Victoria Rose & Tea Room

Victoria Rose & Tea Room is an old-fashioned tea room on Prince Street in Rosedale, best known for Devonshire tea and homemade pies. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor garden seating, which is really the whole point for a stop like this.

The dog setup. Friendly dogs are welcome with you in the garden areas, both the front rose garden and the more sheltered rear garden under the trees. It is outdoor seating only, so leave your dog inside if you want to eat in the main house. Staff are known to be welcoming towards pets and water is generally available on request, but bring a portable bowl to be safe.

Known for. Scones with jam and cream, homemade pies, and a full lunch menu in a cosy, rustic setting. It is the kind of stop that suits a slow Devonshire tea rather than a quick coffee.

Getting there. The tea room is at 42 Prince Street, on the north side of the main road through town. Free street parking is available along Prince Street and nearby.

Nearby with the dogs. Rosedale township is small and walkable, and there is a free camp area near the river that makes for a good stretch of the legs before or after tea.

When to go: weekday afternoons are quieter and give the garden tables more room. Confirm the outdoor seating is available before you arrive if the weather looks unsettled.
