Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Colchester

We visited the restaurant on Friday, 6th November, to celebrate my wife’s birthday, accompanied by our two-month-old baby. We were served by Lotty, who was absolutely wonderful throughout our visit. She went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after and comfortable. As this was our first dining experience out with our newborn, we were a little unsure of how things would go, but Lotty made us feel so welcome and at ease. Her kindness, attentiveness and understanding made the experience even more special. We truly appreciate the excellent service she provided and would like to thank her for helping make my wife’s birthday celebration a memorable one. Thank you, Lotty, for making our first family dining experience such a lovely one!

brilliant... lovely venue... great good and super service from Verity!

We had a fabulous meal which was presented beautiful from very attentive staff

The food is always excellent, I had the garden plate whick has lots of different elements, yummy. My friend had fruit pancakes which ain't really my thing but I tried some anyway and they were delicious. Ambience and staff fantastic. Should be able to pay with cash and tip staff with cash. Service charge should be made obvious too.

The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views. The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
