Visit The Tiptree Tea Room in Dedham, The Essex Rose
How wonderful to take a stroll through parts of the countryside which are little changed from the times when English painter John Constable lived here and painted his favourite scenes.
The 16th Century Essex Rose Tea Room is open seven days a week, every week of the year except over the Christmas period. Traditional table service, historic quiet and comfortable surroundings and good value home-made food guarantee that you’ll be made welcome, enjoy your visit, and want to return soon.
The tea house serves a range of sandwiches, jacket potatoes, cooked lunches, hot and cold snacks, and home-baked cakes. When you next visit us, try our special Afternoon Tea served with ‘Tiptree’ strawberry conserve and Rodda’s clotted cream.
Visit the Essex Rose.
From the A12 between Colchester and Ipswich, take any one of three exits and head towards Dedham, just a couple of minutes’ drive. Park in the nearby car park off Mill Lane or in the centre of the village if you can find a space. Be warned, there is a time limit for street parking.
The Essex Rose is the timber-framed pink building right on the square, across the road from the Marlborough pub. Limited wheelchair access is available. Coach parties and larger groups welcome, please ring ahead to book for groups of 8 or more.
