Holden Wood Antiques Ltd

Second time we've visited now. It's about hour and a quarter drive for us. But well worth the drive. Fantastic range of items, at prices to suit everyone. Well set out, well organised. Full definitely, but unlike some places not an issue as regards looking at things. Good access all round the floor. The staff we have spoken to on both visits have been helpful and friendly.The tearoom/restaurant is excellent. Loads of choice. The food is very very good. Staff very nice and friendly, and efficient. A really nice place to eat.Carpark is fairly big, maybe a little tight in some spaces. But not much of an issue.There is steps in one entrance, and inside because its been a church there are steps on the ground floor. But very well marked it has to be said.I would definitely recommend a visit either to the antique shop or tearoom, or both.

We spent a good afternoon exploring this place, full of interesting objects, being an antique myself, there were many things I had forgotten even existed. Many blasts from the past & worth a visit in the present.

Just had a lovely day at Holden Wood. We're regular visitors to the impressive antique centre but have not eaten in the cafe before. Excellent friendly service from the start, food really tasty, with a great selection of fresh cakes. We'll certainly be visiting again very soon.

Came here to have some coins my late father had valued and have lunch. There were three of us.Holden Wood antiques is in an old church, out was a cold day in December but the building was nice and warm.LunchWe left the coins to be valued and went for something to eat at the attached tea rooms. There were no free tables so we we're given a buzzer device to sort us when a table was free. That have is time to look around both floors. It took a while to be seated but it was well worth the wait.We ordered salt and pepper chips loaded with southern fried chicken, a full English breakfast and soup and a sandwich. Average cost was £10, portion sizes were good to generous 2 clean plates (too many chips). What made the meal was the service, efficient, friendly and enjoyable cheeky. We enjoyed the banter.Also I had an Americano. Lovely coffee.Definitely somewhere to visit again.AntiquesThe coins were valued by John who was friendly. There was no 'hard sell' or pressure on us. We had an interesting and informative chat about the coins. We decided to sell.We also found a piece we liked and we got a discount on it.I would be happy to come back as a seller or buyer.

Lovely lunch, quality food and beverages and friendly helpful staff. See if you can walk out without trying one of their homemade cakes! It is a very popular place at lunchtime so would recommend booking.A walk around the Antiques before or after makes for a nostalgic journey to round off your visit.

If you have bits you want valued/sold, they are very fair. The shop will keep you happy for a good hour and the tea room is fantastic. It's a good day out

Lovely antique place spread over 2 floors. Some things are a bit pricey Iv been visiting there over the last 12 months and some of the stuff is still there unsold. Cafe is always very busy had a few lovely meals. Lovely views. Very limited parking space tho.

A tea room should pride itself on its scones and they were not fresh, that being said - the rest of the afternoon tea was delightful and plentiful, with refills of tea and filter coffee included. This is a busy little spot, we checked in when we arrived and they had no room but we called back they squeezed us in. The sandwiches, side salad, little soup sampler and choice of cake from the counter were absolutely delicious (shame about the scones).
