The best restaurants in Tiptree Colchester East of England

Just recently moved to Tiptree and called in for a coffee and Bakewell tart. Both were delicious. Friendly staff & good service.

The best breakfast I have had in a long time. The staff are lovely and welcoming too. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

well over an hr late. had to ring n get resent . and definitely not the large portion I paid for.. very disappointing.

Had brunch in the cafe yesterday, a sausage and bacon sandwich with a pot of tea for one. The tea was weak, even after leaving to brew, the sandwich was cold and greasy. Unfortunately with a friend who doesn't like to complain but definitely not a pleasant experience. I will not be repeating the experience

Came down from Nottingham to catch up with family, they could not have chosen a better place

Visiting friends and had the breakfast next morning. Food great. Staff friendly and attentive

We ordered take out from here. Arrived a few minutes after told to and we were made to wait for another 25 minutes. The food was good. But we were charged twice for an item and now can’t get through to them on the phone to resolve.

Very disappointed in the batter, had been sitting a while, soft and chewy, not crispy like it should be. Fish was dry. Won't be using this place again.

We’ve been going to Wongs for at least 30 years, first Tim and now Tom. Lovely food and always ready on time. Tom recognises who I am as soon as I say hello. I would definitely recommend them.😃

Maypole Restaurant is a delightful surprise. As seasoned Singapore residents, we've missed the vibrant flavors of authentic Chinese cuisine. Maypole successfully transports you back to the heart of Singapore, rekindling cherished food memories. A must-visit for anyone craving a taste of the Lion City.

Best food I have ever had out of tiptree and will keep going back. Service is great and staff are always talkative to pass the time

After tonight's experience I wish there was a negative star, cold food, brown chips and rude staff!

If I could give 10stars I would!!! Absolutely lovely lovely people who work here, always so friendly and kind! No matter if I get a delivery or pick up the food is always hot and genuinely would not go anywhere else! I think I've tried pretty much everything on the menu by now aha! Also the staff when above and beyond to help me and even bring my food to My car outside as I couldn't leave to collect my order even though they were sooo busy! Honestly I could keep talking about how amazingly friendly and how great all their customer service is but I'll stop here! 😅 thank you again to all the staff you all work very hard and it's definitely appreciated my myself! 😊

Have tried a few others but still come back. Chow mein is very good, nice and smokey. Smaller portions than others perhaps but always happy with our food.

If you ever find yourself at Perrywood Garden Centre and think, “Oh, I’ll just pop into the café for a quick bite”—brace yourself. It’s less ‘pop’ and more ‘prepare for takeoff’ with the long queues that greet you. The setup is rather canteen-like: drinks and hot food on one side, then another queue for cakes. Yes, it’s a two-stop journey before you even find your seat! You’ll need some first-class queuing patience for this one. Now, onto the food: it’s fine, but for the prices, you’d hope for something a little more gourmet. £70 for three people is steep for what we had—three soft drinks, two salads, a panini with chips, and three slices of cake. And while the cakes are fairly priced, they’re not exactly flying high in the flavour department. But hey, they weren’t bad enough to ground our experience completely. What’s saving grace here is the garden centre itself, which is, quite frankly, excellent. It’s like a glorious first-class cabin of plants, so I get why people flock to the café. If it wasn’t attached to such an amazing destination, though, I’m not sure the café alone would have the same pull. Still, I’d go again—because, let’s face it, the plants are worth the visit, and if you’re already there, might as well refuel. In summary: not bad, but not quite the high-flying experience one might hope for. Keep your expectations grounded, and you’ll be just fine!
