Ginger & Pickles is a family-run business that began in the floral market town of Nantwich in 2004. Beverley and Andrew Ozard started G&P with the aim of providing more than just an income but a tearoom in which people could come together, relax and enjoy delicious cakes, fine teas and food made from local produce served in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Today, a passionate team of café staff, chefs, bakers, cooks and baristas brings Ginger and Pickles to life.

From that very first day Ginger and Pickles has gone from strength to strength. In its first year we were awarded ‘Best Start Up Business of the Year’ by the South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce and later became a proud member of the United Kingdom Tea Guild followed by being presented with Tea Guild’s annual Award of Excellence ever since. Ginger and Pickles has also been featured on TV including Channel 4's Heston's Great British Food and been commended by numerous publications as one of the best afternoon teas in the UK.

In 2017 we saw the opening of the second Ginger & Pickles location on Tarporley High Street. The beautiful space used to be a bakery so we decided to fill the high street with the smell of freshly baked goods once again. Visitors can expect the same deliciously prepared local food and the freshest of ingredients they've come to know and love in Nantwich.

In 2020 Ginger and Pickles decided to take the leap and open a third store. Located inside Lowe’s Farm shop in Byley, the shop is bursting full of local produce, hearty lunches, scrumptious brunches and our famous afternoon teas.

As well as opening our Byley store, we decided to refurbish our original Nantwich store amidst the pandemic. We adapted the store to make it more spacious, adding accessibility for takeaways and therefore helping Nantwich enjoy more gorgeous coffees, mouthwatering brunches and afternoon teas to go.

In 2021, lockdown changed our perception on things. Since the success of providing a takeaway service during lockdown we decided to transform our old Tarporley Tearooms into our very first G&P Bakehouse. Customers are still able to purchase fresh sourdough loaves, bakes, lunches, coffees and pastries made right in the premises.

In May 2021 we moved into our fourth location in Cheshire, Tarporley, to opposite the G&P Bakehouse at Chestnut Terrace. Refurbishing this location was a task we certainly underestimated but it was worth itseeing customers enjoy our famous G&P delights inside and on the terrace.

In 2024, we went back to our routes and open up a new Bakehouse back in Nantwich to compliment our original tearoom. This also meant our bakery had more production capacity so we were able to further specialise our menu and the tantalising Bakehouse product offerings.

Ginger and Pickles has been featured in The Times, The Guardian, Channel 4, BBC, Cheshire Life, Liverpool Echo, Manchester Evening News and more.
