Excellent service and menu choices. The location is right next to the water, and on a warm day sitting outside is glorious. The public car park, located on the right as you enter the holiday park, is just a short walk away. Have visited a couple of the Tiptree Tea rooms and all maintain the same quality of food and service. Thoroughly recommended as a meeting place for a light lunch.

Me, my husband and my parents came here for afternoon tea. We'd never been before, it was somewhere I found whilst looking for places to have afternoon tea. The reviews I read indicated it was well worth a visit, so that's how we came to be here. You have to book 24hrs in advance. The lady I spoke to was very pleasant. We were to be seated upstairs, after she asked if we could all manage to go up them, so that we would have a better view across the water. On arrival we were all impressed with how clean, bright and inviting it felt. The stairs were rather steep, but manageable. The upstairs room was lovely. The decor was bright and clean and the tables were laid out with matching crockery. We chose to sit by the window with a lovely view across the water. Afternoon tea includes an endless supply of tea/coffee, one cold drink each, your choice of sandwich from the menu, fruit scone, Tiptree jam and cream and a selection of tart, cheesecake and cake. Everything was delicious, fresh and looked amazing. The service was brilliant, we were checked on regularly, but not to the point where it was intrusive. All the staff were lovely and cheerful. The whole experience was just top notch all the way, and so relaxing too. We all definitely recommend a visit and will be coming back again. We will be telling family and friends about the place, it's too good too miss out on.
