What’s a nice teapot like you doing in the middle of France?
Tina and husband Phil Sharpe already run a successful storage company in France so in setting up a new business they were aware and undaunted by the administrative requirements. Tina recommends that a chat with the Mayor is always a good starting point and says “Certainly our Mayor and his team have been really supportive of The Teapot and welcomed our unusual venture to Castelnau Magnoac. They joined us in celebrating the opening of the Teapot and have since been back to spend their "pause thé" with us!”
If I’d have known you were coming I’d have baked a cake
The Teapot has become well-known for its home-made cakes made to a traditional English theme. Popular "regulars" include classic coffee and walnut, chocolate fudge, carrot cake, tea loaf and Victoria sponge. Tina is a vintage china fan and the shelves of the
Teapot which seats up to 30 people on two levels, are lined with beautiful cups and saucers and glass jars filled with all manner of biscuits, cookies and cakes.
