The Blitz Tea Room and Jazz Lounge

 

Travel back in time and experience the spirit of the blitz and how people pulled together in the scariest of times by visiting The Blitz Tea Room and Jazz Lounge in Kettering.

The family run business, opened in September 2013, offers fourteen loose leaf speciality teas to go with a selection of the best cakes in town. The interior is strictly 1940s decorated with radio updates from Winston Churchill and classics by Vera Lyn.

By night the tea room gets jazzed up and transforms into a 1940s jazz lounge where you can swing the night away to the quintessential sounds of Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzegerald and many more of the greats!

The Good Loaf

 

If you’re after some bread to go with your cheese or you just love a good sandwich, pop down to The Good Loaf in Northampton or Kettering.

They produce delicious hand crafted artisan breads, baked at sunrise each day.

However, producing top quality loaves is only the half of it, the bakery pride themselves on being a ‘social’ business and offer work opportunities to vulnerable local people.

Loaf’s good!
