The best restaurants in Tiptree Colchester East of England

The tea rooms has 3 distinct areas to sit, no bookings taken so in high season or busy times a queue might be there. There are some chairs in the queue area for those who need it. There's overflow parking too. We chose to sit in the marquee area as it was quieter than in the main restaurant. There's outdoor seating too. We ordered the afternoon tea at £50 for 2 people - average price for the area. It was gorgeous. We weren't offered any range of teas however so these may not be on offer? You could have your teapot refreshed as often as needed. You get a choice of 2 sandwiches from a list of about 10 different choices, we had coronation chicken and salmon and cream cheese. Then the scones with jam and clotted cream were gorgeous. Mini choc brownie, walnut cake, cherry bakewell and macaron topped you up and we couldn't possibly eat anything else.

Missing items..not for the first time

pizza and burger were 10/10 Unfortunately my kebab and chips were cold. very unusual and hopefully a one off

Ordered a pizza ( mexican hot ) I asked for extra topping ( hardly any) Also a portion of fries! Had to wait 40 minutes for the order, When it arrived the fries were just about warm as was their pizza! Not the best experience!!
