Haybarn Tea Rooms in Chelmsford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

In area looking at antiques, decided to stop here for light lunch. Dissapointed to find that a Tea Room served our hot drinks in takeout cups and sandwiches on paper plates with plastic knives & forks. The menu sandwich choice read Thick hand cut Wiltshire ham, the sandwich turned up with one slice of thin cut ham. Sausage roll was cooked in microwave so pastry was soggy and a toasted tuna sandwich was not edible. Awful lunch! Addressed our complaint to the staff, was refunded back the Tuna sandwich. Doubtful we will rush back.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the Haybarn tearooms will be reopening on Wednesday 1st July. Takeaway service only from this date. Jo and Eileen are really looking forward to seeing everyone again....so spread the word 😄

Wonderful Afternoon Tea today for birthday treat. Lovely selection of savoury sandwiches and rolls and amazing home made cakes and scones. Very friendly staff and as much tea as we could drink. Amazing!

Came here on a Saturday, lovely quaint place Lovely food etc, Nice place , nice people will return Plenty of free parking Lots to look at round here

My friend and I had afternoon tea there today, it was delicious, the service was great, the setting is lovely, and the tea kept flowing, a lovely afternoon, and great staff too, will definitely be going back soon.

We visited the Haybarn Tea rooms for a Mothers day treat. The afternoon tea was simply amazing! we had freshly cut sandwiches, rolls, homemade cakes,cream and jam scones and fresh strawberries ! We couldn't finnish it all but were given little boxes to take home. The lady who runs it was so lovely and her friendly staff made us feel very welcome. I would totally recommend a visit to these lovely Tea rooms .

Great afteenoon tea for mothers day. Plenty of food, sandwiches, rolls, cake and drinks. Staff very friendly, happy and attentive. Highly recommend

Such a cute little tea room. They carry a large range of some of the most delicious and nicest range of cakes, (and I do know my cakes) not forgetting the cream scones around this area. They are very reasonable and I have always had excellent service. I did hear somebody complain about their jacket potato with cheese being a bit dry but let’s face it, if that is your choice of filling what else can you expect, despite the ladies best efforts supplying heaps of butter and offering to melt the cheese, they just had to give in and realise they had a moaner on their hands.I have also seen the afternoon teas which are to die for, at £12.50 per head they are so reasonable compared to others around. I would recommend you give them a try, you will not be disappointed xx

Toasted tuna in thin bland bread. Suspect their main trade are cakes. I was hungry and tea rooms Fraser booked up. Not that impressed

I visited Haybarn Tearooms with two friends. We had an afternoon tea booked and would highly recommend. Beautiful view and spotlessly clean with friendly staff that greet you with a welcoming smile. The sandwiches and cakes were so fresh they were delicious, there was so much we couldn't eat them all so they gave us a box each to bring them home. Will definitely be back soon!

Popped into this place whist visiting the Antique Outlets. Only a small place, tiny tables serving a Fabulous selection of cakes etc. Would highly recommend the Carrot cake, complimented with a good cup of tea. Prices very reasonable and portions very generous.

So having rediscovered Battlesbridge recently ( I used to freqeunt this place as a kid with my mum and dad some 40 years ago) we decided to try this little place. It is stunning and a proper vintage tea rooms. Lovely views as well onto the green and the pond. We opted for the ploughmans for myself and my daughter which was great, piece of chees, slice of carved ham, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, pot of branston, pot of coleslaw and chunk of french bread and a pickled onion, it was all lovely apart from the very soft pickled onions which we could not eat, the middles were literally mush. Hubby had a half of a french stick packed with cheese and ham. The ladies are lovely and will serve you whatever you want, ie if you dont want salad they will change for something else. We had already seen a customer outside attempting to eat the massive scones and decided we HAD to have those. They are huge (not cheap at £2.55 each) but I have to say they are big, fresh and are literally packed with cream and jam! (Look at the photos on Tripadvisor).Yum yum! Hubby ordered a pot of tea and he and my daughter got 7 cups of tea out of one pot! He said it was lovely tea too nice and strong. I ordered a latte but have to say it literally tasted like water. I suspect that it was a packet one so would not order this again. If you are visiting Battlesbridge Antiques Centre definitely pop into this place. Unlike the other tea rooms this place offers excellent value for money and the food is fresh. Waitresses are lovely and there is a very nice atmosphere in general. We will definitely being going back. It is also worth noting that the majority of the cakes are all home made, hence why you get a slice which is actually like a doorstop! Well done ladies.

If you visit the antiques shops in Battlesbridge & fancy a nice selection of refreshments after you finish your browsing, then why not try this tearoom. The staff are very friendly, they have a nice selection of snacks & cakes to tempt you & all can be purchased at a very reasonable price.

Very busy but waited in lovely sunshine for breakfasts. Fresh coffee great and staff so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was fab and beautifully cooked. Will make this our regular. CH

We needed a cup of tea and this little cafe certainly delivered a lovely pot of tea. Sandwich choices were a bit limited, so we settled for pasties which after being microwaved weren't great. They filled a need though and although the cafe is tiny it did have a nice atmosphere and was clean and tidy.

visited Easter Monday, needs a deep clean , or decorating ..Condiments on table , salt pepper, sugar bowl unclean to say the least, Very dry Cornish pastie, hot chocolate was made with hot water, Staff member kept pushing hair back, other member of staff pulled a face at cooked food order, member of staff put her fingers inside 2 mugs while picking them up .Hygiene and training needs to be attending to .

This is a lovely little tearoom. Jo and the staff are very welcoming. Food is always fresh and good quality. Perhaps not the cheapest but I have never had a cause to complain in the many years that I have been visiting.
