We welcome well behaved dogs on the outside tables at the front of the tea room. Unfortunately, we cannot allow dogs inside the tea room.

Most of our Tea Rooms accept groups and parties but will depend on the numbers in the party/group as not all of the Tea Rooms have the capacity to take large numbers (please call your desired Tea Room for confirmation and availability).

We do not hire our Tea Rooms for exclusive use during opening times but bookings outside these times will be considered.

Afternoon Tea is served from 12pm every day but please arrive an hour at least before closing time in order to enjoy the full experience.

English Afternoon Tea for Two served on a three-tier cake stand with two freshly made sandwiches of your choice, homemade fruit scones, Tiptree Little Scarlet Strawberry preserve and Rodda’s classic Cornish clotted cream. A selection of our miniature individual patisserie items to finish, with your
choice of tea or coffee.

Afternoon tea for two people costs £40 and you can upgrade with a 100ml glass of Prosecco each for an extra £10.

Our tea rooms welcome a limited number of reservations, with availability varying on different days.

Please look at the tea room booking information page for details on when you can book for each tea room.

Calling us directly is the preferred booking method, please be aware that during busy breakfast and lunch periods, our staff may not be able to answer the phone immediately.

The Tea Rooms offer a variety of options for different dietary requirements (e.g. Gluten free and Dairy free) but it is always preferred to call ahead to ensure they have fresh options at the time of your visit.

Please note that we can provide dietary specific items but they will not be prepared in a allergen free kitchen.

Our Summer opening times start on 1st March and our Winter opening times start on 1st October. Please call ahead as The Tiptree Tea Rooms may need to consider closing a bit earlier than usual, due to low foot traffic in off season. Please keep an eye on our website and social media for details. Please call ahead of your visit if you are unsure on the opening times.

Here at Tiptree, we take your tea time seriously, even on Bank Holidays. You can count on all ten of our inviting tea rooms to be up and running on bank holidays, unless we explicitly mention otherwise.
