Marlborough
Established in 1932, The Polly Tea Rooms in Marlborough have become known as one of the best privately owned tea rooms England.
Polly's exact origins have become clouded with rumours and speculation. Some say the name comes from the nursery rhyme “Polly put the kettle on…”, others say it was named after a parrot owned by the two ladies who started it. One favoured theory is that the Polly was named after Polly Peacham from the Beggars Opera, this is, apparently the explanation given by the founding ladies Miss Janet McCloud (one of the original Suffragettes) and Miss Jean Leith Hay.
But wherever the name comes from, you can be assured that it still stands for the epitome of a perfect place to sit and relax.
Nowadays in the ever busy High Street of Marlborough you can still enjoy one of those rare moments of peace during your busy day. Whether it is reading the papers whilst enjoying a traditional English breakfast, a morning cup of coffee with a friend, lunch or afternoon tea, you can be sure of the highest standards and that ever elusive time and place to relax.
Ice Creams, naturally play an important role at The Polly. From ices sold from our traditional Ice Cream Cart which is seen on sunny days in Marlborough high street to our fantastic homemade ice creams and Movenpick flavours served in each of the Polly's
