"It's in the middle of no where - but you'll find it easily enough!" I was told by a friend, who I suspect didn't get her navigating badge in the Girl Guides! When I reached Jacqui's I realised that was a fair description. (Perhaps she did get that badge after all!) Just take the road out of Saddington sign posted to Mowsley and you'll find Jacqui's without any problems.

The tea room is a chalet which looks like it's just been whisked off the set of 'Heidi'! The pine furniture and gingham table cloths give a homespun look, which is equally reflected in the scrumptious food on offer. Whatever your poison (as the saying goes) you're bound to be spoilt for choice by the comprehensive list of home cooked fare. You can even tuck into a cooked breakfast at teatime if you fancy a winter warmer! Children are well catered for, with a high chair and a box of toys.

In the summer the gardens provide a haven for weary travellers. Jacqui's ice cream soda's are a must for hot sticky days and even the dogs get a bowl of water.

Added attractions at the tea room are a mini library of second hand books for sale, and a separate chalet with curios and gifts. Ample parking is provided, with a closer car park for disabled users.
