The Artea Room Named Finalist in UK Small Business Awards

We’re delighted to share some exciting news — The Artea Room has been shortlisted in the UK Small Business Awards 2025, in the Best Café category.

With thousands of entries from across the UK, we’re incredibly proud to be recognised as a finalist. It’s a huge moment for our small, independent tearoom here in Potterspury, and a wonderful way to celebrate our first six months in business.

“This recognition means the world to us,” said Joanne, co-owner of The Artea Room. “We feel so lucky to have such a fantastic team and to be part of such a supportive local community. We’ve had the most amazing welcome since opening, and we’re so grateful to everyone who has visited us, shared kind words, or recommended us to others.”

The UK Small Business Awards are designed to shine a spotlight on independent businesses of all shapes and sizes, helping them grow and reach new audiences through social media and national exposure. What makes these awards unique is their focus on celebrating the entire process — not just the winners — with a mission to break down barriers and support small business journeys.

We’ll keep you posted on the results, but for now, we’re simply over the moon to be included alongside so many inspiring businesses from across the country.

Thank you to all our lovely customers, regulars and new faces alike, for helping us get here — and here’s to what comes next!
