Merrymeade Tea Rooms in Brentwood - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We stopped by at Merrymeade tea rooms for coffee, tea and cake. We didn’t book but arrived at 11am and got a table straight away (overlooking the garden).

Honestly the best place for afternoon tea I’ve been to. The setting, the staff and most importantly the food is amazing. Took my mum today as her friend told her it was the best place (which I already knew) and she was not disappointed. The lovely staff were so welcoming, lovely fresh and clean surroundings and such well kept gardens with lovely views. All the food was lovely, nice fresh sandwiches, cakes and warm scones with fresh tea and coffee. Honestly couldn’t fault it and can’t wait to go back. 5***** all the way.

First time at the tea rooms and it was lovely. Great setting and a lovely feel to the place. Staff were really lovely and nothing was too much. We had the afternoon tea and it was lovely. Fresh sandwiches and very yummy cakes. The only criticism was that there were no chocolate cakes in the selection, but what were there were fresh and very tasty. Would definitely go back as their normal menu items looked amazing. Well worth a visit.

Went there today for an event. Was spotlessly clean, good choice of food and drink on offer. The lady behind the counter was very pleasant and polite Highly reccomend

We went to Merrymeade tea room for the Afternoon tea for a friends 70th birthday celebration. I actually arrived 30 minutes early in error but the staff were amazing and let me wait at our booked table for my friends to arrive. Once they arrived we ordered our chosen drink and soon after the plates with sandwich’s and cakes arrived. All I can say is it was amazing the sandwiches were all freshly made and the cakes were home made and tasty. Whilst chatting we notice another table had jacket potatoes and I will say now they looked massive and we all agreed we would return just to try those out. This is a little gem of a tea room not from from Brentwood High Street so if your shopping in the area give it a try.

We visited Merrymeade tea rooms with our two dogs as I’d seen they offer a doggy afternoon tea, a % of which goes to the local dog charity. It’s a beautiful setting with the country park next door for a walk to build up an appetite The dogs loved their generous platter of biscuits, muffin and puppicino We enjoyed our lunch too, with a nice selection of sandwiches, toasties and jacket potatoes Next time we will have Afternoon tea and a glass of Prosecco!

We often visit here. Our children go to the local school and often pop in for a drink and or a light bite, Always great service. Its fantastic in the summer too when you can sir outside and catch some rays ...

The wife and I fancied a nice lunch and this didn't dissapoint. We arrived and found a lovely house in Brentwood near the town centre. So a shop then lunch is easy to do. The food quality was spot on and there was loads on the plate for big eaters. The staff were attentive and food arrived quickly even though they were very busy. Looking forward to our next visit already.

Have attended the tea rooms on a weekly basis and have found this such a lovely place very welcoming kind staff and nice surroundings. Food is good quality and very well presented cakes handmade and have vegan options. It’s just nice place to go for a special occasion.

Had a lovely afternoon tea today with my family. Lovely selection of cakes & finger sandwiches. Scones were so fresh. Very good service and friendly staff. Would definitely visit again. Thank you.

Popped in to the tea rooms for lunch, parking available which is very handy. Sat outside on their picnic benches on a nice sunny day. I had coronation chicken sandwich which was really nice on bloomer bread. Cakes looked amazing but too full! Only wish this was open at weekends!!

Had my daughter’s baby shower here. It was beautiful. The room was elegantly set up for us with appropriate displays for a baby shower. The food was lovely and displayed to a very high standard. They went far and beyond with service. We had 4 youngest under 10 and they set up a table especially for them with a suitable Afternoon Tea for them. We were not made to rush and we’re very discreet with service. I have no hesitation in recommending this venue. In fact going to go back for Afternoon Tea myself. Karen and your daughter Alex thank you for helping to make Gemma’s Shower for memorable.

This tea room is very very expensive for what I would describe as very average food . Sandwiches are £8.95 and bread so thick you would break your teeth . Jacket potatoes again £9.95 . Even there coffee is expensive. As we now have Gail’s and Pretamanger on high street I will be going there .

I was taken here by my wife as a treat as it was the last Friday I would not be working before starting a new job. We were greeted by a young lady and shown to our table. Very nice atmosphere and only a few tables in the room. It all looked very quaint. We both liked the teaplates on the table. Our order was taken and drinks were delivered quickly. The food was delivered and it was all fresh. Food was very tasty. The cakes were delicious. It wasxsll served on a vintage bone China tiered cake stand and the tea was in a vintage teapot with little delicate teacups. Never knew this place existed but now we do - we both want to return as the whole experience was fantastic.

Located in Merrymeade House, off of Sawyers Hall Lane, this charming tea room is such a lovely place to visit. The tearooms are lovely, the quality of the food and drinks is second to none, with lovely china crockery (a decent cuppa always tastes better out of a china cup)! There is also ample outside seating in a pretty garden for when the weather permits and plenty of parking outside. This is such a great place to visit, I must admit to going there frequently, everyone involved at the tearoom are super friendly and efficient. Many thanks to everyone there!

I want to say Merrymead tea rooms is amazing the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and the food is fantastic I will definitely recommend to family and friends

Omg what a beautiful little tearoom. I visited today with a friend for afternoon tea. It was superb value for money. We had a lovely selection of beautiful homemade sandwiches and cakes. The family that run it are so friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend this gem of a place. If you want lovely food, a stunning location and great service, this has it all !!! I’ll definitely be returning

Such a lovely tea room; inside seating and outdoors with beautiful views. The food was plentiful, sandwiches were varied and full. The bread was fresh and thick (not cardboard slices at all). They cater for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets with plenty of variety...

With a thank you gift voucher we enjoyed an afternoon tea. The coffee was perfectly adequate. Sandwiches were very good. Cakes were wonderful especially the almond and cherry cake. Ambience was a little lacking but a very pleasant afternoon.

We had a hen party here for 27 people the staff were fantastic and the food was delicious! We had a room to ourselves so could play games and decorate and they catered really well for gluten free dairy free and vegans!

Just found this delightful tea room in Brentwood, it took a little bit of finding but once there we had a lovely afternoon tea despite the weather being biblical, the staff were just lovely and the place is doggie friendly. Will definitely go again

What a lovely place to have afternoon tea or lunch. The Staff go the extra mile, and always helpful. It feels completely covid safe. What a gem of a place, in beautiful grounds.

Sandwiches were lovely. Really well presented, great delivery, but the cakes were really dry which was disappointing.

Thank you so much to the hard working and extremely friendly staff who made a visit with friends so special. The afternoon tea was superb and is incredibly fresh and very generous. This is not the first time I have visited - I really recommend...

What a hidden treasure. We will return for lunch soon as we’d already booked elsewhere. Such a lovely building and garden. Staff were very friendly and the hot drinks were amazing.

Had a lovely luxury afternoon tea vegan option was awesome. The bakewell cake was delish and the huge chocolate covered strawberry. Thank you. A nice early mothers day treat for my mum before isolation!

Delicious, delicate sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, chocolate covered strawberries and a great selection of cakes including a devine vegan cherry bakewell sponge. All delivered to my house on beautiful,...

Well I couldn’t have put it better than the only other review. Certainly a hidden gem. I’m almost apprehensive about reviewing it in case it gets too popular. A small tea room in Merrymeade house (which also houses the Buddhist centre) this tea room is...
