We just wanted to let you know of the positive changes we have made which we hope you'll find reassuring, so here's a brief summary of hygiene and sanitising protocols and layout.

Table & Chair Positions & Service
We do our utmost to maintain a safe distance when taking orders and serving your table. We now have a covered Courtyard outside and want to reassure you that constant awareness, care and consideration goes into the positioning of tables and chairs.

Cleaning & Sanitising
There are regular extra cleaning and sanitising protocols in place and ongoing in the restaurant, courtyard, shop & WC areas as well as in our kitchen, bakery and ancillary areas.  We continue to sanitise all potential ‘touchpoints’ to ensure the highest possible safety levels. Throughout all Lockdowns, we remained safely open in our shop and bakery as a take-away, delivery and postal service, so we are adept at enhanced hygiene protocols which go over and above legal requirements and are tailored to our specific premises where operations and risk assessments are carried out daily.

At Newens | The Original Maids of Honour on the Kew Road, we’ve been keeping traditional baking skills alive for over 120 years. And our history dates back even further – to Tudor times and the dainty little tarts we’re named after.

Today these delectable pastries are still served warm from our ovens – with a wide variety of other sweet and savoury treats all made by hand to traditional recipes using fresh, natural ingredients. Adjoining the shop, our dining room offers a warm welcome to visitors from near and far – for coffee and cake, high tea, a hot luncheon – whatever takes your fancy…
