cake and tea and withnail

This is one of my favorite movies ever but I'm not sure that the joy of tea was fully appreciated by Mr. Withnail and Mr. I in this scene at the Penrith.  Yet everyone else stayed unflappably British and not a tea cup was broken nor any jars of lemon curd disturbed.  But, according to this great website detailing the major filming locations of Withnail & I, this quaintest of tearooms doesn't even exist and is instead a chemist's shop.
