The View River Cafe Bar in Maldon

I prebooked by email .. communication was brilliant. Service very good and amazing bacon sandwich. Definitely recommend. We’ll 100% come back.

Stopped by for a afternoon tea. It was busy but we were seated quickly. Staff were friendly and efficient. The afternoon tea was nice and came quite quickly, the scones were lovely. It’s £30 for two which is dear for what you get compared to other places but you are paying for the tiptree product and location. Well worth a visit as part of your day out.

Visit this tea room quite often. Both for lunch and a naughty tea and cake. Enjoyable in all weather's with great views to match the food and service.

Part of the Tiptree group of cafes, this is a delightful place with views across the Blackwater Estuary. It was a rainy day when we visited but this didn’t spoil the occasion. We’d booked in advance for afternoon tea and a table had been reserved for us upstairs. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the range of cakes served for afternoon tea was impressive. We selected which sandwich each we wanted which was good but it would have been better if we could have had a selection of sandwiches on the plate. Could choose a drink with the afternoon tea so adults had tea and kids had hot chocolate with all the trimmings. The toilets are downstairs so it would be tricky if not mobile. Parking is limited and need to park at the entrance of the Osea Leisure Park and then it’s a very short walk through the park to reach the cafe. We would visit again but I can imagine it being quite busy and parking tricky on a sunny, fine day.
