There’s no better way to enjoy a truly British tradition than with a perfectly served cream tea and what better excuse than National Cream Tea Day?

This year, we’re inviting you to join us in celebrating the most delicious day of the year at our Tiptree Tea Rooms and selected locations, where freshly baked scones, rich clotted cream and our signature Tiptree preserves take centre stage.

We’re delighted to share something we’ve been working on behind the scenes… our new menu has arrived!

At Tiptree Tea Rooms, we’ve taken the time to thoughtfully refresh our food offering, bringing together much-loved favourites alongside some delicious new additions. Whether you’re joining us for a hearty breakfast, a relaxed lunch, or a classic afternoon treat, there’s something to suit every taste.

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and there’s no better way to treat Dad than with great food, thoughtful gifts, and quality time together. Across all of our Tiptree Tea Rooms, we’re delighted to be welcoming walk-ins all weekend, so you can pop in and celebrate without the stress of planning ahead.

National BBQ Week is the perfect excuse to enjoy bold flavours, summer favourites and, of course, plenty of Tiptree taste. To celebrate, our Tiptree Tea Rooms will be serving up a range of BBQ-inspired specials, alongside 10% off all Tiptree sauces and chutneys in-store.

Whether you’re craving smoky, sweet or savoury, there’s something delicious waiting for you.

With warmer days on the horizon, there’s no better time to dust off the grill and enjoy the great British barbecue. To celebrate National BBQ Week, all seven of our Tiptree Tea Rooms are serving up a delicious treat for BBQ lovers!

We were delighted to welcome Archie from Archie’s Veg & Eggs to Tiptree Farm recently. Although he’s only seven years old, Archie already has a remarkable passion for farming and growing his own food.

There was great excitement for the staff at the Essex Rose Tea House in Dedham when Their Majesties The King and Queen visited to meet the staff on Thursday. The event marked 25 years of Wilkin & Sons being at The Essex Rose and 140 years of jam making at Tiptree.

Valentine’s Month is often seen as a celebration of romantic love, but here at the Tiptree tea room, we believe love comes in many forms. Friendship, family, first dates, long-standing bonds, all of these connections deserve a little time, a little sweetness, and a lot of warmth.

That’s why we’ve created Tea for Two – Moments Made to Share, a gentle February ritual designed to slow down, savour the moment, and enjoy good company over tea and cake.

Join us at one of our seven Tiptree Tea Rooms for a little treat she’ll love. whether it’s afternoon tea, a relaxed lunch, or a classic cream tea. Enjoy good food, great company, and plenty of time together. 

We’re delighted to share some heart-warming news from this year’s Christmas Fair. After a wonderful weekend of selling our beautiful Nordmann Fir Tiptree Christmas Trees, all grown with care on Tiptree Goldhanger Farm, we found ourselves with a few trees left over. Rather than let them go to waste, we decided to donate them to Colchester Zoo to be used as enrichment for the animals.
