam Londoner and he loved the food. GG
Seriously, how good is that sandwich? Home made piccalilli…..sigh.
It was great, there’s nothing like homemade piccalilli. GG
