Manager Peter Scott said: "This is a rebrand, serving fine teas and coffees. Everyone who remembers the Walrus has got older and we're done with the late evenings, and enjoy afternoon teas."
Barton's Tea Room sells a selection of home-made cakes, light lunches and cream teas.
At the moment it is open Tuesday to Saturday but there are plans to extend through the rest of the week during the spring and summer.
Customers will also notice that the current window display includes skies and a sledge as well as cakes.
Mr Scott said the plan was to change the window display to fit the season.

“Having an independant tea room is surely better than so many large Coffee chains about. We went in there and it is really nice and Peter was lovely. Good Luck”

“I can't afford to 'buy' a cuppa these days. I'd need to take out a mortgage!”

“I agree and the serving of light lunches should prove popular”

“Since they own the property they won't be burdened by high rents so, with such a central location, I imagine it'll do very well.”
