There’s nothing quite like a perfectly toasted slice of bread, and what better way to celebrate National Toast Day than at The Essex Rose and The Tiptree Tea Room, indulging in a selection of delicious toppings, all with that special Tiptree touch?
This year, we marked the occasion in the most delightful way, enjoying a scrumptious combination of flavours that elevated the humble slice of toast to a whole new level.
At The Essex Rose, guests savoured a mouth-watering Blackberry, Tiptree Blackberry Jelly, Brie & Watercress sandwich, where the rich creaminess of the brie perfectly balanced the tart sweetness of the blackberry jelly, all rounded off with the fresh bite of watercress. Alongside, we couldn’t resist a classic Tiptree Tawny Marmalade on toast, where the deep, citrusy flavours of this famous preserve shone on a crisp, buttery slice.

Meanwhile, over at Tiptree, the celebration continued with another selection of irresistible toast-based treats. The highlight was a Sliced Bloomer Toasted, topped with Tiptree Chilli Chutney, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and basil marinated in a balsamic glaze, served with fresh mozzarella and basil. This savoury delight offered the perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and creaminess—an unforgettable bite!

National Toast Day at The Essex Rose and Tiptree was a true toast to toast! Whether you prefer sweet or savoury, the magic of a beautifully toasted slice with quality toppings never fails to bring joy. Here’s to another year of delicious traditions—same time next year?
