Tiptree Tea Rooms At The Barns, Cressing Temple

Absolutely love going to the Barns Tea room- either for coffee and catch up with friends or a spot of lunch. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and added bonus is that you can peruse the Tiptree produce too!! Would definitely recommend ...especially going for a walk around the grounds too! The walled garden is beautiful and it's sooo peaceful there too! At the moment they are serving Winter Ploughmans...wow! This was sooo nice and presented beautifully! Would definitely recommend!

Excellent, it was the second funeral wake ,I went to, they made us sandwiches of all kinds, cakes, scones with cream and tiny pots of jam. It was delicious. And it all started with a nice cup of coffee just how you like it. And we were able to have a nice chat with our food. They also do meals as well as functions. I highly recommend this place!

Wanted something different as my mum is fussy... we had a lovely unrushed afternoon tea. The barns are quite informative they have a small museum type place on site. We will be going to other Tiptree tea rooms to try those too.

Luckily we booked a table for 3, arriving at midday, by 12.30 the tearoom was fairly full. Food was very good and the service was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful.

Nice lunch out with my stepmum here the other day, pleasant staff, nice food, good options, I had a tuna melt which had some salad on the side which was nice and fresh and a complimentary onion relish/chutney which was so delicious I had to buy more to take home! Environment clean and bright/open, quiet and calm. Very nice and had 'of the day ' options on their menu and a nice selection, plenty of parking outside and felt like a nice little escape.
