Why it's worth checking out

Sippy Tom is a Teneriffe café set within the Winchcombe Carson Woolstores on Vernon Terrace, offering a relaxed setting for eating, drinking and catching up. The venue describes itself as a place for relaxing and socialising, with a seasonal menu built around fresh local ingredients rather than a fixed all-day formula.

The autumn 2026 menu covers familiar café favourites alongside more distinctive plates. Breakfast options include Eggs on Toast, Avo on Toast, a Breakfast Sanga and Eggs Benny with a choice of bacon, salmon or halloumi. For something sweeter, the Honey Butter Hotcake combines a large hotcake with honeycomb butter and burnt honey, while the Mulled Cherry Crumpet pairs a toasted crumpet with Marsala mulled cherries, whipped ricotta, pistachio, honeycomb and dark chocolate. There are also lighter and savoury choices such as the Garden Mojo Bowl, Corn Fritter, Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl and Shortrib Flatbread.

Drinks extend beyond the usual café offering, with made-to-order juices and smoothies. The juice list includes combinations such as beetroot, carrot, apple, lemon and ginger, as well as options based on green vegetables, citrus and tropical fruit. Smoothies include berry, mango, green and banana-based blends, with protein powder and coffee available as additions. The menu marks dietary options and asks guests to discuss allergies with the team, while noting that cross-contamination cannot be ruled out.

Sippy Tom also places emphasis on local suppliers, sourcing meats from Marrow Meats, free-range eggs from Rivergum Farm, seafood from CustomSeafoods, bread from Danny’s Artisan Bread, produce from Big Michael and LOOP Farms, and gluten-free bread from Nodo. The venue can host functions in Teneriffe for up to 25 seated guests or 50 standing, with hot and cold canapés, sandwiches and cakes available. That makes it suitable for a casual breakfast or lunch, a catch-up with friends, or a smaller work or birthday gathering.
