Madhatters Tea Room & Gift Shop

About

Madhatters Tea Room & Gift Shop is a charming, family‑run tea room situated on the beautiful Hayling Island Seafront. Award‑winning for its warm, welcoming ambience, it offers a full breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea menu that highlights locally sourced produce, including handmade cakes, fresh coffee, and plant‑based options for vegans and those with gluten intolerance. The tea room prides itself on providing a separate preparation area for vegan and gluten‑free items, ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and allergen control. Guests enjoy dog‑friendly seating both inside and outside, while the community‑spirit is reinforced by a small on‑site car park as well as a larger shared car park just a short walk away at Beachlands. The relaxed, wheelchair‑accessible setting encourages leisurely visits, yet the crowd remains intimate thanks to group‑booking flexibility—seating is available for walks or larger parties of six or more, with the option to book a private room for an extra fee. Operations run from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday–Sunday (Monday is closed except on bank holidays, when the hours are 9:00 am to 4:00 pm). Breakfast is served until 11:30 am and lunch until 2:30 pm. The tea room’s friendly staff and focus on local sourcing combine to make Madhatters a must‑visit spot for families, pet‑owners, and anyone who enjoys a relaxed seaside tea experience covered in British tradition.
