Half Term is nearly here and we’ve got the perfect treat for families looking to enjoy a meal out for less! Children under 12 can enjoy any main from our Children’s Menu for just £1 (excluding Afternoon Tea), making it a brilliant way to treat the little ones without breaking the bank.

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.

Christmas Has Arrived at the Tiptree Tea Rooms!

The festive season is here… and our Tiptree Christmas Dinners are already in full swing! 
Throughout December, we’re serving delicious festive feasts across three of our cosy tea room locations:
