About Us
In September 1982, 'Poppies Tea Rooms' opened for business, and legend has it the owners chose the name Poppies after they visited poppies cottages in Bali. Since then, it has become a favourite destination for those who love tasty & wholesome country cooking.
In May 2000, Peter Norton acquired the business and for the last 20 years he has developed and enhanced Poppies further with additional elements including a Take Home Menu and Environmentally Friendly Systems.
We look forward to welcoming you to our coffee shop😊.
